A shiny new wiki featuring the marvellous misadventures of the Funhaus crew. From Dude Soup to Demo Discs, you'll be right at home in the Funhaus. Our old home can be found here
Old Funhaus
Many of the original Funhaus members were part of Inside Gaming for Machinima, where many of the common tropes of Funhaus would be developed such as the playing of (adult) flash games, Steam Roulette (the basis for Wheelhaus), drunk gameplays, and egregious referencing of nineties pop culture, both obscure and not.
It was formed by members of Inside Gaming leaving Machinima to join Rooster Teeth. They would continue shows like Steam Roulette with Wheelhaus, and they would start new fan favorites like Demo Disk and podcasts like Dude Soup. They would continue to report on gaming news on The Know, a Rooster Teeth program, and Gaming Weekly on their channel. They would also be part of the Inside Gaming revival by Roster Teeth after they purchased the show from Machinima.
With time people would leave and others would join. Elyse Willems would join in November 2015 after working for GameTrailers. In February 2016, Sean Poole, also known as Spoole, would leave and shortly afterwards in April of 2016 Joel Rubin would leave. On the other hand, Jacob Fullerton would join full time in May of the same year after interning the previous year. Jon Smith would also join this year.
In 2018 Alanah Pearce and Ryan Hailey would join Funhaus. However, the following year, in 2019 Lawrence Sonntag and Bruce Greene would leave, followed by Adam Kovic in 2020 who left after reports of harassment and him cheating on his wife. In 2021, Alanah would leave to write for Santa Monica Studios. In the same year, Inside Gaming would shutter bringing in talent from there such as Charlotte Avery and Patrick Brown.
The remaining crew would truck along creating memes such as Minch and Bayou Yoda as well as series such as Star Boys and Dream Jobs until the closure of Rooster Teeth in 2024.
Future Funhaus
With the closure of Rooster Teeth in 2024, the members went their separate ways.
Bruce and Lawrence have two shows together: Inside Games, a legally distinct gaming news show, and BroughtYouThisThing, a show they do with Kassem G.
