"they called me the dragon lady because I'd get mad when people talk while you're playing" cuts screen to all the guys chattering like birds in her ear 😂😭
It's so endearing to see her slowly relax as she realizes they're just goofy idiots and they aren't misogynistic assholes! This was awesome and she's awesome!
"I told him I'd play for his pants." "I'll make that bet right now." Like, knowing them as we do, and seeing how they act later in the video, it's not that they're betting their pants thinking they'll win, it's just that they like taking their pants off, and this is a fun way to do it.
Yup, she legit started ordering them to step aside, or give her space. But eventually she did relax and guys learned to move out of her way and distract her from a distance.
Yeah and the way they were cheering her on and in awe of her skills so full-heartedly must have been such a pleasant surprise for her. Sad that it's probably surprise to her, but still so heartwarming. 🤗
I want to applaud whoever does the casting of these “4 vs 1” episodes. All the experts have been hilarious, super patient, masters of their craft, and so diverse! Melissa was fantastic in this and the guys looked like they had a great time. PS: Mustache season in the Try Guys is like pumpkin spice season, so fleeting, and to be savored.
She played considerably well considering how much they were talking and trying to distract her. People in poolhalls take those kind of distractions extremely seriously.
As someone who loves playing people, concentration is a huge part of the game. Even in professional matches, its bad form to make noise in the audience when someone is making their shot. You cheer after they make it.
Is no one going to talk about how incredible this woman is? she can literally make the ball do whatever she wants perfectly its way to impressive for me to even wrap my head around
You should watch this one guy he does like amazing pool shots all the time, his name is python or something like that, he was on dude perfect once, look him up he is amazing
Probably cos they were nice to her and not acting like douches... Most guys (at least when I played) would either hit on you or tell you you don't belong in the billiard hall...
i love how she's only allowed to give tips during the first round but she still gave tips and answer to the guys after the 2nd round, shows that this game is for fun and she's enjoying herself, the guys are amazing at complimenting
It's the strength of the format. 4 v 1 already gives the audience the notion that the pro is amazing. So the pro doesn't have any pressure to perform well. Even if she lost 1 game, nobody in their right mind will perceive her as garbage or mediocre. 1 v 4 is a good system to preserve everyone's ego and reputation.
"You're playing for the most coveted plants of all, Eugene's jeans." "They're really more slacks." If this was scripted I would have considered it hilarious. This is magical.
@@uxieorsomething To be fair... being good at it is not needed to make a kid. But from context clues and from what Ariel and Ned have hinted at, he's apparently quite... skilled, haha!
When Melissa was saying that all the men she plays always assume they can beat her because she’s a woman, I got really glad that this time she was playing the try guys. Every time they cheered for her, complimented her or expressed how incredible her skills are I just got even more glad. The guys always respect their guests and the pros are always so great!
And they the boys absolutely jumped to joy when Melissa was pocketing the balls especially the third game! Just look at the absolute joy on Eugene's face at 16:43 They enjoyed watching her and so did we💖💖💖
Yep, theyre super decent guys I love them very much. Also the annoying discrimination is probably the reason theres not so much gender diversity in these things in the first place, and then the reason these dudes get the audacity to treat her like that. Vicious cycle.
Plus they literally went to it with the mindset of “there’s no way we can beat her under normal conditions so how can me most advantage ourselves and handicap her and maybe win at least 1/4 games” and even still seek out and take her professional advice. You know the way most people would/should approach a game against a pro
Okay but can we appreciate just how cool she is? She was open to meeting and playing the try guys despite facing sexism/misogyny in the past, she gave them tips even though they were her opponents and she only lost when she had the most impediments possible. She knows the table so well, and can literally hit the ball into whatever pocket she wants just like that. She spent hours everyday putting in the hard work for 10 years. And despite being retired, she's still got it. I have mad respect for her. Also kudos to the guys for acknowledging and praising her instead of looking down on her just because she's a woman. I love that they don't have fragile masculinity. We need more of that in this world.
Pool is the kind of sport where everyone thinks theyre good at it because they occasionally play it at bars, but the difference between the average bar pool player and an actual professional is astounding
It’s the way she expressed how often men undermine her just because she’s a woman and they think she can’t beat them versus the Try Guys who cheer for her even when they’re losing. You can tell she relaxes more throughout the episode as she realizes they aren’t chalking up her talent to “luck”
Yes! I can definitely feel her relaxing as the video progresses & she was enjoying their company more & more after that. She's such a nice lady even though she came off intimidating in the beginning
It made me happy that they had a woman professional and that she mentioned the sexism she faces as a woman pool player. I suck at pool (on par with Zach's skill level😂) but I really fucking love playing it and am always the one who wants to play whenever I see someone has a pool table. However, because I'm a woman, I always feel so uncomfortable and awkward about it, and like I don't have a right to play it or that guys will see me as trying too hard because of it. I'm extremely happy that she didn't let any of that stuff intimidate her and that she worked so hard at something she enjoyed. It's so inspiring 💜
GURL, I feel ya! I always wanted to play pool since I was a kid but was super shy. I started playing finally when I started going out to the bar with friends after college and we all sucked at first and got better at it. Now when I go out and play with people, it seems there’s always girl that KICKS ASS, probably because she was underestimated and that just breeds sharks and it’s amazing! Keep it up and you’ll blow people away!
I live in Ireland. Every pub had a pool table when I was growing up. Everyone would play as soon as they could see the table and Everyone played who ever won the previous game. It wasn't unusual for kids to take a parents shot to learn to play and non of this 'u can't play cause ur a girl'. I'm still not good at it cause I'm crap at thinking ahead and have no hand eye coordination
I get you!! I feel the same about a lot of "masculine" stuff, especially video games. As a woman there's just so much extra pressure, like every time you play you're defending your entire gender instead of just playing. Even with my guy friends who I know don't think that way at ALL, it's still so indented into me that I can't turn it off. BUT the more we have stuff like this in the media the more that's unlearned (or never learnt at all for the younger generation) and I appreciate it so much
I'm girl and happy that I never felt this way (that pool is a men's thing). I like playing it. Several times I suggested a date could happen somewhere where pool tables are so we can play. It's fun :) Pool is cool :)
@@slouberiee heck yeah!! One day all girls will never have to feel that way, but for now I'm so hyped that you're living your best life despite sexism!
"Most of the time, I'm awful. Sometimes I'm incredible. Which i think means I'm bad and occasionally lucky" most accurate statement i have ever heard to be able to describe those guys at the bar that will hop on a table and that's the only time they ever play and with no real knowledge of the sport. Hands down my favorite quote now
Okay but imagine a 4 vs 1 and without a recipe crossover: one professional cook/baker against all four of the guys, battling, making a dish on time and as good as possible!!
This woman is not only an incredible pool player, she also has a great personality! I learned so much just from a few minutes of watching through a screen (starting by the difference of billard & pool). This was amazing!
Zach doesn’t normally seem to be competitive.. however Pool apparently is the game that we’ve been waiting for 😂😂😂 the slapping Keith’s back moment was true competitive energy
I think if its too physical, Zach tends to doubt himself coz he is a pasta. But otherwise he wants to be good at things if those things are actually fun to do.
Hahaha ikr!! I do that kind of thing all the time (and it’s always embarrassing) and my first thought was “oh wow I can’t believe he’s never done that before on camera” but it makes sense that he’s feeling competitive with this one!
i think my favorite thing about these videos is that MOST of their professionals are women, and the try guys come in with the "we are competitive, but we know we have a small shot of actually winning" i think it's the most subtle way of not having that internalized misogyny. and that's why i love them
@@federalinvestigation9962 And you live with a villain mindset. The fact that you try to bring down this commenter for saying something positive just shows. Makes me wonder what lengths you’ll go through just to ruin someone’s day with your words.
Melissa is my favorite pro so far (and not just because we share the name). I love how she was giving tips the whole time, but still had that just a little bit scary "I can totally kick your butt" vibe going on. Totally an icon for sure.
Her talking about the sexism she experienced and her rad demeanor has inspired me to try to get practice playing pool to make condescending men at bars weep!
I had a job where the boss stored his pool table in a extra room and every one ended up taking breaks there… it was so much fun beating the boys because apparently boobs should make you “too top heavy” to be able to angle shots
if there was ever a great example of what male feminists look like...look no further. these men love and honor women constantly and I love that they're not afraid to show that.
Beyond her Pro skills, Melissa is awesomely classy. I love how she was with the guys, beating them in the classiest of ways and giving us all a nice tutorial as you went.
She reminds me a little of Maria Ho from the poker episode. They are so far beyond the skill of a normal/ casual person that they can teach well without fear of losing.
The sweet little smile Melissa has when the guys are being massive goofballs is so endearing. Also the way she’s just so chill after making that rebound shot to sink the 8 ball while the guys are cheering is so funny and a little badass
Not sure if you guys take suggestions? Anyway, here’s one: Tetris. I’d be willing to bet highly ranked players could easily beat 5-6 amateurs simultaneously.
There is something pure about all the guys cheering for the expert when she made a difficult shot. Just the genuine excitement for her making some of those shots. Also she was pretty cool and she kept giving them tips and answering questions and that was all around just so cool. And pretty funny that Eugene was the only one in pants by the end. You could see improvement form all of them though, very clearly so!
I love how 4 vs 1 has so many female experts. The guys always respect them so much, and they take losing so well. They're like "We're going to take every advantage possible and we're still probably going to lose because you're masters of your craft"
She's so incredible. It's like the balls are moving by just her stares. The way she shots though... She's so focused it's amazing. I love it when people really love and focused on their hobbies/jobs.
We all appreciate Eugene's talent in these episodes, but I don't think we realise how gracious Zach is as a looser. He is typically the one at the bottom of these challenges but he is always so good about it. 👏👏👏
I love how they cheer her up more than they cheer each other. I’m really glad they choose a woman to do this video, specially knowing the sexism she has to endure in pool.
@@spin.chicken have you ever played pool as a woman? I used to regularly play pool and whenever I would get near the table all men thought I was fresh meat who needed to be (very physically) tought the game. whatever I would play, they would comment like they're pros and I'm a child who's giving it a try. so demeaning, inappropriate, and sexist.
I really love how many women they've chosen to have as their professionals: for pool, puzzles, golf, poker, bowling, etc. And not even just bc they're females and the try guys are against toxic masculinity, but bc they happen to BE some of the best in the world. Not just best who are women. But best in general. Women can be the very best, like no one ever was, too. 💁
That is so weird, but I never noticed most of the 4 vs. 1 have a woman as the professional !!! Why did that not cross my mind?? That is awesome!!! The archery competition was a woman too. 😄 I think the only males I can recall are the chess master and the crossword puzzle expert, right??
@@danielleking262 I love it that you didn't even notice their gender until it was highlighted. Goes to show that we're seeing the pros as experts in their field and the fact that they're also women is just the cherry on top 🍒
@@danielleking262 wow I totally forgot about the crossword video 😅 I loveeee the chess video tho, 1. bc he's a youtuber I've watched and enjoy and 2. because of his ironic connection with Ned/Yale 😂 plus he was such a character. That whole video was a mood.
Don’t forget tony jefferies and kerrie christie in the boxing video. Still my favorite video out of the series. They both had great chemistry with the try guys
zach: *tries to distract melissa by shaking his butt* melissa: *misses* zach: *shakes butt in celebration* eugene: “to your credit zach’s butt is very distracting” zach: “cuz it’s like HOW IS IT SO FLAT?!”
Rewatching this coz the dragon lady is a really fun expert. She laughs with them, at them. She goes with the jokes. She’s also very concise when teaching them. And then she drops a bomb like “that’s a very ba strategy.” The way she laughed when Zack hit Keith. And then the “try pants” I just like her so much!
The energy in this whole video is immaculate, and way Eugene went from "I am lightly intoxicated and don't know what I'm doing" to "I'm a pool master" was amazing.
I love when Eugene tries to be funny or makes a dry, witty remark and gets zero reception, like literally no one reacts, because that then inadvertently makes it funny.
What she said about women pool players being looked down on is two true. Out of my group of friends (I’m the only girl), whenever we would go to play pool and someone else joined our game, they would always avoid playing me because they think I’m just a ditsy girl who can’t play or would just assume that I’m not participating, when in fact (not meaning to brag) I was the best player out of my group of friends and taught half of them to play. I remember one of the times these guys were refusing to play against me because I’m a women and wanted to play my friends, but as I’d already payed though they were stuck with me, the whole time they were making remarks and being so sexist, and I completely thrashed both of them at two different games, the first guy was being terrorised by his mate for loosing to a girl, so for me to thrash the other guy too made it so much sweeter, they then both just left the pub without uttering a word or even looking at me, gave me and my mates a good laugh, aswel as the other people in the pub 😂
I feel you. There have been so many times that some random guy would offer to teach me because he just assumed I couldn't play. And then I would trash him. It was immensely satisfying.
@@clemencemercille9255 And I assume more than one will accuse you of "hustling" them when you never did anything to make them assume you're bad other than existing!
I love doing that! I’m by no means great at pool but got decent after college and guys would come up and challenge me and my guy friends to games, trying to flirt with me, and then we’d beat them so bad. My boyfriend was also the bartender and he loved seeing it all go down. It was hilarious and just so fun.
Take note y'all, this is how 4 male creators can help fight against sexism- showcase women's amazing talent and dedication, acknowledge how much more skilled they are at their professional craft, and be respectful and sportsmanlike. Love it!
Before you say anything I'm just expressing my opinion and asking for feedback. I always thought the best way to not be sexist, was to treat every gender the same. (Ps I know there's obvious exceptions)
@@pyg9466really? (Important point, I don't use social media so I'm going off what I've heard and already know) I thought there was actually more equality on social media since men tend to look for females (six appeal)[please correct if wrong] and females want to look at females for women empowerment. It could also be the same the other way around, but thats just my opinion
@@bigrealm8156 see you already said it yourself, that men look at women for “sex appeal” and not necessarily to acknowledge their ability/craft. equality presented in social media is important BUT outside of social media, equality and opportunities presented are insufficient and more often than not, presented as virtue signaling to pander to an audience.
This was soooo entertaining! Melissa is a badass! Sucks that she's run into sexism. It happens a looot in adventure sports too, and it's SO ridiculous! She definitely deserves some serious respect! Also, major kudos to beating her on the last game, y'all!
Sexism in the pool hall is normal. But 100% women who are good pool players want that sexism in pool. They get much better action and have an advantage against men. Pool is a gamblers game, so men would underestimate women when playing pool, so she’s probably made a lot of money over the years. Sad but true.
@@bakoyma you’re right. That’s why I didn’t say “all” woman…. I said the ones who are good and who actually gamble. I gamble daily in pool, and the woman here who actually gamble, they will gladly tell you exactly how it is. So if you don’t know much about the topic, then please save yourself the comment. Just another person trying to twist someone’s words to make yourself feel better 🤷🏻♂️
@@b49730 not disagreeing with you or anything, but how casually you say that sentence is horrible to hear - “sexism in the pool hall is normal”. It shouldn’t be normal, anywhere. What a sad and pathetic world we live in.
I'd like to see the guys develop their barbershop quartet talent. Zach is dead-on with his high notes and can serve as tenor, Ned has a pleasant midrange and he can handle a lead, and Keith and Eugene can fight over the other two spots as either would make a great baritone or bass.
Melissa is amazing!! So kind and generous offering advice to the Try Guys while also being a fun and more than worthy competitor. Also, I cannot WAIT to see competitive eating with Matt Stonie
This is by far my favorite Try Guys series. I love seeing pros talk about their craft and teach beginners, and it's very fun learning some of the terms and strategy of all these skills. It really feels like the spirit of inviting the audience into the "try"! Please continue making these! ETA: Also, showcasing so many women professionals and so many Asian professionals has made me so happy!
Try Guys Big Try: Catering. You've been producing a ton of food content, but only cooking for a few people. Let's see you try cooking on a bigger scale!
very possibly my favorite 4v1 and my favorite professional. every time i rewatch this i am just amazed at how she was mentoring them and still being an incredible rival. most times, the pro doesn't give any instructions past the rules of the game in order to keep the upper hand but she showed her skill while still letting them learn rather than taking advantage of their lack of skill. love her so much

However, because I'm a woman, I always feel so uncomfortable and awkward about it, and like I don't have a right to play it or that guys will see me as trying too hard because of it. I'm extremely happy that she didn't let any of that stuff intimidate her and that she worked so hard at something she enjoyed. It's so inspiring 💜
GURL, I feel ya! I always wanted to play pool since I was a kid but was super shy. I started playing finally when I started going out to the bar with friends after college and we all sucked at first and got better at it. Now when I go out and play with people, it seems there’s always girl that KICKS ASS, probably because she was underestimated and that just breeds sharks and it’s amazing! Keep it up and you’ll blow people away!
I live in Ireland. Every pub had a pool table when I was growing up. Everyone would play as soon as they could see the table and Everyone played who ever won the previous game. It wasn't unusual for kids to take a parents shot to learn to play and non of this 'u can't play cause ur a girl'. I'm still not good at it cause I'm crap at thinking ahead and have no hand eye coordination
I get you!! I feel the same about a lot of "masculine" stuff, especially video games. As a woman there's just so much extra pressure, like every time you play you're defending your entire gender instead of just playing. Even with my guy friends who I know don't think that way at ALL, it's still so indented into me that I can't turn it off. BUT the more we have stuff like this in the media the more that's unlearned (or never learnt at all for the younger generation) and I appreciate it so much
I'm girl and happy that I never felt this way (that pool is a men's thing). I like playing it. Several times I suggested a date could happen somewhere where pool tables are so we can play. It's fun :) Pool is cool :)
@@slouberiee heck yeah!! One day all girls will never have to feel that way, but for now I'm so hyped that you're living your best life despite sexism!
Zach missing the whole game and then making the winning shot is amazing
"Most of the time, I'm awful. Sometimes I'm incredible. Which i think means I'm bad and occasionally lucky" most accurate statement i have ever heard to be able to describe those guys at the bar that will hop on a table and that's the only time they ever play and with no real knowledge of the sport.
Hands down my favorite quote now
Okay but imagine a 4 vs 1 and without a recipe crossover: one professional cook/baker against all four of the guys, battling, making a dish on time and as good as possible!!
If travel was possible, I'd recommend Sorted and then they can do a collab of each Try Guy against each Sorted guy.
How fun would it be if they got rosana to do it
I'm so here for this!
Yeessss!!
okay someone email this to the team like this would be everything!
This woman is terrifying and INCREDIBLE. God I love her so much
Only thing she's afraid of is Zach taking his pants off!
She's like the perfect balance of mafia head intimidation and loving grandma gentleness
@@Kiterpuss HONESTLY
shes lowkey got that mafia boss sort of vibe when shes playing but when they are talking shes like a kind friend
she was not having their jokes lol
This woman is not only an incredible pool player, she also has a great personality! I learned so much just from a few minutes of watching through a screen (starting by the difference of billard & pool). This was amazing!
I love when they have female professionals. This woman is great. "So I have to tell you that's a terrible strategy."
That’s my favorite part. She waited until after he made the mistake to point it out lol 😂 I’m here for it.
Zach doesn’t normally seem to be competitive.. however Pool apparently is the game that we’ve been waiting for 😂😂😂 the slapping Keith’s back moment was true competitive energy
I absolutely died laughing when he did that 😂 But I also know the feeling.
I think if its too physical, Zach tends to doubt himself coz he is a pasta. But otherwise he wants to be good at things if those things are actually fun to do.
Hahaha ikr!! I do that kind of thing all the time (and it’s always embarrassing) and my first thought was “oh wow I can’t believe he’s never done that before on camera” but it makes sense that he’s feeling competitive with this one!
i think my favorite thing about these videos is that MOST of their professionals are women, and the try guys come in with the "we are competitive, but we know we have a small shot of actually winning" i think it's the most subtle way of not having that internalized misogyny. and that's why i love them
you live with the victim mindset
@@federalinvestigation9962
And you live with a villain mindset. The fact that you try to bring down this commenter for saying something positive just shows. Makes me wonder what lengths you’ll go through just to ruin someone’s day with your words.
Zach: "I'm sweating, I don't sweat"
Me: remembers the time he was so sweaty he literally escaped a pair of handcuffs 🤔🤔🤔
The tape slipping off too 😂😂😂
What episode was that? 👀
@@danmakes2497 try guys get kidnapped I think
That was a much more harrowing situation, though. I have never sweated over a pool game.
One of my favorite episodes!
They need to bring her back, she’s good and great to watch.
I uhhh... guess I'll be the person to leave a normal reply and say yes i loved her energy
@@JazzyPuppyB i felt the same too
It would be kind of fun if they did a rematch with the Pool game in Wii Play.
Melissa is my favorite pro so far (and not just because we share the name). I love how she was giving tips the whole time, but still had that just a little bit scary "I can totally kick your butt" vibe going on. Totally an icon for sure.
Can we talk about that nickname? Dragon Lady! That is so badass
Her talking about the sexism she experienced and her rad demeanor has inspired me to try to get practice playing pool to make condescending men at bars weep!
I love that! Good luck!
Yes! Love that plan! Keep collecting the pants of all the losers!
I had a job where the boss stored his pool table in a extra room and every one ended up taking breaks there… it was so much fun beating the boys because apparently boobs should make you “too top heavy” to be able to angle shots
Hell yeah, kick their asses!!
Making condescending men weep is my life goal
The ratio of female to male experts in general with 4 v 1 is delicious. That’s why I love these guys
if there was ever a great example of what male feminists look like...look no further. these men love and honor women constantly and I love that they're not afraid to show that.
They are great examples of what great and secure men look like. I totally agree
Absolutely!
was just saying this! it’s great they always try to have female experts
@@kathleenuclear oooii Ii
Beyond her Pro skills, Melissa is awesomely classy. I love how she was with the guys, beating them in the classiest of ways and giving us all a nice tutorial as you went.
This expert seemed like both a friendly teacher, and a fearsome force to be reckoned with.
I applaud her and her skill.
That’s how you know she’s a good teacher. The best ones are like family but can run laps around you and laugh at you while doing it 😂
She reminds me a little of Maria Ho from the poker episode. They are so far beyond the skill of a normal/ casual person that they can teach well without fear of losing.
there’s something poetic about zach messing up his shots all through out but being able to pocket the 8 ball in the last round 😌
It's like Eugene getting the last strike in bowling!
The sweet little smile Melissa has when the guys are being massive goofballs is so endearing. Also the way she’s just so chill after making that rebound shot to sink the 8 ball while the guys are cheering is so funny and a little badass
I love how supportive the experts always are but this woman was hysterical and I wish we could have more of her
If she had a RUclips channel of her own I would subscribe the hell out of it
"you guys each get to take a shot"
*Eugene, completely alcohol obsessed: "wait, a shot? we get a shot?!"*
It turns out Eugene never slacks off when his pants are on the line.
It’s been 7 months since you made this comment... but I just wanted to acknowledge the 10 out of 10 pants pun. 👍🏼
it has now been 2 years, and the pun is still quality 11/10
The way she said "you need to make balls" with the utmosy sincerity and such a serious face is *chef's kiss*
her face was just like... "Whats funny?"
Not sure if you guys take suggestions? Anyway, here’s one: Tetris. I’d be willing to bet highly ranked players could easily beat 5-6 amateurs simultaneously.
I just wanna see some tetris so i agree
jonas wouldve been perfect for this (except he's not a battle tetris player so on second thought maybe not)
That'd be such an easy lose for them though/lh
Bro I need this as a Tetris fan an a try Guys fan :D
Yes!
There is something pure about all the guys cheering for the expert when she made a difficult shot. Just the genuine excitement for her making some of those shots.
Also she was pretty cool and she kept giving them tips and answering questions and that was all around just so cool.
And pretty funny that Eugene was the only one in pants by the end.
You could see improvement form all of them though, very clearly so!
I love how 4 vs 1 has so many female experts. The guys always respect them so much, and they take losing so well. They're like "We're going to take every advantage possible and we're still probably going to lose because you're masters of your craft"
She's so incredible. It's like the balls are moving by just her stares. The way she shots though... She's so focused it's amazing. I love it when people really love and focused on their hobbies/jobs.
I can see her play all day
We all appreciate Eugene's talent in these episodes, but I don't think we realise how gracious Zach is as a looser. He is typically the one at the bottom of these challenges but he is always so good about it. 👏👏👏
I love how they cheer her up more than they cheer each other. I’m really glad they choose a woman to do this video, specially knowing the sexism she has to endure in pool.
She likely doesn't endure that much sexism lmao. She sounds more bitter that there WAS sexism in the past, rather than present day.
@@spin.chicken and you sound like a fool, if you think women in male-dominated fields don’t endure sexism in the present day
@@spin.chicken pool halls reek of misogyny even now lmaoo
@@spin.chicken have you ever played pool as a woman? I used to regularly play pool and whenever I would get near the table all men thought I was fresh meat who needed to be (very physically) tought the game. whatever I would play, they would comment like they're pros and I'm a child who's giving it a try. so demeaning, inappropriate, and sexist.
@@spin.chicken even comments that are 4 days fresh have more likes than yours. LOL
I really love how many women they've chosen to have as their professionals: for pool, puzzles, golf, poker, bowling, etc. And not even just bc they're females and the try guys are against toxic masculinity, but bc they happen to BE some of the best in the world. Not just best who are women. But best in general. Women can be the very best, like no one ever was, too. 💁
That is so weird, but I never noticed most of the 4 vs. 1 have a woman as the professional !!! Why did that not cross my mind?? That is awesome!!!
The archery competition was a woman too. 😄
I think the only males I can recall are the chess master and the crossword puzzle expert, right??
@@danielleking262 I love it that you didn't even notice their gender until it was highlighted. Goes to show that we're seeing the pros as experts in their field and the fact that they're also women is just the cherry on top 🍒
@@danielleking262 wow I totally forgot about the crossword video 😅 I loveeee the chess video tho, 1. bc he's a youtuber I've watched and enjoy and 2. because of his ironic connection with Ned/Yale 😂 plus he was such a character. That whole video was a mood.
@@redvinesron I was just blown away he played four games all at the same time while BLINDFOLDED !!!!
Don’t forget tony jefferies and kerrie christie in the boxing video. Still my favorite video out of the series. They both had great chemistry with the try guys
I will never not love when Zach took his pants off and Keith saw his underwear and went "Those are cute!" like a teenage girl at a sleepover 😂
“It’s what the audience wants.” Well, he’s not wrong.
📸📸📸
zach: *tries to distract melissa by shaking his butt*
melissa: *misses*
zach: *shakes butt in celebration*
eugene: “to your credit zach’s butt is very distracting”
zach: “cuz it’s like HOW IS IT SO FLAT?!”
Zach Kornfeld, king of roasting himself
Y'know, it's really funny how you just quoted exactly what happened in the video without adding anything of value or substance to it.
@@sunnybowos266 it is a very common way to show appreciation for one of the best moments (in the author's opnion) of the video
@@sunnybowos266 its a yt comment not a standup routine
Keith, talking to himself:
*"It's fun not having pants"*
Rewatching this coz the dragon lady is a really fun expert. She laughs with them, at them. She goes with the jokes. She’s also very concise when teaching them. And then she drops a bomb like “that’s a very ba strategy.”
The way she laughed when Zack hit Keith.
And then the “try pants”
I just like her so much!
If Keith doesn’t shave I’m drawing moustaches on all his bottled sauces
I'm pretty sure that will just incentivize him
@@ahhh4117 🤫 don’t give away my manipulation plan
LOL
I think he would enjoy that
The energy in this whole video is immaculate, and way Eugene went from "I am lightly intoxicated and don't know what I'm doing" to "I'm a pool master" was amazing.
Have the guys done ping pong yet? I want to see Keith and Zach as a team on ping pong. That would be hilarious.
and then Keith might get mad and squash the pingpong ball 😂
I love when Eugene tries to be funny or makes a dry, witty remark and gets zero reception, like literally no one reacts, because that then inadvertently makes it funny.
It sorta reminds me of Jim looking to the camera
@@jasperredman6916 😂😂 why is this so funny
Very little in life has given me more joy than Keith yelling a deals a deal while unbuckling his pants at a pool table
"We should just have gay sex" then the series finale hashtag had me rolling
the quiet little "four on one!" in the background sent me
*loses pants*
“This is what the audience wants”
You’re not wrong
And then keith saying 'those are cute' 😂
3:55 Yeah, we got that Ned.......
Keith's quiet little "Its fun not having pants". Iconic
YESSSSS!
What she said about women pool players being looked down on is two true. Out of my group of friends (I’m the only girl), whenever we would go to play pool and someone else joined our game, they would always avoid playing me because they think I’m just a ditsy girl who can’t play or would just assume that I’m not participating, when in fact (not meaning to brag) I was the best player out of my group of friends and taught half of them to play. I remember one of the times these guys were refusing to play against me because I’m a women and wanted to play my friends, but as I’d already payed though they were stuck with me, the whole time they were making remarks and being so sexist, and I completely thrashed both of them at two different games, the first guy was being terrorised by his mate for loosing to a girl, so for me to thrash the other guy too made it so much sweeter, they then both just left the pub without uttering a word or even looking at me, gave me and my mates a good laugh, aswel as the other people in the pub 😂
I feel you. There have been so many times that some random guy would offer to teach me because he just assumed I couldn't play. And then I would trash him. It was immensely satisfying.
@@clemencemercille9255 And I assume more than one will accuse you of "hustling" them when you never did anything to make them assume you're bad other than existing!
Happy that you humiliated them
I love doing that! I’m by no means great at pool but got decent after college and guys would come up and challenge me and my guy friends to games, trying to flirt with me, and then we’d beat them so bad. My boyfriend was also the bartender and he loved seeing it all go down. It was hilarious and just so fun.
You go sister!
I like how the Guy’s shirts/vests/ties look like a progression of intoxication. Ned->Keith->Zach->Eugene
Take note y'all, this is how 4 male creators can help fight against sexism- showcase women's amazing talent and dedication, acknowledge how much more skilled they are at their professional craft, and be respectful and sportsmanlike. Love it!
Before you say anything I'm just expressing my opinion and asking for feedback.
I always thought the best way to not be sexist, was to treat every gender the same.
(Ps I know there's obvious exceptions)
@@bigrealm8156 yes but as we all know women rarely get the spotlight in social media
@@pyg9466really?
(Important point, I don't use social media so I'm going off what I've heard and already know)
I thought there was actually more equality on social media since men tend to look for females (six appeal)[please correct if wrong] and females want to look at females for women empowerment.
It could also be the same the other way around, but thats just my opinion
@@bigrealm8156 see you already said it yourself, that men look at women for “sex appeal” and not necessarily to acknowledge their ability/craft. equality presented in social media is important BUT outside of social media, equality and opportunities presented are insufficient and more often than not, presented as virtue signaling to pander to an audience.
@@SpaghettiPlays cool, thanks for explaining. And have a good October tomorrow
I love that she’s a woman just so strong, professional, but also willing to be so sweet with all the try guys’ crazy 🤣
“Why do we keep doing things ned’s good at?”
ALRIGHT NEXT VIDEO: Try Guys Try Infidelity
She didn’t know how serious they are about taking off their pants
This was soooo entertaining! Melissa is a badass! Sucks that she's run into sexism. It happens a looot in adventure sports too, and it's SO ridiculous! She definitely deserves some serious respect! Also, major kudos to beating her on the last game, y'all!
Sexism in the pool hall is normal. But 100% women who are good pool players want that sexism in pool. They get much better action and have an advantage against men. Pool is a gamblers game, so men would underestimate women when playing pool, so she’s probably made a lot of money over the years. Sad but true.
@@bakoyma you’re right. That’s why I didn’t say “all” woman…. I said the ones who are good and who actually gamble. I gamble daily in pool, and the woman here who actually gamble, they will gladly tell you exactly how it is. So if you don’t know much about the topic, then please save yourself the comment. Just another person trying to twist someone’s words to make yourself feel better 🤷🏻♂️
@@b49730 not disagreeing with you or anything, but how casually you say that sentence is horrible to hear - “sexism in the pool hall is normal”. It shouldn’t be normal, anywhere. What a sad and pathetic world we live in.
@@redeye1016 :'(
Showing 3 or 4 good shots from Ned and Eugene and then Zach just whiffing on it has me laughing so hard
Whoever edited this, I love all the mathematical transitions.
I'd like to see the guys develop their barbershop quartet talent. Zach is dead-on with his high notes and can serve as tenor, Ned has a pleasant midrange and he can handle a lead, and Keith and Eugene can fight over the other two spots as either would make a great baritone or bass.
Yeah they were really good in the shaving video
And the outfits would be great fun....
Melissa is amazing!! So kind and generous offering advice to the Try Guys while also being a fun and more than worthy competitor. Also, I cannot WAIT to see competitive eating with Matt Stonie
The regret on her face when they followed through on the lose the pants penalty. 😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA YES
But then she has a great "Vanna moment" with Zach's pants!
This is by far my favorite Try Guys series. I love seeing pros talk about their craft and teach beginners, and it's very fun learning some of the terms and strategy of all these skills. It really feels like the spirit of inviting the audience into the "try"! Please continue making these!
ETA: Also, showcasing so many women professionals and so many Asian professionals has made me so happy!
Zach wearing purple briefs, only for him to save Eugenes pants later, was the best foreshadowing ever 🤣 💚💜
At the end when Keith said "reference that 3 Doors Down song" but then started singing Nickelback I died
I really, really appreciate how many women you have as the experts in this series- especially in male-dominated fields.
17:45 I feel like this camera angle was intentional 😂
40 years old, grew up with a pool table, played countless games (still suck at it), and this is how I learn I play left handed.
I didn’t even realize until u said this, and I watched the last game back, that I too play lefty 😂
DUDE I was realizing that as I watched too and thought hey maybe that’s why I suck so bad 😂😂😂
I...I only just now, reading this and then going back to look at the video, realized that I, a left-handed person, play right-handed

the editing of this video is AMAZING, shoutout devlin !! makes you feel like you're on the edge of your seat
When she told Zach he could keep his pants on, I'm like, hello, these are the try guys, any opportunity to get naked is taken
She is easily one of the coolest experts you've had on. I'd love to see her and Dr. Trumpi hang out. Such queens
Why did you give me this prompt? This is the only thing I want from 2021 now…
very possibly my favorite 4v1 and my favorite professional. every time i rewatch this i am just amazed at how she was mentoring them and still being an incredible rival. most times, the pro doesn't give any instructions past the rules of the game in order to keep the upper hand but she showed her skill while still letting them learn rather than taking advantage of their lack of skill. love her so much
Eugene: Why do we keep doing stuff Ned's good at? Ugh, we should just have gay sex. He's not good at that.
I fuckin lost it omg hahah
The hashtag in the corner is what sent me. I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard
