The Runaway Guys / Thrown Controllers were a collaborative group of Let's Players on YouTube, comprising ProtonJon, NintendoCapriSun, and Chuggaaconroy. Chugga was in charge of maintaining the channel, although Jon has made posts and comments for the channel as well. They had special guests for many of their projects, with guest collaborators MasaeAnela and Tom Fawkes being considered the 'co-producers' of the channel.
For the first two years, updates usually only occurred every Saturday, but this was changed to Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday following an announcement on February 8, 2013. Videos for Mario Party games (starting with the third) and Fortune Street are also posted daily (each board beginning on Saturday and continuing every day until its end). Since the creation of the channel in 2011, 46 main collab LPs have been produced, along with five side collab LPs and six tournament LPs. They have 487 thousand subscribers and 397 total video views as of 2023. They went on an indefinite hiatus in 2024, due to the allegations against Chugga that occurred in January of that year.
At PAX East 2012, the group established a video game trivia and challenge show that would go on to become Thrown Controllers, which has grown into a hugely popular show, appearing in the United States and Canada at several conventions. In May of 2018, The Runaway Guys / Thrown Controllers Colosseum was live streamed as a weekend long event to raise money for Direct Relief. This was followed up in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. All of them once again in benefit of Direct Relief. To date, The Runaway Guys / Thrown Controllers Colosseum has raised over $1,000,000.
