The crew made their own videos and YouTube channels and encouraged fans to spread them around the Internet to see if any would go viral. Each entry touches on themes of widespread viral videos. Epic Nunchuck Fail (pictured) was the most successful, accruing half a million views and making appearances in mainstream media.

Metal Gear August is the title of the five-part Unskippable miniseries that ran in August 2009. Metal Gear Solid 4's notoriously long opening cutscene had been requested numerous times by fans. Graham and Paul decided to split the cutscene into five separate episodes to do it justice. It was the first series of episodes dedicated to a single game, paving the way for several other multi-episode entries.

The Idiot Room was a video podcast produced by Graham and his coworkers in the Victoria marketing department of Pixpo (now Mixpo) during the summer of 2006.

Graham often played the straight man to the bizarre antics and Jackass-style misbehavior of Aidan and Trenton. The Idiot Room introduced the Word of the Day segment that would later be reused in the Phailhaüs.

Spot the Dog is a ceramic figurine of a dog that the crew has placed in the background of videos. He started appearing in Season 5, but until his prominent appearance in Reality Tear in Season 8, it wasn't known outside the crew that his appearances were a deliberate joke. Finding Spot in the background of videos has become an alternate reality game.
Spot has no spots.
