* CharacterThemeSong:
** '' "It's Craigity Craig... Craig With A Wig! [[WinkDing *ding*]]

[[caption-width-right:350:This picture makes him look far more serious and level-headed than [[CloudCuckoolander he really is]]. But we're going with it.]]

* FreudianSlipperySlope: While Craig tries to tease Sarah Palin on the very DoubleEntendre ridden words that she used in an article, he quickly succumbs to this trope
-->'''Craig:''' ''Sarah, I too believe that the media is sometimes not "up" to the task. Sometimes they're "soft" on the facts. Sometimes they're unable to "harden" their sexual organs...I mean their sexy research, I-I mean their research penis! ...I'll leave the metaphors to you''

* 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. [[UpToEleven Played to the extreme]] with "Craig With A Wig."

** It's actually rather rare for clones to be 'depressed', they just don't seem to understand that you can disobey Craig. (See Clone In Love who escaped by...running past Craig who merely looked back and admired the clone's butt.)

* LegacyCharacter: Over the years, Craig himself has been replaced by his own clones several times after being killed by them in various ways.

** 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]]..."
* SoundEffectBleep: More like a "ding", to replace "fuck." "Shit" is replaced with the high-pitched word "Shirt," accompanied by Craig's mouth being momentarily obscured by [[ShamelessSelfPromoter a picture of a WheezyWaiter "beard logo" shirt]]. ("Ass" is also occasionally replaced by a picture/overdub of "Pants", in a self-referential parody.)

** GET DRUUUUUNK!

* LampshadeHanging: Deserves a special mention, since he hangs a lampshade over [[UpToEleven almost every goddamn thing he does.]]

* IncrediblyLamePun: One of his specialities. Sometimes [[LampshadeHanging draws attention to them]] using "Pun Cam" (changing camera angle for the pun), "Pun Count" (making a fast sequence of puns about a particular subject

* 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}}s, 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...

His videos take the form of heavily fictionalized videoblogs—although in his videos [[FauxDocumentary he insists that they are a documentary]], and life is filmed 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.

->''"Winks that ding, rugs that sing, and lots of other silly things" ''
-->-- Craig, on his channel description

->''"It's kind of like a comedy news anchor combined with Pee-Wee’s Playhouse" ''
-->-- Craig, when asked how to describe his videos

Craig Benzine, or [[http://www.youtube.com/user/wheezywaiter wheezywaiter]], is a popular Website/YouTube user with a comedy vlog, eponymously named "Wheezy Waiter." New installments are uploaded every weekday, nearly without fail.

In his videos, Craig ostensibly (and primarily) plays "himself", but he creates a bizarre world of heightened reality, brimming with [[CloningBlues suicidal clones]], {{slapstick}} bagel fights, TimeTravel, black holes, and an off-camera whale tank (in the middle of his living room).

* RunningGag: [[strike:Explosion Wednesday,]] Creator/DavidHasselhoff, Creator/ScarlettJohansson, free bagel Friday, the hot dog costume, juggling, breathing, banjo face, getting the coffee, the whale tank, punching clones, jumpcuts, "Eat beard", creating and showing lists, making parody songs about food, Craig's Sky Bank, Michael Phelps in the whale tank and doing drugs, Craig's mom swearing and insulting him, "GET DRUNK", creating a black hole by punching his fists together, clones jumping into the alligator pit, the thought microphone, traveling through time by jumping, extreme closeups, Craig With A Wig, Ty the Regular Guy, punching the eagle, the angry sun, handstands, Quiet Clone...

*** Wheezy explaining that Explosion Wednesday is NOT "a thing", however, has BECOME a thing.
** Commenters who ask "how to find love?" are met with: "You must open your heart. [[RepeatCut Your heart.]] [[BrokenRecord Your heart]] [[OverlyLongGag heart heart heart]]..."

* WinkDing: A staple of Craig's videos, usually at the end of them. Originally done by him, then eventually by the fans

* ArtefactTitle: He ditched his job as a waiter to become a full-time YouTuber.

** Let the wheezing begin!

* CatchPhrase: "Hello beard lovers." "I love it when the coffee's done!" "Gimme that bagel." "My life is boring." later replaced with the much better 'BEARD SLAM'

* IncrediblyLamePun

--> CLONE: But I've never exploded. Oh, I see what you're getting at- (Explodes.)
