''[http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRunawayGuys 'The Runaway Guys]''' are a collaborative group of [[Let's Play|Let's Players]] on [[YouTube]], comprising probably ''the'' most popular YouTube LPers: [[Proton Jon]], [[Nintendo Capri Sun]], and [[Chuggaaconroy]]. Chugga is in charge of maintaining the channel, although Jon has made posts and comments for the channel as well. Updates are scheduled to occur every Saturday, though this may change for future LP's.
 
Their first collaborative Let's Play is of the original ''[[Mario Party]]'', recorded when they attended Magfest 2011. It premiered February 5, 2011. The three of them were the only ones participating, and they promised more in the future with [[Special Guest|additional players]] beyond the core three.
Line 19:
 
At PAX East 2012, they had their own panel, called ''Thrown Controllers'', a competition in the style of Nick Arcade. Two teams (Team Mario and Team Sonic) take turns answering questions and playing video game challenges, either against each other, solo, or against members of the audience. The final, decisive game was a round of Pong, which was won by {{spoiler|Team Mario}}.
 
Their [[YouTube]] channel can be found [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRunawayGuys here].
 
They have a [[Shout-Out]] page [[The Runaway Guys/Shout Out|here]] and a Character Sheet [[The Runaway Guys/Characters|here]]. A [[Ho Yay]] page [[The Runaway Guys/Ho Yay|here]], and an [[Epic Fail]] page [[The Runaway Guys/Epic Fail|here]].

'''Tournaments:'''
Line 51 ⟶ 90:
** Luigi's Engine Room, episode 1 ~ 7:33 probably has the biggest one in the series, so loud ''they had to turn the volume down'':
{{quote|'''Jon:''' '''''YEAH!!! YEAH! SUCK IT!'''''}}
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: Emile and Jon respectively.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: NCS. If something bad is going to happen to someone, it's probably going to be him. So much so that the others seem kind of protective of him, and avoid picking on him whilst bickering amongst themselves. What's strange about this is that Tim has, in the past, proven himself MORE than a capable gamer with challenges like the swordless or 3-heart runs of The Legend of Zelda.
** An excellent example of this is part one of Mystery Land in the Mario Party 2 LP. He actually manages to get lucky enough to have more coins than anyone else... and then, due to [[Luck-Based Mission|A Day At The Races]] and Chance Time, [[Yank the Dog's Chain|he goes from over 80 coins to]] '''[[Yank the Dog's Chain|one.]]'''
Line 65 ⟶ 105:
* [[Colbert Bump]]: [[Josh Jepson]] saw a lot more publicity following his appearance in the [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] LP.
** Several LPer's look to be seeing the same perks with the Brawl tournament. They even get little bios of what they LP for the viewers.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Jon.
* [[Freudian Trio]]: Tim's ego, Emile's id, Jon's superego.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Just as bad as in Chuggaa's solo videos. To Tim and Jon's eternal pain.
** When Jon makes one in episode 5, Chugga immediately calls him on it .

** In Episode 9 of [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]], there is a pun-off.
** Not from one of their official LP's, but it needs to be mentioned. From [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20200328042529/https://www.justintwitch.tv/fangamer/b/288157069 this livestream] of Super Mario RPG (Jon playing, Chugga and Tim watching):
