** Increasingly averted. They have their own studio space, construct dedicated sets, and are able to hire consultants to build costumes, choreograph their fight scenes, and design visual effects. Their Patreon page has helped with that - they receive over $9,000 per month (or over $100,000 per year) in donations now, making them one of the most successful creators on that site.

* ThrowItIn: Occasionally {{invoked}} in ''Half in the Bag'' and ''Best of the Worst'', such as in Episode 45 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Zi7_r80uwn8#t=1971s when Mike suddenly bursts out laughing]] and in "Wheel of the Worst #3", where a take of Mike sneezing was left in.

to:

* ThrowItIn: Occasionally {{invoked}} TheOtherDarrin: Sorta. The Plinkett character originated in a couple of short films, where he was portrayed by Rich Evans. Mike Stokasa, the main writer of those shorts, decided to use the character for the reviews, and performed the voice himself. Evans portrays the character in a full-length movie that came out well after the reviews started, but was produced earlier. Unlike other examples of this trope, the two versions of Plinkett are not in canon with each other, and it's possible that Evans will continue to portray the character in the future.
** The line between the two different Plinketts (described by Stoklasa as "Plinkett A" and "Plinkett B") was blurred in "The Revenge of Nadine" short and the ''Half in the Bag'' series. In them, Plinkett (as played by Evans) is the same Plinkett that made the ''Star Wars'' reviews and became an internet sensation (and who was, of course, voiced by Stoklasa); essentially they seem to have become a kind of TheOtherDarrin tag team; this was [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in a ''Half in the Bag'' intro which has Plinkett shouting "I don't even know who I am anymore!!!" at the top of his lungs.
** The teaser trailer for the ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' review seems to establish the two Plinketts as two different people who just happen to be very similar to one another, [[NegativeContinuity even though this blatantly contradicts "The Revenge Of Nadine"]]. This may be because of VillainDecay on the part of Evans!Plinkett, given his portrayal
in ''Half in the Bag'' as docile and ''Best incredibly senile. The [[BackFromTheDead mysteriously revived Palpatine]], an established StrawFan, naturally refers to Evans!Plinkett as "Fake Plinkett" and Stoklasa!Plinkett as "the ''real'' Lord Plinkett", and at the end of the Worst'', such as teaser, [[spoiler: attacks "Fake Plinkett" with Force lightning in an attempt to kill him]].
*** {{Lampshaded}} in the ''Half in the Bag'' review of ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', where Mike is forced to do an impression of Mr. Plinkett. Jay tells him that's the ''worst'' Plinkett impression he'd ever heard, and no one would believe it's the real Plinkett.

The "core" posse seems to be Mike, Jay, Rich Evans, and Jocelyn Ridgely, along with other, less well-known behind-the-scenes folks.
* PromotedFanboy: A fan who created a number of animations about Plinkett (using sound collage from various sources for the voice work) was officially invited to create further episodes under the Red Letter Media banner, complete with newly-recorded Plinkett dialogue specifically for the cartoons.
