Emile's name, Chuggaaconroy, was originally Chugga A. Conroy when it was created on Cartoon Network.com at 7 years old. The chugga part came from his love of saying the word, whereas the Conroy part was randomly generated. The double "A"s came as the result of a typo, which he eventually kept.

Commentary Style[]
Chuggaaconroy's commentary has a large focus on informative aspects of the games he plays. He has stated this is because he wants his LPs to also be walkthroughs, so his viewers can play along with him. He has a tendency to explain even the most minor parts of a game in full detail.
Chuggaa will often make jokes that are either nonsensical or in poor taste, and will often apologize for them directly after he tells them. He also enjoys telling bad puns in his LPs that almost always stretch the limits of both the phrase and the word he is combining. A large part of Chuggaa's commentary stems from his reactions, often exaggerated, to occurrences in the games he plays. During these, his voice becomes incredibly loud, and it causes viewers to joke that he has made them deaf.
His work also contains references to internet culture and memes. One of his most common catchphrases, the Epic No, is based on Dr. Robotnik's "No" from the Sonic the Hedgehog Animated Series, used commonly in other YouTube videos. Many of his own cathphrases and moments have become popular pseudo-memes, such as Steve and the Waterwraith freak-out.
Influences[]
Chuggaaconroy has stated that like many other people, the first Let's Play he watched was Proton Jon's Kaizo Mario World LP. However, Chuggaa has stated that he no longer watches Jon's videos.
Chuggaa has been listed as an inspiration for many LPers, such as Josh Jepson and AttackingTucans.
