Demi specifying that “these trying times” is infinitely applicable regardless of when you’re hearing it is a joke I love SO much

[@abbakarenina]

and out of ALL these topics Tao’s was the most divisive by far

[@TriXJester]

I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but the man is clearly mad.

[@thedevicebook]

I think he just needs to admit that Lunchables made a nostalgic impression in his youth & call it a day.

[@DoctorCVC]

Tao’s presentation felt like a trash taste podcast segment.

[@vicipedia]

@@DoctorCVCreal i was waiting for joey garnt and connor to start shitting on his food takes

[@Bunny._.Harvestman]

@@thedevicebook He just wanted a deconstructed sandwich.

[@florphy1237]

studying these for my impromptu speech

[@smartypantsdropout]

how was the speech

[@meltingmug]

CHECK YOUR REPLIES FLORPHY, ASAP

[@cookiequeen5430]

I love how they have such different styles of humor and are all hilarious in their own ways

[@enbybunny9940]

I know! I’m loving the direction Dropout is taking with their shows really amplifying the different styles of their vast cast of incredible comedians.
Very Important Person is another show that I think shows this off VERY well.

[@limelantern5637]

I love how Raph braces himself for almost every speech he is present for

[@Turalcar]

He looked like he was about to have a heart attack at the suggestion that LeBron is better than MJ.

[@farkenshnoff4521]

I genuinely loved Grant's rollercoaster presentation, but also everyone immediately groaning when he clicked onto the title card was devastating 😂 they were all so done with hearing about it already

[@robbie131]

At that point, it's probably been 2-3 years of Grant and rollercoasters (it was filmed in 2023 but he apparently was on a rollercoaster kick since COVID hit). I loved his presentation and how he knew the answers from the audience, though I do see his obsession grew to a localized meme through Dropout about this obsession.

[@chainedtothedream]

"a lot of nerve endings there" from erika just as everyone else is quietening down is so great

[@caitlynmcmunn]

I love the confidence in Tao’s opener only to be absolutely torn apart when he actually gives his real opinions

[@Lucifersfursona]

I can’t believe I forgot about the Rachel Hegemony
Grant going all Grapes of Wrath about roller coasters is so good

[@ZtheTaco]

Not them giving Tao the title “Chef” before he came on and provided such an awful tierlist- 💀😭

[@theiaraine]

Chef specializing in:
-lunchables

[@fourtinyfrogs]

Trapp yelling “Spinach! Spinach!!” Will never not make me laugh

[@ThomBaws]

The opening to Patrick's presentation is by far my favourite one. So much energy behind the swears, and so much disgust behind the fact that only Rekha was offended

[@WWFanatic0]

Trapp's "but if there are particularly bad days, might that suggest that there are particularly good days" reminds me of the shipmaster in Helldivers2 with her "the existence of high casualty missions suggests the existence of low casualty missions" line...

[@user-en7dx1qp3k]

I like that everyone was given titles like "Sen." or "Ph.D." but Ryan Creamer got nothing

[@incessantsepia]

No no, "Creamer" is his title

[@thedevicebook]

Still sad BDG & Adam didn't have a turn on this show given their backgrounds in making hilarious educational content. At least BDG is getting "Nobody Asked" on Dropout in the future, which is kinda in that spirit. I also bet BDG was busy with his "Um, Actually" role & Adam was touring a stand-up routine.

[@hadesblackplays]

as a person with severe, severe aquaphobia "no, thank you, the ocean. We dont know what's in there and we shouldnt find out" spoke to me in a spiritual level

[@elitettelbach4247]

This show was so fun! Everyone brought such a different energy and it was very entertaining! Great compilation!

[@teslajambox]

this show is such a gift

[@boonlincoln]

Lol Ryan Creamer appropriately the only one without an extra title in his name

[@kelmp]

Judaism does actually have a feminine side of god. God is genderless, which in Hebrew means we use masculine grammar, but there are times when we use a feminine name or feminine language to describe God.

[@TriXJester]

If season 2 doesnt have at least 1 Unhinged Brennan presentation than what is this show even for?

[@thedevicebook]

Adding on BDG & Adam Conover to that list!

[@owenaspinall2046]

We need more unraveled ​@@thedevicebook

[@theiaraine]

@@thedevicebook I absolutely need a BDG presentation.

[@brushidobee2233]

I’m a little surprised that the egg presentation was not made by the person with the handle SCRAMBLEDEGGS.

[@DNeonLamp]

Cutting off Ross before he got to the real point is a crime but I understand not wanting to give one presenter 3x the length of others.

[@in-aurait-elle]

9:09 omg the look? The voice? She ate who is she

[@jrodriguez1374]

Says it at 9:08

[@loglog1954]

Jessica wins this one

[@zombi3907]

I cannot comprehend recording and editing these clips with captions on

[@dylanh8163]

It takes advantage of existing captions so you don’t have to recaption anything yourself

[@BottomBunkArt]

Surprised to see Zzyzx on here
