Crippled Ghost

""

Crippled Ghost is one of the longest-running, frequently occurring running gags trolls use on TCR and TGS. After doing a voice comparison during one of his True Capitalist Radio broadcasts during which he facetiously stated that he was in a wheelchair, Ghost was trolled by by various Twitter Names and Radio Graffiti callers claiming that he was crippled. Ghost has since adamantly denied being a cripple, even going as far as to tap dance ('doing folklórico') during his broadcast to prove the trolls wrong. Referring to Ghost as a cripple and/or wheelchair user, or even referencing wheelchairs, has become a reliable way of enraging him despite its frequent repetition, easily driving him to cans.wav.

History
Around Capitalist Episode 254, Ghost used the phrase "I could be a cripple in a wheelchair" describing a hypothetical situation. The following episode, Twitter Shoutouts and Radio Graffiti were plagued with jokes about Ghost being in a wheelchair. In late May 2016, trolls began combining cripple/wheelchair jokes with references to the Vietnam War, often implying that Ghost was paralyzed or lost his legs while fighting there. Splices and Twitter names on this subject, such as "Left Legs In Rice Paddies", are particularly potent rage fodder for Ghost. By late 2016-early 2017, people stopped trolling Ghost on this matter, only infrequently occurring. After the 2017 Break, trolls later began calling him bald and insinuating that he wears dentures (see below).

Following Ghost's debut on YouTube, wheelchair jokes once again became common with trolls routinely bombarding Ghost with various disability-themed TTSs, Media Shares, and $12 buckers. Submitting donations with this theme will usually result in Ghost angrily denying he is in a wheelchair.

Variations
Minor variations/offshoots on the wheelchair gag exist:


 * Bald Ghost - Trolls occasionally call Ghost bald, which he angrily denies.
 * Catheter Ghost - A newer variation seen since The Ghost Show, following several instances of the "Catheter Cowboy" commercial being requested on Media Share. When Ghost announces he needs to "drain the main vein", trolls will occasionally insinuate that urinates using a catheter.
 * Dentures Ghost - Trolls occasionally suggest Ghost wears dentures. Dentures Ghost later resulted in an offshoot gag about Ghost losing his teeth to Meme Magic.
