Amanda still crying in the background while Tommy and Courtney were losing it took me out

[@squintyourears]

Ahh, that wrecked me too, my neighbours are probably like wtf is so funny at 4am

[@winst7765]

It was beautiful

[@synthwave_4207]

I laughed til I cried when she gagged.

[@adviceforthesoul3751]

Well done Amanda. I lost it.

[@joethfc3]

Where did it take you out to? Applebee's? I LOVE that place! When you're there, you're their family too! That's their moto

[@winniethebish2893]

I love when the bits are so funny you can hear Shayne in the audience. He’s the new Sarah laughing in the background

[@justinperez977]

Aw man that makes me miss Sarah 🥲

[@kierapinnock3977]

All I hear is garret🤣

[@Mal1ily]

You just made me miss Sarah even more😭😭

[@georgedoty-williams2085]

Garrett is the most audible one, I couldn't perceive Shayne today

[@jimyvenecadion5003]

I miss Sarah 😭😭😭

[@evie1919]

okay Amanda has a gift. Tommy's spit take was the realest I have ever witnessed on this channel. How on earth does she come up with this stuff i mean jesus

[@giftbox-e]

I KNOW RIGHT??!?! I died on that, I might take that for some jokes sometimes lol

[@itsyaboymarkimoo2630]

I've been laughing at that bit for like 5 minutes straight and its funnier when I rewind it 💀💀💀

[@kristincondupa5679]

I love them bringing in “new” talent into TNTL because I feel like some of the regulars get burnt out.

[@gskate117]

I've come back to this video like 4 time. What a gem

[@Yammenkow]

She also broke keith with just counting and a face at 8:15 . Incredible

[@sidviscus]

I'm genuinely glad that Amanda is on more TNTL episodes. She's one of the most naturally funny people ever.

[@amysand5400]

tbf, she’s actually a very talented and trained improv actor. she’s probably worked very hard to be as funny as she is and make it seem so easy

[@evadiva8484]

So, so, so true

[@167ray]

I love that Tommy seemed legitimately horrified that he just spat in Courtney's face, meanwhile she's just losing her shit laughing haha

[@Ferrilsblood]

what got me was how Courtney's face was stuck between being on the verge of bursting out laughing and complete and utter shock at being water shot XD

[@bethanycampione3558]

I had a literal identical situation with a friend of mine. She made me laugh and I accidentally spit in her face. I then proceeded to apologize profusely while she is just losing her freaking mind! XD

[@Realmstalker546]

I thought the same, Tommy spit in Courtney's face and her first reaction was laugh hysterically. Her reaction was the biggest highlight of this show.

[@TallGermanGuy]

The final spit was legit so funny,so much chaos, Amanda still crying, Tommy in absolute shock and Courtney dying legit peak

[@AberD_]

Literally, Amanda just adding “😭i’m sorry, i’m so sorry😭” is peak drunk girl needs to go the F home. Hahah

[@nicholaslandry6367]

Plus her and tommy in pink cowboy hats really selling the vibe

[@lStr1ker50l]

Covid guidelines be freakin 😂

[@Amaterasu2511]

I wanna correct your spelling with "peak" but its correct. Kourtney couldn't peak anymore if she tried.

[@LaterTater8]

I choked on my Doritos during this, and Courtney still managed to hold it together better than I did initially 🤣

[@era_s]

Every time Tommy emerges from the back looking lost and confused you know it's gonna be a good scene.

[@HeyheyandAwesomedudeutbegaming]

I love how even though Shayne isn’t participating his laugh is still so distinct

[@1aliciacoral]

I think Courtney bailing on her bits when she realizes they're not gonna laugh is the most hilarious part

[@mikemartin3355]

channeling her inner Noah lol

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

She’s the only one I don’t find funny

[@singactjoke5671]

COURTNEY’S TAKE ON “M’LADY” JOKES COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER W THE SHREK REFERENCE OMG

[@SkarlettSkyy]

The immediate spit take as soon as Courtney says "I'm Lord Farquad" had me lmao

[@violetjade64]

it was actually "m'lord farquaad"

[@Semiprosocks]

Amanda can pull off the most exaggerated facial expressions and it kills me 😂

[@notavampire_]

I feel like we’re not talking ab the “post-therapy, medicated clown posse” enough that was HILARIOUS

[@miapavon8213]

i genuinely laughed outloud

[@moocow17]

'i figured out how magnets work' holy shit that was good. i cant believe thats an actual line of a song

[@amiri3276]

what was it in reference to?

[@notavampire_]

@@amiri3276 Its an Insane Clown Posse reference, they’re musicians :)

[@briabecker]

I loved that bit! They’re my favourite band haha 😂

[@dianalopes4624]

Amanda has been the best addition to try not to laugh! She is hilarious

[@Maelstrom01]

I was going to comment this as well, she's been great!

[@scottjcaldwell]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@ivyrutledge9236]

Oh 1,000%!!!

[@Anthro777]

She is my fave now! And I was super skeptical about "the new girl" in her first episode but she won me over immediately!

[@NIX4K]

I think it would be cool to see a Try Not To Laugh: Elimination style thing, where you get ALOT of people (all the cast members, call in multiple guests), and it starts off with huge rounds of like 8 people doing skits. and If you laugh three times, you're eliminated. And the person who has the last life wins. I dunno if something like this has already been done, but I think it would be kinda sick.

[@stormhunter2627]

this would be such a cool idea for the 100th episode! because it sounds like an extra-long one, lots of editing and filming time! i would love to see this anytime, i just think they would want to go all-out for the 100th!

[@ReincarnatedGhost1]

Probably breaking their budget but we’ll see. It’s a cool idea.

[@Starry_j3lly]

Honestly that would be an awesome idea, sadly I dont know if they’ll be able to do it because of the Covid guide lines😢

[@AlexRejba]

They did this in the past. Several cast members sit in a circle, and if you laugh 3 times - you're out.

[@petrichoranddreams2276]

AMANDA GAGGING AFTER CRYING IS GONNA BE ICONIC FOREVER 🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣

[@fuzzymilk]

Amanda is just so damn funny every single time, I'm so happy she decided to do more than sketches

[@maepilapil6452]

Tommy spitting directly on Courtney's face is the best thing I've seen in years.

[@Kavriel]

She said "I've been reborn" lmao

[@apkphantom2122]

The Tommy simps are mad jealous RN

[@britishsecondarylife7548]

Why

[@pvic6959]

@@apkphantom2122 what if you simp for both of them :o im not even attracted to male bodies but tommy as a person makes me very happy lol

[@Ohmargod]

@@pvic6959 Tommy is one of the most handsome and charismatic guys I’ve ever seen!

[@joaopedroathayde757]

amanda is so convincing when she gags it's hilarious

[@Inlife33]

Seeing Courtney doing her bit with her little puppet monkey all the time and laughing so much because she finds it so funny is the most wholesome thing. Plus it’s genuinely funny it always cracks me up

[@erinblais7437]

Garrett is both the director and assistant director of this video. GARRETT CAN DO ANYTHING AND I'M HERE FOR IT. Multi tasking King

[@desdemonathomas511]

I love that we can hear him laugh too on these tntl (‘:

[@spotonstupid]

Multi-Task King.

[@secretforreddit]

And he's the producer, too! A triple threat!

[@christopherscotts5797]

And he can buy you bobba anytime

[@emilystark8293]

Group projects be like

[@enriquepardo-miranda2192]

I want to see more Tommy and Amanda!

[@shafnur9323]

Vouchhhhhhhh

[@Shabba6884]

Amanda needs to do her Karen bit in a fashion show setting with Tommy as Tarsha Pargas. I've been waiting for some more Tarsha in my life :)

[@Dyundu]

Same

[@alectucker7815]

9:00 if you combine Damien and Tommy’s shirts, you get Amanda’s

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Damien: We did the duel thing like a year ago Me: ages Courtney: I think like TWO years ago Me: *ages even more* Glad it's back...and Amanda absolutely killed it

[@madie9640]

I feel like Damien's clown bit is an instant classic. A newly properly-medicated, heavily therapized millennial clown really does it for me.

[@eXponentia]

It's an Insane Clown Posse joke in case you weren't aware.

[@timeluster]

You know Amanda is good when she gets Shayne to laugh like it was a Shayne joke. Love you all!

[@SociableAlarm]

Amandas about to throw up bit is one of my faves every time.

[@2chaskell]

8:52 oh my god I spent literally 3 min laughing hysterically from damians goofy “avada kadavra” if I were on the set I would hav even turning red 🤣

[@andycortez69]

Courtney busting out laughing after Tommy spit all over her had me dying 😂

[@calijosephine8972]

Courtney and the monkey bit is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at one of these videos!! She’s so funny!

[@LukeJLB]

But boy did the closed captions miss the mark on that one holy shit

[@Ace_with_cake]

@@LukeJLB Ooh I was watching without hearing aids (deaf). Was CC messed up during the monkey bit?

[@pipermenerndez5652]

@@Ace_with_cake Yes it was supposed to be “nut” lol

[@robbie5181]

Really? Thats interesting, I only like her pop culture ones but they never seem to get laughs. The weird sounds bit is awful to me but shows how great the show is for keeping diff people for diff tastes :)

[@mitchellhuisman8626]

The Duel format is definitely a fun twist to the fan favorite. Literally everyone is hysterical in their own way. Keep the content coming - we all appreciate you!

[@Pixelhurricane]

In the entirety of try not to laugh Amanda in the last round was the **only** time I have been brought to tears in laughter! Truly raising the game

[@navithesquirrel]

Amanda is such a riot. Best new cast member ever.

[@Thomas-hh2yu]

"I did figure out how magnets work and frankly I'm doing pretty good" such a good joke

[@stephenbarringer235]

Mad respect to Courtney's roar of "WORTH IT!!!" at the end. True showmanship.

[@kendahlsellers2812]

Amanda has easily become one of the funniest people on TNL, I love her as an addition!

[@pokepackdave2159]

Absolutely love the duel! How about a "Pause/ Tag Team" Try Not To Laugh? One person comes out to perform their bit. 10 seconds into their bit, the next person yells "pause" then that person has to try and come in and finish the bit. Kepp up the great work :)

[@aldrichemrys]

Sounds like "Change" from Markiplier, Bob, Wade, Tyler, and Ethan.

[@fynntasticmovienight]

this was such a funny group, imagine if jackie and shayne were in it too lmaoo the characters would go crazy

[@hipplow]

only at 0:40 and already crying at “pokin’ knees” and amanda’s confusion from it

[@starchilde_]

DAMIEN JUST MADE MY DAY- I was not ready for "non-binary friends" in such a joyful tone and it gave me the biggest smile today! Thank you!!

[@simplefishinguy6816]

This was great haha. My face hurts from smiling and laughing at Amanda's last bit and the reactions. I also love this style of tntl.

[@MrAlternitive]

Courtney's outrage at them was so good. I full heartedly felt that. How could you not laugh.

[@TheClarkified]

Amanda's rodeo bit at the end might be the funniest thing I've ever seen in this show. So well timed.

[@Toxic_Waste92]

4:10 this was absolutely fantastic. Courtney killed it!
