"What are you seeking?" "In life or this plate?" That was basically his way of saying bro just let it go

I think Tyler just don’t want to hurt his feelings. He called him family and a brother that should’ve gave him his answer.

Tyler skipped friend zone and went straight to Family-zone him lol

Tyler look crazy uncomfortable after that awkward laugh 😭😭

This could’ve been a private conversation

Never tell a good friend you're catching feelings for how you feel. Got it. Keep the friendship as is. Lesson learned. Thanks, Jerrod.

I could see that Jerrod was lusting after Tyler when he interviewed him a few years ago. It was all in his eyes 😂 everyone knows Tyler’s preference is not melanin rich brothers. He wants Zac and Cody 😂

"What are you seeking?" 😮 "In life or on this plate?" 😂

Them eating is the most random ish ever 😂

you can’t force tyler to like you baby 😅😅😅

“I’m big straight” is hilarious 😂😂😂

Mans really hit him with the “I look at you as a brother” 😊😊

“I wasn’t implying I wanted it, I didn’t want any of that” double entendre response lol

This conversation has such a Larry David type of awkward quality to it lol

I'm big Straight 😂😂😂

The zoom in on the face is crazy 😂

This was BIG AWKWARD 😬

One rejection wasn’t enough you had to show us 😭

Tyler is basically saying “bro I am not trying to be in anything romantic with you, you’re my friend & I’m afraid this friendship might change because of how hurt you are by this.”

"I don't want any of that... I'm BIG straight on that" TYLERRRRRR 💀💀💀

“I don’t know what’s harder. Letting go or just being okay with it.”

Tyler fr gave him that “not really I’m really into this pizza doe” treatment this like the 2.0 version of that

"You can feel yourself not answering" Bro THE ANSWER IS CLEAR. IT'S A NO. Like why does this have to be spelled out for you. Even when he verbalized that he was "like a brother", the dude seemed so dismayed like he was searching for something else. Dude, just deal with those feelings in therapy.

I felt like bro coulda done a better job of communicating. Remember folks, no answer is an answer.

Jerrod: What are you seeking? Tyler: In life or on this plate? I'm deceased 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Falling in love with Tyler is a dangerous game 😂😂

Big straight was so uncalled for 😭😂 ohh narr

Younger people are so afraid of being rejected that people think this clip is the worst thing in life. And that’s sad & kind of pathetic. Bc there’s things way worse than this. So much worse.

Seeing Jerrod just curl up in a ball after Tyler's response is the most relatable thing on television right now.

i feel like this HAS to be scripted this is awkwardness is too perfect

I understand letting someone know how you feel about them but I feel like trying to force an answer out of them especially on television is just naive. It's like he just wants him to say yes regardless of how Tyler actually feels

I agree with Tyler. Sometimes in situations like this you don’t know how to respond because you don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings when you don’t know what they want you to say

Jerrod just wanted Tyler to be direct but clearly he doesn't have the ability to say, "I'm flattered but that's a no for me." That whole interaction was so drawn out and a complete waste of their time.

There is so much going on in this clip I don’t even know where to begin. At first it definitely seems like he Tyler was brushing off the situation and trying to make a light of it, hoping that Jerrod would do the same and act like it’s not a big deal so that they can move on in their friendship, and when Tyler realize that he was not gonna get that out of him, the emotion changed very quickly. it was almost passive, aggressive and watching the two of them eat it was like Tyler was taking out his anger on the food. Did you see how fast he was eating that comparing him and Jerrod even the way that they were sitting in their body language, quite fascinating. Some might say that Tyler has every right to be the way he is in this moment because he’s terribly uncomfortable. He just wants a friend out of Jerrord and Tyler should not feel pushed to compromise his feelings. I feel terrible for Jerrod in the moment. This is just my opinion I’m not a professional in terms of reading, body language or understanding personalities.

Best part: "oh that's right, you ordered food"

Tyler was being honest and transparent, he just did not give the response Jerrod wanted. But you have to let people be their authentic self you can’t force them to behave any differently.

Omg 😭 I’ve been Tyler so many times..back when I was afraid of being direct and hurting someone’s feelings..especially if I saw them as FAMILY. That can definitely be tricky, especially if you don’t feel the same AT ALL

“I’m big straight, I’m Big straight on that” *Expired* 😂

For those of you saying he didn’t respond. Maybe we didn’t listen to the same thing or I need to re listen . Cause he said he was like a brother …

I'm happy for Tyler. Never feel that you have to tell someone how you feel based on what they say. Not every statement requires a response

I only watched 55 seconds of this and I was intrigued, I’m a straight man.. but this was very real and raw. I respect this Jerrod for even sharing this

This feels exactly like what i went through back in 2008. I was 20 he was 21 I was maaaad heart broken . He was str8 . Life goes on . ❤

this is so painful😭

Tyler's skin is silky smooth & glowing.

Editor(s) did a really good job at exaggerating emotions. A lot of the times you see reactions of them that weren't actually their reactions on that perticular statement but are used from other parts of the video because they help push a dynamic flow in the story. The audio and footage are well manipulated to simplify this interaction. Nice work.

Tyler turned bro into a villain.

I love reading the subtle energies and nuances in their verbal and physical communication… I think they want us to read in between what is presented to us on the surface… this is the literal definition of a think piece

That was CREEEPYYYY!! Jarrod needs to chill. How to get BLOCKED 101 😂😂

At first I felt bad for Jerrod but after watching episode 2, Tyler dodged a big bullet. I’m glad he was BIG STRAIGHT off Jerrod. He has addiction & trauma to resolve.

I’m still not over this scene

There’s so much emotion in this clip I love it😭

"Something super mad regular" 😂😂😂

It’s crazy cuz Tyler is funnier than the actual comedian (in general and in this vid lol). The look Jerrod gave when Tyler said “I’m Big Straight” had me dead!!

Falling in love with Tyler feels like playing yourself

I feel like he did the best he could. He let him know he wasn’t into him but that he still loved him like family. He was kinda pushing to get the answer HE wanted. That’s not fair to people.

I went to Jerrod’s comedy tour two years ago. They locked up our phones so he could be more candid. He told the story of him confessing his feelings for a friend, only to have the friend reject him and ignore him. The whole time I thought he was talking about someone he knew back in N. Carolina. I was not expecting it to be Tyler, The Creator. And now that I’m watching them, I do not see what Jerrod sees in him. Unless it was for the cameras, Tyler is clearly uncomfortable and emotionally unavailable. Jerrod, honey, you deserve better in both your friendships and intimate partners.

This may be the best interview of 2024. It’s that entertaining

3:38 NOT HIM EMPHASIZING BIG STRAIGHTT BYEEE

I understand everyone’s criticism for Jerrod, but Tyler knew what he was getting into with agreeing to talk about their relationship on camera. Jerrod also knew what he was getting into by having this convo on camera.

I’m not surprised that Tyler didn’t reciprocate.

Talking is good. “I appreciate you telling me but I like you as a brother” Tyler is breaking hearts aw😊

" I"m big straight" that one line was the biggest knock out punch I have ever witness 🤕

Tyler laughing is so him. I’d be even more in a crush with him.

official clip is CRAZY

Jaden is punching the air right now

Okay lots to unpack here. First off, this revelation by Jerrod is incredibly brave. Kudos to Tyler for giving him the gift of showing up. Tyler clearly gave Jerrod the impression that there could be more than just friendship and that's why Jerrod went for it. When you watch the whole show, you can see their interaction is quite intimate. It is also visible in the interview that Jerrod did with Tyler on Tyler's channel a few years back (please watch). Tyler chose Jerrod of all the people and friends in his life to interview him for that very intimate conversation. Plus they know each other on a deep level that Jerrod took it all to mean that Tyler might also have romantic feelings for him. So he went for it because he believed there was a real chance. Even if Tyler had those feeling for Jerrod, it is unlikely that they are as powerful as the ones that Jerrod has/had for Tyler. Either way, the relationship probably wouldn't have worked between them as connection is not the only factor that makes for a successful romantic relationship. Mutual attraction is also important. Moreover Tyler is the opposite of Jerrod when it comes to publicly expressing his emotions on camera. He is not an exhibitionist like Jerrod. Tyler wants a deeply private romantic life. Jerrod wants public validation, admiration, and affection. So for those saying that it should have remained private that is true for you and most of us. But for Jerrod, his show is all about expressing publicly the dysfunctions in his mental processing of his innermost feelings and life. His goal was to be vulnerable and overcome shame. I hope he acheived both. He said on the Breakfast Club that he's now happily in a romantic relationship with Michael for the past two years for the first time in his life so that must be a good outcome for him. The show has been great for him especially for the kind of audience he has. According to him, this is the only way he could achieve authenticity in communicating his deep feelings. He is an exhibitionist by nature as we can all observe which makes the show all the more compelling to watch. It's a reality show not a "docuseries". I recommend for everyone to watch the whole series (which is very uncomfortable to watch) and you can see Jerrod evolve. Lastly, everyone on the show had to sign off on being on camera for the show so this is Jerrod and Tyler performing for us even while in their natural habitat. This has never happened on TV ever. The show is raw and feels too real so kudos to the entire team. Especially for two phenomenal Artists (Jerrod and Tyler) in their respective industries. What an iconic moment for TV. Kudos to both brothers 👏🏾

High key the show is artistic and beautiful. The way it’s shot the camera angles are just poetic. Everything about it is. I love it thank you jerrod

"In life or on this plate?" is colder than any bar Tyler has given in his career.

Can’t force anyone to be with you because you’re pouring your heart out! GOOD JOB TYLER! Glad I only watched this clip I’m not going to watch his show

This is the funniest vid I've seen in a minute 😭😭😭

That mane getting that plate mid interview was unintentionally hilarious.

Jerrod: "What are u seeking?" Tyler: Ïn life or in this plate" 😂😂😂😂😂

Most unserious man ever

I feel so bad for Tyler. You can tell he didn't realize how he hurt him after he laughed. Having someone admit their feelings to you when you genuinely only see them as a friend is heartbreaking

i'm a bit disappointed in his response as well :( Jerrod- you're learning- you cannot force a response from others- to your feelings sweetheart. on a much brighter note, I cant wait to see what you're up to!?! I love you :) even though i'm "big straight" I L O V E U.

"I'm straight. .... I'm big straight " 😂😂

That’s the laugh I remember from the old odd future. Good to see he can still smile

I’m done that was great thank you 😂

A lot of times, when people hear "Honesty is the best policy," they think don't lie. Truth is honesty is also not spinning, not deflecting, not distracting, not evading. Cowering out of a response can leave things worse than an honest, mature response might.

I definitely been in Tyler’s shoes - someone you don’t see it that way but as a bro tells you out of the blue, they have feelings for you. It makes things weird but what he should have done was addressed instead of waiting all these years

that pause when they just got food was funny to me for some reason.

It's beautiful. I love it. Maskman is a good friend. He wants to protect you from harm. You made the right decision, Jerrod. Good work, guys!! Thank you very much.

"What are you seeking?" In life or on this plate? 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

there's no way this isn't scripted bruhhh

Tyler’s face when the food comes in is hilarious!! Anyway you have to commend these two for having such serious conversation especially Jerrod it takes a lot to lay it all out and then be rejected on television at that

"In life or on this plate" omg 😂😂😂 I love it lol

2:50 the food 😂❤❤

Patiently waiting for a song about this 👽

Jarrods gaze has to be a meme lol the close up im crying laughing

Him not answering. IS AN ANSWER!! 😅

That's the thing, this is also scripted. Like there's no way it's not his new reality show is gonna be a comedy.

Seems like a well shot show actually

This is incredible

I think ' I'm big straight on that' was the answer

ayyyyyy I am screaming

Yo, I can't... 😂

🤣😂 Jerrod speaks slowly and calmly which makes him seem deep. He’s a smart man and I’m sure he understands everybody doesn’t have to want you romantically. And Tyler is hilarious. I’m big straight! In life or this plate?! All of it hilarious 🤣

I’m crying 😭😭😭 “I don’t want any of that I’m straight, I’m BIG STRAIGHT” 🤣🤣🤣

When Tyler giggled as Jerrod's head was down...I live in that space. I've been oddly drawn to cringy awkward moments like this since I was a kid. 😂

Loved it. Poetic and real.
