The primary members of RTVS note 

"YOU DIED IN THE WORLD OF DONKEY KONG!"
AI Dungeon 2 Multiplayer Pt. 1

WayneRadioTV, or just Wayne, is the leader of Radio TV Solutions, a team of Twitch streamers and Internet funnypeople. Their most famous work is Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware, but collectively the members of this close-knit friend group are responsible for a considerable number of memes. Most of them are from North America, but the size of the group means that one of them is streaming more often than not.

The Radio TV Solutions team consists of:

Their collective carrd, which gives (most of) their pronouns and contains links to their various online presences, can be found here.


Works and Projects created/worked on by Radio TV Solutions:


These videos contain examples of:

  • Aerith and Bob: The team is pretty 50/50 in terms of having "normal" sounding names. Compare Wayne, Holly, and Lauren to Baaulp, Logmore, and Moupi.
  • Affectionate Parody: The AI-dventure Call stream is one to the recurring Adventure Call segments of Limmy's Show.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot:
    Josh: "COWBOYS!"
    • The Amazon Dark incident replaced Wayne and Trog with "superior" AI versions of themselves developed by Amazon themselves. They had a rather... tenuous grasp of what their audience cared about and wanted to see. Fittingly, Joshua came from this incident when Wayne's seed mixed with the AI.
  • All Hail the Great God Mickey!: The Church of Kong is a "religion" based on the titular ape, preached by Wayne (in character as Brother Diddy) during his Donkey Kong 64 streams.
  • Ambiguously Related: "Joey", the bizarre text-to-speech child who appeared during Scorpy's Mou-esque games stream, is directly stated not to be Moupi while at the same time being stated to be related to him in some way.
  • Amusement Park of Doom: Fart World from the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 stream, a theme park with inescapable and fatal rides alongside guests trapped in remote locations.
    • Continued with its sequel, Sex Flags, which is all of the above on top of being unable to be entered or left, the food of which is egregiously overpriced and only accessible by navigating a tumultuous maze guarded by fierce gorillas.
  • And I Must Scream: Wyatt's ultimate fate at the end of the VR Sex stream, to be trapped in the void of space for all eternity, eventually ceasing thought all together. Also doubles as a Shout-Out to Part 2 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
    • Temporarily happened to Wayne as well, as he was kidnapped by Domer during the Simpsons VR stream, disappearing for a good few streams and having to be replaced with an AI.
  • Animal Motifs:
    • Wayne is associated with apes, with his mascot the GameChimp.
    • Holly is associated with birds, with her mascot Bibi.
    • Log is sometimes depicted as his profile picture, a banjo-playing mouse.
    • Trog is usually depicted as his fursona Plink, a cowboy-hat-wearing dog with pink hair. Before Plink, he would be represented by his former Twitch profile pic: a photo of a chihuahua, also wearing a cowboy hat, nicknamed "Trogdog".
    • For a while, Scorpy was often drawn with a scorpion tail in fanart, as a pun on his name. Less commonly, he'd be drawn with snail traits, due to his username originating as "scorpy the wondersnail."
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Baaulp is quick to insist any kind of comedic self-aware weirdness happening on-stream is the result of something like a mod, even when it talks back to him.
    Baaulp: "You are talking to a bunch of pre-recorded clips, bro!"
    Gnome: "The following is a pre-recorded line; I am going to hurt Baaulp."
    • Inverted in the Amazon Dark stream, in which Baaulp, the only person on the stream that wasn't replaced by an Amazon AI, failed to notice anything out of the ordinary.
  • Artificial Stupidity: The guards in the 24-hour Minecraft VR "Wayner Must Survive" charity stream often completely ignore Wayne or easily lose him when they do spot him. Subverted in that they were actually played by fans who were asked to act like badly programmed NPCs.
  • Ascended Fanboy: darkchaoEVIL was a user of the SONIC KRAZY KULT forum that wasn't an actual member of the RTVS crew, having found the forum before registration was closed. Nobody knew this, although she did talk to Mira about it, but she broke kayfabe before Wayne allowed it, banning her as a consequence. He later states that he would be fine with her staying around even knowing she wasn't a part of the crew had she not revealed herself so early.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Wayne can suffer from this, big time. Actually having ADHD probably doesn't help.
  • Audience Participation:
    • Streams commonly have this, with streamers replying to chat and donation messages and occasional streams where music is provided through media shares.
    • Wayne and Mira have both played 66 Down, a now-defunct game aimed at Twitch streamers where chat is given a prompt and the streamer judges the responses in order to sacrifice 66 percent of the participants.
    • During Scorpy's Best Buy escape stream, donation messages were interpreted as messages playing over the store's intercom. The second Best Buy stream took this a step further by removing onscreen notifications and using a filter to imitate a store's PA.
    • During Wayne's BSOD Battleships stream, viewers could donate to attack coordinates on a battleships board. If Wayne lost, his computer would have bluescreened.
    • Scorpy played Baby Run, a game where subscriptions spawned lights and donations spawned babies that followed Scorpy around. Shattering a glass ball also caused one to drop on him in the game.
    • During one of Mira's streams viewers began casting "spells" on her that affected her onscreen avatar. This included changing her size, flipping her upside down, and even turning her into a gnome child.
    • Wayne played Fall Guys with Crowd Control, which allowed viewers to use bits to cause obstacles such as inverting his controls, making his character move in specific ways, or covering the screen with yogurt.
    • Gir played Clustertruck with Twitch integration, which allowed chat to vote on obstacles such as making the trucks thinner or wider, making them bouncy, or adding lasers to them.
  • Author Appeal: Every member of the crew has their own specific ones, but a general appeal of many of the streamers would be competitive fighting games like Tekken and Guilty Gear.
  • Award Show: The Wayne Awards 2019/JumpStart Challenge stream, as the name suggests, mixed JumpStart educational games with (mostly) odd joke awards such as "Best Pady" or "Largest Pool of Splooge Produced".
  • Ax-Crazy:
    • Gir acted like this during Scorpy's second Animal Crossing stream, mainly by literally chasing Scorpy around with an axe. Scorpy narrowly avoided getting an axe to the back of the head.
    • Mira is this as an Imposter in Among Us, sometimes leading her to make very obvious and blatant kills in front of the others just for the sake of it.
  • Bad Liar: Scorpy can not lie to save his life, as his turns as the Imposter in Among Us have proven.
  • Bait-and-Switch: On December 2, 2023 Wayne uploaded a very vague teaser to his YouTube channel, implying that a sequel to Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware would be streamed on December 16. When that date arrived and the Breaking Bad VR but the AI is Self-Aware stream was broadcast, there was no mention of Half-Life anywhere... until the end of the stream when an official teaser for Half-Life 2 VR but the AI is Self-Aware was finally shown.
  • Be as Unhelpful as Possible: If Wayne is ever stuck and/or in need of help in a game, expect at least one of his friends to act like this.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: The wizards in "Wayner Must Survive" called on a truce and even gave Wayne some of their magic in exchange for having him use Morshu's Temptation. They were subsequently destroyed by Morshu, and the Gnomes had to separate Wayne from him before making a full assault on him.
  • Big Bad: Jeff Bezos is one for the Amazon Dark stream.
  • Big Eater: Baaulp is this, by his own admission. In addition to apparently having abnormally strong teeth, he once ate 40 chicken wings by himself.
  • Big "WHAT?!": Frequently from the crew while reacting to the more bizarre things AI Dungeon spits out.
  • Bizarre Human Biology: Gir has mentioned before that he has abnormally long lungs.
  • Broken Record: Very often during early AI Dungeon 2 Multiplayer videos, to the point it was at least Once per Episode.
    AI Dungeon: "Norman begins screaming backwards! Norman begins screaming backwards! Norman begins screaming backwards! Norman begins screaming backwards!"
  • Butt-Monkey:
    • Wayne himself, being the constant target of playful-mocking from both his friends and his chat.
    • Trog is this during many of the AI Dungeon 2 streams where he is actually playing a character, as his characters have a startling tendency to die very early on compared to everyone else's. What's more, the game has used his name unprompted on three separate occasions.
  • Can't Get Away with Nuthin': The cause of the Amazon Dark incident was the Wyatt sex stream, which Jeff Bezos claims was just an elaborate ruse established by Wayne. Whether or not Wayne really did pretend to be Wyatt or Wyatt was real and framed Wayne for it is not disclosed.
  • Captain Obvious: Played for Laughs during Wayne's fake AGDQ run of Super Mario 64.
    Trog: "Mario is Italian... He has blue overalls."
  • Childhood Friends: Most of them met through YouTube Poop communities when they were in their tweens/early teens and have known each other for more than a decade.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Almost everybody even associated with Wayne is this on some level, but special mention goes to Scorpy and especially Moupi.
  • Coitus Uninterruptus: Happens multiple times in increasingly absurd and comical situations during the Sex & Gun portion of Wyatt's VR Sex stream.
  • Contemporary Caveman: Wayne's character Gub Gar is this whenever he appears on stream.
  • Cool Sword: Wayne's Korean War katana.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Everyone, but especially Log and Scorpy. Scorpy's deadpan gifts are well-known, but Log can be utterly devastating given the chance.
  • Demonic Possession:
    • This is apparently what happened to Wayne after his Simpsons VR stream. He appeared on some of his friend's streams as "Domer," who offhandedly mentioned "possessing the body of a man" and briefly released him to play GMOD surf during a Gir stream.
    • BT can also seemingly do this to Scorpy. While playing a Jonas Brothers game on the DS, Scorpy was eerily silent and entered his name as "evil." BT briefly appeared on screen as he snapped back to normal.
  • Determinator: Wayne is this in spades. From doing multiple charity streams involving staying awake for 24+ hours to spending countless hours on repetitive and borderline absurd self-imposed challenges in games he streams, Wayne is anything but a quitter.
  • Death Is a Slap on the Wrist:
    • Scorpy perishes at the end of the Best Buy stream and shortly thereafter ends up in Heaven... which has a computer and internet connection, meaning he can still easily communicate with his friends and stream on Twitch.
    • A few of Wayne's streams have also ended with him seemingly dying, such as his Fourth of July Footwerk Stream, his Dark Souls 2: San Andrangleic Stream and his I. M. Meen stream. Naturally, he's always okay afterwards. Except after the Simpsons stream, where it took him 2 weeks to get back. When he returned, he was definitely not okay.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Trog's AI-generated brother/impersonator Slog kills Baaulp for not being able to handle the "baby boy bitch sauce."
  • Downer Ending: Many of the crew's AI Dungeon 2 misadventures end this way. The Spongebob story, for example, ends up with Squidward dead, Mr. Krabs turned into a demonic ghost (who kills Spongebob), and Patrick trapped in an infinite death loop.
    AI Dungeon: Patrick die under a rock! Patrick is devoured by ghosts! Patrick is murdered by pirates! Patrick dies in a fire! Patrick drowns! Patrick is beaten to death by angry villagers! Patrick is poisoned by witches! Patrick DIE!!!!!! Rest in peace, Patrick Star. You were a sweet boy and you'll be missed.
  • The Dreaded: BT, the horrifying demon summoned by speaking its full name aloud on Scorpy's streams. Its full name, Buff Thomas, came from an offhand comment Scorpy made after a very successful hype train. This comment inspired the image which has haunted his streams ever since. Scorpy and chat will always react in sheer terror whenever it is mentioned or threatened.
  • Droste Image: Invoked by Wayne during AI Dungeon 2 Part 3 when Joshua starts demanding to watch WayneRadioTV on twitch... causing this to happen.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: Gameclam's first conference was notably different to the others:
    • Mistar Whyte was simply named Mister White.
    • Jeph Keely (played by Baalup) appeared at the beginning and throughout the production to react to the various news given by Mister White during the conference. (He would appear in the sequel, but only had 1 segment before he got killed off)
    • Gameclam 1 was pushed as some sort of Advanced Alien Technology discovered in the antarctic by the Gameclam's founders. This is never brought up again, and later Gameclams took the angle of "Whyte takes a regular appliance and tries to make it a game console, with absurd results."
  • Edible Theme Naming: Wayne's Nintendogs chihuahua Baja Blast, as the name implies, has several of his tricks named after Taco Bell-related foods/slogans.
  • Enforced Plug: Parodied whenever there's a sponsored stream; the MTN DEW AMP EXTREME stream was frequently interrupted with joke graphics for the titular soda, while the Fester's Quest stream was fraught with Wayne drinking "Head & Shoulders edibles".
  • Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: Wayne's character "Orbulous Raymon" aka "The Fushigi Freak" speaks like this.
  • Epic Fail: During the AI Cooking stream, one particularly odd "recipe" consisted of a single step of placing some raw beef on a high seat (in this case, a stool). Wayne, however, manages to somehow screw it up.
    Wayne: "My dinner is not one of honor."
  • Fingore: Combined with Major Injury Underreaction, Wayne once hit his hand against his door while attempting to jump over a two-block gap in Minecraft VR. He injured his hand so badly that he needed stitches.
  • Frazetta Man: Gub Gar, stereotypical caveman that he is.
  • Flat Joy: Log very rarely emotes above his normal pseudo-monotone voice, even when he's laughing or gushing about something he finds interest in.
  • Friend to All Children: Scorpy. He's stated on his Tumblr that he loves babies, and his Twitch profile picture is of a baby. He is also frequently drawn as/represented by that baby.
  • Friend to All Living Things: Scorpy again. He once stopped during an Animal Crossing stream to let a spider out of his house, and he has also mentioned feeding a fly milk from a spoon in the past.
  • Gainax Ending: The ending of the VR Sex stream/the Sex & Gun game, where after the final mission, the protagonist suddenly finds themselves in space with next to no explanation, none of the plot threads even close to resolved.
    • Many AI Dungeon stories also have a tendency to end this way, assuming they aren't cut off prematurely via devolving into nonsense.
  • Hell Is That Noise: Sometimes the viewers will donate media shares that just utterly baffle the streamers. Gir, for whatever reason, is often hit the worst by it.
  • Hostile Show Takeover: After Scorpy's Gameclam stream, Moupi "hacked" his account in order to promote his own console, the Ouyster.
  • Jealous Pet: For whatever reason, Jazz absolutely hates any and every woman that Wayne has ever brought over to his house.
  • Kayfabe: Wayne frequently does streams in-character and refuses to break character, even as the absurdity piles up. Examples include his "brother" Wyatt from the VR Sex stream, Faladuf from AI-dventure Call, and the Homer takeover of his social media following the Simpsons VR stream. Others indulge in this too, such as the frantic terror of Scorpy's Best Buy escape stream and Holly's trip to hell.
  • Killed Off for Real: After Wayne moved houses to Texas, the doll used for Joffery was left in the garage and got infested with spiders, leading to Wayne getting rid of the doll and presumably meaning Joffery won't be making any more appearances any time soon.
  • Laugh Themselves Sick:
  • LEGO Genetics: In the Adventurequest Subathon, Wayne kept being injected with DNA from various Sonic characters. This comes with the side effects of dressing up as those characters and, at the viewers' discretion, changing his voice to even more characters.
  • Lethal Chef: Wayne during the AI Cooking stream, though this was mostly justified given what he was making.
    • A more direct example comes from Microwave Cooking tapes that Scorpy showed off in his VHS streams, where French chef Pol Martin creates several dishes using only microwaves, most infamously cooking meat on a plate that had been blasted for 8 minutes.
  • Like Is, Like, a Comma: Almost everyone does this to some degree, but Trog tends to be the worst for it.
  • Madness Mantra: Again, very often during AI Dungeon 2. Sometimes invoked for comedic effect.
  • Man of a Thousand Voices:
    • Gir is an amateur voice actor, and he has an impressive range of impressions to call upon. From Scout, to Morshu from the Zelda CDI games, to his Half-Life scientist impression, Gir is a man of many talents.
    • Holly is a woman with an equally impressive range of voices. Her voices crop up most often as original characters, like Southern-fried Texas Ranger Mama Bear and the gruff warrior the Wretch from her playthrough of Dark Souls.
  • Masochist's Meal: Almost everything made during the AI Cooking stream counts as one of these, from a boiled onion covered in wet flour to raw eggs mixed with ice and sugar to a brick with some glue on it. The worst part? Wayne ate the majority of them.
  • Mechanical Monster: The "Phillip"... things that Scorpy encountered during his Best Buy adventure, strange near-humanoid robot creatures with bloodied metal arms and buzz-saws for knees that repeatedly chased Scorpy down and killed one of the equally creepy giant babies.
  • Military Brat: Both Mira and Gir have parents who worked for or in the military.
  • Mind Screw: Done fairly often by the entire crew, often for comedic effect, though Scorpy tends to indulge in it the most.
    • Good luck understanding anything that happens during a Moupi stream. Even when he seems to be attempting some form of a narrative, don't expect it to make any amount of sense.
  • The Mole: After seemingly dying partway through the Battleship Chex stream, Baaulp suddenly comes Back from the Dead and reveals himself to have been the villainous man known as "Banana" the entire time.
  • Moose and Maple Syrup: Holly and Scorpy are both Canadian. The latter occasionally ends his sentences with "eh?", at one point even apologizing for it after chat pointed it out.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: In the Adventurequest Subathon, a recurring threat was the Ballon alert. Being entirely silent and the only visual indicators being the initial alert and the timer, the last few seconds and the subsequent drowning theme often act as a jumpscare. Apparently, there are consequences if Wayne doesn't grab the Ballon in time, but they aren't disclosed.
  • Only Sane Man: Gir tends to fulfill this role most often, though Trog isn't too far behind when it comes to being the most grounded of the crew.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: Scorpy is "the GHOST with the MOST" according to his Twitch profile, but that doesn't stop him from streaming or doing just about anything else a regular person can. Given the ending of the Best Buy stream, this may have some credence.
    Scorpy: "I believe in ghosts because I am one."
  • Our Vampires Are Different: During a horror-themed multiplayer adventure in AI Dungeon 2, the gang comes across and battles with Dracula... who in this universe is capable of asexually-reproducing dozens of other vampires at a time via laying eggs, and can absorb their children to restore their own life-force. Averted with the other two vampires who appear in the story, Count Grey and Draven, who are comparatively much more normal.
  • Person as Verb: When Wayne messes up, people tend to say that he "Wayned it." Chat occasionally tries to imitate this with other streamers, such as saying "Gir'd it" or "Scorped it."
  • Phrase Catcher: When their friend Erarg shows up in chat or on stream, crew members tend to shout his name while doing an impression of Joshua.
  • Podcast: The group has one, called Where Do We Begin.
  • The Power of Lust: Wyatt, Wayne's "brother" from the VR Sex stream, gains the willpower to scale entire mountains just at the thought he'd be able to do some hot babes (and/or obtain the Orbs).
  • Press Start to Game Over: The first turn of the first adventure of AI Dungeon 2 Multiplayer Part 4 ends with Wayne's character dying. It doesn't take much longer before Baaulp dies as well and the gang decide to start a new adventure.
  • Punny Name: Gir and Scorpy's Discord servers. Gir's is called "MasterGirver" (or just "the Girver"), and Scorpy's is "the discorp."
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Assuming they aren't doing something based off of some pre-existing media, the crew's AI Dungeon 2 adventurers are very often this.
  • Retraux: Scorpy makes heavy use of VHS-style graphics. Unlike many other modern works which produce these visual effects digitally, Scorpy puts his videos through an actual tape recorder.
  • The Reveal: During one of Trog's streams, AI Dungeon 2 managed to produce one for the Willy Wonka story the group did.
    Willy Wonka: "Before I had my name, people called me... Charlie. Yes! Charlie, that was it!"
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: All of the crew's pets, but Jazz is probably the one who shows up the most and gets the most love from chat.
  • Robot Kid: Wayne's "son", Joshua, was created after the Amazon Dark Incident through a combination of leftover coding and Wayne's "seed". He spent the vast majority of his life tormenting his father endlessly with his obsession with cashews, farm animals, and above all, Cowboys. Unfortunately, the Text-to-Speech program used to voice Joshua went out of service in 2020, leaving Joshua's fate up-in-the-air for the time being.
  • Running Gag: The group has accumulated quite a few of these.
    • In general, any mentions of police will cause chat to spam "ACAB" (All Cops Are Bastards).
    • Members of the team have died and/or gone to the afterlife an astonishing number of times.
    • From Wayne's streams:
      • For two years, whenever he got 10,000 bits, Wayne would do the DK Rap. This was usually accompanied by chat spamming the "white" emote and "GO WHITE BOY GO." This gag ended after he finally did the rap perfectly near the beginning of his Jackbox 7 stream.
      • A long-time gag has been "balls cam"; a hypothetical stream where Wayne exposes himself. Any mention of private parts or the sight of literal balls will cause chat to repeat the phrase, and it is said that once he reaches five thousand Twitch subs he will do "balls cam" for real. Considering nudity is a hard no on Twitch, only time will tell how that would be accomplished.
      • Jokes about him beating up his fans started after a donation message prompted him to rapidly hit his microphone and say he was doing exactly that.
      • One of his channel points rewards is "summon demons," which does nothing except prompt chat to react with fear and/or anger.
      • Possibly one of the only examples of an entirely accidental running gag, Wayne has managed to cut his hand open in some way an uncomfortable amount of times live on stream.
      • A long standing heated argument between Wayne and Mira over whether Chuck E. Cheese is a restaurant or not continues to flare up in streams and rages unresolved to this day. It was notably immortalised in the final act of Half Life VR, with the G-Man refusing to allow Gordon to finish the game until he admitted that Chuck E. Cheese was not a restaurant.
    • From Scorpy's streams:
      • Chat likes to misspell his name/username every possible way (Scropy, Sorpy, Scopens, sock pens, etc.)
      • One of his channel points rewards is "glass ball shatter." Similar to "summon demons," this does nothing except prompt chat to shout "OW" and "GROW UP!"
      • Whenever he can draw, Scorpy will usually draw a Cool S, even admitting at one point that he tends to do it. He has trouble with the middle lines, often failing to connect them properly.
      • And of course, the dread demon BT.
    • From Gir's streams:
      • Any time his pet bird Tori is heard in the background, emotes of her "beeping" will show up in chat.
      • Whenever Tori makes so much as a beep, chat will demand a Tori cam or a Tori stream.
  • Sanity Slippage: Everyone starts going through one during Scorpy's final stream of Frogger: The Great Quest, thanks to the Scorpy getting lost as the endgame just drags on and on and on.
  • Seinfeldian Conversation: The most famous example is the Chuck E Cheese argument (link), where Wayne and Mira passionately debate whether Chuck E Cheese is a restaurant or an entertainment center. However, given the team’s sense of humor, these tend to crop up whenever at least two of them are talking.
  • Sensory Abuse:
    • Literally every single stream Moupi does.
    • Scorpy is also pretty prone to this, to the point that his microphone has its own Twitch emote.
    Scorpy: "Am I loud? Am I loud? Am I loud?... Sorry."
    • Speaking of Scorpy, for one stream his subscriber alert was a text-to-speech voice based on Lauren saying "awooga" that would devolve into a loud drone. Listen to it here. This sound has since become his 10,000 bits alert.
    • Joshua made some very loud noises, most memorably a foghorn sound.
    • And then there's Gir's 10,000 bits alert.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Gir and Trog named themselves after characters from pieces of media they enjoyed - Gir is named after the robot of the same name from Invader Zim, and Trog is named after Trogdor from Homestar Runner.
    • Mira’s imp persona, named Mimi, bears some resemblance to Hatsune Miku (her original mascot prior to Mimi's creation.)
    • Scorpy's old baby icon comes from this video.
    • Scorpy is a big Mega64 fan.note  His Discord profile picture, as shown in Wayne's HLVRAI commentary streams, is a picture of Rocco Botte. Two Garrett Hunter videos (quoted by chat as "Jesus is Lora" and "HHHHH") also make occasional cameos in his streams.
    • Lauren is occasionally represented as the Pokémon Bewear. She also has a Dunkaccino stream alert and emote.
    • Moupi was represented by Billy, the puppet from Saw, but in more recent times he has discarded this in favor of Spamton G. Spamton.
  • Show Within a Show: Bauulp's Sims 4 streams are framed as a sitcom where members of Radio TV Solutions are played by various actors.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Of the entire group, Wayne is probably the worst offender, to the point he has mentioned having trouble not swearing, even when children are present. Behind him, Gir is easily the 2nd most foul-mouthed of the team.
  • The Spook: The amount of concrete facts known about Moupi can be counted on one hand, and even that may be stretching it. The facts are: he is French and he has an awful computer. Exaggerated with the revelation that the other members of Radio TV Solutions know just about as much about Moupi as the audience does, aka next-to-nothing. The only thing we know for certain is that he is probably real. Probably.
  • Story Arc:
    • There have been a few of these, surprisingly enough for a group of funny video game streamers. Examples include the Amazon Dark lead-ups and stream, Scorpy's Best Buy adventure, Wayne's kidnapping and possession by Homer/"Domer", and Scorpy's exploration of the allegedly-lost PS1 game "Baby Run".
    • Some of Moupi's streams also contain an incredibly odd Half-Life story line concerning the invasion of Earth by the alien "Bobidos" and Gordon Freeman's attempts to stop them... not that that makes the streams make any more sense at all.
  • Stylistic Suck: A favorite type of humor for the crew, but most prominent with Scorpy and Moupi.
    • Scorpy's non-stream videos on his personal YouTube channel are bizarre, both in editing and content. Top 4 Babies, whose title is both perfectly descriptive and completely lacking, is a good example of this.
    • On the other hand, Moupi's streams are totally incomprehensible. If something can be done to decrease the audio/video quality, it will be done. One could make a very good argument that they count as Dada.
  • Surreal Horror: Wayne's favorite brand of horror to inject into his streams. The most notable example is probably the Simpsons stream, where Wayne watches hundreds of episodes of The Simpsons at once in VR while Superhot style text flashes behind him that says "ENJOY HOMER". Eventually Wayne begins to have a breakdown, but before he can take off the VR headset, a giant 3D model of Homer slowly approaches Wayne from behind, kidnapping him and fading back into the distance as he sobs and screams for help.
  • They Killed Kenny Again: The deaths of RTVS members have become a matter of routine. Inevitably, this image will circulate for a day, and the fans will mourn the dearly departed's loss. Then, the dead person will come back and resume streaming as normal until the next time they die. There's always a next time.
  • To Hell and Back: Holly visited Hell to search for Wayne when he went missing after the Simpsons VR Stream. He wasn't there, and Holly said it was suspiciously empty, almost as if someone summoned all the demons away (see the Running Gag section).
  • Tom the Dark Lord: Baaulp's secret villainous identity in the Battleship/Chex Quest stream, named... Banana. Son of Apple.
  • Tournament Arc: The Darkest Tournament, an event staged by Wayne taking place in Soul Calibur VI. Though a grand total of 32 notable WayneRadioTV lore characters entered the tournament, the winner was a newcomer named Pancracio... who never appeared again after winning said tournament.
  • Trademark Favorite Food:
    • Gir loves ramen. If Gir is eating food in stream, there's a good chance it's ramen. He even has a ramen emote!
    • Not Scorpy specifically, but his baby and chips emotes are associated with each other. His "BBLoveChip" emote is the baby holding up a heart made of chips, and the "FEED UR BABENS" screen was dedicated to getting subs to post the baby and chips together.
    • As mentioned above, cashews are one of Joshua's obsessions.
  • Troll: After the final Half Life Alyx Gnome stream, it was announced that a stream starring Benrey would be starting soon. When the stream began on Holly's channel, it was announced that Benrey died in a boating accident, before the stream ended.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Joshua was certainly an... interesting child, having nearly as much of a potty mouth as his father and occasionally proclaiming his desire to have sex with women... probably comes with being an AI made with Wayne's DNA.
    Joshua: "Daddy, can I say slurs?"
  • Unexplained Recovery: Joffery. After seemingly dying during the Darkest Tournament, several months later Wayne reveals him to be alive (apparently having been in the attic the whole time) and shows him on stream.
  • Unwilling Roboticisation: The Amazon Dark Incident, where the whole crew is turned into Amazon robots except, for some reason, Baaulp. They get better.
  • Villain Protagonist: Wayne plays the role of "Dark Admiral Chex Mix" in the BSoD Battleships stream, raiding Atlantis to try and steal their Chex supplies.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Wayne with many of his friends, but especially Gir and Mira. You could also make a good case for Gir being this with his own chat.
  • Web Comics: Logmore is the author and illustrator of two webcomics, Gather Ye Power and the more shonen-inspired Headhunter's Iliad.
  • Word-Salad Humor:
    • Their AI Dungeon 2 streams can occasionally devolve into this, especially if they start inputting random stuff after the story has reached a logical conclusion.
