[@HunterAkins]

GAME SUGGESTIONS- lethal company Stranded deep/ raft Sons of the forest Played alone Alan wake 2 Poppy playtime 3 All these do have that spooky element too them

[@mead0ws0vergrown]

the idea of a 70 year old man and a 20 year old blue haired woman hiking to find big foot whilst he also snaps instagram photos of her next to a pool of blood is very funny

[@AKindOfDog]

Dream team tbh

[@michelledulin7214]

I would watch that reality tv show. Stick two strangers in a trailer with people in Sasquatch suits that hunt them.

[@Kat-gr7yc]

Basically the plot of the last of us 😭

[@magickalmason]

Supportive grandpa spending quality time with his granddaughter

[@oscaranderson5719]

I can only picture the kind of research paper that’d come out of a successful bigfoot hunt. “In the expedition, the research team discovered a now-extinct species of North-American hominid…”

[@BiancaGrint]

Literally fxcking crying rn. It's the yelling & the screaming & the high pitched "He's killing me!"s

[@shelby4771]

lol "he's beating me with a STICK" 🤣💀

[@Sassymouse88]

😂 also I think one of the producers was laughing in the background too

[@BiancaGrint]

24:20 The sound he made lmfao. This ep was pure entertainment man I swear.

[@chuwineshia3615]

Omg im sooo done with them… my god im laughing s o hard i cqnt breathe😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh man Ryan screaming and running away from Bigfoot while Shane tries to save him had me crying. Top tier finale guys, please do more two player games next season!

[@vocalvortexstudios2058]

*guns going off, ryans screaming* "STAY AWAY FROM MY FRIEND!!"

[@badoomchhroxi]

@@vocalvortexstudios2058 even in peril, they’re still ✨besties✨

[@fryingpan510]

FOR REAL! Started laughing uncontrollably at that

[@mariasotomayor4454]

imagine an overcooked episode.....

[@userkive]

ryan starting these supposedly teamwork games trying to kill shane is also becoming a series 😭😭😭

[@nicolen4401]

Or a personality trait, he loves chaos

[@witchy.business]

It backfired this time lol

[@milathe314]

“He’s beating me with a stick!!! He’s beating me with a stick!!!” Ryan shrieking as the two try to fight off Bigfoot is so fucking hilarious 💀💀💀💀

[@stevie2.0]

ryan trying to make up an enemies to lovers storyline for his and shanes characters every episode is the subplot I watch this series for

[@sandpiperr]

Let's be honest, though, in the one about the prison escape they didn't have to try very hard!

[@nevaehbraun4377]

tbh that was more like “there was only one bed"@@sandpiperr

@@nevaehbraun4377 Um, yeah, that was literally my point! wtf is your problem?

@@sandpiperrbro it’s not that serious 😭😭

[@HoneyxLime]

@@shanijwlmao the over the top aggressive response to a comment that’s literally agreeing with them is HILARIOUS

[@la_arana_discoteca]

The mental image of Bigfoot fleeing in terror from an 11-year-old boy with a knife is just golden.

[@emilynguyen4785]

after rereading the description william is a college student? i assume that is who you are talking about

[@xenomorphiia]

I saw it too, he is a college student. A tiny one.@@emilynguyen4785

[@alex-fs9yt]

hey, i would be scared b=of an 11 year old with a knife too lmao but i think he's a college dude

[@RainWelsh]

35:08 the idea of a little guy getting trapped in a village alone, running out of all other options, and then just becoming utterly unhinged as he tries - and actually succeeds - to knife-fight Bigfoot is the funniest part of this for me. “Give me your skin! COME BACK HERE, YOU COWARD, GIVE ME YOUR SKIN, IT’S MINE!” is giving me Puppet History flashbacks.

[@FrankfurtSil]

at 25:05, the comedic timing of Ryan saying "And hope we don't run into-" And bigfoot running into frame then broth of them screaming in high pitched voices

[@lenickaa]

Bigfoot: I have no fears A small boy named William walks in with a kitchen knife screaming: GIVE ME YOUR SKIN! Bigfoot: I have one fear 35:05 😂

[@mmmomiji]

When Ryan!Bigfoot was losing to Shane!Billy I nearly busted a gut laughing 😂

[@rebeccabehrens4472]

When Shane said, "Now that I have a taste." That was so creepy lol.

[@lenickaa]

@@rebeccabehrens4472 at that moment he became the bigfoot and Ryan the pray

[@libby5432]

bigfoot ryan lumbering away doing the gremlin laugh while being chased by Shane is just perfect

[@firelight09]

and then Shane sets him on fire lmao

[@imnotkiddinggg]

25:30 shane sniping bigfoot to save ryan just for him to get choke slammed as ryan watches helplessly was fucking peak

[@huhhwuhh]

literally crying at "I wasted my flare so if Bigfoot comes back at us we're fucked" followed by Bigfoot sprinting toward Shane from the distance. 2 straight minutes of screaming and I'm laughing like I'm at a comedy club the whole time

[@iheartbusterk82]

Please do more seasons of Survival Mode. Every episode has been so much fun.

[@chandlersutton]

even a whole gaming channel would be sooo great

[@ml11566]

34:54 the perspective of "little guy" Shane furiously stabbing Ryan is so freaking funny

[@novalyn.acidgin]

The chaos after that wolf attack sold me on this game. My god. 😂😂 I havent laughed that hard in a while. "Hes beating me with a stick!!" Literally in tears.

[@shelby4771]

LOL the fact that Bigfoot was so obviously like "fuck these guys" and RAN STRAIGHT down the road towards them and them not even noticing 🤣🤣🤣

[@Tiddley]

Ryan’s POV during that scene with Shane screaming and shooting the wolf close range had me crying. I could watch hours of the play through of this game 😂

[@mazurkamiu]

shane screeching GIVE ME YOUR SKIN while playing the little dude stabbing bigfoot nearly took me tf out

[@cygnia]

"Are you still stabbing me?" *stabs Shane* "...no..."

[@noblenansa]

for folks with auditory processing issues there's an alarm tone that begins at 32:12 and is pretty continuous until the end

[@AKindOfDog]

I genuinely wish they had turned it off, it made the end of the video almost unbearable

[@cammel]

Thank you 🙏

[@clover1034]

Ryan freezing and turning into a backpack before Shane's very eyes is tragic and hilarious (27:46)

[@michelle6337]

"This must be what Shaq feels like" almost made me spit out my coffee.

[@leovaldez7991]

Shane’s strategy to kill Bigfoot just being repeatedly setting him on fire was top tier

[@elise3419]

35:06 ryan, a huge beast, running away from shane, a tiny almost toddler looking guy screaming I STAB THEE is the funniest shit

[@zendatwj]

Little William shouting "I STAB THEE" made my day

[@spast984]

Shane to Ryan: you get too into this stuff, you're a sicko, man also Shane barely 5 minutes later: GIVE ME YOUR SKIN I WILL WEAR YOU LIKE A COAT

[@Tolandiel]

Shane terrorizing Bigfoot Ryan as a little child with a knife is hilarious

[@bloepblep4287]

I cried actual tears because I was laughing so hard when bigfoot started attacking and you guys were out of ammo lol

[@zoemcgonnell5180]

I love sm that the boys made a plan, immediately went off script of the plan, got attacked, immediately panicked and lost all their supplies. 10/10 gameplay

[@TianaStauffer]

Ryan screaming like when squidward told SpongeBob the story of the hash slinging slasher😭😭😭

[@larissalind2872]

OMG SO TRUE!!!! Now I can’t unhear it, I replayed that part so many times. 😂😂😂

[@lillieberger8284]

That’s exactly what I thought too! I was hoping someone else would mention it!

[@maddie5990]

Ryan's high pitch "RUN! AHH! RUN! AHHH!" made the whole game 😂😂

[@roachno.24]

part of the reason this is so funny is that theyre screaming like this is a real thing happening to them. theyre SO immersed

[@Zeplin02]

24:20 read your comment right when Ryan screamed here and laughed so hard

[@MariRueter]

Hearing both Ryan and Shane scream when Bigfoot was attacking them was the best part!!! Made me laugh so hard 🤣

[@J-Rod91]

“I’m a sneeze away from dying!” “That guy tossed me like a salad!” 😆😂🤣 on a roll!

[@GW-kl2cb]

"you can't take him, he has a stick!"

[@juleslazio423]

The amount of genuine SCREAMING had tears streaming down my face. Maybe the best episode yet.

[@vjrhapsodos6990]

Ive been told that the makers of this game are originally from the Ukraine, and had to evacuate when the war began. So its really cool that their game has been played by a lot of big channels, including Watcher! And it might also explain the typo at the beginning 😅

[@Cocobeware18]

4:45 FYI These makers are an independent Ukrainian game dev company so that prob explains it- English is most likely not their first language

[@bluejediforce]

That also explains the Ukrainian flag on one of the buildings!

[@DrMonsteraMD]

In one of Markiplier's Bigfoot playthroughs, he explains that the developers were actively fleeing Ukraine while developing the game, which is bananas. I hope they're okay.

[@DefaultGray]

Put a VHS filter over this and it's the greatest found footage parody ever created.

[@uglybetty8747]

Yassss nd stretch to an hr nd a half

[@san_and]

25:00 need this timestamp to repeat the immediate chaos 😭😭

[@ZannaZatanna1]

tyyy

[@xcheeltroncoso2002]

That was perfect timing! 😂😂

[@dannyschiffer]

Shane shouting "give me your skin" is giving me hologram professor flashbacks

[@theraven2663]

Shane screaming "I stab thee! I stab thee!" is one of the funniest thinga I have watched today.

[@ladykstra]

A few days ago after the last episode, I was all like 'yeah I'd love to watch a vid of these guys playing Minecraft for 5 hours' I would FOR SURE watch 5 hours of this chaos on repeat.

[@LovelyLilly90]

"I got pics bro, I got pics! I got pics!" 😂😂😂😂 new merch ideas😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-uv8zb7su9k]

Please!! Lethal Company would be so much fun!!!! just need the boys in different rooms for the full effect

[@Yaya_likestocomment]

6:03 not Ryan fighting his urge to shoot Shane and Shane being completely oblivious 🤣🤣🤣

[@JarethTheGoblinKing123]

The “Ooh!” Ryan made after accidentally falling down the cliff killed me. I had to rewatch that like five times. OoH!

[@abbiem1663]

'hes trying to knock down my tower...' 'HE KNOCKED DOWN MY TOWER' shane: 'where is he i want to kill him with my knife' ryan: 'you cant beat him he has a stick'

[@nicki___]

"She's hoping to receive a Nobel Prize in cryptozoology-- that's probably why she has a *shotgun* :D" IM CRYING p.s.-- Rick's bio sounds more like Ryan's coming-to-ghosthunting... seeing toothpaste move once and then dedicating his career to documenting ghosts is Something.

[@sed6657]

"Kids only vape bc they like inhaling flavored air!!!" *drinks flavored air

[@aubryellaotero1064]

Literally just refreshed my KZbin thinking “Watcher should release a survival mode episode today”

[@StephanieChaffin-Virgo1982]

😂 same

[@jarednunn5801]

Same lol

[@sevdrag]

Ryan's constant screaming any time Bigfoot is there is a blessing

[@Sek_Einsatze_]

24:58 talk about perfect timing 😂

[@TatiQ0]

Never have I heard two grown men scream like that. Definitely worth it. 😂

[@vtn05001]

Poppy Playtime 3 is out guys, you should play it as a special episode!!

[@luioviedo2416]

YES PLEASE

[@Wompwomp23]

⁠OMG YES

[@Alicia-rg7ou]

LMAOOO "let's hope he doesn''t come back" immediately runs at them. That whole part had me dying

[@NekoChev]

The way Ryan just screams is classic! LMAO!

[@bbyvshleyy]

The wolf set y’all up 😂😭 that was hilarious

[@lemn_]

As someone with perhaps "too many" hours on Bigfoot, I can confirm this is a certified banger. In other words, I find it incredibly entertaining watching people play it for the first time, ESPECIALLY this video

[@Stoneeeeemo]

24:59 the timing is just impecable

[@offingpoet]

shane and ryan survival mode: day = made

[@razexdee7543]

“bigfoot is the laziest name for a cryptid” did they forget about mothman and goatman🧐🧐

[@elnombre5597]

of course, what else would you call a moth that is also a man and a goat that is also a man?

[@gracehowell.]

So pathetic that they had to steal his bridge.

[@wormie1312]

in all fairness to Mothman, the original reports actually described him looking like a bat, so the name is a little inventive (if only because they couldn’t call him Batman)

[@gast321]

I love when the boys do anything cryptid related

[@lukepasca9765]

"At Dead of Night" is a really fantastic (and genuinely terrifying) horror fmv game that I think they would get a kick out of. One player, but I like to play with my friends where they call the shots and I move the character, and I've never seen my friends more scared

[@jacquelyngarcia]

This week, Ryan's screams sound like Toad's

[@thatgirl_withtheglasses874]

The high pitched, "screaming for my life" scream will always be just *chefs kiss*

[@kyndramb7050]

The flare gun turned out to be a great asset.

[@jamiebaby93]

Ryan at the beginning of every multiplayer game: *tries to kill Shane*

[@elleruach2301]

So when I first had this on today, I was at work only listening to it and was trying hard not to bust up at the few minutes of complete chaos at about 25:00. I started coming apart when Ryan was screaming HE'S HITTING ME WITH A STICK!

[@elnombre5597]

Are we not gonna talk about how Shane's favourite scent pod is CUCUMBER... is this man even real??

[@CYMotorsport]

25:34 lowers pistol to casually watch Bigfoot do Kane’s finishing move on Shane 😂

[@Awkblkgrl]

25:06 the screaming and sheer panic 😂😂 i haven't laughed so hard like this for a long time. This is why i love Ryan and Shane

[@MFBloosh]

They should've brought him a beer. I heard from a reputable source that cans of beer lure Bigfoots.

[@candace3358]

"You can't take him, he has a STICK!" 😂

[@spideyham]

I love Survival Mode so much, this season improved on every aspect of the first and also made for absolutely hilarious moments during each game they played!! Some games I think y’all should play next season are Fortnite (I know it’s kind of confirmed at this point, but still) and It Takes Two! It Takes Two is made by the same people who worked on A Way Out and it’s the same kind of game (2 players working together), but goofier!!

[@AshleyLynn918]

Love how many times Shane said “this is fun!!”. Love y’all! ❤❤

[@vanessathenessa]

The screaming made me laugh out loud at work and the fact that I can hear the people in the background laughing too made it even better.😂😂😂

[@karsenlynyaps]

The "he's killing me" was very Friday 13th pt.4 😂

[@lizzim4thewin]

“ I stab thee, I stab thee!” It’s giving Shakespeare. Love you Shane lol ❤

[@poppyonline4034]

I love that part!!

[@lindsayschechert9050]

ryan's sasquatch screech is probably one of the funniest noises ever 😂

[@tedosterone497]

“You can’t take him! He’s got a stick!!”

[@TearStreak]

all the unhinged screaming made this ep to GOLD 😂😂😂

[@tklondon2818]

Anyone coming back to these videos now that they’re about to go behind a pay wall?

[@abbystafford7549]

I came to check how many people were credited on this video's production - 18 for an episode of a let's play. No wonder they are so concerned about production costs, this seems to be woefully mismanaged 😭

[@Nabinomic]

Keep Talking and Nobody explodes would amazing for them to play

[@victai163]

YESSS GOD

[@sarahirwin561]

The screaming is literally giving anchorman 2 "SAVE THE CHILDREN" IYKYK

[@KaytaRaven]

25:00 Ryan screaming like a little girl is cracking me up

[@we_love_cheesecake]

"Help, he's beating me with a stick" 😭😭😭 I can't I was screaming my lungs out lol.

[@tjbullard4243]

This is a segment that needs to last for a long time! It’s the perfect activity for Ryan and Shane to do!

[@odycey]

You guys should play Plate Up! it's a simple cooking game and might not have that kind of eerie scary BUT it is about survival and still will cause screaming

[@Frindle_Babbin]

plate up gameplay is like cocomelon to me i would love to see them yell at each other while making pizza

[@KaytaRaven]

I’d love a Watcher/Drawfee collab where Drawf draw the most terrifying monsters that Shane and Ryan can think of, or even the type of monsters that Ryan believes are real. Julia’s incredible at creepy stuff so it’ll be amazing to see

[@orbcat1790]

PLEASE I NEED THIS

[@shi_vi2238]

I have not seen such concentrated pure chaos in a while. Thank you ghoul boys.

[@katalyria]

loved this season~ it was so great to see y'all in Chicago!! Here are some game rec's for next season: Lethal Company, The Blackout Club, and Baldur's Gate 3.

[@leahklein6814]

I literally had to pause bc the screaming had me on the floor dying 😂😂

[@Diego-xo8mx]

“GIVE ME YOUR SKIN! I WILL WEAR YOU LIKE A COAT” Shane thinks of skinning Ryan constantly.

[@monalisasssmile]

the amount of money i would pay to just sit and watch this in person as ryan giggles and shane is laughing

[@xHelloAngie]

These multiplayer gaming videos are my FAVE!!!!!

[@hannahdevyor858]

I almost had to mute the video when the beeping was going off omg I couldn’t take it 😂

[@nicolecorria2782]

the way i need to see them play lethal company

[@vicfern25]

the boys gotta play lethal company!

[@katharinerobey8052]

I love hearing crew laughing in the background lmao The boys are dying and there's just laughter. It's so perfect.
