Try guys

I haven’t really followed them in a long time, until this scandal brought them back to my attention. What a fool Ned is. He was already punching so far out of his league, you’d think he’d be on his best behavior. Dumbass.

Is Zach getting big? His neck is looking kind of thick…

Yeah he's intentionally gaining weight to help with his chronic pain. He made a video of it a couple months ago I think

they don't at all seem genuine. I'm getting a weird vibe from all 3 of them.

they are fake as fuck! I don’t know who they’re trying to fool!

 

[goonlat]

crazy to think Ned went to an Ivy League school and yet wasn’t even remotely intelligent enough to try and hide his affair or at least got so lazy that he and Alex were easily found out

like he really threw away his career and image and for what???? Like a TV show, a successful company and brand, reputation, friends, all of that just GONE, and for whhhaaattt????

He really does love bad ideas.

Eugene's anger feels so performative in that video lol

Eugene's anger feels so performative in that video lol

It does but somehow at the same time feels genuine considering how pissed he probably is that Ned pretty much destroyed all the momentum the company had built. Like at times he feels desperate to have any fame/success so he’s probably genuinely pissed Ned fucked that up when they were making actual strides and now the brand has taken a HUGE hit

like their food network show basically got cancelled without being cancelled

Eugene is probably just pissed that he now has to be part of the try guys videos now

 

[bheido]

performative

lol that's Eugene's whole brand

I didn't even know they had a Food Network show until someone tweeted about it, imagine having a show move from a week night to Friday at 10 AM, ouch.

I wish I was that lucky. The only down side would be to endure annoying Eugene

Well, guess what supersweaty we didn’t know. If I would’ve known I would’ve been the lucky affair I mean …

Ned has said he's going to refocus on his marriage, and the TGs have said that he is no longer part of the company. That this isn't the end of the conversation is an example of the fandom overstepping, thinking that they deserve retribution for an infidelity that is absolutely nothing to do with them.

TL;Dr? People exhaust me. It's an affair, move on.

This argument doesn't work in the business of Social Media and Parasocial relationships that have become brandable, promotable, and sellable.

He built a huge portion of his sole brand as "The Wife Guy" and "Perfect Husband." He manufactured and curated that to sell his book with his wife, his social media presence, and his place as a TG. He acted in a way that was antithetical to his brand, so he and everyone who gave him or helped his platform is harmed by this. (that doesn't make EVERYTHING he ever did a farce, but still, his personality and he himself simplified his brand into something marketable - there is much less nuance in marketability than reality)

People not getting why he was removed (he wasn't fired, he was a part-owner of the company. The other owners had to make a company-wide decision about severing ties) don't really understand the concept of branding in this business-centered world. The 2ndTry company has a core value of "authenticity" (manufactured or not... it's the internet) built into their brand and, when you demonstrate inauthentic behavior, that harms the brand. It's why people still rally behind Jenna Marbles, because she was authentic even though she did some "problematic" things in the past.

Oh joy, the essays have begun.

The rest of us will hide in the bushes waiting for him to get that ass out again. Cross your bits, boys.

This. This is why me, as a fan of The Try Guys, is so upset. Ned built his entire personal brand on being the guy that truly and deeply loves his wife. I can't wrap my mind around what he's said about loving his wife and family, and what he did.

So tired of Ned's apparent lack of morals, responsibility, and shamelessness
