Rich 'n Creamy

"You slid it right in, Rich. You lubed it up and slid it right in."

– Mike Stoklasa, RedLetterMedia.

Introduction

Rich 'n Creamy (AKA the RedLetterMedia sex tape) is a 24-minute video clip, usually in the form of a high-definition .avi file of moderate quality. The clip features Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans, two of the main hosts of the film production company and YouTube channel RedLetterMedia, engaging in non-sexual softcore activity that has been described as "homoerotic more than anything else." It has been passed around video-hosting sites such as Dailymotion and Vimeo, only to be taken down swiftly, but released again several times on various pornography sites. The video has risen to popularity to an extent similar to the infamous softcore fetish short film Two Girls, One Cup, albeit without anything resembling scat play. Screenshots and quotes from the clip have become the center of countless internet memes, GIFs, and social media posts on community sites such as Twitter and Reddit. As for the channel from which it originated, including fellow host Jay Bauman and various other contributors and guest stars, the clip has seemingly been ignored, with the casual friendship of Stoklasa and Evans appearing identical to the stage it was in prior to the clip surfacing. The team is either unaware of its existence, in denial of its existence, or simply carefree and smug about its circulation.

The contents of the clip are sensual and homoerotic, but also comedic in tone, with numerous quotes from and references to films that have been reviewed on RedLetterMedia's shows, as well as phrases and terms that they've invented themselves. Throughout the runtime, stock music tracks and pieces of the scores from the films they've reviewed are shuffled through, each from start to finish, including "Never Tomorrow" by Denis Rusnak, "Ready to Rumble" by Catiso, "Lover" by Gin Kay Breat, and "Friends Forever" by Angelo Jannotti from the 1987 action film Miami Connection, a film reviewed on a 2013 episode of the channel's internet show, Best of the Worst. The camera stays in one still position that's tilted downwards at a similar angle to the camera angles in later Best of the Worst episodes, and because there is never any change or movement to this angle, it can be presumed that there was no cameraman, as Bauman and others may not have wanted to be involved. The activities between Stoklasa and Evans that are edited together by jump-cuts, much like a supercut, include Evans wearing nothing but a Darth Vader helmet and a black speedo while pretending to masturbate with an R5-D4 Star Wars action figure—a gag used in a 2014 reaction video for Star Wars: The Last Jedi—during which he snaps at Stoklasa, "The fuck are you looking at?", and Stoklasa responds with, "Taking one last look at my friend," referencing a C-3PO quote from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker; Evans crouching down and thrusting into Stoklasa backwards while Stoklasa exclaims, "I'm glad we decided to shoot the rodeo," "shoot the rodeo" being a made-up idiom on the channel that originates from the 1971 horror film Blood Shack; Evans covering his body with melted butter and Stoklasa referencing the first episode of Plinketto on Best of the Worst by recalling, "It's like what you did with Louie Anderson!", after which Stoklasa strips down, lathers himself with Hi-C Ecto-Cooler, and calls the situation a "nostalgia bukkake," which is how he described the 2021 blockbuster sci-fi sequel Ghostbusters: Afterlife on Half in the Bag; and both hosts grabbing each other's crotches while calling each other "snake-squeezers," a term used in the 1989 Italian sci-fi film Alien from the Deep, reviewed on a 2015 Best of the Worst episode.
