The video-game review television program ''X-Play'' has had numerous recurring sketch characters that have appeared throughout the show's history; during a preview for the game ''WWE Day of Reckoning 2'' ((Episode No. 5093 )), co-hosts Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb were left pondering, "Just how many random-ass supporting characters do we have on this show?". They were able to come up with a sizable list before the commercial break (30 humans, two hand puppets, and one monkey), but here is a more complete breakdown: ==A== * ''Adam 2.0'': A "younger, hipper" version of Adam (actually played by his younger brother Jonathan) cloned in his image as a contingency plan should anything happen to Adam and comes with a few modest improvements (he claims that he comes equipped with a "special USB port"). :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 163 ) :''Performed by'': Jonathan Sessler * ''Adam-San'': ''see Morgan-San and Adam-San'' * ''Adam V'': A robot named after Adam (a parody of the name ''Number Five'' from the movie ''Short Circuit'') who murdered most of the ''X-Play'' staff, until Morgan stopped his rampage by teaching him about sacrifices in the name of love. The two (supposedly) fall in love and go on to have a cyborg baby together, but during ''X-Play's'' April 23, 2006 marathon, we find out that Adam V has repeatedly tried (unsuccessfully) to get back in touch with Morgan, who actually has no romantic interest in him. In fact, Morgan goes so far as to break the fourth wall on Adam V, and she informs him that their entire love story was fake, an act for the show, and that she never had his baby (it was a prop assembled from "a Cabbage Patch doll and fax machine parts"). Following this revelation, Sessler offers to set Adam V up on a blind date with a Roomba; the robot accepts, and Sessler subsequently rips out Adam V's wiring, which kills him. :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 5097 ) :''Performed by'': ''X-Play'' co-producer Jason Cheung * ''Æon Flux Morgan'': Morgan dressed up as the character Æon Flux. :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 6008 ) :''Performed by'': Morgan Webb * ''Ahnuld'': ''see Governatuh'' * ''Ahrnold'': ''see Governatuh'' * ''Albert the Happy Intern'': ''see Interns'' * ''"Alliance Shopping Network" co-hosts'': A dual parody of the ''Star Wars'' films and the ''Home Shopping Network'', this skit features the characters ''Tom Peterson'' and ''Bill Tanner'', who are overstocked with lightsabers and need to pass them on to the consumers at low low prices. Unfortunately for Bill, while demonstrating a Mace Windu replica purple lightsaber ("Just because it's purple doesn't mean you're gay!") Tom accidentally cuts off Bill's right hand, and soon Bill dies in Tom's arms. While he is mourning the loss of Bill, Tom is still able to carry on with presenting the show. :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 6038 ) :''Performed by'': Tom (Mike Benson), Bill (Paul Bonanno) * ''"Altaïr"'': ''see Stark, Mario'' * ''"Mr. Altair"'': A parody of the main character from the game ''Assassin's Creed'', wherein he is portrayed as the instructor of an adult education class called ''Assassination 101: Death by Killing''. He insults one student for revealing the only reason he joined the class was to kill Altair for revenge, claims that Brutus shouted "Looks like your salad's tossed!" when killing Julius Caesar, and hits on the female students. :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 20080214 ) :''Performed by'': Mr. Altair (Unknown), Gary (Unknown), Skip () (Unknown), Rebecca (Unknown) * ''"Alternate X" Adam and Morgan'': A version of Adam and Morgan from an alternate universe where (according to "Earth Prime" Morgan) "''X-Play'' turned out ... lame"; instead of being completely cynical and filled with hate, "Alternate X" Adam and Morgan love their fans and do everything they can to make their world a better place (their version of ''X-Play'' even won a ''Peabody Award''). It should also be noted that "Alternate X" Adam has long flowing hair, while "Alternate X" Morgan dresses like a soccer mom. :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 7046 ) :''Performed by'': Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb * ''America Man'': A superhero-esque character dressed in a stars-and-stripes sweatsuit and sunglasses. America Man's mission in life it to rid the country of intolerance, and to convince people that they should not question things that they see on TV; he tries to accomplish this task with bizarre public service announcements called ''The Less You Know'', an obvious parody of NBC's famous segment, ''The More You Know'' (NOTE: In a posting on Television Without Pity, ''X-Play'' segment producer Matt Keil stated that the end graphic of the ''Less You Know'' skits - which featured pictures of children and a horse - used photos that were taken from an archive of missing children pictures, adding an element of dark humor to the segment). :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 6017 ) :''Performed by'': Adam Sessler * ''Angry Bird of Winterfell'': ''see Stark, Mario'' * ''Angry Gentleman'': ''see Morgan-San and Adam-San'' * ''Anime Adam and Morgan'': At one point in the show's history, the opening sequence was designed by BUCK Design (out of Los Angeles), and featured co-hosts Adam and Morgan re-imagined as anime-style video game characters. As the opening credits progressed, the two were portrayed performing various action sequences, including the destruction of a group of monsters via kung fu and swordplay, flying a pair of fighter jets, and a tense shootout reminiscent of ''GoldenEye 007'' (NOTE: During the "character select" portion of the opening, you could see Adam and Morgan's names highlighted along with ''Ratty'' and the non-represented characters "Griffin", "Henri", and "Pandora"). :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 6055 ) :''Performed by'': None * ''Annie'': ''see Daniels, Melanie'' * ''"Aphrodite"'': ''see "Kratos"'' * ''"Aquaman"'': ''see Memory Card'' * ''"Samus Aran"'': ''see "Mother Brain"'' * ''Ashley'': ''see Spectre Mifflin staff'' * ''M. Asked'': The official "create-a-wrestler" character design used by ''X-Play'' during their review of ''WWE '12'', a male wrestler with blue skin, pencil-thin arms, and a lucha mask. :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 20111206 ) :''Performed by'': N/A * ''Assault Panda'': ''see Morgan-San and Adam-San'' * ''The Athlete'': ''see "The Breakfast Club"'' * ''Automatic Review Robot 3000'': Whenever Adam or Morgan don't feel like reviewing a game themselves, they alway have this robot (in reality an edited picture of a QRIO with the voice provided by a PlainTalk synthesizer) to fall back on ... they just feed in the relevant data, and out pops a generic review for the audience's viewing pleasure. ARR-3000 first appeared when Adam could not stand to review yet another Mega Man game; in later reviews, we have been introduced to his ex-girlfriend ''Sharon'', their illegitimate son ''Child-Bot 3000'', and Sharon's new live-in boyfriend ''Leroy''. :''First Appearance'': (Episode No. 6079 ) :''Performed by'': Unknown 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of X-Play characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
