History WebVideo / HIVEMIND

HIVEMIND is a Youtube channel hosted by, in their own words, two white guys from the Midwest, Riley Savage and Graydon Weaver who make content such as vlogs, music videos, and original content. They're most known for their hip hop related quiz games, including "Guess the Rapper from the Really Old Song," "Guess the Album from the Features" and "Guess the Album from All the Songs Playing at Once." From their first video on September 1st, 2016, they have amassed over a hundred thousand subscribers as of November 2021. They are known for their weird and strange sense of humor and often crazy stories as well. They also have a DJ, DJ Grant Meeker, who is the one who plays the songs and tells them the right answers after the two are done guessing.

* HamAndDeadpanDuo: Not a perfect example, because Riley and Graydon go back and forth on being the straight man in the videos--but Graydon tends to do more slapstick style shock-comedy while Riley's jokes are more focused on wordplay and characters. Graydon says that it's like if Music/JCole and [[Film/TheThreeStooges Curly]] ran a [[=YouTube=] show together.

** Especially Brad Taste In Music compared to Riley and Graydon when he's been on the show.

** Riley is also experienced with and has a degree in art which is put to use in the Cartoon
Puns guessing game as well as creating visuals for other artists and music videos.

Quadeca: "That's fine. I think the people have earned that."

->'' Graydon, would you like to leave these people with any advice to leave or live their lives by?''

->''''My name's Riley, and as always I'm joined by my (insert word here) co-host Graydon."''

* "Testing the murky waters of comedy."

* {{Bromance}}: Their one-liners bracket is full of platonic "I love you's" towards each other.

* OurSloganIsTerrible: In Episode 15 of Feud, Riley proposes "Glory!" (a quote from Graydon in a previous video) to be their channel's slogan, which Graydon rejects. He then proposes, "That's not bugs, that's a bag of ranch!" to be their slogan, a nonsensical phrase he made up on the spot, and since Riley can't come up with anything else, Graydon decides it's their slogan now.

* AnimalsHateHim: Although maybe it wasn't a good idea for Graydon to provoke his pet goat Strudle as a kid, causing it to headbutt him.
* AnimalLover: Also Graydon.
* AuthorAppeal: The games they play on the main channel are mostly centered around hip-hop because Riley and Graydon are big fans of the genre, though they do discuss non-hip-hop artists a fair amount.

** Riley and Graydon have appeared on Fantano's channel to do a guess the real genre game

* PromotedFanboy: Quadeca was a fan of the show before he became a regular guest.

-->Grant: "These last two are very touching. Three is [[spoiler: my fat ass]] and one is [[spoiler: my huge cock.]]''

* ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvSmDkaEnck Daddy's Fancy Boat.]] Many commenters were confused as to why the guys were laughing so hard about it, thinking maybe it was a reference they weren't aware of. It's not a reference to anything, it just broke them.

** Graydon, as evidenced by some of his "advice" segments and some of his Instagram posts, reads and is knowledegable about poetry.

** Lyle Forever also known as Therapy Gecko appeared in a Best Tweet tier list video
