Early TME

"Early TME" refers to the beginning of The McGuinness Experiment as a channel. Several ideas were created and unfinished, due to cyberbullying over Facebook, peer pressure and other factors. This era of the channel became obsolete when Matt came up with the Sonic format.

Synopsis
Matt McGuinness makes videos about pretty much whatever his peers wanted in a style similar to that of vlog or commentary videos. He makes several bad jokes and overall shows himself as a nervous wreck, potentially due to his Asperger's. Joining him every now and then is Reggie, a puppet who has a distinctive idiotic personality.

A handful of videos were made during this time period, which may be searchable on the WayBack machine, though it has not yet been proven.

The making of these videos were annoying and depressing, with Matt experiencing depression for the first time. He wanted to prove that another shot at YouTube might save his channel, but he later shelved this idea indefinitely. Another reboot video about Matt's opinions on society had the same fate.
