Nerdy Show is a weekly radio/podcast show initially featuring Triforce Mike, Hex, Cap, and Creator/BrianClevinger (of ''WebComic/EightBitTheater'' and ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' fame). In it, they talk about current news in games, comics, television, movies, science, nerd-core and other nerdy things. While this is going on, pretty much everyone is disgusted by Mike. The cast also hosts a Pen and Paper Game, ''Dungeons & Doritos'', chronicling the crunchy adventures of their [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits characters]] in the land of Doritodonia. Finally, the site also plays host to two other podcasts: Flame On, the all-gay, all-geek podcast, and the Real Congregation with Marc With a C, a weekly journey into one record geek’s music collection.

Recently, Triforce Mike passed away after being in a car accident. Various tribute videos and podcasts are up on the Nerdy Show site.

----
Tropes Relating to the Dungeons and Doritos adventures includes:
!!Dungeons & Doritos Characters
!!!Galdap (played by Cap)
* AbsentMindedProfessor
* CasanovaWannabe: He allegedly has a swinging bachelor pad and a [[Myth/NativeAmericanMythology Thunderbird]], though its doubtful anyone has visited.
* TheChessmaster: Presumably.
* LargeHam: He's played by the same player as Jamela, so it comes with the territory.
* UnreliableNarrator

!!!Jamela Dal-ah Egbert III (played by Cap)
* AlphaBitch: of the VainSorceress variety.
* {{Angrish}}: Jamela has dissolved into frustrated rage a couple of times, often after a [[CriticalFailure string of particularly bad rolls]].
* BishieSparkle: Has this happen on occasion, what with using light magic and having semi-reflective reptilian scales.
* BreathWeapon: As a Dragonborn, she gets one of these of the fiery persuasion.
* CarryABigStick: Jamela's weapon of choice is a mace.
* DistractedByTheShiny: Her quest is to find a pearl necklace and likes all that glitters.
* EvilLaugh: She has her moments. Most notably, after defeating the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot giant lizard evil god thing]] at the end of Fouler Deeds at Cool Ranch.
* HeroicBSOD: Jamela has a couple after certain traumatic events, such as [[spoiler: the complete destruction of pretty much every hope they had at Cool Ranch. Also after Lefty's kidnapping by the Man in Black.]]
* InnerMonologue: Averted. It was established as canon pretty early on that ''everything'' Cap says in Jamela's voice is actually spoken aloud by Jamela. This includes most descriptions of her own actions.
** It turns out that the lack of an internal monologue is a racial trait of the dragonborn, as demonstrated by a group of Jamela's old friends that the party runs into.
* TheLancer
* LargeHam
* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: With Lefty. To the point that Barty was able to make a sizeable profit off of selling a mystical webcam service of their slumber parties.
* LightEmUp: She uses light- and divine-based magic. Her people use their magic to navigate the tunnels where they live.
* NonMammalianMammaries: Averted. Jamela ([[ACupAngst usually]]) takes pride in not having any cumbersome flesh-bags to slow her down.
* OhMyGods: Often refers to Tiamat, the patron goddess of her tribe.
* PetitePride: Fluctuates between this and ACupAngst since NonMammalianMammaries are averted.
* SssssnakeTalk: Also a dragonborn racial trait.

!!!Chair (played by Triforce Mike)
* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: To the everlasting sadness of us all.
* AWizardDidIt: Chair [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin was once a chair]]. Now he's a dwarf.
* BashBrothers: With Barty on a couple of occasions, including the fight with the golems and the beach siege against the orcs.
* BerserkButton: Don't try to put clothes on Chair. Don't try to sit on him, either.
* TheBigGuy
* CarryABigStick: Chair's weapon of choice is a shillelagh. Using said shillelagh is one of the few things he absolutely excels at.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Early in the series, Chair had multiple personalities that would sometimes manifest when he was hit too hard. Although referenced occasionally afterwards, it was dropped after the second or third episode.
* CloudCuckooLander: Since Chair was originally a chair, he has a very different view of the world than the rest of the party.
* FanDisservice: Mike manages to provide this (despite there being no visual aspect of Dungeons & Doritos other than the occasional piece of official artwork) through sheer ability at describing just how filthy Chair is.
* FullFrontalAssault: By virtue of not wearing clothes ever.
* GlassCannon: Since Chair doesn't wear clothing, there is absolutely nothing protecting him from those oncoming weapons. Apart from his dodge skills, of course. At least he's got enough HP to last a while.
* LeeroyJenkins: Chair's approach to most situations.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Chair does not like clothes. Chair '''''[[BerserkButton REALLY]]''''' does not like clothes.
* ToiletHumor: The whole point of Chair.
* UnskilledButStrong
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Chair's "Chare Moed", where he partially reverts back to his original chair form. Switches him from GlassCannon to StoneWall.

!!!Vimak (played by Hex)
* BigFun: Vimak, who is quite loud and jovial... [[BewareTheNiceOnes when nothing's annoying him or threatening his friends, that is]].
* CallingYourAttacks: Oh yes.
* CombatMedic
* ElementalPowers: Actually has access to several:
** BlowYouAway: Vimak's strongest (and hardest to pull off) is his Blessing of the Seven Winds.
** DishingOutDirt: Vimak also has the SoftenEarth spell, which came in quite handy when they had to deal with a bunch of [[{{Golem}} Golems]].
** AnIcePerson: Vimak also has the Wrath of Winter spell.
* FastballSpecial: Does this a few times with Chair with varying levels of success.
* LargeHam: '''I AM VIMAK!'''
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Of a [[HuskyRusskie Russian-esque]] variant.
* MightyGlacier: Vimak, while he has considerable strength and stamina, is the slowest character in the party.
* ShotgunWedding: Vimak's perspective on his "marriage" to Chair. It's a long story.
* TheSmartGuy
* TeamDad: Barty even refers to him as "Dad" during arguments.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Occasionally.

!!!Wolf-Bear (played by Hex or Ruel; depends on the situation)
* BondCreature: to Vimak or vice-versa.
* {{Mix and Match Critter|s}}: Wolf and bear
* SpiritAdvisor: Wolfbear died early in Vimak's life and guides him from the beyond.

!!!Jen'Ifer (played by Brian)
* CatchPhrase: "Eldritch blast."
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: "I wonder how powerful my [[BadPowersBadPeople Eldritch Blast]] would be if I had [[EldritchAbomination that thing]] working for me. ...I mean, working for it."
* DirtyCoward: Jen'Ifer generally prefers to rain hellfire upon his foes from a suitable distance. Usually with a couple of meat shields--I mean friends in the way.
--> "That fellow is entirely too close to your warlock."
* GenderBlenderName: It's a perfectly legitimate name!
* PlayingWithFire: Jen'Ifer uses lots of hellish fire spells. He's not overly cautious about his teammates' safety, however. Or the safety of the surrounding area. Or the concept of fire safety in general.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Oh so much.
* PutOnABus: Jen'Ifer was trapped in a [[CrystalPrison magic gemstone]] for several episodes.
** AndIMustScream: Said gemstone was often being held in Jamela's [[TrouserSpace private pouch]]. When she wasn't fondling it lovingly, that is.

!!!Bartholomew Aelfgar Gleem’n (played by Colin)
* BashBrothers: "I'm really digging Team Barty and Chair right now."
* TheCharmer: with a strong hint of TheCasanova
* ChivalrousPervert: Barty, who, while a generally decent person overall, [[spoiler: set up a web-cam system (involving an actual spider) so the entire Isle of Mages could watch the various [[LesYay hijinks]] that Lefty and Jamela got up to together. And then he uses a mystic camcorder crystal to film said events after they leave the Isle of Mages.]]
* FragileSpeedster: One the fastest and most agile characters, but he's definitely not the sturdiest.
* TheHeart: He tends to either try to cheer up the other characters, or make their [[LovableRogue blood boil]].
* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: During the CurbStompBattle with the giant worm in the Surf-Baiting contest, Vimak, Jamela, and Jen'Ifer blast the worm with awesome spells while Barty... throws a dagger.
* LovableRogue: From his backstory, this can be taken in more than one way.
* ThrowItIn: Normally wouldn't apply since it is a tabletop RPG and everything that the characters do is improv, but at one point Colin jokingly suggested that Barty had supplied the wizards of the Isle of Mages with a webcam service of Jamela and Lefty's slumber parties. Rhul immediately made it cannon.
* TwinkleSmile

!!!Lefty Corney (played by Lefty Lucy)
* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler: She kills him in her first episode.]]
* DualWielding: Sword and dagger style.
* FanService: Because this is in an audio medium, not a visual one, the amount of FanService Lefty can provide is limited. Still, [[http://nerdyshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Miss-Corney-Island.jpg this]] piece of official artwork should give you an idea or two.
* [[HoYay Les Yay]]: With Jamela.
* PirateGirl: Pirate ''princess'' to be precise.
* PunnyName
* MarshmallowHell: Does this to Jamela after Jen'Ifer's disappearance into the crystal. "You can put your head here. I'm told they're quite comforting."
* TheSixthRanger
* TykeBomb - Raised to be her father's enforcer and human shield. [[spoiler: Eventually kills him out of revenge.]]
