I love how they treat Ricky like the favorite child between Steve and Ricky Lmao

[@D_Dizzy_]

You kinda bring out the best of Shane and I. You're like our muse" "I'm kinda like your stepchild" *Steven, somewhere watching this, seething and plotting his revenge on Ricky*

[@johnnyshortfor]

Ricky’s delighted clap and glance at Shane and Ryan when they all get points is precious

16:46 is Shane talking about the Shinee's Key clown meme!?CROSSOVER!

[@itsfreerealestate5289]

15:14 we started using the phrase "lil meow meow" to describe one of bts members Yonngi because he resembles a cat also he is the type that doesnt like to show his emotions that much therefore the use of "my poor lil meow meow" to describe a villan that you cant hate kind of fitted

[@frenchbaguetteoui]

Ricky doesn't realise he's the true winner because the less you know about this shit the better. Also, I'm glad Ricky is getting his own show. He seems like a lovely person.

[@lyngrimstad13]

Are you glad he's getting his own show? Cause I think ya might've forgotten a word, Ricky.

I’m Ryan’s age and got 7, but honestly I respect the hell out of Ricky for not being terminally online.

[@alexm6974]

I AM SO HAPPY THEY LEFT BUZZFEED!! I finally finished all the unsolved content this afternoon and searched to see if they quit or were making content elsewhere- I couldn't be happier for them. They are far too talented to be hitched to a failing brand and I am very excited to start exploring their new channel. Looking forward to new spooky content from two different opinions~

[@kafalotofeao462]

I remember when old people would ask me what "BAE" meant, and I'd snobbishly impart knowledge on their wrinkly old brains. Now, this video makes me feel like I graduated _and_ retired at the same time. We're getting old boys 🥂

"Material gorl" has also started being used for someone unexpectedly slaying an outfit or something, or just being confidently chaotic if used with the "MATERIAL GWORL" tiktok sound 😂

[@Patrrrick]

I'd just like to mention that I immediately gasped when I saw Ryan's hair. It looks so good, it looks so fluffy and soft, I would absolutely pet it. 10/10 hair

[@ptvgender]

i appreciate yall having captions on your vids when they go up. it's really helpful for me as i have APD but also for deaf/HOH people :)

[@mattsaracen7]

What's APD? :)

[@mothma_am]

@@mattsaracen7 could be wrong but I believe it's audio processing disorder! it means you have trouble taking in verbal information. it's especially common with autism and adhd

[@celticcountrylover]

Loved watching Ricky going from looking mildly panicked about Ryan and Shane dunking on Steven to dunking on him himself. XD

Ricky is gonna mysteriously disappear and steven is gonna be suspiciously okay with it, isn't he?

just gonna say this before i watch the video, this is exactly what ive been looking for. i spend so much time on the internet and i have no idea what half of the words people come up with mean (im also still learning english, but i think i understand enough for this)

halfway through. would love to see them try to figure out what the hell ‘skrunkly’ means because as a gen zer i use that word just abt every single day to describe lord of things
