'''Funhaus''' (pronounced as "Fun-House", also known as "FunHaus", "Rooster Teeth West", "Rooster Teeth California", "Rooster Teeth Los Angeles/LA' or simply known as the "Funhaus Team", and often abbreviated as '''FH''') is an American {{W|Video_game_culture|video gaming}} division unit and a YouTube production company launched by Rooster Teeth back in February 2015 in Rooster Teeth's brand new Los Angeles offices and studios comprised of former Machinima's Inside Gaming veterans. It is also one of Rooster Teeth's gaming and podcast YouTube channels.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/funhaus/comments/2uyu23/rooster_teeth_and_funhaus_a_brief_beginners_guide/</ref> Like Achievement Hunter, The Know, and ScrewAttack, it is a YouTube channel owned by Rooster Teeth based in Los Angeles, CA, run by a group of gamers, gaming journalists, and show and podcast hosts, which features members of the former Machinima.com group Inside Gaming. The content mostly consists of gameplay videos, as well as podcasts, video game news segments reviewing video games, movies, technology products, google trends and television shows of various genres in a retrospective and comedic manner in addition to fan Q&As and game shows.
 
This is another division branch of Rooster Teeth Productions that is comprised of and features former members of the former Inside Gaming YouTube Producers group, a division from Machinima Inc. The channel focuses on and creates both video gaming news broadcasts and comedy gameplay videos, similar to ''The Know'' and ''Let's Play'' respectively, such as Let's Plays and other video game related content. The channel was was initially founded and created by the former cast of Inside Gaming veterans, along with Rooster Teeth staff members Burnie Burns and Jon Risinger on February 5, 2015. Hosted by the former cast of Machinima Inc's {{W|Machinima_Inc.#Inside_Gaming|Inside Gaming}} (Adam Kovic, James Willems, Bruce Greene, Lawrence Sonntag, Matt Peake, and formerly Sean "Spoole" Poole and Joel Rubin), along with former {{W|GameTrailers}} hosts Elyse Willems, and Omar de Armas, the channel produces and hosts a large variety of gameplay videos of various genres in a retrospective and comedic manner, in a similar manner to Achievement Hunter,<ref name="youtu.be">https://youtu.be/aFe02xBR1mQ</ref><ref name="https://youtu.be/d2TRDsqeKhQ">https://youtu.be/d2TRDsqeKhQ</ref><ref name="https://youtu.be/OIrHVVfN8uI">https://youtu.be/OIrHVVfN8uI</ref><ref name="https://youtu.be/xYS63Djq-b8">https://youtu.be/xYS63Djq-b8</ref> where the team claims that they "will play everything from GTA to the crappiest games they can find". These range from forgotten trash like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=203Q7xbET_c Demo Disk] where they play games from late 90s demo CDs and drinking games because they claim that they are "responsible adults". Their Funhaus GTA 5 Gameplay is a series where the crew (either one person or 4 crew members) would play GTA Online matches, usually with the fan community.<ref name="https://youtu.be/b-GaBEERxdA">https://youtu.be/b-GaBEERxdA</ref><ref name="https://youtu.be/VSyLaXPgTYE">https://youtu.be/VSyLaXPgTYE</ref>
 
In addition to game play, Funhaus also produces podcasts and field fan Qs&As (mostly about games), including segments, and be doing regular news content for The Know, appearing on the the Rooster Teeth news channel on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (with Adam Kovic and Bruce Greene as co-anchors, also appearing alongside Ashley Jenkins, Jon Risinger, Ryan Haywood, Gus Sorola and formerly Meg Turney until her departure from Rooster Teeth and The Know in June 2016), Let's Plays, event coverages, live streams, fan meetups and events at various conventions and expos (such as LPL, RTX, PAX etc) as well as collaborations and crossovers with other fellow friends and colleagues from Rooster Teeth, YouTube, and beyond, who "wouldn't be [too] embarrassed to be seen with them", according to the team.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCboMX_UNgaPBsUOIgasn3-Q/about</ref> Previously, Funhaus collaborated with Achievement Hunter and The Know (which they still do), in addition to ScrewAttack (now Game Attack), Kinda Funny, The Creatures (who have now dissolved as of July 2017) , CowChop, Sugar Pine 7, Game Grumps, Smosh Games and other members of the LP family.
 
After leaving Machinima Inc. in late January 2015, the group formed a partnership, ownership and developed an acquisition along with (and by) Rooster Teeth Productions as part of the newly formed West Coast branch of the company's brand new built offices and studios located in Los Angeles, California. They were made part of the studio on February 5, 2015. Very similar to their earlier works on Inside Gaming at Machinima Inc, Funhaus covers video game news (reviewing technology products and video games), video gameplays, live action skits, Q&As, podcasts, reviews and previews on their channel in addition to crossovers and collaborations with Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter.<ref name="youtu.be" /><ref name="https://youtu.be/d2TRDsqeKhQ" /><ref name="https://youtu.be/OIrHVVfN8uI" /><ref name="https://youtu.be/xYS63Djq-b8" /><ref>https://youtu.be/e7vSoej9tmw</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/lEAYw1swf5w</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/JS5qSEGdQP4</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/TGmpMF6-bws</ref>
 
Funhaus is based, headquartered, filmed and located in the Los Angeles, California offices and studios of Rooster Teeth Productions. The channel officially launched on February 16, 2015. Funhaus produces many other content shows and podcasts such as "''Open Haus"'' (Q&A), "Art Haus" (Fan Art), a host talk-show podcast called ''Dude Soup'', and game play series such as ''Demo Disk'' and ''Wheelhaus ''with rollicking, inspired commentary. Entertaining as a group, Funhaus broadcasts live game plays from '''''GTA''''' to “Demo Disk Gameplay” obscurities, along with vodka-inspired drunken plays featuring games like '''Dark Souls''' and '''Super Mario Maker'''. Collaborating with Rooster Teeth and fellow Rooster Teeth divisions (Achievement Hunter, The Know, Game Attack, The Creatures, CowChop and Kinda Funny), Funhaus frequently appears on the Let’s Play channel, the RT Podcast, occasionally on the Off Topic Podcast and regularly on The Know as part of their news division with Rooster Teeth

In early 2016, shortly following one full year of employment, both Sean Poole and Joel Rubin would amicably resign from their positions at Funhaus and Rooster Teeth, with ''Let's Play Live! 2'' in Los Angeles/LA and RTX 2016 only a few months away. On February 8, Poole announced his departure in order to return to his hometown of Seattle, where he continues to focus more to live stream on Twitch full time. On April 5, Rubin announced his departure. He is currently writing for a TV show after working for SourceFed until it was shut down.
 
Joining forces with leading production company Rooster Teeth in 2015, Funhaus has already amassed 1M+ YouTube subscribers and 500M+ channel views. Since its founding, Funhaus has grown to become a major core component of Rooster Teeth next to Achievement Hunter, hosting a wide variety of videos related to video games. Their website, formatted to the Rooster Teeth website was launched in 2015 along with the Funhaus YouTube channel. The most frequent videos are hosted by the seven most prolific employees: Adam Kovic, Bruce Greene, James Willems, Lawrence Sonntag, Matt Peake, Elyse Willems, and Omar de Armas. As of December 2016, Funhaus clocks over 200,000 Twitter followers and over 1 million subscribers on their YouTube channel. Bruce Greene currently serves as the General Manager and Main Head of Funhaus with Adam Kovic as his right hand man serving as the creative director after Joel Rubin resigned from his position as Channel Director of Programming.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/funhaus/comments/41i5td/is_bruce_the_funhaus_bossmanager/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/funhaus/comments/3f7ypp/is_there_a_boss_of_funhaus/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/funhaus/comments/4fgwxl/bruce_is_the_leader_right/</ref><ref name="reddit.com">https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/4e8bgo/who_is_the_boss_of_achievement_hunter/d1xx1pr/</ref>
 
As of December 21, 2017, it was announced that Funhaus would be getting retooled with transparency switch ups, coming into effect in early 2018. These changes include less GTA gameplays, Comment Show probably gone for good, Dude Soup switching days, Demo Disk and Wheelhaus will be going on rotation with one another as well as more "skit" based videos with higher production like Talking Stalkings, Avatar, Skaters vs Surfers etc. Editors like Peake, Don, Bones, Omar etc will be rotated in more videos as they'll have less editing to do and to avoid everyone becoming stale/burned out. The team is hoping for a more community interactions, live events, streams etc. Last but not the least, there would also be a "Funhaus TV", which will be a 24/7 stream of their catalogue, with new/live content being spliced in regularly.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/7lcw0c/elyse_journalfunhaus_changes_in_2018/</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdkUYJ84gp4</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/JamesWillems/status/960708377960574976</ref>
 
== About ==
The team of Funhaus were previously known as '''Inside Gaming, '''a channel owned by Machinima. In January, 2015, the crew announced their departure from the company.

Most of the content that Funhaus uploads consists of gameplay videos. The foursome of Adam, Bruce, James and Lawrence are known for playing hilariously bad games and finding humor in them. They also create podcasts and Q&As and the team, as now essential parts of the Rooster Teeth family, appear in a lot of videos on other channels, such as Rooster Teeth, LetsPlay and The Know.

=== '''Fan Q&As''' ===
Their biggest fan Q&A show is Open Haus. Episodes run between 9 and 15 minutes. The hosts are seen sitting at their individual gaming desk setups (as they would during the playthrough of multiplayer co-op gameplays such as Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege), some of the hosts have another member sitting beside them, with the team answering questions from their fans in a laid back and comedic manner. These questions are taken from the subreddit, YouTube comments, and on Twitter.

== Criticism ==
Inside Gaming is often criticized for using clickbait-style thumbnails and titles for their videos. On October 30, 2014, Inside Gaming uploaded a podcast video titled “Xbox One VS PS4: CONSOLE WAR” in which they address why they use clickbait for their videos.<ref>https://youtu.be/Nec1CdZ5IcI</ref>
