The Try Guys is an American online entertainment group and media production company that produces content for their YouTube channel.
The group was founded by Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang.
As of October 2022[update], the channel hosts eleven spinoff series starring employees of the company and other collaborators.
The group was formed at the company BuzzFeed in 2014 by then-employees Eugene Lee Yang, Ned Fulmer, Keith Habersberger, and Zach Kornfeld[3] with the creation of their first video "Guys Try Ladies' Underwear for the First Time".
Their most-watched video, "The Try Guys Try Labor Pain Simulation", has garnered over 35 million views as of March 2021.

The Hidden Power of F*cking Up reached the number one position on the New York Times Best Seller list in the self help, advice, and miscellaneous category soon after its release.
The series covers sport climbing, taekwondo, rhythmic gymnastics, hammer throw, artistic swimming, breaking, badminton, and fencing—telling viewers how each event is scored, how to win, and what it takes to master these athletic disciplines.
[...] The Try Guys had to act quickly when Ned's character as a devoted husband and father fell apart and breached an essential contract with the audience.
[54] Habersberger is part of the comedy music group Lewberger with Hughie Stone Fish and Alex Lewis.
He became involved in filmmaking and editing after receiving a LEGO Steven Spielberg Movie Maker Kit as a child.

[89][90][91][92][93][94] The Verge highlighted that much of Fulmer's "public persona revolves around being a husband" and that he "successfully built a fanbase and brand around this relationship specifically", calling him a "wife guy".
On May 4, 2019, The Try Guys announced via YouTube that they would be embarking on a 20 city, nationwide tour (called “Legends of the Internet”) as a part of their “Summer of Try”.
