people like mr beast and elon musk expose the fact that people can recognise dystopian evil in movies and videogames, but are completely oblivious/actively supportive when they encounter it in real life
Oh my god this is tea. I don't understand why they miss the point, oh wait it's because they benefit from a system where if you step on enough people and have no soul you can make lots of money.
@AdamOwenBrowning nah he's a perfect example too, these mfs grew up with back to the future 2 and now worship the villain from that movie like a pharaoh lmao
I think it's timeline--dystopia and villains in movies have an arc and a series of highlighted events in a course of an hour or so in movies and ~10 hours in a show. Whereas in real life it's a slow boil over the course of several years or even decades. Like that analogy about the frog in the pot of boiling water.
"Now that I've been exposed as a greedy capitalist bastard who profits from the misery of the impoverished, it's surely a good idea to hold a game emulating a show about greedy capitalist bastards exploiting desperate impoverished people for entertainment. I see nothing wrong with this." ~Jimmy
Don't forget that Jimmy Childhater also apparently will be broke if it doesn't succeed... Which means he must have spent like Rings of Power level of money on it (or more) and failed lmao
I think his self awareness level is somewhere in the negative. Or another possibility is that he still has some unconscious childlike innocent part of him who knows how messed up all this is and feels guilty. So doing squid game in real life is like screaming to the world "Something is very wrong with me, and something is very wrong with this world that this is actually happening!" Just like OP said, a game literally meant to critique capitalism and how messed up it is. And jimmy being like "Oh that actually looks like super fun!". And he is helping people. He is just so kind that he keeps giving away all his money, can't you people see how selfless he is! I mean somehow he is giving away all his money every single day and yet somehow he is still a billionaire.. hmm something doesn't really add up. Of course we know that he makes way more money than 10k by making a video about him giving someone 10k. And the sad and messed up part is that a lot of people actually are so blind and naïve to think "Gives away money in video = Must be a good person. oh and also, what is nuance?" Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, sorry for the rant. Awesome video Sumito!

My girlfriend competed on this show. There were so many good stories and character arcs they just… didn’t do anything with. So much potential just thrown out because he really wanted to have crazy numbers for everything. She won’t admit it but she suffered to be on this thing. Not fun watching it basically squandered for week after week.
Guys like Jimmy see media portraying actual death games and go "that looks like a cool set to climb on" and miss how the rest of the world is a dystopian nightmare that the writers were warning against.
You do realize how by taking away the stakes and danger you can make most of these into normal games, right? Hunger games became a giant example of this, especially on video-games. If you're shooting a youtube parody of a show, it should be obvious you won't be adding the "deep sociological aspects" in those 15-30 minutes
I feel like MrBeast fundamentally misunderstands the enjoyment of game shows, its about knowing the contestants and picking your favorite to root for and the games themselves, where as MrBeast has just thrown money about on all the factors BUT that, like all I heard about this show was how much money there was and statistics, he's obsessed with numbers "2000 CONTESTANTS!" "5 MILLION DOLLARS!" "100 POTENTIAL ELIMINATIONS!", not anything else, and also kept cringey with how the "MrBeast crew" kept on trying to get a crumb of screentime lol
They could have had cutaways to people who were in future episodes so you can get to know them and watch as they overcome the challenges, but still never knowing exactly which episode they are going to be eliminated. Knowing a memorable person is making at least to episode 5 will keep you watching to see what happens to them
Watching the show actually overstimulated my mind, never had that happened before. It has 2 second camera changes, some kind of noise happening every second or two, bright colours. It was actually brain rot.
I’m pretty sure the main problem with making the human element and the personal stories of the contestants a bigger part of the show is the simple fact that there were 2000 people to start out and there’s still hundreds of contestants after multiple episodes. I’m only partway into episode 3 and I think we’re still in the “let’s get this down to enough people that we CAN tell stories” phase. It’s MrBeast, they had to go Big there were too many people.
Much like his youtube videos, this show seems to hinge on the idea that bigger numbers and more money spending results in a more entertaining thing, rather than focusing on what makes the lower budget alternatives compelling to begin with
The thing about MrBeast’s videos is that most of them are (evidently) scripted, which sets them apart from TV shows. When real winnings are involved, TV shows must adhere to strict regulations. On a podcast, MrBeast even discussed how this shifted the entire approach for his team, probably one of the reasons why the games seemed so dull in comparison.
Gonna be mildly contrarian and suggest that Jimmy is a fundamentally decent person who ended up the captain of a runaway train because he was so good at running the little train at the zoo that shuttles families to different exhibits. He's just in over his head. He was so obsessed for so long with how to make the perfect RUclips video that he's forgotten how to think outside that box. He had that little Zoo train and it was the best little zoo train of all time and everybody loved it. How hard could it be to run a full sized tr-wait what are all these buttons for. Sheeeesh that's a lot of levers.
This is what happens when a non genius person just try to show off about their money. I could say this rock cost 1 million dollars and everyone will agree that it is dumb because that's the level of intelligence of most people have. That's the very basic comparison that I could give to make a 5 years old understand.. So basically, he's just dumb..
My 2025 prediction. Jimmy takes a break from uploading while he's still kinda in the good, then spends rest of the year trying to set up the biggest/best video he's ever done and come back at end of the year to release it
Few. And far. Between. There are few of them. And it is far between them. Why is this so difficult for people. "Far apart and few in-between" _means they're not far apart because there are some in-between_
Mr Beast eliminating 15 people after shouting “Yo” off mic sounds like the most Mr Beast shit to do, what a cheap inconsiderate bastard. It’s like he prioritized getting the shit over with rather than act considerate. Whats crazy is how it would’ve made for a funny wholesome moment if he turned it into a bit, its surprising he didnt too given how content brained he is. Just goes to show what his motivations are and brings to light how little he actually cares about genuinely helping people, it’s all for show.
It's always Squid Game this and Hunger Games that with you people. Back in my day we just had Battle Royale and EVERYONE was scared of the girl with the uzi.
My favorite mr beast video was the guy living in the house for a few months and earning money for his family. It was calm. It felt real. it was a real but realistic challenge. Everything else seems fake to me
squirt game cringe i never liked calamari they should do a radish games i mean did you know theres at least 12 radishes for every vending machine in korea pretty advanced country if you ask me pretty socially relevant too
Beastgame is just an extended normal Beast video. Your milage will vary depending on how you like his content. On top of MrBeast isnt a charismatic host and non of the "drama" sticks cause the contetant can be gone just 10 min later
The vibes of this episode of in the field is off the charts. I wish internet historian wasn’t busy with metal detecting so he could’ve been on this video
Dude is spending more than arcane cost to animate for the title of "top 1 UNSCRIPTED show" thats even more restricting than what sumito talked about. Hey look guys my show is better than years old reruns of jeopardy and the price is right...
Me I'm still like, "5 million huh?... So not 15 Million or 50 Million?!" Nah u gotta hit me with some sky-scrapper money to get me outa bed. "But IF we talkin 69 Million. Let's go! Now we're Pod racing!" 😏😪
1:25, You can compare anything to anything else. The problem here is that it's a badly done cringe take just to try and flex how big RUclipsrs are now.
Hey sumito. I never comment but I always enjoy your videos. You keep me up to date with meme news and viral content that I would never engage with otherwise. Thank you for your service. You're entertaining and cool and so like... Just keep doing you're thing. Don't feel like you need to change your formula all that much. It's working as is.
of course one of the very few youtubers to get success in mainstream entertainment is my boy Papa Franku, creator of such musical hits as; 'Please Stop Calling Me Gay', 'Uber Pussy' and my favourite, 'Hentai'.
Bigger number = better video! Who cares about individual skill. big number go down = higher stakes. Let's just have them all play i big round of roulette. Only that one guys luck eliminates every one else
i watched the first episode of the beast games and it was pretty good imo. not enough to check whether ep2 was out though. and I did not even know there was an episode0 on youtube.
Seems like a combination of getting ideas from the target audience (aka not-smart people who don't know why things entertain them) and an utter aversion to the possibility of harm. Lowest stakes ever
Mr beast is a total loser but man the amount of people in the comments acting like applying to be part of a game show is indentured servitude or violating the Geneva convention is wild

I am more into Amazing Race type shit than whatever Child Rental House gameshow did in Mr. Breast game.

It was actually brain rot.
So it's basically the prisoner's dilemma over and over in 4K
Mr beast is the most uncreative person on the planet who comes up with fucking triva for his multi million dollar game show.
I mean... yeah all of his other videos were simply "This is good thing people say, we do thing but big" none of the things he did were creative
"Are YOU a tough enough dude to climb the Mr. Beast Panopticon??"

Last time I was this early, at least 1 person still respected Jimmy.
ngl the girl trying to screw over 200 people to win 50K and then not even getting any money due to a technicality is hilarious
She didn't get money because she didn't do the thing, but her team was eliminated because she did the thing lol

shouldnt that be considered before yk... doing all this?
Mr. Beast videos are like nft's same thing made a bunch of times with a different coat of paint on them. if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Couldn't they just rip of Takeshi's castle? Why make it so boring?
They could with that amount of money.
Or Wipeout
Mr. Beast looks like he shits his pants, but keeps them on all day.
He has that poop disease that makes you shit a lot, so yeah probably wears diapers

Few.
And far.
Between.
There are few of them. And it is far between them. Why is this so difficult for people.
"Far apart and few in-between" _means they're not far apart because there are some in-between_
That's a strange thing to rant about.
i think few in-between makes the far part exaggerated to bring more emphasis
Literally never heard anyone ever screw that up before
"far and few in between" is what he said
10:32
He should of said it right, but I could care less
Combine Squid Game with Hungry Games and everyone wins.
Hungry Squid Games?

I sincerely wish the worst for Jimmy "The Squirt Game" Beast
How is Mr Beast criminal poor in creativity? He has money to sit on his ass and plot things out
You crushed this Sumito. I really hope this vid blows up. I've never like jimmy. There has always been something weird to me about his vids and him
He gives away the money to his friends and it is predetermined. Fight me
It's always Squid Game this and Hunger Games that with you people. Back in my day we just had Battle Royale and EVERYONE was scared of the girl with the uzi.

When mr beast effectly made the exact same thing that squidgame criticized in the first place
Sumito is still making Mr Beast videos on 2025
Why would beast want to improve the game when his viewers consist of mentally 9 years old
Beast games is the arcane s2 of game shows
I wish Sumito would grab me and capture at least some of my magic as much as squid games two
I have never seen a mr. Beast video because i am a 40 year old man and have no idea what his content is

hi sumit, i'm from internet historian

Did not expect to see the old super best friends page but with jimmy's face on the thumbnails today.

When it comes to TV and RUclipsrs I've seen Michael from Vsauce in a handful of shows as a narrator.
All I'll say is that Beast Games would've been better if Mr B and his team just watched Kaiji Ultimate Survivor or Kakegurui
Hey man, don’t compare it to Takeshi’s Castle. That shit was peak 😤
