Dude, I was just saying I miss Rhett and Link making music and random form videos. And literally days later we get this treat! I hope it gets more likes so they continue to do this sort of thing.
Rhett and Link: Let's make a work of art about love and creation and collaboration and the complex interplay between two human souls and the creative process. Rhett and Link: But also it's hilarious. Rhett and Link: And there's music. Rhett and Link: And we dig a hole. A medium-sized hole.
After watching two men philosophically discover what it means to dig a medium sized hole, I think I’ve gained a medium sized understanding about the meaning of life. Thank you Rhett and Link.
This felt nostalgic but brand new at the same time. Like they were able to capture the conversations and silliness of the purposeless tasks you and a friend would assign yourselves as kids. Awesome!
this feels less like a youtube video and more like a short film, it's really inspiring how the editing and pacing really made it feel so much more cinematic
That’s the whole point of what they are trying to do now. In their recent Ear Biscuits episodes, they hint to the fact that they’ve given up for now with trying to get big production companies to finance their films and they will just make them themselves! Inspiring!
Well they have been best friends for like 38 years lol. They just mesh so well together as best friends and it shows. Rhett knows how Link is and vice versa lol
@@latetotheparty4785 well they have been on TH-cam for a very long time with very little issues arising. And they make a lot of money as a result. You kind of need to be relevant to make CRAP on TH-cam.
I love the nuance of how the production quality gradually increases as the plot thickens. It starts out with what seems like a casual vlog; a couple of guys just goofing around, nothing too fancy. Then as they start digging, the cinematography becomes increasingly legit. Their quest for a truly medium-sized hole becomes the most important thing in the entire world. I went into this with low expectations, but I'm truly blown away by the amount of work that went into this. Bravo!
I wish there were credits! I know the entire Mythical Crew is an important part here but I do want to know who directed it. Probably Rhett and Link themselves though.
Don't know if anyone else pointed this out but the paintings in the background are "la grenouillère" by Monet (top) and Renoir (bottom). Monet and Renoir were friends and often painted together. They painted side by side looking at the same view for these. It's such an interesting touch to show Rhett and Link's friendship!
You're right. Most people focus on their goal they set out to achieve in life without thinking of the consequences of their actions on others and the environment. The pile is just as important as the hole because it's the consequences of their actions and sometimes those consequences are more relevant over time than the actual hole. This is the epitome of "we were focusing on how to do it that we forgot if we should".
so ready to tell my next detractor that i'm not focused on the medium-sized holes i'm digging, 'cause i have my eyes on the mega-sized mountain that i'm making 😢🤌
I love how they turned the simple concept of digging a hole into an almost documentary-like short film. Also the song??? NEW ORIGINAL RHETT AND LINK MUSIC??? HELL YES. Love this era of R&L!
@@toot203 Awwww look at da wittle trolly wolly wanting attention, here you go wittle trolly wolly. I'm sure your wittle life is just a blasssst. You certainly seem like you have the best life, please teach us all how.
@@0Onyx13 don't forget to add "the video suddenly turned into a musical for a while, they basically stole one of their own employees to figure out exactly how large a medium-sized hole was, and Rhett accidentally killed a talking mole which was actually very proud of what they had accomplished"
And almost certainly a metaphor for their multi-armed unscripted non-musical youtube empire not being at all what they set out to do as creatives, but being IMMENSELY successful at it.
its crazy to think that this was their main channel back in the day, and to see all the progress they have made within themselves, their business and work is something truly heart warming
9:54 “We failed.” Been watching GMM religiously for about 5 years now, and this was one of the deepest and most genuine laughs Link ever got out of me. What a delivery
I think it’s a testament to how entertaining you two are if this many people (including myself) are willing to watch you dig two holes in the desert. 😂
I was so glad I was not the only one thinking to my self I love these men and there efforts so much I will watch them debate and discuss how to dig a hole then dig said hole , go into why and how and what went wrong with then medium size hole that lead to the big hole debacle/ what’s a medium size hole look like ? Damn man I may just get up and go outside and dig me a hole and ponder the meaning of the size of it - and ask my neighbors if they’ve seen GMM or Rhett and links channels share and spread some love and laughs by digging a medium size hole - it’s been an awesome morning so far 🌞🌞 in sunny warm 80* Florida
I was literally thinking about halfway through... am I really going to watch this whole thing and I sure did. I don't know how they do it but they're wildly entertaining xD
It's not a vlog, not a sketch, and not an episode of GMM. This is a new venture into creative wonder, and I am here for it! Looking forward to many more!! Thank you Rhett and Link for making this Saturday morning incredibly Mythical 😊
Yes this was a brilliant start to diving even more into what makes their creative hearts sing and making the projects they want on TH-cam that traditional media doesn't yet see the genius of
I am so glad I went into this blind. The vlog transitioning to music video transitioning to Wes Anderson style cinematography mixed with pieces of R&L banter and all with a thread of subversive comedy and dead-pan delivery. The puppet was the most unexpected for me and it landed super well. Love love love this and can't wait to see more.
I read this comment before watching the whole thing so I knew a puppet was coming. Yet I got so engrossed in the size of the whole when he did show up, I'd completely forgotten about it.
It's so weird how two guys from the other side of the world, from a different culture than my own, can bring me such joy over so many years just through the internet. Thanks guys. Oh, and props to the rest of the crew, you guys are awesome.
I have to say, this video is something special. It's a perfect blend of their fun vlog style videos with the creative and weird storytelling from their older sketches. You can really tell, and feel, they had a blast putting it together, and that really shines through. I'm hoping we get to see more content like this in the future!
Absolutely agree! There's something really classicly 'rhett and link' about this vid that brings me back to all their old content. It has that sense of nostalgia even though its brand new! I would love to see more stuff like this too 🙌🏻
1st of all, how entertaining this was! The song "Digging A Hole" was a banger, you two sound AWESOME together! My fav part was the music @9:54 ...So profound and beautiful in just a few notes. Who made that?? I love what ya'll are doing with these series of videos and I don't know how I just now stumbled upon them but am so grateful for more free Rhett and Link content! Your friendship speaks for itself and touches the lives of millions. I am just one ❤
I can't see it any other way now. They set out to make a career but didn't set expectations too high. They got way bigger than they thought they would and didn't want to be that big either (maybe the "dark era" of GMM?). They brought GMM back to what everyone liked and now they're back on this channel too.
This feels like both a mockery of documentaries but also a beautiful, entertaining video at the same time 🤣 They make you feel like they are spitting truth the whole time!
This is pure art, it has depth, meaning, philosophy, maybe gmm will be a fun memory but this right here guys, this is your legacy, that will show future generations you were true real artists, and I'm glad I was alive at the same time to be able to enjoy it and grow alongside you. Thanks southern boys, you have made the lives of millions of people a million times better
I think I speak for a majority of us when I say we want more videos on this channel. You guys made a fantastic video just now. It's so refreshing. We love you guys just posting on this channel. More please! Don't make us wait another whole year.
Rhett and Link are comedic geniuses. Some of you may disagree, but I believe the true mark of an entertainer is when you manage to make digging a hole funny.
This video has everything I love about these two: Picking a pointless, semi-childish activity and putting a lot of (probably too much lol) effort into it, gorgeous singing and, of course, humor. Very pleased that we get to see more of this kind of stuff outside of the show again ❤
Can any Mythical Society subscribers let us know if they teased these being back? This feels like a combination of the vlogs and the music videos and sketches.
You know what's crazy, is when the song properly kicked in I just got SO emotional lmao. Like my love for the old R+L content just came rushing back and I realized how much of my life has been spent watching these guys. Truly the goats of YT.
Absolutely omg they were just chilling and singing and I was like- oh cute a little music from the boys!!! And then they went into full song and my heart grew three sizes lol i love it!!
it's INCREDIBLE how the premise of this video is just "go to the dessert, dig a hole" but, they managed to make it a 26 MINUTE LONG VIDEO, AND THEY MADE JUST DIGGING A FREAKING HOLE SO ENTERTAINING these guys are magicians, mad respect I loved how much water you squeezed out of the "digging a hole" rock, it was really cool, how you made a song, a mini sketch a 3d recreation, and a miniature set of the flipping hole, just to know what a "medium-sized" hole is The comedic timing, the documental-like feel, and all the work you guys have put into this is INSANE and you know what's also insane? That I managed to make "this video is amazing" into a 7-line-long comment!
I see my husband already commented a few days ago, we share an account. And I came back to say as I’m listing to this weeks Ear Biscuit that I hope you guys continue with this route. I understand GMM is your business model, and this is very obviously your art. I have been deeply invest in your guys content for the better part of the past 10 years, y’all being the only constants over that time next to Jenna marbles. And this digging a hole video is so pure. It’s hard to describe. It’s so purely Rhett and link. No one else on the face of the internet is bringing such depth and art to comedy. And as an artist, drawing the fine art of cinematography and music into a comedy sketch in this way is new and breathtaking. I simply love it and I so hope that you continue with this channel even if it doesn’t get the numbers. This is YOU. Across the board, Mythical as company is a company I’ll never feel ashamed to support. I’m so proud of the journey I’ve witnessed here and I’m so grateful that you have allowed us to be along for the ride. You guys are amazing and for a lot of us, the family we never had.
This is the Rhett and Link doing what they wanna do with videos that I was excited to be after they talked about it on the podcast. I am so happy they are doing stuff like this, it’s gold!
This needs to win an Emmy or something, some kind of award. This is one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen - Seriously! There are so many layers here!!
@@superlegoman2003 Give Link a Knife, hang out, and see what happens. A knife is not an excavator. I'd give him a lil' chore with a machine over a comedy bit with a sword.
This kinda takes me back to their old videos, like Finding Ms Locklear. And this is what I love about Joel Haver's work... Just pure creativity. I thought the ending of this one was weird and didn't care for it. I think a lot of Joel's stuff is weird. But who cares... I still get such joy and inspiration from seeing someone just be creative and not worry so much about pleasing others. Also, serendipitously, I'd planned a trip with my younger 2 sons out to the Monahans Sand dunes weeks before this came out. Then when my kids watched this, they got all excited about digging a hole out there lol. So we basically drove 5 hours to go dig a hole in the desert and we had a great time!
This…this is EXACTLY why Rhett and Link have been so consistent for all these years. Their creativity is seriously unmatched and I’m so thankful that I’m part of this community for the past 10 years ❤️
We really just watched two grown men dig a medium size hole for 26 minutes, and the fact it’s so cinematic with that really nice excavator transition 😭😂❤️
Link can be deep at times: 4:23 "Are we making a pile or are we making a hole?" 9:43 "It's okay to fail by succeeding too hard" But other times: 0:38 "Are you hungry for some hole?" ... 😆
I love the juxtaposition in the interaction with the graphic artist where they are reminding him that they are the bosses which in so many contexts is arrogant and almost demeaning BUT because of the context of this video and Rhett and Link’s personas, the subtext becomes “we are the Big Bosses but we are also essentially children” and therein lies the comedy
I love how you can really tell how two people are childhood friends. Childhood friends always know how to harmonize and make a song out of any experience
I am watching this at 6 in the morning and I loved it from beginning to end. I feel like I entered a different dimension and for that very moment everything else around me ceased to worry me, I focused on the journey to get THE medium-sized hole. You guys are amazing.
This was far better than i thought it was going to be. I knew it was going to be funny but THIS...uh uh!?!! Talking animals, songs, etc...its superb. You fellas just don't know how to quit. And don't ever please! 🥰👍
Rhett: “what’s the budget for this video about us digging a hole?”
Link: “yes.”
Hey @MIgardener! Love your channel even more knowing you're a mythical beast! 🌱☺️
took a minute to see who made that comment haha

AND a damn big hole
@vlogbrothers all I see in my head is Johns long microphone cord while he's saying this while laying on the floor.
That song coming in out of nowhere with perfect harmonies was damn PERF.
Honestly the melody at 7:31 is so nice to listen to. I don't even care how silly the lyrics are, I love these songs
brought a tear to my eye

Why does this silly little video of Rhett and Link making a medium sized hole feel like a whole ass movie?
Well it is a masterpiece so it is halfway of being a movie
I'd watch it
Because if you were a committed Mythical Beast and listened to their podcast you would know that’s exactly what it is supposed to be…!
@@Nooticus lol, I've listened to every ep of ear biscuits like 3 times each at least 😅 which episode are you talking about?
idk why but i gives off “earth to echo” vibes..
This felt nostalgic but brand new at the same time. Like they were able to capture the conversations and silliness of the purposeless tasks you and a friend would assign yourselves as kids. Awesome!
Yes I totally agree. I love the way it made me feel like a kid playing with my neighborhood friends when I was growing up. Very nostalgic and silly.
RIGHT!!!
I tried to dig a hole to China with my best friend when we were eight. About two and a half feet across and about five feet down before we quit. 😂
Nostalgic but brand new is the perfect description!
This is a really great way of describing this video's energy
this feels less like a youtube video and more like a short film, it's really inspiring how the editing and pacing really made it feel so much more cinematic

Cards Against Humanity already did it though.
@@BestArtist what..? Lol
Agreed
@@commaJim cards against humanity dug a hole for no reason on livestream a few years back.

Well they have been best friends for like 38 years lol. They just mesh so well together as best friends and it shows. Rhett knows how Link is and vice versa lol

It really missed the mark for me. It filled a big-sized hole, but I don't have a big-sized hole, just a medium one. It failed.
it really does feel like the core essence of their humour but with the budget their success has created
@@jaydenweekes5242 Rhett and link are nice guys. I'm sure if you ask them nicely they'll gently stretch your hole to make it fit.

@@joshcrofts2090 no worries, this happened to me too
This feels like the perfect mix of every era of Rhett and Link
These are the only two people in the world who can make digging a hole a cinematic experience
The instantaneous harmony they sang is incredibly impressive and just proves to me how great of singers they are. These two are generally just awesome
Ex- worship leader problems 😹 people always ask you how you can harmonize so easily… but you don’t want to ruin the campfire vibe
I WANT THIS SONG ON SPOTIFY RIGHT NOW.
they also have been singing tg for most of eachothers lives so im assuming they just know how to harmonize specifically to eachother
They are! They have so many talents. They’re comedians, writers, singers, actors, and directors. And they’re so creative and original it’s crazy!
I’m not gonna ruin any magic you think is going on here
this was a philosophical enigma, a music video, a motivational message, and a dramatic comedy all in one. no one does it like y’all. bravo!
I love that this felt non scripted and captured the dynamic of their friendship but also had a story line to it that I wasn't expecting!
I know Rhett and Link have a budget like very few creators on the platform but the production value this video is insane.
Only Rhett and Link could manage to make an actual art film about digging a hole. Beautiful.
i cried enuf tears to fill a medium sized hole.
What about holes
This felt like a fever dream from start to end.
I need more of this.

This is a great way for them to express their other ideas that don't necessarily fit mythical.
I'm pretty impressed that Link was allowed to operate the excavator.
I was surprised he even knew how to operate, glad someone noticed, it is only a trackhoe tho
He’s not allowed to use a knife on the show, but heavy machinery? Go for it! 😂
My thoughts exactly
Yes 😂😂
And the bigger excavator at that 🤣
Rhett and Link are comedic geniuses. Some of you may disagree, but I believe the true mark of an entertainer is when you manage to make digging a hole funny.
This video has everything I love about these two: Picking a pointless, semi-childish activity and putting a lot of (probably too much lol) effort into it, gorgeous singing and, of course, humor. Very pleased that we get to see more of this kind of stuff outside of the show again ❤
Don't forget the increasing beauty of their cinematography
Man, I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear a song about digging a hole. That harmony is soothing 🥹
Only these two can make a 26 minute video about digging a hole and make it this entertaining.
I was thinking the same exact thing
it wasn't even that entertaining... still i had to watch the whole thing...
@@InWeCome it was though
I clicked on this video and assumed it was something they had done during the height of the pandemic. Boy, was I surprised.
I hope this means Rhett and Link vlogs are back.
i hope so too omg
Can any Mythical Society subscribers let us know if they teased these being back? This feels like a combination of the vlogs and the music videos and sketches.
Don't get your hopes up 😂
No, it means that this was the video for this year.
same. i love these so much
It's been too long since we had a Rhett and Link music video. Great job, folks. This is exceptionally done. A+
You know what's crazy, is when the song properly kicked in I just got SO emotional lmao. Like my love for the old R+L content just came rushing back and I realized how much of my life has been spent watching these guys. Truly the goats of YT.
i 100% agree. i was so emotional when the song kicked in
Absolutely omg they were just chilling and singing and I was like- oh cute a little music from the boys!!! And then they went into full song and my heart grew three sizes lol i love it!!
@@jackbarger7070 Remember, if your heart grew too large you can't just fill it in to make a medium-sized heart...
Same here. If they don't release the song by itself at some point I'll be very sad. They can make any concept into a unique and beautiful song
same here brotha
it's INCREDIBLE how the premise of this video is just "go to the dessert, dig a hole" but, they managed to make it a 26 MINUTE LONG VIDEO, AND THEY MADE JUST DIGGING A FREAKING HOLE SO ENTERTAINING
these guys are magicians, mad respect
I loved how much water you squeezed out of the "digging a hole" rock, it was really cool, how you made a song, a mini sketch a 3d recreation, and a miniature set of the flipping hole, just to know what a "medium-sized" hole is
The comedic timing, the documental-like feel, and all the work you guys have put into this is INSANE
and you know what's also insane?
That I managed to make "this video is amazing" into a 7-line-long comment!
I see my husband already commented a few days ago, we share an account. And I came back to say as I’m listing to this weeks Ear Biscuit that I hope you guys continue with this route. I understand GMM is your business model, and this is very obviously your art. I have been deeply invest in your guys content for the better part of the past 10 years, y’all being the only constants over that time next to Jenna marbles. And this digging a hole video is so pure. It’s hard to describe. It’s so purely Rhett and link. No one else on the face of the internet is bringing such depth and art to comedy. And as an artist, drawing the fine art of cinematography and music into a comedy sketch in this way is new and breathtaking. I simply love it and I so hope that you continue with this channel even if it doesn’t get the numbers. This is YOU. Across the board, Mythical as company is a company I’ll never feel ashamed to support. I’m so proud of the journey I’ve witnessed here and I’m so grateful that you have allowed us to be along for the ride. You guys are amazing and for a lot of us, the family we never had.
No one else is bringing as much DEPTH, you say? 😉
completely agree this is pure rhett and link
This is pure Rhett and Link indeed. It felt like what their videos and songs from 10+ years ago could've been if they were longer
The transition from the model 35G to the actual 35G is cinematic genius
My thoughts exactly
💯
This was incredible, I feel like Rhett and Links surrealist comedy is so overlooked
The fact Tom Segura called them youtube comedy gods says otherwise. 😊
@Promitheos that's awesome! I don't think I've seen the one where he mentions them! I must find it
This channel will never die with such bangers being uploaded every 5 years.
😂😂
👌🏻⚡️
The cloud of the mole they killed at the very end, that's just art right there
This whole video was so beautifully shot and produced! I hope the animation and graphics teams know their efforts are definitely appreciated!
This is the Rhett and Link doing what they wanna do with videos that I was excited to be after they talked about it on the podcast. I am so happy they are doing stuff like this, it’s gold!
This feels so vintage and so fresh. I loved every second of it. Silliness, harmony, old-school Rhett and Link.
bo burnham's inside is now rhett and link's outside (digging a medium sized hole)
This needs to win an Emmy or something, some kind of award. This is one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen - Seriously! There are so many layers here!!
Like an onion!
Medium-Sized layers of course.
Didn't realize how much I missed old school Rhett and Link... 🎉
Same
Oh, man... I'm glad they did this. Probably the most exciting Saturday morning I've had in a long while
You can feel it instantly, strange, random, fun vibe. It's been a long time.
Rhett: We can't trust Link with a kitchen knife.
Also Rhett:
And then he stood next to it while he was operating it🤯🤣
This was EXACTLY my thought process
The link can't use sharp objects is just a joke on gmm and not actually a real thing
@@superlegoman2003 The youtube kids in the comment section eat it right up though.
@@superlegoman2003 Give Link a Knife, hang out, and see what happens. A knife is not an excavator. I'd give him a lil' chore with a machine over a comedy bit with a sword.
This kinda takes me back to their old videos, like Finding Ms Locklear. And this is what I love about Joel Haver's work... Just pure creativity.
I thought the ending of this one was weird and didn't care for it. I think a lot of Joel's stuff is weird. But who cares... I still get such joy and inspiration from seeing someone just be creative and not worry so much about pleasing others.
Also, serendipitously, I'd planned a trip with my younger 2 sons out to the Monahans Sand dunes weeks before this came out. Then when my kids watched this, they got all excited about digging a hole out there lol. So we basically drove 5 hours to go dig a hole in the desert and we had a great time!
This…this is EXACTLY why Rhett and Link have been so consistent for all these years. Their creativity is seriously unmatched and I’m so thankful that I’m part of this community for the past 10 years ❤️
We really just watched two grown men dig a medium size hole for 26 minutes, and the fact it’s so cinematic with that really nice excavator transition 😭😂❤️
Link can be deep at times:
4:23 "Are we making a pile or are we making a hole?"
9:43 "It's okay to fail by succeeding too hard"
But other times:
0:38 "Are you hungry for some hole?" ... 😆
Rhett and link are literally my 2 ADHD brain cells trying to figure out a what a medium size hole would be.
Wow! The colour grading and cinematography in this was fantastic. You guys should be so proud of this. This is absolutely phenomenal!!!
Rhett and Link just changed TH-cam history with this masterpiece. I could binge watch this as a show
the production of it was so sleek and familiar I genuinely thought it was going to end announcing season 3 of buddy system
this watered my garden, nourished my skin, and dug a medium sized hole in my heart
But did it flood your basement?
3:30 THAT LOOK AT THE CAMERA OMFG this is quality entertainment
"I was very happy when I saw you on your knees." 💀
Fanfiction writers are RUNNING to their computers. 😂😂😂
@@saraschneider6781 And combining this with the rim job the stories write themselves.😂
I think I’m having a medium-sized fever dream
It's the dawn of a new day with Rhett and Link. They've entered their Hole Era.
So has the Hair Era officially ended?
It’s a Hole New Era.
“Re-entered.”
I love the juxtaposition in the interaction with the graphic artist where they are reminding him that they are the bosses which in so many contexts is arrogant and almost demeaning BUT because of the context of this video and Rhett and Link’s personas, the subtext becomes “we are the Big Bosses but we are also essentially children” and therein lies the comedy
The vibes of the video were EXACTLY RIGHT and I don’t know how else to describe it
Twinkle Fingies deserves a raise lmao
Rhett driving past in the slightly smaller digger is so funny. Just cracking me up
as a kid who grew up in the middle of nowhere in the arizona desert, i also love diggin' holes.
6:27, the random harmony is so balanced and just works. It's so frickin cool
Super impressive!
I wish more people made videos of them doing really monotonous stuff with a ton of cinematic angles
I love how you can really tell how two people are childhood friends. Childhood friends always know how to harmonize and make a song out of any experience
I am watching this at 6 in the morning and I loved it from beginning to end. I feel like I entered a different dimension and for that very moment everything else around me ceased to worry me, I focused on the journey to get THE medium-sized hole.
You guys are amazing.
This was far better than i thought it was going to be. I knew it was going to be funny but THIS...uh uh!?!! Talking animals, songs, etc...its superb. You fellas just don't know how to quit. And don't ever please! 🥰👍
I love that they fling the mole's corpse into the bigger hole after 😂
I guess this is what they meant when they said they were going to start creating content that made them happy. I appreciate it.
