The one about the guy hovering over the bed like a ghost made me laugh. I like how Link thinks outside the box so often. I also like Rhett’s answer about the hamster wheel.
Gayathri Nair it’s kinda hard to run I’m a tie. He’s just saying it’s kinda hard to run to run in a tie instead of addressing the elephant in the room the hamster wheel
Vanity Fair, Vice news, and now The New Yorker? My gosh! These guys are on an interview roll these past days! So happy for them!! I will forever love GMM!
I think Rhett and Link did great for having to think of these responses on the spot. That would be really hard. They definitely did better than most of the others!
I disagree, I love Rhett & Link and I've been watching GMM for years, but I think they we're pretty bad at this, but I think that's to be expected, this isn't their type of comedy. But to say they did better than most others? I've only seen 3 other people do this, Nick Offerman, Bill Hader & Jim Gaffigan and I think they all did much better than Rhett & Link, just my opinion though.
I didn't care for it. I like rhett and link because they are a source of clean comedy in this gutter-minded world. So I get annoyed when they make too dirty of jokes. I get that others find it funny though.
1) Well, I guess he didn't say don't bake them... 2) Stock traitor 3) Well you've got a STANDING desk. 4) No Ma'am, I don't hear a "squeak-squeak" sound. 5) We just can't read puss-and-boots every night. 6) I was worried about Jack fending for himself, but he said he had a plan 7) ? 8) I told you we didn't need that Blue Apron membership 9) Show off
That's because most of these comedians aren't actually funny. They rely on the trappings of humor - quirky vocal inflections and body language and pseudo-transgressive ideas - to cover over this. Very similar to most modern pop music stars, who aren't actually talented musicians and rely instead on audio engineers, appearance, and cult of personality. Live performance without their habitual crutches shows their true colors.
@D.H. Obviously, comedy is subjective, but I disagree entirely. I just watched their most popular videos on TH-cam. Or at least, I tried to. I couldn't finish any of them. They're exactly what I'm talking about: Good video production, "quirky", not funny in the slightest; on the contrary, they're cringe-inducingly bland, simple, and corny.
@Jared Gann: Well, yeah... Are you saying Rhett and Link were bad but not quite as bad as others? Maybe... I don't know... but bad is bad. These guys and all those that bombed aren't funny in their main shtick either... it's just that these "live" performances, without the habitual crutches that support almost all "comedy" nowadays, lay bare their blandness. Jim Gaffigan, Nick Offerman, and Zach Woods did a good job with this, because they're actually clever and comedically skilled.
Pie one: "Stop second-guessing me and just eat it!" Cat one: "He's not spoled! he's just comfortable." office one: "He used to be on floor 5, i guess his stocks are going up!" Ruins One: "Why do men never read the instructions?" It's all i got.
#1 -- "Are you sure? Because it sure smells like apple." #2 - "Ignore him. He just wants people to ask about his standing desk." #3 - "Hey, do I _look_ like I'm ready for your presentation?" #4 - "...oh totally, bro, plenty of space, wheel all to myself... I'm telling you, you should eat him."
The only funny one was "so you guys aren't drinking tonight?" because like Rhett said, it ignores the absurdity of the set-up. Totally within the usual tone of these cartoons. The other ones were all way too overwritten. "I told you you left the oven on, Mom" was also short and punchy, but too obvious.
They aren't used to these types of videos. They aren't really standup comedians, they're just naturally funny. When someone asks you to be funny on the spot, it's almost impossible.
They generally operate with pre-written outlines for their shows, which involve scenarios that they react to really well. They did a great job thinking up spontaneous lines given it's in no way their forte.
I personaly would have Witten : 1:42 "you told me the office meeting was at 8 in the morning, and I was prepared." 3:45 "dear, maybe we should give the cat a less rich diet." 6:10 "he wants to be noticed always"
I've watched all of these in this series and so far I haven't laughed as hard as when the 9 year old girl was doing the captions. I think the issue is that the adults tend to over think them. Don't get me wrong, I think that the majority of the comedians/celebrities that have done this are normally very funny. The New Yorker should give the 9 year old a job captioning the cartoons.
These guys aren't comedians, so it makes sense that they'd be about as good at this as you or me. It's nice seeing someone normal have a bash at this, we have the comedians for the reliable laughs. Given their productions utilise pre-written outlines and rely on their reactions being engaging (rather than a need to be spontaneously creative), I think they did a great job.
0:10 Snake pie. 0:39 People are their best under pressure. 1:38 I'm in a meeting. 2:20 Viva la revolucion! 2:57 I always wondered what was under that robe. 3:54 I've got baggage. 4:21 Hi, Welcome to Hell. 4:56 No, I will not ask for directions. 5:41 We should invent a sport, and call it planking.
I would have gone the "That looks sinfully good" route for the Adam and Eve one. Also I love, because of how family friendly GMM tends to be, when they do something outside of GMM and they are more adult.
Just for fun, I created my own captions alongside. Idrc if you don’t like them, but if you find this funny, I’m glad I could do something for you. 1): “Yeah, but I don’t like Banana.” 2): “Looks like the stocks are going up.” 3): “why are you judging me? I just created the universal solution to Monday’s.” 4): 9-to-5. 5): “Now, Harold we’ve come together to address your love of King Louis the IV.” 6) “Yeah, I don’t know... I think they’ll be fine.” 7) Introvert’s Party 8) “I already told you you shouldn’t mix mentos and coke.” 9) Swimmers in the 1800s
Link: "this is my favourite part of the series , the writing and the waiting . I don't know Why they don't just cut it ou"*CUTS*
Yes, they did say those words.
Sudden, people like to comment their favorite parts. there is nothing wrong with that.
Yes, I understand that, I never said anything was wrong with it.
Ok, nice pointless comment?
There's no way you aren't seeing the irony right now.
The one about the guy hovering over the bed like a ghost made me laugh. I like how Link thinks outside the box so often. I also like Rhett’s answer about the hamster wheel.
Mythical Forest Creature I didn’t understand Rhett’s answer for the hamster wheel. Care to explain????
the guy in the picture could get his tie caught in the hamster wheel while he is running . Probably that.
I love Link's mind
Gayathri Nair it’s kinda hard to run I’m a tie. He’s just saying it’s kinda hard to run to run in a tie instead of addressing the elephant in the room the hamster wheel
I really appreciate how the editors actually turned the drawing for Rhett and Link at 2:15.
SixStringSurfer and the artist’s signature
My caption for this one would be. ‘Suzy said you were lying down on the job but this is too far!’
it kinda ruins the joke though, like its funny only if it were to be kept vertical
4:01 Did you remember to bring your emotional baggage?
Incredible
james c 😂😂 awesome
Gold, Jimmy. That’s 24 karat komedy right there.
Wow
Fifth one: "He's been acting up ever since he watched The Lion King."
Or: I think the Fancy Feast might be going to his head.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
That is GENIUS
How are they simultaneously the best AND worst at this activity? LOL.
Adam and Eve cartoon:
"Just like Mom used to make."
1st one “He never said we couldn’t bake the forbidden fruit.”
Lol
Vanity Fair, Vice news, and now The New Yorker? My gosh! These guys are on an interview roll these past days! So happy for them!! I will forever love GMM!
It's pre-organized publicity and marketing for the new season and upcoming tour dates :)
First one: "Your fruit pies will be the death of me."
Second one: "I heard he bought some stocks and bonds."
“He never said we couldn’t _bake_ the forbidden fruit”
I like this one more
For the one with the hamster wheel: I just feel like I'm going nowhere with this deal.
Rhett and Link are everywhere nowdays! 💙
hmm..
It makes me so happy!!!!!!
They deserve it!
OMG I just said the exact same thing when I saw this video. it's awesome! they deserve it!
They are doing a press tour for the new season
Second one: “Stocks and Bondage”
Genius! 👏
I think Rhett and Link did great for having to think of these responses on the spot. That would be really hard. They definitely did better than most of the others!

33KneesDeep I agree I felt like I could of thought of better jokes! I'm suprised because they are usually so funny and they are smart...
If they did better than the others, the others must have been on the zero end of the scale, because this was bad.
They are not funny
No. They're bad at it. Literally everyone else has been better, making them The Worst.
I did not walk in here expecting to have pornhub thrown at me, but I'm not mad either
With these videos they've done recently outside of their GMM show I'm starting to see a different side of Rhett and Link.
I didn't care for it. I like rhett and link because they are a source of clean comedy in this gutter-minded world. So I get annoyed when they make too dirty of jokes. I get that others find it funny though.
Peacock Feathers
The real word isn’t censored and they’re adults not 7 year olds.
“Can I tempt you with a slice of pie?”
“Gosh, Eve, that looks sinful”
Great pirate voice Link😂
ikr he killed that
1) Well, I guess he didn't say don't bake them... 2) Stock traitor 3) Well you've got a STANDING desk. 4) No Ma'am, I don't hear a "squeak-squeak" sound. 5) We just can't read puss-and-boots every night. 6) I was worried about Jack fending for himself, but he said he had a plan 7) ? 8) I told you we didn't need that Blue Apron membership 9) Show off
Airport: "It started out as a joke, but to be honest it makes flying way more enjoyable for me."
Bed Man: "'I've fallen and I can't get up' is a real medical condition, Dave!"
The bed one "I told you I wasn't getting out of bed just for this!"
Pirate scene: “Arrg! 8 points fer form...9 points fer style...and 25 points deducted fer, you know, death.”
This series is the only place that can make a comedian bland AF.
Jared Gann see the one with Jim Gaffigan. The guy is a genius.
That's because most of these comedians aren't actually funny. They rely on the trappings of humor - quirky vocal inflections and body language and pseudo-transgressive ideas - to cover over this.

@@jeremylavine i personally dont find Rhett and Link funny, but some of the other comedians theyve had do this just bomb on it.
@Jared Gann: Well, yeah... Are you saying Rhett and Link were bad but not quite as bad as others? Maybe... I don't know... but bad is bad. These guys and all those that bombed aren't funny in their main shtick either... it's just that these "live" performances, without the habitual crutches that support almost all "comedy" nowadays, lay bare their blandness.

"You also bypassed the comedy."
*BURRRRRN*
The last two were hilarious!!
1:34 have the reports on my bed by morning
“Unless it means both....therein comedy :)”
Bless you, Link
Second one: "I had heard a rumor that our company stocks were going to go up soon, I just didn't think that it would be today."
I love that Rhett and Link have been on so many different channels lately. Love these two!
Rhett is so good at these!
Pie one: "Stop second-guessing me and just eat it!"
Cat one: "He's not spoled! he's just comfortable."
office one: "He used to be on floor 5, i guess his stocks are going up!"
Ruins One: "Why do men never read the instructions?"
It's all i got.
The funniest part of the video is Link acting really stupid and Rhett just grinning at him the whole time
Links' beautifully literal responses (and Rhett’s) bring me such joy. The perfect antidote to New Yorker pretension.
5:07 I would put, “I told you, even if you were the last man on earth I STILL wouldn’t marry you!”
For the first one, “how the f*** did a snake bake a pie?” Perfection
The last one killed me 😂😂😂
#1 -- "Are you sure? Because it sure smells like apple."
#2 - "Ignore him. He just wants people to ask about his standing desk."
#3 - "Hey, do I _look_ like I'm ready for your presentation?"
#4 - "...oh totally, bro, plenty of space, wheel all to myself... I'm telling you, you should eat him."
Love them. Love this. Thank you.
This angle really accentuates Link's goozle.
The only funny one was "so you guys aren't drinking tonight?" because like Rhett said, it ignores the absurdity of the set-up. Totally within the usual tone of these cartoons.

Sure. If you want to write good captions, these two probably aren't the pair, but if you want other entertainment then they'll hook you up.
I think the one where he says “I shouldn’t have worn a tie today” was also pretty good because it does the same thing
Weird comment but I love Link's hands
Quibble S theres a few tumblr blogs dedicated to Rhett and Link’s hands (;
His rough calloused ranch hands
So awkwardly funny. Love it! ❣️
The last second of this video was the funniest
Bank cartoon:
"Wow, they're not kidding when they say 'penalty for early withdrawal'"
I think for the one with the two people with the cement overshoes. The woman with the wine glass is saying, bon voyage, you two!
Hamster wheel: “I just cannot get to the nozzle! I know the company wants to cut back on water cooler costs but this is ridiculous!”
My first thought when I saw the one with the office man in the bed was “at least I’m here” bc that’s literally how I feel walking into class.
I personaly would have Witten :
1:42 "you told me the office meeting was at 8 in the morning, and I was prepared."
3:45 "dear, maybe we should give the cat a less rich diet."
6:10 "he wants to be noticed always"
Garden of Eden: “Sorry, I don’t think that’ll fool Him either”
I've watched all of these in this series and so far I haven't laughed as hard as when the 9 year old girl was doing the captions. I think the issue is that the adults tend to over think them. Don't get me wrong, I think that the majority of the comedians/celebrities that have done this are normally very funny. The New Yorker should give the 9 year old a job captioning the cartoons.
Agreed. The Nick Kroll video was entertaining IMO
These guys aren't comedians, so it makes sense that they'd be about as good at this as you or me. It's nice seeing someone normal have a bash at this, we have the comedians for the reliable laughs.
Given their productions utilise pre-written outlines and rely on their reactions being engaging (rather than a need to be spontaneously creative), I think they did a great job.
idk the zach woods and abby jacobson one made me cry laughing
I agree...most aren't very clever. Jim Gaffigan did a good job, too. It's tough to come up with these and not many people can do it.
The way he looks at the camera when he says "Freeze to death" terrifies me.
The hamster wheel needs to be “The squeaking? New aerobic desk....sharper image catalogue..”
“What’s pornhub?”
“Idk I just heard people talking about it”
That’s like when your parents ask you something and you try to act innocent
This was awesome! 😂
Love it. Deeper meaning and makes you think. It’s truly funny.
I thought this would a bit mild, but it was more on the hilarious side than I thought! I like their sense of humor 😄
0:10 Snake pie.
0:39 People are their best under pressure.
1:38 I'm in a meeting.
2:20 Viva la revolucion!
2:57 I always wondered what was under that robe.
3:54 I've got baggage.
4:21 Hi, Welcome to Hell.
4:56 No, I will not ask for directions.
5:41 We should invent a sport, and call it planking.
If their shirts were household decoratives, Rhett would be the curtains and Link would be the couch pillows.
2nd one:" I borrowed Bill's stapler without asking"
1:30 "I told you I'm not really up until I've had my coffee!"
1:31 "I told you, I don't get out of bed for more than $5,000!"
The cooperate humor one
“Looks like bill got a raise”
Office scene: “They said they were planning on increasing stocks by 50 percent, but I didn’t know they meant this”
Giant Running Wheel: "No, Barbara. I don't care how many people use chairs now. They're silly, and you're silly!"
Office: "You pick bad stocks, you get in bad stocks."
I think "So you guys aren't drinking tonight?" is pretty great actually.
For the first one “today’s cartoon is sponsored by adam and eve” 😂
3:13 "I knew it Larry, he's been reading too much Garfield"
“Who’s saying I sleep at the office?”; “So, Felix, things will be changing in about 9 months...”
Cat scene: “Look, no matter how hard you try to be a lion, you’re still just a cat! (a fat one too)”
Link: "I dont know why they dont cut this ou- *cuts to next clip*
Alright, let's see it."
Hahaha great editing 👍
5:01 “ I mean the pizza delivery guy is over 30 minutes u know what that means!”
"Therein comedy" made me laugh more than any caption they could have written 0:59
I would have gone the "That looks sinfully good" route for the Adam and Eve one. Also I love, because of how family friendly GMM tends to be, when they do something outside of GMM and they are more adult.
My favorite is “He didn’t say we couldn’t _bake_ the forbidden fruit!”
That oven one is legit funny.
3:50 Mr Peabody & Sherman's antics only got creepier with age.
Very funny! I really enjoyed this one...
"Unless it means both...therein, comedy."
For the airport one:
You mean, my emotional support human needs his own ticket?
First: "Don't tempt me"
First one: “that snake just gave me the best apple pie recipe”
Just for fun, I created my own captions alongside. Idrc if you don’t like them, but if you find this funny, I’m glad I could do something for you.
1): “Yeah, but I don’t like Banana.”
2): “Looks like the stocks are going up.”
3): “why are you judging me? I just created the universal solution to Monday’s.”
4): 9-to-5.
5): “Now, Harold we’ve come together to address your love of King Louis the IV.”
6) “Yeah, I don’t know... I think they’ll be fine.”
7) Introvert’s Party
8) “I already told you you shouldn’t mix mentos and coke.”
9) Swimmers in the 1800s
There is another guy on the plank.... "How am I supposed to follow that?!"
4:20 those people are just about ready to kick the bucket
1:28 “oh him, in the stocks? That’s Keith, he tried to cop a feel of carol, the CEO.”
It's hard to imagine that these two are intentional comedians 😂😂
DID RHETT JUST SAY P O R N H U B. MY CHILDHOOD. MY INNOCENDCE?Q?W?
You've not heard them swear then? Haha
@@newleif9739 swearing is fine, but sometimes they go too far
I agree, I watch rhett and link for their clean comedy, there's enough trash and dirty minded comedians out there already.
5:04 "Sorry honey I thought I saw a spider"
4:53 “Oh stop wine-ing”
That's Dave, He's in stocks.
The dog: “King for a day.”
“It was a mistake to ever domesticate felines”
Show what he knows about cats, felines domesticated themselves!
DeathnoteBB “I said I want a Kit Kat, not King Cat”
4:19 “Sarah, make sure to take the wrong bag at baggage claim”
Good job, R&L!
4:34 AHA...we found the perfect wedding cake toppers
Fifth one: "Guuuurl...you think you got baggage"
Adam & Eve: "Yeah, I saw that movie, but I don't wanna."
Cat: "This 'Fur-King' joke has gone too far."
I don't get your Adam and eve one?
I was thinking of American Pie. Eve is suggesting he tries what the guy in the movie did, but he doesn't wanna do it.
"Don't be mad Adam, but the limbless-yucky-tongue thing gave me a great recipe this time."
5:01 ; fine art, getting more lively.
I love Rhett and Link
