I've known about Paul for quite a while because Everyday SimpleFlips uploaded the clip right after the original stream. Mark and Foxen are absolute legends for pulling that off, by the way.
Even with simpleflips telling the story, i didnt expect him to stand up and walk off. And for the commentators to only talk about that when it happens was a historic moment.
This bit being 4 years old and simple just bringing it up out of nowhere is insane I gotta know what got the “paul in my room” thoughts going suddenly lmao
@@thecountercounter9127 Some people were speculating, many thought Simple was trolling, some people actually knew what it was and we thought THEY were trolling. The chat was in chaos
@@jokirb2739it was a blast, I had seen the clip before and knew a little of the context but my goodness was chat in absolute chaos when this was going on. Its something else live for sure.
Rewatching the first 4 minutes of the video after learning about Paul is like rewatching a whodunnit type film and knowing who the killer is, it all just clicks
Wanna know the best thing about the Paul thing? Me and everyone else who didn't watch Simple reveal this live, but saw it months ago on Everyday Simpleflips, DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS JUST A PHOTO BEFORE THE FINAL DAY, OR ABOUT THE GREEN SCREEN. I was fully convinced Mark had just sat there for the entire competition whenever Foxen was live. I feel so infuriated that Simple keeps fooling me like this, and I wouldn't have it any other way
I think that the everyday simpleflips clip NOT explaining the second reveal of the bit, that it was a greenscreened video of mark behind foxen the whole time makes the joke even better.
Some of the comments on the Everyday SimpleFlips video did give the whole story, but there's a difference between having something narrated to you and actually seeing it.
I remember seeing the "then foxen pulls the green screen down revealing Paul was never there" and thinking "no way man that's not true." Going to the link to the full clip and being like "holy shit"
Shoutouts to Paul for not moving a single inch for a week watching his friend intently play mario maker, he never left his friends side until it was over. What a chad.
There's no way bro that Foxen livestream was like the only time ive ever watched him live and i remember me and my friend watching spent like 30 minutes trying to decide if he was real or not. We finally agreed he was a cardboard cutout or a green screen, then i iust hear my friend yell "Mark stood up!!!" I'll never forget that shit, unbelievable.
That whole Paul fiasco is proof that pranks can exist in the modern day without being performed by societal leeches and assholes. Excellent prank. That wasn't a photo.
Finally the everyday simpleflips clip about this makes its way in a video. It's insane how no one gave a single shit that Foxen rolled down a greenscreen AFTER "paul" left. They were still talking about Mark, well, "Paul". You guys are gaslighters and I mean that with the highest respect.
simple is literally the only guy that could've teased the paul reveal in such a way as he did, where everything sounded like the biggest gaslight ever yet turned out to be 100% real. normal people could've only ever done it in a way that would've absolutely paled in comparison to the greatness that the paul arc itself was. the way that these guys play off of each other man... truly enviable.
OH MY GOD. that paul bit is the funniest shit ever. when he actually got up and just walked away and you could hear the commentators just go "oh paul just got up and left" i just automatically said went "oh my god poor Ryu" out loud. and then i fucking lost it when foxen just pulled down the greenscreen
The talk about paul just gave me a really funny idea. What if you edited the background of your webcam and just scheduled a shadow to appear behind you at some random time during the stream?
7:57 imagine giggling your ass off, in a Discord call, and having to explain to your fiancee the Legend of Paul in the middle of watching this video. Absolutely golden stuff.
I promise its real and the funniest thing you have ever seem. I am stunned I was prepared to write a comment like this to further simples trickery, but I dont need to.
I feel like all of these first timers stick out almost more than the people who’ve made dozens. Simple should 100% do a first timer hack and they can do anything as long as it’s their first hack. It would show so much creativity that we don’t normally see I think. Thoughts?
@@NerfPlayeR135 there’s something about a first hack that’s so special and getting people into the community like this is perfect. Maybe some people wouldn’t wanna join a normal comp because they don’t wanna submit a hack that seems worse cuz it’s their first when compared to someone who’s been making them for years
Had to pause at 0:38 because simpleflips is usually a nipple up guy on his facecam. You've lost SO much weight dude! Looking healthy as hell. Please don't steal my wife.
Two Simpleflips videos with banger asides in a row, you love to see it. Heck, you could count two entire hacks in this video as asides. Good stuff. Happy new year, everybody.
I used to watch the GSA SMM2 Endless, and I had no idea who foxen or murkus were, I never saw the Paul reveal in that race, and now years later it all came together.
Is Beesafree dead? It kinda seems like it, all his accounts are offline and inactive, the black and white pfp, I can't really get any Information on it tho
I've always thought about being called on to read aloud in school when Simple talks about not processing what he's reading out loud. That's how it was for me
Simpleflips destroyed the Cringe forever. But.... was it worth it. My good friend ethan. who we all called "Cringey" disappeared with the disappereance of cringe. will we ever get ethan back? WAKE UP ETHAN
the paul reveal is just as bad as the one guy with the fake fridge, even going so far into gas lighting his viewers about how heavy it was to get up the stairs for it to turn out to be a cutout of a fridge
You know stopping big chungus from being animated might not stop big chungus, you'd have to take out it's creator, Jim Sterling, to truely end the chungus.
4 minutes into the video and I still don't know who Paul is, but I've watched this channel long enough to be prepared for any ligma, so I'm expecting something like "Paul of these balls in your mouth" or something. Edit: i was wrong :D.
A few months ago i watched a video about paul, but completely forgot about it so when you were talking about it even i also thought you were just saying things

@@PSIclops_ i hate to admit i dont think i ever seen it.
they also uploaded the "future of romhacks one" too, dont forget that
Yeah we realy get to see how delayed these videos really are
Waiting for the Paul thing to be revealed live was insane, non-stream watchers will have no idea
That was making me laugh so hard from just this video alone, i could not IMAGINE the suspense of paul live on stream
@@thecountercounter9127 Some people were speculating, many thought Simple was trolling, some people actually knew what it was and we thought THEY were trolling. The chat was in chaos

The best part is waving bye only to drop the green screen later.
It's a comedy burger, it has layers
i 100% expected it to be alternate personality reveal tbh

I too only had only that info from watching Everyday Simpleflips so I was SHOCKED smh
One day we'll learn patpat

My thoughts exactly.
I remember seeing the "then foxen pulls the green screen down revealing Paul was never there" and thinking "no way man that's not true." Going to the link to the full clip and being like "holy shit"
The Paul bit is S-tier
Foxen erasing the entire Paul Pocket Dimension (Paulcket Dimension if you will) by pulling down the green screen was just the cherry on top.
Shoutouts to Paul for not moving a single inch for a week watching his friend intently play mario maker, he never left his friends side until it was over. What a chad.

Paul getting up has the same energy as WayneRadioTV's cut-out fridge 😂

my goodness, paul is a legend
Dude Paul standing up and leaving is litteraly the funniest thing, i still cant belive it
I bet the story behind the Team Cornersoft hack is the same one as the burger conspiracy: One of them made an inside joke and they just rolled with it
simple is literally the only guy that could've teased the paul reveal in such a way as he did, where everything sounded like the biggest gaslight ever yet turned out to be 100% real.
normal people could've only ever done it in a way that would've absolutely paled in comparison to the greatness that the paul arc itself was.

We need a Paul arc rerun. An encore even. It can go parallel to the toad arc if Paul is just holding a Bup Sticker and/or wearing a toad hat.
Even paul can show up in a roll hack
Paul is one of the most underrated jokes of this century! Also, you should pull a stunt like that on us, but ignore everyone who asks about it lmao!
OH MY GOD. that paul bit is the funniest shit ever. when he actually got up and just walked away and you could hear the commentators just go "oh paul just got up and left" i just automatically said went "oh my god poor Ryu" out loud.
and then i fucking lost it when foxen just pulled down the greenscreen
Didn’t think I’d be learning the Paul lore today
PAUL HAS LEFT HAD ME CRY LAUGHING
The talk about paul just gave me a really funny idea. What if you edited the background of your webcam and just scheduled a shadow to appear behind you at some random time during the stream?
@quicksilverGS Hate to tell you this, but Omegle is no more...
"My job here is done"
- Markus "Paul"
The Paul arc has big "There is no fridge" energy
Very glad to see the legend of Paul reach the main channel finally
7:57 imagine giggling your ass off, in a Discord call, and having to explain to your fiancee the Legend of Paul in the middle of watching this video. Absolutely golden stuff.
The paul thing just feels like a simple gaslight and i havent even finished the vid, maybe this is a read or maybe not.
I promise its real and the funniest thing you have ever seem. I am stunned I was prepared to write a comment like this to further simples trickery, but I dont need to.
Paul is THE EXACT kind of content that i fucking live for. Simpleflips has like, a niche for fucking with his audience and just nails it.
The Paul bit has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I can imagine Simple losing his shit laughing while watching it.
Simple saying “you don’t ledgegrab there?” at 20:38 implies that the viewer is Mario, and thus new lore was revealed
Dude if foxen lowered the greenscreen and Mark was sitting there I would have died.
"At best that's Paul."
And at worst, there's another contender for the throne of Gonzalo.
I can't believe (but also do fully believe) that Foxen did that lmao, that's a huge power move
I knew staying up till 02:25 A.M. for me was worth it!
Are you in England Like me
I'm sitting here at 3:44 A.M
@jackwalker7304 Pipe down
Relatable
18:30 New Subscriber Dawnfinder, I saw that and immediately braced for the jumpscare that never came
Paul is a ten out of ten bit
It's weird seeing the Paul clip again after knowing and watching Ryu and Thabs content now lmao
It's like a whole new clip, so legendary
I feel like all of these first timers stick out almost more than the people who’ve made dozens. Simple should 100% do a first timer hack and they can do anything as long as it’s their first hack. It would show so much creativity that we don’t normally see I think. Thoughts?
100% agree. That sounds like a great idea for a ROM hack competition.

The Metal Mario music being replaced with the words “big chungus” is almost as underrated as Paul.
FUCK MAN PAUL GOT ME CRYING WITH LAUGHTER
It really does feel like the troll hack competition has been going for like 2 years
its incredible just how much gaslighting incorporates simples humor
That jacket he's wearing in the beginning is super dapper.
all these competition videos are such a good vibe
So glad main channel only viewers can experience Paul.
Your merch is one of the few that is so cool, that I order without hesitation.
Ordered multiple pins and they are always so great !
Had to pause at 0:38 because simpleflips is usually a nipple up guy on his facecam. You've lost SO much weight dude! Looking healthy as hell. Please don't steal my wife.
i cant believe i never knew about Paul before this
8:12 The name of his second account led me to believe it was Thab East, not Tha Beast
Paul saved my family from a house fire back in 08. Great hero he is!
Two Simpleflips videos with banger asides in a row, you love to see it. Heck, you could count two entire hacks in this video as asides. Good stuff. Happy new year, everybody.
i had to inform all of my friends about paul right after the clip got uploaded a few months ago, what an amazing bit. inspirational
I used to watch the GSA SMM2 Endless, and I had no idea who foxen or murkus were, I never saw the Paul reveal in that race, and now years later it all came together.
Is Beesafree dead? It kinda seems like it, all his accounts are offline and inactive, the black and white pfp, I can't really get any Information on it tho
this is a weirdly chaotic video. learning about the paul saga, "the future of romhacks" and the cornersoft trollhack caused me to freqakin dissociate
I came up with the idea for the "Marks Level" Level a few weeks ago watching the highlights so it was insane to see someone else already made it lmfao
im so happy to have been there live for simple's narration of paul
That Paul bit is the absolute funniest thing I've seen on a Live stream
I already knew about the Paul bit, but damn it's the funniest shit.
I've always thought about being called on to read aloud in school when Simple talks about not processing what he's reading out loud. That's how it was for me
I'm trying not to wake up the household after watching that Paul bit. Legitimately the funniest thing I've seen in years
I literally just finished watching the older cringe video when this got uploaded. What perfect timing.
This video is one of the reasons it's important to watch the whole thing.
Simpleflips destroyed the Cringe forever. But.... was it worth it. My good friend ethan. who we all called "Cringey" disappeared with the disappereance of cringe. will we ever get ethan back?
WAKE UP ETHAN
But Mario! Cringe is simply a state of mind, a social construct created to ridicule the genuine and vulnerable!
I respect and beloved the hell out of Foxen's hustle.
YOOOOOOOOOO I KNEW PAUL BEFORE HE WAS INTRODUCED IN THIS VIDEO! i never thought paul would be brought back, we did it.
Can some good soul explain the Paul thing to me? (I didn't understand anything idk)
the paul reveal is just as bad as the one guy with the fake fridge, even going so far into gas lighting his viewers about how heavy it was to get up the stairs for it to turn out to be a cutout of a fridge
I am so glad I know about Paul now that's one of the best things I've ever heard of and it made me so happy to hear about it
Paul. What a super villan. I have never seen something so beautiful and so evil like this before.
Thank you mario. We have been saved.
I remember when watching the Paul thing zenislev_ said something like "MY MIND" and it was really funny.
You know stopping big chungus from being animated might not stop big chungus, you'd have to take out it's creator, Jim Sterling, to truely end the chungus.
he really saved the world from cringe
I love how the paul bit is the only thing anyone is talking about. It's a Paul bit revival dude
Ooooo the url has "CAkE" in it
That big Chungus metal cap remix went hard btw it's "Metal Wario (OST Version) - Super Mario 64 DS" by Siivagunner
Appreciated the Paul detour
Goddamn I remember that smm2 tournament, one of my favs speedrunning events of all time, I miss those times
I'm so glad the Paul lore could be established for those who weren't there to see it
4 minutes into the video and I still don't know who Paul is, but I've watched this channel long enough to be prepared for any ligma, so I'm expecting something like "Paul of these balls in your mouth" or something.
Edit: i was wrong :D.
I love Simpleflips and I live for romhack videos.
7:08 YO WAS THAT PAUL?!
i remember seeing the paul clip but wow how far back even was it now that we're seeing it in a video
13:07 yoooo the gang in the presentation room
i already knew about paul, so glad we were able to see his shining face again.
"No you didn't! No, you wouldn't... you did!?" Should be the new title of this video😂
My name is Paul so this video was a crazy Ethan moment for me
A few months ago i watched a video about paul, but completely forgot about it so when you were talking about it even i also thought you were just saying things
Now I want Simple to play the Paper Mario hack Book of Mario 64 so he can experiende Paul first handedly
"KAAAAAAAAA! Paul is the favorite of all!"
Funny Mr. Thab Beast is beating every N64 game
Had thabs stream open when I watched this and suddenly he's here too
main channel Paul, this is the timeline where we are chosen
Dude, knowing Simple I thought about Eminem when I heard Paul.
I was not prepared for the truth to be infinitely funnier.
I think simple mentioned the paul thing a while ago already. Because i remember looking up Foxen vs Rhyucar to find that exact clip.
I loved learning about paul
As a man named Paul, I too sit motionless behind streamers for days on end.
FINALLY PAUL RETURNS!!!
