    Rhett and Link: Let's make a work of art about love and creation and collaboration and the complex interplay between two human souls and the creative process.
    Rhett and Link: But also it's hilarious.
    Rhett and Link: And there's music.
    Rhett and Link: And we dig a hole. A medium-sized hole.

      You're right. Most people focus on their goal they set out to achieve in life without thinking of the consequences of their actions on others and the environment. The pile is just as important as the hole because it's the consequences of their actions and sometimes those consequences are more relevant over time than the actual hole. This is the epitome of "we were focusing on how to do it that we forgot if we should".

    I love the nuance of how the production quality gradually increases as the plot thickens. It starts out with what seems like a casual vlog; a couple of guys just goofing around, nothing too fancy. Then as they start digging, the cinematography becomes increasingly legit. Their quest for a truly medium-sized hole becomes the most important thing in the entire world. I went into this with low expectations, but I'm truly blown away by the amount of work that went into this. Bravo!

      I was so glad I was not the only one thinking to my self I love these men and there efforts so much I will watch them debate and discuss how to dig a hole then dig said hole , go into why and how and what went wrong with then medium size hole that lead to the big hole debacle/ what’s a medium size hole look like ? Damn man I may just get up and go outside and dig me a hole and ponder the meaning of the size of it - and ask my neighbors if they’ve seen GMM or Rhett and links channels share and spread some love and laughs by digging a medium size hole - it’s been an awesome morning so far 🌞🌞 in sunny warm 80* Florida

It’s hard to describe. It’s so purely Rhett and link. No one else on the face of the internet is bringing such depth and art to comedy. And as an artist, drawing the fine art of cinematography and music into a comedy sketch in this way is new and breathtaking.

    This kinda takes me back to their old videos, like Finding Ms Locklear. And this is what I love about Joel Haver's work... Just pure creativity.
    I thought the ending of this one was weird and didn't care for it. I think a lot of Joel's stuff is weird. But who cares... I still get such joy and inspiration from seeing someone just be creative and not worry so much about pleasing others.
    Also, serendipitously, I'd planned a trip with my younger 2 sons out to the Monahans Sand dunes weeks before this came out. Then when my kids watched this, they got all excited about digging a hole out there lol. So we basically drove 5 hours to go dig a hole in the desert and we had a great time!
