''[=Mega64=]'' is a low-budget (though their budget has increased considerably) SketchComedy series created by and starring Rocco Botte, Derrick Acosta, and Shawn Chatfield. The series started out focusing primarily on skits involving one or more people reenacting video games in real life. Many of ''[=Mega64=]'''s skits can be watched on their [[http://www.youtube.com/user/RoccoB64 YouTube channel]]. However they have started focusing more on the main story and miscellaneous.
The story of ''[=Mega64=]'' centers on Dr. Poque, a MadScientist who creates the ultimate gaming console, the eponymous [=Mega64=]. He kidnaps Rocko Boaty and Derek Ackawzdha and forces them to beta-test the machine. They are soon joined in these tests by Sean Chatfeild, who [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything initially was supposed to deliver e-mails]]. The cast is rounded out by Horatio, Dr. Poque's Mexican roommate who steals everything, and Marcus, a sexist puppet who works for Poque.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Multiple Series]]
* ButtMonkey:
** Dr. Poque.
** Raiden in the skit supplied to the pre-E3 show. Pretty much every single one of his attempted jobs (children's birthday entertainer, plumber, gourmet chef, professional dog walker, town criar, professional skateboarder, breakdancer, and artist, in that order) since his four year unemployment ended up crashing and burning. They eventually [[ThrowTheDogABone Threw the Dog a Bone]] to Raiden with a last-chance job of being a cybernetic private military contractor, where it is implied that he successfully got it.
* CallBack:
** There are many instances in Version 3 that call back to events, characters, or even throwaway gags from the previous two seasons.
** In the skit supplied for the Konami Pre-E3 show, Cyborg Raiden's first attempt at a job since being unemployed for four years was being an entertainer for children's birthday parties, which went just as well as anyone would expect (when trying to cut the cake, he accidentially destroyed the entire table). At the end of the skit, [[VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders Jehuty]] was offered the same job first, only his use of the job was even worse than Raiden's (namely, he terrorized the neighborhood by bombarding it during his "entertainer's duties")
* CringeComedy:
** Some of their public skits, especially the ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'' one.
** Dr Poque's date in "Ode to Sue" could count as this.

** TheBigGuy/ TheSmartGuy: Garrett, the biggest guy who also makes all the special effects.
** TheChick: Shawn, usually the one to be offended by their jokes and tries to keep sanity on the podcast.
* OverlyLongGag:
** The Dead Rising 3 skit goes on for an hour and 8 minutes.
** The first episode of the main show starts with Derek eating pudding for roughly two minutes.
** The ''StarWars: VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXxEHa6ip_Q skit]] qualifies.
** Anytime [[RunningGag Derrick screams.]]
* MusicalEpisode:
** "[=Mega64=]!"
** The 2011 commentary for "Summer Semester" is a 31-minute improvised song; the guys falter a few times but basically make it all the way through, while supplying information the whole time.
* ShoutOut: Many, most of them to video games.
** The title card in "What The Hell Happened To Mega 64?" is based on WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.
** The fake ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' games shown in their fake Assassin's Creed V trailer are named after [[UsefulNotes/PunkRock punk rock]] bands, which is a joke based on [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag Assassin's Creed IV's]] subtitle being "[[Music/BlackFlag Black Flag]]".
* TakeThat:

One was also shown of Jehuty in the ending of the skit, to which Jehuty accepts the job proposal, only for it to cut to him... Well, let's just say that there's a good reason why Jehuty should not be let anywhere near neighborhoods with children celebrating birthday parties.

* PacManFever: In their Nintendo 3DS video, Shawn is clearly playing ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' on an original DS, but mashing buttons (the game exclusively uses the touch screen), and the action they describe is nothing like the game. Justified since the 3DS wasn't actually out at the time the video was made. [[note]]RuleOfFunny also probably applies.[[/note]]

* BaitAndSwitch: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFszV_-ETGc TODD & AARON'S GAME AWARDS 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]], the titular characters give the "Most F***d Up Move By A Game Company Releasing A Game And Then Erasing The Creator's Name From The Package" award to... [[spoiler:The 2015 ''VideoGame/MadMax'' game for erasing Creator/FrankMiller's name]].[[note]]The joke being that it was about the controversy behind Konami forcing Creator/HideoKojima 's name removed from Metal Gear Solid V's cover[[/note]]
* GilliganCut: À la ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', the skit shown at the Pre-E3 show had Raiden, after being suggested several job opportunities to get out of his four year unemployment, shows him bombing his assigned job in various ways. One was also shown of Jehuty in the ending of the skit, to which Jehuty accepts the job proposal, only for it to cut to him... Well, let's just say that there's a good reason why Jehuty should not be let anywhere near neighborhoods with children celebrating birthday parties.
* GroinAttack: In Genital Mutilation Prank (a skit mocking notorious prankster Sam Pepper), Shawn gets "kidnapped" and is threatened to have his penis cut off. It was just a hot dog taped to his pants...

* InternetBackdraft: Parodied in their ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeFederationForce'' video, where they [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE37PplM5ps make fun of some of the more vitriolic responses to the game]], such such people creating a petition to get the game cancelled, or requesting the developers lose their jobs over one game.[[invoked]]
* PacManFever: In their Nintendo 3DS video, Shawn is clearly playing ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' on an original DS, but mashing buttons (the game exclusively uses the touch screen), and the action they describe is nothing like the game. Justified since the 3DS wasn't actually out at the time the video was made. [[note]]RuleOfFunny also probably applies.[[/note]]
* StylisticSuck: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTP0RawPtoM Gamer Warz]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxkYDO9WfYI Gamer Warz 2]] are badly acted, horribly edited, annoyingly shot, the audio goes out of sync, and the second one goes on for 12 minutes. It's also hilarious.
