🚨TONIGHT! A new Um, Actually launches on Dropout at 7pm ET / 4pm PT, featuring host Ify Nwadiwe, fact checker Brian David Gilbert, and contestants Grant O'Brien (with the jawline), Keith Habersberger (with the megawatt smile), and Zach Kornfeld (who we are 90% sure is not also Grant)
i know they couldn't have known that zac would be grant in yesterday's game changer, but it would have been REALLY funny for the um, actually couch to be grant, keith, and zac. oops all grants.
Instead of having a SuperWhoLock trifecta, the modern online loser has a clusterfuck of interest that are always one degree of separation away from forming one large, dorkish singularity of online entertainment. The significant pockets of the cluster fuck are as follows:
Dropout TV
Critical Role
The McElroys
Polygon
Watcher
The Try Guys
Smosh
Starkid
There are likely other pockets in the clusterfuck, as well as semantic arguments to be had over which pockets overlap too much to count as single entities, or arguments over which pockets shouldn’t count as entities at all. There are bound to be discrepancies seeing as I pulled all of this information out of my ass.
With this in mind, take a look at my handy dandy poll. If you choose one of the numbered options feel free to specify in the tags, and add anything you think I missed :]
Grant was lounging on that Um, Actually couch like a slut (affectionate). I don't know when I've seen such nonchalantly sexual sitting on a couch. Especially on Dropout lol.
He and Keith are sitting nearly the same. And yet. The slouchy sweater just adds to the effect honestly.
Also, at one point, he hip thrusts the air after getting something correct so...
also love that there are three spots on the um actually couch. and famously three try guys. but they were like "nah... let's get grant in there". like i assume that eugene was just busy or uninterested but it's also giving "oh we can't have him? ok who do we have here at dropout who's gay" (grant is bi i'm using gay pretty widely here)
