wait- did you film this in the workroom?
yes
@@RunnerEye So kind of you to let Ru use your studio as the werkroom of her small show. #SupportLocalQueens ❤
@@missdamenoir2830IM HOWLING LMAO 😂😂😂😂
@@RunnerEye u ate on this video. keep it up king ur doing great
He also filmed the Patreon ad on the real Club Penguin Island
It's giving GAY watch mojo and i'm here for it
Better than ms mojo, I hate the way they edit the clips and I don’t care for her voice lmao
@@Toshiboyai true
But like good tho
WatchHomo? 🤔
Should’ve called it watchhomo lmaoooo
I actually loved how RuPaul hyped everyone up during the live singing challenge in season 2, didn't matter how bad they were, that was low-key wholesome
Honestly, though suggested as to be low, bottom without immunity, Tyra killed the rocker challenge. Like that was one of the most entertaining, idgaf performances of that challenge and I lived for it
Not to mention that Henry Rollins was a great guest judge!
@@AcetylCoA605i loved Tyras Performance
@@AcetylCoA605Exactly. Idgaf if they’re bad at singing because not all drag queens sing. She PERFORMED and I wouldn’t have even put her Low regardless of immunity
@@AcetylCoA605singing was bad, dancing was GREAT

Dont try it lil boy
bob was the first to do two characters for snatch game, a real queen for the people
And then it was obligatory on all winners, and I think Canada vs the world if I remember correctly
our queen for the peehole😍🙏‼️
TRUE!!!
You beat me to the punch!!!!! Lol, Bob killed both impersonations
I love it when RuPaul doesn't laugh, she just SCREAMS
just like me fr
truly
Rupaul SCREAMS 💜
katya was the first queen to ever change for the lip sinc! because of her latex outfit in AS2
I’m glad someone mentioned this!!!
I know most people didnt watch drag race Mexico but Gala Varo who was wearing a bald cap for her runway look, landed in the bottom and in the lipsync tore her bald cap to reveal a wig 😂
Matraka was all the rage in that season and rightfully so, but honestly Gala had some smart moves too! I liked her, I hope she's really in Global as the rumors say :)c
Wow! 😊
I am screaming
Surprised you didn’t mention how Willam’s shenanigans and rule breaking led to the doors getting sealed and around the clock people watching em
real 😭
isnt she also the reason why production treats the queens better than they used to?
I dont think thats entirely true. Theres wayyyy too much favouritism that goes on and shadyness which is juet bullshit. Like all stars 8 the production were showing blatant favouritism @andreyalol5931
@@J3nnyDBD trueeee
Valentina didn’t just revolutionize Drag Race, she revolutionized an entire global phenomenon of mask wearing!
then you might say, Rupaul revolutionized not wearing masks 💀
she wanted to protect everyone, including her abuela, her nana, bianca del rio.

Real, it’s wild that being trans excluded someone from competition to begin with but she definitely deserves the recognition
@@atlasssss6471but she wasn't the first nor was she the most vocal about it at the time.
The only thing she was on her seasons was annoying and a cunt😅
Absolutelyyyyyyyyyyyyy

@@AuraMilenariaZX thanks for letting me know also the first trans queen was Kylie Sonique Love I believe, when I tell you the moment I realised I’d fallen for a lie the embarrassment I have felt since
I cannot believe you forgot to mention Victoria Porkchop Parker, first queen to ever be eliminated. So many queens after her have since been eliminated thanks to her iconic run on the show!
this comment should have a million likes LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
you showed a clip but violet HAS to be mentioned for her fall runway reveal, i mean there's been a reveal category for multiple seasons now
i saw that outside drag race before i came out it's that iconic
@@ames_elaine I remember seeing three things from drag race before even knowing what drag race even was:
1. Violet Chachki Fall Runway Reveal
2. Laganja's iconic entrance
3. Alyssa Edwards "is she country enough?"
Agree tear away/reveal was a thing way before the show but aside from that… show wise… Roxxxy wig reveal opened the doors for all reveals
@davidkonevky7372 My three things were
1) Violet’s reveal as a Vine
2) “This is not RuPaul’s Best Friend Race”
3) A little bit of the LaGanga fight
That clip is actually what got me watching drag race
Lady Gaga was the first judge that wanted to chat backstage with the Queens. The producers said NO but they couldn’t stop her. Now, it’s like an expectation. Some of the best ideas on this show didn’t even come from the shows creative team. 😂
Morgan and Mystique revolutionized the importance of UNTUCKED
They are the REASON that if you're not watching untucked you're only getting half the story!!!
I would say that Naomi was the reason that all stars changed the format to group voting after pulling manilas lipstick
💄 Life's not fair 💄
Yeah she chopped a frontrunner who may have won the season. Naomi didn’t have a chance in hell of winning.
@@taintedlife2618life is not fairrrrrr
IM SORRY BUT "ugh Ru never" WAS HILARIOUS
the “can I get a gay man” in the roast was also so good
It’s my daily monologue now it’s so hilarious
But- uh, yeah
If I'm not mistaken, Shangela wrote a lipstick message in the mirror because she wanted to say goodbye to Sahara Davenport and other queens before going away, but production didn't allow.
that scene or Jinkx being congratulated by Roxxxy always kills me. Roxxxy was just there for a good time
And Alaska totally not having it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Marcia x3 changed the game by being our first bare faced queen.
Im sure in her attic, theres a portait of her in full makeup.
Please excuse my ignorance. Is that a Dorian Grey reference?
@@chrisz7494 it sure is
Your mind
Shangela already did that in season 2.
didn't trixie do that first?
Jujube being plastered for that black velvet lip sync worked so damn well
Roxxxy also revolutionized All Stars deliberations.
The 1st Episode of All Stars 2, Roxxxy & Tatianna were the Top 2, and went back to the werkroom to talk. While Tatianna had already made up her mind (not surprising considering they weren’t asked to discuss their choices), Roxxxy pulled Adore aside to ask how she’s feeling, etc. This discussion was filmed and the next episode immediately became mandatory as Katya & Alaska talked with the Bottom Queens of the week.
But it was Roxxxy & not the producers who came up with the idea of talking to the Bottom Queens for input as to who to choose.
Yes!!! I always think about iconic moments from queens who didn’t win their seasons and Roxxxy is a very underrated one. She had a huge impact on regular seasons & all stars
I would love to confirm that I’m a vixen bot & immediately voted for her the minute votes opened 🥴
Your campaign for one Vixillion votes has not gone unappreciated
And to be fair - she was one of the girls that did kinda deserve the title. She was said to help others on set and the actual interactions of her with other cast members we have seen were really nice. And she was also voted during queen's choice.
@jennifermolinary I honestly don't think there were "vixen bots" but people that was really mad with the way the vixen was portrayed on the show, she really said some truths, on how she was being shown as the "angry black guy" going after the "fragile white guy" Aquaria. I remember on the reunion Rupola got really mad at Asia when she tried to defend the vixen, I'm not saying the vixen was a poor victim, but she made some comments that were real and connected with people
Serena Chacha - the First Queen who reads books, the First Drag Scholar
Scholar of the first read
SASHA! She literally made every single queen after her worry more about a reveal than the actual lipsync delivery when it came to the finale. However, she was just trying to add to her own performance, which made her win the crown fair and square. Plus the fact that nobody saw it coming! But nowadays, every girl pulls up to the finale stage with a 6ft tall wig or in a huge ass box to conceal a reveal that's just for shock factor.
i know right, hers was iconic because of perfect timing and interpretation! the smart idea just added to it and made it stand out, but queens using the concept way too often miss the point :C
I also would like to mention queens like Raja who decided not to wear a chest plate. The beginning of the show queens were expected to wear a chest plate and also have a high pitched voice. Drag race has come so far. And also “let the best DRAG QUEEN win” vs “woman win” 🏆
Ru did sometimes say "let the best woman win" in the current season tho.
pretty sure we can thank gottmik for that one ❤
the scene of jinkx winning and alaska's "I'm so happy for you" while having a meltdown will never not crack me up 😂
I will never forget Season 7 Snatch Game with Kennedy as Little Richard and Ginger as Adele, truly iconic stuff.
The best snatch game so far (im currently starting season 12)
Ginger is a genius!
I would love for a queens entrance for her to just walk straight in and take a seat without saying a word
Shangela legiterally changed the game. I’ve watched from the beginning, but the lipstick message is such a big part of the show that my brain has manufactured memories of s1 queens reading lipstick mirror messages. It is such an integral part of the show that my brain is just refusing to acknowledge it was ever missing!
It's the Shandela Effect
when milk dressed up as the six flags guy for the rupaul outfits challenge I sat my white ass down and LISTENED
Willam change the way production handles the queen outside the competition
wait what did he do again i forgot
@@arjunaramph. Willam snuck their spouse into their hotel room, which became the official reason why she was disqualified.
@@grecomicEdited coz apparently the reason I was told Willam left was also inaccurate. But yeah not the husband thing.
Melinda Verga revolutionised drag race after winning Canada VS The Universe Season 16 because she did gravity defying moves, winning against Jujubee despite Juju having 691 wins and Melinda being in the BTM2 every episode. So sad Michelle had a heart attack that day :( 🕊️🕊️
It's ok bc Melinda had 701 challange wins (counting Mini challnages and stars and lipsync wins) ❤

@@Conifer_Confetti and blue contacts

Ripping off a wig to have the same wig under will always be my favorite, it’s just TOO god Damn funny
The lack of Derrick Barry in this video has disturbed me
Keep your kinks to yourself
Nobody was kill3d in this video?
What did she do tho
derrick needs her own video bc that roast rant is my everything
Hey Derrick~
I knew Roxxxy changed wig reveals completely, but i never knew it was because she was the first to have something underneath. That makes total sense in context now
Morgan McMichaels and Kylie Sonique Love and to a lesser extent Bebe and Ongina for creating such good close lipsyncs that double shantays were introduced.
love how season 16 immediately broke the 1 cocktail and no immunity changes lol
tbh the thing about forcing queens to talk about the difficult parts of their personal lives no matter how personal is FUCKED UP and i will never forgive production for making Blair talk about her SA just because she "dressed childish/innocent", Ru pulling a whole Freud thing to "get to the bottom of why Blair dresses like this" as a way to force her to talk about her literal R*pe was disgusting. I don't have a whole lot of strong RPDR opinions but this is one.
I think Jiggly Caliente was the first queen to do an exit line.
Deuces!😂
Violet chacki changing the game with her tartan reveal making 2 in one looks popularised
I would also add Bendela changed the game forever after eliminating hersef. Also Trixie and Katya elevated drag race to the mainstream. And Violet actually established a more polished fashion-oriented approach to the show
This. Very surprised this wasn’t mentioned. After Dela eliminated herself, rules changed regarding white nail polish and white out
I believe before Violet queens were heavily criticized for not using breastplates and after her it almost become the norm, up until recently it had a renaissance with Yara, Jessica, Jimbo and now Miss Meating, i don't like her very much but gotta give it to her for being a trendsetter
Drag Race was mainstream way before those two overrated hacks
@@PhoenixRoseYT agree and agreed!
@@user-mz2ne4yh2t Not so much breastplates as for not padding. There's a difference. Remember how tacky it seemed when India Ferrah kept wearing that big knockers breastplate and bragging that it cost her $600?
You missed Charlie Hides and Valentina changing the finale format because they didn’t know how to lipsync and Ru couldn’t live with the idea of a queen not knowing how to lipsync and then winning 🤣
Bianca won her season and didn't lipsync once
Not mentioning Willam is a crime! Loved the video, though.
Katya's latex look on AS2 introduced the idea of the winners changing outfits before the lip sync. In ep1, Tati and Roxxy wore their talent show outfits. On ep2, Katya changed out of her outfit and Alaska didn't. Now it's customary for queens to change into a dance costume when they lip sync for their legacies.
i still can’t get over #rupology
The jinx r2d2 edit 💀
I guffawed.
Ru's reaction to Scarlet's snatch game... like girl be calm it was not that funny
naomi saying "its about time a big girl won" ahhahaha
The LaGanja entrance always SLAPS.
The R2D2 moment was gold. I love LEGO Star Wars.
I'd say Carmen getting them to change the Rumail notification was pretty revolutionary, since it's something featured in every single episode.
Jinkx's scream being exactly like R2D2's death scream was fucking hilarious, brought me right back to my childhood playing that game with my mum ❤
You forgot the most important of them all: GIA GUNN OPENED THE DOORS FOR TRANS PARTICIPANTS TO COMPETE ON ACTUAL SEASONS OF DRAG RACE
The doors she's opened 😍💋💅✨
they should still do a fan vote but for fan favorite. like what big brother does
From what we've seen about Bebes and Trixies friendship in the recent Pit Stop, I could imagine that Bebe chose Kennedy; afterall she had seen Kennedys quick decision for Milk. Plus, I think she might have thought more of within the show and not really about the wrath of the fans.
either way it's gaggy, the doors she opened 😔
I mean, its pretty clear that Bebe legit barely watches any more so maybe she doesn’t even KNOW about fan wrath lmao
@@agwarddd "who's ornacia, i don't know who that is?"
Yeah, I just don't get the reasoning that Bebe was afraid of Trixie stans. Like if she felt comfortable possibly eliminating her, why wouldn't she also feel comfortable with revealing the lip stick. She would have gotten way more shit for actually eliminating her if she won. (Little conspiracy theory, but maybe Bebe knew she wasn't going to win so she picked a lipstick at random and that's why she didn't reveal it.)
@@agwarddd Exactly
I think the real queen who revolutionalized RPDR was Sharon Needles. I knew she's not the queen you want to talk to today but you cant deny that Sharon opened so many doors to drag queens who didn't follow a beauty standard of drag at that time.
Ornacia was the first and only queen to get a piggy back ride from a celebrity guest judge on screen.
I’ve got two suggestions:
I think Tatianna in AS2 paved the way, then Aja in AS3 led to the explosion in performing original songs in the talent show (or even continuing the talent show challenge at all, since it was new at the time). Those acts not only go viral, songs also make BIG streaming money that the show can swoop in and take. It’s to the point where Sugar/Spice said somewhere that on their packing list production outright encourages queens to prepare a track for the talent show.
It’s too early to say if this will be a “trend”, but I felt something shift when Kitten and Nearah both did Jennifer Coolidge in the Snatch Game. Many queens have brought identical characters before and they basically play chicken until someone caves, but both of them refusing to back down and production allowing two identical characters was a first and I wonder whether it could keep happening.
waaaiitttt ive never seen that Jinkx and Roxxxy winner reaction thats so cuuuute
why don’t they just air the finale live like an award show
they stopped doing that after s3 because raja’s win got leaked
@@dumbass862 That wasn't a live award show and more just an additional episode. If it was live there couldn't be any leaks
As a Vixen bot, it feels correct to be given some well-deserved recognition. 😌
fuck that perez guy takes all the fun out of a finale
The title should had been " the 10 queens that opened doors on drag race"
Now I could be wrong, but did Roxxxy Andrews’ wig reveal just accidentally end up being iconic? Some queens especially back then stacked their wigs for more volume. Roxxxy knew the song was called “Whip My Hair” and if she whipped it the top one would go flying so she just took it off with style and Ru was gagged so hard she just went along with it. Maybe I’m wrong but it wouldn’t be the first or last time Roxxxy did something accidentally iconic.
Wait, cuz that actually would make a lot of sense and I never thought of it that way, changing history by accident purrr 😍
@@gay_king22 she’s really the queen of it our accidental icon ♥️
It totally does just look like one track of wig being peeled off the more you look at it
Thank you for bringing these up. Babies forget how the show has changed. It's because of our legendary queens of seasons past 🙌
“Hi @Runnereye, I played you on #DragRace during #SnatchGame.I want to RuPaulogize for not serving #RunnerEyeRealness. PS I'm a huge fan!”
Ring a bell?
Really surprised to not see Willam on here... She famously was a massive rule breaker and as a result the queen's are on much stricter hotel lockdowns!
The Queens have had more than one cocktail plenty of times since JuJubee. If you watch Roscoe's view parties, you would know that. The guests often talk about getting drunk - extra cocktails, hiding bottles, smoking weed & doing edibles while filming. On All Stars, Raja drank wine all day. Provided by production.
maybe now but in between season 3 and 2017, the queens were limited. This was verified by Raven who worked for WoW by that point. That DragCon clip in the video where Raven talked about it was in 2017 which is why i said 2017
Jujubee going around to take everyone's drink is peak filipino behavior I love it so much
You forgot to mention Joey Jay being the first gay contestant in the show which still is revolutionary
Carmen Carerra got the "you got she-mail" removed. Game changing queen.
How?
Naomi’s winning line 😭😭 I love her
I'm surprised Willam wasn't mentioned. There are so many rules that were either changed or made due to all the craziness that Willam caused on their season. They started taping doors, no "relationships" 😂 between staff and contestants, and many more. Hell, she's the only queen to be disqualified (i think) due to acting a fool. 😂
Manila Luzon being the reason the queens don’t get cameras to record their hotel experience is also iconic
Wait what happened
They were supposed to record their behind the scene experience but Manila took her camera home and posted it all on her TH-cam. I’m not sure if it’s still up. I also think she took a sewing machine but that could be me mis-remembering.
You forgot to mention Katya from season 7 who single-handedly elevated the game by being the first hunty diva to werq it fiercely ont the show 💅🏻
Ohh there ain't no other way 💋💅❤✨
TH-camrs who REVOLUTIONIZED Drag TH-cam
RunnerEye💯💯
How would they have created the "what would u say to your younger self" segment for pearl when it would have been extremely hard for this show to get pictures from the queens considering some of them dont have relatives that have acces to their kid pictures
4:27 lmaooo immunity functions how it’s supposed to and they decide to take it away. That’s when you know it’s just a gag and nothing else.
You’re editing is some of the best I’ve ever seen. I died laughing when I saw the Lego Star Wars R2-D2 scream replace jynx’s scream 😂
looking back after so many years, LaGanja's entry really does remain one of the or maybe even the most iconic entry EVER.... oh y'all wanted a twist? 👄
Didn’t juju actually enter before Pandora, and say “oh, what a sin?” I swear so many people misremembered it being pandora
I was about to say it!! She's so (truly, not the gay compliment way) iconic
i think juju's was more a personal catchphrase while pandora's was just a quote, if that makes sense
@@Chris-ot9bk i get what you mean, but tbh juju’s should still be seen as an entrance line (something more than a hello at her entrance)
I love watching your videos! They always entertain me 💕
That was fun, I enjoyed your video, thanks 😊
Hilarious video 😂. The editing is perfection.
amazing video. luved this
So the alcohol rule hasn't been a thing since they switched from cocktails to the house of love canned alcohol. A lot of times in untucked you'll see queens opening more than one can and just in season 16 One of the queen's literally said I'm going to have another drink.
love this video! you are so funny and engaging to watch! :)
In my opinion gia gunn revolutionized opening doors
first time seeing your video. i really liked it after a stressfull day at work. thank u
It is a glowing tribute to you that I knew all this and really enjoyed the video anyway 😘
this is such a fun video
I love your stuff. This video made me laugh multiple times 💀😭
i think joey jay deserves a mention for being the first openly gay contestant!
Tammie Brown - First to check the show's host.
Love the first ever gay queen Miss Joey Jay 🏳️🌈
I love all of your videos, are really dinamic and funny 🫶
Imagine a queen trolling and writing CONGRATULATIONS RAJA lol!
This was excellent, mawma
The split second Lego star wars clip SENT ME. Teleported me all the way to Mars. 😂
