Million Dollars, But...

Million Dollars, But... (TV Series) is an ongoing American Rooster Teeth Live action Sketch comedy TV Web show/series by Rooster Teeth Productions originally created by Rooster Teeth staff members Burnie Burns and Gavin Free. It is based off the hypothetical question, "What (dare/bet challenge) would you do for a million dollars?" In each episode the three hosts each provide their own hypothetical question of, "You get a million dollars, but..." with live action sketch comedy skits being performed of their questions and answers. In short, each and every episode consists of three friends come up with one insane scenario each to see if the other two would do it for at least $1,000,000. The show is presently in its fifth season.

== Format ==
Burnie Burns, Gavin Free, Barbara Dunkleman and one other Rooster Teeth employee or special guest congregate at a bar set table and each come up with their own typically and hypothetically difficult scenarios that are so gross, brutal, bloody, uncomfortable, unexpected and deadly, it's considered next to impossible to survive, for example, one where the person has to date Adolf Hitler for a year — which the cast comically re-enact with the hypothetical imaginations brought to life through a series of live action sketch comedy skits and live action shorts visualizations, where they play caricatures of themselves that depicts the company's staff in unusual situations — for which they will be awarded a million dollars in compensation. After discussing the conditions of each scenario (what you're allowed and not allowed to do), the episode concludes with the trio discussing weather or not they would genuinely do it in real life.
