@@Michaela_ZCI was going to write a comment about how Zac also makes a great foil for Brennan but ended up realizing that I could say the same thing about so many of the Dropouts.

@@Michaela_ZC "Emily is one of the best D&D players in the world. Endlessly creative, so fun to play with. She was also sent from Hell to kill me." -B.L. Mulligan
my favorite part of this game was ally trying to be as brennan-plausible as possible at the start before fully committing to making the real brennan mad instead
I think not only should Rekha have won for figuring out everybody SO fast but her table jokes were absolutely on point! "Ever have a one night stand with one night stand?" is an S tier joke 😁
she would have had a better chance of winning if she removed katie instead of brennan. sure brennan is very competitive but katie was her closest competition, and brennan wasn't guaranteed to figure it out. bad play lead to her downfall.
I think Rekha made a great point though - all she knew is she was the only player who guessed everyone right. She didn't know how many Katie had right/wrong, much less that she was _so_ close. (Or that the tiebreaker would be so stupid, sorry.) Which is a big tick in the "boot Brennan" column imo. I think bc we knew, as the audience, how close it was, we are accidentally biased since we knew what Rekha didn't
The moment Brennan started that whole monologue I thought "Please don't send this. That's such a Brennan response. They'll know immediately." And what do you know.
i once saw someone speculate that he sent that to katie to give himself away, earning katie one more correct guess and increasing her chances of winning over rekha, who had just gotten brennan out of the competition. and frankly i believe it
@@emma-di5ly It makes me sad because alot of Old Collegehumor fans said how much it reminded of Tim and Eric but I guess he really is just hard to work with
@@Silenceisrecording104In the BTS in Dropout, the reason Sam gives for not having the Ratfish at the table is that they felt the final shot’s of the season should just be the cast; I totes believe that.
granma sweetie was Robbed, beardsley was excellent but zac was impeccable. 'runnin' 'says who' 'I have 50 thousand dollars and more in the ground' 'you might be my grandson mason if...' 'idiot' getting absolutely everyone with the whoopee cushion, iconic shit
Tbf she set herself up for failure by not choosing to eliminate Katie who was her biggest competition. Later, Brennan, who got eliminated by Rekha, got revenge by doing his classic monologue bit to Katie therefore revealing himself. By the end of that round, Katie was able to correctly guess everyone
@@CalmClamFamthat’s what I thought too, but Brennan couldn’t have been taking revenge because he didn’t know at the time which player was Katie! It was just a coincidence.
I think they would’ve gotten it if not for the fact that 2 people guessed perfectly. They said in the BTS episode that the tiebreaker was a last-minute fix.
Ratfish was one of my favorite things Dropout has ever done, but it makes me so fucking infuriated that Zac was an unstoppable comedy machine and Eric did not give one single shit about him
They wound up using it as a tiebreaker, instead of the intended purpose, because they didn’t anticipate two people getting perfect scores. Still sad about it, though.
@@atlander4204 The tiebreaker was the best artwork, the best character award was a separate thing. In terms of the actual game, Zac was the first one out so he couldn't have won that regardless. Definitely robbed for best character though, I didn't even think Brennan (the character) was that funny.
@@mrtuxedo1467 the funniest (and most telling) thing to me is that the character Brennan is only funny as a parody of the real Brennan who we all know. The ratfish had no context of who Brennan was and almost none of the jokes would make sense to him; and picked him as the funniest character. He picked Brennan because haha random funny ...
Having never watched the Circle, I thought the "look super fucking hot walking down a hallway" bit in the trailer meant that this episode was gonna be a heist
Zac is on a different level. I loved seeing how funny everyone thought he was, without knowing that it was him. I felt like Ally should’ve known just based on how funny they found Granma 😂
I think it's telling that the Ratfish themself doesn't feature in "favorite moments". By far the weakest part of the show, but it was elevated by the seven cast members having an amazing time together.
It's a shame these episodes are rated so low on IMDb (7.9 & 6.0 respectively, compared to the >8.8 of the rest of season 6). The first episode was especially hilarious and fresh. But I guess I can agree that Part 2 loses the momentum and novelty, and the fact that they don't even reveal Eric to the rest of the cast is a bizarre choice too. Still, a very fun season finale
I loved the entire cast, but every time it cut to Eric I just didn't laugh. He wasn't funny to me, and I also had no idea who he was until I looked it up. The fact that he was also solely picking the winners sucked, I don't know if it's the way it was edited, but the people chosen didn't reflect who was funniest etc to me. But I get that we as the audience saw way more to judge from than just the group chat, so maybe that made the difference? Also, Rekha should have gotten something for getting everyone right first regardless of winning. The lack of reveal at the end also really killed the momentum for me, like what happened there? Just a weird couple of eps despite the god tier concept
@@call-rickeyIt was actually said by Sam that he wanted the end table to only be the main cast, i suppose to make it more intimate? But it was intentional to not have Eric be revealed
@@langiit Personally I don't buy it. I get the vibe that either something happened that made them just not want Eric at the reveal or Eric didn't want to be there. It just makes zero sense from a production perspective to pay for a well respected comedy actor/writer to come on your show and not have him ever interact in person with any of the Dropout cast. All that being said, I think the episode itself gets too much hate because I was thoroughly entertained the entire time
@@nukeninmgt1504 It wasn't just the closer of the two episodes - it was the season finale. That roundtable was a celebration of a whole season of going above and beyond, so I get why Sam wanted it to be just them. And also, it's Game Changer... fucking with the cast and not having them know who the Ratfish was until they get to see the episodes is such a bit.
The reveal of the Ratfish in ep 1 did nothing for me cause I never watched Tim and Eric. My reaction was "who the hell is this". And then he wasn't funny. Loved everything else about the episodes
I did watch Tim and Eric (admittedly, because of a friend) and I still hadn't even realized it was that Eric until talking to another friend and finally looking up his name. lmao. It's never been my humor type, and it doesn't really feel like the humor type that fit the rest of the cast and this format either. But all the castmates were so on top of their game, and I loved seeing the love and admiration for all of their humor language!
He just wasn’t quite the fit for the show. A shame because I love Tim and Eric a ton, and their humour is just terrific, it just doesn’t quite gel in this format.
I’ve never really understood that kind of humor. It’s so high risk mid reward. Some people find it funny, but also some people find it super uncomfortable. Especially today when some of the biggest names in that style humor have gone off the deep end in being problematic.
It's just a problem that the game relies on knowing each others personalities and then they brought in someone who (i think?) never met any of them before. Someone like BDG or SungWon Cho, maybe even a McElroy brother, could've done great in that position since they all have a little overlap. It's the complete disconnect between the Tim and Eric fanbase and the Dropout fambase that made it fall flat.
The fact that there are barely any Ratfish in this video, shows how badly they failed. If they ever do a game samer, hope they tweak it, maybe have multiple people handling that account so people are tricked.
They need to do it with the same premise but really it’s 1 person playing it normally and another person playing 8 other people while having a hidden cam on the one out of the know and fucking around with that 1 person
The thing I most liken the ratfish himself to is that one new person joining a cards against humanity game in a friend group that all get each other’s humor and mesh really well, and then it gets to his turn to judge and he doesn’t understand ANY of the actual jokes, reads them out awkwardly without laughing, then gets to something in the general spirit of that TikTok of the pumpkin spice cream cheese and laughs genuinely hard, notices no one’s laughing, and makes the room have to pity laugh with him like they’re at a pizza party their toxic boss threw until he picks it and moves on. You don’t even know him well enough to know if he’s just not suited for this game, or this entire friend group. Probably both. Energy of a guy who would make a sexist joke and then go “what??? It’s _funny”_ until people get too tired of his posturing and just try to ignore him.
Jess and Zac's characters were absolutely my favorites, they were so hilarious. Jess's character intro made me crack up and her jokes for the stand-up challenge were actually really good while staying in character. and graNma sWeetie coming in for the heckle was like the cherry on top.
There's also only so many times they could do it before everyone would know each other's tells. I could see, if budget were no object, a sequel a couple seasons down the road, but that's about all they could do without making it less special.
@@Arkatox Ah, yeah that is fair. I was thinking for a show idea that it'd be five an episode (all Dropout cast, no random celebrities) and to just last the longest without being caught by a majority of your group (everyone gets one guess a round or something). Problem is like you said, group knows each other enough and it instead becomes who do they want to vote out first rather than an actual detective's game.
What i love about ratfish is just how unique every single character is and how funny the ideas are. Like, a side table?? thats peak comedy. Brennan, the sophisticated monologuer? Of course hes A Bug With A Big Ass
i loved this so much but i wish there was another twist where sam was almost being played by someone else and the final win determiner was identifying who sam really is
I’m very much considering a Dropout subscription after this and all the shorts that they’ve posted. I just need more granma sweetie in my life And I need this to be a show not a one-off thing, please!
Dude do it. Their new season of Dimension 20 (their ttrpg series) is fucking amazing. Never Stop Blowing Up, check it out, it’s got more Rekha and Ally and Brennan is the DM. Zac is on other seasons of Dimension 20 and he is equally as funny and unhinged in his roleplay characters.
It's the most bang for buck I get out of any of my streaming services. Also Dropout is very password sharing-friendly so if you can't do $6/month you can always split it with a friend.
@@igotbeans recently got some shorts recommended from their D20 Questing Queens campaign and that sealed the deal for me. Waiting for my next paycheck and then having a very fun week watching every single thing I remember from every RUclips short! Ooopoo very excited Do you recommend watching them on the website or using the app? I saw some comments about how one might be better than the other
I had this playing in the background and then I heard my name when they started talking about grandson Mason and the way I turned, around so fast I gave myself whiplash😂
I loved the vibe of this show! Though it did kinda flounder towards the end... I feel like they shouldn't have had a celebrity guest, personally. Maybe someone from the office or another smaller online comedian that they know? Just to muddy the waters a bit? Still, I hope we get to see Ratfish again!!
It needed to be someone that the cast didn’t know very well, so another cast member wouldn’t have worked. But maybe they could’ve gotten someone more generally well known or something. I’ve seen a lot of people saying it should’ve been Robert Reich, and that would’ve been funny
@tbow13gbr22 That would be funny! I feel like their guest is well known, since he is a famous comedian, but probably not to Dropout's main audience. I saw someone in a RUclips Shorts comment say that he would be someone that the Dropout cast would know, so maybe if they'd been able to have him in the reveal at the end that would've been fun? Idk, lots to consider! But I agree that they should be a comedian (or just an internet person) more known to their audience at least.
Watching all of them just flex their comedy skills and making each other laugh was delightful. I hope theres more episodes that have this energy in the future lmao
7:32 this is gonna sound dumb but I'm not usually someone who laughs out loud while watching things. like i laugh irl a lot, but not when it comes to watching media for some reason, even though i'm very entertained by it. this part where Zac sent a fart sound with just the word "idiot" makes me laugh out loud literally every time i think about it
I loved this so much especially bc these are some of the best comedians I know, and watching all of them cackle at Zach constantly sending whoopee cushion farts was gold
@@riverr.659 if you’re saying he was playing a character, the character wasn’t a good fit. I agree, I do think he was playing a character. And in the same way that someone playing a goofy twerking character in a serious drama is a bad idea, it’s not generally a great idea to bring in disinterest and anti humor to a comedy show that’s primarily not that. And I’m fully prepared for this to not be Eric’s fault, but his part in the show sucked the air out of the entire episode.
@@riverr.659 He definitely could’ve been. Personally, I just got a weird vibe from the times we cut to his room and he was talking to the camera. If all of that was just playing a character for the camera, then he was playing an unlikable, boring character.

two moments that made me crey laughing were "runnin" and "Brennan?"
ally sprinted down that hallway like they wanted to be the first one on the playground
i want to embody the gender of every person in this video, but mostly ally's hallway sprint
grant saying the intro with sam is so incredibly relatable
I’m very much considering a Dropout subscription after this and all the shorts that they’ve posted. I just need more granma sweetie in my life
And I need this to be a show not a one-off thing, please!
Dude do it. Their new season of Dimension 20 (their ttrpg series) is fucking amazing. Never Stop Blowing Up, check it out, it’s got more Rekha and Ally and Brennan is the DM. Zac is on other seasons of Dimension 20 and he is equally as funny and unhinged in his roleplay characters.
do it it is really worth it, regardless of what you like, their catalogue is extensive now you'll surely find something that you love
I'd say go for it!! It's super cheap and a bunch of content!
It's the most bang for buck I get out of any of my streaming services. Also Dropout is very password sharing-friendly so if you can't do $6/month you can always split it with a friend.
@@igotbeans recently got some shorts recommended from their D20 Questing Queens campaign and that sealed the deal for me. Waiting for my next paycheck and then having a very fun week watching every single thing I remember from every RUclips short! Ooopoo very excited
Do you recommend watching them on the website or using the app? I saw some comments about how one might be better than the other
My favorite bit was Rehka saying opposite of Brennan is herself haha.
Jess was so fun the whole time! Perfect for her energy
"Wow, these are bad jokes. It's crazy that we're all comedians." 😂
Rekha did in fact look super fucking hot walking down the hallway!
I love these two episodes so much I hope they do another ratfish or just sumthn with a similar premise
I had this playing in the background and then I heard my name when they started talking about grandson Mason and the way I turned, around so fast I gave myself whiplash😂
was waiting for the Brennan trying to sit at his name card expletives, you're completely correct A+++
I loved the vibe of this show! Though it did kinda flounder towards the end... I feel like they shouldn't have had a celebrity guest, personally. Maybe someone from the office or another smaller online comedian that they know? Just to muddy the waters a bit? Still, I hope we get to see Ratfish again!!
It needed to be someone that the cast didn’t know very well, so another cast member wouldn’t have worked. But maybe they could’ve gotten someone more generally well known or something.
I’ve seen a lot of people saying it should’ve been Robert Reich, and that would’ve been funny
@tbow13gbr22 That would be funny! I feel like their guest is well known, since he is a famous comedian, but probably not to Dropout's main audience. I saw someone in a RUclips Shorts comment say that he would be someone that the Dropout cast would know, so maybe if they'd been able to have him in the reveal at the end that would've been fun? Idk, lots to consider! But I agree that they should be a comedian (or just an internet person) more known to their audience at least.
Watching all of them just flex their comedy skills and making each other laugh was delightful. I hope theres more episodes that have this energy in the future lmao
Zac with the whoopie cushion was one of the funniest things I've seen all year.
7:32 this is gonna sound dumb but I'm not usually someone who laughs out loud while watching things. like i laugh irl a lot, but not when it comes to watching media for some reason, even though i'm very entertained by it. this part where Zac sent a fart sound with just the word "idiot" makes me laugh out loud literally every time i think about it
and that's the power of Zac Oyama
Granma Sweetie is some of the funniest Zack comedy I've ever seen!
Ally running down the hallway will never not get me, it was so unexpected the first time I saw it I had to rewind.
sometimes i wonder why brennan lee mulligan didn't go as "brennan lee mulligan" and pretend to be himself to throw everyone off
I'm hindsight I'm not sure how more people didn't know right away that Zac was graNma sWeetie.
Ally SPRINTING down the hallway is peak gold imo I love them so much
This was such a brilliant game for these guys to play
You are so real during the epic walking through the hallway scene omg omg omg
I remember when the trailer first came out someone said “it’s just 45 minutes of them walking down the hallway”
there’s no game they’re just walking down the hall
zac as granma sweetie absolutely KILLED it. choco taco, runnin, says who...
The running bit of asking Sam where he's from at the beginning
At least we can all agree on one thing:
*Medecine*
I did not get what this joke was
I loved this so much especially bc these are some of the best comedians I know, and watching all of them cackle at Zach constantly sending whoopee cushion farts was gold
This episode only increased my crush on Rekha
Ally not knowing how old Brennan is was probably my favorite part of this.
Can’t help but notice the ratfish was only tangentially here. Not a single Steven post :)
Am I the only one who really didn’t like the ratfish? Not the episode, the dude. He just seems like an absolute tool
You’re not alone. He seems to be the reason this is the lowest rated episode of GC to date, based on what everyone’s been saying
how do y'all not see he was also playing a part 😭 the set decoration is right there
@@riverr.659 if you’re saying he was playing a character, the character wasn’t a good fit. I agree, I do think he was playing a character. And in the same way that someone playing a goofy twerking character in a serious drama is a bad idea, it’s not generally a great idea to bring in disinterest and anti humor to a comedy show that’s primarily not that. And I’m fully prepared for this to not be Eric’s fault, but his part in the show sucked the air out of the entire episode.
@@riverr.659 He definitely could’ve been. Personally, I just got a weird vibe from the times we cut to his room and he was talking to the camera. If all of that was just playing a character for the camera, then he was playing an unlikable, boring character.
No no, we do see that. We're just not into it 😂 @@riverr.659
Bug with a big ass reverting back to Brennan dialogue, you love to see it
i absoultely LOVED graNma sWeetie they were my favorite character XD
