Good Mythical Morning: Season 31 Review - Rhett & Link

Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t a fresh concept. The show first premiered way back in January 2012, but we’re here to talk about the now. Season 31, which launched this week, dives straight into the deep end of what makes this series tick. We’re talking daily episodes, Monday through Friday, each one clocking in at a brisk 10 minutes. It’s the perfect lunch-break binge or commuting companion.

While the format remains familiar - two best friends in a warehouse doing the weirdest things imaginable - this season feels notably more refined. They’re leaning into the legacy. There’s a palpable sense of them celebrating their own mythology, referencing old bits and inside references that reward long-time viewers, while still keeping the door wide open for newcomers who just want to watch two dudes eat questionable food items. The production value has never been crisper, and the comedic timing is, as always, flawless. It’s a victory lap of a season that somehow still feels like it’s sprinting forward.

Let’s talk about the magic of Rhett and Link. In Season 31, the duo proves they haven’t lost a single step in their comedic banter. Their dynamic is the real MVP here - Link’s frantic, slightly unhinged energy perfectly balancing Rhett’s smug, calculated beard-wisdom. The "Will It?" format, their bread and butter, returns with all the glory you’d expect. Watching them blend odd ingredients into a smoothie that looks like swamp water and then actually drinking it? That’s appointment viewing.

But it’s the smaller, unscripted moments that make this season shine. The show thrives on the tension between their curated bits and the spontaneous breakdowns that happen when a challenge goes horribly wrong. You can tell they’re genuinely having fun again. There’s a spark of joy in their eyes that suggests they aren’t just going through the motions for a paycheck - they’re still chasing that weird thrill of trying to make each other laugh mid-bite of something horrifying.

The pacing is spot-on, too. Ten minutes is the perfect constraint. It never overstays its welcome, delivering a punchline right as you’re settling in, leaving you eager for the next day’s upload. The editing is snappy, the sound design is punchy, and the inclusion of their crew members in the background adds a layer of authenticity that bigger productions typically lack.

If there’s a knock on this season, it’s that familiarity can sometimes breed a touch of predictability. If you’ve seen 30 seasons, you know the rhythm. You know when the twist is coming, and you know when Rhett is going to "accidentally" pick the grossest option available. But honestly, criticizing GMM for being formulaic is like criticizing a hamburger for being round. It’s the consistency that we love. We don’t want experimental avant-garde theater; we want shaving cream sandwiches and dart-throwing challenges.

Pros

• The Rhett & Link chemistry is still unmatched in internet comedy.
• Bite-sized runtime perfect for daily consumption.
• High production value without losing the low-budget charm.
• Rewards long-term fans with clever inside callbacks.
• Genuinely laugh-out-loud moments in every single episode.

Cons

• The format is undeniably familiar; don’t expect radical reinvention here.
• Some gags rely heavily on pre-existing lore, which might confuse absolute newcomers.
• At 10 minutes, it leaves you wanting more (which is a good problem to have).

Good Mythical Morning Season 31 is like catching up with your oldest friends. It’s familiar, it’s comfortable, and it makes you laugh until your stomach hurts. In a chaotic world, having Rhett and Link show up every morning to do something pointless and silly is a beautiful, anchoring constant. The TMDb score of 6.9 feels a tad harsh for what is essentially internet comfort food at its finest - this season deserves a solid 8/10 in our hearts. So, whether you’re a seasoned Mythical Beast or just a curious newbie, slide into Season 31. Grab a snack (preferably one that hasn’t expired in 1998) and enjoy the ride. Mythical. Morning. Season. Engaged.
