History WebVideo / WheezyWaiter

His videos take the form of heavily fictionalized videoblogs created by an exaggerated, quirky version of himself—although in his videos [[FauxDocumentary he insists that they are a documentary]], and that [[BlatantLies his life is filmed exactly as it happens]]. Recurring elements include [[CloningBlues clones]] of himself he creates to do chores for them, and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath sends to an alligator pit]] at the end of each day, [[IncrediblyLamePun bad puns]], a whale he keeps in a tank in his room, TimeTravel, and an apartment that doubles as a CoolStarship.

* CloningBlues: A small number of the clones Craig creates are depressed about the short and trivial nature of their lives—even though nothing is preventing them from disobeying Craig and fleeing, as Clone In Love did by [[{{Narcissist}} distracting Craig with his butt]]. However, most just [[AngstWhatAngst comically under-react]] to the prospect of having to kill themselves. Played to the extreme with "Craig With A Wig."

* LampshadeHanging: Deserves a special mention, since he hangs a lampshade over [[UpToEleven almost every goddamn thing he does]], [[SelfReferentialHumor for comic effect]], or SelfDeprecation.

* AndIMustScream: Craig's T-Rex toy that can no longer roar, as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuMjdoKF1VE here.]]
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Comes somewhat close to using it word for word in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLrCJo5rLcY&feature=bf_next&list=WL63EFA8738FD96681&index=1 this episode]], where he lists things you should not do on Anti Corruption Day, including corruption, murder, and double parking

-->-- Craig, in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G93pHkobaLk Intro to Wheezy Waiter]]"

Craig Benzine, or [[https://www.youtube.com/user/wheezywaiter WheezyWaiter]], is a comedy [[Website/YouTube YouTuber]] known for his [[NonSequitur non-sequitur]] sense of humour and heavy use of [[RunningGag recurring jokes]].

He seems to talk about [[BadassBeard his beard]] a lot, and as a result his fans are called "Beardlovers."

* DisneyOwnsThisTrope: In protest of complaints that any vlogger who "clones" himself in a video is copying fellow {{Website/YouTube}}r WebVideo/MysteryGuitarMan, Craig has declared breathing to be "his thing" and says that everyone else who breathes in a video is copying him.

* ChooseYourOwnAdventure: Occasionally, you'll get to make a choice about what Craig does. He'll badger you until you do, sometimes drinking "human poison" if you fail to do so (afterwards explaining that he's dead, and it's your fault).

* RunningGag: Too many to list. Free Bagel Friday, the hot dog costume, juggling, Banjo Face, getting the coffee, the whale tank, eagle-punching, gratuitous toplessness, [[LaughTrack ironic canned laughter]], chips and salsa, Quiet Clone, Sexy Clone, [[StrawNihilist Craig With A Wig]], "EXPLOSION!" (featured on Explosion Wednesday, [[Creator/ScarlettJohansson Scarlett Johansson]], dinosaur dancing the Charleston, brand new couch, singing carpet...
** Explosion Wednesday won't be a "thing" until [[strike:God]] Oprah tells him to make it one.
*** Wheezy explaining that Explosion Wednesday has always been a thing in one video, before going back to insisting that it has never been a thing in the next video, et cetera.
** Commenters who ask "how to find love?" are responded to with: "You must open up your heart. [[RepeatCut Look inside your heart.]] [[BrokenRecord Listen to your heart]]. [[OverlyLongGag Heart heart heart]]..."
