Go To

  • Acting for Two: In the early days of LRR, Graham and Paul were the only actors, so inevitably they both played multiple characters in the same sketch.
    • In the LoadingReadyRumble — a battle royale of characters from past sketches — twenty-five characters were played by seven people.
    • In RapStar 64K, out of the eight cast members, only two play a single character each.
  • Corpsing: Many examples.
    • In their very first video, Graham messes up one of his lines, causing Paul to start laughing. For whatever reason, it wasn't re-shot, but it did fade into a different shot, presumably to allow them to regain their composure.
    • During some of their pre-Escapist videos, such as Morgan's Problem, there was a stinger involving one or more of the crew Corpsing.
    • The Phailhaus's signature cutaway style frequently allowed for somebody to tell a really bad joke, then cut to a different story before the other hosts' laughter got too loud. It was fairly common to see them start laughing though.
  • Defictionalization: "Clickquest", shown in "The Grinder", can actually be played at http://www.clickquest.net. It went offline for several years, but was revived and is currently playable again.
  • Suppressed Mammaries: Kate did this in Rapidfire 3, Episode 5, so that she could play Bob Ross.
    Kate Stark: NEVER AGAIN.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • In Road Quest Beej wanted to drive an RV or sleeper van to match the other teams' ridiculous choices, but couldn't find one in budget that could pass inspection.
    • The cold open for the Commodore Hustle episode "Back from the Past" (the first episode released since the COVID-19 pandemic) was written in early 2022, and the crew intended to start producing more shortly thereafter. However, that was also around the time Graham started feeling ill and soon had to enter treatment for cancer for most of 2022. As such, the episode didn't come out until October 2023.
    • After Wizards of the Coast cancelled Friday Nights, the crew intended to produce more episodes themselves in 2020 - and again, the pandemic put a stop to that. Plans to make more have been pushed back repeatedly due to COVID, Graham's cancer treatment, and other behind-the-scenes issues. Graham has stated that they do plan on making more episodes, hopefully in 2024, as they also miss making the series. As of January 2024, a Kickstater has been made to fund a new season.
