As a non-native english speaker, I must thank you because I learnt a couple of expressions I've never heard before. I tried to find the perfect idiom to express this, but after failing to find any, I felt like I went on a wild goose chase...
Sounds like you're over the moon about having a few more expressions under your belt. Ryan didn't cover a lot of ground but if you learn those by heart you'll be well on your way.
I never realized how confusing these are until I had a child. One time he was super excited to the point it was getting a little obnoxious so I blurted out “Hold your horses!” He suddenly got quiet and said, “But I don’t have any horses Mommy.”
1:24 This line broke me, I can’t stop laughing. Ryan’s delivery plus repeating it twice….goddammit! I’m now obligated to quote this directly in ALL future situations where it’s applicable! Lolol
The thing is, he’s pointing out an insane thing that has become normal. I mean, why the hell have we just accepted the phrase “it’s raining cats and dogs”?! IT IS INSANE 😂
"What if in this imaginary- sometimes life...could be like a cookie in some ways." The delivery perfectly encapsulates a brain trying so very hard to outturn what it thinks it knows.
I thought it was about cookies that were dipped in milk for too long and that therefore it was a kind of warning against being too greedy with soaking time as then the cookie inevitably crumbles. Although upon reflection l guess in that case it would be the way the cookie disintegrates instead because that's more akin to what soggy cookies do and besides l call them biscuits and l don't even like them l much prefer cake and anyway l was wrong.
The horrified reactions to, "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" reminded me of the reaction I got the time I said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a village." Sometimes people just aren't ready.
The ad's even better than it usually is 😂 "I uses my ears to listen to stuff all the time but sometimes I want to use them to listen to stuff that only I can hear" Amazing work, Ryan ❤
I experienced it the other way round when I tried to translate idioms from my native language into English and people were like Huh? Wth are you on about? 😂
English is my 2nd language, and I think idioms don't make much sense in any language. Though, I usually got their meanings even after hearing them for the first time (other than weirder ones like beat around the bush). So idioms are weird in any language.
Some of these video topics could so easily be unfunny if done by someone else but Ryan is so creative with his timing and scripts that these never fail to entertain.
Reminds me of the scenes in Archer when he's trying to communicate with a Polynesian tribe through a translator who doesn't know how to properly convert idioms to the local dialect, and Archer proceeds to give a motivational speech made entirely of idioms.
That seems really dangerous, because he is not wearing *any* safety gear, and falls are the fourth-leading cause of accidental death in the United States.
English is my native language, I'm 30 years old, and I heard "mountain out of a molehill" for the first time a week ago. I could tell what they meant, but I thought it was some weird idiom they just made up. Very strange of that person to say. Now I learn it's one of the common ones.
A young friend just heard "off like a herd of turtles" last week. Then I dropped "Well, I'm off in a cloud of heifer dust. See y'all later." He's 25 and thinks we just made them up.
some languages, like dutch, have an 'extreme' version of a word which incorporates the figure of speech. 'snaaks' is funny but 'skreeusnaaks' is screaming funny, and so you get things like ultranew, brilliantwhite, bittercold, bloodyhot, screamfunny, pitchblack ... as 'bonus' words in the language
@@humanistwriting5477 No no no, hear me out! The Beatles even wrote a song about a guy hitting people on the head with a hammer. It’s apparently an older phrase, way way way back in the 1960s! It’s coming back around again!
You’ll have to ask the OP about that to be certain. Personally, I just figured that you hide out in a bush, then when someone comes walking along the sidewalk, you stick your hammerin’ arm out between the branches and start wailing away on their heads. And THAT’S how The Beatles came up with the Blue Meanies! Because if you’re feeling blue, all you have to do is be a meanie with your hammer from a bush, and all will be well again.
Or beating someone half to death, which would be impossible to determine unless you beat him the exact same amount twice and he died immediately after.
I wear that shirt when I play disc golf tournaments. It's a kick in the pants when I tell someone "Nice shot" and they reply "It was super easy. Barely an inconvenience."
I’ve never been both so excited to hear my name in a sketch, and so mortified that a character is more similar to myself than I would like to admit. I guess I should’ve climbed that salmon ladder yesterday.
I was hoping they would start using the expressions involuntarily by the end of the sketch, and then be really disgusted with themselves for it. Could have a recurring thing where the people who hate the ideas start to do them and hate themselves.
Nathaniel is such a good character. This sketch is something special. Like everything Ryan George does is gold but man this one is so funny time and time again
I can't tell what it was you were doing differently than the rest of your goofy characters, but I really like Figure of Speech Guy. That's an entertaining fella. I want more of him.
Fish are known to be allergic to air I decided. So it would probably actually be pretty good it you just flopped back into the water so you don't catch a cold. I often accidentally catch various objects when my allergies are kicking in
I am pretty proud, that I understand all lines. My first language is different, so our figures of speech are different. Like I am hungry as wolf, golden eyes and with cross on funeral. It was really funny and enlighting about weird parts of our communication.
Hmmm... Has he made a sketch along the lines of "first person to use euphemisms" yet? If not, it seems surprising that the Ryanverse would already have thought of something like referring so someone's pubes as a "bush" to be able to make that connection with "beating around the bush" in the first place... But then again, there is the creepy guy in the meetings to decide names for things. Come to think of it, what is the origin of that phrase anyway? I'm sure they must have had actual bushes in mind when choosing that word. (looks it up) Hunting. In medieval times hunters would hire helpers to flush out any animals that might have been hiding in the bushes. They would make noise nearby to try to scare the creatures out (but not too close, in case something dangerous came out and attacked them).
Yeah, same. I love Ryan's characters, with that being one of the main reasons, another being just how well they rephrase things to make them sound honestly better than common English, imo, for example "alive person".

Just tell me your trauma, and I’ll give you drugs. But for lots of money though, like so much money. But we can only talk for 50 minutes at a time. Just 50 minutes. So, you in?” “Yeah, sure.”
I randomly started obsessively thinking about why "That's the way the cookie crumbles" is a phrase while trying to sleep last night are you inside my head how did you get in there
I had always assumed the expression making a mountain out of a molehill dated back to 1702, when King William III died from injuries after the horse he was riding tripped over a molehill at Hampton Court. But I was wrong: the earliest instance is from 1548, in Nicholas Udall's translation of The first tome or volume of the Paraphrase of Erasmus vpon the newe testamente where he wrote that “The Sophistes of Grece coulde through their copiousness make an Elephant of a flye, and a mountaine of a mollehill."

I love learning phrases in other languages. The oddity is just so apparent, and I am here for it!
I randomly started obsessively thinking about why "That's the way the cookie crumbles" is a phrase while trying to sleep last night
are you inside my head
how did you get in there
The Adstronaut is genuinely such a good character, I always watch the entire ad because it's so entertaining
He's probably the most underrated character on the Ryanverse
I loved the ad at the end of this one:"I only have between 1 and 3 ears" is such a great line
The whole video I was waiting for raining cats and dogs and once again, Ryan delivered everything perfectly!
Holy shit, that was so funny. I wanna hear Nathaniel's voice in other videos too lmfao
You're one of the only UA-camrs whose add roll I actually watch because you're courteous enough to put it at the end.
And he finds a way to make them entertaining as well.
I had always assumed the expression making a mountain out of a molehill dated back to 1702, when King William III died from injuries after the horse he was riding tripped over a molehill at Hampton Court. But I was wrong: the earliest instance is from 1548, in Nicholas Udall's translation of The first tome or volume of the Paraphrase of Erasmus vpon the newe testamente where he wrote that “The Sophistes of Grece coulde through their copiousness make an Elephant of a flye, and a mountaine of a mollehill."
I am actually proud of myself because of this video.
Not a native speaker, yet I got all of them at the first time!
*Ryan George going back in time, with a camera, to give us these History Lessons, is TIGHT, I decided*
Luckly for us it is super easy barely an inconvience for him to be able to do these.
@@candycover wowowow……..
Wow
Damn near spit out my sandwich with a pretty big pickle in it laughing, thanks guys!
I’ve watched a ton of his videos and don’t remember hearing him ever say tight, but I see it in the comments all the time. Did I miss something?
@@artugert Ryan is a man of many catch phrases, one of them being "Tight!" He usually says this in his pitch meetings series
So did you bring cookies 🍪? 🤣🤣 best question ever
This is one of my all-time favorite First Guy episodes. Idk why, just the way the guy using the figures of speech speaks and the reactions is so priceless
This was a really tricky subject and I wondered how on earth you were going to make this funny, but you did! One of your best! 😂
The delivery of the lines especially the first and the horse one was too good, oscar worthy i would say. I literally died laughing💀
This sketch was a barrel of laughs. It split my sides. It killed me.
True. Best thing since sliced bread
You should seek medical help immediately, make sure you don't bring any apples , they might keep the doctor away
@@jake_ sliced bread what are you talking about , there are way better inventions than sliced bread i think you need to go with this guy to the doctor you don't sound well , sick as a dog in my opinion
🤣🤣🤣too funny! And this sheds a light on how ridiculous these phrases really are! And the guy who had the list here, Funny character!🤣
My favorite thing to do on Ryan’s channel is going to “the stuff” playlist and pressing shuffle, I could watch his videos for hours, and I have
After eating five birthday balloons (followed by two more birthday balloons due to his short-term memory), balloon eating Ryan was bursting with excitement (or possibly popped balloon air that might explode his organs) by eating a piece of cake.
This is the only channel where I actually watch the sponsorships. "Now listen, I use my ears to listen to stuff all the time" 😂 Brilliant.
One of my favorite random things to Google is the origin of idioms. Some of the origins of these common phrases really tickle my fancy.
“Let’s address the elephant in the room”
“Are you calling me fat?”
That was outstanding!
This is the hardest part of learning a new language for me.
I love the Ryan verse because nobody is toxic about it and it is just generally the best.
I love how angry balloon guy got when there wouldn’t be cookies 😂
This is a mountain! 🏔️
i was JUST thinking earlier today about how the heck these phrases came around, that's wild.. Thank you for giving me the answer
Having listened to the pitch meeting revisits, I laughed extra hard at the surprise curse lol
