ANNOUNCING "RHETT & LINK'S BUDDY SYSTEM"

Episodes air every Wednesday at 9 am PT/Noon ET

"Buddy System is the story of the very existence of Good Mythical Morning being threatened by our co-ex-girlfriend from high school, who is now an infomercial queen. And then the crazy adventure that we have to go on to get Good Mythical Morning back. This adventure may or may not include a song in every episode, me [Rhett] getting branded, me [Link] getting tased, a rollerskater/rollerblader gang fight, us singing a barbershop quartet with out clones, a magicician who does real magic, and possibly a talking exercise bike."

Buddy System has also been confirmed to be aired on YouTube Red. For more discussion and explanation from Rhett and Link about the choice of YouTube Red, please see their detailed post on Tumblr: http://rhettandlink.tumblr.com/post/146379382022/buddysystem

Also, here is the announcement as it happened at Vidcon 2016 -- skip to 8:26:39 of the broadcast video!

K-Mod Comment by Victoria (Centauromadoose) on October 19, 2016 at 9:31pm: Hi, Jess! We answered a question on Twitter the other day about how generous MBs can help others purchase episodes of Buddy System or even a YouTube Red subscription. Since both YTR subscriptions and individual episodes can be purchased with Google Play funds, I recommend that Google Play gift cards can be donated to those who can't afford to pay to watch Buddy System.

However, the Kommunity is not currently involved in matching potential donors to potential gift recipients; this is probably something that should be conducted on a personal level, if possible. If you see other comments/posts like the ones you've already seen and feel secure in reaching out to personally offer assistance, please feel free to do so. :)

Comment by Jess Bradford (JBear) on October 19, 2016 at 9:18pm: I've noticed on a few YT/Twitter comments that some people who are in countries where YTRed is not available, are mentioning that they can't afford to buy the episodes. I was curious if anyone knows if there has been any discussion on whether there will be a master post/someone to coordinate donations of episodes, or if that's even possible? I've seen the first 2 eps and I believe in it enough that I'd be willing to donate in what way I can to help a few others see it.

Comment by Justine on October 13, 2016 at 3:14am: As I said on Youtube, I don't think I will get Youtube Red just for one show, but I will definitely purchase the episodes! :)
I was sad to hear the negativity you guys had about Buddy System, but I hope overall the reaction to it was positive!

The show is now listed on IMDB, albeit with minimal data entry for only Episode #1

Rhett and Link's Buddy System (TV Series 2016– ) - IMDb

I found it interesting that none of the Mythical Entertainment crewmembers (i.e. zip, zilch, zero, nil, naught, nada, nobody, "0", goose egg) are anywhere to be seen in the full cast and crew listing. Oversight or is there really that much separation between GMM and this new project?

Of course, it also still only lists Rhett McLaughlin (as himself) and Link Neal (as himself) on the CAST side, so it could be waiting for somebody on staff to backfill the information.

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo V2.0 on October 7, 2016 at 4:26pm: Here is my question of the day:

The "official" trailer for Rhett and Link's Buddy System aired during the live broadcast of the 6th Annual Streamy Awards show three days ago. So, why hasn't anybody associated with the show, either Mythical Entertainment or otherwise, uploaded the trailer to Youtube or pushed out via any other social media?

There are only 12 days left until the show premiers. One would certainly think that this would already be out there to hype up interest amongst the faithful viewers and to build a fan base. Will this be another case of "too little too late" on the social media from that could be detrimental to the show's viewership?

I personally believe this is why The Philip DeFranco Show won the Streamy Show of the Year award. If they never mobilize the troops, this will continue to happen year after year . . . GMM and other R&L branded channels have at least double the subscriber base (not counting overlap between multiple channels) and over 2x the VIEW PER VIDEO number of DeFranco’s channels.

K-Mod Comment by Gumbo123 on October 5, 2016 at 11:46am: From the trailer broadcast during last night's live stream of The Streamy Awards show, we also have a CONFIRMED date for the premiere of Episode #1 - -

K-Mod Comment by Victoria (Centauromadoose) on October 5, 2016 at 10:14am: A new, extended trailer for Buddy System aired exclusively during the Streamy Awards last night!

A Tumblr user managed to catch it and record it, which you can watch here: http://razle-dazle.tumblr.com/post/151362497005/awww-buddy-system-i...
