it’s so wild that they were so excited for gta v without realizing they’d be playing it for the next nine years

[@Lukedan98]

"Don't cut to my screen, ever" - Gavin Free (His capture failed)

I love when a smaller screen pops up, cause you know shit is about to go down.

[@Mike0Temex]

screen by screen play

[@aashir429racer]

***** I love your username and ur comment is awesome.

[@BKADAMSISABOSS]

Why is this comment still getting likes, its been a year

[@michael3597]

+Pethy 00 2 years later, and it hit 200 likes

[@BKADAMSISABOSS]

i love all of you

[@corbynhughes6945]

It’s 2023 and I’m still watching all their old stuff. Literally watch them every night to help me fall asleep

[@independence6761]

Hope all is well. I do the same some nights it’s very addicting

[@Dahnj]

Doing that recently with their mc let’s plays 🥲

[@braxtondavis393]

Fr though

[@malachiemmanuel5342]

Ray notices he doesn't have a front tire. "I don't have a front tire" *back tire pops* "Well this could be a problem"

[@HeartLily]

I loved it when they all bullied Jack and he was just frantically driving back and forth smashing into things.

[@thephilliproom]

These 2012-2014 AH videos just take me back to such a simpler time. I rewatch all the gta/minecraft/Madden/WoW/League episodes theyve done, literally all gold. So sad to see what time has done to the crew. To be able to go back lol

[@Terf1988]

12-14, the Golden AGe

[@CovProdJV]

Couldn't agree more. I almost have to stop watching the old videos or else I get a little depressed at how things have fallen apart.

[@wolf99000]

I really think it was the office back then the smaller room they had helped and for me the best stuff came from there consistently it was so funny

[@bucky13]

I still enjoy new videos with the (mostly) og crew but they're rare.. It's the fact that every video has at least 2 random new people that has put me off lately. That's not what I subscribed for, personally.

[@ijustyap]

@@bucky13 I know what you’re saying lmao, won’t name anybody but yeah it’s rough. I’m trying to like them in the content, but I just can’t man 😭

[@Dynamo_066]

36:25 I love how Jack's bike slides under the bus and Gavin's car rives over it

[@KhalilDashawn]

it was rays car

[@OrbitalBacon357]

Cedric Wyche

[@Michael-fr6lo]

Dont you mean roy

[@Halorulez24]

So we can all agree that GTA IV had better multiplayer games than GTA V right?

[@RecklessSKILLZ10]

True More variety in Gta 5

[@LocalAnonOnTheInternet]

Yes.

[@thavidu78]

+Halorulez24 The only thing that GTA4 had inferior to GTA5 is the physics. The story, multiplayer, and even the map not being too big was so much better.

[@TheHulk1850]

+thavidu78 Nope, gta 4 had better physics too.

[@EdmontonRails]

+Halorulez24 and you dont need to grind missions for weeks to get cool cars

[@leetebbens8858]

“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” Watching this in 2021 at 26 remembering watching ah at 18, and trying to tell myself not to be sad its over but happy that it happened at all. Damn ia that hard though...

[@MM-vs2et]

Right there with ya man. I can't even remember the last time I had no responsibilities, no burdens, no baggage. Then revisiting these old AH episodes just brought me back to those times.

[@Drewcifffer]

Here here. Fresh mid high school, into college just Lets Plays for days. Minimal responsibilities, multiple laughs, everyone seemed happy. Then Ray got bored and from there it was all she wrote.

[@pharaoh8681]

Maan remember getting back as a freshmen from HS excited there was a new AH Lets Play. Miss those days

[@PlatoonGoon]

yep, I have the same thought sometimes...

[@TheHulk1850]

Same here...

[@Call555JackChop]

27:40 this is the day Geoff switched to the gold controller that he would eventually blame all his mini golf woes on

[@omegapiranha]

25:28 I must go, my planet needs me.

[@robenkk]

Omega I watched that bit again, and your comment is now awesome xD

[@WisteriaDrake]

+Omega This is the best comment ever

[@taylorcorbett8848]

I sure hope these videos always stay up

[@randomstuff508]

All of these videos are getting archived, so even if gone from KZbin, they'd still exist

[@Daniel-km1fi]

The year's 2013... I hear the classic intro and see the gta 4 logo .. I hear Ray and Geoff .. Life's good.

[@cptmcnugget6848]

25:51 one of the AH's best moments. that fucking car flying over the hill is the best thing I've ever seen

[@KnightJauneArc]

+Cpt Mcnugget The next best part is that Ray just accepted his fate.

[@jhettgreene8994]

+Cpt Mcnugget Not to mention Ray's utterly deadpan "Oh, fuck me." XD

[@obiigwe2904]

18:30 Ray does some serious front flips. XD

[@yeahme8367]

Back when AH were in their golden era the nostalgia is awesome

[@scj6693]

13:58 I love how Jack goes silent because he's preparing to scream. It's like he knew he was going to almost die.

[@nooransari2302]

Jack: I'm stuck in a hole! Edgar. Always Edgar.

[@sofrech1991]

11:44 "I'M STILL IN THE AIR!!!"

[@james920801]

4:32 Jack's tone of voice 5:46 and 5:49 OMG twice within 5 seconds 12:09 I had an iccident in the ocean & 12:40 14:00 Jack gets angry 15:23 Bonk 16:46 Jack flies again... and lands 18:09 Jack f**** Ray's wall 18:33 Ray's entrance 21:31 Ryan goes over a hill to nowhere... and gets stuck 23:38 Gavin people with cars... 25:38 Gavin thinks he's a bird... 27:01 Ryan rolls into battle, no plan 29:30 Gavin puts Jack out of place 34:35 Controller-switch means players now spawn on top of each other 36:28 Decides to try Kamikaze against the bus

[@brandonaminot8195]

"Get Away From Me"~Ray 2013

[@barbaro267]

36:25: "GavinoFree gouranga'd JackP"

[@GoredonTheDestroyer]

Michael and Ray team name: Team Jersey Shore.

[@speedymolasses3062]

Unless im not getting something(which i probably am)that would only make sense for Michael.Ray is Porturican (i know i spelled that wrong)

[@omarali7605]

or: Team Jersey Border. Because ray is puerto rican and the border... i'm funny...

[@BlackDynamite641]

Team Mad Skillz

Team Just Rage.

[@blakeminnix8265]

Thanks for the laughs in 2019 Old AH crew

[@VernonDraws]

I miss old AH... the only reason i subscribed was for these moments... now i just cringe when i see any of their new stuff

[@RebelScumThis]

shout out to all the kings still watching the old AH stuff nearly 10 years later. we da real ones

[@MrZotteltier]

KZbin recommends me this video every two years or so. I’ll never not watch it again. This is the golden age of AH: 6 idiots, no bs, no annoyances.

[@gameking4984]

Jack crashing into the bus into the last round is amazing One of the best all time AH moments

[@paragonjones13]

5:56 Ok cool, so personal AH mystery solved, when Gavin's capture crashed and we didn't see what happened to him, if you look at the Behind the Scenes of this you can see the capture of his Xbox on his other screen, and he got hit by a car and died at the same time his phone went off. Legend. Thank you Lindsay for getting accidental coverage!

[@Fahrenheitluverxoxo]

In which video is there a behind the scenes of this let’s play from Lindsey?

[@wd-40fan4]

@@Fahrenheitluverxoxo ur mom

[@Nathan_A_RF]

Gavin is just that one guy who does something stupid without even knowing it

[@RS14988]

why, why, why didn't rockstar use gta 4's crash mechanics in gta v? in 4, you can bash your car about until it explodes, if you flip, you don't automatically roll over, if you crash, you can go flying out of your car...its a touch more realistic that 5's method of just dead stop and nothing else really happens

[@GoldenZero98]

RS14988 u can fly out your car in gta5

[@m1ssw1z61]

This is my favourite Let's Play. I come here often for my serotonin dosage.

[@thephilliproom]

rt

[@TheStigHCE09]

I love it how Ryan steps off the bus like nothing happened after it explodes.

[@paytonfontana]

Ahhhhh the good old days

[@danielm6739]

The lost can use the sawed off shotgun while on the bike.

[@paragonjones13]

It's a bit late for that now.

[@danielm6739]

paragonjones13 i know buts its funny how they never use it in any witness protection

[@MrCatsforbrains]

Daniel M That's because its useless.

[@danielm6739]

MrCatsforbrains not really...

[@MrCatsforbrains]

Daniel M It is. It is only effective at extremely close range, which rarely came about. Also, it only holds two shells before reload. The SMG reloads much faster and is more efficient.

[@MacauleyCL]

I miss this content, obviously not RH but the chemistry back then these guys were just gold. The only thing that sorta reminds me of this nowdays is Fuck Face podcast tbh.

[@GraViTyAboVe]

One of the best let's plays of all time.... in my shitty opinion.

[@lukebaino7417]

+GraViTyAboVe definitely not a shitty opinion ;)

[@HuntSD]

I think Mari0 Part 1 was there best.

[@GraViTyAboVe]

+Hunt That's definitely up there.

[@hedgehogger7105]

+HuntSD like actual Mario or a GTA 5 game? Haven't had a game station forever and only owned GTA 5 for like just over a month before my Xbox one got jacked and I never got to play these cool online games

[@unfortunatelyjack772]

+Justin Hillier it is a mix between mario and portal

[@MrRakanMan]

ryan:"i keep pressing y" ray:"y?" was the pun intended we may never know

[@GrouchyGander]

Have you guys ever gone to the glitched out playground with the swingset that sends you flying for miles?

[@TheDarkstar500]

They did that in a Achievement GO! Video... Look it up....

[@GrouchyGander]

Not when you're using that tone!

[@TheDarkstar500]

No like its titles GO! In capital letters :P

[@ThatMinecraftNoob23]

TEAMWORK!! TEAMWORK!!

[@joshuatimmer6166]

They missed a chance to call it Witless Protection.

[@toymaster40]

GODDAMMIT BARBRA!

[@corbinselanne7990]

Can i leave the witless box now?

[@garrettlivingstontm1404]

I don't get it, Gavin, Ray and Michael can take full head on collisions to their bikes and barely get hurt, but Geoff and Ryan can die on Mailboxes and Trashcans. 😐

[@Tommy-lt4so]

Science.

[@Djgamer108]

Because reasons

[@godzeka]

Ray and Michael I can't explain but Gavin doesn't really have much brain to damage.

[@waubadoo]

LawlCats Mcgee GTA logic

[@kellopollo]

LawlCats Mcgee Gavin and Ray are super heros and Michael is Mogar, You can't expect them to go down easily.

[@History1986]

It pains me to listen to how happy they were back then. It’s 2024 now and this was my golden age. Before the fall, before the betrayals. They were happy and brought so much joy to so many.

[@DrunkUncle1917]

Witness protection for what? No one was convicted of anything

[@redhare57]

This is probably one of the best GTA Let's Play

[@IDKman555]

Man 8 years later, GTA 5 has staying power. Older GTA with Lads and Gents are the best days of Lets play.

[@brandongrande9200]

13:58 Jack: "Looks like Gavin team off---AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! LOOK OUT JESUS!!"

[@DillonIvy]

That front flip tho..

[@remberjonesy5141]

"I died in a garbage can!" And suddenly Oscar the Grouch has homicidal urges.

[@benschumm4378]

31:05 "I died on a garberge can!"

[@sharksfan2041]

What is the "can't stop the bus" thing that Ray & Gavin kept referring to?

[@Dragoon1809]

Incubus

[@battleblaster4203]

0:16 really just put the age into perspective

[@killjoys7000]

They need witness protection in gta V

[@tylerm7126]

+killjoys7000 and an official cops and crooks

[@Skywritersynkro]

+killjoys7000 thats kinda what hunting pack is in a way

[@killjoys7000]

Ben Hill yeah. well that comment was in july lol. bout time.

[@gageharrington3961]

+Ben Hill not really ,you don't stop, you don't let prisoners off the bus, you can't shoot there are a lot of things different it's nothing like it :/

[@Skywritersynkro]

Gage Harrington I guess yeah... there was that versus mission in early times of GTA 5, the goal was very similar to witprec, but I dont know what its called or anything

[@aarontrimble7609]

I think the problem with Geoff was he was the bus driver so he get's a de-buff that's only a theory

[@braxtondavis393]

A game theory?

[@hibryd1]

Omg right at the end... "GAVIN GAVIN GAVIN!! AHHHHHHHHHH"

[@__skillz]

This is why Ray actually left: He was afraid that all of RoosterTeeth would take their anger out on him after he bashed Incubus.

[@Pewling]

Did Michael slap Gavin again? o_o I heard a smacking sound after he parked the car under the bus around 34ish..

[@theenclave6291]

Witness protection for what nobody was convicted of anything!

[@MSNDBZ24]

man, GTA V is good, but this game's online is so much better!

[@KingRockhammer]

They need to put Cops n' Crooks into GTA V...

[@KingRockhammer]

This is true, I've actually got bored of GTA V Online myself...

[@connorcalder8191]

***** If you do some of the stuff that these guys do trust me it does not get boring, imagine planning your own heist on a store with your friends it is one of the best things i've done in a long time

[@Kyle-fy1tb]

***** Free play in IV was pretty much unplayable to me. Not sure if anybody else had this problem but every single random person I ran into was either killing everyone he/she could for fun, or a hacker that did the same thing except with hacks.

[@QaRajhCreations]

I write from the future... The connection on GTA V online IS now better. People are toxic as heck though.

[@JasonAhl]

This is one of the best AH videos of all time

[@AllyOJustice]

12:37 Gavin Free saves the day again!

[@ShapeshifterRoxy]

12:39 u mean

[@shannoncooke771]

All these GTA IV letsplays are so good to come back to :)

[@TrantaLocked]

Gotta be honest, some of the GTA IV let's plays are the funniest gaming videos on the internet. I am so grateful a team like this exists to give us content for free. They deserve every bit of success they get back.

[@yourunclesteve3315]

Every once in a while I come back to this video and it never lets me down :)

[@usedoxygen5690]

15:35 the irony

[@connorsloan5187]

Michael's car was either having sex or being a kamicarze

[@Agra3l]

Man, just hearing Ray trying to tell the other guys he did a front-flip at 9:00 and being muffled by all the screaming made my day =))

[@grandadmiralthrawn92]

surprisingly, not the disaster most of us were expecting and/or hoping for

I wish that Gavin's recording didn't spoil

[@Aberman1]

This is where Ryan got his inspiration for Edgar

[@robertelmore3616]

[@xXMarcoXCastillo]

Ahh. I miss these days, when no one whined about who was or wasn't playing ....

[@adhamyousry3017]

xXMarcoXCastillo That's because the players were all liked.

Ragnurhelgon, these guys are good here and Fiona came in a bit too hard but they all have their places. I think everyone is dope in their own way like it’s awesome to make fun of Matt. Fiona is almost like a female Alfredo.

36:24 Poor Jack. But freaking hilarious!!!!

[@_MrStarYT]

37:36 - 37:39: PISSED LAUGHING!

[@Bigfoot42794]

I want you all to pay attention to Jack's crash at 36:25. He hit the bus so hard that his bike slid underneath the bus, hit Ray's car on the other side of the road, and went underneath his car as well.

[@DMXREAPERZZZ]

by far their best let's play ever

[@TheIacobus]

i love how rockstar didnt even finish the textures in that existential void Jack fell into

[@Crantr0n]

Livarch Decrossenburg Are you sure you responded to the right person? He just made a comment about where Jack was. That isn't even an opinion....

[@Rickthedino1]

Sophosleygh I think you should say sorry to him, he should be able to speak his mind without be ridiculed. Assbutt.

[@Crantr0n]

I mean, I'm sorry if I offended you somehow, I was just wondering what sparked your seemingly intense hatred for a joke..

[@AllistarSmythe]

Ray is probably my favorite

[@andrewdowell2663]

Also, wow, I know Gavin can do some dumb stuff now, but this and Cops and Crooks is another level

[@wolf99000]

That last 5 mins of Gavin driving the bus is some great stuff form Jacks suicide mission into the bus to Gavin giving Michael a workout at the end class stuff

[@Dunkiep8]

Ray: "You bonked me in the face." Gavin: "Here come the lads from mars!" X-RAY and VAV are awesome

[@travisshannon9831]

Who’s going back and watching these in 2020

[@thephilliproom]

2021

[@allegedlymichael8934]

The only bad thing about this game mode was the fact that the first two witnesses don’t matter at all as the last one is worth their combined total.

[@joeyjblack]

Man I love this group
