I loved that Rhett and Link are the only ones that don't annoy me when advertising something :D
right. for real
congrats.
+Ryu - Emil W. They got other things to get money from, like the store with shirts, posters and all, so they don't need TH-cam commercials on their videos.
+Ryu - Emil W. they do it professionaly and are open about it, which i think helps.
+Chase Wine miller I find jack so annoying when he takes a half yiai episode to advertise something...AND DON'T FORGET GAME GRUMPS ADS
His ghost is now trapped down in Sewage pipes under an apartment building in Philadelphia. Thanks to Sam and Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle.
+Sarah Best Thank you so much I thought this story sounded familiar. :D
Dude where's my pie
What episode?
Laura Lake No Exit, Season 2 Episode 6
Aw I live in Philly😭😭
for next Halloween, I think it'd be highly entertaining to watch these two walk through a legitimately scary haunted house
Same here. That would be pretty cool..... I wonder if they could do that. I would enjoy it! But that's just my opinion. Have a great day!
Leslie Maclang im from the future and it never happened
Still nope
maybe this year?
@@rokukou nope, to bad... Maybe next year
Not mentioned, but something I find relevant:
H.H. Holmes was considered very handsome, and would lure those women in with his charm. He would look for women who were travelling, so that they wouldn't be missed as easily.
(I did a project on him for my high school forensics class).
He was also great with kids. His second wife said that when they'd go out he could quiet a mother's crying baby fairly quickly.
In all seriousness, I wish I'd gone to highschool more recently. I didn't get any cool courses like forensics!
I heard that he wasn’t handsome but he was just charming 🤷♀️
Rhiana L.
also, albert einstien was at the fair.
I wish my school had a forensics class. They used to but do parents “Karens” reported the class.
We studied on The Devil in the White City in high school and I remember us discussing a part of the book that described how Holmes would lock the girls in his torture boxes and rooms and then a few minutes into them suffocating, he'd open the door and smile at them and and then slam it shut...just to give them a false sense of hope that they might be saved, but then immediately crushing it. SO. CREEPY. That book gave me nightmares like nobody's business.
Yes we just read this in my college history class 😃
Laurelizab I read the book but it was only because I thought the title was cool.
A really good well written book.
Anything that has something to do with murderers strangely intrigues me. Please tell me I'm not the only one, I don't want to seem like a complete freak lol
me too XD
Yeah like murder mystery things. You're not the only one.
***** Yep, he's a smashing guy
i like murder mysteries...

I sometimes wonder what I'm doing with my life. Here I am, on a TH-cam channel, watching two guys talk about serial killers, eating pizza in my bed wrapped up in covers.
I know what I'm doing with my life. I'm relaxing. Like I don't deserve.

👏👏👏 true poetry 👏👏👏

+Zepy thanks, i didn't realize
Link or hax
wait what
+Zepy I just saw you on pewdiepie channel! :DDD u said the same thing XD
Who would kill Cereal? Not only is that a waste, but it's rude because Link could've eaten that Cereal. Don't let Link miss out on his Cereal. Stop the Cereal killers.
Nice pun
Was that a joke cuz I didn't laugh
Agreed
too bad my cereal is gone hue hue hue hue
Rudy Ceja I'm sorry, I wasn't trying ceREAL hard.
Scariest Episode of Supernatural has HH Holmes as the ghost. No Exit.....can't watch that one without watching another one after it. Thank you Sam and Dean Winchester for trapping him in Concrete.
Season 2 episode 6 btw
I just took off my pants so you couldn't scare them off.
Lol😂😂
Haha, but they're still off.
tmi
Tell more information
Smart😐
i'm so proud, you guys have 15,000 more subscribers than you did this morning.
+STITCHTHENOAHATZI He wasn't even insulting them, genius.
13 million (plus a few thousand) now. 2018 yay
@@krissykohlrieser470318.6 million: March 2024. Yay!
I find links personality attractive
Same! :)
+Lexis Sez who doesn't? :D
I find Rhett the funniest lol
Yas
+Lexis Sez when rhett said oh baby lol
Imagine if Rhett and Link traded seats
dont
.
AHHHH!!!!!!!! THAT WOULD BE THE SCARIEST THING EVER!!😱😱😱😵😵😵
It would change the world
+Kawaiipotatos They should do that around Halloween to scare people.
I could not stop thinking of that Supernatural episode during this vid
This Mr. Holmes was also one of many suspected of being Jack the Ripper.
They did a hand writing analysis and found out that they had the exact same handwriting determined by handwriting experts
SHERLOCK
+DobbyJunior He's like bottom of the list though! They have pretty well documented evidence of his life, and from what I've read he couldn't have been in England at the time.
+Ashley Hamilton They also figured out that he was in London during the times of Jack the Ripper and went off the grid there.
+DobbyJunior THAT'S THE THEORY!!!
You don't need to worry about his ghost coming back, Sam and Dean took care of that.
ikr
Yes they did
legit the best show
Actually, in AHS: Hotel, I believe it's Evan Peters' character who's loosely based on H.H. Holmes, not Gaga. And the Murder Castle isn't the only inspiration for the show. Most of it comes from a real-life hotel in California, the Cecil.
yea. I think this season is based of this.
that's exactly what I was thinking, the episode last night with jeffrey Dahmer made me incredibly happy because lily Rabe and evan peters killing people makes for a great season.
I second I heard it I knew it
eedsdddfffx
I think Mr March is based off of him since he is the one who made the hotel and not Gaga
Mr. March from AHS is based on H.H Holmes
And still not win an Oscar :D
+Thomas Kerschbaumer no he would have already won one for the revenant!
+Hannah Love hey Hannah my sisters name is Hannah to!
+Misty Rose i kne it thats what i guessed
+Shonna Springer cool
Love the halloween themed GMM episodes SO MUUUUUCH 😍😍😍
I love these types of GMM episodes. Learning about something crazy is so cool.
I think if I got interrogated by Rhett and Link id be more confused than anything o.o
I would be fangirling.
9:17 *COYOTE URINE??!!!*
Thanks youresoloud 😂
Wait a second
I was just watching that channel a few minutes ago
Will it Pie?

+L.e. Kevin will it die

I guess you could say the guy was "making a killing"
...wow😐
*slow claps*

+MrZY97 Its suposed to look like this picture i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/zp04hmllvlgf8zso9ibt.jpg which is Patrick Bateman in American Psycho
It was like Link was imitating Dexter.
#AmericanHorrorStoryHotel
I'm crying this is great😂
+Megan Jones Mr March is directly based on H.H Holmes :)
+Megan Jones Lol, I was so excited when I saw Mr March because we'd studied H.H. Holmes in forensic science class at high school and I always found him interesting :D
Lady Gaga
can you do the eat it and were it challange
Perfect thing to watch after finishing American Horror Story season 5 lol.
I love how Link is about to die of stink and planking and still is able to say jinx.
close your eyes from 9:38 to 9:51
LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD!!
+GrardWayisbetterthanyou Sorry LOL x'D
+GrardWayisbetterthanyou Sorry i imagined rhett and link sword fighting.
lol
+GrardWayisbetterthanyou Sorry anyone else think it sounds like link is having a baby
I imagined that rhett ate a whole bottle of glue and he was trying to poop :|
+GrardWayisbetterthanyou Sorry omg I just died rofl I read this before watching so I closed my eyes immediatly at 9:38 omg hahahahahahahaa
People are commenting so fast that they will never read my confession: I still watch Bob the builder and I'm 25.
+Reillior your real confession should be, "I think I'm funny but I'm not"
+Reillior I am 25 as well and I still watch Pingu....
we're seeing it.
Id watch it anymore
im 85 and i play pokemon!
This video was secretly sponsored by Satan, not Air-Heads.
Or is Air-Heads secretly Satan?
Illuminati confirmed.
**oof**
Devil in the White City is such a great book! One of the best nonfiction books I've read. I highly recommend it
+Anna Knight Also scary as all get out. I had so many nightmares in high school after reading it lol
Who else loves AHS: Hotel ??
Yeasss
ME
LADY GAGA IS AWESOME ON IT!!!!!!
Me!!
:P
OMG IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! ILY GMM!!
Happy Birthday, from an unknown person of the Internet to another 🎂
Happy birfdy c: how old are you now
+Stephanie Theiss HAPPY FLIPPIN' BIRTDAY
Happy birthday :)
MERRY THANKSGIVING
I can see link being a cerial killer but being funny while doing it.....
How can u be funny while killing people
+Alex Jennings you must not watch horror films. did you know that American psycho is under the comedy section of Netflix
Dumbass
+Kittykatchayoo4 Just making random jokes & puns before he kills them, in a funny voice xD
+DesiLovesSouthPark I can see him doing that yes. finally person with a sense of humor
8:04 - 9:19 close your eyes, while listening to this part.
The hand from yesterday is now part of the background by the guitar.
Umm Links belly touched the floor...
I think it's just his shirt
+Lucian the fox I don't think so , but he definitely did it wrong. He arched his back .
P.S
I did this with my boyfriend last week -
and I WON ! ;D
+Phangirling for CentUries nice profile pic
+Lucian the fox yup he kinda cheated
This bothers me so much. I don't think he was touching but his back was arched which released the tension in his core and putting all the weight on his elbows... So He might as well have just touched. Rhett did it properly the whole time! I'm surprised he didn't call link out on it!
3:27 I love how he said exactly what we were all thinking
Why was there a market for human organs in the 1890's?
MrMartGonzo there still is it’s called the dark web (I watch documentaries about it I did not go on it)
This il totally James March from American Horror Story!!
That's who Mr March is based off
Sherlock Watson-Holmes I guess so!
I THOUGHT THIS STORY SOUNDED LIKE AHS HOTEL AND WHEN RHETT SAID IT WAS AT THE END I WAS LIKE I KNEW IT
+Heather me to exactly
Came back here after watching the Lying Detective (Sherlock) and this weeks Timeless episode (The World's Columbian Exposition). Horrifying, yet disturbingly interesting stuff.
Rachel Tayman yup haha
Rachel Tayman III
we studied and examined H.H.Holmes' life at the beginning of this school year and its kind of fun watching this video and remembering that class and being able to pick up on the details that they left out in this episode
*Looks at title*
*looks at thumbnail*
*looks at title again*
"I knew Link was a murderer"
Very interesting haha. Love the Halloween set!
I FOUND YOU!
+Matt DWMC Matt I love you and you could eat that gone off fish tbh :p
I saw the cultmoo collab
You guys should do a collab!
HH Holmes was a terrifying genius. Can't wait for the Scorses/ DiCaprio 'Devil in the White City.'
love your vids
early once again, reply if you just love this Halloween week!!!
Poop.
My teacher tells a bunch of really scary stories and shows really scary videos on the week of Halloween.
+DcgTv This is a reply.
+DcgTv Halloweek*
+DcgTv I know freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Candy
When he mentioned H. H. Holmes, I was like cool, since I heard the last name of the famous detective. The story sounded so familiar. But then he mentioned the year, and I immediately recognize- THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY! A non-fiction book literally about H.H. Holmes and this other dude.... Wow, cool, I can't believe I remembered a book I read like in seventh grade. Thanks Rhett and Link, I'm actually going to read it again, I remember thinking it was interesting.
I was drawing Jeff the killer while watching this! XD
Before they said anything about AHS, I was like "This sounds like Evan Peter's character in AHS Hotel, James Patrick March."
I was at that fair! !! buy my syrup
Happy Halloween Rhett and Link! Be safe while trick or treating with your kids! 😄
I like how Link was pointing to his nose with his middle fingers and then he noticed and nonchalantly tried to change it
Don't you just love how Rhett does hand gestures while talking! :)
"Scare your pants off..." Hah! I'm not wearing any pants!
H.H. Holmes. Supernatural :D?
yassssssssss 😂😂😂😂😈😈😈😈
Always loved the intro
I love how Rhett moved on from the word syrup and as Rhett was explaining something Link just said "its your wife isnt" 😂😂
The Servant Girl Annihilator (heck of a name huh?) preceded H.H. Holmes by about 10 years. Eight dead and another 8 serious injured in Austin Texas in 1884-85 and he was never caught.
Rhett says sur-up, his friend says seh-rup, but they're both crazy. It's see-rup.
Yeah
+BTMI mexiclamationpoint No, it's sur-up
+Ben Jaenke nope. see-rup.
+Ian Larson Says the 5 year old.
+Ben Jaenke yup.
one of my favorite episodes
rewatching this because today I got assigned a research paper on serial killer and figured this was perfect.
Nice video
any over brits scared of there "british" voice's because hell i am
Yes ! omg
I'm American and I'm scared lol
I imagine you are but have you ever heard Amazingphils American accent
+Hailey-loves-phan hello fellow phandom meber
+tøp p!atd fob rhett link dan and phil ^member*
This was the first GMM I ever saw. Now I have seen all the ones that have come before it.
Even though this guy was sick, he's actually pretty genius if you think about it.
I had a roommate who had changed his name 3-4 times than skipped out on paying rent/bills. He later killed a guy in Mexico. Be careful who you trust!
Thank you. Very much.
American Horror Story: Rhett and Link
This was very educational
Teachers take notes
So cool i love to watch
Sponsored by satin👍😈
So much better than silk.
Cate Magrogan repent the evil my son!! lol 😂😂
lol TROLLED And the silk
I do love my satin.. best fabric
"Lady Gaga is this guy"
No Rhett that would be Miley Cyrus....
There is so much you guys should have mentioned, and I encourage everyone to go catch the documentary on Netflix. His hotel was amazing.
I LOVE things like this
He said "Boom Shakalaka". BigBang is everywhere!
Woot woot YG family represent!
I wish every time someone says "Boom Shakalaka," A mini T.O.P pops out.
+Melisa Vela I was desperately searching for a comment saying something about that because all I could think of was WOW FANTASTIC BABY
Hahahahaa yeah, I know xD
DANCE. WOOOOOO I WANNA DANCE DANCE DADADADANCE
what if you weren't wearing pants
We are all wearing pants cause we have underwear
Chara Dreamurr not to be like gross but I am not were ing pants lolololol 😂😂😂😂😂😂 just laying you know
Underwear*
I got the strangest chills when rhett started quoting him at 6:50
I love how Rhett looks more sportive but Link always wins sport competitions. wtg Link :D
I can't be the only one who thinks the serial killer looks like Ian from smosh ?
I thought I was the only one
.
Something's fishy here
***** What's fishy ?
only indian's have come up with this analogy
Life is the ultimate murderer...
Life doesn't kill people. People kill people.
Shouldn't it be "Death is the ultimate murderer?"
I thought that comment said life is the illuminati mayonnaise
195fireball You're welcome :)
+C.MeaX Dang. That's deep
i love u guys i love ur videos
I love this stuff so much XD

Sam and Dean trapped his ghost in an abandoned sewer....
ellie Really? If this is true I've never seen that episode.
OMG this was posted on my B-DAY!
Happy Halloween!!
Observation 1: Link needs to recall poetry. They used to sing in ancient times.
I'm related to H. H. Holems 😖
SERIOUSLY?!?!?!!
+kawaii unicorns 😊 yeah I have a picture of him and I was told stories of him
+Savannah Gallagher (Savannahkat13) wow
Well...that's desturbing...
Why? No one can help who the ancestors are
Music is sometimes a form of poetry. I started writing poetry and poets do sing.
I remember learning about this murder case in my forensics class a few years ago!
