Screen Rant

The channel previously hosted a video series called Pitch Meeting by Ryan George, who produced over 200 videos by September 2020, which had garnered 250 million views.[11]

George's skits involve two protagonists, both played by himself, revolving about several key call and response phrases between the characters, in particular with the pitchman responding to any posed doubts with the overzealous catchphrase:[12]

"Super easy, barely an inconvenience."

— Ryan George[12]

According to George, the series was inspired by a standup comedy bit performed by John Mulaney, in which he examines peculiar or baffling plot points in the 1985 movie Back to the Future, such as the unexplained origin of the friendship between the protagonist Marty McFly with Doc Brown, a disgraced nuclear scientist. George imagained how strange it might have been if these plot points were broached during the process of selling the film to its production studio. More broadly, George observed, all films had inexplicable elements that would make a pitch meeting-style satirical videos fun. As he was already working for Screen Rant at the time, and had already begun making "talking-to-myself" style videos on his own YouTube channel, he began the "Pitch Meeting" series in November 2017 with a thirty-second "Pitch Meetings" video for the Justice League feature film that had been released earlier that year. Each video takes George two to the three days to produce. George had uttered the "barely an inconvenience" comment in his first video, and after noticing viewer comments on it, began to incorporate it as a recurring element. By September 2020 George had produced videos over 200 episodes, which had garnered over 300 million views.[12]
