"C" Characters

  • Adam Calrissian: A fictitious lawyer situated in the Star Wars universe, who bears a striking resemblance to the character portrayed by Billy Dee Williams. His law offices (which can be contacted by dialing 1-888-555-EWOK) specialize in helping Stormtroopers who are injured at work (past clients include TK-516 and TK-431). His motto is "Bleeding money out of the Galactic Empire and taking 18 percent off the top is my job" (NOTE: It is believed that this character is actually different from Adam's other Billy Dee impersonation, Lando Sessler).
First Appearance: Episode No. 20080917
Performed by: Adam Calrissian (Adam Sessler), TK-516 (Unknown), TK-431 (Unknown)
  • Canada Man: see Morgan-San and Adam-San
  • Canadian Girl: During the show's review of the game NHL 12, X-Play decided to "replace" their long-time re-occurring character Canadian Guy (aka Guy LaFleur) and his "brand of dated stereotypes" ... Of course, his replacement turned out to be a woman who dressed and talked exactly like him, right down to the Oui oui oui! catchphrase (no doubt this change was made to highlight the ability for players to make female characters in the game).
First Appearance: Episode No. 20110927
Performed by: X-Play production assistant Emily Conti
  • Canadian Guy: see LaFleur, Guy
  • Captain: see Cobra and Mongoose
  • Car from Street Fighter II: A character cut from the official MvC3 roster, it was "ready to settle the score and deliver own beatdown ... after years of being punched and kicked by a bunch of brain dead thugs." Its argument for being included in the fighting game was that "cars kill more people then guns or stupid hadoukens."
First Appearance: Episode No. 20110216
Performed by: Unknown
  • "Anthony Carmine": see Carmine, Dietrich
  • "Ben Carmine": see Carmine, Dietrich
  • Dietrich Carmine: A non-canonical member of the Carmine family portrayed in the Gears of War series, who is trying to buy a life insurance policy for himself before going off to battle. However, the salesman (Ryan Jeffries) refuses to cover him, listing a long line of other Carmines who came in before him and then were almost immediately killed after signing up (like Sherman Carmine who burned up looking for his car keys in a pool of emulsion). This is in reference to the Gears of War games always having a soldier named "Carmine" die during the storymode campaign. Fittingly, when Dietrich stands up to protest, a bullet whizzes through the nearby window and takes him out with a bloody headshot (NOTE: This sketch premiered at the Gears of War 3 panel at Comic-Con 2010 moderated by Adam Sessler).

  • The Cliff Bleszinski 4.0: It was "revealed" during an X-Play comedy skit that the original game designer was gunned down by a gang of vicious cyberpunks over a decade ago, and that the founders of Epic Games decided to rebuild him as a titanium-based cyborg. The model has gone through a series of upgrades over the years (they were not thrilled with the addition of frosted tips), but the latest version - 4.0 - has been described as "near perfect" (although director of production Rod Fergusson does carry around a "kill switch" because he's afraid of getting his arm ripped off).
First Appearance: Episode No. 20111010
Performed by: Cliff Bleszinski
  • Cobra and Mongoose: Flash-like cartoon characters (purposely animated in a haphazard and seemingly rushed manner) who spoof various action movies like Top Gun, Days of Thunder, and The Hunt for Red October. Cobra is the stereotypical hot-shot renegade, who plays by his own rules (never following the orders of his commanding officer Captain) and is depicted as the pinnacle of manliness (he will often get a different person pregnant during each skit, including Mongoose's girlfriend Susie and a shark). Mongoose is at the other end of the spectrum, the perennial second banana who winds up dying at the end of every segment for "dramatic effect" (leaving Cobra to mournfully yell out "Mongooooose!").
First Appearance: N/A
Performed by: Cobra (voice of Paul Bonanno), Mongoose (voice of Michael Leffler), Captain (Unknown), Susie (Unknown)
  • "Cole Train": A parody of the video-game character Augustus Cole from Gears of War, who stars in a commercial for the breakfast cereal Grains of War.

Performed by: Lester Speight

  • James Cooper: see X-Play COPS
  • The X-Play COPS: A parody of the popular television show, where a pair of police officers interact with a number of video-game characters, including Kratos, Princess Zelda, Mario, and Niko Bellic. There have been several different "cops" portrayed in these skits, from Sargent Rando and Officer Sykes in the 2006 Valentine's Day special, to a pair of unnamed officers in the 2006 Halloween episode, to Sgt. Rando re-appearing with a new partner (Officer Hicks) in a special Liberty City edition of X-Play COPS during the GTA IV special, to Officer James Cooper of the Mushroom Kingdom PD and a new Sykes (this time played by Michael Leffler) appearing during the review of Mario Kart Wii.

  • "Edward Cullen": A parody of the vampire character from the "Twilight" movies, who appeared in the fictitious movie trailer Twilight: Modern Warfare 2. Alongside his werewolf partner "Jacob Black", the two heroes (codenamed Sparkle and Moonbeam respectively) find themselves in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan fighting as squadmates alongside "Soap" and "Roach" from the popular shooter, mainly because "Activision needed to figure out a way to sell Call of Duty to 13-year-old girls and middle-aged women."

However, people find it hard to take them seriously when their "secret lair" is a booth at the local Wendy's.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    The major men
    That is different. They are characters beyond
    Reality, composed thereof. They are
    The fictive man created out of men.
    They are men but artificial men.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.
    Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
