''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/lore Lore in a Minute!]]'' is a series of animated videos on Website/YouTube, written and narrated by the staff of Creator/{{Polaris}} (most typically [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]], WebVideo/OMFGCata and WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue) with art by various animators starting with [[https://www.youtube.com/user/vghangover DJ Ross]]. They involve a brief explanation about the backstory of a certain video game franchise and as indicative of the title typically take anywhere around a minute.

Recently Lore has added a second series called Fast Facts to the channel. These shorts are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin facts that are said in a rapid manner.]] There is also Checkpoint, which gives a similarly quick summary of a game's story, so naturally there will be spoilers.

Beginning 2015, the show has began telling lores of other media including movies and TV shows. After a brief hiatus in 2016, the show returned with a new logo and theme song.

It also updates thrice weekly, with a game Lore on Mondays, Fast Facts on Wednesday, and either a developer Lore or a Checkpoint on Fridays.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** The ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'', ''VideoGame/SkiFree'' and ''VideoGame/FlappyBird'' lores have nothing to do with the respective games, but speculate on the Villager, the Yeti and Flappy respectively. It paints the Villager as a {{Yandere}} being cheated out by Tom Nook, the Yeti as an exiled Microsoft employee out for revenge, and Flappy as losing sleep and delirious while trying to cope with the nightmarish world around it.
** The Creator/StanLee lore episode does not have the CatchPhrase "Have Fun".
