The '''Videlectrix Guys''' are the geniuses behind the games produced by [[Videlectrix]]. The first programmer, nicknamed "Videlectrix One" (shown yelling in the image) is very domineering and apparently very abusive (such as screaming and cutting) of the second programmer, nicknamed "Videlectrix Two", who timidly accepts this treatment; in [[Joystick Wagglin' with Videlectrix: Halloween Edition]] Videlectrix One angrily declared that his subordinate is to be called "Videlectrix Three". Two appears to be more sane than One, and often points out mistakes of judgement he makes. One, however, is wholly obsessed with "[[Good Graphics|good graphics]]", though his opinion of what good graphics ''are'' is strongly in line with [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Strong Bad's Technology|opinion]].

'''Videlectrix One''' is the domineering and abusive (verbally and physically) lead programmer. He is vociferously obsessed with developing &quot;[[Good Graphics|good graphics]]&quot;; even though his opinion of what good graphics ''are'' is wildly outdated (in line with [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Strong Bad's Technology|opinion]]), his coworker's output fails to measure up to his standards.
 
'''Videlectrix Two''', the subordinate programmer, timidly accepts this harsh treatment. He appears to be on a more even keel than One, often attempting to point out his errors of judgement to little avail. In [[Joystick Wagglin' with Videlectrix: Halloween Edition]], Videlectrix Two was demoted to &quot;Videlectrix Three&quot; as a result of his poor graphics work.

—Telltale Games on working with the Videlectrix Guys

The Videlectrix Guys are the geniuses behind the games produced by Videlectrix. The first programmer, nicknamed "Videlectrix One" (shown yelling in the image) is very domineering and apparently very abusive (such as screaming and cutting) of the second programmer, nicknamed "Videlectrix Two", who timidly accepts this treatment; in Joystick Wagglin' with Videlectrix: Halloween Edition Videlectrix One angrily declared that his subordinate is to be called "Videlectrix Three". Two appears to be more sane than One, and often points out mistakes of judgement he makes. One, however, is wholly obsessed with "good graphics", though his opinion of what good graphics are is strongly in line with Strong Bad's opinion.

Videlectrix One is portrayed by Matt Chapman, and Videlectrix Two is portrayed by Mike Chapman. They both have combed their hair poorly and sport mustaches (false costume mustaches or sometimes drawn on in Photoshop). The "One" and "Two" names were first referred to in Joystick Wagglin' with Videlectrix: Halloween Edition. Previously in Eric Conveys an Emotion: The Interview, Videlectrix One was given the name "Monsieur Henri Chapardieu"; in 8-Bit is Enough, the credits list their names as "Videlectrix Matt" and "Videlectrix Mike". A Rock Paper Shotgun interview refers to "Videlectrix assistants, Mike [and] Matt" as additional employees distinct from One and Two.
