The Talkies Crew is a group of people that make Let's Plays. The hosts apparently plan to eventually post some "Let's Watch" video series.

The three main hosts of the show, according to Word of God, are Mike, Nick, and Cody. Other people have appeared on the show, including: Erin, "Fucking" Josh "Firearms" Patrick, and Phelan.

They are loud, rude, nerdy, uncouth, offensive, talkative, and (debateably) funny.

You can find their YouTube channel here.

Games or Movies The Talkies Crew has featured:

• A series of excerpts from games like Super Mario 64, Pilot Wings 64, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Banjo-Kazooie, and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.
• Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
• Perfect Dark
• Forest Of Death (upcoming)
• Mirrors 2 (upcoming)
• Bone Eater (upcoming)
• Chill (upcoming)

The Talkies Crew provides examples of the following tropes:

• Acceptable Targets: Have stated more than once that they view everything and everybody as an acceptable target, including African Americans, the Pope, humanity as a collective, and penguins.

"We here at Talkies do not condone the practice of racism. We do however think that pretending to be racist is really funny."

• Arc Fatigue: The final mission of their Perfect Dark LP, which borders on abusively long due to Cody having forgotten how to complete the mission objectives.
• Awesome McCoolname: "Fucking" Josh "Firearms" Patrick!
• Beat Panel: It's video equivalent occurs after this exchange:

Cody: [The Pilot Wings glider] controls like a grandma. Mike: What, it's wrinkly and old and you kinda wanna have sex with it? (Beat) Erin: So, uh... it was nice seein' you, uh, Su-chin.

• Ending Fatigue: The aforementioned Perfect Dark LP's "Mission 17."

• Fan Nickname: They call the little girl's shadow in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories "Ghost Bitch" and "Shadow Bitch" interchangeably.

"It wasn't a coloring book, it was a Pokémon book, there's a difference!"

• Incredibly Lame Pun: During a Banjo-Kazooie segment of one of their "N64 Grab Bag" videos:

Cody: Ah! Ah! Wait, Mike! Do a BEAR-ell roll! Mike: Kill me. Kill me now! (Beat) Cody: A BEAR-ell roll! Erin: It is not funnier a second time, Cody!

Cody: No, Ganondorf, don't mess up my wet dream! (Beat) Cody: Get it? 'Cause it's raining? Erin: I got it Cody, I was there.
