It's pretty relatable to me, and tbh I feel like top tier competitors usually feel the same way. You get too hung up on winning and it shatters you a little when you lose. But if you just care that *you did the best you could*, you can get some amazing results.
@@IBeAWizard24 If you look up pictures of barbershop quartets, they're a lot like Grant, visually. Tall and skinny, white and short-haired, etc. At least, the general cultural idea of those quartets anyway - I dunno if they actually all looked like that historically, but the association is what matters most with this stuff 😅
@@pedroscoponi4905 I thought the joke was a deep cut dig at Grant who looks a lot like Keith (of Try Guys) who actually has a barbershop quartet. 😅 [they did a skit with keith before about the look-alike thing]
the very second Brennan said it, I saw a mental image of Grant wearing one of those stupid barbershop quartet outfits- i could genuinely see him as the lead in a barbershop quartet
I think being a lifelong New Yorker has given him that wired, just-barely-hanging-on energy that you 100% believe would snap at any moment. Pair that with a doughy Irish face that just says "hello gang, let me tell you about bird facts", and you got the dichotomy that is Brennan Lee Mulligan.
Dropout is great but I really miss the comments section as a place to engage with others about the videos. I'm glad clips like these exist to provide a surrogate for that interaction.
@@spectatorsgaze4903 i thought it was unavailable in my country, but i went on the website on desktop and it had a link to the dropout, which i could then get at from my phone :))
@Jenifer Joseph So your comment has one of those automatic "translate to english" thingies on it, and apparently "SAM" in whatever language Google thinks it detected translates to "HIMSELF". Actual jump scare. This will haunt me. 😱💀
If you do one of these for the final elimination game please show how Brennam implanted a kill word in someone's mind bc that was honestly the craziest move in this whole show
YES what a fuckin' S-tier play that was! Such a wholesome little cutaway of the two of them just having a moment together, only for the B E T R A Y A L when it was time to strike.
@Taurusus Agreed, not only an amazing move by Brennan, but the way the editors snuck in the set up as footage for the person talking abt being friends was excellent
That's kinda the point. It's actually a fairly healthy competitive mindset to just want to make sure you do the best you can. I play this game called Nexus Wars a lot, and I'm really damn good at it. Like a 6-7 to 1 win/loss ratio. And I totally get the attitude because a lot of the time, when my team loses (our Nexus gets destroyed) *my base* is still standing and fighting (the opposing team broke through my allies base). So I can totally understand the attitude of "I don't care if I win, I just don't wanna lose", and I think it's a large part of why I've gotten to be better at it than a lot of the people who can't take criticism of their "amazing skills".
When you win all the time you cease to gain anything from it. No one cares if you win and you don't really care either, it's just expected. Eventually if you keep playing you will lose though, no matter how good you are, and that's all anyone will remember, the one time you lost.
The fact that he was able to get a double-KO with one joke just goes to show how effortlessly hilarious Brennan Lee “There is no corner of my heart I wouldn’t turn over for points” Mulligan truly is. At only a fraction of his power, no less
I don't know, but the game was they were supposed to make each other laugh with declarative statements. Brennan asked a question! He should have been disqualified. Love him to death, and that was hilarious, but that wasn't a declarative statement!
@@mylifeafterbreakfast sam responded to this on the discord and said that he wasnt going to be extremely strict about that part of the rules because plenty of of them would have been dq'd on technicalities
@@KaizerRemix I don't have dropout so this may be why but I haven't actually seen them do an episode together. But yeah, it's true Amy is definitely worse than Grant. Grant always loses to everyone in this vid though so it's still really impressive for him
@@FaintImpression Oh yeah, Amy is hands down the worst at Breaking News, but Grant is up there. Poor Amy will sit there laughing for a good minute or two straight after breaking, and we love her for it.
@@shrubninja6444 absolutely love Amy. Just laughs non-stop and all the "tactics" ahead comes up with are absolutely useless. She also lowers everyone else's score because she breaks the others more than the script does.
Brennan respects the spirit of the competition, he wants to win but if he loses he will accept it gracefully because the competition is what's important, not his own superiority. Anyone who wins in a fair competition is the rightful victor and should be treated as such.
brennan and erika were so cute this episode oml, all the hugs and (SPOILERS) brennan protecting erika with the immunity thing and her being so touched by it, UGH I want what they have
I rarely go to the dropout discord and i just usually have youtube up and running on autoplay whenever I start my day, so you're basically my notification whenever a new episode is up 🤣
Brennan is trained for this. His DMing is just him whipping out lines that are designed to get a reaction of out people all while not breaking character himself
@@kevinomalley1090 And envisioning this is exactly why Lou folded. e:before that turn even came up he was envisioning it, yup, that’s what I meant, that’s how time works.
Brennan saying "I don't particularly like winning" is like Jaime Lannister saying "To be honest, I never really cared about them, innocent or otherwise"
I love how Brennan single handedly got everyone out except Lou. Saying super funny things in this intense, cold, calculated voice while keeping a straight face shows how much of a master he is at this shit lol
It was a rhetorical statement… think about it…Brennan already knew what happened to the rest of the barbershop quartet, he was challenging Grant to acknowledge his role in the whole sordid affair.
You can see Erika having to summon every ounce of their will to avoid laughing at "the pretty good Gatsby". It almost feels like Raph thought of that joke specifically for them.
