As a 21 year old, I have to thank Rhett for showing me that I should never tape myself for an MTV show because it could eventually be viewable to the masses 💀
It's so wholesome right! I can't imagine there were many guy friend groups in the 90s harmonizing and writing silly songs together, but I guess thats what you do when you're all virgins lol
After watching 100s of GMM episodes I am realizing I have never seen Rhett actually embarrassed until this moment. 😂 and that’s really saying something.
its so funny how most of the time rhett is basically the same guy then he hits you with the “endless supply of condoms” and it’s like yeah that guy’s 21 lmfao
What is great is how the earrings and goatee definitely fit the time period this was filmed. And how Rhett at 21 is basically the same Rhett we have nowadays.
While I love the crew and all the props and games and food, we need more episodes like this. Feels like old school GMM where Rhett & Link are just talking or telling stories.
That was one of the reasons I liked this episode. I understand why they expanded the show, and I do love all the games and stuff, but this was a nice throwback to the early days.
How is no one talking about the fact that SO MANY of their mannerisms and their personalities are still exactly the same today?? ...this only makes me like them more 💖
Part of me wants to believe a bit of it was just him partially lying about his personality to make him seem more like a douchey dudebro that MTV would find good tv potential in
Petition for Rhett to reprise his dance (to the best of his 40-something year old ability). The only time I've ever laughed harder at an episode is the blindfolded touch my body challenge. "I know what you done. It's ur fingers."
This is my favorite episode. Hearing Link help you along in the audition tape and Link getting excited hearing himself is so adorable. I love your friendship, it is so inspiring. Thanks for being here for me since I was 15 and now I'm 24
I actually don't find this that embarrassing. I think it shows how creative they were and how natural they were in front of a camera even all those years ago. He's clearly being satire in the video and it actually shows an early on version of their humor.
Honestly this isn’t even that bad! It’s hilarious!! But he’s actually really funny in it and it’s cool to see his personality shining through even all those years ago!
Rhetts chin looks super normal here, I know hes talked about it being something he's insecure about, and there are some photos that it doesn't look as pronounced, but he looks pretty dang good here, and the style is very fitting for the era.

I want to thank Rhett for reminding me that I am still so grateful that social media didn't exist when we were teens in the 90s.
Yup! You want to embarrass us, you better find a working VHS player!
The none-existence of SoMe at that time didn't help Rhett much, did it?!!!🤣

To be completely fair, young Rhett is exactly the type of person who would have been on The Real World. 10/10 audition video.
My thoughts exactly lol
he reminds me of Kirk from Gilmore girls 😂

It's because they did it a lot in their early twenties
Well I thought it was pretty embarassing 😂😂😂
Link's Southern accent is the unsung hero of this whole clip.
It’s really strong in this one haha
Truth
the saving grace
Dude I came here to say this! It's sooo much more pronounced back then. 😂 I love it.
Well, it's actually the sung hero xD

Their accents being so much stronger back then makes it so much funnier it’s like seeing alternate reality Rhett and link 😭

He's just learned to reign it in over the years
That's what happens when you grow up to be 6' 7" lol.

there is this problem, and its kept on the hush hush, most everyone's seen it, but they just don't discuss it
I plucked between my eyebrows bc he said that
He a real one for that
do y'all remember the eyebrow song by rhett and link LMFAO
Link hyping up Rhett in THE MOST southern accent had me dying 😂
link hyping rhett up in the thickest courtney accent has completely made my day

It’s funny when he started to form a mop with his hair
@@EpicAndrew97 totally!!!! Lol!
Until 21 year old goatee Link showed up. Then the smile disappeared
That very immediate almost pleading "no" from Rhett when Stevie said "birds and the bees" was everything
Link is usually the butt of the joke on a lot of things they do, so seeing it be Rhett instead is a nice change of pace.
Rhett is the butt of jokes for things he did 25 years ago, and Link is the butt of jokes for things he did last week lol
@@ICTheAlchemist Underrated comment.

Wisdom beyond your years.

I love how Rhett just clearly wants to shrivel into nothingness the whole time. It’s priceless
😂
I love it too 😂
I wonder who the decorator was? The signed (album?) behind Rhett is hilarious as decor.
GREAT CONTENT....
💃🙏💜🤣
it is INSANE how the presence or absence of hair can change a person's face
Just the thought of Link being behind the camera makes it even funnier. I can imagine his huge grin while recording😂 just hyping his bff up😭
Rhett, we all embarrassed ourselves. It's just that some of us didn't film it. 😂 I loved this episode and thought it was adorable.
Same!

THATS WHAT IM SAYING THAT WAS A BANGER
only if the backstreet boys do a backing vocals cameo with them...
NEED, YES, DO ✅️✅️✅️
heck yes
yes but without the little girls part
Link is such a supportive friend. Honestly I'm just jealous of your life experience I love it so much
Lol yeah that was my main takeaway from this as well.
haha , all i could think of is that meme "get you a friend that looks at you like, like link looks at rhett playing guitar" 😆
What is great is how the earrings and goatee definitely fit the time period this was filmed. And how Rhett at 21 is basically the same Rhett we have nowadays.
It is amazing to see that Rhett's personality was not cultivated in any way for GMM. The old video was pure Rhett and the same one we see today!
You could see the beginnings of our Rhett at times in those clips.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yesss!!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing!
While I love the crew and all the props and games and food, we need more episodes like this. Feels like old school GMM where Rhett & Link are just talking or telling stories.

@angeladeaner7065 Exactly this. Not knocking the newer vibes but I really miss the old days 🥲
just talking is Ear biscuits
to be fair, good mythical more is kinda just them telling stories with the inclusion of their crew while mildly doing something
Rhett watching himself dance and being impressed for a second was hilarious to me.
Finally Link gets the opportunity to embarrass Rhett, and he is gonna ENJOY it 🤣
Stevie too.
I love it when Rhett is the butt of the joke.
This is Links revenge for the last ear biscuits
I was so happy for Link. For once he wasn't the one taking it in the shorts.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I cannot stop laughing at the fact that Link was holding a camera while Rhett just busted some random moves 🤣🤣🤣🕺🕺🕺

They had never lived anywhere else at the time.
Link smiling because he found the footage is sending me into oblivion he is so proud
I’ve been watching these guys for the better part of the last decade and I have NEVER seen Rhett so defeated lmaooo

Couldn’t agree more, I am at work wiping away tears during lunch and my coworkers are so confused asking if I’m ok. Best episode ever
we gotta thank GMM channel for this laughs) Also thanks to the TH-cam itself for being a platform for this. Man, I feel great!)

I just found them last month
Yepp. The hardest I laughed so far about Rhett was in "Will It Cookie"...
Rhetts humor hasn't changed. It's beautiful.

Word
Not with the fanfic episode?
Ikr I was sweating for Rhett😂
I skipped ahead several times because it was too embarrassing 😬😓
The backstreet boys song was actually nice, Rhett and Link looked genuinely happy singing it.
They always say they thought they were going to be rockstars
Holy cow I didn't realize how much of their southern accents they have lost
I grew up near Raleigh NC and the way he pronounced it in the video made me feel like I was home.
Link being a supportive bestie while filming is the sweetest thing
I know everyone is like "oh Rhett was so strange" but look at Link trying to be a normal person during the harmony 😭
I've never seen Rhett so embarrassed before.

That sums it up perfectly.

I’m almost certain I’ve seen both of them do that move in recent dances.

This isn’t about link you weird link fan boys need to stop with that loser. Rhett is better in every way
Nope it’s about Rhett not link.
its revenge for all the losses on the show
