Jon: I don't expect us the reach the goal. Everyone: *Proceeds to destroy last year's record anyway and force Chugga to play Sticker Star*

[@LotteYanson]

So the moral of the story is, promise the suffering of Emile and you will exceed your goal within less than an hour

[@windyfennekin1588]

@@LotteYanson Pretty much, Jon should take notes. (jk)

[@homuraakemi103]

Emile is like SomecallmeJohnny: Promise him tearing a game a new asshole, and people will want to see it...

[@BlazeEmerald]

I mean we broke money and destroyed capitalism how many times? I remember twice going in to Mario Galaxy and 3 times during

[@thekendrickhuynh]

Chugga didn't play, he just commentated while Jon played.

[@DNP_10]

Gotta love how Jon is muted at the beginning

[@KevinTheTimeGeek86]

I genuinely thought it was an editing gaffe at first. :D

[@pyr0_jack]

really sets the tone for the whole event dont it

[@ahbrando]

Even funnier that he did it on purpose

[@Rexaura888]

In which the TRG Colosseum begins anew though due to circumstances, everyone had to record from home instead of on-site. Still, they managed to start off with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and several tech issues, so it’s a good sign that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

[@UmarTahir]

Oh man, you're doing these summaries again this year! Thanks, I enjoy these.

[@Rexaura888]

40:05 Here’s the race I donated for.

[@cy5434]

It's honestly amazing seeing you commenting on TRG after all these years. Keep it up, man.

[@beekbeek8535]

Also, Michelangelo's pair of nunchucks get broken. More of the story at 31:57

[@albevanhanoy]

"When everything changes, Nothing changes."

[@seanclark4071]

I love how the lamp was in the intro. All hail the lamp

[@BlueKnight85]

Jon: Thinking we can reach the goal by event's end. Chat: *CHALLENGE ACCEPTED*

[@tantheman0921]

And then we hit over 231k for Direct Relief. 😄

[@alexkoder1982]

I'm oddly reminded of how things went down when Critical Role did their kickstarter. Both they and TRG set a low bar. Neither thought they'd meet their goal. And both goals were utterly demolished by the fan base.

[@realbiggestlegofanconnor7007]

Also at least this way jon can’t murder chuggaa 😂

[@bluemariomedia8351]

What about drones?

[@alexkoder1982]

He's got Masae who can do that for him

[@Turbo77100]

This is Jon we're talking about, he will find a way to enact his master plan. ;)

[@tyk6535]

I wonder how old he is.....he did say he was at his moms house back in 2007 but he cant be 30 yet can he?

[@lightdoll4278]

Ty K they older then 29

[@endersalasa3396]

Tom Fawkes in the intro looking super confused about why he's there.

[@blue_boo3171]

Everyone playing Mario Kart in *Deluxe-ury* of their own homes.

[@CrashingThunder]

This intro is so perfect. Very wholesome and fun.

[@tantheman0921]

Agreed ❤️

[@homuraakemi103]

Watch someone who watches them actually be old enough to have watched The Brady Bunch when they were actually making it. Keep in mind that this would require them to be older than Tim and Reese...

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Hooray for Jon, Tim, Emile, and the extended TRG family coming together through Zoom, Twitch and other video streaming services to raise money for Direct Relief. Covid 19 was pressing when TRG Colosseum 2020 was being streamed, and it likely will be still until the end of 2020 at the very least. This is just what we needed to keep hope and remember to laugh in this time of fear and going stir-crazy from being trapped in our houses.

[@BigKlingy]

10:00 That $1000 donation jingle was PERFECTLY timed.

[@DNP_10]

Oh if only Jon knew what was going to happen over the next three days

[@DinnerForkTongue]

❓

[@MaxOfFewTrades]

@@DinnerForkTongue The event was a massive success in just about every way, this is despite Jon thinking things would likely get nowhere close due to the circumstances.

[@DNP_10]

@@DinnerForkTongue Just you wait till they release the coming segments. You'll see.

[@loren5716]

I love how everyone got excited for Tim introduction

[@saifuusuri]

Well yeah, Tim's a pretty exciting fella.

[@emmbeesea]

Welcome to another day at the races!

[@tantheman0921]

You said it 💛

[@TentaCole]

Emm Bee Sea I heard you liked races. Here’s some days; spend them at the races!

[@smackjack78]

Day at the racist (It’s funny, I’m rewatching TRG’s Mario Party playthroughs, and I’m up to 2).

[@expendableround6186]

I think “The Runaway Bunch” would have had a better ring to it than “The TRG Bunch.”

[@homuraakemi103]

Same number of syllables, but I guess Emile or whoever didn’t think of that...

[@IBeforeAExceptAfterK]

I have to wonder how many people even get the reference. It's a 50 year old show.

[@homuraakemi103]

I before A except after K (best Steve Rogers impression) I understood that reference!

[@expendableround6186]

@I before A except after K “The Brady Bunch”

[@TokyoKing5]

i love how in the intro when Masae shows up she looks around at everyone and is happy then looks at Chugga he looks back at her i can just see her going "Oh brother" with that eye roll

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Yay! We even got to hear from 1PressL2P in this segment. He's already editing best moments sections right now.

[@MsKeyblademastersora]

I freaking love everybody here, the main trio and everybody else. This is always lovely to watch and it has helped me through a lot of REALLY hard times in my life. I'm not a religious person but freaking bless you all of you.

[@thejdsgames1552]

There should be a bonus video of them saying 'For Charity.' That should be a bonus video on its own. 'Josh being disconnected 'For Charity''.

[@miatheneko189]

I have nonly been able to watch all three of these as vods and having just now found the time to watch 2019 and 2020 its quite the culture shock going straight to 2020 its still wonderful and so awesome yall did all the Colosseum's such a wonderful cause

[@AstorothEverburn]

That Intro i seriously have no words cause that was ridiculous

[@MadameTeqi]

Heck yes, it begins! Perfect to watch while doing dishes, so long as I don't break anything between giggle fits

[@sonict2241]

so glad i got to see this live and watch chat go crazy sometimes

[@thejungwookim]

Thank you chugga for directly relieving us! 🤦‍♂️

[@gavinli1368]

14:12 SOFOX donated 133.70 (LEET) but when I just glanced at it I thought it was 11037

[@zimmercj]

We need a TRG song Album. I mean, we have hits like "I Am an Asshole!" "The Runawaniacs" and now the "TRG Bunch".

[@cloverwizard03alt37]

The best part of AH stream was when Tom invade it. It made it 10x better

[@TentaCole]

That Brady Bunch intro parody had me ROFLing. 🤣

[@tantheman0921]

I enjoy it no matter how many times I watch it. It's so wholesome. ❤️

[@homuraakemi103]

Who’d be who in the Brady Bunch?

[@arandombidoof1744]

I’m in the progress of making a list of statistics for all the colosseum segments for those that are interested. If you have ideas for stats I should include, what I have so far is the amount at segment start and end (as well as how much the segment itself raised) and highest donation amount made by a user or users. Thanks for making this such a wonderful event everybody!

[@StarshadowMelody]

My first thought when I heard someone who I couldn't keep track off switched to Roy was "Wait, Roy's in this game" and I in my head meant Roy from Fire Emblem and then I remembered the koopalings.

[@Taejey101]

From watching this, I can say this: Josh is the only one of these three that can play Mario Kart :P He actually beated me sometimes when I joined his stream a couple of times, so that proves he's good (I am one of Norways best karters )

[@homuraakemi103]

I mean, to be fair, they all did do blindfolds and stuff too...

[@zachalejandro]

I dig that Brady Bunch appearance. I wasn't expecting that

I watched every day of this stream with some friends and it was the highlight of 2020

[@Altyrell]

For those that care, these are the scores the 7 Racers [not counting the fans that joined in & out] at the end of this Video & the Place that they were in: Jepson = 83 = 1st Donnabellz = 83 = 1st Tom Fawkes = 61 = 3rd Chugga = 59 = 4th Proton Jon = 52 = 5th Dan = 52 = 5th TxE = 43 = 7th Because of how Nintendo/Mario Kart calculates "Ties", there is no "2nd Place" or "6th Place".

[@phantomstorm359]

It's time to start the race of TRG Colosseum Direct. Where we have blindfolds, upside down controllers, kart stalls, and communication errors.

[@autobotjazz1972]

Dat Brady bunch intro XDDDD

[@Werewolfoverlord12]

Tom winning at Mario Kart 8? Oh my when has that ever happened before?

[@alexkoder1982]

Hence my donation one year saying I'd seen enough Derp Crew that he needed handicapped.

[@rabbidyoshi2454]

Don't you love it when your capture card turns off in the middle of the race!!😆😂

Don’t you just love when people dont listen and they join the game even though they said not to join if you see the code... glad to see the fans are listening xD

[@brendantjeerdsma492]

I would like to explain how non-TRG people got into the tournament. The tournament was actually public. If you went to ongoing tournaments during the segment, you could actually join. I almost did after finding it out, but didn't

[@realbiggestlegofanconnor7007]

If that’s the intro for all the colosseums then it’s awesome but if that was a 1 time thing then it’s still as awesome

Should do the ctr challenge. Drive side ways the whole race. Only time you are aloud to not drift is when you are reseting it to drift in the other direction.

[@CatMuto]

Ah, one reason I didn't like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. 99% of the things were already unlocked for you from the get-go.

[@languist]

That $1K donation tho...

[@vektris4160]

this would be such a cool thing to do one day. It'd be great to be able to raise money for charity with friends amking memories and stupid jokes together.

[@cx_l0uis105]

Cheeto

[@Thoomas2001]

I watched everyone in the intro individually. Took a lot of time but there were lots of fun things I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Who are the people singing that intro theme anyway? I think I recognize some voices but I don't recognize everyone.

[@dragonwolftmaer5]

I only wish I could. With my eyes I was trying to figure out spme people out, but hey. I want to say Sab and Adri wrre involved, but can’t renember. I believe Sab and Carlos answer it in their segment.

[@Rexaura888]

Thomas Joosten Carlos, Sab, Jules, Adri, and I think Masae. I remember there’s only five people singing. Maybe six. Definitely not everyone.

[@SomeAsian]

So... uh... maybe I should've said Waluigi specifically and NOT "The Purple Funny Man" Sorry!

Nintendo lag

[@lanteanboy]

so in that musical intro, I definitely could hear Emile... but I think I also heard the rest of TRG so that pretty much leaves the girls that I have no idea who they are

[@alexeidarling]

I think Sab said it was her, Carlos, Jules, Donna, and Tom singing it. Sab wrote the lyrics and played most of the instruments.
