The man himself
Samuel "raocow" Tanguay
- all lowercase letters: The proper way to spell his name.
- Bilingual Bonus: Expected given his native language is Québécois French.
- Breathless Non Sequitur: Near constantly. Lampshades in the title of his YouTube channel, which says "WARNING: non-sequitur content ahead"
- Buffy Speak: Justified, as French in Quebec has many words that mean "thing" with connotations that don't translate well into English.
- Catchphrase: Plenty. See the main page for details.
- Cloud Cuckoolander/Talkative Loon: This is raocow's "gimmick" as a Let's Player. He has noted that he plays up this aspect of himself for his videos, and he is not nearly so wacky in real life.
- Department of Redundancy Department: "I need to resist the allure of constant repetition."
- Dissimile: All the time.
- Genki Guy: He tends to be very excited and laughs a lot during his videos.
- Gentle Giant: Apparently, he's very tall in real life, and he's also a very kind person. Averted with his appearance in the games, though, where he's just normal sized.
- I Meant to Do That: Often said after he dies, usually with one of two catchphrases: "That was a demo" or "That was For Science!".
- Large Ham: He will often indulge in overacting for the funny value. Be warned that it can happen without warning.
- Trapped in TV Land: In A Super Mario Bros. X Thing, raocow himself gets sucked into the game as a playable character. He never escapes, or even tries to, as in A2XT he goes along with the events and claims he doesn't really know what's been going on since he became Trapped in TV Land in the first place.
- The Unseen: Never seen in real life, other than a VERY cropped self-portrait and his hands in the Christmas unboxing videos. In this video
, a reflection showing a distorted version of his face is shown.
Reoccurring characters in raocow's LPs
Zbambabar
From Super Talking Time Bros.- Big Damn Heroes: Saves Demo and Sheath from Luigi's deadly trap in one of the extra levels in MAGLX3, thanks to his expert knowledge of crates.
- Butt-Monkey: Has "died" a few times.
- The Cameo: Made an appearance inside the flesh-lord in A2XT.
- He also appears at the end of Spike Castle in MAGLX2.
- He also shows up in many levels in MAGLX3, introducing a bathroom and two boss fights, among other things. He's also one of the key characters in the 11-X level, one of the very few levels in the compilation with an actual storyline.
- Crossover: Zbambabar appears in a Mario-themed Super Mario Bros. X fangame. In Super Talking Time Bros 2, there are a few Kirby references. In Super Talking Time Bros 2.5, he's pretty much the only Kirby character in the maingame besides of the final bosses, Galacta Knight and Dark Matter.
- Eldritch Abomination: Implied to be one in a Make a Good Level X level.
- In-Series Nickname: Calls the Super Squad "Unca Weegie". In levels which are built around Link, he calls him "Auntie Link".
- Me's a Crowd: In MAGLX3, it is revealed that there's a Zbambabar factory inside the Sun.
- Shout-Out: In Zbambabar's cameo in MAGLX2, he says he "saw (implied to have defeated Needle Man too) Needle Man note , but he was nothing compared to Majin Buu".
The Ghost of Christmas Ghost
raocow's actual real-life cousin and roomie. Occasionally operates the camera in raocow's Christmas unboxing videos.- The Ghost: raocow respects her privacy, so she never appears on-camera and only rarely speaks (and then only in French). Despite this she's become something of a fan favorite.
