***Too Many Spirits*** is a comedy show created by Katie LeBlanc. Co-hosts Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej read spooky stories submitted by viewers while drinking cocktails prepared by Steven Lim and Ricky Wang. All four episodes of each season are filmed in one night, with Ryan and Shane getting progressively more intoxicated as the night goes on.

Humor is emphasized in Steven's preparation of Ryan and Shane's drinks, as he does not have bartending experience. Instead, he will add ingredients at random, and refuse to measure.

In season 4, *Too Many Spirits* brought on Ricky Wang, a bartender, to guide Steven in preparing drinks. Ricky became a regular addition on all episodes except sponsored specials.

Two live specials for the series have also aired via the livestreaming website Looped.

Episodes include an illustration of each cocktail by Marylan Davison.

## Episode Format

Each episode begins with a brief introduction. Then, Steven and Ricky each make the same custom cocktail for Ryan and Shane, who usually play a game of rock-paper-scissors to determine who gets Ricky's professional drink.

After reading each story, Ryan and Shane will each rate each story on a scale of one out of ten spirits. If both of them rate ten or more, then it's proclaimed as having "too many spirits!"

### Themes

Depending on the season, or the potential sponsor, each season is themed differently. Usually, two seasons are released a year; one in the summer and one in the winter, both themed accordingly. However, sponsored specials have been filmed with a camp theme, and one included an alien/sci-fi theme.

### Spirit Cam

Ryan and Shane take turns each episode attaching a GoPro camera to their glass, to give viewers a shot of them drinking their cocktails. This is referred to as the "Spirit Cam," and it is often viewed with revulsion by fans, as it is intended to give viewers an uncomfortably-close shot of each person's face.

### Log Bros

All outdoor episodes are filmed in front of a real campfire. Whenever the fire needs additional fuel, someone will exclaim "log bros!" The campfire will often "introduce" the episode's sponsor, and in season three, Shane made log puppets to support the segment.

### Live Episodes

Two *Too Many Spirits* episodes were streamed live, with tickets available for purchase. They are no longer available to watch.

The first, a Valentine's-themed episode, became semi-famous amongst the Watcher fandom for the inclusion of a story from @pegging-mothman on Tumblr, whose username caused Ryan to go into hysterics. It was streamed on February 11, 2021, and the specialty cocktail made was called "Love is in the Scare."

The second, a spring-break-themed episode, was streamed on May 6, 2021, and the specialty cocktail made was called the "Boo-garita."
