    LittleBigPlanet 
  • Everything in the intro, no exception.
    • Their costumes deserve a mention. Emile is playing as "Mustached Shark", Tim is "Victorian Lady Gaga", Jon is our "Mexican Penguin", and Reese? "Patchwork MAH BALLS!"
    • "Everybody dance! Everybody dance!"
  • "MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
    • "Who's 'and'?"
      • THE HORSE CHANNEL
  • AND THE KING OF ALL CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!
  • When they screw around with their costumes. At one point, all of them are covered in horse tails and feathers. There's another time when all of them are wearing hipster glasses, with Emile's on the back of his head.
  • For whatever reason, they're really freaking loud in this Let's Play, randomly screaming whenever they get the chance. This is not a bad thing.
  • Jon trying to put stickers on everything.
  • The Death stats at the end of the first episode. Everyone else who touched water are listed as "drowned." Not Jon, who gets Death Water!.
  • Emile's terrible Stephen Fry impression, which sounds more like a cross between Bane and Scooby-Doo.
  • In the beginning of episode 2, Jon is putting tentacles on everyone. Reese stops him with this:
  • After Jon's Mexican Penguin wins the skateboard race in episode 2:
    Reese: "The Mexicans know how to run for the border!"
    Jon: "Welcome to the insensitive episode of The Runaway Guys."
  • Right after that, Emile mentions how there haven't been any jokes about a girl being in The Runaway Guys. To which Reese responds:
    Reese: "Oh, come on. I'm more masculine than some people in here."
    Emile: "What do you mean by that?!"
  • Jon's Mexican Penguin hanging onto Emile's shark as they swing from rope to rope.
  • In Episode 2, Reese, Emile, and Jon discuss who should step on 2 switches.
    Emile: "Ok, so, stand on this."
    (Emile and Jon stand on the platform)
    Reese: "But then you get the points."
    Jon: "Yeah, that's the trick, so you do this."
    (Nonchalantly whacks Emile off the raised platform)
    Emile: "HEY!"
    Reese: "Hahahaha! I approve!"
  • It easy to miss, but Reese makes a few really bad puns... (such as how Emile "Jumped the Shark", being a shark who's making jumps...) To which Tim replies:
    Tim: "Welp, you truly belong here."
  • In episode 3, Emile fails repeatedly to get an item that requires a difficult jump, then he and Jon argue about how to get it, while in a Meaningful Background Event Tim jumps up and gets it.
  • The Running Gag of Jon claiming penguins are experienced with fire.
  • Emile claims Reese's nationality is "Ballinese".
  • "Sharks are people too, you know!"
  • In episode 3, Reese tells Jon to "get back over the border" when he is the only one left scoring points. Jon then asks "Which one, Canada or Mexico?"
  • Jon yelling "I AM THE PENGUIN KING!"
  • Tim lets a really loud one rip. What sells it is how it derails the commentary for the next thirty seconds.
    Emile (after selecting level): "Oh god... Tim...."
    Jon: "My headache means I can't smell that. I'm so happy right now."
    Reese: "Well, aren't you fortunate?"
    Jon: "I totally am."
    Emile: "You sure are."
    Tim: "Jeez, that's the first time in a while."
    Jon: "First time in a while you farted? 'I have not farted in ages!'"
    Reese: "I do not believe this statement. At all."
  • Jon manages to keep playing a minigame and gather more score bubbles after the other three have died, he's found a technique for dodging the hazards...
  • Jon winning a race and singing a theme song for the Mexican Penguin... to the theme of Star Wars.
    Jon: "Mexico. Mexico number one. Mexico. Mexico Penguin!"
  • At the start of Episode 4, Jon has stuck two gloves on springs on his avatar's head and another on Reese's like a unicorn horn (the "Slap-a-corn", as Reese describes it). He tries to take the latter one off, but Emile starts the level halfway through him doing it, and it ends up looking like it's coming out of Tim's crotch.
  • Emile and Jon argue when attempting to bounce on a platform for collectibles—they both agree that it will only work if one person does it alone, but then insist they should be the one person. Jon solves the problem by slapping Emile into the spikes below.
  • "I'm riding my dog..." (a Call-Back to Reese's own LPs)
  • Jon sticks glasses on a background skeletal character without anyone else noticing, leading to Emile dubbing him "The Dead Hipster".
  • Jon sticks a bunch of dog noses onto both Tim and Emile. Their horrified reaction when one of Emile's dog noses starts blinking is hilarious.
  • Jon sticking a ton of bowties onto Emile.
  • In episode 5, the game trolls them.
    Jon: "Are you in?"
    Emile: "I am in. THERE'S MORE!"
    Jon: (laughs)
    Emile: "The game is trolling us!"
    Jon: "Oh, that's funny. That's actually pretty frigging funny."
    • What makes this even funnier is that they brought this hardship on themselves. There was a lower passage filled with poison gas (Jon even pointed it out) that they could've have dropped the bombs through instead of lifting them around the long, difficult way, yet none of them realize it.
  • At one point, the guys have to keep themselves from falling off a bucking cow. After Tim accidentally kills himself, Jon, as usual, immediately smacks Reese and Emile off to ride it alone.
  • "You were uncomfortably close to her tongue!"
  • The opening to episode 6, where all four just stand there silently... until Jon spawns a giant pair of glasses onto his face.
    Jon: "Deal with it."
    Everyone: *Cracks up*
    Jon: "I can't see! This is the worst idea I've had!"
  • Episode 6, Roller Run - Hard: Close to the beginning, they find a gate, and Jon asks, "How did we get another gate that fast?" 15 seconds later, they've used all their lives and fail out of the level.
    • When they finally beat it, Emile wins completely by accident by grabbing onto Tim's legs and hitting the goal first when he jumps for it.
  • Jon tries to explain a game mechanic during a tense race in front of flaming rollers, only for Emile to talk over him...
    Jon: "Chill, dude, I was just explaining."
    Emile: "Well explain faster!"
    (beat)
    Reese: "EXPLAIN FASTER, POKEY!"
    Jon: "Oh don't you even..."
  • Jon's Insane Troll Logic explanations for the bizarrely unrelated picture icons on the Roller Run level.
  • In The Mines, the Guys platform over a spike pit. Emile, being in the lead, accidentally lands on a switch that triggers an explosion, killing Jon and sending Tim and Reese flying in different directions.
  • In episode 7, Tim quotes Egoraptor's "RIDIN' ON CARS!" Memetic Mutation, and then somehow pronounces the sound of Bill & Ted Air Guitar.
  • They all make a grab for a swing, and end up with Tim hanging onto it and the other three under him holding onto each others' legs.
  • Emile claims he's a clownfish named Marlena.
    • To explain, Emile reads dialogue from a girl at the end of episode 7. This prompts Jon to say "Emile is whatever sex he wants to be." and eventually leads to the above line.
  • After Emile makes some nonsensical comments:
    Emile: "This is how my mind works! I had a Pokémon upbringing!"
    Jon: "...So Pokémon ruined your brain, is what you're saying."
    Emile: "Remember, if you have friendship you'll always be a winner!"
    Jon: "...I see you're coming out of the pony closet."
  • The opening to Episode 8.
    Reese: (Singing) "If you like it, you should've put a ring on it!"
    Jon: (Puts a ton of rings onto Reese) "I REALLY LIKE IT!!!"
  • Emile learns that in Britain, the part of a car called a trunk in America is called a boot. He finds this awesome and spends the next few minutes doing exaggerated Fake Brit impressions where he uses the word.
  • In episode 9, everyone's constant bad attempts at Japanese Ranguage, accents as the level is based on Japan. Followed by Jon singing songs from The Lion King (1994) and Emile saying 'Apparently Japan is in Africa now'.
    • Upon being left alone a second time, Jon sings another Lion King song...with some extra lyrics.
      Jon: "It's a circle of life. It's a wheel of fortune." (Leaps to his death) "It's a leap of faith. Not a good one, though."
    • Other moments include is Tim and Reese singing "Part of your World" and the Runaway Guys trying to sing "Somebody's watching me" at the beginning.
  • Jon tries to take off a badge he put on Reese's (avatar's) face, only to accidentally 'rip part of her face off' instead.
  • Throughout ALL of Episode 10, the Runaway Guys... speaking in British accents... all the way to the end. It has to be seen to be believed!
    • And then at the very end, after they say goodbye...
    Jon: [loudly, no longer accented] "THANK GOD!"
    (everyone laughs)
  • In episode 11, they go back to normal, but Emile decides to just go back to making funny voices immediately, much to Jon's chagrin.
    Emile: [reading a character's dialogue in a bad Indian accent] "Beyond this perilous temple you will find the Great Magician, master of emitters."
    Jon: [while Emile reads] "Really? No. No! "
  • Reese starts to yell "LEEROY JENKINS!" as they set off in a race, only for them all to instantly fall flat on their faces.
  • After they win a collectible that turns out to be a mini-Sackboy your avatar holds, Jon jokes that it's his child and Emile wonders if there's a specific crime for beating someone to death with a baby.
  • Reese starts calling her horse avatar "Secretariat" and "Seabiscuit", leading to this bit of Shaped Like Itself:
    Emile: "Why is he called 'Seabiscuit' anyway?"
    Jon: "Because it's his name!"
  • After Jon uses Lucahjin's real name Risa (abbreviated to 'Reese') and they mention respawning at a gate, Emile puns that Reese's future children should be known as 'Reese-spawn'.
  • The Running Gag that Emile keeps mistakenly saying every level is set in Russia rather than the region where it actually is, then at the end of the episode, they finally get a level that actually is set in Russia.
  • Emile tries to joke about how in a video made in 2008, Jon apologised for two-week video delays, when Jon nowadays rarely puts out videos. Jon says delays still make him angry. This somehow segues into Emile claiming that Jon is only sane because the Runaway Guys provides an outlet for him to let out this rage... on Emile.
  • The first level of episode 12, Jon decides to go back to breaking the game with stickers like in episode 1. By using a gear sticker, he prevents Emile from platforming over an icicle by blocking his vision and causing lag.
    Emile: "Oh my God, Jon!"
    Jon: "What?"
    Emile: "I can't jump because you're slowing down the game!"
    Jon: "I don't know what you're talking about."
    • The big black stickers also get all over the Guys' avatars, making them look like Run–D.M.C. according to Jon, which Emile mishears as "BillyMC".
  • Tim accidentally switches Stephen Fry's voice back on when he hits the wrong button.
  • The Guys play a minigame that involves riding a toboggan, but the toboggan just looks like a featureless platform leading up to something else, so they ALL get caught offguard when it moves away with them on it.
  • When Jon somehow gets stuck on top of the planet Earth design at the end, and the level won't end until he comes down to join the others, he decides to go megalomaniacal:
    Jon: "I AM THE KING OF THE PLANET! THIS GAME DOES NOT END UNLESS I SAY SO! MEXICAN PENGUIN RULES YOU ALL LITTLE CHILDREN! YOU SHALL LISTEN TO HIS COMMANDS THAT THE WORLD IS HIS OYSTER!"
    • And then he ends up falling into the Earth somehow, dies, and is forced down to where the others are. So basically, the game told him to shut up.
    • "This is the LP that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friend!"
  • "YEAH COFFEE! :D"
    • "Less coffee... :("
      Jon: [after removing all the coffee he placed] "Heh, yeah coffee!"
      Emile: "I guess now there's NO coffee!"
      Jon: "Oh, you are not putting that in the video."
      [video ends]

    • When we first see the Sackboys, Jon and Tim have a serious frown on their faces while Emile has a goofy grin with his tongue sticking out and Reese has a sad face.
    • The group's new costumes for each other; Reese is "Blingbotnik", Tim is "Mozart in a fishbowl", Jon is "Steel Thunder", and Emile is the "Frog Fairy".

  • Episode 2: Grappling Hooked
    • Tim's intro song:
      Tim: "A long, long time ago, on a planet far away, these four guys were planning an attack. One had a fishbowl on his head, another looked like Doctor Dread. There was a frog and then an egg. That's where, we found... this toilet."
    • Becomes even funnier when there actually turns out to be a toilet in the level.
    • Emile warns when they get the grappling hooks that this mechanic does not go well with multiplayer. He is repeatedly proved right over the course of the video as everyone keeps grappling each other instead of the anchor points.

  • Episode 3: Day at the Races
    • The Runaway Guys attempt an optional co-operative challenge based on using a switch to make platforms slide in and out of the wall. As a summary/teaser:

    • Jon changes his avatar. Or at least, attempts to.
  • Episode 4: Angela Lansbury
    Reese: "Hey Jon? You will give me an egg."
    • After the Guys get the grabinators, Emile reassures them by saying that they're not as invasive as the grappling hooks and they should have an easier time not killing each other. Guess what ends up happening.

  • Episode 7: Clive Got Sacked
    • Jon's new avatar, "The Phantom of the Anime".

  • Episode 8: Must Be the Shoes!
    • The entire basketball minigame at the start of the episode. Highlights include (but are not limited to):

      • Jon apparently kicking the ball straight into the net.
        Jon: "He's on fire!"
    • The episode has a Running Gag of Jon punching things, at first with a sticker of a fist, then with a stickable object in the shape of a large steel forearm. He starts getting carried away with it, sticking a few metal arms to Emile and Reese, before getting carried away with it at the end and accidentally sticks a metal arm to himself right on his Sackboy's crotch.
    • Jon spots a x2 area, but Tim and Reese have already gone further up in the level, which risks killing Jon by scrolling him offscreen, so he says:
      Jon: "Come on down. You're the next contestant on 'You're going to kill me'."
    • Tim and Reese are the only ones left alive at one point, leading to this:
      Jon: "Go back to the wall of punches and you will bring us back."
      Reese: "Uh... maybe it's our time to shine, Tim and I."
      Jon: "Fair enough."
      Emile: "Alright, go for it. Prove yourself."

    • Emile brings up a story about how they tried to emulate one of the Tom Fawkes animations, only for him to end up ripping his pants.

      Emile: "NO!"
  • Episode 10: I Love Lucy
  • Episode 11: Game Watch

    • Reese's response to Eve (who she insists on calling Shakira) and her comments after they climbed the tree.

      Tim: "You don't even have any arms!"

    • Emile's story about his cat licking his eyeball.
    • Reese struggles on a difficult minigame, resulting in this gem:

    • The ending.
  • Episode 18: Getting to the Higgenbottam of This!
    • Reese makes a pun:
      Emile: "Hop into the foreground."
      Reese: "Get it, the fourground?"

    • Jon once again changing his avatar, Steel Thunder being off on (yet-another) paid vacation. He is "The Unknown Adventurer", which he states is a character from another series in disguise to help in the Cosmic Imagisphere, which Blingbotnik claims to recognize due to two fox tails.

    • In a Call-Back to the very first episode, Reese and Emile realise Moo is in the end credits and are delighted.
    • After the credits has finished rolling, the Guys get an option to replay the entire cutscene, which included the credits for whatever reason. This happens.
      Jon (jokingly): "And now to replay it!"
      Reese: "No, don't. I'm leaving if you do."
      Emile: (hovers over "replay")
      Jon: "Don't you dare. Emile, I was joking."
      Emile: "Lucah, you must feel the pain we felt during Rayman Origins." *presses it*
      Reese: "Don't. I'm leaving if you do! I'm out!"
      Tim: "Goodbye."
      Jon: "He'd better have hit circle. He'd better have hit circle!"
      *Cutscene starts playing.*
      Jon: "He didn't!"
      Emile: "RUN AWAY!"
      Jon: "GET HIM! GET HIM!!"
      * Sounds of Emile fleeing, getting caught, and screaming can be heard in the background.*
