Got to say, I'm mildly disappointed that 3-fingered Ryan didn't inexplicably lose more fingers as the sketch went on.

[@attiasprouse682]

I’m surprised he didn’t say he lost one to frost bite and the other to something else unrelated.

someone definitely did a backflip, broke off the guys other finger and saved the day

[@Maker0824]

if it was being realistic there it would be freaking disgusting as the flesh would turn black as it necroses and gradually falls off

[@MyHumourFails]

Very impressed that Ryan cut off 2 of his fingers for one character and then regrew them for the other characters

[@zally8183]

well I think he filmed the other characters first and *then* cut off his fingers

that's what the clone storage room is for, hopefully he cuts the fingers before waking them up.

[@Anankin12]

On one side, that's how sketches work, it's normal. On the other, it takes an abnormal amount of creativity to manage to do it as well as he does. He's a treasure.

Using the popsicle sticks for arts and crafts is TIGHT!

[@JoeSyxpack]

It was also David's idea to wrap ice cream sandwiches in paper so thin that little pieces of it keep getting stuck to the outside so you end up eating them.

[@manxgirl]

And to make push-ups have little disk of plastic that pushes the frozen treat out of the tube. But, the plastic disk easily shifts, resulting in sticky fingers that you have to now lick, and...I'm gonna shut up before this gets any dirtier. 😅

[@mr.lizard666]

It was also his idea to make ice cream give you brain freezes and sometimes stomach freezes if your unlucky

[@johnh8546]

I think it was also David that decided the gumball eyes of the novelty character sherbert pops will never actually line up with the characters' eyes.

[@genegray9895]

Just to build on David's idea there what if we also made the ice cream bread extremely fragile but also one of the stickiest substances known to man, so that it sticks to the person's fingers and then rips apart as soon as you try to let go.

[@burnyizland]

@@mr.lizard666 WTH is a stomach freeze? Does it hurt like a brain freeze or are we talking about shutting down your gut motility? I've never heard of such a thing.

My toddler recently discovered her love for icecream on a wooden splintering handle and frozen juice in a sharp plastic tube so this very relatable to our house hold. The only thing this skit is missing is how lollipop sticks also like to disintegrate into small mushy paper pieces and bend in half

[@insaincaldo]

Yeah, you don't even get to try avoiding to eat the lollipop stick. Who's idea was this?!

[@robertrichardapril]

Can't relate. Was even surprised this was a thing, or that the taste was considered weird. No one in my kid or adult life as ever shared opinions on the matter. Maybe it's one of those things that people just assume that everyone feels the same as them.

I'm from the US and the taste of the sticks often makes me gag. It's terrible! Not just a Canada thing.

[@Naizurr]

I'm from the US and have never even heard of popsicle sticks having any flavor whatsoever, it's just smooth tasteless wood

[@chawndel8279]

@@Naizurr It depends on the brand. I've had some that were smooth and tasteless, I've had some that were rough and gave splinters. I've had some that tasted absolutely gawd awful to the point it actually overpowered the flavor of the treat.

Sometimes it's hard to watch how much Ryan picks on Ryan even when Ryan is standing right there watching it happen. What would Ryan say if he was here?

Wow wow wow wow... wow

The wood sticks make me glad Push-Ups exist. The kind with Nerds inside was a personal favorite as a kid, I can't believe they retired those...

I actually love the taste and texture of popsicle sticks it’s the splintering that’s an issue for me, I have definitely swallowed some splinters.

[@cardboard2night]

Been with you up till that last sentence, buddy 😬 please don't swallow splinters

[@EddwardTheSeventhSpaceWizard]

@@cardboard2night I’m not trying to, the popsicle sticks need to stop splintering.

[@cardboard2night]

@@EddwardTheSeventhSpaceWizard in all my years no matter of quality of ice cream I never had a splintering stick inside! and I live in a post-soviet country... what kinda of popsicle sticks they make in America?? can you just resort to cones instead?

[@EddwardTheSeventhSpaceWizard]

@@cardboard2night I could eat ice cream cones but popsicles are more like flavored ice than ice cream unless it’s a creamsicle. Creamsicles also tend to have better quality sticks.

[@Naizurr]

How tf are your popsicle sticks splintering? Not calling you a truthn't but this has literally never been a thing, and I mean you can bite _hard_ and even chew those things and they'll just kinda flatten like wood

[@Vishakha_B897]

Putting a stick into frozen treats is TIGHT!!

[@anthonydesimone653]

We need a stick on the flavored frozen drinking stuff

"Oh, I had this other idea where we print jokes on the sticks, so the children have something to read when they're done with the popsicle." "Not a bad idea. Will these be good jokes?" "NO"

[@daniellclary]

"It should splinter easy in the mouths of children." XD Just the way you phrase the truth is just gold.
