The first video of the guys was entitled “Guys Try On Ladies’ Underwear For The First Time”, which became an instant hit. Encouraged by this success, they made another three weeks later, entitled “Men Try On Ladies’ Sexy Halloween Costumes”, which became even more successful. The quartet decided to make new videos and made their show an official BuzzFeed production. They have become extremely popular, with more than four million subscribers on their official YouTube channel, on which you can see all of his videos as The Try Guys and many more.
