Gabe Newell Gave Me Brainworms

1st tier is self explanatory its all the stuff rtvs is known for

1.5 having "wayne is not his real name" is kind of a joke because that fact repeatedly surprises people in chat every once in a while. addendum for the "lore" of that being that wayne just used a picture of wayne brady as a profile pic on steam when he was a teen and it led to people calling him wayne as a nickname, thus leading to his current username

tier 2:

where do we begin: THE rtvs podcast. i feel like everyone knows about it but also i see people being surprised that they have a podcast so it wasnt quite fit for tier 1

pol martin: and his microwave cooking, born of various vhs viewingz

balls cam: the reoccurring joke of "when will wayneradiotv do a balls cam?"

jazz is a misogynist: refers to the fact that wayne's pet bird jazz hates it when women are in wayne's house and is violent towards them, leading to wayne deciding that jazz is either a misogynist or simply a gay bird

summoning demons: the channel point reaction available on wayne's channel. it has not been noticed much as of late but isn't really a deep cut so it goes here

is baaulp even gay? is he?

fester's quest: stream that wayne did right before covid hit worldwide where he dressed up as uncle fester, raced an uncle fester game against trog, and promoted head and shoulders in an actual sponsorship

butler sir obsession: reoccurring jokes courtesy of moupi

cyberkidz: a potentially european "lost media" show that rtvs did a full viewing of in the series not for broadcast. here is part 1

slog: fucked up ai copy of trog's voice introduced in the behind the scenes for the gnome streams. example of him.

pjackk cooking rtvs dogs: he used to do this a lot

BBVRAI: refers to the breaking bad but the ai is self aware stream, which was intentionally vague to serve as a hlvrai 2 tease. once the stream actually started people got very mad especially redditors and it was funny. and then they announced hlvrai 2 anyway

tier 3:

a.i.ron chef: classic wayne stream. heres a lovely edit by user lokos

scorpy face reveal gaslighting incident: oh boy. basically during the first cyberkidz stream, there was an extra account that popped up in the call midway through, which started playing a low quality video of a mysterious man eating soup or cereal or something. this ended up being scorpy, who did a face reveal like a few days later to confirm it was him, but during the cyberkidz stream specifically nobody acknowledged him. people in chat started to freak out thinking there was a hacker in the call or some shit, and once it was revealed it was scorpy, people got mad at rtvs for doing a bit where they simply pretended to be oblivious about something. i remember some people saying it was traumatising and that rtvs was gaslighting them. this was during the back end of 2020, which is why this was discourse at all

wayne nudist run: the end of the wayneremembrance stream. the actual deep lore here is the fact that for months wayne had talked about getting ready to move out, and throughout the remembrance stream, acted as though he hadnt yet. this was setup for the end of the stream which features him running in a fake naked suit outside his new house in the empty streets of texas in the middle of the night. i actually regret not titling this one "#whitemanlostintexas", a tag that briefly trended on twitter after this happened. people also got mad about this trending if i remember correctly.

markiplier is a leech: references the fact that markiplier once used wayne's fallout 4 video in a try not to laugh challenge without crediting wayne. and he didnt even laugh at the video. thus, there is a blood feud between the two.

when will wayne finish LISA?: was a joke for a while after wayne never finished streaming the famed rpgmaker title, after he had promised to finish it. people sometimes bring it up in chat like years after as a joke.

rtvs lives: the series trog hosts sometimes

bardin: refers to this song which would get mediashared on some of the later ai dungeon streams quite frequently

chocolate isn't candy: a debate between mira and wayne that originated long before the chuck e cheese debate. put a pin in this one.

tv head scorpy: referring to the typical depiction of scorpy before his face reveal

caine dansand: one of wayne's alerts, a video of a dogy. fun fact: the title is romanian and translates to "dog dancing to manele LOL" manele being a romanian music genre

mariobluegloves.info: i was about to link it until i realised that the site is now dead! it WAS a site of various images of mario with blue gloves featuring very vibrant css

sout park theme song: wayne is the noah in this screenshot

oh its nemo: refers to a story wayne has told on stream at least 4 times where as a child he was at a friend's house and was at the computer, where said friend's mom was checking emails. she clicked on a slideshow of baby pictures with random red dots on the images and the final image was one of nemo from finding nemo with a dot in his eye, which when clicked, led to a screamer of the girl from the exorcist. wayne cites this as his reason for despising screamers as a very scared child

erarg is ryu from streets: referencing this video

waynerpiss saga: referring to twitch banning his piss emote. i am pretty sure it still exists on his channel, simply reversed to read "ssip" nowadays, which was perfectly acceptable to the same twitch moderation that banned the piss sign

tier 3.5:

ytp forums backstory + baaulp keysmash: covered in wdwb episode 5 questions segment — basically just how most people in rtvs met. baaulp keysmashed all his usernames as a teen and "baaulp" happened to be the one he used on said forums

tier 4:

awooga: refers to an alert either gir or scorpy (both i think, actually) had for a period of time that was a recording of lauren going "awooga" on loop that increasingly got louder

donkey factory: video that cannot be referenced on twitch.

human dog keychain: status symbols of the radio and tv

bound to mine: wayne's musical masterpiece which is unlisted on his channel, for some reason. here's the link.

moupi is an english major: explained in the behind the scenes gnome vids stream

the gorilla seems a little stressed out: wayne accidentally triggers his kingdom hearts soundboard while he is acting as a monkey, and it makes him cry. its good

pepper steak: the song from off, a frequent mediashare in the summer of 2020

do you like games?: dead rtvs podcast that got 2 episodes. i think you can listen to it on any place that has the normal wdwb podcast listing. logmore makes a great joke about the band DEVO being buried at E3

woods stream: term used to refer to a hypothetical livestream of hiking in the woods

moupi streams: old streams moupi did that were very compressed and slow on account of his terrible computer. here i will also shout out the ouyster stream he did after hacking scorpy's channel for real

joffrey: wayne's lost son, part of many old streams

headhunter's iliad: comic logmore made as an entry for a contest, which you can read in full here

hatsune mira: before mimi mira was often represented as hatsune miku in fanart, upon her own request

amazon dark stream: please watch this edit of it. its one of my favorite rtvs videos in the world and nobody knows about it. the artistic process behind it is covered in wayneremembrance i think

gordon ramsay audio sting

baaulp's meat room: the guest bedroom in baaulp's house that is apparently very cold with a very tough bed. it has earned the nickname "the meat room" on account of. seeming more befitting for meat than a human being. i forget if there's also a story about his family actually keeping meat in there or if that was just a joke someone made about it. i think it's explained during one of the chulip streams

tier 5:

the pope: figure from rtvs past. old man with a job who hung out with rtvs as teens and bought them steam games. there was apparently an incident involving this guy's credit card. i think this is the most anyone knows about 'the pope'

wayne anti-italian sentiments: saying an uncouth word

pig fetish asks: this explains itself. theres other posts around featuring other responses.

gnome series title change: pretty sure it went through at least two changes? it was initially titled "half life alyx but the gnome is self aware" and wayne changed it to better hit the youtube algo

i am a poop streamer: german man who was streaming from his xbox had tts on and rtvs found his stream and started spamming things in his chat. this man had the option to turn this setting off at any time. he did not. view the experience here

gamesir: this being so low is a recency bias thing actually pardon me. anyway i think wayne explained he bought one of these gamesir things to play splatoon better because he could not beat children at it normally

trog clone hero streams + log art streams: genre of streams done back around 2020, which i put mostly as nostalgiabait for myself

xbox/playstation scorpy: before tv head scorpy we had console themed scorpy and i think one person drew nsfw art of him within this context. yet again 2020 was a strange time

tom and jerry hottest sex scene gaslighting: similar to the scorpy face reveal one, wayne played this video over an ad which "spontaneously" played over one of his ai dungeon streams and he played it off obliviously. people in chat got mad at him and called it gaslighting

rtvs hall of fame document vandlism: see for yourself

mira's podcast: another dark horse favorite of mine. remember the chocolate is candy thing? this is that discussion.

tier 6:

for the first one copying my tags from eaerlier

benrey makeship controversy: very briefly. during the benrey plushie campaign a bunch of people got mad at wayne for partnering with makeship which at the time i think had weird alternate history plushies from another creator on its site and people got very mad about that with some people calling wayne fash for it. yet again 2020 times

you're making sony vegas lag: this is explained in an rtvs lives and the original sekiro chuck e cheese stream. cant be assed to find a timestamp ill do it later but this involves ytp steam chat spam and a "notable pooper" getting mad at rtvs for said spam

caveman arg: this is covered in wayneremembrance, basically there was a little arg wayne did to set up gub gar

homestuck adult fanfiction: video frequently referenced by rtvs, which gets stuck in my head regularly

can baaulp say gringo?: baaulp once said the word gringo to refer to white people and this started up discourse about a) whether baaulp was white b) whether he was allowed to say gringo c) if it was offensive that he said gringo and i think there was like a callout post against him made for this

wayneradiotv is too woke: yet again explained in wayneremembrance, basically a bunch of people made fun of wayne and were like praying for his twitch downfall because he wasnt bigoted enough. very early on in his twitch career

honorary mention of things i wanted to add but forgot:

wayne utauloid that used custom voice samples

wayne's polish ancestry

log is his real name

who woulge being a holly post

scorpy's rocco botte obsession

the microsoft zune

This took me like 9 hours and I hate the shading but whatever it's still came out good

The bartender asks: "Caw caw, caw caw?"
