LoadingReadyRun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LoadingReadyRun is a Canadian sketch comedy website based in Victoria, British Columbia founded by Graham Stark and Paul Saunders. The website updates weekly (usually on Fridays) with a new video created by members of the LoadingReadyRun crew, a habit the LRR cast has maintained since October 2003. Jeremy Petter, James Turner, Morgan vanHumbeck, Bill Watt, Matt Wiggins and Kathleen De Vere along with Paul Saunders and Graham Stark form the regular cast and crew of the site.^[1]

The site's videos range from crude physical humor, such as hitting tennis balls at someone or eating gross food, to more refined satire, such as a parody of Pimp my Ride called Pimp my Chair or the mock instructional video How to Talk Like a Pirate. Some of the more popular selections have been music videos such as 1337 performed by LoadingReadyRun's own mock rap group, 64K. LoadingReadyRun uses Revver to distribute its videos as well as providing a RSS feed.

The website also hosts several webcomics drawn by by people associated with LoadingReadyRun. Since 2006 often weekly podcasts have been posted, as well as The Whatever Thing, a short weekly collection of video miscellany. In the summer of 2006 the crew of the site took to the stage to perform LoadingReadyLIVE!, a mixture of new and adapted material at the Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival. LoadingReadyRun also features a forum and a wiki.
