90, there is a checklist to fill out and dotted lines along which to cut it out – but would you want to write in the book or cut out the page? “Character Building – The Board Game” requires a die and a flat board surface, neither of which is possible with the book. Nice poster, funny, but printed across two pages and impossible to use.

34-35, you have a poster designed to make you “get lost”. 24-25), you’d have to write in the book to fill in the response cards, or else photocopy the page and then complete the test. So, each chapter in the book is along the same lines – it starts with a straight-faced introduction by Link and Rhett and is then followed by things to do, such as an interactive challenge or test (mix something up, embrace immaturity, invent something ridiculous, etc.)Īnd therein lies the problem: for instance, to do the “LCT – Laughter Compatibility Test” (pp. Their invention of the concept of “Mythicality”, defined as curiosity, creativity and tomfoolery, means that the content and presentation of each chapter looks a bit like a typical GMM episode – funky set and graphic design (some folksy, retro effects there) quizzes, lists, fan input and random crew involvement, and honest/non-faked human-guineapig reactions to weird tests from Link and Rhett, said guineapigs. I wondered why two guys who are so focused on Internet media, and have been digital for so long, would publish a printed paper book – apart from allowing them a long look back at their GMM project, and promoting the expansion of their YouTube channel this year.

Everything a super-fan ever wanted to know but never got to askįirstly, it reveals just about everything a GMM (Good Mythical Morning) super-fan, a “Mythical Beast”, would want to know about Rhett and Link’s personal lives – their “wifes” (separate wife each, not wives, shared), children, childhood, education, etc. So when they published a book, Rhett & Link’s Book of Mythicality, I went and bought it.

Usually the show is well-researched, not sweary, cheerful, short, funny and interesting. They are good-looking guys Rhett, very tall and blond, with a beard Link, average height and dark, with glasses. I thought their test for non-smear lipstick was just hilarious. They have special barf-buckets on set just for that. I get childishly amused when they do off-the-wall things, such as ask “Will it …Omelette?”, and then mix horrible things together in omelettes and eat the results. I have been watching Rhett and Link, a.k.a Rhett McLaughlin and Link (Charles) Neal, on their YouTube channel, Good Mythical Morning, for years. 10, 2017, 272 pages) Falls into genre of subjective non-fiction and/or narrative non-fiction.
