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.
== Summary ==
=== Origins ===
Inspector Gadget"Inspector Gadget (character)" on Inspector Gadget Wiki 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"Penny" on Inspector Gadget Wiki 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."Shuki Levy" "Biography" subsection. Wikipedia 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."Inspector Gadget (1983 TV series)". "Music" subsection. Wikipedia
=== 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."Super Mario Bros Super Show DVD Menu Screen Review" on Cinemassacre.com
Following that video, Inspector Gadget became a running inside joke on Cinemassacre, going into cumbersome and awkward ways to explain simple things."How to use Cinemassacre.com" on Cinemassacre.com
 On May 11, 2012, Matei uploaded a video called "Minecraft with Gadget","Minecraft with Gadget | Cinemassacre Productions" - Archived on Wayback Machine 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 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."Minecraft with Gadget" Re-upload - YouTubeWhat's the joke behind "brown bricks in minecraft"? - Sleepycabin SubredditAnother "Minecraft with Gadget" re-upload - YouTubeOn May 9, 2020, the video was re-uploaded on Cinemassacre Plays, Cinemassacre's second channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TZcW8wmmo4. Following this, Matei did a Minecraft "Let's Play" with "Inspector Gadget", in 2023. Minecraft with Gadget (Part 1) Mike Matei Live
== Rips ==
Inspector Gadget as a meme on the channel only came to light after the Inspector Gadget Takeover took place on the channel. Later, basically any Inspector Gadget related source was used throughout 2017.
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.
=== 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 took control of the channel and the Twitter account.
Much like the Cinemassacre version, he enjoys "Miney Crafta"@GiIvaSunner on Twitter - May 15, 2017 as well as Twitter.@GiIvaSunner on Twitter - May 15, 2017 He also expressed his distaste of Terraria@GiIvaSunner on Twitter - May 15, 2017 referecing the comparsions to Minecraft. He also claims that "Penny is here to have [his] back",@GiIvaSunner on Twitter - May 15, 2016 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 ===
After the joke lost weight on the channel around the end of 2017 and start of 2018, the channel slowly started uploading more Inspector Gadget themed rips, while the channel was having a "glitchy" theme. Later, it was revealed that Inspector Gadget was taking control of the channel again, this time, fighting against media reviewers leaded by Nostalgia Critic, with the event having YouTube reviewer and Inspector Gadget sources uploaded. The conflict subsided with Nostalgia Critic as the victor, who subsequently uploaded a series of "nostalgia" themed rips, featuring older SiIvaGunner motifs such as 7 GRAND DAD and Chip tha Ripper. Doug Walker relinquished control of the channel the following week, also releasing a album featuring most rips from both events.

== 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.shedding some light - Mike Matei - TheCinemassacre - Reddit
