The Weirdest RLM Game Show

 This idea for a video, particularly in the context of Red Letter Media, makes absolutely no sense. It's a testament to the charm and skill of the channel that they can make it work.


And now a personal story (spoilers for the end of the video).

In High School, going through the halls, I became acutely aware of this dude who would always be surrounded by a group of girls. It was quite a mystery, and in fact an injustice, when I looked at him and considered that there was absolutely nothing about him that should really warrant this kind of attention.  But the daily walking paths to class are set and regular and this phenomenon was confirmed over and over. Spurred by jealousy and curiosity, I looked at him and the situation trying to figure out his secret. I think it was much later, probably years later that I found out that the dude was the drummer for The Bloodhound Gang.

I'd like to think that going to the same high school as... the drummer... for The Bloodhound Gang is the weakest claim to fame in the world - especially when you consider that they've had multiple drummers. But maybe having the weakest claim to fame in the world is itself a claim to fame? No, it's nothing.
