'''Boardkake''' is a web comedy show starring Mike Bennett(of ''WebVideo/{{The Bunny Perspective}}'' fame), Andy Lewis, Josh Lyon and Sam Oswald as caricature versions of themselves playing [[TabletopGames board games]]. The concept is very simple, the execution [[HilarityEnsues gut-bustingly funny]]. The games rarely go as planned and go off the rails into house-ruled insanity or devolve into [[RulesLawyer rules lawyering and nitpicking]]. It doesn't help that all four protagonists [[SeriousBusiness play for keeps]] and are [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder more than willing to screw each other as they play]].

* FilmNoir: In the Red Dragon Inn episode, Josh and Mike end up facing off in a card game and the scene starts spoofing a film noir scene, including dramatic lighting, black and white video and intense, witty banter. This witty banter includes the phrase "[[CrowningMomentOfFunny Ring-a-ding-ding, here comes the fuck-truck!]]"

He cheated by looking at Andy's cards in the Red Dragon inn episode and Andy STILL won, and in the Monopoly episode he won on a technicality(the game was so insanely chaotic that the players basically said "fuck it" and streamlined the game with a special die; it ended up making Josh win by no effort of his own, fair or otherwise).

The series has scripted episodes, but also [[VlogSeries vlog]] [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] of the different games where the cast explains the rules and play in a much friendlier manner. The vlogs still turn out hilarious, though, considering they like to play games like Cards Against Humanity and TabletopGames/{{Munchkin}}.
