I left these and Good Mythical Origins after being months behind and slowly catching up to all Mythical channels. I'm now caught up and finally watching these and they were very much worth saving for last. I can't express how cool is it to watch these for the first time and hear Rhett and Link's commentary on them.
I can't wait to get to the GMO series after this. I think these are going to be my all time favourite videos from Myth. Soc. I hope there's more content like this to come!!

Finally got around to watching this, and it's giving me so many flashbacks. I remember doing pause edits with a Hi8 in around 2000, it's a pain!

these are absolute gems - i really, really think Rhett and Link are prolific, once in a generation creators. i cannot wait to see more of their art in the world

these videos are so funny 😂😂, I love all of them!!

I was in highschool around the time this video was made, and took a film class. My friends and I ended up making a very strange video about a cross-country runners mental decline, also using my dad's video camera. We couldn't make it to the video editing studio to have it properly edited, so our audio was played from a cassette tape during the filming (Supergrass's Alright, still an absolute gem). Our teacher didn't quite see the humour of the video, but we were all dying with laughter at the screening.

Just joined the Mythical Society. Love how genuine you both are! That's what makes your work shine!

This is so special. I feel honored and privileged to watch this with you. Opening up about “The Lost Years” and your Deconstructions has shot open the floodgates of Rhett and Link origins. Thank you for being willing to share your beginnings with us in this way, I feel like I know and understand you in a much deeper and more intimate way. I can sense the relief of finally being able to be your whole selves, completely unfiltered. If you ever find more tapes, please feel free to add them here. These are Gold!!

love that yall are sharing your beginning with us

I REMEMBER the days of attending meetings like this! I can tell you with utmost confidence that I'd have automatically assumed (at the time) that y'all were high up on the social ladder and therefore, WAY too cool for someone like me. 🤣 Gosh, I grew up a crazily similar environment. I didn't have the same social privileges y'all did but I do remember them days well. 🖤

What terric pieces of Rhett and Link history! I feel really privileged and fortunate to see something made so long ago that shows the seeds of what was to come. Well done Link for keeping the videos, definitely makes up for losing your wallet with the blood oath! 😉

Yaaas! Been waiting for these since y'all mentioned it on EB!

I'm really excited for this series, and hearing your current perspective on your juvenilia.
I can't say I'm surprised, exactly, that it's so campy and homoerotic. I do wonder if your leadership was oblivious, or subversive, or tolerating the content with the hope that you'd cast a wider net for recruitment.

Gotta say I really enjoyed watching both the original video and the commentary/reaction of this! it's such a nostalgic feel for it! 👍🏻

I like.

This is so cool, thank you guys for posting this. There’s a lot to be said about the luck involved in having an opportunity to have an audience to perform for in the capacity you guys did with Campus Crusade, but I also feel like your drive to create and perform would have shone through no matter where life took you guys. But I sure am glad things worked out the way they did. 😊

These were fun to watch- thanks for sharing!

but but link is your sidekick!

I love watching these videos of you and glad you were able to have an outlet to show just how creative and talented you are! It's cool to see you on your school campus filming, I've actually driven through there when visiting Raleigh.

LOVED seeing these!! so awesome that you could restore these! :))

what an amazing series! always nice to travel back in time but even cooler to travel back with somebody else

The one set of footprints comment had me cackling. What a cool opportunity you had to test your comedy on a captive audience. That's a lot of power for a young person.

This is literally one of the coolest things ever, to get to watch it with you guys! versions of Rhett and Link that we never really got to know!

I'm so glad that you guys had an outlet for your creativity back then and used it to fuel to where you are now! It's so cool to watch to see how you've navigated yourselves and it's been such a fun ride all these years as a mythical beast. So special getting to see these videos and hear you guys talk about them now. ❤️❤️

i liked it! 🙂

I love seeing you guys under another light. Thank you for making these!

I've been so excited for these, and I was not disappointed. These are so fab! Thanks for sharing guys.

Something I never knew I needed, and yet.... here it is. Thank you for a great start to the day!!!

. Loved this so much!!! They have come so far
