** JumpingTheShark / HarsherInHindsight: In some of his LPs he pointedly mentioned how he disliked LPers who excessively complained about the game and / or sung during their LPs. Raocow nowadays pretty much does nothing but that, with only occasional glimmers of his original rambling energy.

** Says the same thing twice in a row: Take a drink. Add a drink for each repeat after that

** Laughs hysterically for 30 or more seconds: Finish your drink.
*** Raocow commented on this, in the 25th Kamek's Revenge video (The Quarry - Starlit Wonders):
--> {{Raocow}}: Yeah, so, they were talking about revamping ye olde drinking game. If I may suggest something as whenever Baby Mario's off the screen for whatever reason, I think that's a good time for... getting alcohol poisoning.

* NightmareFuel: In a creepy red-and-black level with no music, he starts channeling [[CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]] by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x25LlloXMaM&t=8m25s singing a slow, creepy song with ridiculous yet somehow unsettling lyrics,]] improvised on the spot.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9asrRTteEGI Said song]] will be used as the final boss theme in A2MT, the sequel to ASMT.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8iX2Ijr3RM#t=1m12s His evil laugh is surprisingly creepy]]. Considering what he was talking about, as well...
** He seems genuinely freaked out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n_abEmvbCw&t=3m15s here]] by the creepy crack in the wall and the utter silence.
---> "... Let's run away... Let's run away. Let's run away! I don't like that! Let's find refuge in a ghost house, that seems a lot safer!"
** While playing AnUntitledStory, he suggested [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF68HmM6agM&feature=relmfu&t=7m20s here]] that he was going to destroy your face after playing with your intestines "as if they were a doll." He then goes on to say that he gets Christmas presents from the morgue for all the children in his basement. Seriously, Raocow, that's messed up.
** The beginning of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATNIVzB_iJk this video.]] I... I don't know what that was.
* TearJerker: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pUAnUmsH8o R.I.P., Gaston.]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KD795GmJyw The Sad Video.]] Sad Raocow is extremely depressing.

** Compared to most [=LPers=], Raocow is actually very good at Mario (aside from certain tasks, like learning boss patterns). His refusal to use save states (since December 2008) makes his mistakes more apparent and significant, especially in very difficult hacks.
