Origin[]
Rhett James McLaughlin (born October 11, 1977) and Charles Lincoln "Link" Neal III (born June 1, 1978) are an American comedy duo. Self-styled as "Internetainers", they are known for creating and hosting the YouTube series Good Mythical Morning. The show first aired on YouTube on January 9, 2012, and continues to be uploaded every weekday during the seasons. As of January 2024, the show has twenty-five regular seasons and five summer seasons, with over 18.6 million subscribers and more than 9 billion total video views. The third season introduced the "Taste Test" series which include episodes where the hosts guess the food in blindfolds, challenge themselves to eat something often spicy and disgusting, and compare a particular type of food across different brands.
In 2009, the duo started to create free low-budget commercials for small local businesses throughout the U.S. in the web series "I Love Local Commercials". The success of these commercials spurred Rhett & Link to continue creating commercials and for that they offered people across U.S. to nominate their favorite local businesses to take part in the web series. The popularity of the duo's commercials garnered the attention of major advertising publications.
In 2010, Rhett & Link created a stop motion video "T-shirt War" as a commercial for T-shirt printing company Rush T-shirts, in which they used 222 T-shirts with unique designs.The video already had 2 million views after only two weeks of being online, and quickly reached 4 million. "T-shirt War" also won in Best Online Promotion at the Apparel Industry category at the 2010 Spirit Awards. After the success of this commercial Rhett & Link received a call from McDonald's and Coca-Cola asking them to make a TV commercial with a T-shirt War theme. The commercial was also uploaded on YouTube, and this video, entitled "T-shirt War 2", reached 1 million views in two weeks.
Effects[]
At the dawn of every morning, generates an overlarge t-shirt that provides the wearer with some unique, unusual or mundane sensation, usually all at once. Can range from uncontrollably sneezing confetti, turning into a parakeet when raining, making nearby toast turn iridescent and walking into impromptu macarena sessions. Anything strange but relatively harmless.
All effects occur even after switching with another person, but not if the fabric is ripped. Multiple people will experience the same oddities as the shirt replaces itself throughout the day once the rack is emptied. Will remain sedate if other clothes occupy the space, creating only one shirt per day. The only recurring point between effects is hearing advertisements louder than before, even if a silent image. On the next day, all changes dissipate - except for their taste. A random flavor will barge into their taste buds for twice as long, with harrowing mixtures such as hamburger wrapper and milk duds.
