i think my favourite part of the ratfish episodes are the fact that it's the most accurate portrayal of friendship i can think of. here's all your friends but they're anonymous, make each other laugh. it's always one specific thing that would make no one else bat an eye that makes you get made by someone else. katie made a joke about anti-depressants and immediately got clocked by rekha. zac mentioned publix and grant went "that's zac." grant chose a bette midler song and ally went "gay ass. probably grant." zac didn't get any vibes at all from steven and realised he knows his friends better than this. i do not know this person in real life.
As someone who’s never seen anything Tim and Eric related, the plot twist of who Steven was just seemed hilarious. Like this big reveal that’s been weighing on us for the whole episode, and my first thought was “Who the fuck is this guy?”
I want so badly for Dropout to make an online playable version of Ratfish where you can either play with a group of friends or as a ratfish infiltrating other friend groups. Like.
Imagine playing this with your friends online. Or. Infiltrating strangers friend groups. Imagine playing what is basically a jackbox game with your friends and a random stranger. Like. Among us but also a jackbox game.
personally i think the players should've gotten to vote who was the favourite character each time bc that just felt a bit weird. they were just too scared of the granma sweetie sweep they knew would happen
