That's because you've only seen him in well-crafted, scripted videos. You have no idea what he is in real life, unless you watch his podcasts, in which case you'll have an understanding of a portion of his character. That's UA-cam for ya.
I wanted to go by all these people's channels to see where they're now after 4 years. So, I made a list of everyone mentioned in this video, in case some of you guys wanna check them out too: 1:01 Eric Dayler (not sure how to spell it). 1:40 Anthony Ma. 2:15 Dennis Hemphill. 2:47 Marlin Chan. 4:11 Joey Held. 5:19 Justin James Hughes. 6:30 Matt Morgan & Heidi Brucker. 7:40 Lana McKissack. 8:45 The Brothers Riedell. 10:14 Kyle Hatch. Feel free to share any corrections, so I can update the list :).
Completely expecting Ryan to crack a joke at 9:50 with all the awkwardness, and I was like.. .Cmon. Dont let them just hang there.. Uhh.. Ryan.. RYAN... .. Oh lord
Lin ai Seriously.. I didn't think he'd ever do such a thing.. kinda shallow..and I love Ryan.. makes me think if he's letting this UA-cam life get the best of him.. Ugh..man I don't want to believe.. this. And that chick seriously needs some manners.. and respect.
Alex Medina The problem here is that he is there as a "Judge". While it may go against who he is, it is important that he avoids interaction with competitors as much as possible to keep everything fair and square, keeping his view unbiased--Especially since the competition is about how likable they are. Talking to one person more than the other is very much unfair for a "charm showoff" tournament.
CementCake Okay, so, I've been watching Ryan for a while now (a few weeks tops) and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this show is what Ryan pointed out in one of his video (not sure which channel, nigahiga or HigaTV). If you follow both of his channels like I do and pay attention to what he says, you can actually easily figure out the answer behind the question why he's behavior is somewhat different that usual. I know for a fact that he mentioned in one of his videos how shy he is and kind of uncomfortable at first in situations like those where he is pretty much surrounded by people he doesn't really know and the whole experience is unfamiliar. Just like everyone else, he needs to adapt and that may take some time. But still, I really don't think he did anything wrong here. I don't know why you just assumed he pretended like he didn't hear what that guy said. Maybe he really didn't hear him. That wouldn't be surprising since he has ADHD and sometimes a pretty short attention span (and I know what that's like 'cause I have it too). xD Besides, he asked him politely to repeat what he said and then the guy chose not to. Aaaaanyway, I don't mean to start an argument here, just wanted to say that you should try not to judge others so quickly based on just one action. Especially if you already know that he is a genuinely good person (rare to come across nowadays). That's all I had to say. No hard feelings, please. I just wanted to share my opinion. :)
I love this. This whole thing shows the internet growing and developing. I remember some of your first videos and now you guys made a network!! YOMYOMF and PhillyD and countless others have made buisnesses just around UA-cam, its great and shows how this world is changing.
BlandMelons AJ they probably weren't actually like that, considering they made critiques on everyone else, but the editors were like let's try to make ryan and christine look bad
I'm having mixed emotions about Ryan's personality.... I understand that he has to keep it 'professional' but it's hard seeing him act so.... Different and Asshole-ish. Especially at the part where those guys (forgot their names) saying "We love you guys." And Ryan acted like he didn't hear him. I know, he has to keep it professional but for me, I've been a lamp for like 4 years now and I'm used to his derpy self (in a good way) so it's kinda hard seeing Ryan act like an asshole coz he's like, my fav youtuber (my first ever youtuber I've ever watched in my entire life before I found out that there was others) of all time so I basically look up to him as an idol. Hell, I even talk like him sometimes. (The one where he talks too fast and jump from topic to topic and makes funny unfunny puns) So yeah, don't blame me. He basically turned into Simon Cowell (Whom I love and respect.) Whatever though. He's still Ryan Higa whom I knew for 4 years anyway so this comment was pretty much.........pointless.....??? Anyways love you Ryan :))) Forever and always :D xxxx
If you've seen his worst boyfriend ever video, I know it was meant as a joke, but he did say he has a hard time saying I love you. And to someone who he does not know can't be any easier. And he did look pretty focused on what he was doing and could have zoned out. I tend to do that a lot so that could be the case.
I really don't get the point of this show... Different groups and types of people like different types of things. Whether it's humor, serious videos, or bad joke videos, everybody has different stuff to entertain them. UA-cam, and all social public video sites for that matter, is made for any type of video. It's a big world. Everybody's different. A video that might not be appealing to TWO JUDGES can happily entertain THOUSANDS of people. I hope everybody that got turned down in this show soon realized that with all the time they spent trying to please two people, they could've already been famous... Seriously, I'm just here for Ryan Higa. He's hilarious. But I hope he realized this soon afterwards as well.
RANDOMTUNAJM He knows when to be serious when he needs to be, the contestants are putting their all into this competition and he respects that. He doesn't need to be hilarious all the time.
What's the point of this just make youtube videos yourself if you wanna be famous n shit there's no need to join some weird ass competition, just came for ryan
This is cool, it should get more views. Even tho' about 400-300 000 views per part is ALOT, it still should be getting closer to 1 mill. This could be really big!
When I first watched this I completely flipped out when the Brothers Reidell came on because I've been a Brother-Sister for a while now and i didn't know that they were going on this so it came as a huge shock! I hope they win!!
Word of the wise to people watching this Series for the first time.. look at the comments AFTER the video s over trust me if you read the comments before it will ruin the video
Its weird seeing Ryan soooo dry. It must be tough for him to be mean when he's used to making people laugh
I'm watching the full playlist of Internet Icon because of Ryan Higa
i am afraid that you need to visit this one ... level.mn
Me too
same.. lol little lamp doe
Choo Shuhua me too
Choo Shuhua yes
Never seen Ryan THAT serious before😃
That's because you've only seen him in well-crafted, scripted videos. You have no idea what he is in real life, unless you watch his podcasts, in which case you'll have an understanding of a portion of his character. That's UA-cam for ya.
"he should stick to dancing" and now Joshpalerlin's channel is huge af xD
Masrex Pranks are an easy way to get views. Unless you made something original then I'd be happy and impressed with him.
Months later I'm doing reactions. #Hypocrite
Yes but he's not a reputable creator... he's more of a... twatbag
I wanted to go by all these people's channels to see where they're now after 4 years. So, I made a list of everyone mentioned in this video, in case some of you guys wanna check them out too:
1:01 Eric Dayler (not sure how to spell it).
1:40 Anthony Ma.
2:15 Dennis Hemphill.
2:47 Marlin Chan.
4:11 Joey Held.
5:19 Justin James Hughes.
6:30 Matt Morgan & Heidi Brucker.
7:40 Lana McKissack.
8:45 The Brothers Riedell.
10:14 Kyle Hatch.
Feel free to share any corrections, so I can update the list :).
Thanks, even though I'm not interested, your super considering... Thanks!

Ryan looks like he's struggling to be serious XD
I'm absolutely addicted to this show now... Ryan higa..he so..omg
0:26 Ryan's sexy face! hahahahah!
Ryan heard them say ''We love you'' BUT he didn't want to answer..... so he acted like he didn't hear them...
Yeah i noticed as well but i cannot believe nigahiga ryan higa would do such a thing
Lin ai Seriously.. I didn't think he'd ever do such a thing.. kinda shallow..and I love Ryan.. makes me think if he's letting this UA-cam life get the best of him.. Ugh..man I don't want to believe.. this. And that chick seriously needs some manners.. and respect.

CementCake I'm pretty sure they did that on purpose. Look how awkward everyone was, it was staged.
I'm gonna rewatch this whole series
isnt josh from the fu, with ryan now?
+Jeffy Ng Yes. it's him
+Jeffy Ng lol that makes it sound like ryan seduced him into his gang

12 :07 no offense or anything but I'm pretty sure we aaaalll know Rose Tyler is Americas favorite british
one of the girl in there is in Ryan's video
Which video?
I love this. This whole thing shows the internet growing and developing. I remember some of your first videos and now you guys made a network!! YOMYOMF and PhillyD and countless others have made buisnesses just around UA-cam, its great and shows how this world is changing.
That Lisa girl is in Ryan's videos sometimes now
lana. She was in love literally :D
And the worst boyfriend ever
Why are there so many Asians in the show?
Because we are awesome, heh xD (by the way i'm asian so lol xD)
I know, we really are pretty awesome!
The riedell brothers are so awkward. I love them!
learnding. xD
When the brothers riedell go up and ryan and christine act like douches to them
+David Buhle XD
BlandMelons AJ they probably weren't actually like that, considering they made critiques on everyone else, but the editors were like let's try to make ryan and christine look bad
+David Buhle
Probably because that's how practically at least one part of the judging group is like in any competition show.
They were joking, and trying to make it awkward. They obviously were trying so hard not to laugh.
damn you're right I never thought about how it's scripted
*Awkward silence*
"We love you guys."
"I'm sorry, what?"
*Another awkward silence*
"Should we leave now?"
LOL
I'm having mixed emotions about Ryan's personality.... I understand that he has to keep it 'professional' but it's hard seeing him act so.... Different and Asshole-ish. Especially at the part where those guys (forgot their names) saying "We love you guys." And Ryan acted like he didn't hear him.

Anyways love you Ryan :))) Forever and always :D xxxx
This turned cheesy as shit. (Is shit even cheesy???)
i've been a lamp since before lamps existed lel. subbed since 2007 Ryan's just trying to be honest
He looked a bit like he was kidding...
If you've seen his worst boyfriend ever video, I know it was meant as a joke, but he did say he has a hard time saying I love you. And to someone who he does not know can't be any easier. And he did look pretty focused on what he was doing and could have zoned out. I tend to do that a lot so that could be the case.
It's hard to tell because it's an edited episode~you don't really know if that's his timely reaction or not haha

It's an entertaining show lol
this show is better than i expected! i like it :)
Kinda upset with Ryan's personality, compared to his personality in his YT channel.
+RANDOMTUNAJM Why?
+RANDOMTUNAJM Why?????
+My Idea Garden He generally is shy, quite, and I really feel that the hilarious personality only appears on his YT channel.
RANDOMTUNAJM
Yeah, I guess so.
RANDOMTUNAJM He knows when to be serious when he needs to be, the contestants are putting their all into this competition and he respects that. He doesn't need to be hilarious all the time.
Justin
"It was in his pants" -Ryan😂😂
Marlin! I watch Guava Juice
Higa and the blonde so did it
I LOVE this show because I can watch Ryan Higa's face for over 10 minutes LOL :p

This is cool, it should get more views. Even tho' about 400-300 000 views per part is ALOT, it still should be getting closer to 1 mill. This could be really big!

It's great to see Ryan's serious side on youtube.
I love the idea of UA-cam series.

I love this concept, especially since, even if someone doesn't make the cut, the viewers still learn about new youtubers to subscribe to! :D

When I first watched this I completely flipped out when the Brothers Reidell came on because I've been a Brother-Sister for a while now and i didn't know that they were going on this so it came as a huge shock! I hope they win!!
