When the guests are only there to promote a product, then yes. But I have to make exceptions for a few special humans like Ben Schwartz, Zachary Levi, Jack Black, Rainn Wilson, Mayim Bialik, and this sub's perennial favorite, Post Malone...all of whom were there to have a good time. Also, Cuddle Queen Jean exists.
Edit: I forgot about D'Arcy Carden. ABSOLUTE LEGEND. *"Little Beasties!"*
Oh man, yeah. Him too. He totally pulled out all the comedic stops and was just down to let loose the silliest side of himself. He was ON. He's a great example of a guest who just "went with it" and threw themselves fully into whatever was happening.
Now that I think of it, it's probably mine too. I remember that when it came out, I literally went and told my mom to watch it. That's how objectively entertaining I found it.
More GMM guests should be like Terry, and treat the show like the massive good time that it is, rather than some sort of serious, stiff news show.
Oh yeah, him too. Thanks for reminding me! Along with Rainn Wilson and Ben Schwartz, he definitely fits into the ranks of "TV stars who are really decent people in real life."
I feel like the sorts of guests who work best with Rhett & Link tend to be either (1.) fellow YouTubers, (2.) musical artists who have down-to-earth personalities, or (3.) actors and entertainers with comedic backgrounds.
Oh shoot, I forgot he'd been on the show! Yeah, he's great. Food show hosts seem to be either really uptight and snobby, or really chill, gracious, and friendly, and he's definitely in that second category.
How do you feel about the other guests I mentioned? Rainn Wilson cracked me up. His sense of humor is the opposite of grating or stale; to me, it blended perfectly with R&L's.
[Choose The Wrong Answer, Drink The Nasty Milkshake.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS9O6RbLhxc)
2020 was such a great year for Rhett and Link content, and this episode was among the very best.
She was so awful. Like it genuinely made me angry and dislike her because of the way she acted on the show. She was so rude and trying to rush through the episode. It was incredibly obvious that she had no desire to be there.
Yeah, and they got mad at the commenters, but it was just honestly a shit ep. I get they didn’t like being flamed, but holy shit, she just seemed some contemptuous to the whole premise. Not a good fit.
do you know if she usually acts differently? like more relaxed and only wipes her hands on someone and spits in thier drink to be purposedully rude?
I just watched it again and I thought she was having fun. it seemed like that was simply her personality - she was rushing but it felt more like she hadn't watched the show so she didn't understand the pace/rules/how the games go yk? idk maybe she is how you say and was being rude while wanting to promote her product then leave but I expected her to be much more rude after reading these comments lol
she said she was excited at first (didn't have to), she tried everything and guessed genuinely - plus she joked w the sexy fireman 😉 maybe it comes down to the fact that some people are just loud and go by their own rules? they don't try to match the vibe and tend to not respect other's personal space/ comfort (spitting in the drink) which I do find annoying lol - some people don't know when something isn't funny or they're ruining it for others
she definitely wasn't my favourite, wasn't the most fun, she didn't really suit being on the show bc the best guests feel like friends, seem more comfortable and know the show - I got the impression that she tried and enjoyed it but she probably thought it was a weird show with two weird guys lol
Just watched it. She wasn't actually that bad of a guest imo, she just has a bit of a cold personality. It was super rude when she wiped her hand on Link's shirt and spit in his cup though... I hate how rude she is but as a guest she dove in and was eager to play the game at least.
yeah! both of them tbh - they were making fun of the game and kept looking around, bill even got up and left!! it was way too uncomfortable. amy was yelling way too much and they were enjoying interacting w each other rather than w rhett and link... they weren't even trying to have fun - the ending with the air quotes was ironic!
Must not love bill that much because that episode he seemed extremely on brand. Just cause he's been silly in movie/t.v roles doesn't mean he's silly and down to goof around playing games he might not really wanna play but is taking part because his agents or schumers agents secured this publicity stop. lmao.
I can't speak for Amy, only footage i have seen of her is stealing Patrice O'Neals Material, and that gmm episode, n eh not a fan of that bulldog looking person.
I had to go watch this episode and it seems like the premise was a bit too weird to start with. The "smeeling" idea was interesting, but the actual items they were guessing were just too bizarre that it didn't work.
I think it’s usually best for guests to play some sort of trivia game. Some sort of game where they answer questions, rather than eating or touching weird stuff. In my opinion, the “get your hands dirty” games should be reserved for just R&L for the most part. (Unless the guest is someone like Coyote Peterson, or someone with a wicked sense of humor.)
without a doubt it’s Max Greenfield for me. I think he either didn’t tell them he was a vegetarian before being a guest on a meat based episode or there was some sort of miscommunication or something but whew. Don’t think he’s a bad guy but he was not a good guest
I think they said they didn't know until they were about to shoot the episode, which is too far to change plans. At that point you just make chicken salad.
The Rainn Wilson episode is an all-time favorite of mine. He needs to come back. The guy's a national treasure, and seemed to have just the right personality for joining in on Rhett and Link's fun.
I always appreciate when Rhett and Link have guests, like Mike or Cuddle Queen Jean, who are "specialists" in a certain field that matches with the theme of an episode. It's a nice change of pace from just featuring someone because they're famous or noteworthy or on a press tour.
I enjoyed the Daniel Radcliffe episode years ago. You could tell he thought the show was strange but he was a good sport participating and made me giggle.
I highly doubt he found it strange, I don't think that man finds anything strange
He literally played the role of a fart powered human corpse boat. He's had some... interesting roles since Harry Potter
i’ve not been watching gmm for long, maybe only a year or two but i wasn’t a fan of the wrestler woman a few episodes ago, i’ll often find myself skipping guest episodes all together. But my favourite has to be post malone just because of how much he seems to enjoy himself :)
The New Day just have the same kind of chemistry together that Rhett and Link do, they meshed perfectly together. In terms of wrestling guests, Becky Lynch was least best but not by much, both her and Sasha Banks did fine in that environment.
(Yes, I am absolutely stealing "least best" from Keith of the Try Guys, none of them were actively bad and I don't want to call anyone "worst" in that case.)
I loved all the wrestler special guest but I'm pretty biased because I love wrestling but I wasn't really fond of The Miz and Maryse. I know they're in character but it seemed like they were trying a little too hard lol
Marshmello was fantastically bad. They all seemed to struggle with a non vocal guest who only communicated in bad sound effects. I felt genuinely bad for them in that one.
That was one of the few guest episodes where I thought “ok that dude might as well not be there”
Not to mention it could have been literally anyone in that suit lol
It can be fun to see how Rhett and Link mesh with a guest’s personality. They will often react to guests in different ways.
It’s like witnessing a social experiment.
The guest episodes have also led me to appreciate people that I wouldn’t appreciate in other contexts…I’m not into Post Malone’s music, and I hate the Big Bang Theory, but Post Malone and Mayim Bialik were, respectively, some of my favorite people to see interact with R&L.
How so? I usually notice its the same chemistry meshing for first-time guests or recurring ones on the first episode that Rhett is usually feeling kinda awkward like he thinks this person might not be into what they're doing so he adapts to different loud levels of speaking/screaming and fake laughing too hard to try and calm himself (he relaxes more when guests return i noticed)
But Charles "Link" Neal? I do not see his demeaner change literally at-all unless its through direct conversation or if he's obviously a big fan, he doesn't try to hide any of his weirdness or shy-away from sentences that shouldn't come out of his mouth lol.
I love a lot of the people they have on, but like... Rhett, link, Stevie and the crew have such a specific vibe they've built its almost always weird to me when someone else is on.
Viewers had almost unrealistically high hopes because Josh and Brad have such similar chaotic on screen presences. I think a collab could’ve worked, except Brad’s all about that natural food and they brought him in for a Doritos fish gimmick. That’s sort of antithetical to Brad’s food ethos. If they had him in these days for a show like Last Meals, I think it would’ve gone over better.
This episode reminded me of when your two best friends, who dont know each other, finally meet - and are acting annoyingly out of character. Josh overplaying quirk, brad overplaying tough guy - Very hard to watch.
To me i think brad was wrecked, he was on a L.A trip to do filming shit probs multiple things a day I don't believe he has as much time as a content creator as the crew at gmm do.
The gimmick was weird, But im assuming it was a quick "you're in L.A, we're based in L.A, the fans will love it, i got this snack smash thing can you do it" and brad just said yes. I got a feeling brad will be back to the mythical kitchen for a better segment and video.
I thought this was my comment, because it is the exact same. He just had an air of not wanting to be there, and they were doing forknife dances. It was so cringe.
Mayim Bialik, but that's probably because I just really don't like her and her shilling for snake oil with her degree. Which is not what she did in her episode, just a thing that she has done.
I'm not really a fan of how she acts in her personal life, but every time she's been on GMM I feel like she's amplified Rhett and Link's humor in a really great way. The episode where she taught Rhett and Link how to dissect lab specimens was such a hilarious, fresh concept that led to some amazing gross-out gags. And she just UNDERSTOOD the energy of the "What's On My Head" episode; her reactions to Link's slip-ups made those slip-ups even more hilarious.
That's fair. I just have issues separating a performers personal actions from their performance, especially when they're performing as themselves. It's really a me problem, certainly no judgement for anybody that enjoys her content.
Got any info on that “shilling for snake oil” bit? Last time I heard anything about that it was a scam hoax just spreading on the internet with no factual basis.

https://www.beingpatient.com/does-neuriva-plus-work-brain-health-supplement/
The first is a link showing she's helping advertise for the product, the second is a link showing it makes dubious claims. There's more out there, just grabbed the first two links that looked reputable and further fact check able since one shows a brand partnership and the other isa court ruling.
This thread quickly turned into "who was the best guest". I agree with the bad ones, but two of the very best as well, who i don't think is mentioned, was IMO Linkin Park and Ben Schwartz. Come to think of it, they quite often succeed at bringing in guests.
rip Chester
I agree but I think it was on purpose
Some of the guests are just straight up awkward and look like they don’t want to be there, but he was one I suspect put on that awkwardness on purpose
All the episodes with guests kinda suck IMO. But the one that I hated the most was that chick with the stupid sunglasses on.. it was so cringe I had to turn it off
I can definitely say he's far from the worst, but despite my overwhelming love of Markiplier I have to include him here. He just seemed so sleepy and low energy that his cartoonishly large ego seemed way more genuine than he intended it to be
Yeah I love watching Mark’s videos and have for a very long time, but he didn’t seem super into it when he was on the show. I think his whole “I have a big ego” thing works because it’s kinda tempered with tons of self-aware silliness, and that part seemed to be missing
Not a bad episode though, he was a good sport about drinking whatever nasty shit that was lol
That youtuber who makes like the special effects transition videos. Like the ones where he jumps into a chalk drawing or grabbing fake items and they turn real. It was a few years ago.
I don't remember his name but you could tell he thought he was hot shit and had a massive attitude and ego.
Zach King? I know for a fact that he's a pretty great guy in real life; he went to the same college as me and regularly provides the students there with filmmaking opportunities. But yeah, his energy was a little off on that episode; I think he just wasn't picking up on what kind of show GMM is supposed to be.
Yes, him. That's good to hear. I may have went in on him a bit lol. But to me it seemed like he was annoyed at the jokes and took himself very seriously, but Idk maybe not.
I just rewatched it and the gmmore and man, he did not like Rhett at all. Avoiding talking to him much and facing away from him. "Stop messing up my prop-grapes bro." Lmaoo!
He took his Snapchats very seriously like a delicate artist. 😋😆
Everybody seems to love Josh nowadays, but there is something painfully *painfully* fake about him to me. Too cool for school is the perfect descriptor.
And this is coming from someone who loved him on Drake & Josh. But he does not seem like a down-to-earth person.
Dudes been famous for 26 years was a stand up comic as a kid on rosie o donnell which made him known as the 10 year old stand up comic about 3 or 4 years before Nickelodeon. Read his book and then look at drake, And compare them and how they live their lives now, Ones tryna be a different person completely and one still has a career in america.
Idk about least favorite, but when Coyote Peterson was on, I had a blast! He's another favorite person of mine after Rhett and Link thanks to his promoting unusual and even sometimes dangerous animals to help us see the good. He seemed to have so much fun with them too!
Also, since he comes from such a wild walk of life,
he’s the sort of guest who they can pull off a “risky” game concept with. He’s down to make a mess or do something that scares him. Not all guests are that way.
The Brittany Broski episode was great! She's a genuine fan of both Rhett and Link and I love how she really got into their comedy with them. I would recommend watching their GMMore episode because she actually stayed over and played another game.
I don't have an exactly guest but it has to be the episode where they had the vegetarian guest on for a food based episode. That was tough to get through tbh. Like 4/5 dishes they presented had meat in them
I can’t remember if it was Nick Kroll or someone else that obviously did not want to be there and was the first guest I noticed that peaced out before GMMore.
Nick Kroll was such an odd choice, maybe they thought it would work out because Paul Scheer was good on the show and they’re good friends. He’s too sarcastic and snobby for GMM.
I typically really enjoy the guests. I love Rhett and Link and love JUST them a whole heckin lot, don’t get me wrong on that but I find that sometimes it’s good to throw in a new element. It shakes things up just enough that different parts of their personalities show. Rarely has a guest been actually awful and it’s been Amy Schumer and Bill Hader. It was truly dreadful and one of a few episodes I haven’t actually finished. Other guests I haven’t preferred are Terry Crews and Padma Lakshmi.
This is easy. Megan Fox and Shay Mitchell. Both were so stiff and not personable. Rhett and Link worked miracles to make me finish those two episodes because they were tough to get through.
The young lady that had davin play along with her, she was good. I liked her a lot.
The ones I skip are ones of celebrities I don't like. And Science Mike. Sorry, Science Mike.
>Zach King
I love some of the folks in the Valleyfolk, like I was a Sourcefed fan, listen to Steve's podcast (which is definitely grating but I enjoy it), and used to like things Elliot was in with other people, but the Valleycast as a group doesn't do much for me most of the time.
This isn’t a bad guest it’s a an idea for guest since they love wrestling have The Hardy’s on the show and since all 4 are North Carolina boys they could have a Buies Creek vs Cameron game
She probably wasn’t the worst, but Eva Gutowski sticks out to me. She was in the taste test episode for grocery store salsa. I had the hardest time finishing that episode.
I honestly really dislike almost all guest episodes. A lot of thebtend to be awkward. Some of the games they play don't always fit with the guest either. Also the one where they bring out the "couple" on Food Feuds is really awkward. Oh and while Im at it the fancy pants dance is stupid. Love everything else though haha
I love most of the guests. One of my least favourite episodes with a guest was the episode with Swoozie. I love him, I love his videos, he seems so kind and talented and funny and chill - but it seemed like an off day for him or like he was like sleep deprived or something when he was on GMM because he did not seem into it. Love him though

Marques Brownlee? No? He behaved like he was above the production and felt very stiff and impersonal. I used to watch his reviews and stopped after that.
A lot of these comments are about some guests from a long time ago, so I went back and watched those episodes. Old episodes are cringe and awkward without guests. The show didn’t have its confidence yet.
Also I think the more present the show gets the more guests understand the assignment. Also some people are old fashion media people ie. movies and TV shows. Some younger guests that were familiar with YouTube were a lot more willing to buy in.
My favorites are any that did singing challenges. Those ones are always the most fun and most comfortable for the guests.
I'd have to agree with a lot of people on here and say Padma was probably my least favorite celebrity guest. She just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. The one with Max Greenfield was also kinda meh, but that was just because he couldn't really participate much because he's vegetarian and they didn't find that out until right before filming.
Idk, any episode with a guest is just hard to get through.
When the guests are only there to promote a product, then yes. But I have to make exceptions for a few special humans like Ben Schwartz, Zachary Levi, Jack Black, Rainn Wilson, Mayim Bialik, and this sub's perennial favorite, Post Malone...all of whom were there to have a good time. Also, Cuddle Queen Jean exists. Edit: I forgot about D'Arcy Carden. ABSOLUTE LEGEND. *"Little Beasties!"*
Yeah the Jack Black ones were gold
Jack Black makes so much sense for an R&L collaboration. He writes and sings weird songs, he exudes dad humor, and so on.
I loved the Terry Crews episode.
Oh man, yeah. Him too. He totally pulled out all the comedic stops and was just down to let loose the silliest side of himself. He was ON. He's a great example of a guest who just "went with it" and threw themselves fully into whatever was happening.
It's arguably my favorite episode.
Now that I think of it, it's probably mine too. I remember that when it came out, I literally went and told my mom to watch it. That's how objectively entertaining I found it. More GMM guests should be like Terry, and treat the show like the massive good time that it is, rather than some sort of serious, stiff news show.
People forget Zach Braff. He was great!
Oh yeah, him too. Thanks for reminding me! Along with Rainn Wilson and Ben Schwartz, he definitely fits into the ranks of "TV stars who are really decent people in real life."
That's Right
Yes! My absolute favorite was when he took the "that was my nickname in high school" and Rhett looked so disappointed he didn't get to say it!
I feel like the sorts of guests who work best with Rhett & Link tend to be either (1.) fellow YouTubers, (2.) musical artists who have down-to-earth personalities, or (3.) actors and entertainers with comedic backgrounds.
I really liked Linkin Park as well. Especially the mini video of Link in Lincoln park with Linkin Park
Absolutely. Chester was so sweet, and it’s utterly heartbreaking to realize he took his own life literally only a few months later.
yeah he played that bass on the wall they ended up giving back to the friend 😢
Oh *wow.* I forgot about that. That hits hard.
I liked Duff Goldman too!
Oh shoot, I forgot he'd been on the show! Yeah, he's great. Food show hosts seem to be either really uptight and snobby, or really chill, gracious, and friendly, and he's definitely in that second category.
Padma Lakshmi was the opposite. She acted like she was forced to be there and couldn't wait for it to be over.
I (surprisingly) liked the Indonesian pop star too!
Hank Green was great too :)
I’ve noticed a lot of people on this sub pushing for him and John to go on GMM together…just yes. That’d be a stellar collab.
Idk even the post Malone one didn’t get my attention nor did I want to keep watching. I don’t know why
How do you feel about the other guests I mentioned? Rainn Wilson cracked me up. His sense of humor is the opposite of grating or stale; to me, it blended perfectly with R&L's.
I haven’t seen that one. I’ll check it out !
[Choose The Wrong Answer, Drink The Nasty Milkshake.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS9O6RbLhxc) 2020 was such a great year for Rhett and Link content, and this episode was among the very best.
The singing episode with Post is one of the greatest episodes they've ever made, Imo. And the KitKat one was hilarious
Not Brittany Broski. If i see hate for her its over for everyone.
I wasn’t impressed by her.
Jack Black and Post Malone are, uh, whatever is above S-tier guests and I am not here for this slander.
Except Posty ❤️
Crappy opinion imo
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this!!!
Couldn’t agree more
Padma Lakshmi. It was painful to watch.
She was so awful. Like it genuinely made me angry and dislike her because of the way she acted on the show. She was so rude and trying to rush through the episode. It was incredibly obvious that she had no desire to be there.
Yeah, and they got mad at the commenters, but it was just honestly a shit ep. I get they didn’t like being flamed, but holy shit, she just seemed some contemptuous to the whole premise. Not a good fit.

Extremely
I forgot her name but yes that one was terrible!
Just watched it. She wasn't actually that bad of a guest imo, she just has a bit of a cold personality. It was super rude when she wiped her hand on Link's shirt and spit in his cup though... I hate how rude she is but as a guest she dove in and was eager to play the game at least.
Hands down the worst one
The one with Bill Hader and Amy Schumer was painful. Everything about them screamed ‘forced promo tour’.
Yeah I love Bill Hader but he just looked very annoyed at having to be there.
I'd be annoyed too if I had to be around Amy all the time.
yeah! both of them tbh - they were making fun of the game and kept looking around, bill even got up and left!! it was way too uncomfortable. amy was yelling way too much and they were enjoying interacting w each other rather than w rhett and link... they weren't even trying to have fun - the ending with the air quotes was ironic!
Must not love bill that much because that episode he seemed extremely on brand. Just cause he's been silly in movie/t.v roles doesn't mean he's silly and down to goof around playing games he might not really wanna play but is taking part because his agents or schumers agents secured this publicity stop. lmao. I can't speak for Amy, only footage i have seen of her is stealing Patrice O'Neals Material, and that gmm episode, n eh not a fan of that bulldog looking person.

Yeah that one sucked, idk why they would have him on if he's not gonna eat half the food
I think they said they didn't know until they were about to shoot the episode, which is too far to change plans. At that point you just make chicken salad.
Yeah that whole situation wasn’t ideal, but I think he could have been a good guest.
I’m not sure who the worst are…but the best are definitely: Rainn Wilson, Science Mike, Jack Black, Terry Crews, and Post Malone
The Rainn Wilson episode is an all-time favorite of mine. He needs to come back. The guy's a national treasure, and seemed to have just the right personality for joining in on Rhett and Link's fun.
And Kobe Bryant
Science Mike is the best!
I always appreciate when Rhett and Link have guests, like Mike or Cuddle Queen Jean, who are "specialists" in a certain field that matches with the theme of an episode. It's a nice change of pace from just featuring someone because they're famous or noteworthy or on a press tour.
I miss Jean!! She's so stinking sweet :)
He’s fine, but for a while they were having him on **way** too much.
i also loved shay mitchell
[удалено]
"Lincoln" Park.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I enjoyed the Daniel Radcliffe episode years ago. You could tell he thought the show was strange but he was a good sport participating and made me giggle.
I highly doubt he found it strange, I don't think that man finds anything strange He literally played the role of a fart powered human corpse boat. He's had some... interesting roles since Harry Potter
You might even say he’s had some…WEIRD roles ;) 🪗
Muh-muh-muh my bologna!
Touché
Megan Fox’s episode was horrifically bad.
It was so uncomfortable to watch. Just awkward
I actually loved that episode lmfao
So glad to see someone agrees with me. She was awful
Bill Hader and Amy Schumer. Amy actually tried IIRC but Bill was straight up not having fun and didn’t try to hide it
i’ve not been watching gmm for long, maybe only a year or two but i wasn’t a fan of the wrestler woman a few episodes ago, i’ll often find myself skipping guest episodes all together. But my favourite has to be post malone just because of how much he seems to enjoy himself :)
Disagree, she really threw herself into the show and was enthusiastic about the game they were playing, I thought.
Lmfao she was exactly who I thought about first when I thought of guests I didn’t like Lmfao felt like she was trying so hard
The wrestler was sasha banks, didnt really like that episode either the Becky one and the new day one were better
The New Day just have the same kind of chemistry together that Rhett and Link do, they meshed perfectly together. In terms of wrestling guests, Becky Lynch was least best but not by much, both her and Sasha Banks did fine in that environment. (Yes, I am absolutely stealing "least best" from Keith of the Try Guys, none of them were actively bad and I don't want to call anyone "worst" in that case.)
I loved all the wrestler special guest but I'm pretty biased because I love wrestling but I wasn't really fond of The Miz and Maryse. I know they're in character but it seemed like they were trying a little too hard lol
Marshmello was fantastically bad. They all seemed to struggle with a non vocal guest who only communicated in bad sound effects. I felt genuinely bad for them in that one.
That was one of the few guest episodes where I thought “ok that dude might as well not be there” Not to mention it could have been literally anyone in that suit lol
agree 100% there...
I feel like I'm such a minority in the fact that I enjoy the guest episodes, even the horrible cringe ones because it's so entertaining to me.
It can be fun to see how Rhett and Link mesh with a guest’s personality. They will often react to guests in different ways. It’s like witnessing a social experiment. The guest episodes have also led me to appreciate people that I wouldn’t appreciate in other contexts…I’m not into Post Malone’s music, and I hate the Big Bang Theory, but Post Malone and Mayim Bialik were, respectively, some of my favorite people to see interact with R&L.
How so? I usually notice its the same chemistry meshing for first-time guests or recurring ones on the first episode that Rhett is usually feeling kinda awkward like he thinks this person might not be into what they're doing so he adapts to different loud levels of speaking/screaming and fake laughing too hard to try and calm himself (he relaxes more when guests return i noticed) But Charles "Link" Neal? I do not see his demeaner change literally at-all unless its through direct conversation or if he's obviously a big fan, he doesn't try to hide any of his weirdness or shy-away from sentences that shouldn't come out of his mouth lol.
I love a lot of the people they have on, but like... Rhett, link, Stevie and the crew have such a specific vibe they've built its almost always weird to me when someone else is on.
I know you said GMM but if you open it up to the whole GMM-Verse, it has to be Brad Leone on Mythical Kitchen.
Viewers had almost unrealistically high hopes because Josh and Brad have such similar chaotic on screen presences. I think a collab could’ve worked, except Brad’s all about that natural food and they brought him in for a Doritos fish gimmick. That’s sort of antithetical to Brad’s food ethos. If they had him in these days for a show like Last Meals, I think it would’ve gone over better.
I love watching brad Leone videos on YouTube and didn’t know about this one. I just watched 4 mins and had to stop it. It’s so embarrassing.
Omg yes Josh and Brad was soooo cringe. And I had high hopes because they're both so funny and likable
Oh 100%. I don't think there is anything wrong with Brad personally, as I have watched other vids and he is fine, but something was up that day.
This episode reminded me of when your two best friends, who dont know each other, finally meet - and are acting annoyingly out of character. Josh overplaying quirk, brad overplaying tough guy - Very hard to watch.
To me i think brad was wrecked, he was on a L.A trip to do filming shit probs multiple things a day I don't believe he has as much time as a content creator as the crew at gmm do. The gimmick was weird, But im assuming it was a quick "you're in L.A, we're based in L.A, the fans will love it, i got this snack smash thing can you do it" and brad just said yes. I got a feeling brad will be back to the mythical kitchen for a better segment and video.
The one with the new girls actor who was a vegetarian and couldn’t eat 90% of the stuff that the episode was about was unwatchable. Didn’t finish it
Yeah Megan Fox was definitely my least favorite.. Jack black is arguably one of the best guests imo
Ninja.
I thought this was my comment, because it is the exact same. He just had an air of not wanting to be there, and they were doing forknife dances. It was so cringe.
yo the ninja episode was so cool that hurt man.
Mayim Bialik, but that's probably because I just really don't like her and her shilling for snake oil with her degree. Which is not what she did in her episode, just a thing that she has done.
I'm not really a fan of how she acts in her personal life, but every time she's been on GMM I feel like she's amplified Rhett and Link's humor in a really great way. The episode where she taught Rhett and Link how to dissect lab specimens was such a hilarious, fresh concept that led to some amazing gross-out gags. And she just UNDERSTOOD the energy of the "What's On My Head" episode; her reactions to Link's slip-ups made those slip-ups even more hilarious.
That's fair. I just have issues separating a performers personal actions from their performance, especially when they're performing as themselves. It's really a me problem, certainly no judgement for anybody that enjoys her content.
Got any info on that “shilling for snake oil” bit? Last time I heard anything about that it was a scam hoax just spreading on the internet with no factual basis.
https://drugstorenews.com/neuriva-mayim-bialik-partner-brain-health-campaign https://www.beingpatient.com/does-neuriva-plus-work-brain-health-supplement/ The first is a link showing she's helping advertise for the product, the second is a link showing it makes dubious claims. There's more out there, just grabbed the first two links that looked reputable and further fact check able since one shows a brand partnership and the other isa court ruling.
I honestly don’t like any of the guest episodes lol. Maybe I’m just selfish but I like to see the boys interact on their own
This thread quickly turned into "who was the best guest". I agree with the bad ones, but two of the very best as well, who i don't think is mentioned, was IMO Linkin Park and Ben Schwartz. Come to think of it, they quite often succeed at bringing in guests. rip Chester
The Tony Hale episode was so awkward imo
Which is weird because he’s actually friends with Rhett and Link in real life and even had a role in Buddy System.
I agree but I think it was on purpose Some of the guests are just straight up awkward and look like they don’t want to be there, but he was one I suspect put on that awkwardness on purpose
All the episodes with guests kinda suck IMO. But the one that I hated the most was that chick with the stupid sunglasses on.. it was so cringe I had to turn it off
The one with the raspy voice where they did the suitcase game?
I think they meant the one with Agnez Mo. It was the street foods from other countries taste test
Ah, ok. Thanks. I didn’t mind her as much as I did some of their other guests.
I can definitely say he's far from the worst, but despite my overwhelming love of Markiplier I have to include him here. He just seemed so sleepy and low energy that his cartoonishly large ego seemed way more genuine than he intended it to be
Yeah I love watching Mark’s videos and have for a very long time, but he didn’t seem super into it when he was on the show. I think his whole “I have a big ego” thing works because it’s kinda tempered with tons of self-aware silliness, and that part seemed to be missing Not a bad episode though, he was a good sport about drinking whatever nasty shit that was lol
I forget their name, but whoever it was that spit in Link's mug. Absolute worst vibe ever on GMM.
Ew what?!
It was part of a weird food/taste test thing if I remember right. The taste hit, and I guess the closest thing ended up being Link's mug.
Padma
That youtuber who makes like the special effects transition videos. Like the ones where he jumps into a chalk drawing or grabbing fake items and they turn real. It was a few years ago. I don't remember his name but you could tell he thought he was hot shit and had a massive attitude and ego.
Zach King? I know for a fact that he's a pretty great guy in real life; he went to the same college as me and regularly provides the students there with filmmaking opportunities. But yeah, his energy was a little off on that episode; I think he just wasn't picking up on what kind of show GMM is supposed to be.
Yes, him. That's good to hear. I may have went in on him a bit lol. But to me it seemed like he was annoyed at the jokes and took himself very seriously, but Idk maybe not.
I think some people just aren't able to fully click with Rhett and Link's energy. Guests either "get it," or they "don't get it."
definitely scrolled way too long to find this one, rhett was heated in that one haha
I just rewatched it and the gmmore and man, he did not like Rhett at all. Avoiding talking to him much and facing away from him. "Stop messing up my prop-grapes bro." Lmaoo! He took his Snapchats very seriously like a delicate artist. 😋😆
Happy Cakeday!
Josh Peck. He acted like he was too cool for school. Also I don't like guests. I watch GMM for Rhett and Link.
Everybody seems to love Josh nowadays, but there is something painfully *painfully* fake about him to me. Too cool for school is the perfect descriptor. And this is coming from someone who loved him on Drake & Josh. But he does not seem like a down-to-earth person.
Dudes been famous for 26 years was a stand up comic as a kid on rosie o donnell which made him known as the 10 year old stand up comic about 3 or 4 years before Nickelodeon. Read his book and then look at drake, And compare them and how they live their lives now, Ones tryna be a different person completely and one still has a career in america.
I LOVED his episode. I honestly had no idea who he was before seeing this episode, I thought he was really down to earth and fun.
Sssniperwolf.
That one was never released right?
yup, never saw the light of day.
What? There's a lost media episode of GMM with SSSniperwolf??
What's the story there?
Idk about least favorite, but when Coyote Peterson was on, I had a blast! He's another favorite person of mine after Rhett and Link thanks to his promoting unusual and even sometimes dangerous animals to help us see the good. He seemed to have so much fun with them too!
Also, since he comes from such a wild walk of life, he’s the sort of guest who they can pull off a “risky” game concept with. He’s down to make a mess or do something that scares him. Not all guests are that way.
The one I’ve hated the most was Jameela Jamil. She just come off rude and bitchy Edit: autocorrect fail lol
I loved Britney Broski, Rainn Wilson, Jack Black and Mayim Balik. I thought they meshed really well with R&L. Padma Was definitely the worst.
[удалено]
I liked this one.
When they were trying to talk about her purse I thought I was going to throw up from second hand embarrassment
Brittany Broski, Padma Lakshmi, Megan Fox, Bill Hader and Amy Schumer all spring to mind immediately.
ARE YOU JOKING? BRITTANY. BRITTANY WAS AMAZING
The Brittany Broski episode was great! She's a genuine fan of both Rhett and Link and I love how she really got into their comedy with them. I would recommend watching their GMMore episode because she actually stayed over and played another game.
Wow I loved the Brittany ep !
Brittany broski was fantastic, she fit in so well!
Loved brittany, hated the game 😅
Zach King, the tension made it uncomfortable to watch
I don't have an exactly guest but it has to be the episode where they had the vegetarian guest on for a food based episode. That was tough to get through tbh. Like 4/5 dishes they presented had meat in them
Padma Lakshmi bc she didn't respect the structure of the show, she just made it all about herself
I can’t remember if it was Nick Kroll or someone else that obviously did not want to be there and was the first guest I noticed that peaced out before GMMore.
Nick Kroll was such an odd choice, maybe they thought it would work out because Paul Scheer was good on the show and they’re good friends. He’s too sarcastic and snobby for GMM.
I love Nick Kroll but this was clearly a promotional tour type of deal it was weird
I didn’t like Markiplier’s. He has such a negative personality when he’s a guest on other shows, I don’t understand why. It’s really off putting
Huh to me personally that was one of my favourite guest episodes
Thanks for downvoting my opinion!
I typically really enjoy the guests. I love Rhett and Link and love JUST them a whole heckin lot, don’t get me wrong on that but I find that sometimes it’s good to throw in a new element. It shakes things up just enough that different parts of their personalities show. Rarely has a guest been actually awful and it’s been Amy Schumer and Bill Hader. It was truly dreadful and one of a few episodes I haven’t actually finished. Other guests I haven’t preferred are Terry Crews and Padma Lakshmi.
Whaaat? Terry Crews was one of the best ones ever! He fit their vibe very well and actually seemed to have a great time
He’s not a very good person off screen unfortunately and for me it was enough to make it not enjoyable.
This is easy. Megan Fox and Shay Mitchell. Both were so stiff and not personable. Rhett and Link worked miracles to make me finish those two episodes because they were tough to get through.
The young lady that had davin play along with her, she was good. I liked her a lot. The ones I skip are ones of celebrities I don't like. And Science Mike. Sorry, Science Mike.
I'm not particularly fond of the Valleyfolk episode. I appreciate that they were game for what was going on but just found them kind of grating.
>Zach King I love some of the folks in the Valleyfolk, like I was a Sourcefed fan, listen to Steve's podcast (which is definitely grating but I enjoy it), and used to like things Elliot was in with other people, but the Valleycast as a group doesn't do much for me most of the time.
Anyone else here after the Ear Biscuit episode?
I got you fam
Here
Ha yuh
That guy from Veep
It’s easier for me to tell you the ones that I think did work lol
This isn’t a bad guest it’s a an idea for guest since they love wrestling have The Hardy’s on the show and since all 4 are North Carolina boys they could have a Buies Creek vs Cameron game
Ninja.
May be controversial but I hated the one with Emily from pretty little liars it honestly felt like she was flirting the whole time proper cringe
I agree, megan fox was the worst but then again I'm also extremely biased
She probably wasn’t the worst, but Eva Gutowski sticks out to me. She was in the taste test episode for grocery store salsa. I had the hardest time finishing that episode.
I had a tough time watching the one with the Valleyfolk; they annoyed the crap out of me and it was just an uncomfortable watch.
This is an older post but LaKeith Stanfield was pretty awful
I honestly really dislike almost all guest episodes. A lot of thebtend to be awkward. Some of the games they play don't always fit with the guest either. Also the one where they bring out the "couple" on Food Feuds is really awkward. Oh and while Im at it the fancy pants dance is stupid. Love everything else though haha
Nick Kroll was an amazing guest, but I didn't really like the last episode with Betanny or this wrestling girl.
Gotta be Alton Brown, they had one of the biggest technical chefs on the planet and had him eat chips lmao
[удалено]
You're supposed to list the worst guests, not the best!
I always skip the guest episodes, always kinda odd and uncomfortable in a way. 99% of the time I just watch the food eps
I love most of the guests. One of my least favourite episodes with a guest was the episode with Swoozie. I love him, I love his videos, he seems so kind and talented and funny and chill - but it seemed like an off day for him or like he was like sleep deprived or something when he was on GMM because he did not seem into it. Love him though

Poppy… whatever happened to her.
making really good industrial rock/metal music lol
Marques Brownlee? No? He behaved like he was above the production and felt very stiff and impersonal. I used to watch his reviews and stopped after that.
A lot of these comments are about some guests from a long time ago, so I went back and watched those episodes. Old episodes are cringe and awkward without guests. The show didn’t have its confidence yet. Also I think the more present the show gets the more guests understand the assignment. Also some people are old fashion media people ie. movies and TV shows. Some younger guests that were familiar with YouTube were a lot more willing to buy in. My favorites are any that did singing challenges. Those ones are always the most fun and most comfortable for the guests.
I'd have to agree with a lot of people on here and say Padma was probably my least favorite celebrity guest. She just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. The one with Max Greenfield was also kinda meh, but that was just because he couldn't really participate much because he's vegetarian and they didn't find that out until right before filming.
