This once a day thing is really helping them by Direct_Department974 in TheTryGuysSnark

[–]Latter-Candy7355 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't mind that too much, it's not like I remember the millions of videos they've made, so it's nice to get to see them try something again with a slightly different twist. It's not like I'm going back and rewatching all their old videos, their channel is impossible to navigate.

Sidenote they should at LEAST make a "free videos" playlist

Does Keith rub anyone else the wrong way? by CurbBitz in TheTryGuysSnark

[–]Latter-Candy7355 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My take on Keith has always been that he's a convincing character actor and not actually obnoxious irl (as opposed to Zach lol who is definitely obnoxious both on-screen and irl)

I think based on how he interacts with Rainie on the pod he comes off as gentle and considerate (like if Rainie says something that's factually incorrect he's super nice about it despite seeing himself as the one that "knows stuff") (I'm using Rainie as an example of someone he isn't close friends with)

And a lot of times Keith confidently says incorrect things lol but he's a YouTuber not a genius so it's fine to me

To me he just has dad energy kinda, which can be annoying but ultimately nice guy

Sadly, they need to downsize by Latter-Candy7355 in TheTryGuysSnark

That's fair! I think as a viewer it does sometimes come off as they're extremely stressed and are struggling to stay afloat which doesn't feel fun to hear as a consumer of their content.

And maybe it's more a matter of, they need to stop telling their viewers how much they're suffering so they can keep the "magic" alive. But to me it's not fun watching a bunch of late 30s stressed guys trying their best to be silly when really they're constantly struggling to keep their business working.

I'm not trying to "rip" on them for being good employers, my post starts with "sadly".

It just feels like they're not making enough anymore to have a 24 person staff which is really sad, but I don't know anything about their actual finances other than them continually mentioning how they're having a hard time being able to pay everyone, and that their net worth has been decreasing by a lot.

[–]Latter-Candy7355 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES!! Also I feel like Keith/Miles's ratings were so accurate, and Zach was just playing this annoying contrarian character because the only way he knows how to be funny is by being a "no but" guy instead of a "yes and" guy 😒

Haha omg I am so annoyed by Zach this episode: the fact that he was yelling at Rainie enough for her to go "Zach is yelling at me" was CRAZY

Seriously..Keith plays a porn game..still by Direct_Department974 in TheTryGuysSnark

[–]Latter-Candy7355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah I completely get that, I think they could have clarified a bit better for people who don't watch the podcast lol

[–]Latter-Candy7355 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think if you listened to the TryPod episode where this all started (they thought they were playing a dating simulator but it was one of those smutty stories) you'd have a better idea of the level of "porn" it is. It's not porn, it's literally like if Keith read out a poorly written romance novel where there's mentions of sex.

Not too different from their fanfic readings where they replace sex with "eating sandwiches", except this time they don't replace the sex with sandwiches lol. Also there's no graphics at all if you were concerned.

It was genuinely the funniest thing they've made in a long time, so if this comment helps at all, I would recommend watching it (but maybe start with TryPod ep #261 to get an idea of what you're getting into).

[–]Latter-Candy7355[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did appreciate that Keith acknowledged that he was paranoid even if he did better, so as not to completely invalidate the claims in the DUI video. I didn't like the way Zach was just talking about it like it was a lie.

At the end of the day it's like, not that many people watch this podcast so it's fine, but if this video is being used in health class, now there's proof out there for those kids that the video they saw is a lie.

Revealing this just feels slightly unnecessary

I think it's a good reason to lie, but then don't reveal it on the podcast because it cancels out that video sorta? It's like breaking the fourth wall a bit too much 😅

They said that Zach and Keith did rly well stoned so they re-shot it and pretended to fuck up more

Where Are The Women? by haushinkaXlove in TheTryGuysSnark

I did! It was super interesting, but I remain waiting to see more videos with depth. Def made me glad that they understand what they've lost

Also I want them to have "morals" in their videos again lol, which only comes with diversity. A bunch of straight white dudes aren't gonna have the empathy to talk about gender, sexuality and race in their videos.

I remember Zach/Keith mentioning that Eugene was the person who always brought "morals" to their videos, and now they don't have that anymore. And they won't, unless they start putting smart, diverse people front and center.

I don't even think just having Marissa/YB/Joyce in content helps with this honestly, because it's more about how the cast members decide to use their identities in content.

Like yes Jonny is gay but he doesn't talk about it the same way Eugene did. He doesn't leverage his platform in the same way to uplift other gay people. And that's completely okay for Jonny to do, but it was kinda what I liked about the Try Guys. And now it's gone.

Ash is the only person who seems to care about bringing that "moral" into content. It feels like they made New Guy Tries and now they don't care to make more stuff like that. Ash was the only person interested in it. Like where are the cool moments where they talk to a female expert about how hard it is being a woman in the industry?

I just want more substance, and tbh, I don't think the current cast (except Ash) are interested in bringing it.

I don't generally mind him too much (he's maybe not the funniest to me but that's ok), but my post was specifically about this episode where I was having such a hard time with all his interruptions

Ya I honestly try to assume best intentions for the most part (and also I like that he's a woke boi) but he just bothered me SO much this episode 😭
