8 Surprising Underwear Facts - Summary

Summary

In this episode of Good Mythical Morning, hosts Rhett and Link engage in a trivia game called "What Do You Knows About The Clothes That We Wear Under Our Clothes?" or "Underwears." The game tests Link's knowledge about underwear, with eight fill-in-the-blank questions.

The questions cover various topics, including a fraternity student who had to have a testicle surgically removed after an atomic wedgie, two eight-year-old boys who invented "Rip Away 1000" wedgie-proof underwear, and women in the Victorian Era wearing crotchless knickers.

Link answers some questions correctly, such as Ingrid Goldbloom's recycled underwear made from aluminum cans, but also makes humorous incorrect guesses, like the first sports bra being made from knee pads.

In the end, Link wins the game and gets to keep the prize, a pair of underwear with holes in them.
