Associated Shows: Unskippable: Let's Play, Running Start
“ People confused about Graham Stark's appearance at the start of this video obviously don't watch Unskippable and for that I pity them. ”
- Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw in his review of Halo Wars

Unskippable is a video series by Paul and Graham on The Escapist that involves the two hosts commenting and responding to video game cutscenes. Once, they broadcasted their antics live on an Unskippable: Let's Play, which gave rise to Graham & Paul Let's Play.

On July 13, 2022 it was announced that Bionic Trousers Media had reacquired the ownership and rights to Unskippable and the entire archive. This meant that the original episodes could be re-uploaded in higher resolution; unless the original cutscene is lower resolution in which case, you get what you get. Some of the cutscene footage has also been rerecorded for better quality.

Unskippable: Let's Play

Recurring Gags

Eyebrows and the Thugs

#top

A professional contemporary light jazz band consisting of the thugs from The Getaway. They haven't been referenced since the 25th episode, Haze.

Instances:

Russell the Crow

#top

When a crow or raven appears in a cutscene (a frequent occurence!), its name is Russell... Russell the Crow.

Instances:

That Was the N-th Time I Died

#top

At the beginning of The Darkness, the main character mentions that "That was the first time I died," something Graham repeats at the end of the cutscene. In subsequent episodes, if it looks like the main character dies in the scene, Graham will say "And that was the N-th time I died." This joke has been referenced 15 times, and used 12 times (not counting Lost Odyssey, where it was rescinded).
