- Happy New Year's Eve Eve Eve Eve.
- As you know, we've partnered with
St. Jude Children's Hospital in their
Thanks and Giving campaign and we need your help.
- Yeah so instead of buying those 2019 sunglasses
that you're only gonna wear on New Year's Eve
and then throw away, why not donate that money to St. Jude?
Just click the blue donate button on your screen.
- Thanks for being your Mythical best.
- What was your favorite episode of 2018?
- Let's talk about that.
(alarm rings) (playful music)
(fire blasts)
Good Mythical special holiday episode.
- And it is our final episode of 2018.
- Hey. - And what a year it has been.
If you wanna know just how great it's been,
we encourage you to watch our first four best-of episodes
from this week and you might as well watch
every episode from the year while you're at it.
It is the perfect thing to watch with your family
or the perfect way to avoid your family.
- Right.
- Sincerely we do wanna thank you so much for
making us a part of your daily routine in 2018.
- And now, let's put a bow on the year that was
with our top five episodes as voted on by you.
Let's begin.
- [Stevie] Coming in at number five, it's Guess That Laugh
with Zach Braff.
- Basically, a person's laugh, science says,
is both involuntary and contagious,
so much so that you cannot pick up on identity cues,
i.e. you cannot guess the person if it's a stranger
if you were to say turn around and pick out the laugh.
Our goal today is to prove science wrong.
And we have a new potential laugher to meet.
- That's right.
(all laughing)
- That's right. - That's right.
- What's your name? - My name is India.
- That's right.
- She's playing it close-- - See it on your name tag.
- That's right.
- Playing it close to the jean jacket.
- She has a catch phrase. - She does.
- It's like, did I do that?
(laughing)
- [Stevie] Okay could our laugher please step up
to the mic and laugh?
(chuckles happily)
- Ooh.
- Melodic. - Mm-hm.
- [Stevie] Okay you may take off your blindfolds.
- You could loop that and it would,
Drake would be all over that or something.
- All right I've got my suspicions but I do
wanna use a lifeline.
India, please describe your process for picking out fruit
at the grocery store.
- First I go to the bananas and I feel those
to see how firm they are.
(laughing) - That's right.
- [Link] That's right!
(crew laughing)
- Yeah you do, India. - Priorities.
- I walk right up to those bananas.
(laughing)
- Then what? - What happens next?
- [Link] That's a good question.
- [Rhett] You go to the kiwis, don't you?
- Grapefruits.
- Grapefruits, okay, all right.
- [Stevie] All right, Rhett.
- Curveball.
I think it's Julianne.
- [Stevie] Zach.
- I just want to hear her talk and laugh
and maybe go on a date, India.
- I just wanna win this game, I think it's India too.
- [Stevie] Will the real laugher please step forward?
- Yes! - No!
- Woo! - What?
- Yeah! - I cannot win a round!
- You thought you had a connection.
- I thought we connected.
- Now my perfect date would have started with
feeling the bananas too.
- Ho ho! - Okay, Julianne.
- Uh-oh. - Wow.
- This show's gonna need to be censored.
(laughs)
- Yeah, we crossed the line there
and Zach got uncomfortable. (chuckles)
- No he didn't, he wasn't uncomfortable.
- I'm joking, Link.
- Zach was not uncomfortable.
- It's called sarcasm. - He loved it.
- Look it up.
- All right I love that episode too.
Great format. - All right, okay.
Let's see what else we got into.
- [Stevie] Our number four episode is Will It Chip?
- Typically, I am not a fan of yak penis.
(Link sputters) See it on a menu,
I certainly won't order it.
If it's being served at a party, I will politely decline it.
Quite honestly, there is no conceivable situation
in which I can see myself enjoying yak penis!
- Yeah, you're not the only one.
- Which is exactly the opposite feeling I have about chips,
so, I don't know, maybe this will open up a whole new world
of yak penis. - We call these
yak penis chips just the chip.
- Open that up.
We have had some yak penis pan seared and chopped it up
and threw it in a high dollar mixer known as a Vitamix,
which it proceeded to break. - Yeah.
- This yak penis is the most durable substance
on the planet.
- It broke a freakin' Vitamix.
- It burned it up. - I wish I could tell the yak.
I wish I could say, man,
let me tell you what your penis did.
(laughing)
- Ooh.
- Hm.
(crew laughs)
Get somebody to call Earl.
Not only did you ruin the Vitamix--
- You made a nice tasting chip.
- Yeah.
(crew laughs)
- Earl. - I mean,
my expectations were so in the negative.
- Yeah. - I think it just brought 'em
back to zero. - The texture is difficult.
I mean, this is some tough penis, man.
- I think we gotta dip. - We gotta dip.
Now I'll go in the--
- [Rhett] I'm doing the penis de gallo.
- I'll go in the guacapenis, what's it called?
- Yeah, guacapenis, exactly.
I think it's yakamole but whatever.
Guacapenis.
I'm getting a little of the, you know,
straight penis.
Well that's probably-- - Don't, don't.
- Wrong way to put it.
- Don't put those words together.
- Don't put that on the t-shirt.
- Unadulterated penis.
Oh don't say that either.
Okay, I mean, it's palatable.
It's not as bad as the fish chip, but--
- I mean I can't say I'm enjoying myself,
but I don't wanna die.
- Right so I wanna keep living.
- I mean based on the expectations coming to this,
will it chip?
- No.
- Would you rather just have a straight penis?
I mean-- (chuckling)
- Don't do that again! - I'm sorry!
I swear I don't mean--
- But since you asked, no.
- (laughs) Okay.
All right,
I'll join the bandwagon, will it penis?
I mean-- (laughing)
- What is wrong with you?
(chuckling)
That's another episode, man.
- Yeah, write that--
- Write it down. - Write that down.
Oh. - Oh.
I think we definitely reached our penis quota
in that episode.
- Yeah yeah yeah we did.
We still haven't done Will It Penis though.
- We got an email.
- Yeah.
- About Will It Penis so it's like--
- Somebody basically-- - Multiple paragraphs.
- Outlined the whole episode. - A pitch
to do the whole thing. - Of how we can do that.
- Did all the work for us except for eating.
- Yeah yeah.
- And that's the part we're not doing.
- Once I saw, it really wasn't about eating it,
if I remember the email correctly.
- Oh yeah.
- And seeing how, just seeing how they laid out
the whole episode, it confirmed that we will not
be doing Will It Penis. - Right.
- It will just exist-- - Laid out.
- As a concept. - The episode.
- Okay, let's keep going.
- [Stevie] At number three,
it's Putting Weird Things Through a Water Filter.
- We are gonna push water filters past their limit
by sending non-water substances through them and noting,
for science and posterity, what happens.
I don't know if the mountain is gonna come out or the dew.
- I think the mountain's gonna stay in the filter
and the dew's gonna come out in the wash.
There's no carbonation.
There's very little color.
That's the dew, that's the dew, bro.
Bro, that's just the dew.
- Hey, it completely filtered out all of the mountain.
- And now we just have mountain in this filter.
We could sell mountain filters.
- Yes. - You want a filter
that's just got mountain in it?
- There it is. - I'd buy that.
- $80.
- Good price.
Take a swig.
You know what Mountain Dew tastes like.
Not as good as Mello Yello.
- I'm gonna hold my reaction until...
- I can still taste Mountain Dew.
- I can't.
Because I tasted Mountain Dew right beforehand.
- Yeah, I think it put me in the perfect,
it put me right in-- - I thought it was
freakin' just straight up water!
- Next to Mountain Dew you probably thought that.
- I was freakin' out inside and just waiting for you
to join me.
I thought we were gonna have like a mountaintop celebration.
- I'm sorry I let you down.
- Yeah you did, you did.
- But that was quite a moment.
- It was, and then we put lots of stuff through stuff
after that, that was the beginning of something.
- That was the beginning of Putting Things in Things, man.
- But that's not the beginning or the end of this.
There's other greater episodes I'm told.
- Yes.
- [Stevie] Our number two spot was actually
our number one BFF moment of the year.
Turning Link into a human chocolate fountain.
- Let's relive that. - Yes.
(laughs)
- Oh. - Yeah.
- Woo!
Woo!
Woo, look at me, Dad!
I made it!
Woo!
All right.
- I hate to ask you to do this,
but can you pee into my mouth?
- Take a knee, son.
Take a knee, son.
(crew laughing)
Nothing wrong with this!
(both laughing)
Welcome to the internet, fam!
Fam.
(laughing excitedly)
Woo!
I win the internet today!
At least for the next two minutes!
- I've never felt closer to you. (laughs)
- Look at me, Dad, I made it.
- I love the fact that we got to relive that moment--
- Oh yeah. - Three times this year.
When it happened-- - Twice this week.
- Earlier this week and now again.
- Whew, okay, so this brings us to the best episode
of the year.
Do you have any guesses what it might be?
I don't, I don't have a clue what it might be.
- I can't name one episode of this show.
(crew laughs)
Just off the top of my head.
- Hold on, hold on, we can figure this out.
What is the number one-- - The best episode?
I got nothing, I don't know.
- Yeah me neither, man.
- I love them all equally like, well like,
at least two out of three of my children.
Just kidding.
All right but let's-- - Let's see it.
The moment of truth.
- [Stevie] And the number one episode of 2018 is
Nursery Raps with Post Malone.
- [Link] Yes, of course.

- Yes, okay--

that would have been my guess.
- Yeah that's my favorite.
- 'Cause I've actually-- - Good votin', y'all.
