History
BuzzFeed era (2014–2018)
The group was formed at the company BuzzFeed in 2014 by then-employees Eugene Lee Yang, Ned Fulmer, Keith Habersberger, and Zach Kornfeld with the creation of their first video "Guys Try Ladies' Underwear for the First Time". Elizabeth de Luna for MTV News highlighted that "in 2014, BuzzFeed had not yet developed a show around a recurring cast. [...] The Try Guys was the first series to consistently feature the same group of talent. It was also the first to turn BuzzFeed producers into on-camera personalities, a motif that now anchors BuzzFeed's original programming".
