Yup Gen Z/Alpha def have brain rot if this is what they’re watching on TikTok lol

[@kristenlb360]

Link spontaneously forgetting what kind of game they were playing and being distracted by that thought for the rest of the round was the most relatable thing I've ever seen

[@VegeeMcSalad]

So Link coded

[@ryanphillips2757]

How does Links brain automatically come up with "getch ya sum" for a 3 word holiday expression😂😂 hilarious

[@endeavor1664]

Right?? I was not expecting that at all 😭

[@Nellbae]

"Why this though happens?" 😅😂 This is the most I've ever related to Link. My brain does this every once in a while and its refreshing to know I'm not the only one 😂😂😂

[@alonelydragonn3832]

[@-brownbread]

Shivers down my spine

[@kenlangston3451]

I am with Link on this one. The ones with three or more are a nightmare of visual and aural overstimulation. And this is coming from someone who can watch sporting events on television, my laptop and sometimes even my phone at the same time. Lol

[@ft.meganmccarthy8865]

My boyfriend showed me one of these and it was literally just a podcast with gaming footage at the bottom but I was fighting for my life trying to focus 😂

[@natwhocares]

Holy moly, those videos make my anxiety flare up, it's so crazy to me that someone would go to something of the kind to relax

[@noeldoesthings]

Same, like Link said these are a nightmare

[@amycoon2435]

Same. I got super anxious during this, I had to look away on the last one 😂

[@katw6757]

Same! Just the two videos had my anxiety going up

[@RobCamp-rmc_0]

I’d say they go past anxiety and into anger

[@bananababy605]

Seriously, I learned something about myself today. I did not like this.

[@nautygoesdeep]

Sometimes when Rhett does real well, he hops up and does a single spin behind his chair and sits back down. Rhett gets the zoomies, confirmed.

[@baubles5678]

Adults have been complaining about what new horror is rotting kids’ brains for millennia. The written word, candlelight, theater, radio, rock’n’roll, etc. But gee whiz, this might be doing damage for real. These videos make me want to scream fam

[@BingoClamshell]

This is the extreme version of me trying to explain to people that multitasking isn't a normal trait for most people and they are tricking themselves into thinking they can.

[@cassharrison9865]

Multitasking is not just doing work while listening to music. It's this.

[@kaitlyn.isntreal]

I listened to a guided meditation about the value of stillness right before I turned this on 😭😂

[@assmane999]

Nice little 180 degree turn there

[@beckstairs]

Omg these guys are entering their 50s . Get real ,let’s deal with it . I’m happy they are still around . For people older .

[@SammyHallOfficial]

You might have to watch it 3 more times after this video 🤣

[@37thraven]

You're doin it right Caitlyn They don't call it sludge for no reason

[@ravechef4410]

I felt like I was going to have a stroke by like the 4th video

[@SamuTheFrog]

I felt i was having one

[@Deathcoreqt]

Stevie's little "and I noticed there's another one " to get the rice krispie was pretty adorable ❤

[@christopherb6232]

Literal nightmares from the fingernail one… WHY would you do this to me

[@Stephnooob]

i would like to cease existing after seeing that video

[@berberrie8999]

its a practice nail for learning how to do acrylic nails. it's not a real human finger

[@AnimeZombie1000]

It's that red 40 kicking in, Rhett 💀

“Why this though happens?!” Hahah😂 👏

[@burrr5030]

[@christylehman7274]

Link talking like Fry from Futurama, "Why this though happens?"

[@MrAgent3s]

I’ve watched every GMM video. This was the first one I couldn’t make it through I started getting the biggest headache 😭

[@ToddHandell]

Y'all, Stevie's new bit of going "Hello ____" or "Sup Rizzlers" in todays, that is SENDING me! Its such a cool bit but man, so subtle. LOVE IT!

[@alainawells9235]

It was too good

[@notkatieparry]

This video caused me great anxiety.

[@creamdelacreme]

Then all the kids wonder why they have so much anxiety

[@Stuper033]

This episode's theme hurt my brain in a don't do this again way 😵

[@RandysRides]

I second that

[@Mcdevo]

It’s very funny that Link admits that he was overwhelmed and clueless while watching the video, then still has the nerve to laugh at Rhett’s (correct) answer

[@HexIsme]

They both did better than I did, my 34 year old brain took one look at that clusterfuck and went "Nope " and absorbed exactly nothing while silently screaming for it to end.

[@hannahhill7478]

Rhett walking in a little circle whenever he’s amazed always gets me

[@mattdangerg]

'why this tho happens' is now part of my everyday lexicon

[@brograb898]

I agree with Link-“Why this, though, happens?”

[@cly_]

Stevie: "In the keyboard video, which nail was-" Rhett: "Right ring finger, lower cuticle, slight chip, which means it was C!" Link: "There was a keyboard?"

[@beautifullyjess]

I'm disassociating after there are more than 2 videos. I can't handle the stimulation after that 😮

[@kevinmeeks5169]

Probably the most anxiety inducing episode in recent memory

[@jasonlyons4986]

Link giving his best Kevin Malone impression. "Why say lot word when few word do trick." "Why this though happens."

[@lydiabellson]

Omg Nicole coming in with those Spice Krispie treats and offering reassurance was the most calming part of this episode

[@Noelia-Nedds-You]

Okay rizzlers was crazy .

[@meganguest]

how does rhett consistently acquire insane mental powers every time he has a sugar rush

[@carella211]

I... just dont understand the allure of Tik Tok.... at all. LOL.

[@_sch_eme_]

These videos are just part of a part of the tik tok universe, to be fair tho.. There are millions of content of some sort of quality depending on what you like. That's the thing, the algorithm is so sensitive it keeps showing you videos you keep watching. If you immediately stop videos you don't wanna watch, and actively tell the thing you are not interested, and on the contrary, you fully watch and like and comment on content you are interested in, it shows you that and similar. So. It can be good if you enjoy good content.

[@whollitrolli]

​@BillieMariKate we all know how it works we just don't like it

[@_sch_eme_]

@@whollitrolli not all of you. Specially if you are basing your knowledge on these videos. This is not the whole of tiktok that's all I'm saying.

I liked when Vsauce said "no, sludge content doesn’t affect our brains, because people used to birdwatch while talking to someone"

[@zerocraic3966]

Is this a real opinion? Because you actually dont talk when you’re birdwatching this is a wild choice of analogy
