Mr. Riggsy's ResTube (or simply ResTube) is a YouTube channel dedicated to The Residents which was operated by collector Danny Riggs (aka "Mr. Riggsy") and his wife Julez, beginning in January 2021. The channel featured videos of product unboxings, interviews with fans and collectors, and documentary-style episodes dedicated to specific Residents albums.
During the two year period the channel was active, Riggs interviewed the members of Renaldo & The Loaf, Klanggalerie label head Walter Robotka, and Eyeball Museum and Psychofon Records owner Andreas Mathews. The channel went on hiatus in late 2022 following the birth of the couple's first child; as of January 2026, the last videos posted to the channel are a series of five clips shot at the Essen performance of Faceless Forever in January 2023.
The ResTube team have maintained a friendly relationship with the administrators of RZWiki, often citing the wiki (then known as Meet The Residents Wiki) as a primary resource in its videos; in turn, Riggs has assisted the wiki both directly and indirectly, even providing a number of high quality scans of previously unavailable visual materials from his collection.
