The Try Guys Explore Their Impact on the Internet | Data of Me | WIRED

[Music] the following presentation was created by wired we've quantified your digital footprint so that you can see the impact you've had on the internet oh that's cool that's neat [Music] i wonder what it means this is what happens when you google the try guys all right what that's too many three very common words it does not surprise me 1 billion 540 million wait yeah i did it yeah and it only took 0.71 seconds to find that many google you sure are trying to you failed looks like the first video that pops up is the try guys try korean snacks for the first time iconic not exactly not especially a big hit yeah or that great and next the try guys try to make pants without instructions that's one of our favorite recent videos yeah so with that instruction series is about us doing things without instructions yeah we like to try guys without blank titles need to be very literal for us it writes itself there's a try guys wiki wow we have a whole fan wiki and it's not even just about feet that's awesome wow that's huge for me i had no idea that existed i have no idea what could be in the wiki it's probably just that we said one section that comes up is people also ask what happened to the try guys it was a terrible plane crash when it didn't happen to us like the arrow i need to know are the try guys really friends no we're lovers friends doesn't even begin to describe what we are we're friends with benefits i'd say we like to think of ourselves more as brothers because friends get into arguments and split up brothers get into arguments and stay together brothers don't have a choice yeah i was adopted who is the most popular try guy you know look it's hard to say who eugene yeah quantifiably eugene and qualitatively eugene he has a lot more instagram followers i like to think of myself as the most popular anyway that's what i like to think who started the try guys technically the four of us did it together i'd say the most common misconception is that uh we were cast together but we it was a self-made thing we found each other and it was really actually i think you could say the audience created the try guys we made a video it worked they asked for more here we are that's right who created the try guys you you did baby oh god this is a google trends graph of the try guys searched over time a b and c three points here what do we think a is it's probably the start of us yeah what's the date oh you know what though i bet you that's our motherhood series because look you see the beginning of the try guys oh yeah so a is going to be our motherhood series b is probably when we launched our new company in our new channel yeah and then c has to be our summer of try where a whole bunch of things happened we went on a 20 city tour eugene released a music video coming out called i'm gay we also uh released our book the hidden power of effing up i mean it was just like the the biggest wildest summer of our lives and a podcast and a podcast overdue for another spike what's going on steady decline per google image search here are some other words associated with the try guys speedo with a photo in target oh that's definitely key

know from all to hell we try to combat toxic masculinity through our videos and our work uh sometimes people who are toxic try and fight back also we don't care yeah we don't care yeah i look i think with everything that we do we try to show that there is no one right way to be a man to be a person and yeah you can still be tiny and delicate and cute and still be awesome you can be big and suck uh magic mike yes i do resemble channing tatum from the face down honestly if you read all of these together it sounds like a mad libs for bad porn we searched reddit for the try guys and these were some of the top results can we guess what they are based on the name of the subreddit r beauty guru chatter hmm i think this one is we recreated uh some beauty gurus iconic looks so i bet that's what you said say gurus you said guru yeah you're like a gyro there we go beauty guru well you're right med all right hey yeah i'm right we went on ebay and found the least expensive and most expensive items

signed hoodie from the tour or something yeah they could be recently something i'm very excited let's see what the starting bid is hundred dollars two hundred dollars probably like a signed hoodie

the box office during a pandemic film for free on zoom and then rent out a theater this is very exciting look we all have amazing talents and skills however i am the only official movie star of the try guys yes i was the star of the number one movie in america uh my buddy eric tabac had this idea during the pandemic that since there were no new movies coming out we could film a movie rent out a theater and then just buy all the tickets again and again and again so he did that uh and i think with 26 000 it was the number one movie in america that week very exciting for me very depressing for the state of the movie industry i get to say forever that i was the star of the number one movie of america it's just one of the many things will smith and i have in common we search zach kornfeld on getty images can you tell us about these oh yeah this is me being the doggo and or for poppy poppy is a friend of ours she is a wonderful weird musician we were hosting the streamies and she came with

bring my gimps on stage and i said well poppy i'll do it and she went really i'm like yeah i'm the host what are they gonna do it's live let's do this they can't fire me we're in the middle of a show so uh she put a leash on my neck and i start walking out and i see the producers go like no and then they kind of were like okay okay yeah then the following year they elected not to have a host our life is very weird i'm realizing yeah like this alone should be the weirdest moment of my life i kind of forgot about it i don't google myself very much i terrified of seeing what the internet has to say about me cause you know it's just not comfortable so i really have no idea what's gonna come up we googled the eugene liang and these were some results 12.5 million that's because you put eugene liang and i'm gay oh perhaps maybe perhaps you don't think it's because lee and yang are two of the most powerful oh yeah maybe now that's maybe that's it jean liango's viral cosplaying avatar the last airbender yeah i think there was actually a lot of press coverage i wasn't aware of of my cosplays i did uh zuko azula and kiyoshi from one of my favorite american animated series and people loved it 15 lgbtq youtubers brie larson should collab with yeah that would be fantastic brie larson is amazing and she i believe started a youtube channel eugene liang movies and tv shows comfort girls uh so this was actually a short film i produced and it was part of a asian american film organization that i was a part of and it was an amazing short film we've seen it it's fantastic it's cool he's very talented i'm not a princess huh so that was actually a spec music video i made for the artist marina and the diamonds who's amazing self-funded it self-cast it choreographed it created this entire 12-minute video it was me re-interpreting old fairy tales and turning the gender norms on their heads here are some of the top reddit search results for eugene liang sorted by relevance ah so this is my coming out video i still watch this video all the time eugene liang from buzzfeed slash the try guys comes out as gay with a beautiful choreography to one of my favorite odessa songs posted to r slash late bloomer lesbians well i love that reddit uh group we were going on a tour where my entire section was about being gay and i was about to bring gay pride across the nation and not my my whole family didn't know i was gay so i had to make something and so i uh basically was gonna do it on my own and then i was like why would i do this because we have a company so i was like okay i'll put it on the channel and i did it within a month this was an interesting example and you'll probably see more of this in our documentary of my public life especially as a video producer preceding my private life and it sort of forced my hand and so i had to respond to it through my public work and so it was very emotionally difficult and i would say that in the end it was a great excuse to be able to come out to some people i'm close to but yeah that's fantastic i really hope that anyone who still comes across this video anew is moved by it or feels something from what i have to say in the moment and yeah i'm still incredibly proud of the conversation that it started i would not advise anyone publishing a multi-million view video to come out to your parents but but in the end it worked out really well because i think the impact also helped people i loved show how important this is to an entire community so yeah you know in the end it worked out we searched eugene liang on getty images can you tell us about these images oh my this photo was actually from the first comedy show i was ever part of and keith attended with becky yeah and um it was basically storytelling from a lot of queer entertainers i actually thought it went pretty well i basically did like a country music redo of my my childhood fun fact i really love country music uh such tall hair this was from the asian americans end of the year award show this was the first year i attended i was honored with breakout male star which was fantastic this was i think 2016 but i was also honored alongside like stephen yoon and i mean there were actual stars there i was just that was just like little old me it was crazy because the asian american community especially in hollywood are very tight and we're all very supportive and this is my favorite award show to go to because after this i made this sort of the platform for me to really express a lot of my genderqueer style so the subsequent years i just got gayer and gayer and gayer and man do some of those old asian guys not know what they're looking at but yeah you knew i was strutting around and that was one of the years mulan herself ming na wen came up to me and said i was a gorgeous unicorn and i cried and i never cry i was also very drunk because they are also always sponsored by whiskey brands because they are run by koreans and we love whiskey i feel like that's a pretty good bye line for you most of the time really gay and beautiful and also drunk that's true the internet can be a really divided place it can be really brutal and scary and volatile but we always try to put as much good in the world as we can i think a lot of these results prove that a lot of good comes back to you yeah i was surprised at how warm and nice a lot of those responses were maybe maybe not the soy testosterone stuff sure but they didn't know they don't know how much we don't care about that uh thank you for having us wired we are the try guys go check out our movie and until next time get that graphire that's how we gave it a try
