Electrical Beast
Ey, dis is Electrical Beast, AKA the Jolteon of Let's Plays!
ElectricalBeast (real name Adam, according to his YouTube profile) is a very British YouTube user whose most famous work is a Let's Play of Super Mario 64. At 60 parts, it's very long, and often has many funny moments, exacerbated by his hilarious accent and happy-go-lucky personality. The second-to-last episode was released in April 2008, but due to computer problems, the final episode was put in Development Hell until Christmas 2010, when EB uploaded it as a gift to all his watchers. In September 2010 he started a Let's Play of Minecraft, and in April 2011 he began an LP of Super Mario Bros Crossover. He may also be starting an LP of Super Mario Sunshine and RuneScape.
Retsupurae has done several RPs of him, and have noted that he, along with Billy MC and MuscleBomber2021, is one of their favorite LPers.

- Go Mad from the Revelation: It was a fairly normal Super Mario 64 LP until Episode 24, where he revealed Mario could teleport. It only got more crazy from there.
- Harmless Villain: His view of Bowser.
"So Bowser is using Mario's own power to destroy Mario. Isn't Bowser pathetic?"

- Throw It In: The emulator EB is using tends to lag fairly often, but it's learned later on that this is Bowser using his "earthquake attack".
- In Super Mario Crossover, he missed a Star. This helped him deduce that Bowser's plan was to turn the Stars against Mario and friends.
- Time Travel: His interpretation of Tick Tock Clock is a time machine, and Bowser plans to use it to turn back time by 10 years to when Mario was a baby and get the stars earlier.

- Villain Ball: "I think [Bowser] made a mistake by giving our memory back."
- Wham! Episode: Episode 13 of Minecraft. Bowser appears to talk to Mario via a painting, and reveals that he used the time machine's mystical energy to erase Mario's memory, create the monsters in the Minecraft world, and teleport him here. It ends on a cliffhanger.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Justified in episode 46 or the Super Mario 64 Let's Play.
"The best thing to do when you get in this level is try and find as much spider thingies as you can. So just kill 'em under any circumstance. I know they're animals with feelins', but they're only a game character. HUH!"
- Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Besides Mario's careers as a plumber, doctor, and carpenter, EB says he's a champion sumo wrestler.
