Old Shame is In-Universe Only


** Creeper Soccer is this for Geoff and Gavin. Due to a design flaw (the floor and the dispensers kept being destroyed by the Creepers' explosions), the Let's Play became basically unplayable.
** The ''Let's Play Magic: The Gathering'' video as mentioned above.
** "YOLO" as one of Ray's catchphrases. Ray himself has not said it in a long time and has sworn that he will not say it again as it is something he now regrets saying so often.
** Their "Let's Play ''VideoGame/SevenDaysToDie'' Part 3" video has Ryan go deep into his previous employments, which included being ''a model'' where he ''dressed up like a gnome and stood on a mushroom''. He doesn't like to talk about it, both because it's apparently embarrassing and also that he wasn't very good at it.
*** [[http://rebloggy.com/post/rooster-teeth-achievement-hunter-ryan-haywood-man-he-s-handsome/84645470919 In the very same video he said he used to be a cute kid. Here is a photo of him back in high school.]]
** At the RTX 2014 panel, several of the AH members (particularly Lindsay, Michael, and Ryan) expressed distaste for the near-two-hour Let's Play of ''VideoGame/{{Fuel}}''.
** Ray is ''not'' proud of his year-long stint as [[TookALevelInJerkass Angry Ray]], and apologized profusely for it at RTX 2016, explicitly [[IHatePastMe admitting that he was an asshole]] and that he shouldn't have lashed out at his coworkers as he did.
** Jack personally regrets his attitude in the early episodes of ''Let's Play Minecraft'' citing his genuine dislike of Gavin and his jealousy of his BreakoutCharacter status among the fans as for why he acted the way he did.
** Ryan has gone on record stating how much he dislikes the (in)famous [[VideoGame/{{Destiny2}} Leviathan Raid]] video, admitting that he had acted out of line and that the whole situation was genuinely uncomfortable for everyone involved.
** While he's never outright said it, Michael's reactions whenever anyone brings up his old ''Rage Quit'' videos makes it clear that they make him uncomfortable now.
** After October 2020, pretty much ''any'' content with Ryan in has become this for the rest of Achievement Hunter in the wake of his scandal.

** According to Ray, he was never a fan of ''Let's Play Live'' from RTX 2013, seeing it as a terrible idea.

** According to Ray, he was never a fan of ''Let's Play Live'' from RTX 2013, seeing it as a terrible idea. Several years later, he did eventually warm up to the concept, making a surprise appearance at the RTX 2019 live show.

** At RTX 2019's Let's Play Live event, someone in the audience threw a moonball at the stage that struck Gavin in the hand. Compounded with surviving a home invasion incident in 2018, he has since cut back his online presence and stopped doing any live AH or RT events, appearing only in studio or remotely. The only exception since has been the 2022 AH Live tour, but even then he avoided a fan meet-and-greet.

** Large chunks of the team's emergency backlog for videos along with many of their October 2020 videos had to be scrapped following Ryan Haywood's inappropriate behavior scandal. The crew had to take the week off from October 7th to 14th to process the magnitude of his betrayal. Two ''This Just Internet'' episodes were also removed because of fan tweets referencing attraction to him. Jack and Michael have since stated on a livestream on the 14th that they will be scrubbing all of his featured content, effectively {{Unperson}}ing him, although they acknowledge the difficulty of completely erasing him and really honing in on the more obvious HarsherInHindsight moments. His show ''Technical Difficulties'' was completely removed, and the premiere episode of a new Rooster Teeth show called ''Grudge Match'', which revolved around Ryan and Alfredo, was cancelled before airing.

*** On his ask.fm, he also mentioned [[NoodleIncident an incident]] where the AH team was presented with a video idea from higher-ups, only for them to refuse to do it. Geoff ended up arguing with an unnamed executive for weeks on the matter, until the executive outright [[ExecutiveMeddling forced]] the team to take on the project. Luckily, whatever it was was [[LostEpisode never released]], but it was still bad enough for Ray to describe the experience as "[[BrutalHonesty fucking embarrassing]]."

** The live ''Theater Mode'' taping at RTX 2019 was unanimously decided by everyone in attendance that it would never come out because the movie in question was so egregiously offensive and DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible that nobody in the cast, camera crew, or audience enjoyed it.

* ExecutiveMeddling: In their Let's Play of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros for Wii U'', their third stage is quickly covered up with the "Technical Difficulties" sign with Ray quickly calling out "We can't show this stage." Obviously, the team picked a stage that Nintendo hasn't revealed yet and Nintendo pretty much said "Please don't show this one, yet."

** Michael and Gavin working together is called "Mavin". It's both a team name[[labelnote:*]]Although their official team name is Team Nice Dynamite.[[/labelnote]] and a shipping name.
** Ryan is known as "[[Series/GameOfThrones The Mad]] [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire King]]" owing to his being the (PlayedForLaughs) TokenEvilTeammate of Achievement Hunter. Whenever he goes OneManArmy, it's referred to as "full on beast mode".
*** In addition, he was also called "Other Jack", due to their near-identical voices.
