Приколы
Be careful of sitting in the directors chair, Eugene. You never know if it is actually Keith in disguise.
Oh my god. That would be so magical 😂
I literally busted out laughing from this comment 🤣
What a throwback 😂
Oh my god this comment 🤣
This whole emotional video didn't make me cry but, somehow, this one comment with a stupid inside joke did. I'm on a tram, I can't be crying.
“You can never be the reason I left, because you are all the reason I stayed…” OOOF 🥺
Totally took me out. 😢
man i started bawling
THAT sentence had me ugly crying. Already had the tears, but that set me off.
@@bonesjunkie12same!
Broke me
Aw Eugene will ALWAYS be a Try Guy. He's just going off and trying things behind the scenes. Thanks Eugene for sharing yourself with us for these past 10 years.
I had no idea that Eugene was a writer, but seeing how eloquenty he expresses himself and makes his point clear while still sounding incredibly gentle and vulnerable, I think he's got a bright future in front of him. best of luck.
Agreed! I can’t wait to read his queer fantasy saga, especially as I try to write my own!
They were all writers and content creators at “the company” but, I didn’t know he was writing fiction and graphic novels!! And directing a movie!! What kind of movie is it? I hope our local small theater will play it.
I saw someone say on Instagram that replacing Eugene with 9 people seems correct and I couldn’t agree more.
Yes, pretty much 😂
That's so funny yet extremely wholesome and accurate at the same time. I usually hate change but this feels right.
it’s so true! no single person could replace eugene, but 9 can damn well try!
Totally agree!!
Disagree that he can ever be replaced. The try guys team can grow, but Eugene can't be replaced.
We will try (and totally fail) to fill your shoes. ❤
Nah. You guys are putting on totally new (and equally glamorous) shoes.
Y'all are doing great! ❤
fill your own shoes jonny, thats already a big enough task. love your sass ❤
Fill ‘em with cake, Jonny. Fill ‘em with cake.
Well at least we have a replacement for Eugene. Well somewhat. My favorite moment is clearly The Jonny Cake
This didnt feel like the death i was expecting.. it felt like that last meal in a friends house after you've helped them pack everything. I loved growing with you and i cant wait to see where you go on this journey Eugene. Nimona was just the tip of the iceberg for you.
Wow. This is so profound but yes, this feels exactly like that.
You are so right ❤
I know Eugene has meant a lot to a lot of people. But Eugene needs to know that I myself as a 51 year old southern momma, will always look back at him as my favorite Asian son! You are a beautiful soul!
This is my favourite comment
"you could never be the reason I left, because you were all the reason I stayed" 😭😭 That's BEAUTIFUL
A beautiful sentiment from a beautiful person, inside and out. 💜
The way he was looking at them off of both cameras too 😭
You can tell he wanted to leave earlier but if he left right after the stupid n*d shitstorm, it wouldve been terrible to the team so he stayed. 😢
i have not gotten there and you made me sob
I held it together until this point and then it was OVER
I remember Eugene said he always wanted a more diverse Try Guys (especially considering he was the only queer poc) but a certain someone said the Try Guys could only be the four. Seeing the Try Guys finally evolve their cast to be more inclusive as Eugene bows out seems to perfect.
Edit: grammar
It also happened so natural after that fart left. They brought on so many people AND WOMEN TOO! honestly that scandal I think set them free and has allowed the try guys to become a melting pot of so many backgrounds and talents ❤
eugene isnt bipoc 😭😭😭 the bi stands for black indigenous, eugene is korean
@@NamiNaekotry guys was never about the four… well three. It’s about a collaboration of minds. Do they have their faults? Sure but Eugene is ready to take the next step. And not bake stuff without recipes
@@zandra9640and poc stands for person of color, which includes asians
@@zandra9640 babe, it stands for “black, indigenous, people of color”. Eugene is definitely poc, that encompasses anyone who’s not white
The clean break from Eugene is so understandable and heartbreaking, we’ll miss you Eugene!!! Can’t wait to see your endeavors in the future!!!!
A beautiful and eloquent exit, Eugene. We love you eternally, and the difference you made was immeasurable. THANK YOU for being here.
He sighed and I started crying
Same
I was good until he started crying then I lost it😢
Yupp
@@sarahbridget84 "I'm not supposed to cry" 😭😭 stoooopppp, that broke me
Same we all thought it was coming but it still hurts..
When Eugene called Zach and Keith his "bespectacled baby brothers", my heart melted. We love you, Eugene. Go forward with your bright future and take comfort in being yourself.
I started to sob when he said it.
side comment but i never knew eugene was the oldest try guy !! he looks amazing
Same
Try Guys certainly lost most of their vision with Eugene leaving.
When was this or where
This feels like sending a kid to college. He will always be a part of the house. So long, Eugene. You are always loved!
I have long held Eugene in high esteem, recognizing him not only as a member of the Try Guys but also as an integral figure in my whole life. I vividly recall fervently following his journey during a significant chapter of my life, and in many ways, I have internalized his identity, character, and beauty. His conduct, unwavering thoughtfulness towards his loved ones (albeit subtly veiled by nonchalance), and his well-spoken and eloquent demeanor have profoundly shaped my perception of him. Bearing witness to his evolution as a prominent LGBTQ+ media personality has been an incredible and almost surreal privilege. Rarely have I encountered someone so unfiltered, authentic, and multifaceted. As he revealed different facets and unveiled layers of his being, my admiration and respect for him deepened. It is challenging to believe that such an extraordinary individual coexists on the same planet as I do. I consider it a great honor to have intersected with his life, despite the physical distance that separated us but bound us spiritually. I aspire to meet him again someday. He will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope that, amidst all his endeavors, he preserves a space in his soul where the spirit of the Try Guys endures. ❤
Chill out Kevin James Loibl 😅
That’s really sad you don’t even know him
@@Syrupsssss why do they have to know him?
Incredibly selfless Eugene stayed with the Try Guys during the rock bottom drama, and therefore pushed back his planned exit and effectively future career. Nothing but respect for this man ❤
really speaks to the respect he has for the audience and the team. what a great creator :)
Sounds like he was planning this a while ago and then had to uturn poor guy
@@cassiehauschildt8257 explains his face and emotions during that time too
Exactly what I'm feeling. Oof my heart.
@@cassiehauschildt8257 There is a bit more explanation from Keith and Zach on the podcast. As different as these three are, they are friends and hold the highest respect and regard for each other. That is obvious.
It should be highlighted again and again that Eugene sacrificed so much and delayed his departure to support his friends, to be a united front and defend his company against someone who betrayed them and risked everything. He could and should have left earlier to be honest, but he never, this shows what sort of person Eugene is, how fiercely loyal and protective he is over the people he cares about.
Honestly, realizing his departure was originally planned 2 years ago and why he stayed adds a whole other layer to all the emotions displayed..
And shows what a solid character he has. I'm super excited for his upcoming work though!!
Amen! He's the bestest soul
@@KaylaChaotic325where did you find the info of him supposedly leaving 2 years ago?
@fluffylizz that's what I inferred from their other statements, particularly when he said his projects had to be delayed due to "unforseen circumstances."
Maybe I'm wrong though, it just seemed to explain a lot.
@@fluffylizzIf you listen to the latest episode of the TryPod, Zach and Keith infer it there. They reference that to explain all the changes, we have to go back to Fall 2022.
Eugene is such an eloquent speaker. What a beautiful goodbye.
Your coming out video is the most beautiful piece of performance art I've ever seen, and the most impactful thing the Try Guys have ever platformed. We all knew this was coming, and I'm so glad it finally has. The Try Guys make great comedy, and it's important that it exists; and you make great art, and it's important that it exists, too. I'm so glad you have their support in making more room for yourself to make more of it. You ALL have fans in all of us.
So true ❤ so true
"I want us to look forward to those reunions with joy." We will, Eugene. Thanks for 10 wonderful years
time stamp?
that was my favorite part because it means hell be back maybe. and we can be hapy when he is
@@pvic6959 I don’t think he wanted to leave but when your original dreams come true, you gotta take risks & accept those offers, especially in Hollywood, those offers don’t come easy.
I’m sure down the line Keith & Zach’s original dreams will also come true too.
And it’s awesome to know he’ll appear in the future, personally the cooking shows are the ones he enjoys most. W.A.R & Future Phoning It In! HELLO😂
I can see him as amazing guest judge on without the recipe, burning the guys with hell fire down 🔥😂
@@jj-if6it7:37
I honestly think this is the best outcome. They're still friends. They still love each other. Eugene can be the bright person we all know he's destined to be. And zack and Keith can do what brings them joy. I'm happy for all of them.
I agree! It's sad and sucks but it's healthy and caring, and that's beautiful!
Totally agree with this sentiment! They all get to flourish, and still be besties!
exactly, well said. i'm totally happy for them, i am just happy they are still good friends, love each other and have each other's backs. after all, we all only have one life, i want him to be able to do what he wants with it in happiness and freedom -- i hope he can accomplish his dreams
Sorry to be that person but his name is actually spelled *Zach. and yes! honestly glad they didn’t fall in the first footsteps that Watcher tried to take, but they’ve fixed it now, so i can’t say too much. But let’s be honest, Try Guys was always going to do us justice
We had the bad ending with the guy who shall not be named. We had the good ending with Eugene.
as an illustrator who relies on social media for promoting my work but is also a private person, i've always understood and respected eugene taking a step back from certain parts of the try guys like the podcast. never have i ever took it as a personal affront or assumed it was coming from a place of elitism or arrogance, because ten years of eugene being as sincere as possible despite the fact that being accessible doesn't come naturally made it clear that that would never be the case with him. it never occurred to me to assume the worst, and i can only assume i'm not the only one who feels this way.
eugene, you have being such a proud, eloquent, and important voice for east asians and queer folk for so many years. you've inspired so many to have the courage to be their true selves. i felt encouraged in my own endeavours to see that someone for whom social media didn't come naturally could still thrive in the space, and now i feel encouraged to see that you can change platforms/mediums and continue to thrive. i think one of the scariest parts of being a creative is needing to leave one thing behind to pursue something else and not always knowing if it will work. in that regard, eugene, you have been and will continue to be an incredible inspiration as both a human and an artist. thank you for sharing yourself and your work with us for so many years. good luck in all your incredible projects, i can't wait to enjoy them all.
"All stories, even the ones we love, must eventually come to an end and when they do, it's only an opportunity for another story to begin."
"I'm not supposed to cry" yes you are, Eugene. You're human. Humans cry. 🩵
Yes! 💜
I was crying and laughing at that moment. That was something the Eugene from when I knew him 10 years ago would say, but expressing it in a moment that shows how much he has emotionally opened through the years.
So true!
He is Human!? I thought him a God in human form!
I was fighting back my tears up until that point, it was hard esp hearing him talking about feeling voiceless as a queer asian since I am one myself, but that "fuck I'm not supposed to cry" part made me laugh and I bawled right after
Eugene I feel like we just had the most mutually understanding break up
Same, this is 100% what it feels like
This is perfectly succinct
Yes lol like the kind where you still love each other and are great friends but realize you're not meant to be together in this way. I just wish them all the best, it's bittersweet but I'm rooting for all of them
Eugene, as an Asian American myself your voice, your face, your authenticity was so inspiring, refreshing, and real. Sharing your truth and life with us helped many of us feel seen and gave us the confidence to show up as ourselves to keep creating spaces for others to be seen and heard beyond the Asian or Asian American monolith. I’ve loved your work (don’t tell the others but your videos were always my favorite 😁), I cannot wait to celebrate and support your upcoming and future projects ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
as an asian american (f18) I grew up watching Eugene in inspiration. I found he was relatable and a great representation of what I thought was a person who pursues their passion and can manage a life outside of it. I love you Eugene, thank you for your years at the Try Guys!! I will forever still look for your face in all thumbnails.
As much as we love Eugene, we all knew that deep down he was meant to do greater things beyond the Try Guys. This, to me didn’t feel like a goodbye, but rather a “see you soon.”
Hell yes, absolutely!
Kind of rude to say greater. He even touched on that in the vid. But meant for a different space, yes.
@micahruthie I agree, "other" or "further" would've been better.
❤❤
@@micahruthie there are absolutely greater things than RUclips to a lot of people. It’s simply a matter of option.
I think most people knew this was coming, but it’s still hard to hear. Wish you nothing but the best Eugene - you’re destined for such great things❤
You took the words right out of my mouth. 💜
He was hardly appearing in videos anymore!
❤❤❤
Couldn’t have said it better myself :)
😭👍
I'm so unbelievably proud of Eugene. He's doing amazing things and i can't wait to see them. He's always been the odd one out of the group, even from the very beginning we knew he wanted to be the man behind the screen. He stayed so long for us and I'm so grateful for the times we've had with him. It's been an honor getting to know him all these years with what he was willing to share with us. I'm sad to see him go, but he deserves to work on things that make him the most happy and not feel obligated to share himself with the world. He didn't owe us anything, but gave us everything he could, and I feel so lucky that I've had the opportunity to appreciate him over the years. I've watched their content since the beginning, from buzzfeed to starting their own channel together, and every step since, and I will forever be grateful that I got to share this journey with them. Thank you, Eugene, for everything.
as someone who's always looked up to eugene since childhood and has been on the try guys journey since at least 2016, i'm so proud of how far he's come. for a few years i've known this was bound to happen but i'm endlessly grateful that eugene has mustered up the courage that he's always had, to do what truly fuels him as an individual. he will always be a try guy no matter how far or whatever amazing project he's focused on. love you forever
This feels like a graduation, rather than a departure. I cried, laughed and smiled throughout. Thank you Eugene for the ten years of you. Even though this will be your last season, the reunions will be beautiful and to be honest, the Try Guys and Eugene. Their journey is never ending. Its a new beginning .
love this ❤ totally agree
Love this idea
Yes this! This is his chance to soar onto a different path.
Yes. This 100%
oh my god, you're right. Except graduations never made me cry lol
So disappointed that Keith and Zach didn’t sit on his lap when they went in for the hug.
Fr tho... I was expecting that from Keith.
I don't know why I was expecting it 😂
I was crying and this made me laugh 😂😭. Thank you.
I was fully expecting this!
That’s what I said!
From buzzfeed to now we are so proud of you. A very bittersweet moment, but you have such big things ahead and we are all thrilled to continue being in your corner
Been a long time fan, 10 years and hopefully many more to come. I grew up with a very hard, emotionally distant, militant father. Eugene, you wouldn't know it, but you helped me confront that closed-off, emotional side of myself. I've been more open with myself and my feelings as I've watched you grow and do the same. You are a national effing treasure and deserve to be treated like one.
So run, Eugene. Run like the goddamn wind and we will be here, catching the aerials and watching the pictures you leave in the dust.
12:35 whoever said "you owe us" an explanation, GFY. He's allowed to have a personal life and secrets, and he's more than allowed to not say anything he doesn't want to.
The entitlement people feel about anyone famous is wild to me SMH
I think that many people have been guilty of that on occasion. Seeing Eugene on video with his fellow Try Guys and staff made people want to know more about him. I, at one point, wished that Eugene would explore video games that tell amazing stories since video games have become cinematic for over a decade or two. We fans eventually learn to respect boundaries, of course. Preferably the easy way.
Parasocial relationship hell is here and we're all stuck in it
gfy? I feel this is a result of "parasocial relationship" audiences think they have.
THIS!! im very grateful to get a clear explanation but he doesn't owe us anything
Eugene came up to the balcony during the try guys tour years ago to see the wheelchair section and held my hands for the longest time. He truly loves and takes care of the fans! Eugene, take care of yourself too! We love you!
Eugene holding someones hand? we know how much that means
Wow. What a special experience that must have been. I know Eugene has a hard time expressing himself, but it’s obvious how genuine of a person he is.
That's so awesome! Even more reason to appreciate him!
@@pvic6959 lol exactly! He even knelt down! 🩷
@@lindsayschmidt2177 it was! him kneeling down and holding my hands really made me feel seen for the first time in a long time! 🩷
I don’t think I fully understood this video until I saw the TryPod episode. Thank you for staying so long, Eugene, and I’ll be glad to see you appear again when you want to!
This is the most genuine sign off video I’ve ever seen…
Dear Eugene,
You are such a wonderful Try Guy, and you’ll always be a Try Guy. Your legacy at 2nd Try will live on, and we will never forget the impact you made on us. Thank you for always shining bright in your career!
Here’s to your future ahead!
honestly the relationship that Eugene establishes in this video of knowing that he doesn’t owe anyone an explanation but just purely wants to tell the viewers out of respect for their devotion and time is really wonderful. so glad he is prioritizing himself and I feel thankful for his words.
100% agree. I'm grateful that Eugene's focusing on himself and that, despite owing no one an explanation, he took the time to explain things for us anyway. Eugene is an aspiration to strive for, and I wish him so much luck in all his future endeavors, artistic or otherwise
4:37 "I'm trying to express AFFECTION" literally Eugene is peak Capricorn energy 😂
Almost similar to how Toph Beifong from Avatar: The Last Airbender shows affection.
I met Eugene once at a bar. Well.. it was my friend who forced the meet cause I was too shy to speak to him. It was interesting, Eugene is a sweetheart but I’m a Virgo and he’s a Cap so the meeting wasn’t too long 😢😂
@@paulinarodier7999oh my god... i'm also a cap and my chemistry with most every virgo has always been weird
@@espressoghoulette my mom and sisters are Caps, my moon is Cap and I love all earth signs actually, but I just get weirdly starstruck and shy with strangers 😂 best believe I spent weeks after meeting Eugene thinking about all the things I could’ve said and didn’t
@@paulinarodier7999 Greetings. I'm a Libra, so I wonder how Eugene and I would get along if he and I ever cross paths. He *DID* mention that he liked Libras in that zodiac video way back in 2019.
That was the most beautiful heartfelt goodbye I've ever seen. Good luck in everything you do Eugene!!!
This is by far the best goodbye anyone has ever seen from social media. We thank you Eugene, and all you have done. I truly wish you the best and will continue to support you and the try guys. Thank you for all that you guys have done and sacrificed.
🩵🩵🩵 I've felt this one coming for a while
Yeah…
Yeah, same.
sadly :(
Same goodluck Eugene 😊
Yes 😢
“Don’t be sad that it’s over, be happy that it happened” cheers to both Eugene and 2nd Try’s future
That’s soo trye
I'm literally bawling! I'm so proud of him! It's been a joy to watch Eugene develop as a person and to see how true to himself he is and how well he articulates that journey. An absolute inspiration and I'm so excited to see where his art takes him. I'm sad, but I couldn't be happier for him.
Eugene, I've watched you all grow as a team and as creators since you started out at that one company...and it's been an incredible journey. In the inevitable process of any fan finding That One Guy they bond with the most in a cast of creators, you were someone who I related to deeply. Not to parasocialize but seeing you really taking off feels like a victory for so many of us -- but namely, for you, and I'm so excited.
I'll miss the specific rapport you had with the guys but it's awesome to know you're finally able to embrace the creative path you really, truly want to follow. I know Zach and Keith are gonna keep doing amazing and fun stuff on this channel with all the faces we've grown to love over the last few years.
It'll sound parasocial but I feel proud of Eugene. He went from someone who had to be the best at everything to being the best at being himself. It's not sad he's leaving because he's going to be the person he wants to be. Thank you for entertaining us for 10 years Eugene!
^^^ this part! He's grown into himself so much since the Buzzfeed days. From being a staunch perfectionist to taking risks and being comfortable in his own skin, I'm so so proud of him.
ive never seen him so emotional and oof. im glad hes being the person he wants to be
this^^^^ you nailed it, he is absolutely the best at being himself

Beautifully said
As a private person and a writer, I find it refreshing he's opened up about needing space and time for his true self to flourish. Of course it's not about us, it's about him as it should be. Love you Eugene. You definitely made me laugh and cry. Peace.
Agreed! I think it’s important for people to see his journey because some may have never considered that some people might not thrive online and that’s ok!
this exactly!!
Thank you Eugene, thank you for being vulnerable and so transparent, so REAL! I, too, am going through major changes in my life, we can do hard things. I'm so proud of you and can't wait to experience all of your upcoming projects!! Love you FOREVER!
As a fan of yours from the very beginning, and a patreon supporter from the very start! I must say that you never once disappointed me when you were away doing other things. Though I've missed you and I'm sure I'll continue to do so, I have always been proud and hopeful for you and your future as you started to pursue things off of this channel. I cannot wait to see your works and experience your soul but most of all I cannot wait to see how far you'll go. Know that you'll always have an extra family here even if we never meet again. Love, one person (of many) who has changed for the better thanks to you.
I'm glad Eugene did a formal goodbye and it wasn't just an instagram post or whatever. I thought he was going to leave years ago so the fact he stuck around this long was a gift. Can't wait to see what he does in the future
Honestly, for a fan, you guys handled this whole thing so well. No drama. All the great new members. Still having content with Eugene for us to watch. Just so perfect. I’ve been here since the beginning and just wow. So impressed.
Exactly, if anything I'm even more excited now! A whole Try fam *and* queer fiction fantasy? Win-Win
yeah there's no reason for drama. People move on and that can be good
I saw this coming. He had so much going on I was surprised he could do it all. I will be watching for the books and any other writings you create. Thank you for being such an amazing example and true show of finding who you are to your core.
Couldn't be more proud of Eugene. I've watched them at my lowest and stayed through theirs and nothing makes me happier than watching them flourish. I've rooted for you guys since the beginning and I will continue to do so in your new endeavors. Forever grateful for you 💐
Does anyone else almost not feel worthy of his vulnerability, it felt so so so precious and such an honour to recieve. We love you yoo, Eugene, and we will miss you and also wish you ALL the best.
100%
No, it's just a guy talking.
Always.
Top 5 Eugene moments:
1. Coming out video. I still watch it every year to this day.
2. Sit in my lap
3. When he babysat Wesley and said he’d fight for that baby and overtook Keith in babysitting duties.
4. His impressive bread making skills in the first “without a recipe”.
5. This.
Go enjoy RUclips retirement. I know all the projects you have coming up are going to be amazing! Thank you!
The lap sitting video is literally perfect thank you for reminding me hahahaahaa
for me i always think about his heavy boozy pie with the rosettes that they said was more of a cocktail 😂
Also, Asian of chaos. 💜💜💜
i loved the videos where they realised things and resoected others from a true view. Whenever I go "be irresponsible" i recall the first educational drinking video. The motherhood and elderly videos, the drag video, how every new aspect helped them not only try, but to understand. I'm looking forward to how the channel will continue to thrive, because i trust that the guys added amazing, beautiful people.❤
When Zach and Keith broke into his house and made Eugene take care of them as if they were babies.
He was always such a good sport
Omg Eugene, I was so emotional throughout the whole video. I have been here since the Buzzfeed days when I was in middle school and now I am about to turn 21. I cannot believe time has passed in front of us and we are witnessing an end to a beautiful fun chapter. Thank you Eugene for being here with us all these years. Words cannot express the memories I made alongside you, I am so thankful to have been able to witness this era from beginning to end. You were and are such a beautiful friend to us and you will forever be a Try Guy and we love you very much!!!! I cannot wait to see your future projects and see this next chapter begin!!!! As you said endings are bittersweet, but daring to except change is hard but going to be worth it!!!! Sending so much love and my hugs (yes I said hugs) to you!!!!! Thank you for making this chapter of being a Try Guy amazing, fun, creative, and iconic!!!!! We will always be here for you
I'm 13 rn and my older sister, and I have been watching the try guys for about eight years now so to say that they raised me it's kind of an understatement😅 I can confidently say that a large reason I am the way I am is because of them and I will always cherish Eugene forever as a try guy and he's the best guncle I could have ever asked for 😭 although this is the third time I'm watching this video, I'm still sobbing just as hard as the first. Eugene, thank you for being the best ever and I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future! ❤️🥹
The laundry list of upcoming projects from Eugene made my heart swell!! YOU GO GET 'EM, EUGENE! Show Hollywood and the world how amazing and genius we already knew you were!
For absolute sure, I am looking forward to seeing his projects when they come out (heh).
That part was kind of insane to me caue I was like what ALL AT THE SAME TIME? Its kind of insane he didn't already leave bc how can you juggle all of that
@@idontneedaname318 you cant thats why he's been ostensibly gone for multiple years already just unofficially
Eugene shedding genuine tears just shows you how much he’s grown. Dude, go shine and be the best version of you, absolutely. As an Asian male myself, I’m very grateful that someone like Eugene is a voice for our community and I understand that desire and importance of for privacy. Not goodbye, just see you later 🖤❤️
I’m so late to this bc i didn’t want to say goodbye but i’m so glad i watched this. Thank you Eugene for giving all of us closure, I can only imagine how hard it was to open up this way. We love you and wish you all the prosperity possible in your endeavors❤️❤️❤️
"should we do the whole three guys one couch?" "No" beautiful 😂
"And as a guy who still has a lot to try, i know we'll meet again"
I barely held on until that moment and then i started sobbing
I can hardly wait to see your latest creative endeavors. You made me laugh, often, and cry sometimes and my admiration for you grew dramatically when you came back to stand beside your friends in that time of crisis. May the Universe continue to shower you with inspiration and new experiences. (P.S. That red dress ... chef's kiss.)
Every step of Eugene's creative journey has been amazing to witness. I relished each step of his growth, crying at his coming out video, cheering seeing him at the met gala, and laughing with the show Nimona. Even though he is formally leaving the channel I look forward to seeing him try more activities and projects in the future. Love and appreciate you Eugene!
Eugene doesn’t owe us anything. He gave us his dedication for the past 10yrs and we’re grateful for every moment. Those future reunions will be wonderful and cherished. Wish you the best in your endeavors, it’s our time to support you since you’ve supported us. Thank you Eugene.
I remember thinking how much Eugene seemed to thrive in fashion, film, and art rather than the open comedy skit scene. I'm so happy he's making decisions for himself to allow himself to grow into what he truly wants and finds joy in. I've always rooted for you Eugene and I could never say this to you irl but I hope to continue to see you shine in the places you shine brightest!!!
This made me less sad than I expected. I’m upset we won’t see him as much but god am I happy he’s doing what he loves. We love you Eugene and wish you the best ❤
I finally gathered the strength to watch this video. I've been avoiding it because I was scared to close this chapter, even though I knew it was coming. Zach, Keith, and Eugene have taught me so much-how to love myself, how to communicate, and how to form my own opinions. Your videos have been a constant source of support and inspiration.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to watch (almost) all of your videos. You all have been there for me through various times, and for that, I want to say thank you.
Especially to Eugene, thank you so much! I wish you all the best-you've got this!
It feels like that episode of blue's clues when Steve left for college, heartbreaking, bittersweet but exited for all the new adventures
We *don't* deserve a comprehensive explanation. Eugene doesn't *owe* us anything, but it's incredibly kind of him to share this with us, to bare his soul and say a sentimental goodbye when he doesn't have to. I personally am SO excited to see his writing and directing and everything else he's passionately working on come to light, and I'm glad he'll have more time to actually invest in the things that are closest to his heart.
I'm also glad to see The Try Guys and Second Try grow and change in a way that gives them creative freedom, untethered from the increasingly impossible chase of trying to follow an algorithm and base so much of a company's finances off of ad revenue. I haven't decided yet whether the subscription service will be worth it for me, but I don't in the slightest have a problem with their decision, and I look forward to seeing what comes of the new creative freedom and more diverse cast.
On one hand you are right that he doesn't "owe" anyone anything. But he became a huge inspiration especially for young Asians and LGBTQ people that dropping out without saying anything could have been damaging. I think he understood he had a responsibility to those who saw him as a positive role model and source of hope which just shows how much of a wonderful human he is.
youve said everything i wanna say. he doesn't owe any of this and he did it and its so painful. i wish him the best always! he didnt have to say it should be okay so many times because they all foresaw how some would take it. people could really benefit from seeing people as people with complex reasons instead of wanting a list of reasons to "justify" their leaving. they wanna leave? enough justification. and if anyones gonna be rude to him they should go touch grass fr
I haven't been watching TTG as much as I've done in the past, but watching this video made me think about the amazing memories and laughter Eugene brought me as a fan in those past years. Thank you, I'm happy for you, I wish you the best, that's all I can say.
Eugene, you will always be my favourite and I have always loved the fact that you were emotionally guarded but so sincere and so artistic and SO funny.
The whole serious person doing funny stuff is kind of my favourite trope haha
I’m so proud of you for doing what’s right for you. And I’m so proud to have spent these 10 years getting to laugh with you and the other try guys.
I’m so excited to see what the future has for you because I know it’ll be bright ~
I’ll miss you! But the most important thing about caring for your favourite RUclipsrs/online personalities is prioritizing them and their mental health and their happiness.
I care about YOU (and Zack and Keith of course) more than I care about any content.
Please continue to be kind to yourself
I love you so much
I’m so grateful to have been here for many legs is this journey with you!
And I’m so excited to see what the future has in store for you 💜
Goodbye is not goodbye, it’s just until we meet again.
Love the purple, blue, and green “paper backgrounds” in the background, as well as the orange ladder, representing the two try guys eras that he was apart of 🎉🎉
Good catch! Knowing him that was VERY intentional lol ❤️
That’s insane you tied that all together
Yeah i refuse to believe it was an accident lol.
Thank you for sharing all that you have with the public! I can't imagine how brave you had to be and look up to you. Looking forward to your future projects that you are working on. Good luck!! :)
Eugene was the reason I got into watching Try Guys in the first place. I've always loved his chaos, creativity, and sheer force of presence. And while I'm a little sad to see the end of an era with his departure, I'm even more excited to see what he does in the future. His passion and talent behind the camera are just as amazing (if not even greater!) than what he brings on camera. Eugene, thank you for all that you've shared with us over the years as part of the Try Guys. You are incredible, and truly irreplaceable. I absolutely cannot wait to see what you do next!! ❤️
I expected it but it still hurts 😭😭 Kudos for this, we love you Eugene, best of luck for the future ❤
"You [...] could never be the reason I left, because you were all the reason I stayed." Spoken like a true child of divorce. That reassurance hit the most!
Thank you for everything, Eugene. See you in the movies ✨
Man, I don't know who you are, first time seeing a video of yours and just wanted to say: thank you for existing. You'll go on a new adventure I hope you enjoy it to the fullest. At the end of the day life is all about the experiences you get to live through and the lessons it teaches you. I wish you finish all your projects successfully.
You are so much more than an internet personality. You're your own person with your own abilities and hurdles you had to get through in life, which made you the person you are today.
I can't believe you inspired me to be a better person with just one video. Thank you for that.
thanks Eugene for once again making me cry like a little baby. I work at a library and am so excited for the day I see one of your books cross my desk!
Honestly comforting to hear someone accepting themselves in wanting to be less public about their life. Not something you see frequently these days
YES. I wish he said this at the start rather than at the end. I was one of those who began to sorta resent him and thought he wasn't interested in being with the rest because he was somehow better.
He doesn't owe anyone an explanation, but the context certainly is understandable and I respect him for expressing that.
TOTALLY. People obviously become VERY curious about the guy's lives because the whole brand is about being relatable and open. But if you're a private person who's working through your own stuff, that is TOUGH. And I totally get his issue with feeling like people think they're OWED time from him. He owes us nothing. I'm glad to have seen the content he was in and am glad that he's exploring different spaces that drive his creativity.
Dear Eugene, this is a masterclass of how to properly say goodbye to us your fans. You have an amazing talent and I can’t wait to see you thrive in the movie industry and in books. Thank you so much for all the times you made us laugh and learn the gay and Asian culture.
I’ve loved watching you flourish in without a recipe and without instructions! I’m equally excited to see and read your upcoming projects. Thank you for being open with us. Knowing you are doing what is best for you and your mental health makes this bittersweet end bearable. Love a longstanding fan ❤
I've never realized it, but I have been here the whole 10 years and I absolutely, fully, and truly empathize with Eugene and his story. I still deeply remember and cherish the music video he made years ago about his story. Even if he won't be in the public eye as much as he used to be, he will remain just as much of a role model to me and my story, as I'm sure he will to many others. Thank you for staying as long as you did and making an impact on so many young queers. ♥️
The fact that i’m crying over here as a casual fan….this man was born to write and make art
Total tangent, but I have to applaud the production design of this video. Eugene wearing all black to mark the end of his era, and Keith and Zach in more muted versions of their Second Try colors as if to acknowledge the melancholy of this change. The green, blue, and purple backdrops rolled up, leaning against the wall together as a sort of symbol of their continued unity and support of each other. Absolutely beautiful work top to bottom.
And the red ladder..
@@whitiewhitie4631 It's nice he's recognizing that as part of his journey on youtube, it's kinda refreshing
I’m crying more now…
the rolled up paper got me in the gut
It's really not that necessary... Americans are so OTT
I am so proud of you, Eugene! I have been watching you guys since the buzz days, and did see this coming some time ago. I wish you so much success and absolute joy in the pursuit of your passions! We will miss you here, but look forward to seeing your creative genius play out in other mediums.
I never watched tri guys alot but had been around since the beginning. thank you so much more being around for as long as you did, it's inspiring
We will miss you Eugene!
"Kind of invented the couch, but, okay, whatever." - Keith giving Eugene sass till the very end! 😂
I did not expect to find myself so emotional watching this, your words are so profound Eugene and I appreciate you so much for you bringing yourself to help us grow as much as you have grown from us. It has been years since I began watching your art through RUclips and I honestly cannot wait to support your journey further even if it's just as a consumer. Much love Eugene❤
WOOOO SO PROUD OF EUGENE!!! Wish him the best of luck for the future!! Can’t wait to support him in his future endeavors!!!
Omg the purple, blue, and green together, and the red ladder away from them 😂😂😂
That’s so ingenious and subtle oh my god
I’m pretty sure it’s the 3 colours at the back to represent the old logo and the orange to represent the new one. As in showing both the try guys eras he was in
Wait what's up with the ladder?
@@giovannadiaz1917 red was ned's color. He left because he was fired and cheated on his wife.
"Fuck, I´m not supposed to cry!" Me too Eugene, me too. Thanks for everything!
I'm so happy for you Eugene. I know that this was coming but I'm glad a video was made for it. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and I hope to enjoy your movies in the future. I'm sure you will make a wonderful director.
Change is excruciatingly painful, I’m going through it myself. Thank you for sharing.
2024 is the year of the non-toxic creators retiring on their own terms
