History WebVideo / LoadingReadyRun

* ''[[http://loadingreadyrun.com/lrrcasts/archive/bears/ Temple of the Lava Bears]]'' had Graham, James, Kathleen, Paul, and one guest playing through one of Jer's infamously murderous Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. It's over now but has a SpiritualSuccessor in WebOriginal/DiceFriends.

* BackForTheFinale: Many people in ''The [=LoadingReadyRumble=] 2'', the site's final weekly skit after a several-year run. Due to starring numerous past characters from throughout LRR history, this features many real life actors who haven't been seen in LRR content in a long time. This includes, but isn't limited to: Morgan, Tim, Matt, Jer, Tally, Andy, and Dale (and a mention of Bill, though he couldn't appear personally). This also applies to every single fictional character portrayed within, some of whom were one-shots, while others were recurring characters.

* BlatantLies: Better sources for news would in fact have some of the hats Graham Stark has shown on Feed Dump.

* SigningOffCatchPhrase: The Feed Dump host[[note]]originally Graham was the usual host, with some guest-plays by others, but eventually Kathleen became the default host and ended up hosting the most Feed Dumps[[/note]], as discussed above in NiceHat.

* SpinOff: One can argue that Morgan's attempt at creating ''The Whatever Thing'' was, in fact, an ill-thought out yet hilarious spin-off. While brief, it did bring us such joyous experiences as [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/274/panda_porn Panda Porn]] and [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/271/whitey Whitey]].
** Graham later took the format and spun it off (relatively) more successfully into [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/archive/phail/date/desc Phailhaus]]. [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/archive/dump/date/desc Feed Dump]] can be considered a further iteration on the format.

* ''WebOriginal/DiceFriends'': A series of ''D&D'' campaigns.
* The Panalysts: A PanelGame which serves as the successor to Feed Dump, in which the strange news stories are eschewed in favor of going straight for the wild tangential discussions. Kathleen offers deep questions for the discussion of a panel of "experts".

More than just showing off their few previous works, Graham and Paul decided to make new videos. Lots of new videos. Like, one every week. As well as being big geeks, they also make very poor and ambitious decisions. Despite the thoroughly insane schedule they'd set up for themselves, and even though there was work and school to deal with, LRR never missed an update.

* ''[[http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/show/checkpoint Checkpoint]]'': A MockTheNews style fake news show, focused on the video game industry and just dripping with snark. Formerly a show on ''Webcomic/PennyArcade TV'', now streamed live (as PATV no longer hosts 3rd party content).
** Since Penny Arcade stopped supporting third party content at the start of 2014, Checkpoint almost got cancelled, but because some extra money was found in the Kickstarter budget, Checkpoint lives on as Checkpoint Plus, live streamed every Monday at 2:00 PM Pacific, with the video going up on LRR's Youtube page by the next day.

** ''Friday Nights'': Premiered February 23rd 2012, as a spin off from ''WebVideo/CommodoreHustle'', produced in association with Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast and centering on the group's enjoyment of ''MagicTheGathering'' as Paul gets into the game. This had it's own sub-spinoff ''Hero's Path'' about Kathleen going insane over the Theros block.
* ''WebVideo/DesertBusForHope'': A [[{{Telethon}} once-a-year show]] aimed at raising money for ''[[Webcomic/PennyArcade Child's Play]]''. The crew play one incredibly boring videogame non-stop for as long as people will keep on paying them to do it. The most recent iteration took over six ''days''.

* ''[[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escapist-news-network Escapist News Network]]'': The original version of Checkpoint, [[CaptainObvious hosted at]] Website/TheEscapist. Began as a kind of Website/TheOnion style [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snark]] affair, but over time shifted to a more ''Series/MockTheWeek'' boisterous approach when the original approach failed to go over with Website/TheEscapist's audience. Sadly, this style didn't go over much either, and the show was cancelled.

* GroundhogDayLoop: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojrVOgTDUxQ Friday Nights: Time Walking]], Jer obtains a copy of Time Walk for his singleton deck to play against Alex, and whenever he plays it, he finds himself back in his bed at the start of that morning.

* WebVideo/LoadingReadyLive: As part of a stretch goal from the Kickstarter, the team now streams several hours of content a week on Twitch. LRL includes:

** A biweekly talk/variety show, uncreatively titled ''LoadingReadyLive''

* Podcast/{{Qwerpline}}: A fictional community radio broadcast from the town of Nsburg.
* WebOriginal/DiceFriends: A series of D&D campaigns.

* MundaneUtility: The ''Suspiciously Fast Movers'' sketch is about a moving company that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely is ''not'']] using a functioning teleporter to do hundreds of jobs a day after cloning one of them hundreds of times. It definitely isn't the only way they could think of to meet the machine's operating costs. They appear again in ''Staggeringly Fast Loans'' where their financially insolvent payday loan company [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial is definitely not]] a naked attempt to get rid of all the gold their malfunctioning machine is spitting out at an accelerating rate.

** [[FromBadToWorse It's WORSE.]] It constantly turns so you can't take your hands off the controller. And the worst part? If you go off the road, you get towed back to Tuscon, at the same speed: 50 mph...in real time. However, this defeats continuous play, so the crew resets when it happens.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/crapshotvideo Crapshots]]'': Ultra-short comedy videos no longer than one minute. (Okay, ''one'' video ran for 1:01, sue them.) Killed after 104 episodes, then resurrected as a weekly series as part of the LRR Kickstarter.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/5048-Suspiciously-Good-Movers Staggeringly Fast Movers]] are just really fast. They definitely do '''not''' have a teleporter capable of moving your furniture through space and time. And they '''certainly''' don't have a stable wormhole conduit to the Argon Mines of Thelios 5, which would be necessary to power such a device. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Well, they do,]] but [[MundaneUtility they use it for dumping garbage.]]

* ''[[http://loadingreadyrun.com/lrrcasts/archive/bears/ Temple of the Lava Bears]]'' had Graham, James, Kathleen, Paul, and one guest playing through one of Jer's infamously murderous Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. It's over now but the crew has said that they'd like to try to do something similar again some time.

* NiceHat: Graham's sign off for Feed Dump:

* SigningOffCatchPhrase: Graham in Feed Dump, as discussed above in NiceHat.

* ''WebVideo/FeedDump'': Kathleen (or occasionally Graham) plus two (usually) guests discuss weird news items and riff wildly. Showed at ''Website/TheEscapist'' on Wednesdays, but is now hosted on YouTube

* GroundhogDayLoop: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojrVOgTDUxQ Friday Nights: Time Walking]]Jer obtains a copy of Time Walk for his singleton deck to play against Alex, and whenever he plays it, he finds himself back in his bed at the start of that morning.

** ''Friday Nights'': Premiered February 23rd 2012, as a spin off from ''WebVideo/CommodoreHustle'', produced in association with ''WizardsOfTheCoast'' and centering on the group's enjoyment of ''MagicTheGathering'' as Paul gets into the game. This had it's own sub-spinoff ''Hero's Path'' about Kathleen going insane over the Theros block.

* ShoutOut: [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/30/Snakes-on-the-Town Snakes on the Town]] is an episode-long ShoutOut to the movie Film/SnakesOnAPlane.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Kane and Crowthorne of the [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/404/mercenary-solutions Mercenary]] [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/474/Mercenary-Solutions-2 Solutions]] [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/2111-Mercenary-Solutions-3 series]] seem to operate on this logic.

* ''{{Unskippable}}'', hosted on ''Website/TheEscapist'' on Mondays: Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 style snarking over video-game cut scenes, performed by Graham and Paul. A one-off event wherein they did a LetsPlay under the Unskippable moniker would later spawn...

** A more solid example of a spinoff of LRR is {{Unskippable}}, a [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] romp though cutscenes that is hosted on The Escapist (ie: The place where WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation is hosted)
*** The Graham and Paul Let's Plays ([=GPLPs=]) started out as a spin-off of ''{{Unskippable}}''.

* WebOriginal/{{Qwerpline}}: A fictional community radio broadcast from the town of Nsburg.

* WhoWritesThisCrap: Used ''preemptively'' in [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/5088-Formal-Complaint "Formal Complaint"]], which starts with [[HeardAnyGoodJokesLately a Graham walking into a bar... er, bakery]] and asking to [[TitleDrop make a formal complaint]] about the unquality/unoriginality of [[BreakingTheFourthWall the sketch that is about to commence.]] The rest of the sketch is constantly disrupted by his criticisms, and by the other characters' arguments against those criticisms.

* ''[[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escapist-news-network Escapist News Network]]'': The original version of Checkpoint, [[CaptainObvious hosted at]] Website/TheEscapist. Began as a kind of TheOnion style [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snark]] affair, but over time shifted to a more ''Series/MockTheWeek'' boisterous approach when the original approach failed to go over with Website/TheEscapist's audience. Sadly, this style didn't go over much either, and the show was cancelled.

Several months later, when they remembered the idea, they started work on it. After a couple design concepts, they settled on [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/ Loading Ready Run]], inspired in name and appearance by the UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}} home computer system from the '80s. See, they're also big geeks.

In addition, under their Bionic Trousers Media label, the Loading Ready Run crew worked on the web reality shows ''WebVideo/StripSearch'' (in collaboration with ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'') and ''Tabletop Deathmatch'' (in collaboration with TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity). They post miscellaneous bonus videos on their website, do Magic: The Gathering Online drafts biweekly for MtGO Academy, and update '''four''' podcasts in the time left over. Even excluding the series without regular update schedules, they really do have a staggering level of output.

* ActingForTwo: This was often the case in the early days of the site, especially when the only actors were Graham and Paul. In the Loading Ready Rumble (a battle royale of characters from past videos), 25 characters were played by seven people.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/25/The-LoadingReadyRumble Loading Ready Rumble]], JP of 64k says "We already lost our boy C-Unit!" when confronting Jangles and Jones. This foreshadows the [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/118/Those-Games-We-Played next week's video]], where 64k makes a song explaining how they lost their former fourth member Core-Unit to VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft addiction.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Considering how many people were actually around to [[ActingForTwo play them]], the [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/25/The-LoadingReadyRumble Loading Ready Rumble]] counts
