[@ProZD]

if you want to submit questions for a future Q&A video, you can pledge to my Patreon here: www.patreon.com/ProZD

[@edibleballbearings]

All I want to know is whether Sung Won ever did Senshi's line: 'Tis Finished!

[@noahclark7603]

I hope you’re doing well bro. Hope you your wife and your cat are receiving the best.

[@Sith9890]

personally speaking, as primarily a Let's Play channel consumer, I love the Let's Trys. Always watch them when they go up

[@BruceBoyde]

Same. I'm probably a fairly high pledge monthly donor for Patreon, specifically for the LP channel. I also love the Let's Try videos.

[@BabadoeTTV]

The Let's Try videos are my favorite on the channel!

[@MooGiGon666]

I love the try videos. Always an insta watch for me. The group ones are fun because we get to see everyone's different takes play off one another, but it's also fun to just watch you settle into an arc of hating or being surprised by a place's food.

[@shubashubashubas]

The try everything series is a go-to for whenever I'm feeling down or upset about my life in general. There's something about the presentation, the music, the hatred of particular items, the surprising wins, I love all of it. It'd be a real shame to see those gone. Gang, let's work together to keep it alive.

[@quiche_lorraine_]

I'm always very surprised to hear about the hate for the food videos. They're my absolute favorite on the channel and I like to go back and rewatch them. Very much a comfort food (ha) type of video!

[@TheYoungPanda]

If you stop Let's Try, I will never get any laundry done ever again. It my wife and I's ritual viewing for folding time.

[@BeanyTA]

I get the feeling the let's try videos are the type of videos that have a very loyal fan base, including myself. Outside of that fan base, I don't know that a lot of people go ahead and watch them, which is a shame. So while I will gladly watch every new let's try as it comes out and have rewatched a bunch of the old ones many times. I can understand if they need to go, especially considering how much money goes into them. Personally, I prefer them solo, but I think the group episodes are good too. Maybe the compromise if such a thing can even happen is going back to some more snacks instead of restaurants? Those should be cheaper in theory.

[@jvever4904]

I love the Let's try videos, watch every one... might need to watch them multiple times now!

[@matthewkemmer]

Obviously do what's best for you, but the Let's Try videos are the best

[@solitarelee6200]

This is such a perfect way of putting it

[@SunnySunday-i5l]

As a long-time watcher, I have to say it does feel a bit grim. The channel dying seems to be a topic that gets brought up in every new video. Idk, it's kind of sad. I hope you know, for what it's worth, you've brought a lot of happiness into my life with your videos, and no matter what happens, I'm grateful for the content over the years!

[@Zeivrox]

I actually recently binge all of your Let’s Try videos. I really enjoyed them. It has that calming vibe to it for me. I’d love for you to continue making them but of course if it ain’t doing well then I’ll have no complaints either.

[@USAbootie]

Also please do what is best for your mental health and all other things. If people are dogging you down, you make the decision. I do love those vids though!!!

[@morganfreeman-sheehy842]

Honestly with the Lets Trys it does kinda feel like you did everything there was to do, you hit all the big targets. And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.

[@happyhatebot]

Hmm. You do tend to do AMAZING villain roles on the Let's Play channel. Probably the definitive Monokuma for me, for example! So I'm not surprised you enjoy those roles, though obviously I'm a fan of your work in general. Always makes me smile when I see your name in a cast list. Hopefully you can get some more villain roles soon!

[@solitarelee6200]

I'd love to see him voice like the villain of a kids show. Like he could absolutely do a serious scary villain too, but I just really want kid show villain 😂

[@FirahFabe]

I always enjoy your Let's Try videos! I really like the coziness vibes. Especially as someone who does not eat alot of food, i enjoy living vicariously in your food experience. Plus it gives me an opportunity to be curious and try those snacks/dishes one day when i travel for some that I dont have access to in my local area.

[@Eclyptical]

I only recently got into the Let's Try videos, but I really enjoy them and it is a shame to see that people are complaining about videos that they have every right to skip! I hope that the views pick up soon, but if not then please let us know if you ever add a Patreon tier for them because that honestly might be what convinces me to subscribe.

[@derfriede]

To be honest, he doesn't have any pledge tiers so I donate 3 € exactly because I don't feel like I am being forced to spend something for a good content if I don't want to.

[@glizzy2.O]

My wife literally refers to you as, "the guy who tries the sandwiches" We're here for Let's Try.

[@cuthalionxvi]

My wife and I are always excited whenever a Let's Try video comes out! So I selfishly hope you keep making them.

[@adancein]

Yooo Haunted Chocolatier!! I'm so hyped for that too

[@emememememememememe]

what a coincidence, I'm due to rewatch all let's try videos ever published

[@cloudybo5555]

ProZD plays games is legitimately one of my favorite channels on youtube, along with this one! I love watching the Let's Try videos, they have such a good, chill energy. But it's whatever is the best for the channel, would not blame you for stopping it if it isnt worth it.

[@MrKhanage]

6:35 - let's try video response

[@Galuna]

King.

[@latios_xd]

I don't instant click videos like I do with your let's try food videos. Insanely good content. I will rewatch them if it's been a while without an upload. It honestly feels like it hasn't been years since the newer format started, but it's good stuff

[@neilballou]

I always watch the "Let's Try" videos. I don't know, whether it's by yourself or with a group, whether it's dishes from a restaurant or snacks from a particular brand, I just find those entertaining. And I typically learn about a few items in each video that I'd like to try myself, which is nice. It's a shame that people have to complain about them. All I know is, if that series does die, it won't be on my head.

[@USAbootie]

This man is best. Love this guy

[@kendra4932]

My first videos I saw of yours were your vines and skits, then the let’s try videos really got me checking your channel frequently. Now I’ve been watching the daily let’s play uploads on the game channel for the past several months and loving that. The let’s play channel almost dying even convinced me to join the Patreon lol! But seriously, the let’s try videos have always been my favorites from your main channel. They’re such good organic content that doesn’t feel forced, and they’re particularly fun when you brings guests. I can’t believe people complain about those videos, in groups or alone! I can’t see what’s to dislike

[@ArmarougeDude]

I like seeing all of Sungwon’s people

[@SevenXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXG4]

Add more tiers for the patreon! Would love to support in more ways than just $1!

[@mittensfastpaw]

Well whatever you end up doing I’ll still be watching and enjoying your content! I like stuff like the Let’s Try but I also fully understand the reasons it would stop. Love your Mordecai over on Lackadaisy as well! Looking forward to more! Hope you have a Merry Christmas this year my friend!

[@GuardianValkyrie]

i always watch the lets try when they come out when i’m having lunch or dinner!! it’s fun to eat along

[@solitarelee6200]

I've been enjoying the shorts from the let's play channel, I hope you keep doing them.

[@squirr3i14]

Personally I pretty much exclusively watch the food videos, so it'd be a shame for those to end. The only time I might skip one is if I've never heard of it (only example within the past year is the calbee snacks (but even that I think I'll watch after this video)), or if it's like recycled from stream and combined with a q&a, but you haven't done those in awhile. Also, yes I prefer you alone in your room but I'm pretty indifferent to guests.

[@makeitmythic]

aw, your food videos are the reason i found/watch your channel. i hope you continue to make them.

[@derkeve]

I hope the "let's try every" videos continue. I really like them and usually give them a like. Frequently I put them in my watch later and will watch one when I'm eating so I don't get hungry while watching. I think I've got 5 or 6 sitting in my watch later right now.

[@CriticalCyd]

Welp time to rewatch the whole Let's Try playlist, cause I'd love more

[@GScotty]

I love the Let's Try videos, and I watch them over and over all the time haha :) Hope you do whatever YOU want to do tho :)

[@snowpoint720]

Your voice in Pluto was amazing!!!

[@frenchtrip]

I much prefer the videos where you are solo reviewing the different foods. Your unique rants always crack me up

[@StrlessXbow]

I do miss more of the at-my-desk style lets-try videos, or ones with less people in them. I acknowledge they're probably less fun and more work to make though. Love your lets-try content either way

[@imbw267]

Loved the Q&A session at PAX Unplugged!

[@benobrien7920]

Dude I love the lets try videos. Your takes on food are so based and hilarious, and can even be legitimately useful for finding the best flavor/variety of a food.

[@saiyanprime]

I watch all the lets try videos. Love em. I think in one of them I might have commented that I didn't love the try everything at once format cuz it all seemed so rushed and you kind of seemed over it during the video, can't recall which one it was. But I'm definitely loving the group effort to eat all the food. Regardless of how you do them, I'll keep watching.

[@spinnirack3645]

You were my favorite character in pluto if only by a slim margin since that show had so many great characters

[@chinchilly]

i love the try everything videos, they're what brought me to this channel

[@shoot4thestars176]

Please continue making Let's try videos. My brother and I (what's up Vic!) have been watching it since five years ago, back when I was in middle school. Now that I'm in my first year of college, I always make time for us to watch the newest one together.

[@neccosan]

Outside of skits, the let's try are my favorite 😢

[@SergeyS4545]

I love your try everything videos. It be definitely easier if it's fast food places and not like a sit down . Or just do like snack brands. Much easier

[@gwen6622]

at first i was like "aw man, that sucks, i know views are going down but like-" then when you said those videos are not cheap to make, i was like oh yeah. duh. obviously. and then i thought about spending the money to buy that amount of food too and holy shit, it has to be so much. like repeatedly, in order to do them on a semi regular basis. i think its fair to say you probably make quite a bit more money than i do, but im not an idiot, i think youd laugh in my face if i vastly overestimated how much money you make, haha. so yeah, i cant even imagine. i mean i watch the videos but im only one person and i only count for 1 view, so i hope the views go up. how do i end this comment? i feel like if i've written this much, i should probably have some sort of like... point that i'm making. but uh, i don't. end of comment

[@marachime]

i love the let's trys! I use them to have a moment of calm and fun, or to sleep when i'm anxious. they are really helpful and me and the bf love watching them together and guessing what you'll rate things.

[@austingulotta9817]

There are things I don't like about different Let's Try videos thay you make, but there's a lot more that I like, and they're why my friends and family subbed to you. Plus, the things I dislike just add to the culture of the channel, they don't take anything away for me.

[@ForkNinjaa]

Please keep the Let's Try videos!!!

[@BeepasGarage]

The Let's Try Videos are my favorite.

[@Foxelz]

The let’s try videos are probably the most important videos on the website

[@Kveg-y6k]

Steve is great and I still watch every episode but always much love to Jay. He is incredible.

[@suulix4065]

I’m really glad that this channel is still up and running, I love your content and your commitment to your youtube craft as it were 😁 I imagine finding new things to Lets Try is a challenge due to how many you already have! Those videos are definitely some of my favorites though

[@AbraRelaxin]

I think your Let's Try videos just need a bit of a change up on the foods being eaten. The full fast food or restaurant menus are so over done by many other KZbinrs who focus on reviewing that. Your best success has come from Brand/Nostalgia type of videos which don't need to showcase the food, we just get to validate or not our own opinions on foods we haven't eaten in quite sometime or different flavors of that. Seeing that there are 21 different lunchables, means there are probably ones we didn't try when younger and wonder how ours ranks up.

[@corylcreates]

This was my thought too!

[@ced11773]

I recently became a Patreon supporter because prozd has provided me with countless hours of comforting videos 😊

[@aimeekil8436]

I do vote to keep the Let’s Try’s. It was my main reason to pledge for the patreon, along w the LP channel. I still go back to watch old Lets try’s while I eat lol

[@Quark_Face]

I love the let’s try videos. I always enjoy them no matter how many people are participating. They’ve also helped me expand my own horizons at certain places. When making a decision, I’ll say to myself, “ProZD liked this, maybe I’ll give it a try.” For me, they’re both fun and valuable. But I would certainly understand if they went away, they’re not everyone’s cup of tea.

[@TeamSlow]

As for the Let's Try videos, I least enjoy the ones where you're eating a bunch of cold, bad food from some crappy restaurant. I like the ones where you try every variety of a snack, especially if you try unusual flavors or varieties of something that is otherwise fairly commonly available.

[@alb7466]

I love the try things videos, would be a real shame if they stop getting made

[@tuckerdidit5890]

The Lets Try videos are honestly my comfort videos when I'm having a hard time. It's one of my 'safe media' when I'm having panic attacks or need to calm down. My partner and I also enjoy watching them while eating fast food - especially if it's the matching video to the fast food place lol. I enjoy all the lets try videos though, honestly.

[@tuckerdidit5890]

I know they're on the expensive end, but I really enjoyed the 'try everything of X snack brand' ones, maybe trying a few of those instead of doing the full restaurant ones for a bit might help the money issue?

[@coreyk6766]

Definitely my favorite videos you make outside of the skits!

[@zechester6346]

I love the letstry videos!

[@AmberCyprian]

The Let's Try videos are some of my favorites. They're genuinely comforting for me and while I totally understand the economical side of it all and it being ultimately up to your decision, I'd be sad to see them go. Do the things you need to that's best for you, and thank you for continuing to be willing to create content over the years!

[@mewnboy]

the let’s try videos are my favorite !!! but i understand if you gotta shift priorities

[@triangleshiny]

reply for the algorithm, its crazy to me that your channel is being hit so hard by it. i admittedly forgot the let's try videos existed until very recently but i can totally understand them being expensive to do for not much benefit. i used to watch the snack box trying videos on a regular basis.

[@Thiccolasjames]

Love that we share a similar feeling on Hades 2! Sad to see that Lets try might go, I watch them alone, with my wife and with my discord when we do youtube night

[@SoloStudiosOfficial]

Thank you for doing your meet & greet at PAX Unplugged! My friend was able to get a picture with you and have you autograph his favourite board game, which he discovered through your review videos!

[@ishimarooo]

I love the let's try videos, especially the ones with guests. totally understand if the low views aren't worth the cost and the work but personally I'd be bummed out if they disappeared

[@tunatunaleeks]

The caviar video is oddly one of my favorite videos in the entire Let’s Try series.

[@corylcreates]

I love the Let's Try videos! I've enjoyed the ones with groups and with you by yourself. I'm a little less interested in the fast food ones because so many channels do that. I like the snack food ones, and I would love if you did more regional stuff (like Canadian snacks, because hello from Canada). For the Let's Try food videos, I truly don't care if it's like "Let's try everything from this line/restaurant" because that is excessive and probably part of where the cost factor comes in. But it isn't necessary to try *everything* for me to enjoy it. I think it would be fun to do a "let's RE-TRY" format where you revisit some of the items and rank them again, and then compare the original ranking to any new rankings. This would also be fun if there are brands/companies who have said they've changed formulas for stuff.

[@themangomanjuice]

Very wholesome Q&A video from you as always🫶🏿!

[@ToonNick]

The try everything videos for me aren't something I immediately, but they're always fun when I'm in the mood for them specifically! I'll understand if you stop making them since I honestly didn't even think about the cost and it's kind of selfish to ask for them to continue if I'm not even one of the people watching it on release

[@sekhmetlives]

FWIW I love to watch the Let's Try videos! They're my favorite to watch while I also eat my dinner ♥

[@Jojothejman]

I do think you should probably just make a second channel for those other videos if alot of people don't really like them and the algorithm memes are a big deal. I didn't always watch the board game reviews, but I really appreciated seeing a game that I was interested in randomly in them and getting to quickly see if I wanted to try it out. Though I think it matters more if you actually want to do those videos as much.

[@klovexthewolf]

honestly i watch most of your videos cause i like seeing you :P

[@0dnan]

I miss the board/card game videos.

[@bogardeth]

Double Dire Wolf love. Glad you enjoy them!

[@lildigipoke]

Less full restaurants More of brands Profit

[@weabug]

i know comments like these come in a large quantity for you.. nevertheless - You never fail to soothe my anxiety and ensure I have at least one sincere laugh a day! Forever thankful for your charming content! Hope you and your loved ones have a lovely rest of December! Take care!❤

[@bjmw93]

I found your channel because of (and only have watched) the let's try videos for the most part, as not into anime or board games really. I was really hooked on those videos for a while. Recently, I haven't been able to watch them because the mic'd up chewing sound has been driving me nuts. Not sure if when I found the videos I wasn't watching with high quality earbuds in, or you're using different mics, or if I'm just getting more and more neurotic (definitely possible). In any case, that accounts for me not keeping up with the lets try videos anymore, or why I've not been watching the entire video anymore. Can't imagine that accounts for why other (normal) viewers are watching the let's try videos

[@keanus9871]

Every post-con survey I always put you down as a guest I want to see. Maybe one day it'll work

[@BruceBoyde]

Fwiw, my wife and I watch all of the Let's Try videos and I've been donating to the Patreon since day 1!

[@argaen21]

I love the lets try videos!

[@steampunkerella]

what is there even left for you to try?

[@HotDogBunss]

I love the try anything videos, but I get things shifting to different kinds of videos

[@edenofthegods4295]

Alot of stuff going on in Altoona PA these days 👀

[@makosk1llz]

Let's try videos are one of my favorites!

[@BobertJoe]

Personally I only watch the Lets Try videos when it is something that I have a personal attachment to. Im not personally somebody who really cares about people's opinions regarding things that I dont have a strong opinion about myself.

[@3MenAndALetsPlay]

I'm going to Holmat and am stoked to hear you will be there.

[@tormentakid]

The let's try videos are my favorites other than some of my favorite playthroughs 😭 I'm rooting for them!! You inspired me to pledge, this is one of my favorite and most authentic channels and I want it to go on for as long as you feel like doing it

[@fuffywuffy]

your lets try videos give me life

[@stephenpatterson2860]

I've commented this before but I'll mention it again for emphasis, if you do decide to quit actively doing KZbin I really hope you'll still leave the channel active so that your great videos will still be available to enjoy.

[@NeuralPixel1997]

I really like the Let’s Try videos 😢

[@dstaple3]

"There's one video in the bank" THERE'S A LET'S TRY BANKS VIDEO?! OHHHHHHHHHHH

[@EmporerDragon]

The problem is not the content, it's that damnable algorithm and all the disaster and misery it brings.

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

thanks prozd!

[@adamqjsmith]

I only have so much time for KZbin so i prioritize the food ones

[@cody6685]

I’d probably avoid the McDonalds when you visit Altoona.
