I've never watched a single video of MrBeast. The topics just don't interest me at all. I really don't see the hype.
Showing your age bro...
His audience are kids, maybe early 20s now
You have to be a kid not to see the grift
It's funny you say that, because last summer a coworker of mine became completely obsessed with Mr Beast. He's a 50y/o retired marine captain. Not the kind of person that fits into the normal beast demographic.
genx with a boomer brain... no critical thinking lol
Well, i did say marine...! 😂
whew! good sir, that's 'em fighting words
Nah, he loves me. I talk shit to him all the time...
One time, he was bitching about how he's the only one getting anything done at work. He said "I've done a million things today. I did A, and B." And i asked him if that's how he thought counting worked. "1, 2, a million? What is this, marine math?" And he fucking LOVED that. He uses "marine math" all the time now.
Nobody jokes about Marines being stupid more than marines. Well maybe the Air Force and navy. But the marines do it a lot too
Know why the term "Jarhead" is a misnomer?
You can put shit in jars.
I don’t know I coulda swore their heads were full of shit. Not much else in there unfortunately
My kids are both around 10yo and also like Mr Beast, even though we don’t let them watch YT very much.
Hahahahahaha ok I should take that onion off my belt. I guess it's not in style anymore
You gotta be damn dumb too, which is a lot of people (including kids). Some kids see it and don't fall for it, sadly it's not the majority.
I have no idea who the guy is, but why is anyone surprised that someone who goes by Mr Beast is living up to his stage name?
To my understanding he got his internet fame primarily from videos of giving people money. Never watched his stuff though.
No, he got his fame (which ENABLED him to start giving away stuff, which became his formula, but didn't bootstrap him) by performing superhuman feats of will and mental and physical endurance. Seriously. The man is not like most people on the inside. I won't speculate what's there but it's different.
Mr. Beast performing superhuman feat
Idk I kinda like it when he burns and crushes stuff. We watch other more "people focused" videos like "don't get out of chamber" stuff with my family but those have more of a TV show vibe than a youtube video
