[@KTGetc]

The thing about playing with Rhett and Link is that they have two significant advantages: First, they know each other incredibly well, and second, they have no shame.

[@agneseditsstuff]

lol yes

[@adamheeley285]

Also they are super annoying and overrated.

[@KTGetc]

adam heeley You're entitled to your opinion, but you can't deny their gift for giving youtube what it wants.

[@adamheeley285]

KTGetc eating random stuff? thank you for your profound gifts.

[@KTGetc]

adam heeley No one said profound. But they wouldn't be doing it if there wasn't an audience for it. It might not be high art, but those guys are smart as hell when it comes to giving people what they want.

[@p0ltergeists]

Rhett and Link and so in sync at this point there's just no beating them. They are ONE.

[@TheEric1203]

You also noticed that they kept correctly guessing each other's phrases? The power of friendship.

[@defranwren5153]

TheEric1203 or cheating

[@TheEric1203]

charlie otero nawwwww

[@lin4cba]

James Lynn And If you watch GMM long enough, you will also know Link is going to go for 3 points for not losing too. LMAO

[@TheEric1203]

J. foxdie na

[@awakeandalive60]

I love how at 12:00 Link just sits back and lets the magic in Rhett's brain happen. He knows he's gonna get it!

[@littleredhairedgirlsteph3922]

My favorite part!

[@dont_take_it_personal]

Link's "give it to me" fingers sent me 😆

[@M-.-M]

lol, when Rhet was like "We do know you're holding the team back." i was like lmfao

[@tvrizzle1]

When Rhett and Link do their taste tests, and their challenges and stuff, I'm never sure if parts of it are scripted. Watching this, I realize how smart they are. Seriously, they're witty as hell!

[@caedynburns460]

I would love to see Rhett and link play board games more often

[@RetroSoulGirl]

At 10:52 When Rhett asks, "Is it a condom?" Link puts on his best "WTF?" face LOL

[@holliegreene2349]

+Mr.Sickboy hah hah

[@mangodanish615]

It's because Rhett and Link have a telepathy thing going for like 25 years.

[@Anothercubanguy]

my two favorite shows together! Rhett and Link + Table top! :D

[@silverturtle0213]

Anothercubanguy my heart skipped a beat when I saw Link's face next to the Table Top logo.

[@freasefraim]

silverturtle0213 Mine too ! O_O I am so excited to watch this !

[@farflebfarfle]

Anothercubanguy Yes to this. When KZbin worlds collide, wonderful things happen.

[@shotarujin3777]

Anothercubanguy yes its awesome.

[@Account28001]

Anothercubanguy Yup, two of the four channels I watch on a regular basis together.... you toss Burnie Burns on here next and Michael Stevens after that, and it would be set.

[@DFTBACleaves]

Everybody looks so short at the end because Rhett is just massively tall.

[@ana-jz1ut]

Rhett and link are so good at this because they have known each other for like 30 years.

[@KnightsBroadwayFever]

My new ringtone: "I whip my hair back and fourth, I whip my hair back and fourth" - Rhett

[@KnightsBroadwayFever]

Scratch that. "I don't hear negativity" - Link

[@ashleymillar3641]

theres actually a song kind of like that here in the philippines and its for a shammpoo or conditioner comercial i think lol

[@strife10301]

Scratch that. "Tanning beds make white people brown" -Link

[@holliegreene2349]

+Maddie Baillio I'm currently imagining that going off in the middle of class instead of my current ringtone

[@StudioInkblot]

+ashley millar Which one?

[@kanped]

I think this would work really well as a 'traitor' game where one person is randomly designated to make the team lose, so they have to try to lead people down the wrong path when guessing and non-obviously (so as not to be found out) give bad clues.

[@lanisnts]

I never heard of this show, I'm here for Rhett and Link. But it's good!

[@archiecook55]

Lany O.o Same lol

[@Galiant2010]

Lany O.o Welcome to the nerdier side of KZbin! lol Table Top has so many great episodes. Especially if you watch any geeky/nerdy shows since Table Top has so many guest appearances from many of those things. I also watch GMM on a fairly regular basis when I need a break from this side of things, but still want something fun and often wacky lol.

[@joaocamilo8106]

Lany O.o I never heard of Rhett and Link. But since they have a lot of fans, apparently, I believe I must check them out...

[@archiecook55]

João Camilo They're very funny, my favorite videos of theirs are the Caption fails on their "Rhett & Link" channel and the food challenges on Good Mythical Morning

[@lanisnts]

João Camilo you do that, you won't regret it.

[@Lina-xx7qu]

"You know what the squiggle means." Link Neal 2015.

[@waywardmuggle]

Rhett and Link have some sort of psychic connection - they always seem to know what the other one is going for :)

[@viktorkardell9366]

Poor Owlbear...

[@amandadube156]

***** oh, THAT'S what that thing was.... :)

[@AustralianGrizzly]

Amanda Lee Dube How do you not know what an Owlbear is??? He has been appearing since the "Lord of Waterdeep" game...

[@viktorkardell9366]

AUS Grizzly More to the point, since D&D 1.0!

[@Parrow]

I wanna hug the owl bear

[@FuckingGolems]

***** I thought it was a gowlrilla

[@williamhoo9603]

"I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH." -Rhett McLaughlin 2015

[@IzzyIkigai]

more like willow smith 2010..

[@erinnlynn7]

While Rhett and Link are on their GMM hiatus I'm going back and watching all their old collabs.

[@MsQueengorgo]

Please have Rhett & Link on again. Loved this group.

[@DamonFyrian]

I've never had to suffer through a game of charades, and for that, I thank the Lord of the Games, sitting upon his throne made of Jenga blocks. And when he put the thing on lightning, I immediately thought "Thunderstruck?"

[@skyrimsniper]

Azarathian Mage You're not alone.

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

Azarathian Mage Boardacles, Lord of Games, granter of victory points. Let our routes be not cut off, and our ore be not robbed. Lead us not into decline, but deliver us from the four conveniently color-coded diseases. Bless us to go up a level, as we play more games. Amen.

[@DamonFyrian]

William Bowles Amen.

[@DarwinAwardWinner]

Azarathian Mage My first thought was Thunder Cats.

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

***** That's good, because that is always the right answer.

[@Tylerrauth]

Rhett and Link?! On Tabletop?!? YES PLEASE.

[@SalemElectro7]

Lol "it's like throwing the ball thing from the far place". This was awesome, I love all these guys. Love tabletop and was so excited to see Rhett and link on it. I gotta try this game.

[@narumiraito7377]

Link was my favorite from this episode because we both have the same personalities.

[@lone6718]

I love Rhett And Link. And this episode is so much fun.

[@horrifyinglyhungry9411]

At 27:00 I screamed, "AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER!!" But sadly it wasn't correct.

[@jermarama2228]

Lol im the same XD

[@latorquemada]

Same

[@holliegreene2349]

+GravityFox I said avatar!

[@Darkknight38]

+GravityFox I thought it was that too xD

[@kipis8325]

SAME

[@thiskidmatt9974]

" Ha.. You know what the squiggle means.. Hahah "- Link

[@angelanf7755]

Matthew Reed when does he say it?

[@nobleatlas651]

9:05 “I know about sports... SPORTS!” I love that line 😂

[@happyhoney2000]

YES all of the rhett and link !!!!!!

[@thekrimsonkiller]

L!! I love you!! 😭😭😭😭

[@UserDude]

***** shhhh...

[@MorphiusXMinecraft]

Not a game id play but was cool to see Rhett & Link on TableTop

[@therealrunesead]

MorphiusX My thoughts exactly. I have yet to find a Charades-like game I would like to revisit after I played it and this looks no different. I admit it makes the concept (rim shot) more appealing, but not enough for me to play it.

[@ricksleurink5064]

MorphiusX Just try it.. The fact that you have so many choices on the board and you can only say yes, is amazing! I bought it and it is a hit with almost everyone I play with. The way Will played up to 36 points is a neat way to play. It adds a bit tension. When will the Shame-O-Meter expansion be out? :P

[@COLT_Chris]

I knew it was Enjoy the Silence. Love that song. It's my fav from Depeche Mode!

[@NoNumbersAfterName]

ChrCOLTChr Eh, I'm a Strangelove guy.

[@COLT_Chris]

John Baker Good one also! Wrong is also a good song. But none move me like Enjoy the Silence.

[@teeds88]

that was kind of embarrassing that _none_ of them knew that. that song is classic.

[@Wolfie1262]

Me too! Though my personal fav is Walking in My Shoes. But Enjoy the Silence is right up there

[@sh1zuro]

Finding this after listening to them talk about board games on earbiscuits is gold. Their communication is on point.

[@roteredamus]

Lightening tomato would be Link's arch enemy!

[@hvilluminati]

Is it weird that I felt bad for Owl-bear?

[@KTGetc]

ME TOO

[@lukewal99]

no i do too

[@incomingbear1334]

Every time I do.

[@louisabell1454]

Love how Link says 'Yes its my real name', when it isn't his real name!

[@redfreckle2044]

Lots of people go by their middle names.

[@savannahojeda6086]

Flying monkey squirrel- his name is Charles Lincoln Neal and he goes by Link because it's pretty much short for Lincoln.

[@zaryabaliahmed4147]

An abreviation of someone's name is still their real name...

[@billythekid1532]

Wow hilarious. Not.

[@7bladesky890]

S. Hillier as an eastern European it was always interesting for me, because we don’t have middle names. I just don’t understand the system

[@mml4220]

19:54 "We do know that you're holding us back." Best part for me.

[@discipleprojectoutreach]

Sorry guys, I love The 5th Element.

[@lutair0]

Paul Turner Never apologize for loving that movie. It was a masterpiece and ***** is wrong.

[@discipleprojectoutreach]

Apology retracted :)

[@TheBrickly]

He was probably talking about the video game

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

Paul Turner It's okay to like things other people don't like. It's also okay to not like things other people like.

[@AnneEliseMorrigan]

Paul Turner The first eight times I saw it, I loved it too. Every time since, nope. Can't stand it. Mostly the fault of Chris Tucker.

[@caroline-kc8pd]

On the hair one when he was moving the piece on the up and down who else thought of my hair goes up, my hair goes down?

[@emmatation9940]

+Caroline Rivers Yes! I was screaming that at the screen like, "C'mon guys, it's your FREAKING SONG!"

[@MRS4EVA]

+Emma Barratt That would explain why the shame meter was rising so fast.

[@caroline-kc8pd]

MRS4EVA LOL

[@christyschmidt7840]

+Leia Organa Yes!!

[@mayorofsimpleton5674]

ME!!!

[@fireninjawizard709]

Finally this episode is out, when I heard about it on GMM I looked all over for it. That was last year...

[@amylawson88]

I know Link mentioned it last year and I have been looking forever. It's so weird as a GMM watcher for something to take this long.

[@marioflores586]

I need a remix for Rhett's I whip my hair back and forth

[@krackerkid5]

lol, rhett and link need to be on this show more often!

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

lol "Toilet Seat" "it's a piece of cake" "A piece of can."

[@MrPyeAlot]

Joseph Scrimshaw arms are like looking into the sun

[@TheWindLeo]

Where was this episode hiding!?!? I thought I saw all of them..... Good episode!

[@ellap6828]

This is AMAZING! My favorite show (Star Trek) and one of my favorite KZbin channels (GMM) come together!!!

[@EllitopiaGaming]

:O My two favourite YT shows smushed together to make one awesome episode! Will it KZbin? Yes it will!

[@micahphilson]

THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL SEASON FOR! Rhett and link mentioned by accident in early january or so they'd be in an episode of tabletop, so I came here to find it and consequently became a follower of geek and sundry since the second episode of this season of tabletop. Now, months later, IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! Gosh it took forever!

[@dalalm1821]

Finding about Rhett and Link was the sweetest thing that happened in my life.

[@EmmaBonn96]

Yep, What a concept. I could use a little fuel myself

[@00Grunk]

And we could all use a little change.

[@hlovell852]

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming

[@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist]

fed to the rules and I hit the ground running...

[@kaitlynj.7389]

"I am glad that this is a team game, so i came blame everybody else when we totally botch this." 😂😂 good strategy Link!

[@radishraccoon3657]

Possibly one of the best episodes of TableTop I've seen. The guests were all amazing, the game looked really fun, and the animation did a fantastic job of showing the gameplay. The emotion when they finally guessed correctly each time was fantastic.

[@InsaneDarkRainbow]

Link just knew right off the bat! Those two are so freaking synchronized

[@lukaea]

I have to say, congratulations to the editing team on this episode!

[@harrypotterfantng]

Gosh, this has been in my watch later since APRIL. So glad I finally watched it. 3 of my favorite people (and Joseph Scrimshaw, whom I am unfamiliar with, but seems cool) in one video! How delightful.

[@IamMissPronounced]

I DESPERATELY NEED MORE OF THIS GAME

[@penguinn8909]

Rhett and Link have a strong bond and understanding of each others thought process and mannerisms. Theres no way they wont be able to get each others. My mom and I arent allowed to be on teams in games like this for that reason.

[@_local]

Three of my favourite youtuber people in one video! Awesome!

[@disaidra]

I like that for this one we can all play along with the guessing. I got absolutely none of them XD

[@ragabashmoon1551]

Oh God, first I don't know how I missed this episode all these years, and second, I was screaming "Enjoy the Silence!" in my head and they didn't get it... I'm so sorry Wil. Your concept was perfect :(

[@georgeboyes864]

I love Rhett and Link, and them being on this show is what introduced me to it, can you get them back again? It would be brilliant to see them in a game competing against each other

[@kuurro5769]

“Lightning tomato, lightning salmon.” Me: *holding my head over a table* “What has the world come to?”

[@liraelgirl8]

Rhett & Link just know how each other thinks too well. Best bros!

[@CannedCaineghis]

You know when I heard Rhett say he was part of a comedic duo. All I could envision was an American version of Gaki no Tsukai where Rhett & LInk host and participate like Downtown. Now I can't stop wanting it.

[@travishopkins4124]

Anything Rhett + Link touch is gold. Even their shame is gold!

[@MV-nx5xo]

"You know what the squiggle means. heh heh" -Link Neal

[@VaporShock1]

Saw Rhett and Link so I watched, love the show. Subbed

[@kellymoore2079]

This episode was sooo funny! Wil's real life Kermit flail made me love him even more! And tht owl bear on the loser's couch probably made me laugh much harder than it was supposed to! Lolz

[@ilovemartinmilner]

Rhett looks so proud when he gets his piece of yellow tape. :)

[@TheHouseOffice]

The way Rhett and Link can communicate mentally is creepy.

[@kornklone]

Rhett and Link need to come back! Often! I whip my hair back and forth...

[@DanielWahlfridsson]

This episode was really well done. Nice editing!

[@coryklein2703]

Link is singing... "I, don't, hear negativity," while snapping but Rhett's just like I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH! I WHIP MY HAIR BACK IN FORTH!

[@ladydominion8632]

Wil Wheaton, I love you for knowing Depeche Mode...

[@Wanna0388]

i been waiting for this ever since, rhett and link said they were on table top a week ago :P

[@krissysally]

This gave me so much joy. Rhett & Link + Wil Wheaton! What is happening! Mind blown! Best. Thing. Evah!

[@OKaysional]

the look of triumph on links face at 12mins as he just sits back and waits for the guesses

[@kennethjensen3684]

Came for Rhett and Link! Awesome :D also i like Wil!

[@ParanoidTheMarvin]

I will believe it if they say they are telepathic.

[@Francisco_Chavira]

GAHHHH FINALLY I've been waiting for this episode forever. Ever since the announced it on GMM. Thank you for this!

[@jamesterkelly21]

"I don't play basketball, but it's like throwing the ball thing from the far place to get the three points". LOL

[@cayetanotrazonamoraldejr.2244]

I really miss this

[@TimmyTechTV]

27:40 - You are dead to me Wil

[@tiagodias9]

I miss this show so much!

[@salem5755]

This is my favorite Table Top video. It was so funny and had so many references!😁

[@HudyFunny]

I love Wil Wheaton!

[@GeekandSundry]

+sam knight So do we!

[@kierananthony25]

You're putting emphasis on the H. ;)

[@1337-Nathaniel]

HWill HWHeaton

[@jakobmate]

Cool Hwhip

[@Theyungcity23]

"The man woman thing. I was totally in another place" that moment when you and the person in the video say the exact same thing at the exact same time.

[@nicholaspewdiepie8427]

man rhett is good with the hints and link catches what he means so well it is a bit surprising how well they worked on this well on rhetts turn somewhat on links

[@mikemarvel549]

all these games on wil and felicia's show are great to see here. thank you so much for making the episodes entertaining or funny as hell, teaching and encouraging me and others to play boardgames and talk to friends or make friends instead of just watching tv or using a cell phone all day. has to be the best boardgame show, wil wheaton is in it. love having all these games' instructions explained, cause i have the worst time reading and understanding the instructions, so this is perfect.

[@everygameguy]

Joseph: I think I might be holding the team back, but I don't think they know. So I feel very good about that.Rhett: We DO know. That you're holding us back. Me: The power of telepathy knows no bounds.

[@locke6854]

I love Rhett and Link! I feel bad for Joseph Scrimshaw... seems awkward in social situations....

[@ariesandenvy]

thats what makes him awesome!

[@aprilerickson6651]

Wil says Baby Fish Mouth and literally laughed out loud. "Oh but baby fish mouth is sweeping the nation!"

[@StandAsYouAre]

LOL!! I love the Fifth Element bit... Classic!!

[@Don_Corben]

How they didnt know "enjoy the silence"

[@firedonut3]

Joe: It's where you throw the ball thing from the far place where you get the three points.

[@petesalzl1]

one of my favorites because shame as the timer is amazing and the scene where rhett proclaims they do know scrimshaw is holding them back makes me crack up everytime

[@lestza2627]

This is the bast TableTop Ep that i ever watch , thank you ,you make my day :3

[@qdHazen]

Poor Owlie the Owlbear. So lonely...

[@docnevyn5814]

qdHazen It was more than he could bear

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

Doc Nevyn Puns like that aren't helping, owl have you know.

[@qdHazen]

Keep that up and you'll be in waterdeep trouble!

[@docnevyn5814]

Now is the dead of winter of our discontent

[@willemverheij3412]

William Bowles I am sure he is beary sorry about it.

[@the_light_writer]

I was thinking the whole time that the phrase was "Hair today, gone tomorrow". Anyone else?

[@TaengJr]

Been playing Kings Quest have we?

[@the_light_writer]

Karl Täng Nope. never heard of it.

[@MinaF99]

Sweet Heart thought it was "splitting hairs"

[@jilaelennio6944]

Sure was.

[@reddjinn911]

"That totally came from my brain."

[@greedy_muppet]

Looks like such a fun game! And made even more fun by the people playing it.
