Yet another study in Link Rubbing His Eyes on Ear Biscuits 😇

EB407

Top Moments of the Year on Ear Biscuits, it was totally expected that the videos would be one of them, but it wasn't just one, it was the top one. This wasn't surprising either but as soon as Link said his second most significant moment (sending Lincoln to college) was technically the second, I was more and more convinced that the placements (including random roleplay with Jessie being second) were mostly strategic and it was strategic that the scripted videos were on top. Of course, Rhett said he would be offended if Link didn't put the videos on his list or even as the first place but I am not totally buying it wasn't well discussed between them beforehand that this would be their strategic or genuine (or both) top moment of the year. It was also a nice throwback to the previous EB where they introduced the concept of the scripted series because Link stressed again that those videos were linked to their personhood and their personal development and opportunity. Furthermore, Link clarified that apart from the superficial comedy, the videos are meant to stir us emotionally and MENTALLY and I was so relieved when he said this.

I am only a litte antsy that the videos won't be a standard monthly thing like they were in 2023, I am going to get a withdrawal syndrome from that :( but I understand that they believe watching the videos in succession without leaving so much time in between might enable them to drive the point home more effectively. I am also reeeeaaaally curious about the name they will give the series. Link implied there is a unifying concept / theme and now that it is known (?) the project needs a name (omg).

I feel like also a question I had all this time was answered when Rhett said the team that works with them for the videos is "very small". That... makes so much sense, eventually.

All that being said, I felt like whatever Rhett said in his second place was a little disagreeing with the follow-up, albeit sweet. Link was totally cool throughout, except in the end when in typical Link fashion

Link: You're each other's biggest fans, isn't that- Rhett: Yes, we are Link:...

Link: This could be dangerous. Egging each other on. Rhett: What do you think it's gonna happen? Link: I don't know.
