THE TRAGEDY (Part 2) - - from the commercial bumpers for Commercial Kings, Season One

ROAD RASH ! ! !

Rhett – - “Link, are you hurt? Just walk it off.”

Link – - “Hold on . . . I’m just coming to. Evidently I’ve hurt my left hip”

. . . and my right foot . . . and my left arm . . . and my right knee . . . and my right elbow . . . and my right shoulder . . . and . . . and . . . Hold on . . . I’m just coming to.

This is such a powerful post — thank you for sharing The Tragedy as told by Rhett and experienced by Link. It’s deeply moving to hear their personal vulnerability, and I really appreciate how the community preserves this in written form (and even includes the original PDF).

What stands out is their raw honesty: Link’s struggle, the pain, and Rhett reading it aloud — it all feels so genuine and emotional. It’s moments like these that remind you how real their friendship and history are.

This forum is truly special — it’s not just a fandom space but a place where we can engage with their most human and introspective moments. The care put into archiving something like this shows how much the Mythical Beast community cares.
