History WebVideo / SourceFed

--> '''Trisha''': You don't mess with someone's laptop, that's punishable by death!

--> '''Matt (Reading a tweet)''': I'd rather have Elliott on his bad day than you.

* CloudCuckoolander: Lee, Joe and Steve tend to do this most often.
* CorruptTheCutie: Pretty much the entire dynamic between Steve and Will.
* CovertPervert: This ''was'' Reina, until Zaragoza took over from Joe as head writer. Then [[FromBadToWorse the "covert" went away.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Elliott tends to stay in this mode the most, with Lee being this when not Cloudcuckoolander.

* FormerlyFat: Steve.

* {{Goth}}: Lee and Elliott dress as them in honor of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ceh9yDcycjY&feature=BFa&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA World Goth Day]].
* GamerChick: Meg, Trisha, and Reina.

* HappilyMarried: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]]. Lee married herself, with Phil acting as the mayor representing the state of the Internet in "The Self Marriage Trend" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWu5iKgopJI&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA video]].

* KillItWithFire: Lee's reaction to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXAIS2anY5Y&feature=BFa&list=PL83DB5F40B743A518 killer spiders story]].

** Most of the women save Trisha, but Lee and Chloe run away with the trophy, with Bree a close third.

* MusicalEpisode: Kind of. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGw_PxKjS0 Behold!]] Featuring WebVideo/LaciGreen.

* NewMeat: In "{{VidCon}} Q&A With [=SourceFed=]!" they are asked who they would eat first if they were stranded on an island. Joe mentions that Ross is the new guy and that they aren't as emotionally attached to him.

* PrimalFear: Spiders story. 'nuff said.

* ShirtlessScene: Joe, in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1UA4vt36x0&feature=BFa&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA "Woman goes TOPLESS in NYC"]] video.

--> '''Matt''': #Weinadebunked

--> '''Joe''': Ok, so this trailer ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSYBpePPIqc&feature=bf_prev&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA 1:45]]) is gonna results in way too many "arrow to the knee" comments.
--> '''Lee''': Arrow to the knee!
** Guess who makes a quick cameo during the "Black Hole Ejected From Galaxy!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Somx7CBK6Y&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA&index=20 video]] ? [[VideoGame/{{Portal 2}} The Space Core]].

* [[UglyGuyHotWife Ugly Guy, Hot Girlfriend]]: Both of the Steves. While both of them are more weird than unattractive (Zaragoza especially so), Zaragoza and Bree are a couple, and Suptic's girlfriend Alyssa is also jaw-droppingly beautiful.

* UpperClassTwit: Elliott plays one in his new segment "The Study."

* {{Bishounen}}: Sam Bashor is a very, very pretty man. (This could also apply to Will and Elliot.)

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: So, so true. Lee is a huge fan of dinosaurs, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkPuIrHFzjo&feature=BFa&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA she even owns a dinosaur plush at the office (2:36 and more)!]] Aaaaaaaaawwwwwwww.
** Though the boys may disagree, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDWb2c5USXs&feature=BFa&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA as shown in Space Dinos, Easter Gren-eggs, & Birthday Time! it's Comment Commentary 12! (starting at 6:33)]]
*** Actually, Elliott went as far as to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UbHKjXHDFI&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA hide Dino Yuki Staff]] (2:30) from Lee.
** Exaggerated during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9DCzk72DvQ&feature=bf_prev&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA CISPA: A Prehistoric Bill]] video: DINOFED!

* RewatchBonus: In Most Anticipated Games on #TableTalk there's a blink in you'll miss it moment where Steve is tilting his chair back and almost falls. What really sells it is his mini freak out as he balances himself followed by doing a double finger guns at the camera as an A-OK.

** Maude's slightly unseemly obsession with StarWars has powered many jokes.

* WorldOfPun: in "Bees, Time Travel, and 25 Years To Live on #TableTalk!" Steve, Ross, and Trisha go on an unbeelivable bee pun rant.

** UpToEleven during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9DCzk72DvQ&feature=bf_prev&list=UU_gE-kg7JvuwCNlbZ1-shlA CISPA: A Prehistoric Bill]] video: DINOFED!

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/SourceFed/videos SourceFed]] was a {{spinoff}}, of sorts, of ''WebVideo/ThePhilipDeFrancoShow'' that [=DeFranco=] launched in 2012 as part of Website/YouTube's content initiative and was cancelled in 2017. The channel ran regular shows Monday-Thursday, featuring five stories a day and 4 minutes max per video, and on Fridays they did "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Comment Commentary]]". Weekends originally featured movie reviews and Movie Club, as well as HilariousOuttakes, behind-the-scenes videos, one on ones, and game competitions.

* YouHaveToHaveJews: "The Offices of Lieberman and Rosenberg". Also, the out-of-office video for Christmas 2013 opened with about two minutes of Ross nonchalantly [[PekingDuckChristmas eating Chinese takeout.]] Somewhat averted with Bree, who is Jewish (her last name, Essrig, is Yiddish for citron, a lemon-like fruit used in the Sukkot ceremony), but rarely if ever mentions it.

* BadassBeard: Steve and Joe (when he lets his grow) has one.
* BadassMoustache: Joe (when he lets his grow, again).

* {{Adorkable}}: All of them show adorkable tendencies. Considering that Phillip [=DeFranco=] is also called adorkable, it may be a running thing throughout his company.
** "Feelin' Good With Joe Bereta" really emphasizes Joe's {{Adorkable}} side.
** "Obvious-Lee News" is often the same thing for Lee.
** Maude combines Adorkable and StatuesqueStunner.

** Meg will usually join in with the guys when they say a female person is sexy.[[note]]which makes sense since Meg is [[{{Bi the way}} Bi]][[/note]]

* BiTheWay: Meg, who casually revealed that she liked girls when she asked her heterosexual panelmates if it would be weird for them to have sex with clones of themselves. Bree is also openly bisexual and her jokes about crushes and hookups are pretty indiscriminate as to the genders involved. Neither Reina nor Steven Suptic have publicly come out as bi, but Reina has a... [[TransparentCloset slightly over-the-top fondness for naked anime girls]], and Suptic's personal channel frequently features fanfiction about him and his friends; these are almost always slashfic, except for the two times Reina was in them.

Weekends originally featured movie reviews and Movie Club, as well as HilariousOuttakes, behind-the-scenes videos, one on ones, and game competitions.

* TheCameo: Anytime there is a guest YouTube star on a [=TableTalk=] or [=SourcefedPlays=].

* GallowsHumor: Bree, in spades; her ThePollyanna-cum-StepfordSmiler portrayal of [[Series/GameOfThrones Sansa Stark]] as a YouTube vlogger (leading to her being verbally abused by Joffrey (Sam), grossed out by The Hound (crew member Owen), and literally vomited on by blackout-drunk Cersei (Chloe)) is made of this from beginning to end. Will and Steven Suptic to a lesser extent, although in Suptic's case it blends over into RefugeInAudacity. And at least half of Nuclear Family's output includes this, especially the Russian Roulette, heroin, and murder evidence unboxing sketches, as well as the characters who show up in the closing credits.

On May 4th, 2017, [=SourceFedNERD=] was rebranded as [=NowThis=] Nerd without any prior knowledge and against the wishes of the former SF hosts, some of whom were publicly outspoken against the rebranding. The SF audience was particularly non-receptive to the change, swarming post-rebranding videos with dislikes and unsubscribing ''en masse'', and eventually [=NowThis=] Nerd was moved to its own channel while it was decided that [=SourceFedNERD=] would exist as an archive for all of the channel's videos.

The channel had a notable [[RevolvingDoorBand Revolving-Door Cast]] of members that grew from its original lineup[[note]][[Creator/BaratsAndBereta Joe Bereta]], Elliot Morgan, Steve Zaragoza, Lee Newton, Trisha Hershberger, Meg Turney[[/note]], most of which have their own personal channels as well:

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1D_vL2emBg On March 20th, 2017]], it was announced that SourceFed (along with [=SourceFedNERD=] & People Be Like) was going to get cancelled by the end of the week, and the channel officially ended [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grwEevizUaU&t=21602s four days later]] with a six-hour livestream.

** Reina is the shortest SourceFed host pretty much ever, and is frequently mocked for it. The video [[https://youtu.be/NjI5iFf-pPo What Can Reina Reach?]] is entirely about making her reach for high up stuff.

** Posters of the SourceFed girls for sale on the [[http://www.forhumanpeoples.com For Human Peoples]] website are designed entirely for Fanservice reasons.

* NewMeat: In "{{VidCon}} Q&A With SourceFed!" they are asked who they would eat first if they were stranded on an island. Joe mentions that Ross is the new guy and that they aren't as emotionally attached to him.

* MusicalEpisode: Kind of. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGw_PxKjS0 Behold!]] Featuring LaciGreen.

* CreatorBreakdown: A mild case of this, triggered by the cancellation of SPF, was why Reina ultimately left for Crunchyroll.

* FakeAmerican: Maude's Valley Girl accent in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ABvSwsuexw this Mad Max: Fury Road]] parody is dead on. (The joke being that both the movie's setting and Maude are Australian.)

[=SourceFed=] is a {{spinoff}}, of sorts, of ''WebVideo/ThePhilipDeFrancoShow'' that [=DeFranco=] launched in 2012 as part of YouTube's content initiative. The channel runs regular shows Monday-Thursday, featuing five stories a day, 4 minute max per video. On Fridays they do "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Comment Commentary]]". Weekends originally featured movie reviews and Movie Club, as well as HilariousOuttakes, behind-the-scenes videos, one on ones, and game competitions.

The channel started with [=DeFranco=], [[Creator/BaratsAndBereta Joe Bereta]], Lee Newton and Elliott Morgan as the first commentators, and Kevin Brueck hosted "Curb Cash" on Saturdays. A couple weeks in [=DeFranco=] left, since the channel was intended to be separate of him, and let the others run the show. "Curb Cash" was eventually pulled due to low popularity, leaving the three commentators as the only members on the show. Steve Zaragoza, Trisha Hershberger, and Meg Turney would fill in when other members were gone for the main show, but as they were not employees of [=DeFranco=], they were not permanent fixtures on the commentaries. All three joined the show in short succession as official members in Fall 2012, and now all six rotate for presenting news and hosting weekend content. They all appear on the commentaries unless they're gone. They also run as a non-acting ProductionPosse for [=DeFranco=], joining him for [=VidCon=] and the Presidential debates, and he occasionally appears on weekend shows. For a span of time in 2013, Ross Everett joined the ranks of the hosts. In April 2014, Elliott and Meg[[labelnote:*]]Who moved back to her home state of Texas to work with Creator/RoosterTeeth and her boyfriend Gavin Free[[/labelnote]] both departed from [=SourceFed=], and three new hosts joined [=SourceFed=] Reina, Will, and Matt. While Ross went back to just writing the stories. Later on it was revealed that Ross also left [=SourceFed=] to pursue his own career. On Comment Commentary 150 Joe Bereta revealed that he will be leaving Sourcefed for a new job; his final day was December 31st 2014, and he was replaced by "Drawing Board" host Sam Bashor. Trisha Hershberger announced her departure in March 2015, to be replaced by Bree Essrig from The Young Turks. Lee's departure around the same time brought in three part-timers (actress Whitney Moore, comedian Mike Falzone, cosplayer/comedian Chloe Dykstra) and permanent cast member Maude Garrett. Elliott returned in September 2015 with once-a-week series "The Study", playing a twisted and rather nasty UpperClassTwit version of himself. Falzone became a permanent host in February 2016. Steven Suptic left in early 2016 when SPF was canceled (amid a frustrating flurry of NDAs that left fans very confused), then returned in September to the main channel. Steve Zaragoza went to part time in June, focusing mainly on Nuclear Family thereafter, while Maude Garrett left in August to be replaced by frequent fill-in host Whitney Moore. After SPF was canceled, Reina moved to Sourcefed Nerd for a while, before finally departing to Crunchyroll; she was replaced by Filup Molina.

Off-camera [=DeFranco=] employees DJ Wooldridge and Dani Rosenberg have also made semi-regular appearances onscreen, as have a number of friends of the show like Sara Fletcher, Nikki Philippi, and Jessica Nigri.

The current roster as of September 2016:

* Steve Zaragoza (also the creative director)
* William Haynes (hosts the "People Be Like" and "Politics Be Like" segments)
* Reina Scully (mainly on Super Panic Frenzy with occasional bits on [=SFNerd=])
* Matt Lieberman (co-producer of the Nuclear Family sketch comedy channel; also occasionally does an advice show on his personal channel)
* Sam Bashor (does pretty much everything, and host of the "Drawing Board" show for T-shirt designers)
* Bree Essrig (mostly focuses on news and sketch comedy; does an epic "[[GameOfThrones Sansa Stark]]-as-a-[=YouTuber=] impression; also one of the coproducers of Nuclear Family)
* Candace Carrizales (mainly Sourcefed; her comedy seems heavily Aubrey Plaza-inspired)
* Whitney Moore ([[Film/{{Birdemic}} actress]] and comedian, former host at Creator/GeekAndSundry, SourcefedNerd)
* Mike Falzone (Discovery Digital veteran, occasional news, TableTalk, podcast)
* Yessica Hernandez-Cruz: Sketch comedian and Buzzfeed Motion Pictures alum. Joined Will's People Be Like channel in June 2016.
* Ava Gordy ([=YouTuber=])
* Steven Suptic (formerly Super Panic Frenzy, returned to do news stories on the main channel)
* Filup Molina (formerly of New Rockstars; replaced Reina on SFN)

Occasional visitors:

* A number of DDN LA staffers make semi-regular appearances onscreen (especially Table Talk and Nuclear Family), including DJ Wooldridge (camera and one of the hosts of Superhero Roundup), Starline Hodge (the office's graphic designer and creator of {{Webcomic/Candi}}), Kristi Petherbridge (merch manager), Sophia Rocha (preproduction), JD Waldvogel (social media), Jeremy Azevedo (executive producer), and Dani Rosenberg.
* Chloe Dykstra (cosplayer and sketch comedian; mainly on [=SFNerd=]; also of TheNerdist)
* Alison Raskin and Gaby Dunn of the "Just Between Us" [=YouTube=] channel: Gaby and Lieberman were friends at Emerson College in Boston and they've collaborated on a number of Nuclear Family sketches.
