Jon: Oh my goooood.
Chugga: And we let's play while at PAX.
Jon: Oh my goooood!
Chugga: So just sit back and relax, while we overreact, we're runaway-niacs.
So come join the let's play brother and the let's play sister Tim.
Of course we're just kidding and she's really a hi-im (y'knowinthebathroom)
We just like to make jokes, based on a simple whim.
Now there's no truce to what we produce, entertainment on the spot.
We're runaway-niacs, Tim is cute and Chugga yaks, Proton threatens to attack, while Four takes some flack, we're runaway-niacs.
We're runaway-niacs, we have Polaris contracts (Oh my god.), it's time for some snacks, then prep for Jon's wisecracks!
We're runaway-ny, totally insane-y, Chugga's puns are lame-y, runaway-niacs! Those are the facts.

On Tiny Tim Adventures, we're a bunch of oddities!

We run and jump like some big chumps until our lives are none!

Jon: "'CAUSE THIS IS HOW TRG WORKS! WE GET ANGRY, AND WE FOCUS!"

— Tom gets a lesson in how TRG functions when the group performs well in a stage in Overcooked! while Jon and Emile argue

There once were three YouTubers.
They were a bunch of goobers
Who played on their computers,
And they were TRG.
The three were decent bowlers,
And mostly good dice-rollers.
They started Thrown Controllers,
And they were TRG.
The boys are proving capable.
Their wills were quite unbreakable.
Success was inescapable,
And they were TRG.

Ahead they just kept forging,
Canadian and Georgian.
They walked the Streets of Fortune,
'Cause they were TRG.
Controllers did get broke upon
The journey of the Dokapon.
So hard for them to focus on
The game on their TV.
With all this newfound freedom
Cemented as a threesome,
They started Colosseum,
And they were TRG.

They hired a few musicians
That made some fine additions
With all their cool renditions
Of all the OSTs.
There was an infiltrator
Who might have been a traitor.
They called him Lord Dona'tor.
He might be one of us.
I guess that you could say we
Are all a little crazy,
But for the next three days, we
Are gonna rock your world.
