Honestly, the reason I loved this song was because of the twist. It also showed girls to walk away from a relationship that showed any red flags, and Ryan's and Kevin's redemption was gold. It's sad to see people quoting it the wrong way.
This is how I saw it when I watched it (I’m a girl). So many women will go after guys that treat them like garbage, and they usually stay when everyone else can see how toxic the relationship is. It’s never worth staying with someone because of how long you’ve been with them if they don’t want to change to be better. You should want to be with someone, not feel like they’re your only option, because there are more out there but your person should be the one you choose to be with “through sickness and in health”.
on the one hand i can't believe there's people who fail to recognise that the song is ironic (which is part of why it's so hilarious) but on the other hand.... i've been on the internet long enough to not be That surprised
@@enabled2639 you're not a weirdo man, I just think that the people saying "do nice guys really finish last" are just joking with him and he didn't get the sarcasm behind it. I've never met anyone that doesn't actually get it but hey maybe I'm wrong
There is just something magical about the first 5 years of RU-vid as it really felt like my own personal cult or fandom I belong. Yeah this is when the phrase "1 Millions Subscribers" was just an internet wet dream back in those days. We were all a tight knit community from 2005 to 2012 and everything started to fall apart from there. Corporate motives for this website really puts me down at times but yeah the good times will always be in our hearts. Thanks Ryan your a legend.
When I was a young young kid watching this music video, I LOVED the twist. It really helped stamp out any chance of me ever giving into the so-called pressure to be a jerk. Because I almost gave into the idea of "nice guys finish last." I thought that, in order to find friends, and a girlfriend, and gain respect, I'd need to ditch my kindheartedness, and it nearly ruined who I was. Thanks Ryan, Chester, and Kev. this song really helped me through Middle School and High School.
the impact this had on asian friend groups man, my friends and i would sing this every recess when it first came out. then in high school when we met other asian groups in the city they all knew the lyrics too
"But behind the scene she means the world to me, I wanna tell her that she's beautiful and show her that she's loved..." That last verse was the Twist that made me understood the song. I remember watching ya perform this song live too!
My brother introduced me to Ryan's channels way back then and we used to sing a lot of his songs together. Unfortunately he passed away in December so I can't share this video with him :(
I look at Ryan in the old days and present day Ryan, and dude is definitely a vampire, he has NOT aged at all in 10 years, you may say its asian genes but im asian, and I dont think I and pretty much everyone I know can stay unaged in 10 years, Ryan seems to trascend us Asians, he goes beyond A, he is A+, A+sian?
I literally remember the very, very end of 7th grade where the popular girls were fawning over this song nonstop And for once, I understood their taste in music. Despite the tendency internet comedy songs have to age like already expired milk, this song honestly holds up pretty damn well and, despite the misinterpretations, really brought it home with how the video portrayed the message. A RU-vid classic, for real.
Ryan I’ve been watching you since I could ever start watching RU-vid man! It’s crazy how dominant you were in that era and how much you made RU-vid better tbh I’m glad I got to watch actually funny skits, videos before RU-vid became trash!! The nostalgia is unreal been subbed for like 9-10+ years just a different account rn but man amazing after all these years.
I think what's really great is that this song and video feels pretty timeless. Like if this video showed up today, I don't think you could tell this came out 10 years ago.
Tbh I rewatched it a while back and learned it's not about how nice guys finish last it's how nice guys syndrome is pathetic and because being nice does not mean you get wemen or men really but in general being nice to get girls Is a routine not a person being genuine and deep down those people aren't good people Sad to see incells misinterpreted the meaning
I remember watchin this as a kid I was hella bullied and got rejected every time. I was overweight as hell. I took the video as girls don’t want a nice guy, they want an asshole. Then it worked, I worked out got into shape, after messing around for yrs I meet a girl I thought I actually liked, i fucked it up by being a complete dumbass and fighting someone right before high school graduation and got arrested. She stood by me so much that I didn’t blame her when she left me. I joined the Army right after hopefully to show her I made something of myself, but something’s just aren’t meant to be. I’m 19 trying to get a stable relationship but I can’t. she was the only genuine nice girl I have ever meant. I still think about her all the time. Just don’t be a dumbass gents and be responsible. It might be fun messing around but trust me it’ll just leave you empty and depressed. A Shell of a human.
I kinda feel like Ryan got fed up with this cancel/ratio(whatever the fuck that means)/offended god awful era we live in, and kind of killed his motivation to produce yt videos because of that. Because you can't do/say/show/sing/etc. anything anymore without some people raging up about it and misinterpreting the situation, to fit their agenda. So the creative freedom and the essential of Nigahiga kinda got killed due to this hyper-sensitive awful society we live in. In which I believe he strove upon. Well, maybe that's just how i feel anyway.. how amazing we had it in the 2010's without realizing it. Oh and I know you probably can't interact on this comment since that most likely gonna put you in a shitstorm as well. Loved your work since 2007, keep being the most creative and original youtuber in the world. And that's not close to an exaggeration.
I first heard the song when I was in 8th grade, now I'm about to finish my senior year in university and I can still sing the song without missing a word
When I was a kid I loved this song, still has a catchy melody and good focus. Teaches you that girls might like bad guys, but they also want that bad guy to care about them and treat them right. It also shows how imo girls perspectives of how they want a bad guy until they get one and realize they got themselves into deep.
In my high school, I borrowed a pen drive from my friend with around 10-15 odd music videos back in 2013 and "Nice Guys" was one of the videos. That compelled me search for it on YT along with Ryan's channel and that is actually how I started watching YT videos and following "RU-vidrs", after watching Linkin Park lyrics videos throughout my middle school. Jesus. Time doesn't fly-by, it fucks off
lyrics Nice guys finish last, That's why I'll treat you like trash, It's not what I really wanna do. But, you only date bad guys so, I'll give it my best try to, Treat you the way you want me to. I never open a door, Or pull out a chair. You can tell me how your day was But I don't really care. And if you ever get cold, You'll just have to hack it, Cause I'd be cold too If I gave you my jacket. Like whoa, you ain't sittin up front, Front is for the homies you can sit in the trunk. I never answer my phone, Whenever you call it And when the waiter brings the bill I never reach for my wallet. Nice guys finish last, That's why I'll treat you like trash, It's not what I really wanna do. But, you only date bad guys so, I'll give it my best try to, Treat you the way you want me to. And Ima beat you! At every competition. Going out with the girls You better get my permission. Wait no, i take that back, you can't go, House is on tonight And that's my favorite show! Do I look fat in this dress? Hell yeah you do! Wait lemme speak your language Cows go Moo! Mooo Moooo Mooo Mooo! Nice guys finish last, That's why I'll treat you like trash, It's not what I really wanna do. But, you only date bad guys so, I'll give it my best try to, Treat you the way you want me to. But behind the scenes she means the world to me. Wanna tell her that she's beautiful, and show her that she's loved. Hold her hand when she's scared, tell her how much I care... But that won't win her heart because... Nice guys finish last, That's why I'll treat you like trash, It's not what I really wanna do. But, you only date bad guys so, I'll give it my best try to, Treat you the way you want me to. Ho! Yeah! this song was the best. i haven't heard it in years man
That is growing up, mate. You hate everything that gave you happiness in the past and become a miserable, hate-filled shell of a person that wants everyone to be as miserable as you are.
I remember watching some kinda vidcon and Chester was overbearing when the girl was trying to interview Ryan. You could see her rolling her eyes when Chester would jump in
Women seek competence, dominance, confidence, wealth, status in men, the more money the woman makes, the more she expects from her partner. All these traits just happen to be present in the "bad boys", which is why they are prefered. It is what it is. This is not to shame women, as this does make sense in the mating strategy to secure the best option available, speaking in general.
