Hi there, hello, it's the trope page for Ryan George.Ryan George (born June 21, 1989 in Montreal, Quebec) is an actor and web video producer, known for his work with Screen Rant and his personal YouTube channel, where he regularly releases comedy sketch videos, usually a deconstruction of society that ends with a joke. His most popular variation on this concept is his "The First Guy" series, which depicts the first guy to do a mundane activity, such as swim, celebrate a birthday, or open a restaurant, with the joke being that it sounds ridiculous when described for the first time.With Screen Rant, he does voiceovers for videos, and also produced the hit Screen Rant Pitch Meetings. | |

All Men Are Perverts: The only way he got people to buy his "Sandwich with a Pretty Big Pickle in It" was to say that "if you buy it, women will want to sleep with you." Everyone at the network office immediately ordered multiple sandwiches. | |

When the team isn't buying the one guy's insistence that his suggested lyrics about pretending a snowman is "Parson Brown" and "a circus clown" are in any way relatable winter activities: | |

| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Big part of humor of "The First Guy to Ever..." series is that the titular characters do something in a vaguely modern era, but without some obvious-for-us things. | |

Verbal Tic | |
| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_26d1f65f | comment |
Verbal Tic: The various characters played by Ryan often use "freakin'" (pronounced "frickin'") as a filler word to describe something. The "Weird Pervert Guy" character often makes a creepy "Oooooohhh..." while grinning salaciously, which always makes the other characters incredibly uncomfortable and dreading what he's going to say. | |

Bad Present: A common theme of the "Time Traveller Discovers" series, where a reporter from the 90s is sent to whichever year the video was made in and is reporting back his findings to a 90s-era TV show. Practically every second sentence out of his mouth is some variation of the phrase, "I don't like it here, please send me back!" | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In "If Cats Were Able to Talk", Ryan asks a Genie to make his cat able to talk. As the genie points out, it takes humans about a year to learn to talk, so the cat just makes random, creepy vocalizations rather than speaking English. | |

Straw Fan | |
| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_462ea851 | comment |
Straw Fan: As the title suggests, "The First Guy to Ever Be a Toxic Fan" is a parody of creepy fans. A guy aimlessly makes some "Bah-bah-bah" sounds with his mouth, and gets hassled by someone who begs him to do more sounds even when he doesn't really want to, gets overly critical as soon as he makes a new sound before quickly insisting he do more of that sound, and accuses someone who becomes a fan of the same guy of being a "phony" for not knowing him as long as the first fan. Then when the sound-making guy expresses that it's at least nice to bring them joy with how "things are in the world right now," the fans lash out at him to "stay out of politics." | |

Cannot Convey Sarcasm: Subverted in "The Guy Who Invented Sarcasm."

It seems he really was excited about the meeting, however, and his sarcastic tone was accidental, since the actual guy who invented sarcasm was their coworker Roger. | |

False Reassurance: How Is The Ocean A Real Thing has the boss misunderstand his employee asking if anyone's ever died in the ocean and assumes he's talking about the break room he'd just mentioned. When "The First Guy to Ever Climb a Mountain" casually alludes to two of his cousins dying while helping him test out methods of climbing the "triangle", the guy he's talking to asks exactly how many cousins were lost in this venture. The climber-guy assures him it was "less than twenty." | |

Non-Indicative Name | |

Nonindicative Name: Several of the "How Things Got Their Names" videos provide explanations for various real-world examples of this trope; for example, the people responsible for naming bugs are so grossed out by images of a centipede and a millipede that they implore the chairman to just name them something that means "a hundred/thousand feet" so they can quickly move on, and refuse to look more closely to confirm if those numbers are accurate. | |

Gilligan Cut | |
| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_680f950 | comment |
Gilligan Cut: In "The First Guy to Ever Break an Arm," the guy in a plaid shirt tells the guy with a broken arm that the doctor can snap his arm back into place. The guy with a broken arm says, "Well, that sounds a little intense. I don't think he's gonna want to snap it back into place." Cut to the doctor's office: Subverted in "The First Guy To Ever Climb a Mountain," when the mountain climber assures that he's confident he won't freeze to death, then it cuts to an image of the mountain climber frozen to death... then cuts to the mountain climber holding the image of him frozen to death, explaining that he photoshopped it to show what it'd look like if he did freeze. | |

Deconstructive Parody: Most of his videos are this for Real Life and sometimes fictional traditions and phenomena that are otherwise taken for granted. The first guy to be a motivational speaker features an in-universe example: a story about a dog that joins a human basketball team and gets absolutely destroyed. | |

Covers Always Lie: The thumbnail for "Showing Off Our Cool Stuff To Other Dimensions" has a character talking about wasps. This does happen in the video, but only for the first minute; the next three or so minutes consist of an Author Tract about the dangers of social media algorithms, and the wasp bit only comes back briefly at the end. The thumbnail for "If Sports Started Playing Out like the 2020 Election" has the words "GOAL FRAUD." written on it. These words are not said at any point in the video. | |

All of Them: In "The First Guy To Ever Be King," when the other guy asks the king what he's in charge of, the king says "Just, you know, just all of it." Similarly in "Time Traveler Discovers Elon Musk", when the reporter explains that Space X's work on getting humans to Mars seems less about helping expand humanity's horizons and more of a cynical escape plan, he is asked "Escape from what?", and replies "Just... all of it." | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: "The Guy who Invented Sarcasm" begins with a guy responding to news of an office meeting in a sarcastic tone. Then his coworker Roger comes over and declares that he (Roger) just invented sarcasm, with Roger's coworkers telling him to go away. It's implied that the guy speaking in a sarcastic tone wasn't even doing it on purpose. In "Ghosts Are Bad At Revenge", the guy who just died learns the last thing he did was decide to jaywalk across a busy street, but it turns out he got stabbed to death before he could do it. "If Presidents Had Court Jesters" opens with the president insisting he get assistance from not his secretary of defense, but Blimpo, his court jester. In walks a guy in a full clown outfit... who is actually the secretary of defense called in on accident. The real Blimpo comes in next, and he's just dressed like an average businessman. | |

Catchphrase: In addition to the many that make up Pitch Meetings, his characters always greet each other by saying "Hi there, hello, it's me" and have a tendency to end sentences with "I/we decided". The "Adstronaut" who shows up at the end of sponsored videos to promote said sponsor, always opens his section with, "Hi there, hello, it's me, I'm the Adstronaut. I'm out here in ad-space to talk to you about [sponsor product]." Many characters love to respond to questions such as "Is that true?" (of a usually-implausible or even impossible idea) by aggressively shouting "It might be!" | |

| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: A lot. Frightened TikTok Star Finds A New Home (WHOLESOME) is a parody of wholesome animal adoption stories which features a Tik Toker as said animal. It makes fun of a lot of weird TikTok trends, including their weird dances, poses, and lip syncing. "The First Guy to Ever Get Ripped" ends with a "Media Guy" coming in to pressure the skinny guy to get as buff as the muscley guy, or else nobody will ever love him, then pushes weight loss tea, cologne, and a magazine subscription to help him get buff (or a sports car to compensate for his body) despite the actual buff guy saying that's not how he got muscles. This is clearly making fun of unrealistic media standards and marketing that exploits the viewers' insecurities with their body. The First Guy To Ever Sell Insurance is one to the insurance companies. People are expected to continuously pay for insurance for various aspects of their lives so that if one day something bad happens, the insurance provider will maybe pay for some of the costs, as opposed to the person in question just saving the money and putting it aside for such needs themselves. Insurance Guy even outright says his business model is "monetizing your anxiety". | |

The beginning of "The First Guy To Ever Be A Bodyguard" has the bodyguard bring up that he had gotten his new suit from a store called the "Soup Store" (though he mentions that it was likely actually called the "Suit Store"). In other words, he was buying clothes at the Soup Store. | |

Undisclosed Funds: The final ticket in "Buying Concert Tickets in 2023" isn't given a specific number as a price; it is, however, known that it will cost the buyer all of his money, his car, and his house. | |

| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_db99b292 | comment |
Mondegreen Gag: Occurs sometimes in the "How Things Got Their Names" sketches, where a staff member will say something unrelated to the situation, only for it to be misheard and used as a naming suggestion. | |

Unfortunate Names | |
| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_dd45df38 | comment |
Unfortunate Names: The First Guy To Ever Have A Name ends with this happening. While the person who created names makes a normal name (Ryan Baker) his two roommates both choose a name that's this trope (Bob Unemployed). | |

| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_e2a41c3b | comment |
In "How Tools Got Their Names," the employee in charge of naming the hammer got the idea for the name because he was eating a ham sandwich when the boss called on him. The jackhammer comes from another employee seeing the hammer employee still eating that ham sandwich ("jack-" coming in when the employee in charge of naming it gets told he can't name it the same as the hammer and has to come up with "[his] own name"… so he appends his first name to it to solve that). | |

Pokémon Speak | |
| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_e58e0124 | comment |
Pokémon Speak: One of the employees who name tools, Alex, can only say his own name in a strange voice. This is how the axe got its name, as Alex's name kind of sounded like "axe." A similar situation occurs in "How Sports Got Their Names", where an employee named Dennis just repeats his own name in enthusiastic-sounding tones, leading to the naming of tennis. Dennis is, at least, capable of saying a few other words, however- he is able to complain about the pain of "Dennis elbow". | |

| Ryan George (Web Video) / int_e624f0e8 | comment |
Suspiciously Specific Denial: In "The First Guy to Ever Open a Restaraunt," the customer is extremely suspicious about the fact that the owner won't allow him into the kitchen where the chef is making the food after the owner brings up the possibility of the chef "having an itchy a**hole" while he prepares the food. "When Fast Food Restaurants Give Out Toys" introduces a mascot named Pickles, "The Pickle who Doesn't Bite." In "The First Guy to Ever Climb a Mountain", said guy explains that you can't just drive up the "triangle" because the car would flip backwards, explode, and "your cousin Ron'll die but you'll make it out on time." In "The First Guy to Ever Open A Buffet", the waiter offers a customer some bread like this: In "90s Time Traveler Discovers AI", the newscaster's latest excuse for why they can't bring the reporter back to the 90s is that the time machine has apparently been hijacked by someone from the very distant future, whom the newscaster thinks seems very friendly... | |

Exact Words: At the end of "The First Guy to Ride a Horse," the horse-rider defends his confidence in riding horses with, "This isn't my first rodeo." His boss is confused about what a "rodeo" is, and is even more confused when the rider explains it's another idea he just had recently. The rider reiterates that this indeed isn't his first rodeo, because he hasn't scheduled his first rodeo yet. | |

One-Steve Limit: Discussed in "The First Guy to Ever Have a Name" when Ryan's two friends decide their new "sound" is going to be Bob, so Ryan comes up with the idea of last names to distinguish them. However, when Ryan comes up with the idea of last names based on your profession, they both end up with the name Bob Unemployed. Averted in "The First Guy to Ever Win an Award" when three out of five award nominees are named "Billy" with no last name. The host is grateful that none of them win, as it could've been confusing. | |

Brick Joke: In "The First Guy to Ever Open a Restaurant", the owner tells the potential customer that he's going to walk into the building and that it's going to be very unclear if the owner wants the customer to follow him. At the end of the video, that's exactly what happens. In "The First Guy to Ever Get Ripped", the muscly guy tells the construction worker Jim building his weightlifting room to work on that fourth wall. At the end of the video, when the skinny guy points out that the muscly guy's buff body is just a Photoshopped image, the wall collapses around them and the construction worker remarks that "the fourth wall just shattered." In "First Day As A Sports Coach", the assistant coach confesses that he poisoned the coach soup in the hope of becoming the new coach but instead they called in a substitute coach because he had a stronger moustache. At the end of the video, when he realizes the substitute coach is really bad at his job, the assistant coach asks him if he wants some soup, to which he obliviously responds he would love to. | |
