* '''''WebVideo/MisterPlinkettReviews''''': Mike performs in voiceover as Harry S. Plinkett, who painstakingly reviews terrible films and sub-par offerings of beloved franchises. The character of Mr. Plinkett is a cantankerous old man prone to mumbling, mispronouncing words, and getting sidetracked on unrelated tangents. His reviews are heavily sprinkled with increasingly overt insinuations that he is a SerialKiller who murdered his own wife and regularly kidnaps other women. The videos are notable for their length, often extending beyond an hour. [=RedLetterMedia=] earned mainstream acclaim with the Mr. Plinkett review of ''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'', and to this day, it remains their most popular and celebrated offering.
* '''''WebVideo/HalfInTheBag''''': A traditional movie-review series featuring Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman discussing new theatrical releases. While the show maintains a loose FramingDevice of the two being VCR repairmen working for Mr. Plinkett (played here by Rich Evans), the bulk of each episode is a ''Series/SiskelAndEbert''-style conversation about one or two movies.

* '''''Red Letter Media Talk About....''''': Like ''re:View'', this is a stripped down discussion series without any gimmick or conceit beyond two people discussing movies. However, as implied by its blunt title and the fact that it's filmed on couches in the [=RLM=] break room, it's intended for quickie, impromptu discussions and recommendations that don't require a full-blown episode.

* ''Film/DocOfTheDead'', a documentary done with Exhibit A pictures and distributed through Epix. They filmed a lengthy story line featuring Mr. Plinkett fighting zombies, but only two brief sequences made it into the film.

** Best of the Worst was put on hiatus, with no new episodes released after 7th March.

* AntiHumor: The channel loves anti-humor. Groan-inducing jokes, [[DontExplainTheJoke which often get immediately explained]], are very common, in addition to [[BadBadActing stilted acting]], [[StylisticSuck shoddy production values]], deliberately hackneyed plots, and [[MoodWhiplash alarming shifts in tone]]. It's all so horribly unfunny that it's hilarious. ''The Grabowskis'' is essentially one long exercise in parodying the sitcom format with antihumor.

* '''''WebVideo/PreviouslyRecorded:''''' A since-concluded video game retrospective[=/=]review show hosted by Jack Packard and Rich Evans. In addition, they also have a lengthy playlist of livestreams available.

* '''''WebVideo/HalfInTheBag''''', a traditional movie-review series featuring Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman discussing new theatrical releases. While the show maintains a loose FramingDevice of the two being VCR repairmen working for Mr. Plinkett (played here by Rich Evans), the bulk of each episode is a ''Series/SiskelAndEbert''-style conversation about one or two movies.
* '''''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst''''', in which various members of the [=RLM=] team watch a marathon of three B-movies from their ''massive'' collection and host a roundtable discussion to determine the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Best of the Worst."]] After a few episodes, the gang introduced the tradition of also naming the "Worst of the Worst" and destroying the physical copy in some inventive new way.

* '''''[[WebVideo/{{reView}} re:View]]''''': While ''Half in the Bag'' focuses on reviewing new films, ''re:View'' is a stripped-down, generalized review show with no framing device and no set criteria beyond whatever film or show two people want to discuss. It could be an 80s cult classic, it could be a weird art film, it could be Mike's hopeful pitch for a new Picard-led ''Star Trek'' series, or it could be Mike and Rich bitterly mocking the actual Picard-led ''Star Trek'' series for being a steaming pile. You never know what you're gonna get with ''re:View''!
* '''''The Nerd Crew''''': A parody of geek culture podcasts and [=YouTube=] shows, in which Mike Stoklasa, Jay Bauman and Rich Evans play hosts who obsess over and shamelessly shill major corporate franchises, savagely mocking actual geek-centric podcast dialog and behavior. The segments usually air before major ''Star Wars'' events.

* {{Malaproper}}: Rich occasionally stumbles over his speech or mispronounces words, such as saying he's "ambivalous" instead of "ambivalent." The rest of the gang is quick to mock him about it, and occasionally text will display the guessed-at spelling of whatever it sounds like he just said.

* TheTeetotaler: While the hosts of most shows drink pretty heavily during filming, Rich Evans does not drink at all and usually sips on water or Diet Coke. This is never drawn attention to and sometimes cleverly obfuscated. During the ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' episode of ''Half in the Bag'', the three hosts supposedly down a shot of Crystal Skull Vodka, but an edit skips over the part where Mike hands out the shots he's poured, suggesting that the shot Rich actually drinks was probably just water.

** Jay's "[[OhCrap Oh,]] ''[[OhCrap no]]''!". Mike occassionally uses it, drawing it out more.

* WorldOfSnark: The ethos of most of [=RLM=]'s shows, as they're famous for said brand of humor. Mike Stoklasa on his own has enough sarcasm in him to cut through solid concrete.

* ButtMonkey: If something embarrassing, humiliating, or degrading could happen to anyone, nine times out of ten that anyone will be Rich Evans.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The CoVid 19 pandemic forced some [[{{Retool}} retooling]] of the franchise, as well as being a subtopic of [[RippedFromTheHeadlines much of the commentary]].
** Half in the Bag had Mike and Jay sitting six feet apart surrounded by hoarded toilet paper. They looked [[UpToEleven even more]] dishevelled and deranged than usual. They also had to resort to discussing Netflix releases and small independent films as obviously cinemas were closed and the bigger premieres were postponed.

** Best of the Worst was put on hiatus, with no new episodes released at after 7th March.

** Rich is also known for saying "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS]]".

* DontExplainTheJoke: In season 5 of ''The Grabowskis'', WebVideo/ChadVader arrives to deliver groceries, causing the LaughTrack to go crazy. The husband wonders why, so the wife explains that Darth Vader is a dark and serious character, so putting him into innocuous situations like delivering groceries is funny.

* OverlyLongGag: Used in a number of videos. One such example is in ''The Grabowskis'' season 5, in which the couple does nothing but cry about a tragic accident for several minutes.
