Funhaus (pronounced fun-house) was an American comedy group, YouTube channel, and Los Angeles-based division of Rooster Teeth. Composed primarily of former members of Machinima’s Inside Gaming, the channel focuses on the production of comedy video content around Video game, usually in the form of gameplays, streams, comedy sketches, and variety shows.
Funhaus was one of Rooster Teeth’s most popular channels, with its main cast composed of Bruce Greene, Elyse Willems, James Willems, Lawrence Sonntag, Adam Kovic, and Matt Peake. The channel closed alongside Rooster Teeth. Funhaus’s content focused mainly on improvisational, surreal, and vulgar humor, often centered around video games and adult-oriented themes and topics.
In November 2015 Funhaus confirmed the addition of Elyse Willems (James's wife and former collaborator in GameTrailers) to the main cast. The cast solidified into six core personalities (much like its sister channel, Achievement Hunter) with the departure in 2016 of Joel Rubin and Sean Poole. Greene and Sonntag left in 2019, Kovic departed the company after breaching its code of conduct in October 2020, and Pearce announced her departure later that month. After the departures, new personalities were added to the main cast. In March 2024, Rooster Teeth announced that it would be shutting down and Funhaus ended along with it.
