TheRunawayGuys - Lord Dona'tor & the Lamp

[@Aster_Iris]

Local man in a bathrobe holds bipolar lamp for ransom.

[@JXDemon21]

I love how that entire Lord Dona'tor thing was improvised on stream.

[@Indeside]

JXDemon21 i still wonder why tom had that robe

[@imaginaryboy2000]

The Indeside That was Lord Dona'tor you fool

[@SuperGoker64]

How do we know Lord Donator really is Tom? Let's look at the facts: earlier in the weekend, Lord Donator himself wrote out the sign you see at the bottom-middle of the screen at 13:33, spelling it as "Donator". However, Tom spelled his name as "Dona'tor" on Twitter. You'd think someone with an alias would be able to spell said alias's name correctly. We also know that Sith can use a Force power called "Qâzoi Kyantuska", which is used to control others' minds. Judging by Lord Donator's actions with the lamp, he more likely would be a Sith than a Jedi. Therefore, it is not out of the realm of possibility that the real Lord Donator temporarily took over Tom's mind and had Tom act in his place in order to hide his true identity. Inb4 I get accused of being Lord Donator *XD*

[@SamTheMarioMan]

@@SuperGoker64 In that case, Lord Dona'tor's true identity... is YOU!!! *dramatically points to NintendoCapriSun* And I have evidence too! Lord Dona'tor's appearance at 8:47: Tim was staring forward the whole time. Was he concentrating on the game, or was he concentrating his mind on Tom?? Lord Dona'tor's appearance at 11:04: Tim wasn't on the screen at all, making it easy for him to control Tom's mind without being spotted! Lord Dona'tor's final appearance, at 14:52: Tim didn't say a word, and he didn't show any signs of surprise when Dona'tor's identity was revealed... because he already knew it was poor Tom under there!!

[@fireblast8972]

Twitch charity streams, where several thousands of dollars can be gathered just by turning a lamp on and off, then even more on top of that for them to bring back said lamp

[@greninjaman7241]

4:18 I guess it's called... Midna's LAMP-ent! I'll see myself out.

[@cjvs1604]

MIDNAAAAAAAAAA T_T

[@verdethestarwarrior1088]

Should've known that would be Midna's favorite Pokémon. Wonder if there's any fanart of that

[@uberlord983]

Is it sad I also thought of that on the spot?

[@AzureMoebius22]

I’ll die laughing if they start worshipping a chandelier next TRGColo

[@Ryan619107]

It’s hard to believe #AllHailTheMightyLamp originally stemmed from a random event in Stephen’s Sims 3 playthrough years ago. And it raised thousands of dollars for charity.

[@BigFearedBalloon]

Then it evolved into Stephen using the Lamp in Legend of Zelda Four Swords and now this.

[@kaelin_cherise]

Are we going to ignore that Tabatha killed her lord and savior? The lamp?

[@BigFearedBalloon]

Tabitha hasn't killed the lamp (at least not the original). Though she has killed multiple people for the lamp.

[@kaelin_cherise]

@@BigFearedBalloon the donator that turned the lamp off was named Tabatha

[@kaelin_cherise]

@@BigFearedBalloon one of the donators that turned the lamp off entered their name as Tabatha

[@MissileKiller]

“110.37” Save a life while killing a life in the process.

[@theguyman256]

Ayy

[@velvetvessel]

...oooooooooooooh Danganronpa

[@icyspy2936]

Lord Dona'tor is Leon?

[@lucario774pika]

I love how tom just runs away after being unmasked.

[@SuperGoker64]

I still spell it as "Donator", because that's how he himself spelled his name on the sign he wrote, which is visible at 13:33

[@andrewlay2792]

3:30 He donated $110.37 That's a Danganronpa reference

[@Bloxmon-dk1ms]

Andrew Lay aye

[@Arkegox]

More like... Leon Ku-Watt-a

[@sparkytlg3732]

ISNT THAT RIGHT LEON

[@elvinthegengar6083]

Im dumb i thought someone said something then i noticed

[@theguyman256]

Oh. Its leon

[@SensualToast]

What's with Stephen getting involved in Lamp Cults?

[@alfonsobiggers2452]

It's a fetish?... Maybe?

[@uberlord983]

15:13 "I kidnapped this poor, pathetic creature. And now, I shall turn it on." Isn't that Stockholm Syndrome?

[@TeruteruBozusama]

Lima Syndrome actually: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome#Lima_syndrome Maybe, sorta, kinda...

[@JParker0623]

“Lord Dona’tor must douse himself in hot water, but he shall return!” 😂😂😂

[@Ekraelum]

"Bring me the lamp, Aladdin"

[@BlueKnight85]

I'm waiting for the day someone cosplays as a lamp... Don't give me that look, you know someone from this community would do that!

[@Bloxmon-dk1ms]

BlueKnight85 We're all waiting.

[@Ekraelum]

It's a matter of time. Remember that dude who cosplayed as the convention center?

[@MadameTeqi]

I worry it'd be misconstrued as an undertale reference

[@CodeBlue-sc6bb]

is it just me or did anyone else think that Lord Dona'tor was Chuggaa at first

[@Doctorolivercook]

With all this talk of lamps, I guess you could say that the chat was LIT UP.

[@Mister_Oddity]

Lamp: *exists* Lord dona'tor: finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary

[@Betherblog]

Oh, so THAT'S how this all got started. Huh.

[@o98z]

Beth Blay yup everything but the hiker dance

[@a.tdrawz6326]

the most ridiculous thing I've seen.... I love it

[@Landmasters]

Frog Puppet truly opened the floodgates, I salute you

[@ntdo1889]

4:40 was that the actual Failboat!?

[@ArkangelYT]

Hey, it's the snatcher from a hat in time! ...wait, no, its lord Dona'tor.

[@piratewill8513]

I think my favorite thing about the lamp, is that I actually have the same lamp in my house, but instead of silver it's black. It's hooked up so that you can turn it on and off even when you aren't home.

[@CindyHelms]

10:19... Ah... this part is just hilarious...

[@jesicafelix3542]

Yeah the great lamp!!! And now a hiker dance montach's

[@sykotiksonik]

FOOOOOLS!

[@KirbyKips]

They played Midna’s LAMPment

[@InfinityD4]

Rewatching the Birth of the Lamp after Having Experienced Stephen's Sims 3 LP makes how nobody ever seemed to notice people making references to said LP.

[@eviltables8510]

Just minutes ago, the announced runaway guys colosseum 2

[@pokeperson1000]

The stream chat was 15% of the fun

[@aaronjimenez7825]

Was that Tom in the bathrobe doing the funny voice?

[@Terumimi]

[@theguyman256]

Yup

[@434444334]

[@Miles_77]

4:39 hold up FAILBOAT!?

[@hellenjane]

History has repeated itself XD

[@liamfunnyman6965]

Plot twist: I was the lamp!

[@jadejacobs2221]

Why would one use Midna's Lament as the sad lamp music...? Light HURTS Midna so it'd be a good thing for her.

[@TeruteruBozusama]

I hope Midna will return in a future Zelda game, I miss her...

[@alexwillow2679]

[@KennedyKJK2016]

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY LAMP!!!!!!!

[@Bloxmon-dk1ms]

Kennedy Kjosness Cosplay as the lamp.

[@sonicparks4978]

I really don't know why people were so obsessed over a freaking lamp. Now that I'm watching The Runaway Guys Colosseum on their channel, every time I hear the lamp mentioned, I roll my eyes and shake my head. I know they were just trying to be funny but I didn't chuckle one bit about the lamp. I didn't and don't find it funny at all. I just think it's annoying. What's next? A chair? An iPad? A small piece of the floor? And watch; this comment is probably going to be seen on their TV Tropes saying, "One fan in particular was really annoyed by this and posted a comment describing his Angrish and Annoyance.".

[@KennedyKJK2016]

Sonic Parks Don’t worry man the internet will find away to make anything even myself as something for this type of world now

[@sonicparks4978]

Kennedy Kjosness I get that, but treating a LAMP like God? I understand that people are like that, but I have legitimate sense and reason.

[@SteelerMan5]

Because it was one big joke. It started out as a small joke and they simply ran with it. That lamp alone probably earned them just under 10k by itself so it all worked out in the end. TRG's goal of that weekend was to earn money for charity and considering how much the fans went nuts over the lamp, of course the group was gonna roll with it. The most important things were that they collected a ton of charity money and had fun doing it. Edit: If they do this next year, I hope they do, if there is a new "lamp" I will be fine with it. There were some parts of the Colosseum that I wasn't a fan of (mainly the music part but that's just me) but as long as it helped in their goal, I am fine with it.

[@sonicparks4978]

SteelerMan5 I know. I don't have anything against them earning more money. But that doesn't mean I don't get annoyed when people start treating an electric lighting device like a god. It's a LAMP. What exactly did it do to be treated that way? As far as I know, that was its first ever appearance, so this is the only time it has ever appeared. It was just sitting there in the corner and then people just started randomly obsessing over it. I know that this got them a little more money for Direct Relief and that they were doing it for a good cause. But it just annoys me.

[@PyraXadon]

Part of me also wants to mention that it's also kind of a Stephenplays meme. During Stephen's Sims letsplay, the characters worshipping a lamp became a recurring joke, so it's very possible that the very start of that came from someone from his audience. Honestly, it's one of those things that's not worth thinking too hard about. The sheer ridiculousness of the situation makes it funny to begin with, and if that's not your cup of tea, that's on you. But I, like many people did enjoy the recurring jokes, and that's just something that twitch chat and the internet does. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it nonsensical? Yes. Is it still fun regardless? Absolutely.
