Idk if it’s just me but whenever I hear “a twonicycle, what else would you call a thing like that” I think of how fitting it is that he’s avoiding saying “bi” lmao

Best gay love song of all time is about unicycles

[@wa11ie]

as a gay who unicycles and has trouble confessing feelings, i approve this message

[@bel410la]

Gay? What? I thought this was just Unicycles?

[@TakaComics]

Zach going into the chorus with the twist is absolutely perfect, but can we talk about Ross trying to confess again by saying "instead of one wheel, you maybe had two?" THE READ, THE SETUP, and THE LANDING. Seriously, I want to cry at how beautiful this song is as an actual legitimate love song.

so true!!!!

[@JamesM1994]

No, that's Jessica McKenna.

[@iantaakalla8180]

Still, to make a legitimate song where they both want to confess to each other, but one is dodging it by talking about modes of transportation which puts the other person off, on the spot, is very cool.

[@charlesmendeley9823]

It's the most realistic portrayal of the LGBT experience. 😭

[@sillystringeater]

Im not even kidding this is genuinely such a tragic premise for a song

[@livinginfantasy1094]

They have weird names sometimes that when I first listened to the song I though Ross' character was named Nicycles. That the lyric was "There's cornhole and there's you, Nicycles"
