1The Ridgearound is a livestream held by Ridgedog of the Yogscast, which started during the 2012 Christmas livestreams. During that time, he streamed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays [[RealLifeWritesThePlot until he stopped due to personal reasons]]. In mid 2014, [[TheBusCameBack the Ridgearound came back to success, and has been going on ever since]].

5Tropes for this show include:
6* BigNo: During the [[AnyoneCanDie Moustache March Hardcore Survival]] campaign, many of the deaths were met by one of these. The biggest "no" came from when [[spoiler:Sejii, one of the chat moderators, died. Ridge gave a BigNo that lasted over ten seconds.]]
7* CurbStompBattle: The first round of the Art to Die For Survival Games ended this way, with Ridge as the victor.
8* DidntSeeThatComing: Happens every now and then.
9** The Spruce Deuce. Quite possibly the bulkiest most unairworthy plane ever made on Kerbal Space Program. What a surprise that once off the ground it became nigh on impossible to crash and could even make perfect water landings.
10** Mac Kerman. His heroic sacrifice in fighting the evil solar panel will forever be remembered.
11** Frog Fractions was full of this.
12* FanDisservice: For Ridge, most of the love scenes from the adventure map [[DatingSim City of Love]] was this.
13** AvertedTrope: Except for [[spoiler:Navi's]] love scene.
14--> ridgedog: I immediately regret this decision.
15--> Ridge: ... Nope. I have fulfilled my Tinkerbell fantasy.
16* GrossOutShow: Pretty much the entirety of his [[VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013 Surgeon Simulator 2013]] for some people. Some specifics are [[spoiler: when Ridge attempted to stab his patient in the ear with a pencil and draping his large intestines over his eyes. All while trying to remove organs with a spoon.]]
17* HoistByHisOwnPetard: During the Cake Defense 2 map with Syncrasis, Ridge managed to shoot ''himself'' with his own overpowered bow. ''Repeatedly.''
18-->Game Text: '''''ridgedog''' walked into fire whilst fighting '''ridgedog'''.''
19* LaserGuidedKarma: In the Cake Defense 2 map, Ridge managed to "accidentally" shoot Syncrasis during one of the rounds, and was '''instantly''' killed by all of the mobs that they had aggroed.
20* [[LiveEpisode Livestreaming]]
21* OurMonstersAreWeird: Cannibal Cow, a creature spawned because of a Ridgearound regular's username, has been turned into the resident NightmareFuel. Another regular and mod, Echeb, even made a VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} mod out of them. [[BringMyBrownPants It's actually much more terrifying than it sounds.]]
22* StuffBlowingUp: And how!
23* ThemeTune: Although technically neither are used to book-end the stream, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jJsYbVBnaE With pleasant companions - Go!Go!Carlito!]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cqCa4IM8w8 Hatsune Miku - Leave In Summer, Yet You're In My Fluffoughts]]'' have been played so often they are considered the stream's unofficial theme songs.
24** Ridge does like to start off the streams with whatever song is stuck in his head at the time though...
25** He's also begun to end stream by playing Pizza Time, although he claims its not his theme song but [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles 'the turtles']].
26* TitleDrop:
27-->Cy: Oh, coming from behind!
28-->Six: [[FreudWasRight Heh heh heh.. I'm sorry, ahem..]]
29-->Ridge: It's okay, we'll give them a Ridgearound!
30-->Six: *Laughs* Aw, that was the perfect use of that!
31* TranquilFury: During a recording session for Modded Madness, [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo Bebop shoots a]] [[OhCrap Nuclear Cluster Missile]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill at a platform Ridge was on.]] [[http://www.twitch.tv/ridgedog/c/4861631 This is the exact reaction from Ridge.]]
32-->Ridge: (in a calm voice) What missile did you shoot?
33* UnusualEuphemism: Ridgedog has two reasons for his stream name - firstly because Lewis/Xephos used to ask if "Ridge was around" if something server-side needed fixing and secondly because it err... almost sounds rude.
34** Truckin' Birches. Nuff said.
35* YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe: Ridgedog's initial reaction to the suggestion of Frog Fractions as a game to try.
36** [[spoiler:Quickly became hilarious when the game turned into a mix of [[ShoutOut game-culture references]] and [[SurrealHumour complete insanity]].]]
