Darth Wiki / Nathan Cameron

In an alternate 2009, Youtuber Nathan Cameron decided to honor the worst movies, TV shows, and internet videos (primarily focusing of YouTube Poop) in the world, doing it in a way that parodies Award Shows (kinda like the Golden Raspberry Awards, only it's for "the best of the worst, and the worst of the best"). This "award show" takes place atop the roof of a building, where the weather is unusually snowy. However, this "show" is interrupted by a trans-dimensional vortex, which spews out giant octopus tentacles that smash everything in their path. Characters from the CD-i Games appear and cause chaos and discord...

And the man behind it all... is Aran Ryan of Punch-Out!!

Wow, didn't see that coming.^! Yeah, right!

Aran has wicked-awesome powers in this this incarnation, the kind that rival the Elder Gods... Oh, Crap!.

Tropes

Within the "show"...

• Alien Geometries: "Their" world is supposedly this, although it is never seen; the cameras would break from the sheer Mind Screwiness of it.
• Badass Normal: Nathan Cameron. It's his show, damnit, and it's his duty to keep things in check! Abnormal Irishmen be damned.
• Creative Sterility: Humans are said to be (one of) the most imaginative beings in the universe, able to take its own image and twist it into horror after horror, hence why the chaos beings appear as superpowered Italian plumbers, a goofy swordfighting elf, and an insane & pragmatic Irish boxer.
• Cosmic Horror Story: a lighthearted (but still demented) take on it.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Nathan actually gives some pretty effective hits to Aran as the story goes on, but none more effective than in the end, where he causes Aran to explode, sending his mooks back to the world from which they came.
  • Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: By defeating the evil hyper-dimensional beings, Nathan saved the world, but his audience and crew are all dead. So much for that award show.
    • It is also implied in the epilogue that Nathan might be slowly turning into an Aran-Ryan-alike for all his trouble. Uh-oh...
• Eldritch Abomination: The giant tentacle mass and Aran Ryan.
• Minor Major Character: Hectan. He's supposedly as badass as Aran with his own set of powers to boot, but he's only in the spotlight for the middle of the "show", everywhere else he's nothing but a background brawler.
• Order Versus Chaos: Although Nathan isn't really that ordered, his dedication to the order of the show is enough to assign him as the chaos-calmer.
• Photoshop Filter of Evil: In the end, the remaining camerawoman tries to get Nathan to talk about his feelings about the terrible catastrophe, but Nathan suddenly turns around in a flurry of liberal faux-shaky-cam to reveal that he's a little on the Irish maniac side and DOES NOT WANT TO BE INTERVIEWED! His "Aran" side has his hair in a similar style to Aran's, doing an Aran-Ryan-esque voice, while the effects screw up his appearance until he looks like an impressionist painting with bleeding colors.
• Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: Aran can't be harmed by "wimpy little human punches", but a crowbar to the back of his head is enough to stun him for a short while. Nathan applies the crowbar liberally.
• Sanity Has Advantages: During a fight with Nathan, Aran began to fight like a proper boxer, giving Nathan a fair challenge before saying "What the hell am I doing?!" and launching an energy ball at Nathan's groin.
• Serial Escalation: Nathan Cameron's arrival involves a monorail train to the roof of the building, and it leaps over a raised gap in the track (like a freakin' stunt car, only loooooooooonger), and it crashes spectacularly into a giant mattress. Everyone on it inexplicably survives, albeit with a case of whiplash (except for Nathan, our hero, who is mostly Made of Iron).
• Starring Special Effects: Aran and his motley crew.
• Super-Empowering: When a bystander watching The SBIG Awards on his computer stared into Hectan's eyes, he became a Brainwashed wannabe wearing an idiotic costume, blessing Hectan for his "powers", which included X-ray vision (nothing more than thinking in 3-Dimensions) and flying (running really fast with some amateur Parkour). He's later arrested for punching an "evil" pair of Half Identical Twin babies.
• Surreal Horror/Surreal Humor: The SBIG Awards is made of these.
• The Treachery of Images: Aran and his ragtag gang of YTP misfits are only seen in our world in their computer-generated, semi-physical forms. Their real forms cannot exist in our world without Dividing By Zero. They have fun with the humans by trying (and failing) to convince them that they are nothing in this world but digital information.
  • Nathan can comprehend it, but only through Bellisario's Maxim.
• You Can Not Grasp The True Form: The tentacle mass appears to be too many octopus tentacles, and then some, but what they're actually attached to... OH SHI--

Outside of the "show"...

• Agent Mulder: Nathan, who believes that the chaos beings of his movie (which he dubbed "chaotizans") are real, and are balanced by the orderly "virtuizans", who are purely about justice, law, and order... no matter what.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Nathan's strange dreams give him the most inspiration for his works and beliefs.
• Catchphrase:

Nathan: "(Noun Phrase) and all that jazz."

Leo: "You better believe it, busta!" (said with Aran Ryan's voice)

Charlie: "Hehe, yeah... what? This ain't gonna work."

• Critical Backlash: The reason why Nathan made The SBIG Awards.
• Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Nathan says curiosity is a chaotic trait because of its chaotic implications, but he also favors it over staying put, even though he says the latter is the most orderly thing to do.
• Disappeared Dad: Nathan's dad was his favorite mentor until he died from a mysterious illness when Nathan was only 11. Every crappy movie he's done since is a tribute to him, since they made movies together long ago.
• Does Not Understand Sarcasm: Charles Gibbon, who everyone calls Charlie. He also falls for April Fools "news stories", hence why he hates that holiday.
• Dumb Muscle: Charlie again. He isn't a total idiot, more like a Genius Ditz, as he has great technical skills in model-making and special effects as well as his strength, but he isn't that knowledgeable in world cultures, but then again, most of what he knows about history and the outside world comes from movies and cartoons, so you can't really blame him.
• Fiery Redhead: Leo, being an auburn-haired quarter-Irish, fits part 2 of this trope, part 1 has been mildly present since childhood, even before he knew that was a stereotype of the Gaelic, and then he embraced it in his Aran Ryan persona.
• MacGyvering: Leo is the master of this, and along with Charlie, who needs stinkin' expensive film equipment when you got a video camera, some PVC piping, duct tape, and a little imagination?
• Mad Artist: Nathan Cameron is rather eccentric, but how much so depends on who you're speaking to.
• Man of a Thousand Voices: Leo, from his girly screams to his guttural growls, is potentially the Mel Blanc of the New Media. He does a spot-on impersonation of Aran Ryan, which was one of the inspirations for SBIG.
• Never Speak Like That Again: Leo and his Aran Ryan voice to Nathan, especially when Leo yells and swears in that voice.
• One-Hit Wonder: Nathan worries he's becoming one of these because of the popularity of his SBIG Awards around his college and abroad. He even finds himself known as "that nutty/cool/little/damn/hot/cute/etc. SBIG guy".
• Real Men Wear Pink: Nathan loves tea (herbal teas and Earl Grey are his faves) and believes that tiger cubs are freakin' adorable; why else would he include them in lieu of puppies, kitties or bunnies? His "manliness" is in his ability to take a punch, real or computer-generated, although the two sometimes become one and the same.
• They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste: Nathan loves baaaad movies, and so if it's a trope (over)used in a bad movie, he'll use it in his own movies for good measure. Nathan believes that his steadfast dedication to his bad movies is what gives them their schtick.
• Throw It In!: So many times that it actually outweighs the scripted plot, and yet fits awesomely. Nathan considers himself a "weird coincidence magnet".
• Jive Turkey/Totally Radical: Nathan's speech is a mix of beatnik, hippie, and 80's dude. He picked it up from his dad, who picked it up from his dad. Dude...
  • Sophisticated as Hell: Don't be surprised when Nathan speaks Antiquated Linguistics one minute and quotes Internet fads the next.
• True Neutral: Nathan's morals are fair, but he doesn't believe in the standard "good" and "evil", instead believing in a balanced mix between "chaotic" and "virtuous" traits.
