You thought Uno: The Movie was long?
Uno: Infinite is a Let's Play video by Achievement Hunter where they play Uno. It is a sequel to Uno: The Movie, although it involves everyone from the group, with appearances and support from other members of Rooster Teeth. The full archive of the stream is posted in four parts on the Rooster Teeth website while the YouTube version is one full-length video (under the title of "We Played Uno for Over 37 Hours"
).Like its predecessor, it also has an IMDb page.
Forget a hand, these tropes are decks!
- Absurdly High Level Cap: Non-gameplay example, and replace levels with cards. Unlike on consoles and PC where Uno had a limit to how many cards players could hold, the gang played the game in real life where there were no such rules. At one point everyone had over a hundred cards, and much more later in the round. It got to the point the cards had to be sorted into separate decks of their own.
- Audience Participation: The main mechanic to keep the game going was that members of the livechats were able to buy and gift FIRST subscriptions to non-FIRST members, with players drawing cards for every 10 subscriptions. Naturally, this would incentivize some to save up and gift in bulk, therefore increasing the number of cards drawn. It was noticed in the RT chat that even Chad got in on the gifting, to which most viewers accepted as revenge for AH stealing his desk.
- There was even an accompanying bingo card made by Chelsea and the community for the audience to follow along with.

- Breaking Old Trends: The first two games of Uno were played on consoles. Infinite is played in real life on account of the game being altered with the inclusion of punishment cards and the console/PC versions having a cap limit on how many cards players can hold.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: There was much rejoicing when Alfredo finally won the game and brought the stream to an end...after 37 hours elapsed.
- The Epic: More so than The Movie, which was over two hours long. Infinite is over thirty-seven.
- Extra-Long Episode: Unlike The Movie which was nearly three hours, Infinite is far, far longer. When they played the game on consoles, it only ended when someone got the minimum amount of points to win. When they play Uno at the table, the game only ends when someone wins. Between the punishment cards and everyone having to draw a card for every ten gifted subs from FIRST members, the game lasted 37 AND A HALF HOURS. This actually works against everyone since they have to draw a punishment card for every hour, and some cards can really screw them over. The video itself is so long that Rooster Teeth had to separate it into four different videos on their website while the YouTube video remains uncut. Gavin even wrote this joke in the YouTube comments under his Slow Mo Guys account.Gavin: I'm watching at 0.25x speed for the week-long version.
- Achievement Hunter eventually released a shorter, more manageable version in the form of a three-hour long video, an hour longer than Uno: The Movie.

- Fall of the House of Cards:
- Midway through the game, the discarded cards pile becomes a ridiculously tall and precarious stack. Ky draws a card and places it on the stack, causing it to fall over immediately. She collapses to the floor with an anguished scream, and Geoff comes over to take a picture while Trevor and Lindsay take a selfie with the collapsed stack. She's then punished with a 25-card draw.
- Later in the same shift (with Geoff subbing in for Trevor), the discard pile is smaller but just as precarious. This time, it's Lindsay's turn to cause the stack to fall and get punished with a 25-card draw. The card responsible for this one is a red 5.
- Later still, Geoff is punished with a 25-card draw through no fault of his own. The collapse this time is due to a Gavin-thrown Moon Ball; Geoff was simply the one punished because it was his turn when it happened.
- Guest-Star Party Member:
- Armando from Funhaus joined the game the next day because he had been drunkenly watching from a pool party and mentioned that he would like to join once a certain number of subs was hit. Jack took him up on it and he flew into Austin that day, while hungover.
- Averted with Ify. He FaceTimed Alfredo during the second night and offered to fly in and play if they were still going into the morning, but since it was estimated that they would finish by the time he arrived, he did not join.
- Hope Spot: Midway through the game (namely halfway through the 24th hour), some players get their cards back down into the double digits. Whatever hope they have dwindles the second FIRST gifted subs roll in. At one point, Jeremy almost called Uno after a brief two-minute lightning round, but Larry ended the clock before he could call it, resulting in all the players having to draw 345 more cards. The cards were evenly divided between the four players, with Jeremy getting stuck with the oddball extra likely due to his near-Uno.Larry: (to Jeremy) Did you think you were going home, buddy? Cause you're not! Not yet, you're not!
- Near the end, the gang starts to work together to try and get rid of their immense hands. They start moving quickly, collaborating to make each wild card as useful as possible, stacking the cards so high that they outright topple... Only for some maniac to proceed to gift one thousand subs. This forced everyone to draw one hundred and one cards, essentially undoing all their hard work. Notably, the sheer cruelty of this revelation broke poor BK to the point where she started to sob.
- Jump Scare: Early on during the first several hours of the stream, BK got her hands onto an air horn. She signaled for everyone behind the camera to brace themselves, and when she set it off, caused Gavin to literally jump out of his chair screaming and bang his knee on the table. She also got tackled by Ky for setting it off again and scaring her.
- Lighter and Softer: Despite the game being much different than last time, Jeremy and the others aren't scrambling and fighting each other to end the game since players rotate in and out.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": For the players, the first one was when they were told about three hours in that, due to Rooster Teeth forgetting to tell stream viewers that they have to enter the promo code "UNO" to get the free Rooster Teeth FIRST gift subscriptions for the shirt purchases, everyone who bought a shirt before the announcement of the error getting a free FIRST gift subscription by default. But this also meant that the number of new FIRST subs on stream was going to go up by a lot in a few minutes, and thus, so were the number of cards. The players then try to quickly get rid of as many cards as possible to end the game, only for the sub number to then go up by 1470 subs, meaning that they all had to be given 147 more cards. Each player was given a pre-prepared deck for the addition.
- Pungeon Master: During her shift calling out when the players needed to draw cards, social media assistant Shelby made as many card-related puns as she could. At one point, she made a "baker's dozen" joke that apparently flew over Geoff's head.
- Sequel Non-Entity: For reasons that do not need reiterating here, Ryan Haywood, one of the original players in Uno: The Movie, does not appear in this video.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Plenty, especially when the subs and punishment cards come into play. Michael was not happy when someone gifted over a thousand subs (and bought a lot of shirts) and forced everyone to draw over a hundred cards.
