7Two college students, Whitelite (Alex Delfrate) and [=J3ZA=] (Jeremy Hearn), "who like playing games and having a laugh". As of October 11 2010, Two Awesome Gamers (TAG for short) started uploading {{LetsPlay}}s of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and since then have garnered over one-hundred thousands subscribers. Though they are most known for their ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' Skyblock series, TAG has also recorded Crashtastic, VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}}, Surgeon Simulator, Hack/Mine, [=SkyGrid=], a Tekkit series, and a few modification showcases.

9The channel is retired as of now, but their original Skyblock series is still considered a high point in the Minecraft Let's Play community.

23!!TAG (and their videos) provides examples of:
24* BlatantLies: After turning around and shooting [=J3ZA=] in episode 7 of Skyblock, Whitelite says the arrow "ricocheted".
25* CompanionCube: To an extent. Since creepers and cows in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' aren't actually living, this may qualify. In one episode of Skyblock, Whitelite discovers a creeper that spawned on the roof of their house. He then asks the fans to name it for him.
26** Also, TAG named a cow Herbert, who was the only resident of their pasture.
27* CatchPhrase:
28** "Punk-ass bitch!"
29** "Aww, dicks!"
30** "Huzzah!"
31** "There's shit everywhere!"
32%%* CliffHanger: Episode 4 of Skyblock.
33* CrazyEnoughToWork: In episode 8 of the Skyblock series, [=J3ZA=] managed to build a cobblestone bridge from the island all the way to the mainland, a job which probably took at least an hour. He even admitted that he completed the task while procrastinating an examination study session.
34%%* DeadpanSnarker: The white text on the black background that occurs in Skyblock and Skygrid.
35* {{Determinator}}: Both of them. Despite constant failure or extremely long processes to get things done, they almost never give up.
36* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3M8BS2KHNI Explosives+]] mod review, Whitelite says that he could "use this nuke to nuke the nuke."
37* [[invoked]]DudeNotFunny: Parodied. TAG has been known for its Mexican jokes, and some commentators believe their Mexican fans have abandoned them. Whitelite himself has received an email complaint about said jokes.
38* EpicFail: The first few videos of their Tekkit series involved their supposed "house" being damaged several times by creepers. Several deaths and frustrations later, they finally managed to build a small factory that even Whitelite admitted looked pretty awful.
39--> "I don't know why it looks so much like ass... I tried."
40** Another example would be after about half a minute in The End, [[spoiler: [=J3ZA=] gets knocked off the platform by the Ender Dragon and loses about ''three hours'' worth of supplies]].
41%%* FreezeFrameBonus: The white text occasionally includes this (such as in episode 3 of Skyblock).
42* GoneHorriblyRight: The mob spawner they built in Skyblock spawned mobs ''everywhere''. The first part of the next episode is spent showing them taking it back.
43-->'''[=J3ZA=]''': It works too well!
44%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Justified, since they're both roommates with a common interest in gaming.
45* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The nuke they set off in Tekkit [[spoiler: wound up killing them multiple times and spawning an ''insane'' amount of monsters.]]
46* ManChild: An episode of Crashtastic was entitled [="P3NIS"=].
47** In Farming Simulator, they drew a male genitalia in the fields.
48* NoIndoorVoice: As shown by their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYG36892DJI official trailer]], whenever they get excited or angry, they tend to yell. Played with a comic effect.
49* {{Sidekick}}: Averted. Most may think that Whitelite is the main character, since he's the one doing the recording. But both Whitelite and [=J3ZA=] contribute to the commentary equally.
50* RunningGag: In Skyblock, TAG not finishing their house roof.
51* TakeThat: What generally happens during the Crashtastic videos when they beat a level after several tries.
52** Not to mention their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGDU3aAg6FQ epic fight]] with the Ender Dragon in season 3 of Skyblock.
53* TakeThatMe: During the Skyblock series, Whitelite constantly insults his and [=J3ZA=]'s ability to do anything right in ''Minecraft''. It might be understandable, especially after all the deaths they endured in that series.
54** Referred to in one of their VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}} videos.
55--> '''Whitelite''': "Today we have proof that we're not complete retards at every game we play."
56* TooDumbToLive: TAG themselves, although [[DoubleSubverted sometimes they seem prepared and bad luck or unknown circumstances arise and they fail anyway.]]
57** Played straight with all the animals except Hubert in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w9lSUc-R5I Skyblock #26]].
