I don't think a more perfect choice for this could've been made than pitting Josh's chaotic hyper energy against Johnny's anxious hyper energy
Theyre a dream team and should collab more
@@EvWuzherefor real!! more collabs would be amazing
Agreed 😂
Hard agree!
Yes, this. I will always thumbs up a Johnny and Josh collab with the Try Guys. Zach was probably the best choice for host here since he shares their sardonic humor.
i can’t get past “so obviously the slugs are death, we all have a slug chasing us”
And I cannot get over "What if you have Hodgkins Lymphoma"
The classic tumblr immortal snail
@@camillebaillargeon1250 Ik its a joke but there are people who are suffering and passed away from hodgkins lymphoma, so i dont think its something to joke about.
@@julesoxana Eh. I've had cancer. I don't think he meant it as a joke. It's more of a "bad shit happens all the time without warning" comment and god ain't that correct
@@julesoxana It wasn't so much a joke but more of a point of we have little control over these sorts of things in our life.
The "and who are you" had impeccable timing.
Link is amazing at that!! Usually on accident but it’s still hilarious 😂😂
Maybe my humor is broken, but Johnny is soooo funny. He didn’t fail to crack me up every minute “I’m gonna promote my humanity today. Please don’t give up me” was the perfect ending for this lol
That was perfect. 😂
All Jonny has to do is breathe and he has me smiling
Yeah, he's the best. The way he just threw Pride under the bus for hot showers was incredible lmao I laughed so much at him this whole video.
Johnny is the BEST!! he never has not delighted me :D
I think Jonny needs a permanent position, I find him really similar to Eugene in a lot of ways. They're both so fucking funny to me, but they're also just sweet, respectful people. If Eugene has to go, I would love for Jonny to become permanent.
if there's one thing I love, it's arguing over hypothetical situations that have no real life consequences
Except there's Hills to die upon
Have you ever heard of the board game hidden hitler?
@@hotsaucethepirate69 secret hitler?
@hotsaucethepirate69 Its actually secret hitler and its such a fun game
@@hotsaucethepirate69haha my teacher bought it for our classroom
The "and who are you?" MURDERED ME 😂😂
classic link
Stop capping. No one murdered you. Prolly live in San Francisco working on the corner
Jonny is so much stronger than I am. I would have died of humiliation. Could you imagine???? 💀💀💀💀
@@americannightmare2109 why do you have to be so negative, man? It's a silly comment on a silly video, chill the f out
@@SpiritLord I forgot, Californians are sensitive and have pronouns. This is the Internet buddy. Welcome to the comment section
We must continue the "Josh being an ally and contributing to the Trevor project" storyline when he's in a video with Jonny
i will always laugh thinking of his "i don't hate the gays, i hate this gay" comment before calling himself an ally the first time 💀
@@hannahgriffiths5920 “I was hoping you wouldn’t check that”
I love everything about this.. Zach looking like a little kid in his conductor costume and giggling, the chaos from Johnny and Josh, set design, animation, the literal hill to die on and soo many other
The Keith paternity leave videos go wild
This gives us a slight taste as to what the Guess the Try series might have been like if Zach didn’t get injured lol
This was actually filmed fairly recently. They ask us the questions only a month ago!
"What if comes into your room while you're sleeping?" "What if you have Hodgkin's Lymphoma?" What an incredible comeback that makes absolutely zero sense out of context. 5 stars. No notes. Wonderfully done, Josh.
Did Josh spend time with Hank Green recently?
@@MeonLights yes! Hank was on an episode of his show Last Meals and it was incredible! I recommend.
@@the_nikster1 Oh xD Right that WAS Chef Josh. I did watch that. For some reason I did not connect it lmao
It was so good.
i like that he picked a disease that is generally pretty nonfatal
Josh saw his opportunity to take his shirt off and ran with it like he always does 😂
👀 respectfully lol
Okay true but johnnys face in the background was priceless 😂😂
What perfect casting. Two people that overthink and over verbalize everything! I love this show already.
“I thought they were trapped in here with me but I think I’m trapped in here with them” describes my entire friend group dynamic lol
Zack: it’s all hypothetical Johnny and Josh: debating getting cancelled, calling Rhett and Link to apologize, and freaking out at every question
Yeaaahhhhhhh long live this series. Ya'll had me at the best comeback of all times, "What if you have Hodgkin's Lymphoma?"
that got me LMAO
“unfortunately in this game i am your worst nightmare” “are you high right now?” lmaaaaooooo
please do this show again and have Shane and Ryan from Watcher as your contestants
Yes!!! They would be hilarious too!
100%
This!!!!
THIS. Ryan and Shane would spend the entire time arguing and it would be hilarious
PLEASE
From “I donate to the Trevor Project” to “I still donate to the Trevor Project”, we all grew up.
that part had me dying
@@angelesg0957 He’s SO committed to being an ally 🔥
I didn't get the gae reference
I watch too much Mythical and Smosh because for about a half second I thought that was a joke about Trevor from MK/Smosh
I can't exactly remember where that started...I remember it happening
Honestly Jonny and Josh were so brilliant in this, they really made the show. I feel like Zach just amplified their chaos in the best way.
“We don’t have to be here” had me rolling 😂
Seven minutes in and this is already my new fav Try Guys series. From the hilarious set, to the fact no one will ever win. Making them eat a scorpion for no points anyway. Pointless arguments. It’s the best.
This is for sure my new favorite thing. I love the chaos that Josh and Johnny bring and all of Zachs giggling
It’s giving without a recipe chaos. I hope this video is the pilot ep to “without morals” or something
I never wanted this video to end hahaha
i like that zach called this a trolley problem based game show and then it immediately morphed to a more complicated way of saying "would you rather eat a ghost pepper or a cockroach"
At my time of writing this, the title of this video is “I Torture My Friends with Impossible Would You Rather”
Op was referring to the name of the game mentioned at 0:34 , not the title of the video
@@paulalapoderosa6762 The video title was changed as well
@@ttaylor3294I got a notification when they first posted (like, within the first 25-30 mins) and the original title was about the Trolley Problem. I wasn’t able to finish the whole video until now so no idea when they changed it.
i just love how good of a time everyone is clearly having while filming this!! All the crew laughs; Zach's constant, palpable delight; and Johnny and Josh make SUCH a fun duo, I love seeing them together, especially when they're arguing over pointless hypotheticals.
I agree! I was skeptical about the idea, but totally sold after this episode. Perfect first guests and would love them back
Josh took such an existential approach to some of these questions and bounced off of Jonny who was, at all times, ready to escape at the mention of each choice... it was a perfect duo for a pilot and I honestly would love to see this show take off 😂
Zach: Who wants to write on Josh's pec??? Jonny: I VOLUNTEEEEEER!!! I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTEEE!!!
the gasp in the back at 20:30 too HAHAHAH
Josh was the best, most infuriating, guest to have for the pilot episode LMAO Johnny and Josh created the most amount of chaos I’ve ever seen
the way Jonny won but didn't get to promote his BLEEP kits on air 😂 this was so funny though
Please give us more content with Jonny and Josh -- their personalities/philosophical approaches are so opposite that they have great chemistry together.
13:08 “and who are you?” HAHAHAHA Jonnyyy poor Jonnyyy
Time to take Jonny to GMM and properly introduce him to Link
Phenomenal guests, Josh with no shame and Johnny with no chill. Perfect.
Perfect description lol
I am convinced this pilot was developed so that Zack could wear the train conductor outfit and I am not mad at that
My sister and I about DIED with laughter! This was a great pilot and I really hope to see more of this game show! Johnny and Josh were so chaotic together in the best way possible! My sister's favourite 'The Good Place' episode was the Trolley Problem Episode so when I saw this upload, I knew it was going to be gold! She had a shitty day at work and so I put this on and I've never seen her mood change so fast! Thank you for creating all this all-star content!!
Voted 😊
Quote of the Day: “I really don’t want to eat a cockroach. I’m trying to eat less meat in general.”
This was the silliest idea to produce a show that I now want weekly episodes of
I LOVED THIS! The sheer joy on Zach’s face as he was laughing was so wonderful. And Johnny being Johnny is always a good time.
Can we just appreciate how tiny Zac looks behind that podium… especially compared to how tall the other two are 😂😂
He’s also sitting while they’re standing so that’s probably making it worse
Josh is the BEST person to have in the first episode of a f*cked up philosophy problems show 😂😂 I love his humor in existential dread
Agreed
I also love zachs realization in the beginning that he played himself with these guests 😆
And that he plays it with little expression...everything presented as facts.
“what if it comes into your room while you’re sleeping” / “what if you have hodgkin’s lymphoma” at 7:20 has the same energy as ryan and shane’s “what if those who get lost in the bermuda triangle are time traveling” / “what if?”
Omg! Bring Ryan and Shane to this game 😂 next Rhett and Link! 😂
i love josh IMMEDIATELY jumping into hyper philosophical discussions
Calling Rhett and Link sealed the deal for me. Love this show.
i feel like this was just 23 minutes of johnny steadily having a breakdown
Isn’t that every episode with Johnny? 😂
"I'm still an ally, I still donate to the Trevor Project!"
Jonny and Josh are such a hilarious combination because they embody such opposite energies in so many ways. Josh's continuity throwing back to his Trevor Project comment in the Phoning it In episode was so funny. I started watching Mythical only because of discovering Josh through the Try Guys videos (and those videos on how he'd cook different Pokemon.)
lmao josh just holding the cookbook at the end i'm crying
Putting Johny in the show where you will always fail is foul 😂
famously a one time food network loser
His anxiety must have been thru the roof
Dude I didn't even think about that 😂😅😅😅😅 I agree ABSOLUTELY FOUL!!!!!
"I want to go home now". 😂😂😂 I'm dead, like Jonny in his airtight box.
I would 100% watch weekly episodes of this where the guests are different and the scenarios are all this unhinged.
Trolley being the whole premise just for Zach to be a train engineer is underrated silliness. 😊
Zach in a train engineer costume is just perfect
Link's "and who are you?" Was comedy gold 😂 Also this is the most chaotic video I've ever seen
Johnny acts like he is surprised he is even allowed to be here, which is a total mood.
This was the exact right 2 people to have on this, also great job whoever wrote these prompts. Chefs kiss
They couldn’t’ve chosen two better first contestants
SO many insane one-liners but "and who are you now?" after Johnny explained the chaos he was trapped in - DED lmao
It has lucifer from hazbin hotel with Missy energy "Who?!"
Josh having to eat anything marginally edible as a losing consequence is pointless. Because he will already eat anything considered disgusting. He already has a MK show for that.
Link saying “and who are you?” is comedy gold.
The hand painted backdrop is giving "small town, low rent, slightly creepy party venue," and I'm living for it! 😂
it's giving glasgow "wonka immersive experience" warehouse
@@mckennabrynI thought the same
Josh is such a perfect guest for this. And I love watching as his nihilistic realism slowly crushes Johnny's spirit.
e.g. "yeah, actually! I WANT you to watch me shit!!"
Josh's Chaos is absolutely PERFECT for gameshows
Zach being surprised that most people chose the Truman show bedroom as if he thinks most Try Guys fans are having sex
2:38 “I love game shows where you don’t know what you’re doing” WELCOME TO GAME CHANGER THE ONLY GAME SHOW WHERE THE GAME CHANGES EVERY SHOW!!
I’ve been here the whole time!
Would love to see him in Game Changer
i also immediately thought of this
that's just Calvinball
@@bleuefish i honestly have no idea what that is
"it's so hard to make friends as an adult" took me OUT
getting a call back to Josh saying " I donate to the Trevor Project," which KILLED me the first time I heard it, made me so happy. Also loving this format, good job Try team!
I love that the slug challenge is basically just It Follows. I love the fear adult men have to insult Taylor and Beyoncé. What a time to be alive.
Please do more of this! “We don’t have to be here. What are they going to do barricade the doors.” Brilliant!
Josh vs. Jonny was not in my bingo card but here I am.
Are none of us gonna mention Josh saying his bedroom time was “too interesting” after Johnny said his was boring? 😂😂😂
Josh is the worst person to have on any game show he’s a walking trolley problem 😂
7:40 Johnny saying "we don't know if Hodgkin lymphoma is after us" is giving "rigor Morris" vibes 😂😂
"Who's Morris?"
Josh is rapidly becoming one of my favourite people on the internet and this episode did not reduce this 😂
Jonny and Josh are an absolutely hilarious duo, I could watch this for hours ‼️
I love Jonny and Josh's energies! All so contradictory yet still so complimentary all at the same time! 😆 Oh and Zach's laughs and reactions 😂
Jonny not giving up warm showers - SAME! (the being gay everyday line killed me bahahaha!)
“Don’t think about what’s in your mouth. Just eat it. 👏🏻” - Jonny 5:33
I feel like Jonny enjoyed getting to “tattoo” Josh just a wee bit 😂😂
"And who are you?" Sometimes Link kills me😂
Josh and Jonny were the PERFECT two people to have on this together 😂
I absolutely LOVED this pilot and really hope we see more of it in the future. It really encapsulates the chaotic fun energy of this Try Guys era.
"I love a game show where you don't know what you doing." Dropout's Game Changer show: "it might seem crazy what i'm about to say..."
Zach’s reaction was PRICELESS when Josh was casually like „I’d look pretty cool with 37 face tattoos”
same energy as brennan lee mulligan’s Hi I’m… 50? in More True Facts about Grant Anthony O’brien
“i really don’t want to eat a cockroach - i’m trying to eat less meat in general” I LOVE JOHNNY DHDKSJ
”I waaant.. to go home now!” I felt that Johnny, I feel that way to often 😂😂
8:09 omg I’m dying at how they just cut away from Jonny so abruptly 😂 you know he said something that had to be edited out
“The slugs aren’t slugs, right, the slugs are death.” i’m going to write this with a fancy pen and hang it on my wall
😂 love the concept! Both of them eating scorpions for no points
I feel like they should have gotten a point for eating the scorpion and an additional point had it been the majority decision.
Possibly the best TG vid I’ve seen in months. Absolutely hilarious. Make this a series! 👏👏👏
Jonny's interaction with Rhett and Link was perfection
Trolley Problem: 1) make this a reoccurring series 2) a meteor will crash into my house, obliterating an adoring tryceratops family
Josh was absolutely the wrong person to ask that slug question to 😂 -A person that has seen every episode of "giving a celebrity an existential crisis" AKA Last Meal
Jonny: I chose you two to die... Rhett and Link: ... and who are you..? Jonny: Unfortunately, in this situation your worst nightmare I LOVE JONNY
If anything happens to Rhett and Link, jonny and josh will be the prime suspects
Ok 5 mins in and I am 1000% sold. Choo choo, mother effers.
OR PRIDE MONTH HAS SENT ME
Zach’s pure joyous laughter made this episode for me
As a non-American I did not know about the George Washington peanut butter humanitarian guy nor the Insurrection cult 😂
"I'd like to promote my humanity" 😂😂😂 Loved every bit of this 🙌🏾🔥
i love how The Try Guys just became Zach's Silly Show
Josh being ethically neutral this entire episode and near perfectly modeling one of the largest ethical choices of not pulling the lever because it was already on that path is incredible
This was the best! Johnny and Josh were PERFECT for Zach's chaos 🤣🤣🤣
Josh finding a way to take his shirt off is a very Josh coded
The combination of Josh and Jonny makes so much sense and is so iconic I can’t handle it
