Internet Killed Television is a daily Vlog Series that follows the lives of Charles Trippy. The first five years Alli Trippy was part of the vlogs before their separation and divorce. IKT started on May 1st, 2009. They intended to only film for a year, but after the popularity of the vlogs grew, they decided to continue, and the series is still continuing to this day.

Internet Killed Television can be found on the YouTube channel CTFxC. They also have three other channels: the CharlesTrippy channel, where they upload humorous skits, the Alli channel, where they upload their Movie Club and Food Challenge videos, and the Trippy channel, where Charles uploads short videos from his iPhone.


Tropes associated with Internet Killed Television:

  • Birds of a Feather: Alli and Charles. They're both very weird.
  • The Cameo: Several YouTubers have appeared in the daily vlogs, including Philip Defranco and Shay Carl, another vlogger.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Charles. His thought process can be very... bizarre. Alli, too, but to a less severe extent.
  • Extreme Omnivore: Marley. She eats everything, including poop and a variety of vegetation. But not bananas.
  • Follow the Leader: The reason for Charles and Alli started vlogging was that Shay Carl, a friend of theirs, had started vlogging.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Charles had been friends with Danny and Travis of the band We The Kings since middle school. He joined the band in September 2011 to fill in for their bassist.
  • Running Gag: Several. Alli or Charles being late for a flight, Charles' huge head, Marley rolling in poop, Alli's fear of wax paper.
  • The Unintelligible: Marley and her yaps and wails—Unless she has subtitles, but even then her dialogue is littered with questionable grammar, similar to internet dogs/cats.
  • Wham Episode:
    • Day 1029, Charles passes out, in what later turns out to be due to a seizure, and was rushed to the hospital.
    • Day 1030, it was revealed it was due to a brain tumor. He had surgery a week later and the tumor was successfully removed.
    • Day 1617, when Charles and Alli revealed that Charles has brain cancer.
    • Day 1803, Charles announced that he and Alli are separating.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Jeff Takeover was Charles and Alli's roommate, and a prominent feature in the early vlogs, until Alli left for Spain, and Charles moved to Tallahassee. He hasn't been heard of or mentioned since.
