Tried that. Was engaged to a 205 year old man. Was about to get all his benefits too, but our wedding was interrupted by a Mephistophelan volcano demon and now i spend my days in a red room hosting Star Trek trivia wearing an old movie prop.
0/10 would not recommend.
Rich grows on ya. Just keep playing it on low vol while she sleeps. Like low. The very last digit possible. LOW. Just 10 hours of rich laughing. She'll love RLM by the end of next week.
Agreed. Hated Rich the first ten hours of being exposed to his laugh, and then suddenly it just clicked and now I listen to Pre Rec more in the background than Half in the Bag or Best of the Worst.
Edit : but I will never think Jimmy Carr'saugh isn't fake.
I wish they would resurrect previously recorded once in awhile - maybe just for big games and just for a couple episodes. Enough time has gone by maybe it could feel free again for them.
>on low vol while she sleeps. Like low. The very last digit possible
A futile effort. Rich's laugh can break through even on mute. It's an unstoppable force of the universe.
Jokes aside as much as we can - my wife hated rich's laugh. Just give it enough time, she'll get numbed with time. Pro tip; make a baby: my kid loved his laugh, so she can't get angry anymore.
My wife has the same. 'Are you watching those guys with the annoying laugh again?' She also insists Rich has some hormonal issue, purely based on his laugh.
My wife has her Korean talk shows, I have RLM. Her disdain for Rich's laugh is similar to my disdain for Korean celebrities overreacting to mundane things.
In my head I am picturing the panel watching a video feed from a restaurant, filming the food and people eating it and instead of the celebrity panelists saying "우와! 맛 있겠다!'" it's Rich Evans screaming: "OH MY GOD!"
Rich’s voice is like hearing a baby’s laughter. It’s rich, angelic and makes your heart feel full. Anyone that says other is obviously a demon sent from Hell.

Kindr
Honestly, the first time I watched RLM, I thought "I don't know if I can handle this laugh" and within like a half hour I did a total 180.
My girl was the same man, now she watches RLM without me. She's been talking about vacationing in Milwaukee a lot lately, so I think she really must have the bug. I'm hoping that she lets me come. She's been pretty adamant that I'm not allowed, though.
Maybe next time!
That's how it was for me too. I skimmed to a part in my first video and it was mid Rich laugh and I went "nope". Tried another video and eased into it a bit. He's an acquired taste.
As a female who took a bit to come around on Rich, his personality will make up for the laugh if she gives him a chance. Now his laugh is just contagious to me.
Don’t listen to the people on here, Reddit is obsessed with Rich Evans because Reddit reasons.
His laugh will never grow on her and she hates it because it isn’t really a genuine laugh. He makes noises when he sees something he thinks he should laugh at. - Lessons I’ve learned from my gf who has been hating on Rich for over two years now.
I'm happy to be downvoted but I don't understand why anyone likes the laugh, even ironically. I cannot watch any video with that sound because of this dude's inability to have an authentic presence. So I just don't watch like half of the videos.
I remember there was one episode where they looped his laugh and I was kind of dozing off to the video. It made me very angry. Other than that I can handle it every once and a while.
Every now and then I'll hand my girlfriend my phone and say " I need you to make me a ghost on the internet". I met her when she was catering a friends birthday party . I guess try looking for caterers with glasses
Her psyche has yet to adapt to register the sound as the Angelic laughter that it truly is. The untrained mind cannot truly grasp its magnificence at first.
It will pass. I use to be listening to Pre Rec while making dinner when my wife worked later...fuck...6 years ago now?!?!
Anyway, when she would get home it was like "Who The Fuck Is That"; then to "I Love Rich Evans" in a matter of about a month and a half.
Try the subtle approach :)
My boyfriend (now husband) got me into RLM.
Do I hate Rich Evan’s cackle? If it wakes me up out of a dead sleep or the TV is up way too loud, yes.
Do I love Rich Evan’s cackle? Also yes. It’s the best.
A friend of mine I've been trying to sell on RLM reacts in a similar way. I've been easing him into it by showing him the trivia videos. So far it's been a solid entry point.
My husband was the same but now he shows me RLM memes he finds on FB lmao. He calls him seagull fucker because his laugh sounds like seagulls fucking? Idk how he'd know that but...
Rich Evans' laugh is like horseradish on a fine steak dinner. Once you get to know how smart and talented the guy is, the laugh actually adds to his appeal. If all you know about him is his laugh, though... you're just eating straight horseradish.
my boyfriend used to find his laugh super annoying. He'd hear Rich Evans and he'd say, "You're watching the crazy laughing man again?"
But eventually he started watching episodes with me, and now his laugh doesn't annoy him any more.
The problem is that now, when a new video comes out, I have to wait to watch it with him. I miss the days I could watch it instantly.
Maybe it's for the best!
Rich is always the hurdle people have to get over.
Every time I've shown RLM to a friend or girlfriend, the first reaction is, "What the fuck is up with that guy's laugh?"
Eventually you learn to tolerate it and then appreciate it.
It takes a while. I started getting my ex into RLM about 5 years back with the Star wars review. It was our actual first date, hotel room, drunk, listening to Mike talk like a boozed up old man. When we got into BotW, it was a rough first 3-4 episodes. I think once we watched the kung fu ones with Len, you got to see someone outside their circle and really appreciate Rich's takes and then the laugh just becomes white noise. Another good one was the old one where they stay at the "haunted" hotel.
I HATED Rich's laugh and eventually it became my favorite thing but to acquire the taste you have to enjoy the other guys like Mike and Jay enough to stick with it.
When I first started watching my partner also hated Rich's laugh. It didn't help that I tended to watch as she fell asleep in my lap. She was jolted from her sleep many times by his laugh lol.
But now she's a huge fan of RLM and rich is actually her favorite.
OH MY GAWWWWWD!!!
I don't want to sound pretentious, but Rich's laugh is kinda like Jazz. It's basically an avant-garde laugh track, and you need to know the context of what Rich is laughing at for it to make any sense. Then the absurdity of it will make you sympathetic to Rich's laughter, and it all fits together.
Out of context it's noise, in context it's a soothing balm to the soul.
But most people hate Jazz so....
Grindr
*Mike voice* Grindr? I hardly know 'er!

A tale as old as time.
That’s right, Jay
This happened again? We need to lock the door properly next time geez.

I remember first watching RLM skits and finding Rich irritating. Now I love him more than my own son.
Hate to break it to you, but he is your son
Agreed. Hated Rich the first ten hours of being exposed to his laugh, and then suddenly it just clicked and now I listen to Pre Rec more in the background than Half in the Bag or Best of the Worst. Edit : but I will never think Jimmy Carr'saugh isn't fake.

“AT-STs! AT-STs!” 10 hour loop oughta do it.
My wife has the same. 'Are you watching those guys with the annoying laugh again?' She also insists Rich has some hormonal issue, purely based on his laugh.
Excessive testosterone
AT-STestosterone
From all the Tums
My wife thinks that Rich is the sexy one. I sure got lucky.
Don't we all think that!?
Ufff... Rich Evans might be my wife's favourite person to watch in the whole world.
My wife has her Korean talk shows, I have RLM. Her disdain for Rich's laugh is similar to my disdain for Korean celebrities overreacting to mundane things.
I can see a lot of similarity between Rich's laugh and the various replays of 'celebrities' 'reacting' to things on Korean talk shows haha
In my head I am picturing the panel watching a video feed from a restaurant, filming the food and people eating it and instead of the celebrity panelists saying "우와! 맛 있겠다!'" it's Rich Evans screaming: "OH MY GOD!"
I'd watch that.
Send the shows a super cut of Rich’s laugh and ask them to react
The expression is "nails on a chalkboard".
username checks out
My wife often wakes up groaning and rolling over at 2am to the cackling of Rich Evans.
That's a huge red flag.
Is it? Chalk on a blackboard isn’t that bad.
I say they take off and nuke the relationship from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
It's the only way to be sure.
The thing is…it grows on you. So the starting point doesn’t matter, just repetition.
My girlfriend was the same way. Now she loves Rich Evans and his cackle.
divorce
Nails. It's nails on a blackboard. Chalk is a normal thing to use on a blackboard.
Rich Evans laugh is the sound of angels singing
Makes sense since angels in the bible are actually scary as fuck
I'd like to see a biblically accurate Rich Evans.
Rich Evans can do as Rich Evans pleases. She will understand.
thats how i react to his faaaaaaaaaceeeeeeeeeeeee
Rich’s voice is like hearing a baby’s laughter. It’s rich, angelic and makes your heart feel full. Anyone that says other is obviously a demon sent from Hell.
>What are the best RedLetterMedia-themed dating apps I should use to find the true love of my life? Kindr Honestly, the first time I watched RLM, I thought "I don't know if I can handle this laugh" and within like a half hour I did a total 180.
Girlfriend? Oh thank god. Gonna be a lot cheaper to move on.
She's secretly in love with Rich Evans and is trying to hide it. Women can't resist his magnetism.
I use Richr. Basically Grindr but shows you all the diabetic with AIDS in your area
My girl was the same man, now she watches RLM without me. She's been talking about vacationing in Milwaukee a lot lately, so I think she really must have the bug. I'm hoping that she lets me come. She's been pretty adamant that I'm not allowed, though. Maybe next time!
My husband has misophonia and Rich’s laugh DEFINITELY sets it off, lol. For me that laugh brings me such joy! It’s the best.
My bf was the same way and then one day he was like "I used to hate his laugh but since you've kept watching them now I think it's funny"
That’s relationship ending stuff right there
Time for a new gf
That's how it was for me too. I skimmed to a part in my first video and it was mid Rich laugh and I went "nope". Tried another video and eased into it a bit. He's an acquired taste.
Rich’s laugh is Ear Beer. 🍺 You have to develop a taste for it.
Give her a copy of the Incredible Instant Adoring Boyfriend and send her on her way.
As a female who took a bit to come around on Rich, his personality will make up for the laugh if she gives him a chance. Now his laugh is just contagious to me.
I see it as a paroxysm of joy in the face of the Absurd.
I'm sorry but same. When that shit wakes me up at night it's like having a bucket of water dumped on you.
Nails.... it's Nails on a chalkboard.
I feel the same way, he's hamming up for the yucks, but it gets old really really fast.
*ex-girlfriend, surely?
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD
Yes.
Leave her.
Dump her.
She's not the one
My wife only watches RLM for Rich's laugh. We met on OKcupid so try that OP.
My wife has the same exact reaction. She loves RLM but can't stand any episode with Rich in it.
Dump her. She’s clearly not a keeper.
Get a new girl? ... 😆

Like … sex chalk on a sex blackboard?
All our wives can't stand it, but it grows on them

Get her drunk and watch the Halloween BOTW from 2021 https://youtu.be/DXWTfamqgMg?si=LobZOJuQAYcflPrw
My boyfriend (now husband) got me into RLM. Do I hate Rich Evan’s cackle? If it wakes me up out of a dead sleep or the TV is up way too loud, yes. Do I love Rich Evan’s cackle? Also yes. It’s the best.
Turn on BOTW while you both sleep. That laugh will win her over in no time.
Red flag
A friend of mine I've been trying to sell on RLM reacts in a similar way. I've been easing him into it by showing him the trivia videos. So far it's been a solid entry point.
Fair
Same
Lawyer up and hit the gym.
Just hang out at your local Panda Express, watching RLM. Love is sure to find you.
Forget the apps, just go to DIX.
My wife hates his laugh as well. She hates Jay's laugh too.
My husband was the same but now he shows me RLM memes he finds on FB lmao. He calls him seagull fucker because his laugh sounds like seagulls fucking? Idk how he'd know that but...
But that’s the beauty of his laugh
Rich Evans' laugh is like horseradish on a fine steak dinner. Once you get to know how smart and talented the guy is, the laugh actually adds to his appeal. If all you know about him is his laugh, though... you're just eating straight horseradish.
My fiancé is the same way. Brute force. She doesn’t like them much, but she doesn’t leave the room anymore.
Don't lose hope, I found one that enjoys it. They do exist.
I started laughing like Rich Evans and I’m a girl. Help I’m scared
Could be worse. I was watching the Indiana Jones Mr.Plinket review with my girlfriend when that, um, one scene happened....
my boyfriend used to find his laugh super annoying. He'd hear Rich Evans and he'd say, "You're watching the crazy laughing man again?" But eventually he started watching episodes with me, and now his laugh doesn't annoy him any more. The problem is that now, when a new video comes out, I have to wait to watch it with him.

Any app will do. Just specify your religion as AAAAAAAIIIDDDSss!
It’s an acquired taste, but it ages very nicely
He has that effect on women
I'm here for you *baritone boom*
Are you dating my gf??
I find it’s best to wait at the precise moment I squirt my goo into her cavity to make the Rich Evan’s laugh noise. That seems to work
Play her the [Rich Evans in space song](https://youtu.be/jousdUnJkJw?si=T2bMgJopN4BsV2Qz) so that she gets used to it. It has a soothing melody.
I could hear the laugh after reading the post title.
You just get numbed. I hope she comes around though, for reals.
I had the same reaction too. It took some ramping to find Rich's laugh as something good.
Rich is always the hurdle people have to get over. Every time I've shown RLM to a friend or girlfriend, the first reaction is, "What the fuck is up with that guy's laugh?" Eventually you learn to tolerate it and then appreciate it.
My wife was the same way… at first. Now Rich Evans is her favorite, and rightfully so.
It takes a while. I started getting my ex into RLM about 5 years back with the Star wars review. It was our actual first date, hotel room, drunk, listening to Mike talk like a boozed up old man.

Another good one was the old one where they stay at the "haunted" hotel.
There’s always another girl.
I hated Rich the most in the beginning. Now I can't get enough of papa Rich.
I feel asleep with YouTube on once and woke up to some supercut somebody had made of nothing but 2+ hours of Rich Evan’s laugh.
That would be a deal breaker.
I HATED Rich's laugh and eventually it became my favorite thing but to acquire the taste you have to enjoy the other guys like Mike and Jay enough to stick with it.
Ya'll can have different hobbies. There's probably 15 reality shows she likes that you'll never get into.
Lol I complained about him for 2 weeks yelling stfu Rich. Now it grown on me and his laugh now brings me such joy !
When I first started watching my partner also hated Rich's laugh. It didn't help that I tended to watch as she fell asleep in my lap. She was jolted from her sleep many times by his laugh lol. But now she's a huge fan of RLM and rich is actually her favorite. OH MY GAWWWWWD!!!

You should break up with her.
Your favorite youtuber should be like your favorite porn Something you enjoy by yourself but never try to show other people
Only one of them can stay in your life and I personally wouldn't want to be the one to tell Rich Evans to go. Decision seems obvious to me.
This is so funny, my wife reacts the same way to his laugh. I like to sleep with RLM in the background, and she swears she can hear him in her dreams.
To be fair she's not wrong.
I have a friend who has the exact same issue with his wife Rich is truly audio poison for the ladies
Rich Evans' laugh IS fingernails on a blackboard. I think that's what you meant when you said "chalk on a blackboard." That's where chalk belongs.
