TRY'ers
- John Sharpson (@SHARPY0077)
- Leather Jacket Guy (@AREYAHAVINGTHAT)
- Kellie Hughes (@HERESKELLIE)
- Seán Connolly (@THESONICSCREW)
- Ciara O'Doherty (@CIARAODOHERTY)
- George Fox (@COMEDYFOX)
Alcohols
- Smirnoff Vodka 50%
- Knob Creek Whiskey 60%
- Cruzan Rum 75.5%
- Clear Spring Grain Alcohol 95%
Tropes:
- Beer Goggles: Ciara gets hit with this toward the end of the video.Ciara: I literally just noticed, you've got the fucking greenest eyes I've ever seen. And this is definitely alcohol that I'm like "They're so green!"
- Blatant Lies: Ciara was told that her first (alcohol) shoot would be "easing into it"- beer, "or something"; obviously, 95% isn't easing into anything.
- Breakout Character: Ciara receives a LOT of comments on YouTube whenever she's in an alcohol video, and this is the first one.
- Broke the Rating Scale: Sean and Kellie.Sean: (*slurring*) Kellie, which was the best and which was the worst?Kellie: They were allllll a bunch of anus.
- Don't Try This at Home: Drinking undiluted 95% alcohol is generally a bad idea; John and LJG say they're "trained professionals", and "Don't do [this]."
- Immediate Self-Contradiction: "Great, lovely, bring it- ohh, I don't think I can do any more...." — Kellie
- Ironic Echo: Seán claims that, since he (as a producer) made other TRY'ers do the "Disgusting Shots" video, "for penance" he did this video. (Kellie is another producer, and has no idea why she's involved.)
- Noodle Incident: Implied, as part of the the Stacy's Mom entry below; when LJG suggests that one of the liquors would make you kiss "your best friend's mother," John asks, "Again?"
- Oh, Crap!/Precision F-Strike: "Holey gamoley..."; "Fuck me." For the Clear Spring, but what would you expect?
- Separated by a Common Language: "Comment below if "Knob" means "knob"...."
- Shout-Out:
- Super Mario Bros. (Humming part of the theme.)
- Aquaman
- Stacy's Mom: "That's the sort of bottle of trouble where, in a half an hour's time, you'll be kissing your best friend's mother."
- Understatement: Referring to the rum... "That's strong." (Considering it's 151 proof, well....)
- The Unintelligible: Lampshaded by John (during the rum segment), where he couldn't string a sentence together. Also, Seán at one point mentions that he's having difficulties, too.
