[@a1exxxotl]

Shane and Ryan progressively going from enemies to an old married couple is exactly what I needed today

[@poppyonline4034]

I mean Shane was constantly a sweetie to Ryan even from the beginning. Ryan was the psychopath 😂

[@a1exxxotl]

@@poppyonline4034Haha very true!!

[@bob8675309666]

@@poppyonline4034 Yeah that's pretty much married life.

[@Luna_zk]

best use of enemies to lovers trope ive ever seen

[@jocosesonata]

Someone install a mod where Ryan's 1-block tall and Shane's 3-blocks tall. For lore accuracy.

[@neonblkhole]

mini zombie ryan

[@EbbermanEmily]

Ryan thinking the turtle he's punching is just really strong as he drowns himself is so funny 😭

[@Seansyoutubehandle]

“You can see why I would spend an entire summer doing this and not going out at all right?” Never related to anything more Shane damn

[@taliag09]

Yeah that hit me in the core

"once I find some iron we're gonna blow this thing wide open" - shane and various bronze age civilizations

[@nevaehbraun4377]

As a history major i can confirm this is exactly what the mainland greeks said to the Mycenaean kingdoms before they tossed out their kings.

[@EliasClatter]

That was such a great history lover comment.

[@coasterexplosion4428]

I somehow managed to read this comment right as the real moment in the video occurred and it melted my brain

[@sapphireguts]

love this lololol

[@floralafterdark]

shane at 26:08 being like “i wanted you to do these things but you’re having fun and exploring the game in a way that’s healthy” makes me think he’d kill it as a preschool teacher

[@poppyonline4034]

Yes!!

[@kafyg5599]

That’s so true! I thought it was so kind of him to react like that as a friend (esp since he’s passionate ab Minecraft) but you’re so right, anyone would benefit from this positive energy

[@madeniquevanwyk]

Dude this is not the first instance of Shane being grade a preschool beef his entire personality is basically made for it

[@madeniquevanwyk]

Sorry i sounded kinda aggressive but this was a very loud agree ajdvjsns

[@jobeiden]

i read this as "kill a preschool teacher"

[@bibie688]

This should definitely be a series, not only were they engaged and enjoying themselves, but it'd be cool to see them progress in the game, like with building upon their home, mining new items, crafting, and all the other amazing stuff from playing minecraft

[@goeticfolklore]

this but with a combo of them drinking spirits wld be golden

[@_madikorn_]

I had forgotten how fun it is to watch people ploay minecraft and actually be new to it. Who knew we'd be here 13 years later.

[@GoodnessGreycious0]

Ryan giggling to himself while everybody pleads with him not to destroy the house is the epitome of the “nasty man” that Shane calls him lol

[@garrettpearson8682]

He's in Minecraft for two seconds and he immediately starts grieving. 🤣

[@poppyonline4034]

@@garrettpearson8682what is this grieving? He’s straight up murdering😅

[@One-EyedReaper]

​@@poppyonline4034I think he meant griefing

Ikr!!

[@presleyharriger9508]

Shane killed the frog within like a few minutes 😂

[@Thelonerst0ner]

“We want more! We want more!” The crowd chants

[@captquesadilla]

Shane hyping Ryan up when he is chopping down a tree, because he wants to share something he loves. …And Ryan deciding to be an absolute menace.

[@thursdaysdaughter]

Look if Shane just wants to start a Minecraft series with occasional guest stars while he just peacefully exists - I WILL WATCH IT. Please and thank you.

[@arturpequeno806]

YES! Abso-goddamn-LUTELY! I'd watch 200h of it easily 😆😆😆

[@woodlandelf8109]

I definitely want them to make another episode playing Minecraft

[@bethaneegraver749]

Yes please!

[@phamiru]

Yes please

[@ebrach121]

Yes!!

[@CATdancecovers]

the contrast between Shane's wholesomeness and Ryan being an absolute fucking menace is amazing

[@rgoodfellow]

It’s so opposite of how they started ghost hunting as ghoul boys.

[@CATdancecovers]

@@rgoodfellow oh how the turntables

[@cassdun619]

They have a saying for these two. "The shorter you are, the closer to hell you are." 😂😂 Which works perfectly as Ryan fights like a gremlin on the ground, Shane is laughing and enjoying the night in the sky 😂

[@etashasanghrajka3069]

shane leaving a poppy for ryan along with weapons WAS SO WHOLESOME 😭😭

[@meganwantstea]

Shane: “what are you doing up there?” Ryan, whistfully: “I don’t know” 39:11

[@StinkyLilGuy420]

i’m actually begging y’all to make this a series as someone who plays minecraft for years it’s fun to see it through fresh eyes

[@unemployedphilosopher5072]

Yeah wait until they find out about shields!

[@jennanigon3761]

Danny Gonzalez streamed himself playing minecraft for the first time! He edited them down to watch on his game channel. It is so fun watching people learn it from the ground up

[@vicfern25]

like the video so they make more episodes

[@Clocks_DSP]

I love that they are discovering things for the first time!

[@HabitualParadox]

yess I'd love to see a series!

[@Raspberrysorbaet]

I love how quickly Ryan starts to treat Shane like his minecraft tradwife

[@NightQueen01]

Funny, but I'm not so sure Trad wives know how to mine. 😄

[@poppyonline4034]

“Mind your bubbles.” Shane is so sweet and thoughtful 😊❤

[@novakish1516]

vote that this is the title of Shane’s minecraft series 🤣

[@EmpressGen]

"Baby, I'm just craftin." My new motto 😄

[@rxpt0rs]

Ryan: "What's the point of this game?" Shane: "To live."

[@Ash_town]

Such a great line and perfectly describes the game

[@yaboi8947]

Proceeds to get killed over and over

[@poppyonline4034]

Beautiful reply

[@afamoore]

NGL I'd watch 1000 episodes of 'thrivin' mode' with Shane and Ryan just striving for thriving in Minecraft.

[@poppyonline4034]

Me too!

Saaaaaaame

I would watch an entire season of this. I think this is the most fun I've had watching you guys.

[@poppyonline4034]

I agree. I loved this!!

[@Chubby_Runs]

I’m perfectly okay with Survival Mode becoming a Minecraft series, especially after this episode

[@stormylemon]

"nO don't die you have all the shit" sums up minecraft pretty well in one sentence

[@poppyonline4034]

Lmao I thought the same thing. Like Ryan caught on to that aspect real quick 😂

[@singingchristian]

Please make one thousand episodes of this. You should make it it’s own series.

[@monikarennick23]

I want it so bad

[@Wabby_]

I BEG!! A series would be amazing!

[@aarushiyadav7101]

I'm sick and this nearly one-hour video managed to make me feel a bit better. Should totally be a series!

[@TheMikedomann]

I love the immediate dynamic formed between their playstyles. Shane, builder, crafting, the brains. Ryan, instantaneously throws hands with literally every living (and often non living) thing within his range of vision, tears cows apart with his bare hands and consumes their uncooked flesh, general barbarian.

[@poppyonline4034]

Shane being so innocent and not getting Ryan’s joke about a husband getting mad at his wives spending habits is honestly adorable and refreshing.

[@jamesng.6387]

wait I don't get it either pls fskjdfhsdjkfhks

Ryan deciding to 1v1 a zombie with half a heart is so funny

Minecraft Tips for the Ghoul Boys! (I love this video, and I hope you guys play some more! Full Minecraft season!

[@byakuranbel6994]

Yeah, i never understood why streamers and youtubers dont use the recipe book. Also. When you hit the mob during a jump, it does more damage

[@o.cody02]

@@byakuranbel6994 Yeah, idk! Maybe they feel like it's cheating? I think the whole concept of cheating or playing games "the right way" is a little silly tbh. You're playing to have fun, and if "cheating" makes it more fun for you, then go for it!!

[@Claire-hv4vq]

@@o.cody02I think it’s because the recipe book wasn’t always in the game, so it feels more nostalgic to play without it maybe?

[@o.cody02]

@Claire-hv4vq that's a good point too! :)

[@calliope720]

This is the best. Shane is a sweet, patient angel. Ryan is the funniest kind of little chaos bastard. Their domesticity in a harsh, blocky world warms the heart. 11/10, would watch 1,000 hours of this.

[@SlytherinMinecrafterGhostHydra]

Me too, and I know their pain, I've started playing minecraft since it launched in 2011, so I'm basically a pro and also a pro builder

"Two husband building a house, getting shot by skeletons in our living room." 🤣🤣🤣

PLEASE make this a series with 1000 episodes i am so invested in ryan learning minecraft in his own special way

[@mayramartinez4872]

its ridiculously wholesome how excited shane is to play minecraft with ryan, this is definitely a new comfort video 🥹🫶🏻

[@astromaud5856]

Shane: "We need wood" Ryan: "But i'm not even aroused.."

[@josefinamercuri1421]

I would honestly watch HOURS of this. the raw reactions of Ryan doing whatever he wants while Shane tries to have everything under control. priceless

[@poppyonline4034]

Shane was pretty lax about it if you ask me.

[@itsmrbigsmoke862]

I love how ryan was just in a childlike state for most of the time. He was looking around and touching everything while going "What is this..?"

[@StevesCreative]

Shane jokes about making this a series, but I would be SO into that lol

[@mars9880]

This was actually really sweet can we get like 20 more eps

I am so extremely here for Survival Mode focusing on Minecraft, or for Shane to have a Minecraft specific series, OR for Shane having a cozy game version of Survival Mode (Cozy Mode?) where he introduces people to various cozy games.

[@ValeriVassilev]

"Oh, he's fighting me back" when he is drowning killed me 😂

[@cvd1991]

you can tell ryan is the type of minecraft player who you cannot travel with because he would get distracted and you'd lose him every 2 minutes. this video is giving me the most anxiety yet thank you ryan

this episode felt soooo peaceful for some reason i am pleasantly perplexed. just shane mining and ryan trying to survive in the wild while being fascinated by the wild things at the same time 😭 THE FULL MINECRAFT SEASON IS A NEED

[@nerdypeachmango]

I hope they continue a minecraft series! it reminds me of the early yogscast days and that blew up tremendously... I would watch shane and ryan play without any video editing, long silences and all. It's so fun to watch them struggle lol.

[@quinnkeller5170]

I don’t know that a full series of this would be practical, but would LOVE to see some Ryan and Shane Minecraft streams!!!! Less work for the editors and more fun for people who just like chill gameplay and silly banter.

This is a great idea!!

[@aftonstjames]

The close up on the sun and Shane saying “oh god” had me 😂

[@danielyates6742]

'I didn't know he could shoot through windows!' Probably because it was less of a window and more of a hole in the wall
