History LetsPlay / GamingGarbage

''[[http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPoSHO-OOTb0rqZr6bJlMkQ Gaming Garbage]]'' is an LetsPlay-esque show by SomethingAwful founder Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka and Schmorky, in which the two play bottom-of-the-barrel, Z-grade GameMaker games while riffing on them.

--> '''Schmorky''': I wanna play a Mario game!

* SanitySlippage: ''Dontrel the Dolphin'' 2 and 3 have a tendency to cause this in Lowtax and Schmorky. Schmorky goes insane, starting speaking to Dontrel, and eventually [[spoiler: starts peeling the flesh off his leg]] in 2, while Lowtax starts doing a deranged Dontrel impression in 3.

* CatchPhrase: "Trelyate!" became this during and for a while after LP of the game.

* SpecialGuest: Mike Nelson of Podcast/Rifftrax and Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 appears in place of Shmorky for a few games. Also parodied during their playthrough of "Rainbow Wizard," which features Mark Levin (Lowtax) and Robin Williams (Shmorky).

* TheCameo: Former ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' member Mike Nelson sat in on a couple of games.

* {{Keet}}: A common description of Schmorky's voice and demeanor is that of a living cartoon character.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Lowtax likes to do this to a lot of the characters in the games they play. The monster in ''Halls'', for example, is just a real estate agent who can only communicate in screams and circling her customers rapidly. Batman is a KleptomaniacHero who keeps stealing things to add to his giant collection in the Batcave
* AntiClimaxBoss: The "Boss" (read: only enemy) of ''Boss Battle'', who managed to kill himself before Lowtax could do anything.

* DudeNotFunny: The end of the ''Nine-Eleven'' LP has Schmorky [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness get serious]] to proclaim that the entire concept of the game is actually pretty horrible.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Okay, so the "licensed" games they play don't have permission from the copyright holders or anything, but still, none of them are winners.

* SanitySlippage: ''Dontrel the Dolphin'' 2 and 3 have a tendency to cause this in Lowtax and Schmorky.

* FollowTheLeader: Numerous ''{{Minecraft}}'' and ''GrandTheftAuto'' clones end up on the show.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: One terrible ''{{Batman}}'' game features lots and lots of fights with Batman villains with no rhyme or reason, seemingly just so there can be a fight with that particular Batman villain.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: One terrible ''{{Batman}}'' game features stealth segments in which guards can inexplicably only see about a foot in front of them and have to be subdued with special "Stealth Batarangs".

* SensoryAbuse: Intentional or no, it happens with a lot with the games they play.

* KleptomaniacHero: After seeing Batman's strange collection of trophies in his Batcave during a playthrough of a terrible ''Batman'' game, Lowtax starts making jokes about Batman stealing random things from his various cases (including heroin, an entire ferris wheel, and eventually all of Gotham City itself) to display them in the Batcave as well.

* KleptomaniacHero: After seeing Batman's strange collection of trophies in his Batcave during a playthrough of a terrible ''Batman'' game, Lowtax starts making jokes about Batman stealing random things from levels (including an entire ferris wheel, and eventually all of Gotham City itself) to display them in the Batcave as well.

* KleptomaniacHero: After seeing Batman's strange collection of trophies in his Batcave during a playthrough of a terrible ''Batman'' game, Lowtax starts making jokes about Batman stealing random things from levels (including up to an entire ferris wheel) to display them in the Batcave as well.

* SurvivalHorror: A frequent target. Especially ones that require the player to walk around a map and collect papers ala ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}''.

** ''Boss Battle'' was one of the most ObviousBeta-y of them all. There was only one room and a hallway leading to the exit, inside which was the only enemy of the game, who managed to kill himself before Lowtax could do anything.

* JumpScare: Almost a guarantee if they're playing a SurvivalHorror game. They usually only react with either annoyance or amusement. Nightmare Dungeon easily cranked this UpToEleven by including near-constant jump scares, until one was happening every 2-3 seconds and Lowtax was just trying to kill himself as fast as possible so they'd stop.

* RageQuit: Lowtax will typically quit out of most games before completing them, but Smarty Labs is one of the few times where he actually ragequit after legitimately trying to beat it.
* SanitySlippage: Dontrel the Dolphin 2 and 3 have a tendency to cause this in Lowtax and Schmorky.
