Inspector Gadget

Inspector Gadget is the titular character from the 1983 French-Canadian-American cartoon Inspector Gadget and a character in the SiIvaGunner lore. He appeared as a channel host during The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis.

Origins
Inspector Gadget first appeared in the comedy cartoon of the same name that originally aired from 1983 to 1986. In this show, Inspector Gadget is a cyborg detective who wants to destroy MAD, a criminal syndicate run by Dr. Claw. Despite his many machines, Gadget is clueless and his niece Penny and dog Brain are usually doing his work. Gadget had two main catchphrases, "Go Go Gadget!" and "Wowzers!", which are both used on the channel and Twitter.

Theme song
The introduction for the Inspector Gadget series was composed by Shuki Levy under the label Saban Records (Saban Music Group). It may be impossible to know if he's the true composer, as it was discovered 1998 that many of these compositions were ghostwritten by other composers, in order for Levy and Haim Saban to gain control of all publishing rights and music royalty revenue. It was inspired by the classical music song "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from composer Edvard Grieg. In the show, several variations of Inspector Gadget's theme in different styles are used as background music.

As a meme
The character's memetic popularity originates from a video of James Rolfe (a.k.a the Angry Video Game Nerd) and Mike Matei of Cinemassacre reviewing the "DiC's Easy Play" feature on a DVD for the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. This feature consists in a lengthy explanation done by Inspector Gadget (who is otherwise absent in any form from the DVD) aimed to instruct younger audiences on how to operate a DVD player.

Following that video, Inspector Gadget became a running inside joke on Cinemassacre, going into cumbersome and awkward ways to explain simple things.

On May 11, 2012, Matei uploaded a video called "Minecraft with Gadget", which featured Matei and a drawing of Inspector Gadget reviewing the game  Pocket Edition. A lot of the video consists of Inspector Gadget mispronouncing the name Minecraft, as either "Mineycrafta" or "Minecrap", and frequently repeating lines. Some notable lines from the video include:
 * "I'm better than you are, so I should do the review."
 * "You can shut up now. I'm always on duty!"
 * "MineyCrafta!"
 * "Oh, Minecrap! I cannot wait to play Minecrap. Do you know what my favorite thing to do is in Minecrap? I love building bricks with Minecrap. Building bricks with Minecrap is the best thing and the most amount of fun you can have while playing an app. I understand why all the kids are playing this game these days -- it's because they like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. I also like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. It's the most fun you can possibly have. What is the point of Minecrap?"
 * "He's a nerd and I hate nerds more than I hate MAD agents. What an asshole."
 * (after killing Matei with a laser) "Oh, look! A free iPad!"

The video was almost unanimously panned by audiences and subsequently removed from Cinemassacre's YouTube channel and website. Following this, many people began to re-upload the video onto YouTube. Matei noticed this and, believing it was his right to keep it off the Internet, began taking down these re-uploads using YouTube's copyright system. On May 9, 2020, the video was re-uploaded on Cinemassacre Plays, Cinemassacre's second channel.

Rips
The original "Minecraft with Gadget" video is occasionally sampled in high quality rips, like in "Minecraft (OST Version) - Minecraft" and "Bramble Blast (OST Version) - Super Smash Bros. Brawl". The rip "Become as Gods (Birth of a Wish) - NieR: Automata" is dedicated to "Minecraft with Gadget" and was temporarily the featured video on the channel.

The "Inspector Gadget Theme" was also rarely used as a melody change prior to his introduction into the lore, for examples in "Spooktune - Undertale" and "Pause Screen - Banjo-Kazooie".

After assuming control of the channel and Twitter, the Inspector Gadget theme and "Minecraft with Gadget" became frequently used sources.

In The Christmas Comeback Crisis
After The Voice Inside Your Head angered President Haltmann by failing to resurrect his daughter, Haltmann spent days working on a secret project that turned out to be Inspector Gadget. Gadget then trashed The Voice's office in "[AUDIOLOG: 19:27, HEAD_OFFICE ] " and replaced him as the channel's host and on Twitter.

Much like the Cinemassacre version, he enjoys "Miney Crafta" as well as Twitter. He also expressed his distaste of Terraria (which is a 2D game, similar to Minecraft). He also claims that "Penny is here to have [his] back", but its unconfirmed at this point if he is delusional or if Haltmann also built a Mecha Penny; it is also strange for him to say that, as the character is usually unaware of Penny saving him in the original source material.

Inspector Gadget was "terminated" on May 26 in "An announcement from your new leader" at the request of "Mark Timotei" (a reference to Mike Matei and the DMCA claims on reuploads of "Minecraft with Gadget"). After Gadget's termination, President Haltmann became the new channel host and an album was released in Gadget's honor.

In Season 3
On April Fools' Day 2018, Gadget returned to take over the channel again. This Gadget takeover however, was contested by Doug Walker of Nostalgia Critic. The conflict was characterized by motifs of the Nostalgia Critic and AVGN themes in addition to the standard Inspector Gadget rips. The conflict subsided with Nostalgia Critic as the victor, who subsequently uploaded a series of "nostalgia" themed rips featuring classical motifs such as 7 GRAND DAD and Snow Halation. Doug Walker relinquished control of the channel the following week.

Trivia

 * After the termination of Inspector Gadget on the channel, Mike Matei made a post on the Cinemassacre subreddit giving his opinion on, among other things, "Minecraft with Gadget" and the recent use of it in "music-parodies" on the Internet. He said that some of the creations made using the video were pretty well-done, citing the rip "Calm - Minecraft" in particular. He also said that he should not have attempted to take down the video and that the fact that it was still on the Internet didn't matter.
