everyone wear black but dont tell toast

[@cmloreo3010]

Knowing Toast, he was probably told to wear black but decided not to :D

[@albionshero31]

He probably told everyone else to wear black and wore white to make them look like the assholes

[@itsnotjason]

@@cmloreo3010 he probably told them to wear black 😂

I imagine John appeared with the white one first just to put the black one over lol

i love how every single one of them had a huge glowup, in appearance, personality, and character.

holy fuck he is HAHAHA

[@bakicci]

i did now LOL

[@TanisHalfE1ven]

I don't know how the heck you caught that. I had to play it back 40+ times and then slow it down and watch for the mouth flaps before I could belive you. Even then I can only confirm that the second word was channel. 😂

[@mvn_dn]

LMAO

[@mvn_dn]

The way he didnt say it out loud and glanced at the producer 😂

[@Jabogers]

Man, you can tell Sydney's modeling experience during 4:23. The others take some time to switch up their poses or are just straight up awkward, but Sydney just smoothly transitions from pose to pose with ease.

Disguised Toast , Among Us were actually my gates to watching every streamer that I watch now inside OTV and Friends group. I am happy for their success and I hope more content videos in future.

can we talk about how lily just glows in this video??? she seems so confident with her appearance and humor!!

Lmao yonnie our toast regulator

[@supersaiyan-goku-san]

Toast is just very articulate and precise in conveying his thoughts.

[@hiroprotagonitis]

Kekw he fell for it

[@otoshithekid2957]

You know, the Don is the founder. But now that Poki left, it definitely feels like Toast is the OTV frontman.

"I don't respect your opinion enough" - Toast

[@lila9349]

Me writing it down for later use

[@joaquinortega6623]

This is what defines a successful content creator group

[@CharacterMedia]

agreed! they've come a long way

[@kiidkif2009]

Fr fr

[@mkauahi]

I heard most of you mention making content that is funny, but I enjoy the content of each of you as you interact with each other, the things you do and games that you play; and when you are authentic (and yes that does include when you are authentically funny...a lot).

[@emmily6110]

yeah thats the major thing I think a lot of us appreciate too! like not to compare but 100 theive's content group, barely anyone collaborates outside of their videos and things. Leslie and Rae never react to their org's videos yet binge all otv clips and vids. Theyre more otv and friends than 100t and I beleive its because theyre all close friends rather than just buisness and work partners. Content groups become obsolete when they dont put effort in advertising their group sepereately or being genuine friends while working together as well.

[@bhumikachand904]

These guys were one of the few reasons that kept me alive during lockdown, will forever support and cheer for them 🎉❤

[@arashianfromargentina7996]

Toast: "We're FAMILY!" Also Toast: "I don't respect your opinion" 😂 Thank u for the video! 💖

[@latbil]

Sounds like my family 😅😂😢

[@Haru_Misu]

Sounds about right…

[@mvn_dn]

It’s funny how 3 years go i didn’t know any of them until AOC played Among Us which led me to watching toast’s videos and now I know everyone here and follow their lives closely

[@JunInOct]

Scarra dressed so clean man, gotta love the man

[@nimxxx3914]

vote scarra for president he's so cute :))

[@re1ive456]

Based on the outfits and hair, this was likely filmed the same day as that clip of them doing that runway walk.

[@lzyizyy6020]

The toast and lily banter lmao

[@wayn_lol]

Toast looks like the leader of the group when you see that everyone else wears black

[@KumaJmr]

My offlineTV journey started when i discovered Poki and Scarra because of LOL but when Toast joined, he became my fav and because of his streams, vod got to know more awesome streamers!!!

[@Disgruntled1986]

Seeing them all grouped up like this and nobody burst out laughing everytime one of them start talking feels unnatural to me.

[@emmily6110]

lily and toast made them luagh a few times :)

[@jacobl9231]

Thanks scarra for being awesome. Of course everyone at OTV too. I’ve seen you since early LoL, always entertaining seeing you in whatever adventure you get involved in, always brings a laugh 😂

When I was originally exposed to OTV I wrote them off as some cringy YT kids flashing money. Michael’s videos roped me in deeper and I started getting to know them all. Now I KNOW they’re all cringy YT kids but I’m here for it haha 😂

[@stevenmcqueen7433]

its funny that ive been watching the OTV channel since like 2016-7 but only started watching their individual content much more recently

When you come to the realization Poki had already mentally left OTV when she left the house.

[@charlieextra9406]

I honestly have no idea how I started watching Otv. I mean its been around 5-6 years 🤔. It was probably not an individual but their OTV channel here on YT, which was fun. I wonder whay they were playing then 😅

Sad no Poki here. The cake on the icing.

[@symphonixblades]

she is now in the Friends part of OTV, she's not part of OTV anymore. Although she will still be around, shoot some videos with them but she won't have all that busy schedule that OTV usually is about. She probably still even owns some part of OTV but she's not a member anymore

[@hptoo5869]

Bruh this video taken long time ago. XD, unfortunately poki wasn't here when this filmed

kinda sad how this is one of the first otv "content" out there that poki is not a part of

[@Picassostrash]

No this was filmed when poki was still in the group, she just couldn’t make this shoot

[@stuntmonkey00]

FFS, this was filmed ages ago. Lily has her red hair from when she just dyed it after switching to KZbin. Poki had commitments at Twitchon europe when they were in Japan and was sick with sinus issues after.

[@kculture403]

this video was taken months ago when poki was still in otv, i believe. maybe around the time they did the the horror games shoots, because that’s when sydney had that kind of hair in! :) her, and lily.

@@kculture403 pretty sure it’s on the same day as the horror shoot based on Toast’s story in patreon. They had this shoot in the day, changed clothes and went to the horror shoot at night.
