The Try Guys is a comedy quartet known for their willingness to try anything and everything, all in the name of better understanding the people and world around them. They're video producers with a keen understanding of and passion for the viral landscape, creating positive (often comedic) content with an eye for repeatable formats and shows, constantly testing and iterating in a quest to discover new hits. Also, they take their pants off on camera a lot. Earlier this year they split off from BuzzFeed to form 2nd Try, an independent production company with an aim to expand their brand both within the digital landscape and beyond.
