Darren (Potato)

Irish streamer potato. Specializes in post-apocalyptic simulators and various forms of RPGs. He was once known as Iwantapotato on Twitch and VicariousPotato on YouTube but later switched to simply Potato on both sites. Anthropomorphic Food: His avatar is a potato with a face. Fan artists often draw him as a potato with a face, such as in pieces depicting the whole group, despite what he actually looks like being well known. Mascot with Attitude: Commonly known as the potato with a sailor mouth.

Oireland: Parodied. His usernames play up the stereotype that Irish people love potatoes.

Sir Swears-a-Lot: Often puts the other Vinesauce streamers to shame with his entertainingly foul language.

Trademark Favorite Food: Potatoes, if his original Twitch username (Iwantapotato) is anything to go by.

Imakuni (Imakuni)

Multiple Streamers

Former / Inactive Streamers

StudyGuy

A Californian streamer who devoted his streams to riffing Japanese and anime-themed games. Takes on the form of Kim Jong-il or a pig. No longer a Vinesauce streamer, due to a loss of interest in streaming. Animal Motifs: One of his personas is that of a pig. At one point he was affectionately known as StudyPig.

Gingers (FearGingers)

A casual Welsh streamer with no defining game preferences. Appears to be on indefinite hiatus. According to Imakuni he wants to continue streaming, but is living in Oceania at the moment and has bad Internet service that isn't very suitable for streaming. The Cameo: He joined in on the Everyone is Vinny stream rather abruptly, before getting the hell out almost immediately due to worries that the ongoing conversation would get him deported.

GPM (GeePM/Gay Purple Man)

KY (Kingky/LiveByFoma1)

Specializes in indie and retro games. Commonly known as the Spelunky guy. In 2018 he took an extended hiatus from streaming—and by extension, Vinesauce—for personal reasons, eventually returning as an independent streamer. One of the original Vinesauce streamers. Extraverted Nerd: Is outright called a hipster by both friends and fans. His friends also often mention that he loves partying.

Guest-Star Party Member: Occasionally shows up in Vinny's Super Smash Bros. streams.

Hipster: The New York meetup video straight-up describes him as a closet hipster. His preference for indie and retro games doesn't help. Several comments on the PAX East video on Vinny's YouTube channel, which features him, refer to him as "Hipster Vinny" due to the resemblance between the two.

In-Joke: His avatar's crown and the "King" part of his username refer an April Fools' Day joke from 2012 that saw the stream renamed to "Kings of KY" and had him as the only streamer for the whole day. Meaningful Name: Parodied. Someone asked at PAX East 2015 if KY is "Vinny's social lubricant" and Vinny noted a chat comment regarding this in one of his Super Mario Bros. 3Mix streams.

Trademark Favorite Food: Parodied. One of Rev's PAX South videos portrays him as being overly fond of pickles.

Hootey (Hootey/Hootonium)

The wise owl, known for being the oldest active streamer on the team. Plays a variety of games, and is known for practicing and performing speedruns, mainly of Super Punch-Out!!. He has resigned from Vinesauce in order to focus more on charity work, but still streams on his own once in a while. As of June 2019, he is currently the president of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Variety is Hope, of which Vinesauce is Hope is the flagship event. Arch-Enemy: In his Super Punch-Out!! streams, Bob Charlie, who has become infamous for ruining many of Hootey's runs.

Intellectual Animal: Hootey is considered one of the most sophisticated streamers, and an owl.

Man of a Thousand Voices: Like Vinny and Joel, he can pull of a wide range of voices, although this is less well known due to his less frequent appearances. Trademark Favorite Food: Thanks to a mondegreen in Super Punch-Out!!, he has become associated with "pizza cake".

Associates

Dem (Demengineerz)

One of the more prominent Vinesauce mods. Has a tendency to destroy Vinny whenever he competes with him in any video game. He has also made some highlight videos of Vinesauce streams. Canada, Eh?: According to his Twitter profile, he is from Canada.

The Rival: As said before, Dem tends to present a challenge to Vinny in many of the multiplayer games they played together, from Mario Party to Grand Theft Auto. He also made a series of highlight videos focusing on Vinny raging over numerous games, generally difficult platformers. However, some of his highlight videos are unrelated to this (such as how his "Fall of Frooby" video is a shortened version of one of Joel's The Sims 3 streams, featuring Joel's eccentric Fred Sim).

However, some of his highlight videos are unrelated to this (such as how his "Fall of Frooby" video is a shortened version of one of Joel's The Sims 3 streams, featuring Joel's eccentric Fred Sim). Vitriolic Best Buds: While Dem and Vinny tend to get heated when competing one another, the complete opposite happens in coop, in which they tend to be much more friendly.

Reg (Regaulity)

One of the more prominent Vinesauce mods, known for messing with everyone and being weird. Bile Fascination: Invoked; this is the most likely the reason he keeps finding shovelware to send Vinny.

Cloudcuckoolander: He's been described as a "Meme King", which pretty much sums this up.

Troll: Probably the most infamous one on Vinesauce. However, when he tried to troll by using a Mii he made for Vinny's Tomodachi Life streams, Southbird ended up liking the result, even if Vinny didn't (at least initially).

Vitriolic Best Buds: Reg does things specifically to rile Vinny up, and Vinny tends to mock him in his streams over it.

Weinerless Steve

A Vinesauce affiliate mainly associated with the corruptions he sends to Vinny. Note that these tropes are for the real Weinerless Steve. For tropes related to his Mii in the Tomodachi Collection corruption stream, see the main Vinesauce Tomodachi Life character page. Bile Fascination: invoked Not all of his corruptions are for good games.

Not all of his corruptions are for good games. Body Horror: The picture of Link in his avatar has mouths for eyes and the lower part of his face is replaced with a glitchy mess.

Groin Attack: Weinerless Steve.

Steve. Mythology Gag: His avatar is a picture of Link from a The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time corruption stream.

Troll: Some of his corruptions are hand-picked for the sole purpose of messing with Vinny.

NorixWolfe

A Vinesauce associate who (previously) helped set up Too Many Games panels and occasionally helps moderate chat. He also is a streamer during the VinesauceIsHOPE charity streams. He collaborates with DesertP on occasion and submits occasional corruptions. Author Appeal: Wolves.

Body Horror: Many of the corruptions found by him inflict these on characters; especially The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time corruptions.

Happily Married: Married to RinWolfe.

Unluckily Lucky: Often gets himself into near death situations in games, only to come out fine.

DesertP

A Vinesauce associate who streams during the VinesauceIsHOPE events for charity, and occasionally joins Vinny's online multiplayer streams. Author Appeal: Very open in his love for lizards.

Big "WHAT?!": Much like many of the Vinesauce streamers, this will be his go-to reaction.

Man of a Thousand Voices: If there's a game that has text and has no voice acting, it's 100% certain he'll have a voice of it.

Self-Deprecation: It's a Running Gag, for sure.

"John Fullsauce"

An as-of-yet unidentified individual who's taken to managing the Full Sauce channel after Vappy's departure. Hypercompetent Sidekick: After a rough start with Vinny's Devil May Cry 5 uploads (probably due to transitioning managers at the time), people started noticing "John" uploading stream archives mere hours, if not minutes, after they aired on Twitch. Vinny has also mentioned in passing that they're responsible for other projects outside of Vinesauce, like the graphic design and page layout of the Warcraft III: Refunded website.

website. No Name Given: Nobody on the team has taken to mentioning them by name, so the fans eventually settled for calling them "John Fullsauce", borrowing from one of Vinny's memes in a similar fashion.

Former associates

Captain Southbird

Vappyvap88 (Jonathan Shen)

An uploader of Vinny's streams to YouTube, formerly independently of Vinesauce but eventually tasked with handling Vinny's Full Sauce channel. He stopped being in charge of the Fullsauce channel due to being too busy with real life to record and upload the streams. On April 22, 2020, he sadly died due to cardiac arrest brought about by COVID-19. Department of Redundancy Department: When Southbird was made an affiliate, Vinny mentioned also being affiliated with "Vappy, Vappy, and Vappy" due to Vappy's three channels (his personal channel, Vappyvap Backup, and Vinesauce: The Full Sauce).

The Voiceless: Because his uploads of Vinny's streams are generally unmodified, there was no captions or commentary by him, unlike some of Southbird's uploads.

Tilde (Tidle)

Cr1TiKaL

A YouTube game commentator who's collaborated on various Vinesauce streams. See his TV Tropes page for more details.

Conome

Jerma985

Cloud Cuckoolander: Best exemplified by this appearance on one of Vinny's charity streams, where he quite literally barges into Vinny's house unannounced and explains that he got there via lawnmower after his car broke down. Jeremy: Did I make it!? Did I make it in time for the stream!? Anybody— Hello!? (banging noises)

Vinny: Holy shit... Hang on a second. (away from mic) What are you doing here? How the fuck did you get into my house!? Has another moment when streaming Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes with Joel. Jeremy: ...Why do I have ink on my hands? This [bomb defusal manual] is fresh print.

Joel: You have ink on your hands?

Jeremy: Yeah, and I printed this like, forty minutes ago and there's still ink coming off of it—

Joel: Taste it.

Jeremy: (looks at his hand briefly) Wha— no! Why did I give that one second of thought? Why did I even give that one second of thought?

A Twitch streamer that often gets referenced by Joel's Twitch chat and has made occasional appearances on Vinny's streams. Has his own page here

In-universe Characters

Autopilot (AP)

A relic of days long past, Autopilot was the original Vinesauce channel's way of entertaining fans when streams weren't live: An automatic playlist of Vinesauce highlights and other silly videos. Vanished a long time ago, but is still fondly remembered. Benevolent A.I.: Always seen as friendly, if a little eccentric. Contrast the much newer GPM_ebooks, which is portrayed as bloodthirsty.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Due to the switch from Livestream to Twitch, as well as the streamers splitting into separate channels, AP hasn't been very relevant outside fan references. Several fans have made YouTube replications of its playlist, such as this one .

. Companion Cube: It's just an automatic playlist of videos, but fans grew attached to it all the same.

Cute Machines: In fan art.

Legacy Character: The Twitch chat bots Nightbot and Moobot could be seen as successors to AP, but neither has caught on as much as it did.

Robot Buddy: For the streamers.

Robot Girl: The general fan art portrayal, and the one used in the Vinebooru's "9" counter (as seen here ).

). Sixth Ranger: Was generally seen as a pseudo-streamer when it was around.

TV Head Robot: This was how it was portrayed in the (unfortunately Vaporware at the moment) VineRPG.

BBQ Pit Boy

Leitmotif: A barbecuing expert and Vinewrestle 2018 Champion. Barbecue Shoes , his original YouTube channel's theme song.

Bees McBees

Rev's player character in Kitty Powers' Matchmaker. Both his name and taste in music are strange. Avant-garde Music: He enjoys rocking out to slowed-down dishwasher noises.

Awesome Mc Coolname: His name means "Bees, son of Bees" due to "Mc" meaning "son of" in Gaelic.

Bee Afraid: He's named after bees twice.

Defictionalization: invoked Rev actually did make an album containing his preferred form of music, even using his name to do so.

Grand Dad

Herman

Revs and Tilde pet kitten who they adopted in 2018. He is named after Herman Muntz and is very mischevious.

Hitomi Fujiko

Joel's Dad

Kevin

A child Vinny has made who is meant to poke fun at children who act unchildlike and immature during online games, mainly on Fortnite or Call Of Duty. He tries to pretend he is much older than he looks and talks about taxes to prove he is older, to no avail.

Meat

A weird worm puppet that Vinny ended up finding a picture of before one of his Bloodborne streams. Since then, Meat has appeared in fanart and made some appearances in games. Meat's origin was a mystery for a while, before it was discovered to be an earthworm puppet created for an old MSN commercial. Author Avatar: Using a facecam puppet, Vinny can literally become Meat, and he even comes with Vinny's trademark ? block cap.

Catch Phrase: "Yee-oowww!", delivered by Vinny in a phlegmy, gargling voice.

The Eeyore: Has a constantly depressed look on his face, which Vinny occasionally tries to fix by literally flipping his frown upside-down.

One-Person Birthday Party: After Vinny puts a funny little hat on Meat, he imagines Meat having one of these, with a party blower in his mouth and a sad little cake.

Proto

Quario

Ralph Bluetawn

Scoot

Sponge

Tucker Friendperson

Ms./Mrs. Friendperson/Tucker's Mom

The mother of Vinny's Fan Dumb -parodying character. Vinny sometimes mentions her when he talks about Tucker. My Beloved Smother: Subverted; she seems like a levelheaded individual. She often calls Tucker out when he takes something Vinny says too seriously, particularly if Vinny jokes about doing something potentially dangerous.

Only Sane Woman: She's more levelheaded than a lot of the other characters Vinny has created, if a bit jaded due to her son's behavior.

Smoking Is Not Cool: Tucker thinks Vinny's discontinued smoking habit was cool. She disagrees.

Unnamed Parent: She was never given a name.

The Voice: Vinny never says what she looks like and no standard design has stuck for her, in contrast to how Tucker's Vinesauce Tomodachi Life Mii led to Blankfaece's version of him (the first interpretation of Tucker to be uploaded and the one that inspired his Mii) becoming popular even among other fan artists.
