This and Escape the Kitchen are absolutely SOLID shows
SECONDED
AGREEEED
💯
Yes!
YESS
Wait I’m proud of how long I lasted on the bull.
You should be! 👏
Me too! I would’ve been bucked off immediately
How's the hip?
I'm proud of you too. You had great form. It's hard to do!
As you should be!!!!
Kwesi panicking and going 'keith I don't listen!' is everything haha
I related so hard lmao
na that drove me crazy
Fifi here! Thanks for letting me help and join in on the fun. You guys were so awesome!!! ❤
F*** you but also love you 😇
You’re an absolute legend for that. Iconic behavior.
Loved your energy!! You deserve nothing but the best, queen ❤
Your energy felt so infectious and fun, nothing but the best for you queen!
Girlie you were so much fun in this, you have the best energy
My brother was the groom and I can say that Zach and Jonny were exactly what you want them to be--lovely, kind, and so sweet. They even stayed for the family photos at the end. We were honored to have them join us!!
That's a lovely wedding bonus present. Congrats and may your union be long and fruitful❤❤❤❤
How funnnnnnnnnnn you guys are so lucky
adorable moment
@@SEANALPURVIS Aw, thank you!
@@munnak3695 It was crazy but so much fun! It still feels surreal. :)
All of the different people helping (the taxi driver that stayed with Keith and Kwesi, the wedding attendants, the ladies that helped Zach learn how to gamble, the groups of people trying to help do the party bus task (especially the girl who also ran around the casino after helping to find a bachelorette party), the amusement park employee who gave them a free hour of rides, the people who rode in the limo) were all so kind and heartwarming! Finding friends everywhere!!!
I love when humanity is great!!! 🥰
I know it was so sweet!! Made me smile :')
Best parts
I was the one running around to help find the bachelorette party. They were so cool and kind and fun! Literally exactly as they seem online. Such a fun experience 🤗
Makes me want to see them do this in the Midwest! I bet the people would be so fun
PLS MAKE THIS A SERIES!! i can totally see y’all doing a city like new york next. as others have mentioned this pilot has an amazing race-esque vibe that is so entertaining & has the potential to get sponsors w/ the travel aspect! (also kwesi & jonny just add such an amazing energy to the show as well always enjoy when they’re in a video!)
This concept but in NY, LA, Disneyland, Disney World, Miami, Universal Studios, Six Flags, etc. Omg that would be so good to see!
They’ve done something similar in the theme parks before
@@Lafalot54 Yeah I saw but would be cool to still see!
How bout a collab with Jet Lag the Game
Big ups to the editors on this one, this must have been like 35+ hours of footage across both teams.
That's what I was thinking !
Plus all the point tallying, the graphics, etc. - well done, guys!
i thought that too! big kudos to them
YB FTW! 🙌🏻
You can check out on the description that The editor is Elliot. Kudos to Elliot!
Please please keep releasing videos where you set Zach, Keith, Kwesi, and Jonny loose in cities and theme parks and making restaurants!!! they're chaotic and my favorite!!
Yessss
That above but I also want them to go out camping, want to see their survivability and chaos😂
It reminds me a lot of try guys run a pizza place video
completely agree!!
Agreed! I laughed out loud so much. I loved this adventure and hope to see more!
Jonny's paranoia: "THEY'RE FILMING US!"
Meanwhile, they're just booking it there after enjoying the sphere
The FaceTime video call when Zach reveals that they were witness to a wedding and then they both start jamming out, absolutely hilarious. Best part of the whole freaking video. Way to setup the punch, Zach.
Keith casually winning $300 in the middle of the video, the grandmas watching “The Video”, and Jonny being a rattled Midwestern Aunt in that bathroom. This might be one of my favorite videos ever on the channel. I’m in tears. 😂😂😂
And Jonny was adorable on the bull
Top tier chaos 😂
What's part where Jonny is a rattled Midwestern aunt in the bathroom? I somehow missed that part but have to see it lol!
@@V.R.CoryArt 34:03!
@@V.R.CoryArtI was confused too but I think they are talking about when he walked in the bathroom where people were “doing it” 😳 and he just said “oh” 😂😂😂
Jonny being paranoid thinking they're filming him when no where near close to them😂
He was DRUNK 😅
Johnny was literally my anxiety voice for a solid minute XD
Jonny: They're filming us!
_Meanwhile_
Kwesi: I'm lost
Keith: I have no idea where we are
I was surprised no security talked to him or anything XD he was acting super shady looking around and putting his hood up
If you take away the context of the challenge it sounds like he’s having a full on breakdown 😅
'Fuck you, but also I love you. Can I give you a hug?' Just immaculate energy
I’m lovin the new era of the try guys with this game show format. It’s a plus adding on kwesi and Johnny to the team.
Johnny: They’re not dumb enough to be late
Kwesi and Keith: **cue dumbass face**
This was the best part / incredible editing. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Poor Jonny was becoming paranoid
To be fair, they did essentially have a 2 hour+ cushion to work with from getting the video inside the Sphere.
I didn’t expect this to affect the close score so much! Surprised there wasn’t extra hidden bonus points for team with the most money left!
Zach gambling with old ladies might have been my favorite moment in this video 😭😭
It was so cute! 😭
His smile after asking if they were a bachelorette party 🥰🥰
@@Fanney47 so so adorable!!
The fact that they watched a few videos was hilarious 😂 n cute 😊
It was really good
Kwesi's big dog energy barking and Keith's hesitant barking had me dyingggg!!28:52
Hey, that's me,! "he looks bored." You guys were hilarious, had a lot of fun meeting you
This needs to become a series in different cities!
+
Yesss
Probably a bit monthly thing
LOVE this idea!!! I second it! 🙋🏻♀️
Yesssssssss
Jonny yelling “congratulations!” While driving the lil motorcycle car, got me cracking up. I love him in the videos.
Him seriously saying his last name was "C-A-K-E-S" about keeled me over 😂😂😂y
He’s so sweet like how cute!!!
“Like multiple cakes” had me laughing too!
As a fellow chronic illness sufferer, I hope Zach was okay after all this. I know an entire day of walking/running like that would have me absolutely demolished the next day. Everyone did great tho and I was shocked it got so close!
Try Guys content has been so fun so far this year. They've definitely hit their new stride and it's clear they are enjoying the content they are making again. Love watching them explore new formats, try new series, re-vamp old ones and in general just being more authentically themselves. Proud of them to breaking out of the stale formats of the past and exploring the unknown, it's so genuine and enjoyable I am back to watching AND RE-WATCHING their videos again!
The casual cut to Keith absolutely SLAYING that open mic sent me 😭
I wanna hear the whole song, it was so good
That is one of my top 3 fave karaoke songs, I FREAKED OUT when I heard he chose that song !!!!!!!!
@@bekanimalwhats the name of that song its stuck in my head!
@@freyatrevor4684”There are worse things I could do” by Stockard Channing (Rizzo from Grease)
@freyatrevor4684 "there are worse things I could do" sung by Stockard channing playing Rizzo in greaasssee !!!! She killed it in that movie
Name: Jonny
Last Name: C.A.K.E.S
😂
“like multiple cakes”😂😂😂
I was dying 😂
@koyktty I bet Johnny still got multiple soups still stuck in his head lol
This is the comment I was looking for
I love how kwesi & Keith were drinking and eating and gambling. And Zack & Johnny did all the silly game stuff 😂 so well put together teamz
I love how strategic Jonny was in this, a perfect match with Zach
The genuine shock on Keith’s face when he learned they witnessed a wedding was perfection.
This was iconic. PLEASE make it a series!
that clip was just perfect 🤣🤣
bro the older ladies watching "What Happened" absolutely sent me 😂😂😂 this was such a blast, please make more!!
I literally scream-laughed at that part, like of all the videos they could have started with!!!
The Try Guys party with retirees! Yes please!
I LOVED this. I really loved that there wasn't a clear winner. The scores were tight until the end. And I LOVE kwesi as a Try Guy. His barking in the elevator was the energy we all needed.
OMG THATS ME!! Keith and Quazi were so sweet and welcoming! Best experience
"We're flying.. Spirit airlines. Noooooo"
😂😂😂
‘We’re running out of money’ 😂😂
Johnny Cakes appearances have got expensive 😂
This is me flying spirit at the end of this month to Vegas 😭😭😭 I’m ashamed but the tickets were like $60 with paying for carryon 🥲
@@ShyiaRobinson wishing you a safe flight there and back! These planes are getting scary
It's called Spirit Airlines because that's what they take from you in exchange for your flight.
Zach’s confidence with Johnny’s anxiety is a great pairing. Also Kwesi with Keith’s tired dad energy is hilarious.
PLEASE continue this as a series! I wanna see LA, NYC, Boston!! The Jonny Kwesi Zach & Keith quartet is top tier
i love how everyone's favorites are the scavenger hunt and the escape room which are arguably by far the two most expensive/difficult to produce
I wish they could post a PDF to the Tryathalon scavenger hunt. This seems like such a fun way to explore Vegas with friends.
Genius idea, they should put the pdf on their Patreon.
I was just going to request this! It is clear that a lot of research went into the scavenger hunt.
Just pause it there and take a screenshot !
It's gon result in ppl crashing weddings.
I literally just shared this with my friends who are planning a Vegas trip. Drop the list!
This series has great potential for brand colabs like TripAdvisor, Google maps, Expedia, go city pass, Lyft, public transportation etc
It's like Amazing Race condensed down from a season, to one hectic episode, and I LOVE it!
omg what ifthis pilot was pitched just for that lol, I hope they get those sponsors!
I thought the same thing, it almost felt like a really great tourism ad
i was shocked this wasn't sponsored by the city of las vegas
"Why are you playing this?". Z" ...Because its kitties 😸" lol
kwesi saying "they're playing defense" after zach and jonny cleared out all the major points is certainly a take.
THIS is my choice for Pilot bracket. Scavenger hunts in random places across the world? Yes please!
I second this! So many of the pilots are incredible, but if I had to choose one, I'd choose this one!
i know this is probably one of the more harder pilots to make but I REALLY want this to be a series.
Doing the wordle and connections at the end of the day is so real. Team Zonny until I die. Not only did they win but they also spent the least amount of money which i’m shocked that wasn’t a hidden bonus.
I love this one. But I would love to see Eugene and Jared. Also I think you should make more scavenger hunts and do them in different cities.
11:00 The Bride: "You Know Him?"😂😂😂😂
Right - so funny
"I told you what to do!"
"KEITH I DON'T LISTEN."
Oh, Kwesi. I feel seen lol
😆😆😆
that needs to go in a Kwesi highlight reel, it's a solid gold line
He’s so precious I swear. 😂😂😂😂😂
His wife must have the patience of a saint 😂
I think my favorite part of this video was the blurry footage of Zach and Jonny giggling as they ran after Keith and Kwesi lol
Also, would love to get the full list of all the activities they had to choose from. Their staff must have done some incredible research to put all that together.
zach telling jonny about putin killing alexei navalny while filming was crazy
still dont understand how this was relevant to the fountains, really, but was surprised to hear Zach too.
и забавно, что он назвал его Алексисом ахах
Such an out of context conversation while watching a fountain show..
@@Rektien im guessing there might have been something like a memorial with flowers and his picture(s) there
I know U2 made a dedication to Navalny while performing at the Sphere.
@@Rektien i think there were probably vigils or candles or something by the fountain so jonny thought someone had died there. i had to explain the exact same thing to my aunt when we visited LA in february bc there was a similar vigil at beverly hills park so she thought someone had died there as well.
The old ladies at the casino were everything
I love when they brought up that video
Yeeees
"You bet everything and you have fun" should be on a shirt xD
I want a second channel extended cut of that part. That first lady was such a spitfire!
Something about Kwesi being off at the end just plopping down on the bed and going "Man" makes me like him even more. Super fun guy when he's on, love 'im, but that "Man" was so relatable after a long day at a park or a con or event.
johnny’s paranoia: “i think they’re filming us… no cuz that’s the technical meeting point… NOOO the lobby’s in there!… i think they’re filming me, the see me *puts up hood nervously*” 🤣🤣🤣
Patreon exclusive request: the entire video of Keith singing
Lmaooo PLEASE
I'd love to hear Zach too!
They are still here ... Where b Eugene
Please! What a fabulous song choice, too.
Yes! Please put on Second Try too!
things I learned from this:
-everything in Vegas is extortionately overpriced
-weddings in Vegas are a slightly more classy than I thought, and are probably the best deal in the city
The hotel rooms are actually incredibly low. Circus Circus is maybe $25.
My dream wedding is unironically getting married at the taco bell on the strip.
The main thing I learned from my one visit to Vegas is that, especially in full daylight, the city is way more run down and sleazy looking than you'd think. Like the restaurants and shows are all still good obviously, but the hotels that aren't really expensive are pretty mediocre at best and the various outdoor attractions are not exactly amazing. Obviously lots of people still enjoy it, but I was very underwhelmed.
"I think maggie will give me the pass" LMAOOOO
this is hands down one of the best videos of you guys.
would love anything like that, even on way smaller budget, maybe just stuff in neighbouring cities etc
imagine already having a wedding in Las Vegas hosted by Elvis, but then having a RUclips star that you randomly know show up on a motorized bike car and ask to just watch your wedding.
Keith that was an ICONIC karaoke choice
YASSS I was PSYCHED when I heard him choose that one, it is one of my top 3 fave karaoke songs everrrrrrrr
absolutely phenomenal start to finish and somehow kwesi barking was the best part
I've had 8-12 hr layovers in big cities and this is exactly the vibe of escaping the airport and trying to do as much as you fuckin can. Love it and would love to see more scavenger hunts like this
Johnny asking about geopolitics during the fountain show is actually such a slay 😂😂😂
that was hilarious, and Zach answering all Jonny's questions while still trying to happily enjoy the fountain 🤣🤣🤣
This was the best video of pilot month. Can’t wait to see more. Though I think whatever’s left of your bank should be added to your score.
Oh yeah good idea!
Ohhhh smart
Ooooh, I really like that twist
Probably not like 1 dollar a point. More like every 10 dollars 1 point rounded up
@@Tuturial464OP didn’t say it had to be $1 per point….just that it would be an exciting element of game play for the remaining funds to impact the final score.
That mini party bus is actually a clever idea. The inside was transformed nicely 👍
BY FAR my favorite new format. Jonny's energy matches Zack and Keith PERFECTLY and Keith and Kwesi make such a good combo. KEEP IT UP!!!
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF MONEY 😂
I felt that in my soul. 😂
Why go to Vegas then?
@@Tuturial464 got to spend money to make money, making content people want to watch costs money
I know that i was being sarcastic. Who knows what happened? Jonny could have made Zach another drag queen. Keith could have been shoving down ghost peppers at the clubs. Or the grannys ask about jed duller@TheMotlias
@@TheMotliasI was being sarcastic. why go to Vegas to make money. At casinos
OK But can you IMAGINE??? "Yeah Zach and Jonny from THE Try Guys was waiting at my Elvis-officiated Vegas wedding, and asked to watch?"
i was looking for this comment 😭😭 like what are the odds i’d be thrilled!!
Zach’s “yeah they killed him 😃” *snap**snap* absolutely sent me for no reason 😂
Jonny Cakes being paranoid is basically me 100% of the time
This was immensely entertaining. The added rule of, "if one group does x the other can't earn points from it" is a great touch of chaos. This formula WORKS make this a series fs
I love how diverse the videos are now that they be coming out with
I think they said they this month they would test different things. And then see what worked out well regarding views and so on. But I enjoy a lot of what they do now.
it’s pilot month!:)
@@runarandersen878same i rlly wish they kept all of them but i understand how much work goes into them so i get why they’ll only keep one 😪
Ah. I was disappointed that they haven't released a video I was interested in watching in a while.
I’m saying this as a huge fan who loves y’all so much: this is the most entertained I’ve been by one of your videos in a long time. PLEASE keep this series going, it’s SO good.
Kwesi is so polite to staff it's wonderful
Kwesi being unhinged and BARKING in the elevator 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bless up ya self
I really appreciate that even when they're in a time crunch, they still take time to meet/take pictures with fans. And I love their interactions with people who don't know who they are even more. Zach with those ladies at the casino was gold.
Ok i do have an idea if yall are continuing with this season:
Use like a Slack or any kind of app that lets u share a checklist with everyone, so anyone can check off/color texts they've done so it updates in real time. Having 3 teams can help hide who's team is where too so their locations still stay a secret. That way the teams don't waste time doing things that were already done, because i feel a bit bad when they waste money for things that the other team already did
Loved pilot month. I hope many of these make a comeback! You guys always bring the entertainment and are appreciated for that!!
Kwesi completely failing the roulette mission had me cracking up! 😂 I’d do the same, honestly. Other people would tell me how to bet and I’d be like, “Oh, OK.” 😅
I love how real he is. Keith is like “i just told you!” and ya boi just cleanly is like “i dont listen”🤷🏽♀️
Zach, Keith, Kwesi and Jonny in the City of Sin on a Scavenger Hunt....
...Am I in heaven?
This is my absolute favorite pilot! Seeing the shenanigans between friends and the delirium rise the longer they are playing is amazing 😂😂😂
The old lady teaching Zach how to gamble and telling him “you’re having a blast” is just, aw, my heart 💚
Not team KWEITH 🤣
Feel like that was all Zach's idea 😂😂
Sounds like something else
the way kwesi collapsed on bed at the end muttering “man” is how every good trip day ends
Keith singing my karaoke song was just…..perfect
Zach trying to vibe at the fountain while explaining the whole Putin thing to Johnny had me rollingggg
Saaame 😂😂
All the little moments made the video. Jonny's paranoia trying to film the other team. The random discussion of Alexei Navalny. The bartender singing four songs in a row at karaoke followed by Keith doing his best baritone cover of Rizzo. Kwesi forgetting to gamble. Jonny catching the couple in the bathroom. Incredible.
Please, please, PLEASE do more of these city scavenger hunts. Sure Vegas was EPIC- but NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland (BOTH OF THEM) would all be so fun! And you could even do a random relatively small town and do “cliche” small town things- buy something on clearance from Walmart, have lunch at a locally owned dive, visit XYZ historical landmark, go to city hall and ask to meet the mayor (or something similar), ask the local librarian for a book recommendation, donate to the local animal shelter, pet a dog at the dog park, rent a scooter (or similar), go to the skate park and tell someone to do a kick flip, …. So many OPPORTUNITIES for fun, random “on the street” content.
I also like someone’s idea of theme park scavenger hunts- kinda like the “all theme parks in one day” but more scavenger hunt themed with higher points for things that require more planning or are more rare!
This has the feel of the old vids and I am HERE for it. Perfect quartet.
Kwesi and Johnny have been such an awesome chaotic addition to the Try Guys
I love that Keith and Kwesi being together is like watching a buddy comedy movie where they go on a quirky little adventure
This brings back memories of 2010, the first and only time I went to Vegas for a long weekend. My dad had a huge business conference there, decided to make it an anniversary trip with the wife and couldn’t leave the kids at home. You can’t pay me to go back there, but it’s cool seeing some of the stuff I missed because my activities were limited only to the Strip. It’s so awesome that Zach and Johnny were able to witness a wedding there, with Elvis officiating no less. I think that was my most favorite thing in this video full of great things to see and do.
this kind of completely unscripted, interactive content (with a friendly competitive element) is where the channel and the guys excel. Please keep it up - enjoyed this video more than any in a really long time
24:20 "they are not dumb enough to be late" *cue kwesi and Keith being dumb enough to be late* 😂😂😂😂
Then Zack asking a bunch of places to stay open late for him. That's not cool.
I love how Jack Harlow was half a Celebrity, but Beyonce was, off course, 1.5 a celebrity!
OMG, I loved this! Please make this one a series. I’d love to see scavenger hunts in different cities! 😂😭
Jonny’s full paranoia in the Bellagio is iconic
This is by far the best of the pilots, even better with no Betterhelp sponsorship
Keith's song choice for karaoke was great 🤣
Ok this was SUCH a fun video and I really hope you guys do it again! This and Trolley Problems have been my favorite of the newer video ideas!
Also I really love that you guys got to meet a lot of people who were all about helping you out. It really show a lot of people are just there for a good time! Also also yes please release that list! It' such a good idea for people to do if they have no idea what they want to do in Las Vegas!
Y'all could make like 50 more of these and I'd watch every single one. This was a blast!! Big props to the editors on this one.
The moment when Keith opened the second window in Circus Circus just to see another back of a building is so cartoonic, Idk how to explain it!
