  • Accidental Innuendo:
    • While showing off his long-time mannequin companion/son Joffrey, Wayne put him in a very...unfortunate position.
    • The "You have NO caulk!" moment from the AI-dventure Call stream.
  • Adorkable: Wayne, Scorpy, Holly, Baaulp... it'd be easier to list those who don't count as this, honestly.
    Gir: *gasp* A holiday sweater, YAY!
  • Alternative Character Interpretation: From a fanart standpoint, Scorpy. While the rest of the team has shown their face on-camera and/or created an official persona, Scorpy did neither until his face reveal at the end of his New Years 2021 stream. Thus, fanartists have created a variety of Scorpy "designs," including but not limited to: his Animal Crossing: New Horizons character, a person with a PlayStation logo face, a person with an Xbox logo face, a scorpion person, a baby, a mech piloted by a baby, a person with a TV for a head, or some combination thereof.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The entire Master Mobster sequence from AI Dungeon 2 Multiplayer Part 2. In the middle of a fight with Dracula, our heroes Stingst and Cornelio are suddenly distracted by a mobster who comes speeding into the arena on a motorcycle, firing his Uzi at both Dracula and the heroes. Then, two turns later, he's anticlimactically killed off by Stingst.
    Master Mobster: "ONLY to A LONG ARMS CYCLE EXPERT!"
  • Discredited Meme: Pepper Steak hasn't been donated during a media share stream in quite a long time, thanks to the overexposure during 2020 and 2021 finally wearing people out.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Charlie, the kid that Wayne and crew met in a Rec Room stream. He was only in the stream for about 15 minutes, but his sweet personality and adorable way of talking endeared him instantly to Wayne, his friends, and chat.
    Charlie: Mastew Giw!
    • Mama Bear, Holly's character in AI-dventure Call. Despite being only one of four callers, she became the fan-favorite thanks to her Southern charm and grandmotherly wisdom. She was also the only one of the four to complete her quest. When Holly's unreliable Internet prevented her from accepting Mama Bear's reward for winning, chat was visibly upset.
  • Fan Nickname: Wayne has one in the form of "Wayner", originating from his Twitch emote prefix, which uses the default setting of featuring the first six characters of a channel's name.
  • Friendly Fandoms:
    • With the Vinesauce and Jerma985 fandoms, thanks to the shared bizarre senses of humor and multiple members of the RTVS crew being fans of them.
    • Also with SnapCube and her friends in the ClownHouse Twitch team, since they're all friends and Holly will occasionally stream with them. The similarities between HLVRAI and Real-Time Fandub Games probably add to the overlap as well. Holly is even a member of ClownHouse and the RTFD crew now.
  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • In general, fans of RTVS are very liberal with donations and gift subs. New viewers have been known to mistake smaller RTVS chats for being in sub-only mode, thanks to the fans' generosity.
    • During Wayne's stream of Carrion, a viewer used a donation message to propose to his fiancé, who said yes. Doubles as a funny moment due to Wayne almost messing it up.
    • Later during the same stream, Wayne receives an absolute flood of donations, subscriptions, and gift subs for half an hour. Wayne is so overwhelmed with support that he tears up. This one also doubles as a funny moment due to chat's sheer enthusiasm for pelting Wayne with love until he cries.
  • He Really Can Act:
    • Not to imply that the fanbase questioned his abilities, but many people have praised Wayne's acting skills after his Simpsons VR stream. His horror at being abducted by Homer is considered very convincing, and the follow-up stream goes even further to show off his pain and confusion. Even Scorpy was surprised to hear the terror in Wayne's voice when he heard the video for the first time.
    • Holly also demonstrated her acting abilities during the Simpsons return stream. She genuinely sounded like she was on the verge of tears at Wayne's sorry state.
  • Ho Yay: Occasionally invoked by the crew for comedic effect, such as Wayne and Erarg making out and getting married (three times) in The Sims Online or the kissing in Bullet Roulette VR.
  • LGBT Fanbase: Wayne-and-co have a very notable following of LGBT+ people, thanks to everyone in Radio TV Solutions being accepting of said people and a few members themselves falling under the LGBT+ banner.
  • Moment of Awesome: The Minecraft VR Survive The Night charity stream managed to reach its primary goal of 50,000 USD in 6 hours—bearing in mind, this was 3 hours before the main core of the stream began where Wayne had to survive the night against 30 other players!
  • Memetic Mutation: Members of the team have made many immensely memetic posts prior to becoming well known. There are countless memes that began with a Radio TV Solutions member, but these are just a sampling of the most famous.
    • A clip of Wayne’s fax stream went viral in 2020. In the video, he reveals the truth about the fridge to which he had been attaching viewer-sent faxes for the whole stream.
    • Holly made the “pear wiggler” comment on Tumblr.
    • Baaulp is the OP of the hotdog levitation post on Tumblr. (link)
    • Gir and Scorpy appear as “MasterGir” and “Horatio” in motdef's legendary Moonbase Alpha video (link). Moupi also appears in a later part.
    • Mira made the original “Slayer Gnome” on Tumblr. (link)
    • Erarg is responsible for the popular video "Ryu from Streets™". (link)
    • Wayne, along with Tumblr user pissvortex, made the viral joke that Joe Biden buries dogs alive. For his crimes, Snopes branded him with the title “purveyor of misinformation,” which was in his Twitter name until his abduction at the hands of Homer Simpson. (Snopes article)
    • A fuller list of memes originating from members of the RTVS crew can be found here.
  • Most Wonderful Sound:
    • Many people consider Scorpy's laugh this. Chat frequently calls it "free serotonin."
    • Much the same could be said for Holly's laugh, even (and perhaps especially) on the occasion when her microphone had the gain turned up abnormally high during HLVRAI's Act 2 commentary, "giving [her] too many powers".
  • Retroactive Recognition: As the examples in Memetic Mutation above can testify, the Radio TV Solutions gang has been around on the internet for a long time prior to becoming more well known. Once you've learned who they are, it's quite surprising to know just how many memes they were either involved in or even fully responsible for.
  • The Scrappy: An invoked example with The Lightbulb from Gir's Saturday Night Slamfest Renewal stream, who is instantly boo'd by everyone in the stream call and in the chat whenever he appears. It gets worse when he manages to win against fan-favorites Joffery and Bubby in the three-way free-for-all match.
  • Signature Scene: THERE IS NO FRIDGE from the Fax Stream.
  • Signature Song:
  • Squick: Both the Egg Roulette stream and the AI Cooking streams could count as this for a lot of people, as the former involved Wayne eating a copious amount of raw eggs (including the shell at several points) and the latter involved Wayne cooking meals generated by an AI that didn't actually know what food was... leading to some interesting recipes. And yes, Wayne at least tried to eat the majority of the meals.
  • Tear Jerker: While the video as a whole is one of the funniest streams Wayne and co have ever had, the ending of "Joshie's Day Out"note  , a stream of AI Dungeon 2 where Joshua, Wayne's robot son and iconic Text-To-Speech voice of the stream, was basically put in charge of an entire stream, has a surprisingly tragic ending. As the stream goes on, Joshie gets more and more manic and out-of-control, apparently overheating and melting down, and while it's hilarious all the way through note  eventually it gets to the point where Josh is saying error messages and is barely able to say complete sentences (and says COWBOYS! a lot), so, as Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World" plays, Wayne just tells Josh he's going to "free him."
    Wayne: *picks up and shows an electronic device*
    Joshua: Don't touch that cord.
    Wayne: Josh... It's time for you to go free.
    Joshua: No...
    Wayne: Josh... Every bird has to leave the nest, Josh... (Beat) ...Josh? Josh! Josh...
    Wayne: I love you.
    Joshua: I love you.
