Right, it felt like something you'd read about in a psychological study from the 1970s before they were like "maybe we should do less fucked up things to people" hahahaha
21:15 Jared having a nervous breakdown over the word "cooling rack" because he thinks its a riddle because he doesnt know what a cooling rack even is is fucking KILLING ME 😂😂😂😂😂 POOR GUY
I used to work at an escape room, and I constantly told my boss that I thought a kitchen themed room would be hilarious and fun; they told me the potential riddles wouldn't be creative or challenging enough. Oh, how truly vindicated I feel today. Please, please, PLEASE make more episodes of this show.
PLEASE post the behind-the-scenes making-of this episode in Second Try? Whoever planned and executed all this deserves huge accolades and probably a big raise
Giving them a scavenger hunt to find 12 little men is a fantastic way to force them to wait for the cakes to cool down a bit before filling them. Fantastic planning on the producers' part!
I rarely comment but wanted to say that I LOVE this pilot, please PLEASE make it a regular series. As others have noted, it gives Taskmaster vibes, which is truly the highest compliment. Also, Zach standing on the counter and quoting Rorschach while the kitchen growls at him is a power move and I respect it.
Whichever staff member(s) came up with this concept have my eternal gratitude and admiration. And they should get a raise. More episodes of Escape the Kitchen, please! Edit: It's nice to see so many people agree!
I hope this series gets the love it deserves. I’ve been watching since they were still just “Guys try…” and this is one of my favorite things they’ve ever done.
I want to see the absolute chaos and fun that Ryan and Shane would bring to this. Especially if they don't tell them what they will be doing before hand.
This is genuinely one of the most entertaining shows on this channel. When the piñata was slowly lowered while they had zero awareness of it, the baking soda >> baking powder, the green and red lights, the rhyming clues, the editing, it is so AMAZING!
The sheer joy from Zach on getting the okay to eat the Confirmed Gluten Free muffins is wonderful. Watching them try to do anything else in the kitchen is agonizing however, in a very captivating way.
I feel like he's definitely done that before! I lowkey hope he just said it for the video, and that he does actually remember that whipping cream makes something lmfao
@@alexisrose-t5fduring the start of the year video, they said that march would be “pilot month” where they test out new concepts for potential series on the channel. so yes a pilot.
@@alexisrose-t5fthe try guys are doing pilot month for March, every week they pilot a new series and if it goes well they may turn it into a series of videos like without a recipe or 4v1
This is definitely one of the pilots i wanna see more of. Not only is it fun for us to watch them fumble around the kitchen, but clearly the guys and crew are having lots of fun with it too! Also i love that "The Room" is literally just Mark
The “I know right? Fuck you.” in reference to Johnny’s comment to Zach during WAR gingerbread houses is absolutely killing me, that was comedic genius and it did not go unnoticed
The high shot of the kitchen ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED afterwards... if the b-roll of whoever had to clean that is on Patreon let me know cuz I will sign up
how jared is gently craving the groud , cracking the egg in bowl , and using the paper cuter to rip the apron vs zach just throwing into the floor, sink and rips by hand is so hilarious
This is one of the most inventive things you’ve done in years. So fun and engaging. I always liked when I could hear Rachel giving hints during Without A Recipe. This is like that with a hint of the SAW movies x10.
I also immediately thought of Taskmaster! They read the task/instructions with that unique mix of bafflement and fear. Also always look into the table.
This pilot is killing it! From the red and green lights to room persona. The details are amazing and kudos to the brilliant minds who created this. I am so into it. Also behind the scenes and interviews with Zach and Jared afterwards!
This actually made me appreciate Jared as a part of the Try Guys crew in a way I hadn’t before (he’s so earnest when struggling through a challenge), and I definitely see the Taskmaster influence too. Would love to see more of this!
This is THE BEST Try Guys concept I've seen in a long while. The setup gave me Task Master vibes, which I LOVE. Do more like this please!!! The communicating via red and green lights cracked me up.
You know you’ve watched too many Try Guys videos if you can recognize Nick immediately just from his silhouette 😂😂 Love this concept tho, hope they make more of this!!
Whoever came up with this idea in the Try Guys company: I’m forever grateful to you, I adore the Taskmaster influence, and I highly support more of this and other Taskmaster inspired videos because it’s so incredible and entertaining!!! Send the whole team on a taskmaster-esque adventure, they’ll probably hate it but I’ll love it and watch it over and over. Anyway, I’ve been a viewer since buzzfeed and I applaud how the brand and team has developed over the years. Love to you all, keep crushing it!! ♥️♥️
This was a FANTASTIC pilot. I'd LOVE to see more of these. Obviously its not the easiest showto make, I can tell a huge amount of effort and logistics went into it, which I appreciate so much. It's so fun to watch id love to watch more of this, either with Zach and Jared again or with a mix of other people (I feel like Kwesi would shine in this show!)
8:24 Zach not knowing what a loom is and quoting "Fruit of the Loom" as a brand but not realizing - IT'S CLOTHING, ZACH, HENCE IT BEING FRUIT OF THE LOOM, LOOMS MAKE CLOTH 😂 I love this show, please never stop ❤
Both the incorrect assumptions and the startling correct revelations are excellent! I like the red light / green light responses, and the sass between the guys and the room.
As someone who works at an escape room, I think this is a really cool way to go about the show! Puzzles are short and sweet (pun intended), and it's hilarious to watch Zach and Jared scramble (another pun) for success. Love this!
10/10 pilot, incredible execution. i loved screaming the answers at my computer screen and laughing hysterically as zach and jared continually walked by the solutions. please do more episodes, this is an amazing concept!!!
This is honestly one of the most original ideas I’ve seen in a while! I don’t know if something similar was made before, but man, this is soooo freaking great! Production Value is amazing! The editing is top notch! Honestly the roto job of the guy we won’t name in the end is fenomenal! Congrats try guys!
This was so much fun!!!! Though, NGL, before the judging was even mentioned I was hoping (half-expecting) Rosanna Pansino to pop through the curtain at the end, shouting "TODAY we'll be judging these dishes on taste, presentation -- AND -- 'Is it a roulade?!?!?!?!'"
I’m not sure if they set it up in two separate identical kitchens (like they use for the live shows) but if not, they had to reset that ENTIRE mess for the next guy 😭 Even if they used two kitchens, having to make two of all those clues is still such a feat
i was wondering the same thing while watching!! logistically filming one after the other with the same set, is probably easier. this was just amazing 🙌🙌🙌 i hope this will become one of many many episodes 😂💕💕💕
I think they only have one of those kitchens because Zach said just painting the cabinets green cost thousands on their Architectural Digest studio tour
They only have one kitchen. When they do the regular season WAR, they can only film 2 people in the kitchen at a time. For the live WAR specials, they built a makeshift second kitchen so they can film all 4 contestants cooking at the same time.
jared is by far the funniest guest in the kitchen. he makes me cackle every time. “can openers make me think of old people” is going to echo in my brain as I fall asleep
![PURPEECH - นี่ฉันเองคนที่... (It's me) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NuhHd0hOOg8/mqdefault.jpg)
The red and green lights acting as reinforcements is pure diabolical energy. I am here for it.
Without the lights they would be clueless
Right, it felt like something you'd read about in a psychological study from the 1970s before they were like "maybe we should do less fucked up things to people" hahahaha
I want to know so badly who was in charge of turning them on and off because I can imagine their maniacal smile XD
21:15 Jared having a nervous breakdown over the word "cooling rack" because he thinks its a riddle because he doesnt know what a cooling rack even is is fucking KILLING ME 😂😂😂😂😂 POOR GUY
I had to pause the video because I was laughing so much.
It low-key stressed me out a bit but is so funny it’s unreal
I keep repeating "a rack to cool" right along with him. A new mantra to repeat when I can't find something 😂
He did know how to pronounce roulade, so I'll at least give him that.
He was so hung up on the “to cool” part like oh no Jared 😭😭
I used to work at an escape room, and I constantly told my boss that I thought a kitchen themed room would be hilarious and fun; they told me the potential riddles wouldn't be creative or challenging enough. Oh, how truly vindicated I feel today. Please, please, PLEASE make more episodes of this show.
Just, e-mail this to your boss or something. 😂😂😂
Just contact the try guys with your ideas about it!!
As a scaredy cat who loves activities and puzzles that would've been perfect for me lol
Wouldn't having access to fire (or heat high enough) be hazardous if given to random people?
They stole your idea and sold it to try guys 😂
I'm dying at Jared's "a rack to COOL?!" part 😂 like as if saying it a different way will magically make him understand it 😂
Sometimes ya gotta say it a couple times so your brain registers the information
I love that it’s not even a riddle
PLEASE post the behind-the-scenes making-of this episode in Second Try? Whoever planned and executed all this deserves huge accolades and probably a big raise
Came here to say the exact same thing
Yes exactly! This is awesome!!
yaaas
THIS! A million times this.
Yes and also Zach and Jared talking about their experiences together afterwards please, I want to know how they felt!
Giving them a scavenger hunt to find 12 little men is a fantastic way to force them to wait for the cakes to cool down a bit before filling them. Fantastic planning on the producers' part!
Wow. I missed that on my first watch. You're right! They definitely can't sit still 😂
Except Jared found some early 😅
Genius move
😂
I THOUGHT YOU MEANT LITTLE PEOPLE BEFORE WATCHING IT AHAHAHH
Zach, grabbing a pumpkin: "There's an orange..."
Haha gotta love his weed brain working
Also I'm referencing that he is now mostly known as the try guy that is all about weed and getting high
if he had only said "Thats an orange... pumpkin"
Even better, that was an acorn squash XD
😂
I rarely comment but wanted to say that I LOVE this pilot, please PLEASE make it a regular series. As others have noted, it gives Taskmaster vibes, which is truly the highest compliment. Also, Zach standing on the counter and quoting Rorschach while the kitchen growls at him is a power move and I respect it.
Try Guys meets Taskmaster was my immediate thought! Nothing compares to TM but I like the way this went.
All that's missing is a diabolical Alex Horne character to watch them. I want this to stay as a regular series.
@@jl7998I wonder if they will ever try an American version of Taskmaster again (after the abysmal failure it was), and if Zach would be on it.
@@algae0 If they ever revive the American version, I'd hope he'd be on it. He has the perfect chaotic energy for it.
A try guys task master sounds absolutely amazing
Whichever staff member(s) came up with this concept have my eternal gratitude and admiration. And they should get a raise. More episodes of Escape the Kitchen, please!
Edit: It's nice to see so many people agree!
Agreed. This was so thoroughly planned and so well done.
I hope this series gets the love it deserves. I’ve been watching since they were still just “Guys try…” and this is one of my favorite things they’ve ever done.
I second this!
My gut tells me Rachel had a hand in this
I want more of this. I didn’t know I needed it in my life.
"are you guys going to kill me finally?" LOVE this concept please make 80 more of them and make Kwesi do one
To the PA’s who have to clean up afterwards, you are appreciated!
And if this is a continuing series, Marissa & Kwesi would be a great addition.
My first thought was that I hope that kitchen has a drain in the floor 👀
I would also love to see Joyce!
PLEASE do this with Kwesi
MARISSA AND KWESI BRO
I want to see the absolute chaos and fun that Ryan and Shane would bring to this. Especially if they don't tell them what they will be doing before hand.
This is genuinely one of the most entertaining shows on this channel. When the piñata was slowly lowered while they had zero awareness of it, the baking soda >> baking powder, the green and red lights, the rhyming clues, the editing, it is so AMAZING!
*Jared reveals that he doesn't know what a gourd is*
Me: They're going to die in there, aren't they?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 🎃
Between that and the cooling rack I was like this is hopeless lol
SHOCKED at the lack of knowing what a gourd is
What is a gourd? I'm not a native english speaker.
@@gunnarkilborn3915 idk the real definition but they're pumpkins and squash and similar vegetables
The decision to make Nick all blocked out at the end like that one Black Mirror episode was eerily genius
NICK! I've been scrolling comments trying to find someone else talking about that - I couldn't remember his name but can see him in my mind. YES.
Same! I recognised his shape entirely but I zoned out the name too lol
why did they have to block him out?
@@jasminegarridoJust to add to the creepy theme.
Thank you for confirming! I thought it was Nick but I wasn’t 100% sure!!
I'd love to see a bts edit of the staff reacting to zach and jared's choices and them controlling the printer and colored lights too.
+
And to see the planning and set up! This took so much work to set up and run, and it turned out so great. A+ idea and execution.
And when the water broke.
@@justbrendap590 yes please, all of this! I really hope they filmed the backend as well.
Yes, this! When the water came pouring out of the cabinet, I was thinking we needed a BTS!!! 😂
The sheer joy from Zach on getting the okay to eat the Confirmed Gluten Free muffins is wonderful. Watching them try to do anything else in the kitchen is agonizing however, in a very captivating way.
26:15 Zach: “You’re telling me that if I just whip cream it becomes something”
Yes it’s called whipped cream
And if you keep going it becomes butter and buttermilk!
I said those exact words!! haha!
Me too!!!
lolol exactly
I feel like he's definitely done that before! I lowkey hope he just said it for the video, and that he does actually remember that whipping cream makes something lmfao
“You will be judged. By who?? The Devil?!” Lmao Jared I love you
I loved that line so much!!
I had to stop the video to catch my breath I was DEAD
Favorite line but truly.... Who was it?
@@fancynecromancy Nick!
I really hope this pilot episode takes off. This could be so much fun with more guests
Pilot ? Lmao 🤣 it’s a TH-cam channel
This is the month of pilots to see what people want to watch@@alexisrose-t5f
@@alexisrose-t5fduring the start of the year video, they said that march would be “pilot month” where they test out new concepts for potential series on the channel. so yes a pilot.

The editing on this was phenomenal, the prep for this is so well throughout 10/10
This game is f*cking brilliant. Perfect casting. The camera person hiding behind the plastic sheeting is cracking me up.
It must have been so weird to be the camera person!
I feel like Zach and Jared are the two guys that would forget about Purge Day until the last minute 🤷♂️
I feel like Zach and Jared are obviously the two who would forget anything 😂
100% 😂
This is what makes them so relatable to my ADHD self 😂
🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
Why are they shooting at us lol
Both of them putting on the blindfold unnecessarily for the piñata is so perfect
I love their honesty for that!
I was laughing so hard the entire time
Popkin peeping each scene was even better hahaha
This is hands down one of the most unique shows I've ever seen. I love it. PLEASE do more of this
Okay but can we all just imagine kwesi and Keith doing this for a second… just perfection 😂
Kwesi vs Keith wouldn't be a fair fight 😅
@@JRodMcSniper180 so true 😂😂
Keith and Johnny
I had the same thought it is going to be amazing!!!!
Eugene, however, would either have a full blown meltdown or just walk out 😅
jared using a tablespoon for the butter when butter is measured out by tablespoons on the paper is killing me
Yep, that was the most hilarious part to me.
It caused me physical discomfort 🤣
the man didn't know what a COOLING RACK was! Are we really surprised about the butter?? lol
The choice to use a robot voice vs the typical narration style was a GENUIS move
Watching Jared say "COOLING RACK" over and over was the highlight of my year
Props to whoever cast Popkin in a pumpkin recipe video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jared is our star … you read this ⭐️
The way I immediately recognized Nick even as a scary black void
The second he came out I was like "That's Nick right? The judge is Nick?"
You could totally tell and I was laughing the entire time.
It makes sense Nick was a food critic
Same 🤣
Yes! I immediately went, "oh hey, Nick". Lol
11:10 The 'rebrand' joke absolutely ended me, 10/10 editing
Zack’s joy and wonder from the clues is so pure
a million percent!!!!
This is definitely one of the pilots i wanna see more of. Not only is it fun for us to watch them fumble around the kitchen, but clearly the guys and crew are having lots of fun with it too!
Also i love that "The Room" is literally just Mark
I think it’s Nick?
@@laryssapichocki no you're so right, for some reason I thought his name was mark 😂
Unless you're thinking of "oh hi Mark" from Tommy Wiseau's movie The Room?
The way they only have colored lights to let them know when they’re f-ing up is hilarious
worked so well!
Bc they know that they would be forever if they didn’t
The “I know right? Fuck you.” in reference to Johnny’s comment to Zach during WAR gingerbread houses is absolutely killing me, that was comedic genius and it did not go unnoticed
I LOVED that bit 😂 Such an iconic quote, loved the throwback.
Me too! I was going to comment this but you already got it, glad it wasn’t missed 😂
was delighted to hear it
As much as I loved how distressed the trolley episode made guests, this takes the cake as my favorite pilot thus far.
The slight growl to the red light is incredible. Huge pilot season success - I want hours of this series!
imagine no lighting clues but all of them working together to solve the game.
as someone who works in a real escape room, this is a PERFECT example of how teams just... overthink everything. great video you guys!
The high shot of the kitchen ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED afterwards... if the b-roll of whoever had to clean that is on Patreon let me know cuz I will sign up
I feel so bad for whoever had to clean up their messes. 🤣 They definitely earned their pay that day.
The menacing piñata lowering had me dying. So so good
The red light green light instant feedback system is quite rewarding to my brain.
I love the kitchen's voice responding to Zach at the end😁
it was a really great idea! I feel like they would have gotten so off task without the confirmation from the lights lol
28:37 the call back to jonny's iconic "i know right? fuck you
That rebrand joke went severely under appreciated
ngl, it flew over my head until I read your comment. I guess my mind doesn't even acknowledge the old era colors as such anymore 😭
DUDE IT WAS SO FUNNY WHAT A BURNNN
omg i was looking for someone who noticed it too! LMAO
Time stamp?
@@Raspbettyjam11:07
the editors on this video absolutely killed it, shoutout to them
how jared is gently craving the groud , cracking the egg in bowl , and using the paper cuter to rip the apron vs zach just throwing into the floor, sink and rips by hand is so hilarious
But then it totally went the other way once the water balloons appeared!
Well, the balloons weren't likely to be ingredients.
28:38 Having the kitchen answer like Johnny judging one of Zach's dishes is such a hilarious and subtle throwback to iconic Try Guy lore. 👏 👏 👏
This is one of the most inventive things you’ve done in years. So fun and engaging.
I always liked when I could hear Rachel giving hints during Without A Recipe. This is like that with a hint of the SAW movies x10.
YES I was also getting Saw vibes in the best way possible 😂
Ending it with Jared's "alright guys see ya later" is so perfect, like it was just a normal day visiting the Try Guys office 😂
I see the taskmaster influence here! I love how they were waiting to read the cards so the timer wouldn't start
I was just thinking the same thing! I absolutely adore taskmaster!
YES
When they had to find all the men... So Taskmaster
Yes I was thinking Taskmaster! Loved it.
Yeah, I realized at one point I didn't think of looking under the table (for them to look). It's like Taskmaster rules #1
"where do I fold them, on the parchment paper?!" is giving "YOU JUST FOLD IN THE CHEESE" energy
😂😂😂
yes i thought soo! xD schitts creek is the best
That and Sleeping Beauty when the fairy folds whole shelled eggs into the cake batter lol
Yes!!!
YES I literally said that out loud haha
I can't physically explain how perfectly up my alley this is. I cannot WAIT to see more of this series.
This is SO cool. Kudos to all the staff who wrote all the poems, hid the hints, thought of the games, and this whole concept all around. Great show!
This has strong taskmaster vibes, which I appreciate. Also, Nick coming in as the judge was great. Very surreal! This is a pilot season success to me!
not us all knowing that man even as a shadow
I knew immediately lol@@skylargreene279
The man can't do an outfit makeover video and then be unrecognizable for his style ever since then 😂😂😂so glad to recognize the ~voidspace~ judge ❤❤
I was losing it at Nick being this shadowy celestial figure lol@@skylargreene279
I also immediately thought of Taskmaster! They read the task/instructions with that unique mix of bafflement and fear. Also always look into the table.
This pilot is killing it! From the red and green lights to room persona. The details are amazing and kudos to the brilliant minds who created this. I am so into it. Also behind the scenes and interviews with Zach and Jared afterwards!
Yes! I think adding little interviews at the end of the videos where the contestants briefly talk about their experience would be a great addition
This actually made me appreciate Jared as a part of the Try Guys crew in a way I hadn’t before (he’s so earnest when struggling through a challenge), and I definitely see the Taskmaster influence too. Would love to see more of this!
The red and green lights as reinforcement made me let out a huge cackle 😂
I love it when these guys get put in a kitchen and just try to survive but have no idea of what they're even doing
This is a new idea of theirs & I’m here for it!!😊
@@thatgirl9532 Me too!! :D
The concept, the EDITING, the fun elements like the piñata, the clue in the egg, etc. - this video was so fun to watch!! Top notch, everyone! 🎉
This is THE BEST Try Guys concept I've seen in a long while. The setup gave me Task Master vibes, which I LOVE. Do more like this please!!! The communicating via red and green lights cracked me up.
try guys taskmaster would be SOOOO good! but idk if they show it in America...let alone get the rights for it lol
You know you’ve watched too many Try Guys videos if you can recognize Nick immediately just from his silhouette 😂😂
Love this concept tho, hope they make more of this!!
The set up for the video was perfect with Zach and Jared both pronouncing "roulade" differently.
Jared may have pronounced roulade correctly, but Zach’s pronunciation of kitchen “roulette” is probably more accurate! 😂
Whoever came up with this idea in the Try Guys company: I’m forever grateful to you, I adore the Taskmaster influence, and I highly support more of this and other Taskmaster inspired videos because it’s so incredible and entertaining!!! Send the whole team on a taskmaster-esque adventure, they’ll probably hate it but I’ll love it and watch it over and over. Anyway, I’ve been a viewer since buzzfeed and I applaud how the brand and team has developed over the years. Love to you all, keep crushing it!! ♥️♥️
YES!!!!! It's giving Taskmaster plus Saw and I love it 🤣
The green light for "are these gluten free?" really got me 😂 this video is brilliant, please do more
This was a FANTASTIC pilot. I'd LOVE to see more of these. Obviously its not the easiest showto make, I can tell a huge amount of effort and logistics went into it, which I appreciate so much.
It's so fun to watch id love to watch more of this, either with Zach and Jared again or with a mix of other people (I feel like Kwesi would shine in this show!)
8:24 Zach not knowing what a loom is and quoting "Fruit of the Loom" as a brand but not realizing - IT'S CLOTHING, ZACH, HENCE IT BEING FRUIT OF THE LOOM, LOOMS MAKE CLOTH 😂 I love this show, please never stop ❤
What's worse, he could have just changed the line to "lead me from my doom" and avoided the whole issue 😄
Except a loom isn't clothing. It's the apparatus used to weave the clothing.
I did say "looms make cloth" but I could have worded it more specifically?@@fidget918
Both the incorrect assumptions and the startling correct revelations are excellent! I like the red light / green light responses, and the sass between the guys and the room.
@@fidget918the clothing brand is called "fruit of the loom". the "fruit" is cloth with which you make clothing. op didn't say a loom is clothing.
I really like the usage of lights to help guide them along instead of using sounds like dings or buzzes
I feel like… putting Jared in situations where he has no clues at all but have to improvise would yield the most-hilarious videos
"Who is going to judge this - the DEVIL?!" 😂😂😂
The fact neither of them knew it was coming or what was happening when they walked in was THE BEST.
The way he wandered around looking for the cooling rack, and even saying out loud "cooling rack"😂😭
Holding his roll like a baby😂
Jared’s hair getting increasingly more unhinged is the best part of this video! 🤣
As someone who works at an escape room, I think this is a really cool way to go about the show! Puzzles are short and sweet (pun intended), and it's hilarious to watch Zach and Jared scramble (another pun) for success. Love this!
That baking soda vs. baking powder graphic was SO out of pocket 😂
For real, I was trying to find someone else who noticed that, I saw the red in the graphic and I was a little confused for a moment 😂
The editing was so good!
I was so confused on my initial watch, but now I get it.. 🙊
that was so funny omggg
Before the shoot
Rachel: Escape the Kitchen is gonna be great!!!
After the shoot (and the cleaning bill)
Rachel: Escape the Kitchen has been cancelled
Watch it get mysteriously renewed like Candid Competition 😂
Haha I wonder if it's actually that much more messy than Without a Recipe though 😅
Nah they 100% planned for the mess. It's not really that bad anyway.
11:13 EDITORS YOURE SO REAL FOR THAT. I GASPPPPEDDDD!!
OMG THE SHADEEEEEE I LOVE IT!!!
OMG I didn't even realize what they did.
I really appreciate a themed sponsor segment, it's such attention to detail
11:11 "BETTER SODA" joke made me laugh out loud. Definitely needed that rebranding 🤣
The scream I scrumpt!!!
Oh my god I didn’t even read it changed from “Baking Soda” to “Better Soda” cuz I was laughing at the graphics 😂
This was so chaotic and I loved every minute of it. Please continue this series!! Keith and Kwesi would make an awesome follow up to Zach and Jared
If this won't be a series I will commit a crime. This NEEDS to have seasons. SEASONS
This is Candid Competition level of unhinged and I am here for it.
As someone who's been here from before you were independent let me tell you this is one of the most creative series youve made and one of my favorites
Whoever suggested Jared for the first ep is a GENIUS!!!! Jared is my fav reservist Try Guy❤😂
Mine, too! He’s so effortlessly funny to me. Pure and hilarious :)
2:12 this is what I think will happen if I accidentally take something from the mini fridges in hotel rooms
LMAO this is such a mood. Big flashing red light and a $500 charge on your bill 😂
10/10 pilot, incredible execution. i loved screaming the answers at my computer screen and laughing hysterically as zach and jared continually walked by the solutions. please do more episodes, this is an amazing concept!!!
Ppl have been BEGGING the try guys to do escape rooms for YEARS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OMFG. MORE!!!!!
Not Zach’s little ‘let’s f*cking go’ at the piñata
21:29 the "rack to cool" wasn't even one of the riddles 😂😂😂 I love Jared
Whoever thought of the Better Soda Punchline deserves a raise 🤣 We stan jokes that repurpose trauma
This is honestly one of the most original ideas I’ve seen in a while! I don’t know if something similar was made before, but man, this is soooo freaking great! Production Value is amazing!
The editing is top notch! Honestly the roto job of the guy we won’t name in the end is fenomenal! Congrats try guys!

Same lmaooo
I can't express how much I want this series to continue this is absolutely one of my favorite pilots
11:10 the way they took away the red for it to become better so is chefs kiss 👨🍳🤏💋🤌
24:09 Jared using the measuring spoon for the tablespoon of butter has me dying 😂
Massive props to whoever did the motion tracking for the judge! that is some meticulous work 👏
This is one of my new favorite try guy shows. Seriously. This should be on network tv it’s such a great idea.
Zach: "You're telling me that if I just whip... cream, it becomes something?"
Whip cream: Am I a joke to you?
Standing ovation for everyone involved in the conception of this format. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Please make this a series.
I’m not sure if they set it up in two separate identical kitchens (like they use for the live shows) but if not, they had to reset that ENTIRE mess for the next guy 😭 Even if they used two kitchens, having to make two of all those clues is still such a feat

They only have one kitchen. When they do the regular season WAR, they can only film 2 people in the kitchen at a time. For the live WAR specials, they built a makeshift second kitchen so they can film all 4 contestants cooking at the same time.
27:34 That’s GOTTA be Nick!!! I Think I Know Nick When I See Him!!!
It DEFINITELY is. Always bet on gay lmao
Definitely! I didn’t think he had that distinct of a silhouette but it turns out he did.
jared is by far the funniest guest in the kitchen. he makes me cackle every time. “can openers make me think of old people” is going to echo in my brain as I fall asleep
