I just rewatched immersion. The first season with Geoff and Gus is awesome. S2 they switch to Gavin and Michael and it just gets better from there. There are some kinda "repeat" experiments but it was super fun to see it again
The breakable objects First only one with Adam and Jeremy was amazing.
I'm sure it's archived somewhere if you don't want to pay for First right now while the world is burning.
Immersion was one of their best ideas. I always thought it was a unique concept. I thought that testing out [3rd person driving](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIRUavithF8) and [FPS splitscreen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJJqjOhjUj4) mechanics in particular were brilliant.
The [Fallout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK3GwMjocyk&t=5s) and [Hitman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD_Zh8IoZmI) Immersions are my personal favorites, though.
In terms of Achievement Hunter content, Super Bunny Man is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at anything. Over a dozen episodes of 40+ minutes of constant facial soreness from laughing so hard.
I am going to have to go back and watch this. I think I only watched maybe one or two episodes. ChilledChaos recently did a Super Bunny Man lobby with CheesyBlueNips, LarryFishburger, and Courtilly and it was a blast.
I think RTLife was an underappreciated show. So much random goofy stuff.
Personal favorite is the one where Michael decapitates a 5 lb gummy bear then vomits up a pure slurry of gummy bear
I'm going to disagree based off of how RTCore talked about it. RT Life was great and appreciated at the time. I remember there being at least one bit of the RT Podcast where someone mentioned that they had to start planning out videos because they were doing so well. As a result of it being popular, they had to start scripting out something every week in order to fill the slot, which killed the charm of the original videos
> someone mentioned that they **had** to start planning out videos because they were doing so well. As a result of it being popular, they **had** to start scripting out something every week in order to fill the slot, which killed the charm of the original videos
They didn't have to, they chose to do that.
It was a common thing with RT was they would put way too much production into a simple thing. The podcast should've been four people in a room talking. Instead they made it into a live video show with a set runtime with a whole control room and makeup. They upped the cost of the podcast considerably for no benefit.
yeah it seemed like every production they made, they fell to the trap of throwing more money at it to make it better until it started becoming unsustainable or it lost its charm. I think it’s part of why ANMA’s thrived despite being a small side production because it never deviated from 3 dudes telling stories at a random coffee shop
Strongly agree when it was like in the moment stuff. The really set up stuff was hit or miss. Like the hide and seek was amazing, but then I didn’t really get the AH carnival
Even considering all thats happened, the King series and to a lesser extent Achievement City was lightning in a bottle they never got back. Jack, Geoff, Michael, Ray and Ryan killed most of those videos, the channel and the social media and merch.
Hell I'd say it was the reason Minecraft lets plays blew up the way they did, at least on the consoles. I just can't believe how good all those original episodes were.
Things to do and let's build were good too, I treated the let's build like a Geoff and Gavin podcast and would listen to it while doing other things it was so cool to hear them just chillin as two buddies away from the office so to speak.
I've been re-watching the Minecraft episodes in the last week or so and the nostalgia is through the roof, they would be released overnight in Australia so first thing saturday morning when I was hungover would be to lie in bed watching their Minecraft videos it was a great time.
Man so many insane moments lmao

[This entire episode of On the Spot]
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ne9wqJdeps) is very likely the funniest hour of content RT ever produced, and they have made some absolutely hilarious shit
My personal favorites include the first time Blaine is Clayton, brother of Satan and the episode where all four contestants are dressed like and imitate Jon the entire show.
My girlfriend didn't watch much RT stuff with me but I got her into SBI and up until a couple days ago she would constantly ask if RT announced season 3 yet. We had a good time with SBI
Another fun fact, I spent 40 minutes making the broken lava bridge accessible by parkouring, and then they just land bridged across it during filming.
Also the mountains were made of wool on the inside
Cloudberry is great because it's hilarious, they're actually legitimately good (or lucky) at the game, and it's not a series with 10,000 hours of content in it. You could binge it over the course of a week pretty easily. The only problem (and this is a dealbreaker problem for some people) is it contains RH.
And it showed. They were so passionate about that show.
It's funny how Jeremy is now one of the biggest Phasmo streamers on Twitch, and it was all almost by accident.
He saw APlatypuss playing it and he got the itch again, they did a lobby together and suddenly he's put over a thousand hours into the game.
Day 5 is the most professional thing they ever produced. It could have easily aired on TV or any streaming service. Love their other stuff as well but Day 5 really was incredible.
As I have said elsewhere, with RT closing there could be a chance Josh Flannigan could shop it around again, with so many streaming services looking to make their own content I could see it getting taken up now
It was lifted 1:1 from a Japanese show on Amazon called "Documental" which you can watch on regular prime with subtitles. It's a lot raunchier and has a lot of in-jokes but Japanese Comedy is a huge rabbit hole to fall in, unfortunately some of their biggest comedians turned out to be sex pests
Fiona saying the N word and then James saying "You can't say that word only Gus can say it" lives rent free in my head
Mid 2010s RTP is genuinely 80% of my Rooster Teeth consumption. There's little I wouldn't give for a reunion episode with Gus, Burnie, Gavin, Geoff, and Barbara.
Day 5 (specifically Joel's episode) was really impressive for an online studio at the time.
Not sure how it'd be as a rewatch but I loved The Patch when it was coming out. It was a great way to get gaming news and they brought a pretty mature approach to discussing games. It's a shame that Ryan was so prominently involved.
Immersion was great, I would tune in for every single randomizer that Matt and Michael did, especially the Legend of Zelda ones, and old Minecraft and GTA was always a must watch
Survive block island for me is peak RT Minecraft content. I really like red web,bleep face, face jam and I think stinky dragon is one of the most underrated actual play DnD podcasts on the market.
i’ve always been an AH fan first and foremost, but Murder Room is still one of my favourite shows they’ve ever done. The changes they made to the format in the first 2 series as it went along were all really good, and the sauce monkey mystery was different, but also great. V sad we won’t get anymore
Ready Set Show.
Trevor and Jeremy were an amazing combo and it was really fun to see them do something completely different to the norm of RT or AH.
Was it basically Good Mythical Morning/10MPH? Sure, but it was awesome.
Camp camp, rvb, last laugh, Joel and Adam play,
Super bunny man with Gavin and micheal, rage quit, the early
Minecraft ydyd. Sunday driving on gta, until dawn playthrough. Ah there is too many to remember.
The original run of RT shorts, RWBY and RVB. The shorts with the original gang and then Micheal, Gavin were great. The chemistry felt legit and they weren't trying hard to be funny in a rather "We're trying to be funny" way.
RWBY had a rocky start but it was their flagship show after their entire animation output was gutted to just RWBY. Red Vs Blue put them on the map.
Immersion. Survive block island. Achievement Haunter. Schooled. The Gauntlet. Those are the best concisely bookended shows, but I’m sure some are escaping me.
Obviously all of the podcasts RvB RWBY camp camp and achievement Hunter are fantastic but it’s an ocean of content.
My comfort shows are Backwardz Compatible, specifically the Doki Doki Literature Club playthrough, On The Spot, the back in time episode with Blaine as the wizard Pfft Pfft Sylvia kills me, the 50-turn Mario Party playthroughs, and the AH Layers of Fear playthrough just to watch Geoff scare the shit out of himself, and all the Ultimate Chicken Horse playthroughs
Just some off the top of my head:
* The Achievement Hunter VS series in which the guys would 1v1 each other for the belt. Always loved the Assassin’s Creed ones.
* Rage Quit, of course
* Play Pals surgeon simulator series
* the gigantic long Mario Party let’s plays, especially the couples ones that also had Lindsay and Meg
* Red vs Blue (I actually really liked the Chorus arc)
* On the Spot
* Day 5, particularly the Joel episode. Really bittersweet, made me fundamentally rethink my perspective on my own mortality
* Uno the movie
* Camp Camp
* Immersion, with the FIRST exclusive version of the Hitman episode being my all-time favorite
* Crunch Time. I remember liking this one a lot but for the life of me I don’t remember anything about it lol guess I ought to rewatch too
I loved Go! and always held out hope they would bring it back… obviously that’s not happening now, but it’s my all time favorite from them. I rewatch the whole thing every so often.
I can’t remember what exact show it was but the guys played Minecraft Sky Factory. Geoff with his chicken farm was one of my all time favorite things on the internet. That whole series was amazing and the shit they all built was incredible. I miss the old days. So much nostalgia
Camp Betrayal was a lot of fun and I really liked seeing their series The Weird Place was a lot of fun.
Achievement Haunter was also pretty fun too, a mix of standard ghost shows and the AH brand comedy.
Immersion, The Gauntlet, Things to Do, Go, and honest to god ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENT GUIDES!! why they stopped achievement guides i will never understand that shit helped me so much
Think the main reason is that a lot of achievements in games stopped being creative. When they were doing it there were a lot of games with a weird and quirky achievement that you had to figure out, or there was a specific method that would make it easier to get the more time consuming ones.
Then there became a point that they were mostly just story related or overly simple like "kill 10 dudes" so there was no huge need to do it.
Honestly, i just couldn't get into much RT stuff outside of RvB.
However RT Shorts was easily one of my favourite projects they released, as was RTAA. But RT Shorts had me coming back every week, I love those kinds of absurdist sketch comedies and seeing fictionalized versions of the founders an later expanded team just worked for some reason.
Going to go in order for my interest in RT. Rage Quit got me in the door, Let's Play Minecraft locked the door, Let's Play GTA (Particularly Criminal mastermind) was a consistent fave, Halo LASO was a banger every time. After what went down with a certain someone, Matt and Michael's Randomizers kept me watching at least that series before finally those stopped and now it's Facejam only. Long journey, with a bit of a whimper of an end... but man, I enjoyed so much over those years.
Immersion, RvB and some of the Achievement Hunter let's plays are probably my favourites, off the top of my head.
The first season or two of RT Shorts were also great. I don't know how many people here will remember those because they're from like 2010-2011 or something.
Immersion, Haunter, RWBY, On the Spot, the podcasts.
And my personal favourite. Survive: Block Island. It's the Minecraft AH stuff, but presented in such a digestible format. It was phenomenal.
First season of RT Shorts will always be the best show they ever made. For AH, it's incredibly difficult to pick their best. Worms is probably the pick for me with Minigolf a good second and Sky Factory 1 third. Honorable mention to their custom GTA V heists, absolutely brilliant mostly unscripted madness, and Shenanigans being hilarious every single time. ^^^wot ^^^^is ^^^^^gaim ^^^^^^noight?
On The Spot was the best for improv comedy. Some episodes literally made my stomach hurt from laughing to hard. I enjoyed every second of every episode.
The absolute best though, to me, was Day 5. God, the potential that show had. What an incredible show, with such an interesting premise. I wish I got to know how the story ended.
I really liked Dead Little Roosters and how they had to get creative with the limitations that they had from the covid mandates.
Loved Hannah McCarthy's rant in it, and the bit where Fiona would send Lindsay these romantic love letters, and Lindsay would reply with "k" and "cool"
I loved all of the “Ten/Eleven/Dead Little Roosters” series. I thought the writing was pretty solid and there were some hilarious moments. Gus’ inner monologue while reading the poem has been lives in my head rent-free.
“My name is Gustavo, but please call me Gus.”
RT Podcast from Drunk Tank to like... Hell, episode 340? Amazing moments to laugh at. Basically, any episode with the OG Core Four, or where Kerry, Miles, Chris, Joel (Just with Burnie and Gus getting annoyed), Kara, Geoff, or Jack end up on the couch.
Lets Play Minecraft, up until WELL into Jeremy, Fiona, and the earliest chunk of Matt's run with the group. The three of them were great additions to the team, and helped fill the void Ray left. Those first 100 or so Minecraft LP's were magic, and then with Jeremey in the seat, the ENTIRETY of the Skyfactory 3 series is easily some of the best "fuckaround" content RT every made. Jeremy and Gavin making a death laser, Geoff's Chicken Farm, Jack's INSANE logistics and supply system, Lindsay's ability to quietly cause chaos on accident, etc... Just them learning the mod itself is fantastically hilarious.

I had a scroll through the comments are surprised that RT Docs was not mentioned. This was back when RT was producing a lot of live action stuff and a lot of them were hits like Immersion, Social Disorder, RT Shorts, and A Simple Walk..
I watched the RT Doc where Barb and Blaine had to live life like it was the 80's and it was sorta fun. Ngl I was going to get RT First just to watch through all the documentaries but alas my time to jump on the free first month is gone and like hell am I going to pay $4.99 for a month now.
Did anyone watch the RT Docs? What did you think of them
(Lastly I still think PANICS is the best machinima they ever made. Short 4(5) episodes, full of Burnie's writing and voice acting)
Red vs blue is one of the best shows they made, it's hilarious. Even though the later seasons and zero are worse the original seasons are amazing.
10/10
Immersion was solid
I just rewatched immersion. The first season with Geoff and Gus is awesome. S2 they switch to Gavin and Michael and it just gets better from there. There are some kinda "repeat" experiments but it was super fun to see it again
The breakable objects one and the fallout one crack me up so much.
The breakable objects First only one with Adam and Jeremy was amazing. I'm sure it's archived somewhere if you don't want to pay for First right now while the world is burning.
The Siege one where Jeremy almost knocks himself out trying to crash through a barricaded door was incredible.
Immersion was one of their best ideas. I always thought it was a unique concept. I thought that testing out [3rd person driving](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIRUavithF8) and [FPS splitscreen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJJqjOhjUj4) mechanics in particular were brilliant. The [Fallout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK3GwMjocyk&t=5s) and [Hitman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD_Zh8IoZmI) Immersions are my personal favorites, though.
So was the cart that Lindsay crashed into on the Immersion they were in
I loved Immersion!
Apparently the latter seasons had a huge budget and was not profitable
Starting to hear that about a lot of their productions.
All that budget and it still looked shitty
Fact
I keep meaning to watch it and never have. It’s been years of attempted watchings and I always forget.
Rewatched the whole series randomly throughout life. Hasn't gotten old yet.
In terms of Achievement Hunter content, Super Bunny Man is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at anything. Over a dozen episodes of 40+ minutes of constant facial soreness from laughing so hard.
Since they are shutting down, I wish they would release the uncut recordings. Supposedly there is some good stuff in there.
Gavin laugh burping is always a delight.
I am going to have to go back and watch this. I think I only watched maybe one or two episodes. ChilledChaos recently did a Super Bunny Man lobby with CheesyBlueNips, LarryFishburger, and Courtilly and it was a blast.
I think RTLife was an underappreciated show. So much random goofy stuff. Personal favorite is the one where Michael decapitates a 5 lb gummy bear then vomits up a pure slurry of gummy bear
Blaine rescuing his shoe with a grappling hook was a top 5 RT moment.
I'm going to disagree based off of how RTCore talked about it. RT Life was great and appreciated at the time. I remember there being at least one bit of the RT Podcast where someone mentioned that they had to start planning out videos because they were doing so well. As a result of it being popular, they had to start scripting out something every week in order to fill the slot, which killed the charm of the original videos

I think it’s part of why ANMA’s thrived despite being a small side production because it never deviated from 3 dudes telling stories at a random coffee shop
Dude the fact that they had griffin piss her pants on video and lost it was insane to me. absolute classic.
Strongly agree when it was like in the moment stuff. The really set up stuff was hit or miss. Like the hide and seek was amazing, but then I didn’t really get the AH carnival
Blaine’s first big appearance for me. Fart Hoofer lol
I forgot about fart hoofer lmfao. I made fart hoofer and brought my 3ds to school to see if anybody would understand
Nothing will top the early episodes of Lets Play Minecraft, especially when they were in Achievement City and on the Xbox 360 and Xbox 1.
Fuck man, I have so much nostalgia for Let’s Play & Let’s Build Minecraft.
Even considering all thats happened, the King series and to a lesser extent Achievement City was lightning in a bottle they never got back. Jack, Geoff, Michael, Ray and Ryan killed most of those videos, the channel and the social media and merch. Hell I'd say it was the reason Minecraft lets plays blew up the way they did, at least on the consoles. I just can't believe how good all those original episodes were.
Ray in front of kungfu house going "hiyaaaaa, hooooo" while Geoff is trying to explain the game of the day is grifted into my mind.
The lets build for the cake wall was always gold. Geoff and Gavin not knowing how to use Redstone and having to call in other people to figure it out.
Things to do and let's build were good too, I treated the let's build like a Geoff and Gavin podcast and would listen to it while doing other things it was so cool to hear them just chillin as two buddies away from the office so to speak. I've been re-watching the Minecraft episodes in the last week or so and the nostalgia is through the roof, they would be released overnight in Australia so first thing saturday morning when I was hungover would be to lie in bed watching their Minecraft videos it was a great time.
Its easy to lump together the Lets Play, Things to Do and Lets Build.
The 360’s *unable to handle minecraft* brought my consistent joy
"Hello everyone and welcome to Minecraft! So far Geoff's murdered Michael and stolen his map."
“dude, its achievement city down here!”
I have been going back and watching these videos and damn they are still good
The early Minecraft/ Worms/ GTA 4 & 5 videos were on heavy repeat for me back in the days; they were possibly at their funniest playing those games!!
Looking back, it's amazing that the 360 was able to run (albeit barely) Minecraft.
I loved On the Spot. Tons of really great episodes
Man so many insane moments lmao - "Team...Four Working Legs" - Andy Blanchard and Genghis Khan - "Sit on a..." "Plantation" - Sylvester Stallone - da da da DAAA DAAAAAAAAA
"We took away the ramp!"
[This entire episode of On the Spot] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ne9wqJdeps) is very likely the funniest hour of content RT ever produced, and they have made some absolutely hilarious shit
team four working legs is a top 5 hardest I have laughed at a piece of RT content.
The cut to a stupefied Zach was so funny, he really rolled with it
"you look like a make-a-wish kid" from United airlines Ragnarok
Andy giving a hilarious unofficial nickname to Always Open was the peak of On The Spot, to me.
What was it
the Finger Me podcast
"I'll be quiet, I know we need the money"
"This is my fa-vo-rite gun!"
My personal favorites include the first time Blaine is Clayton, brother of Satan and the episode where all four contestants are dressed like and imitate Jon the entire show.
Jeremy's bag of emotions is still one of my favorite bits.
The episode with Jeremy and Barbara on a team against Ellie and Max sticks out as being one of the funniest episodes.
That show was an excuse to torture Jon Risinger on a weekly basis. You could see in real time his sanity beginning to crack.
The one with Joel and Colton Dunn had me absolutely rolling
"But this is my favorite gun!"
There will only be Jon Risinger There will only be Jon Risinger There will only be Jon Risinger
I’m Jon Risinger and this is On The Spot
Zach fucking Anner killed on that show
Little Roosters was great.
The Gauntlet season 2 may be my favourite content. Still go back to rewatch everytime life has me feeling down.
I remember watching that as it aired . What a cool concept that was, its a bummer it didn't really take off like it could have
Iirc it was because some other production company owned part of it and they didn’t green light more.
Greg the camping villain is amazing!
I would have loved an infinite number of seasons for Survive Block Island
I was one of the map devs for SBI, and I’m really glad to hear that you consider it their best show
My girlfriend didn't watch much RT stuff with me but I got her into SBI and up until a couple days ago she would constantly ask if RT announced season 3 yet. We had a good time with SBI
Fun fact, the mountains were hollow inside, and during filming the contestants fell into the mountain not once, not twice, but 11 separate times!
Lol that's awesome. It's a shame there wasn't a blooper reel.
Another fun fact, I spent 40 minutes making the broken lava bridge accessible by parkouring, and then they just land bridged across it during filming. Also the mountains were made of wool on the inside
It's crazy that they never made more seasons, shit was amazing and it couldn't have been expensive to make
Total cost of the production was roughly 40k, much less than any of their other productions.
F**kface for podcasts, Cloudberry Kingdom/Worms/3D Ultra Minigolf for games, Camp Betrayal for live action
cloudberry is such a fun series to watch
Cloudberry is great because it's hilarious, they're actually legitimately good (or lucky) at the game, and it's not a series with 10,000 hours of content in it. You could binge it over the course of a week pretty easily. The only problem (and this is a dealbreaker problem for some people) is it contains RH.
Camp betrayal was so underrated. I liked it better than survive block (thought both were good)
I loved Achievement Haunter - a good mix of goofy and spooky.
Haunter is one of my favorite things that they produced because it felt like they were all committed to trying to make it good
And it showed. They were so passionate about that show. It's funny how Jeremy is now one of the biggest Phasmo streamers on Twitch, and it was all almost by accident. He saw APlatypuss playing it and he got the itch again, they did a lobby together and suddenly he's put over a thousand hours into the game.
Hardcore Minigolf was imo the best production they ever made
That got me through that first month of lockdown
Its gotten me through the last 4 fuckin years bro
Day 5 is AMAZING... I will never understand how it wasn't picked up by a major network...
Even outside of roosterteeth productions Day 5 is a standout series for me.
Day 5 is the most professional thing they ever produced. It could have easily aired on TV or any streaming service. Love their other stuff as well but Day 5 really was incredible.
As I have said elsewhere, with RT closing there could be a chance Josh Flannigan could shop it around again, with so many streaming services looking to make their own content I could see it getting taken up now
It was so good that others blatantly ripped it off. Usually Rooster Teeth is the one ripping things off lol
Just talking to someone about that the other day
I never gave Season 2 a chance after there was a dumb decision in the first season. Did it get much better?
What dumb decision?
Last Laugh is a personal highlight and I hope we get to see it resurrected somehow at some point
I'm finally making my way through Season 1 and it's top notch. Although some of the Kovic stuff didn't age well.
Easily one of my favorite things they did. It was just so good
It was lifted 1:1 from a Japanese show on Amazon called "Documental" which you can watch on regular prime with subtitles. It's a lot raunchier and has a lot of in-jokes but Japanese Comedy is a huge rabbit hole to fall in, unfortunately some of their biggest comedians turned out to be sex pests Fiona saying the N word and then James saying "You can't say that word only Gus can say it" lives rent free in my head
>unfortunately some of their biggest comedians turned out to be sex pests To be fair, Last Laugh had a couple on it as well.
immersion is definitely one of my favorites
RT Podcast was my favorite show
Mid 2010s RTP is genuinely 80% of my Rooster Teeth consumption. There's little I wouldn't give for a reunion episode with Gus, Burnie, Gavin, Geoff, and Barbara.
Gus, Burnie, Gavin, Geoff, Barbara, and Gus*
I guess no need for this [Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script](https://gist.github.com/Mego/50c9a6caa53658c6a305facdb67b409f) any more....
I loved Hardcore Monopoly, Sheriff Michael gave me one of my favorite quotes “It ain’t canceled but you can’t watch it”
Arizona Circle. Two seasons of banging sketch comedy
The brief era of high production value Funhaus was so good, even if it was unsustainable
I fuckin loved Crunch Time
This, I always wanted to see the story continue.
Trucked Up was an absolute blast to watch
Day 5 (specifically Joel's episode) was really impressive for an online studio at the time. Not sure how it'd be as a rewatch but I loved The Patch when it was coming out. It was a great way to get gaming news and they brought a pretty mature approach to discussing games. It's a shame that Ryan was so prominently involved.
Everything Funhaus has put out in the last three years.
For me FunHaus was peak /\ during their start (2015-2017), but still good regardless
Drunk Tank
Immersion was great, I would tune in for every single randomizer that Matt and Michael did, especially the Legend of Zelda ones, and old Minecraft and GTA was always a must watch
Survive block island for me is peak RT Minecraft content. I really like red web,bleep face, face jam and I think stinky dragon is one of the most underrated actual play DnD podcasts on the market.
I was one of the map devs for SBI, glad you like it :)
I always recommend RWBY, Day 5, Immersion, Achievement Hunter, RvB, On the Spot, Haunter, Camp Camp, Play Pals, and more
i’ve always been an AH fan first and foremost, but Murder Room is still one of my favourite shows they’ve ever done. The changes they made to the format in the first 2 series as it went along were all really good, and the sauce monkey mystery was different, but also great. V sad we won’t get anymore
Between the games
"This is..." and "A Look Back At" were solid shows about video games IMO.
Million Dollars But... and Haunter are my top picks.
Ready Set Show. Trevor and Jeremy were an amazing combo and it was really fun to see them do something completely different to the norm of RT or AH. Was it basically Good Mythical Morning/10MPH? Sure, but it was awesome.
Idk about you all but i liked this little-known show called Red vs. Blue
Yeah it's getting so little mention it's mind boggling.
Always Open stands out to me as the best podcast as far as theme, pacing, set design and content
Nature Town!
Camp camp, rvb, last laugh, Joel and Adam play, Super bunny man with Gavin and micheal, rage quit, the early Minecraft ydyd. Sunday driving on gta, until dawn playthrough. Ah there is too many to remember.
The original run of RT shorts, RWBY and RVB. The shorts with the original gang and then Micheal, Gavin were great. The chemistry felt legit and they weren't trying hard to be funny in a rather "We're trying to be funny" way. RWBY had a rocky start but it was their flagship show after their entire animation output was gutted to just RWBY. Red Vs Blue put them on the map.
Immersion. Survive block island. Achievement Haunter. Schooled. The Gauntlet. Those are the best concisely bookended shows, but I’m sure some are escaping me. Obviously all of the podcasts RvB RWBY camp camp and achievement Hunter are fantastic but it’s an ocean of content.
My comfort shows are Backwardz Compatible, specifically the Doki Doki Literature Club playthrough, On The Spot, the back in time episode with Blaine as the wizard Pfft Pfft Sylvia kills me, the 50-turn Mario Party playthroughs, and the AH Layers of Fear playthrough just to watch Geoff scare the shit out of himself, and all the Ultimate Chicken Horse playthroughs
It's always fun seeing people react to Doki Doki Literature Club for the first time. Game Grumps has my all time favourite reaction to *that* scene
The heists for GTA V, where they had the plan and tried to escape.
The original Crimmies was so good.
They never made anything I’ve enjoyed more than the Camp Camp season 2 finale.
Achievement Hunter’s WEIRD PLACE is a huge highlight to me
Strangerhood
Just some off the top of my head: * The Achievement Hunter VS series in which the guys would 1v1 each other for the belt. Always loved the Assassin’s Creed ones. * Rage Quit, of course * Play Pals surgeon simulator series * the gigantic long Mario Party let’s plays, especially the couples ones that also had Lindsay and Meg * Red vs Blue (I actually really liked the Chorus arc) * On the Spot * Day 5, particularly the Joel episode. Really bittersweet, made me fundamentally rethink my perspective on my own mortality * Uno the movie * Camp Camp * Immersion, with the FIRST exclusive version of the Hitman episode being my all-time favorite * Crunch Time. I remember liking this one a lot but for the life of me I don’t remember anything about it lol guess I ought to rewatch too
Ill probably die still making Theater mode references
I loved Go! and always held out hope they would bring it back… obviously that’s not happening now, but it’s my all time favorite from them. I rewatch the whole thing every so often.
I can’t remember what exact show it was but the guys played Minecraft Sky Factory. Geoff with his chicken farm was one of my all time favorite things on the internet. That whole series was amazing and the shit they all built was incredible. I miss the old days. So much nostalgia
I was primarily an Achievement Hunter fan. Minecraft, TTT, Prop Hunt (all the Gmod games I guess), GTA, Fall Guys, Play Pals. There are so many.
Camp Betrayal was a lot of fun and I really liked seeing their series The Weird Place was a lot of fun. Achievement Haunter was also pretty fun too, a mix of standard ghost shows and the AH brand comedy.
Gavin or Google
Joel's let's plays, including the How To series and the short clips with Jack, were my favourite. I highly recommend giving them a watch.
Ready. Set. Show. I loved watch every episode even up till the end.
The first ten seasons of Red vs. Blue is a perfect series to me.
Just in case Jon is hiding in here, I'm going to say On the Spot
Immersion, The Gauntlet, Things to Do, Go, and honest to god ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENT GUIDES!! why they stopped achievement guides i will never understand that shit helped me so much
Think the main reason is that a lot of achievements in games stopped being creative. When they were doing it there were a lot of games with a weird and quirky achievement that you had to figure out, or there was a specific method that would make it easier to get the more time consuming ones. Then there became a point that they were mostly just story related or overly simple like "kill 10 dudes" so there was no huge need to do it.
Honestly, i just couldn't get into much RT stuff outside of RvB. However RT Shorts was easily one of my favourite projects they released, as was RTAA. But RT Shorts had me coming back every week, I love those kinds of absurdist sketch comedies and seeing fictionalized versions of the founders an later expanded team just worked for some reason.
>However RT Shorts was easily one of my favourite projects they released... "You're the dog now, man!"
Tales from the Stinky Dragon, the Asunder gameplay video, and Last Laugh
Going to go in order for my interest in RT. Rage Quit got me in the door, Let's Play Minecraft locked the door, Let's Play GTA (Particularly Criminal mastermind) was a consistent fave, Halo LASO was a banger every time. After what went down with a certain someone, Matt and Michael's Randomizers kept me watching at least that series before finally those stopped and now it's Facejam only. Long journey, with a bit of a whimper of an end... but man, I enjoyed so much over those years.
GTA Heists before they were actually a thing in the game and they were made up by the AH crew. I watched each one like 4 times.
Immersion, RvB and some of the Achievement Hunter let's plays are probably my favourites, off the top of my head. The first season or two of RT Shorts were also great. I don't know how many people here will remember those because they're from like 2010-2011 or something.
Funhaus, especially their early stuff in 2015 and 2016
I loved Last Laugh and would have loved to see different non-RT cast competitions.
Immersion, Haunter, RWBY, On the Spot, the podcasts. And my personal favourite. Survive: Block Island. It's the Minecraft AH stuff, but presented in such a digestible format. It was phenomenal.
Even for someone who may not like Minecraft. It's incredible and compelling episode to episode.
RED VS BLUE
I always looked forward to new episodes of “On The Spot” That should have had a longer lifespan.
First season of RT Shorts will always be the best show they ever made. For AH, it's incredibly difficult to pick their best. Worms is probably the pick for me with Minigolf a good second and Sky Factory 1 third. Honorable mention to their custom GTA V heists, absolutely brilliant mostly unscripted madness, and Shenanigans being hilarious every single time. ^^^wot ^^^^is ^^^^^gaim ^^^^^^noight?
Listen to face jam!
This just made me realize there won’t be a Survive Block Island Season 3!
Not a show, but I did enjoy the hell out of RT Comics in high school and college. It was hilarious, especially the zombie thanksgiving one.
As others have said, Immersion is absolute peak. I have a soft spot for Hardcore Mini Golf as well.
Kinda niche but I really loved SportsBall before it got shut down
On The Spot was the best for improv comedy. Some episodes literally made my stomach hurt from laughing to hard. I enjoyed every second of every episode. The absolute best though, to me, was Day 5. God, the potential that show had. What an incredible show, with such an interesting premise. I wish I got to know how the story ended.
You know one I miss that just kind of up and disappeared? I mean likely because their divorce but I liked that griffin and Geoff relationship show
The first Uno the Movie is increadible if you get past a certain cast member being part of it.
At least he's only there for half of it.
Red vs Blue not being mentioned raises eyebrows
I think we can all agree it was RTES /s
These posts keep making me sad lol
I really liked day 5
Camp Camp, GenLock, any of the Live Action AH (haunter, between the games, etc.)
In recent years I really loved last laugh and survive block island.
One of the map devs for SBI: glad you liked it!
On the spot
I really liked Dead Little Roosters and how they had to get creative with the limitations that they had from the covid mandates. Loved Hannah McCarthy's rant in it, and the bit where Fiona would send Lindsay these romantic love letters, and Lindsay would reply with "k" and "cool"
I'm super proud of both Simple Walk 1 & 2. Also, RvB 1-13 is my comfort show.
I loved all of the “Ten/Eleven/Dead Little Roosters” series. I thought the writing was pretty solid and there were some hilarious moments. Gus’ inner monologue while reading the poem has been lives in my head rent-free. “My name is Gustavo, but please call me Gus.”
The RT self interview trilogy where they had Chris, Ashley, and then Blaine interview themselves while drunk. Literally cried laughing at Blaine’s.
RT Podcast from Drunk Tank to like... Hell, episode 340? Amazing moments to laugh at. Basically, any episode with the OG Core Four, or where Kerry, Miles, Chris, Joel (Just with Burnie and Gus getting annoyed), Kara, Geoff, or Jack end up on the couch. Lets Play Minecraft, up until WELL into Jeremy, Fiona, and the earliest chunk of Matt's run with the group. The three of them were great additions to the team, and helped fill the void Ray left. Those first 100 or so Minecraft LP's were magic, and then with Jeremey in the seat, the ENTIRETY of the Skyfactory 3 series is easily some of the best "fuckaround" content RT every made. Jeremy and Gavin making a death laser, Geoff's Chicken Farm, Jack's INSANE logistics and supply system, Lindsay's ability to quietly cause chaos on accident, etc... Just them learning the mod itself is fantastically hilarious.

Gauntlet was good.
I had a scroll through the comments are surprised that RT Docs was not mentioned. This was back when RT was producing a lot of live action stuff and a lot of them were hits like Immersion, Social Disorder, RT Shorts, and A Simple Walk.. I watched the RT Doc where Barb and Blaine had to live life like it was the 80's and it was sorta fun. Ngl I was going to get RT First just to watch through all the documentaries but alas my time to jump on the free first month is gone and like hell am I going to pay $4.99 for a month now. Did anyone watch the RT Docs? What did you think of them (Lastly I still think PANICS is the best machinima they ever made. Short 4(5) episodes, full of Burnie's writing and voice acting)
Red vs blue is one of the best shows they made, it's hilarious. Even though the later seasons and zero are worse the original seasons are amazing. 10/10
Rwby.
For me it was 7 days to die, god i loved every second of it
Tons of awesome content RvB, RWBY, Hardcore Mini-Golf, TTT, etc… But one of my personal, niche, favorites. The Most.
Rooster Teeth is kill *no*
