If you’re anything like me, then you are also addicted to BuzzFeed. Whether it’s watching all of their videos on one of many of their YouTube channels (they have a channel for practically every color of the rainbow: BuzzFeedYellow, BuzzFeedViolet, BuzzFeedBlue...you could really get lost) or simply reading every article they’ve ever released, needless to say I’m almost always on BuzzFeed in my spare timeOne of my favorite things about BuzzFeed is their adventurous goofy group called the Try Guys. It’s a group of four guys with drastically different personalities—sensible, wife-loving Ned, goofy, fun-loving Keith, adorkable cat lover Zach, and sexy, good at everything Eugene—that try a variety of wacky tasks.
If I’ve hooked you and you’d like to start watching their stuff, here are my top 5 favorite Try Guy videos (as always, links are attached to the titles):
1. “The Try Guys Try Drag for the First Time”
The Try Guys drag video is my favorite Try Guys videos of all time. (It may have something to do with my love of drag queens.) Each Try Guy works with a drag queen to come up with a name, a look, and a song to lip sync to. It’s a fun video that talks about a subculture that has only recently been brought to light, and it’s hilarious from start to finish. This is a great first video when it comes to showing the personality of each of the guys.
2. “The Try Guys Test the Legal Alcohol Limit”
This Try Guys video explores how the same amount of alcohol can affect everyone differently. Though it’s fun to watch them try to dance as their night progresses, the video as a whole carries a more serious tone and warns of the dangers of alcohol. It brings awareness to drinking responsibly, which is an important issue considering that every day in America, another 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes.
3. The Try Guys Motherhood Series

This is another one of the Try Guys’ more serious videos, but it makes you feel good, too. This time, however, the theme is motherhood; from wearing pregnancy bellies to dealing with a fake newborn, the Try Guys are there every step of the way. Throughout their experiences, they realize that being a mother is a lot more difficult than one might think (and it’s a lot more painful, too). This eye-opening series ends on a sweet note: the Try Guys thank their mothers for all they’ve done. It warms your heart and makes you tear up a little...not that I would know.
4. “The Try Guys Try Nude Modeling”
Now this video is definitely one of the goofy ones. The Try Guys team up with the Warwick Rowers, of annual naked calendar to promote inclusivity fame, to take cheeky photos (pun intended) to explore the world of taking pictures in the buff. Each Try Guy has a, well, interesting, pop-culture theme that they re-enact with the Rowers. The results are as steamy as they are silly.
5. “The Try Guys Try Magic Mike Stripping”
I figured it best to end on a sexy note. This video is full of strip tease goodness, so buckle up for a fun ride.
I’ve picked 5 of my personal favorites for the sake of this article, but should you choose to check out more of their stuff, feel free to check out the Try Guy playlist.
