1The Ready Set is a one-man-band from Fort Wayne, Indiana, with Jordan Mark Witzigreuter as its frontman. Jordan chose the stage name 'the Ready Set' because so many people had trouble with his last name. The Ready Set's music is generally electro-pop. The band has been featured on television shows like "So Random" and "Oh Sit!" as well as Silent Library.

5!!The Ready Set provides examples of:
6
7* AntiRoleModel: Jordan is actually very clean-cut and music is extremely clean, but he declares that he is not a role model, and even has a setisode dedicated to the topic.
8* AsHimself: In a lot of the Setisodes, Jordan plays himself and just the fact that he's a one-man-band declares this.
9* ChekhovsGunman: The original music video for 'Love Like Woe' was about a group of teens/young-adults running from zombies and having a party in a safe-house/shed. One of the zombies is featured in the 'More then Alive' music video and is an important and mysterious character in the plot of the video.
10* TheCameo: Pete Wentz is the zombie that appears in the beginning of "Love Like Woe" and is also the one who grabs Jordan near the end of the video. He also appears in various setisodes.
11* TheComicallySerious: Jordan plays this in a lot of interviews and videos. Some famous incidents including 'films on a bus' setisode and basically all of his TRS art classes, where he says purposely wrong information about what he's drawing and acts completely serious about it to the point where it's almost impossible not to laugh out loud while watching the videos.
12* LyricVideo: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBaWgMl5QQU The video]] for "Give Me Your Hand" features a girl performing ASL to the viewer and to the people on the street.
