Source Fed runs regular shows Monday-Thursday. Five stories a day, 4 minute max per video. Fridays they do a Comment Commentary. Saturday, CurbCash, Movie Reviews, and Movie Club used to run, they do Blooper compilations, behind the scenes, one on ones, game competitions on the weekends. They also run as a non-acting Production Posse to Phillip Defranco, joining him for VidCon and the Presidential debates, and he occasionally appears on weekend shows. They can be found here.The show started was Philip Defranco's new show created as a part of YouTube's content initiative. Joe Bereta, Lee Newton, Elliott Morgan, and DeFranco himself were the first commentators, and Kevin Buick running a weekend show. A couple weeks in DeFranco left, since the show was intended to be separate of him, and let the others run the show. Kevin Buick's show Curb Cash was eventually pulled due to low popularity, leaving the three commentators as the only members on the show. Steve Zaragoza, Trisha Hershberger, and Meg Turney would fill-in when other members were gone for the main show, but as they were not employees of DeFranco, they were not permanent fixtures on the commentaries. All three joined the show in short succession as official members in Fall 2012, and now all six rotate for presenting news and hosting weekend content. They all appear on the commentaries unless they're gone.
Tropes associated with Source Fed:
Adorkable: All of them show adorkable tendencies. Considering that Phillip DeFranco is also called adorkable, it may be a running thing throughout his company
"Feelin' Good With Joe Bareta" really emphasizes Joe's Adorkable side.
Badass Beard: Steve and Joe (when he lets his grow) has one.
Berserk Button: Whenever the news is about someone harmful to children, Joe tends to be the most vocal (read angry/furious) about it. Having children himself, when you take into account his Papa Wolf tendencies, it's quite understandable.
Lets just say Elliott doesn't take having a Laser pointed at him well, as seen in "Men Face Prison After Laser Pointer Prank" starting at 1:59.
Bilingual Bonus: Joe calls himself Menso on an episode about Mensa, menso means stupid is Spanish.
Bi the Way: Meg, who casually revealed that she liked girls when she asked her heterosexual panelmates if it would be weird for them to have sex with clones of themselves
Blatant Lies: Meg claiming that her first DNC video was about "freedom," as opposed to her playing on a waterslide
Blondes are Evil: Played with. Lee sometimes is put into this corner, especially during one of the comment commentaries where they discuss how touchy she is.
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Lee, Trisha, and Meg, respectively. Subverted, in that both Lee and Meg have stated that they dye their hair.
Brainless Beauty: Clearly averted for Lee, but she doesn't mind to poke fun at herself about this sometimes (2:55):
Co-Worker: If you're falling down, put that dinosaur over your face Lee!
Lee: Watch out, protect that face, it's all you got!... Thanks mom.
Hilarity Ensues in the office. Tony got the giggles and fell onto the ground.
Also averted for Meg and Trisha
Butt Monkey: Steve is playfully picked on because he had such a sheltered childhood
Has never had any surgeries, and has never broken a bone
Freak Out: Elliot has a minor one in the "Porn Star Cannibal" video (all staged, of course). After having to cover so many crazy stories, he completly loses it.
Completely loses it again when a Laser pointer is pointed on him.
Gamer Chick: Meg is a real life example of this. In the Nerd Porn segments, she is always the one who covers video games. Trisha also qualifies
Happily Married: Parodied. Lee married herself, with Philip acting as the mayor representing the state of the Internet in "The Self Marriage Trend" video.
Hufflepuff House: In this video, the different members took a test on Pottermore in order to determine in which house they would belong. Joe got Griffyndor, Elliot got Ravenclaw and Lee got... Hufflepuff. She does not take it well, because of the implications of the trope.
Also Meg in a bikini, although that seems to have been entirely her decision
Meg also cosplayed for the borderlands 2 video, and has a fair bit of cosplay behind her. It's fair to say that Meg is the current Ms. Fanservice.
Named By Democracy: Every year Maxim Magazine is making list of the top 100 hottest women; in 2012 they let the readers vote and you could do a write in, and add someone who wasn't on the list. Joe and Elliott told viewers to vote for Lee. They did. So much that they crashed the site! Maxim then did article that included Lee and mentioned that she had "List potential." In the end, Lee Newton landed in the 57th place.
Papa Wolf: Joe. Everytime a story is about a child put in danger, this pushes his Berserk Button and he makes it pretty clear that anyone who is harmful to children should deserve the worst punishment ever. Given the fact he's a proud father himself, it's quite understandable.
