For those of you who don't speak Handy:

Tsukkomi

突っ込み (tsukkomi). From the verb tsukkomu (突っ込む), meaning something like "butt in", this is often the role of the partner to the boke in an owarai kombi. The tsukkomi is generally the smarter and more reasonable of the unit, and will criticize, verbally and physically abuse, and generally rail at the boke for their mistakes and exaggerations. A typical tsukkomi often slaps the boke on the back of the head, an action always accompanied by an intentionally cheesy slapping sound effect. It is common for tsukkomi in manzai to end an act with the phrase, "Let's quit!" (やめさしてもらいますわ!Yamesashite moraimasu wa!). The American equivalent is known as the straight man.

boke

ボケ (boke [boh-keh or boh-kay]). From the verb bokeru 惚ける or 呆ける, which carries the meaning of "senility" or "air headed-ness," and is reflected in this performer's tendency for misinterpretation and forgetfulness. The boke is the "simple-minded" member of an owarai kombi ("tsukkomi and boke", or vice versa) that receives most of the verbal and physical abuse from the "smart" tsukkomi because of the boke's misunderstandings and slip-ups. The tsukkomi (突っ込み) refers to the role the second comedian plays in "butting in" and correcting the boke's errors. It is common for tsukkomi to berate boke and hit them on the head with a swift smack; traditionally, tsukkomi often carried a fan as a multi-purpose prop, one of the uses for which was to hit the boke with. Boke and tsukkomi are loosely equivalent to the roles of "funny man" or "comic" (boke) and "straight man" (tsukkomi) in the comedy duos of western culture. Outside of owarai, boke is sometimes used in common speech as an insult, similar to "idiot" in English, or baka in Japanese.

tl;dr or what can be inferred from my use of the words, tsukkomi=straight-man, boke=idiot/funny-man

Handy is the resident Otaku.

Now since that is out of the way, just take the first part out of mine that's being questioned.

 Huh?
I didn't want to use "resident anime fan" because I'm sure there's more than 1 person on this site that is either a fan of anime or just watches it. So I just wanted to use another term (not you, term). You overreacted to this just like you overreacted to the "low and behold" mistake I made back in February. Could have easily just told me in a nice way that I made a mistake or "no, I prefer to be called this instead of that". But at this point, I don't really care what the correct term is for what it is that you do here.

You're the resident jerk now. Afro

I'm also the resident Wrestling/WWE fan.

I would say I am the resident "lady" here. I think this stems from the fact that I am feminine (but not one of those gamer girls who think "feminine" means you dress trashy and take pictures of games stuck between your teeth or in your cleavage) and discreet. I also don't talk crudely, despite Handy's many prompts. I also spend a lot of time with children, so I'm sure that lends to it.

This is also my role in real life but I am typically around a lot more people like me. I would say that I am usually the one in my group that is making jokes and considered quick-witted but, on this site, there is just too much competition. I stay on this site because of the humor, honestly, and because somehow these guys have become so endearing!

So, I promised that I would do this......

Canadian Guy: I am the token Canadian that people make fun of, but I don't take offense because I'm proud to be a Canadian and being a proud Canadian means you can laugh at yourself and the oddities of your country and culture.

Am I more than that....maybe...but that one is the easiest and most obvious. I've played many roles on this site like most people have....

Funny/Smartass Guy: tried to be funny and make people laugh, but just average at that  Undecided

Resolute Guy: had strong opinions at times and defended them, but you can't win an argument here because of egos and assholes

Defender Guy: tried to stick up for the little guys sometimes, but not enough   Embarrassed Less often these days  Embarrassed

Asshole Guy: made fun of others...probably too much and made people feel badly about themselves  Embarrassed Sorry for that  Embarrassed

Hockey Guy: I like hockey and would talk about it more here, but most people on this site aren't into hockey  Undecided

Karma Guy: I think I have the most karma with the exception of DDD, but in all honesty, my karma is inflated, so being the karma guy isn't real  Undecided

Mediocre Gamer Guy: I've had my moments with MoH and CoD, but I'll never be considered elite and I don't ask for that consideration. I have no problem laughing at my own gameplay and complimenting others on their gameplay.

Crude/Perverted Guy: When I see an opening, I take my shot....some find it funny and some not

Rhymer Guy: I like to rhyme, but don't do it all the time

I'll come back if I think of any others.....

Hockey Guy is one in the same with Canadan. And I'm the crude/perverted guy. I don't think anyone will disagree with me on that.
