Line 7:
A [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Oregon Trail]]'' by Chewbot, who's known for also creating ''[[The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing]]''.
Cyrus Neckebard, a dimwitted banker, gets swept up in the patriotic dreams of the new frontier and drags his wife and children along on a family road trip to Oregon. Coming along with him is his promiscuous and unhappy wife Susan Neckebard, his piggish and hydrophobic daughter Sarah-Jane, his [[
And it all goes downhill from there.
Line 24:
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: Once the family members start dying off, it gets much more dark.
* [[Chandler's Law]]: The first edition Oregon Trail game is, quite frankly, boring to play and boring to watch. Hence why, whenever things get particularly dull, Chewbot gets a little... ''creative'' with his storytelling, like adding more [[Stuff Blowing Up]]

* [[Chocolate Baby]]: Waffles is black. Susan just convinced Cyrus that this is because he was born with a rare skin condition, and has nothing to do with why the only black guy in town laughs at him when he sees him. {{spoiler|Given that his actual (still non-Cyrus) dad is white, she's telling the truth.}}▼
▲* {{spoiler|[[Convenient Miscarriage]]}}: Though everyone is too distracted by their newfound cocaine addiction to mind.
* [[Determined Homesteader's Wife]]: Susan, who is not going to let a few broke limbs, bullets, or a medical book's worth of illnesses stop her from getting across the country.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Baby attempts to crawl away from the wagon to suffer a more dignified death by being roasted in the sun and devoured by vultures.

* [[Happy Place]]: Every day Sarah-Jane hides under a blanket and tries to sleep and dream about a better place than her own life.
▲* [[
* [[Ho Yay]]: It's implied one of the oxen might have had feelings for the other.
* [[In Memoriam]]: After finishing the story, Chewbot released a music video dedicated to all the family members that couldn't make it to Oregon. It's actually almost pretty emotional.
