| | Wheezy Waiter (Web Video) |
comment |
Craig Benzine, or WheezyWaiter, is a comedy YouTuber known for his non-sequitur sense of humour and heavy use of recurring jokes.His videos take the form of heavily fictionalized videoblogs created by an exaggerated, quirky version of himself—although in his videos he insists that they are a documentary, and that his life is filmed exactly as it happens. Recurring elements include clones of himself he creates to do chores for them, and sends to an alligator pit at the end of each day, bad puns, a whale he keeps in a tank in his room, Time Travel, and an apartment that doubles as a Cool Starship.He seems to talk about his beard a lot, and as a result his fans are called "Beardlovers." |

comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Deserves a special mention, since he hangs a lampshade over almost every goddamn thing he does, for comic effect, or Self-Deprecation. |

Disney Owns This Trope: In protest of complaints that any vlogger who "clones" himself in a video is copying fellow YouTuber Mystery Guitar Man, Craig has declared breathing to be "his thing" and says that everyone else who breathes in a video is copying him. |

Sound-Effect Bleep: The F-bomb is replaced with a simple ding, but "shit" is replaced by a high-pitched "SHIRT," and an image of a WheezyWaiter branded T-shirt is briefly superimposed over his mouth. In reference to this, "ass" is replaced with "PANTS" and covered by a picture of some jeans. |

Legacy Character |
| | Wheezy Waiter (Web Video) / int_c9e5a0db |
comment |
Legacy Character: Over the years, Craig himself has been replaced by his own clones several times after being killed by them in various ways. Sometimes, this is followed up by the real Craig reappearing unscathed, revealing the replacement to have been a clone all along, or by a very disorienting sequence of events which leave the viewer completely confused. Sexy Clone was also replaced at the end of the Meteor Saga by Expendable Clone. |

Clone Angst |
| | Wheezy Waiter (Web Video) / int_e780f603 |
comment |
Clone Angst: 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 distracting Craig with his butt. However, most just comically under-react to the prospect of having to kill themselves. |

Explosion Wednesday won't be official until Oprah tells him to make it so. "How to find love? Well, you must open up your heart. Look inside your heart. Listen to your heart. Heart heart heart..." |
