Even before posting, we all knew that Izzy would do ANYTHING Blackbeard wanted of him.

Cheers to everyone with OFMD brainrot, heading down the cast's youtube rabbit holes. God save ye, I salute you all.

Bless 🙏 i can already feel the brainrot consuming all rational thought

I appreciate it. Pretty sure I'm too old for fandom now but I'm stuck now.

[@SandraMills]

@@han5234 I feel you. I’m also an old but I haven’t let it stop me yet!

Last week I didn’t even know this man existed and god am I happy I do now!!

[@LaGuerre19]

You NEED to watch "Flight of the Conchords," immediately. Drop everything, unless you're nursing a baby or holding a jar of nitroglycerin, and prepare yourself for joyfulness.

[@Morwenna16]

@@LaGuerre19 damn I’m working right now but I’ll check it out as soon as I can, thanks 😁😁😁

[@schattentaenzerin]

@@Morwenna16 Absolutely watch Flight of the Conchords. And the movie "What we do in the shadows" (Taika in that, too). Their humor is amazing. Hope you'll have fun

[@followingwaves]

also Hunt for the Wilderpeople! (his cameos in Taika's stuff are brilliant)

[@sinepilot]

Agreed, Flight of the Conchords is REQUIRED. And after that, What We Do In The Shadows (Darby isn't in it but Waititi is, and it's also excellent). Basically I'm repeating everything schattentaenzerin said. +1 to them

[@phipres5732]

Stede Bonnet died when he was 30yo?! He did so much in such a short period of time.

[@sandrarivera1262]

I think on his bio is says anywhere between 30-40yrs old

[@gabbyjones3758]

He died about a month after Blackbeard.

[@jellysloth4]

30-40s was the average life expectancy for people back in that time period. Probably less for pirates

[@LuckDanko]

And his "midlife crisis" was in his twenties

[@Tarisaher]

Kiss his pirate boyfriend

[@LaGuerre19]

Good gravy, this man never fails to make me smile

[@pplrgross]

1:57 this laughter oh god, reminded me of this episode with other "aristocrats" and Stede teaching Ed about passive aggression. rhys was pretty awkward after that, too :/

[@janicebelfiore856]

Rhys is frikken cute! Baby blue suit is great! It goes good with his electric copper hair! Rhys so funny and show was so good!

[@silversnackan7037]

Lmao, that was THE most sarcastic "If you've got the moves, show them." I've ever heard.🤣🤣

[@sandrarivera1262]

Mans got killer eyebrow movements

[@sebhatesdbt]

these pirates have a chokehold on me help me

[@mauriced3277]

I too would say yes to everything Taika Waititi says

What has Hollywood done to Rhys’s manhood - he was a great bloke, his humour was fabulous all those years ago…..he was muscular & very good looking. Time he packed up & returned to NZ or Outback Australia - it will make a man of him again. He looks effeminate not the real beaut, clever bloke he used to be. I know he is married with children, but the old Rhys was original & hilarious 🇦🇺
