I invited 32 of the largest creators on the platform to compete in a Cup Pong tournament for charity. This tournament was streamed to 10,000 viewers on twitch.tv/alpharad and hosted at The Vermont Hollywood This event has been in the works with Real Good Touring since SEPTEMBER. It took a long time to make, but I'm so endlessly happy with how this event turned out. From the talent, to the production, to the Bruno Mars half time show... what an unforgettable night. Thanks for watching and for helping us raise of $30,000 for charity. :)
...onto the next one!

When I won I grabbed the microphone and I said “who do you think you are, I am?!” And I was pretty proud of that.
Based sendoff Ted, based sendoff.
ted you are beyond based, congrats on the huge dub. you winning out there for us sleep deprived insomniacs
Yeah, that makes sense. *insert random shrug emoji*
King
Ted you are a Chad
For those who didn’t watch the live show. ALPHADAD beat cancer and Alpharad wanted him to enjoy what he does. Just another reason why Alphadad is a boss
I love alphadad man
Hes a legend
I love how, just after that announcement, Ted's response to Alpha was "your dad's a bitch." Hilarious here, but hopefully that doesn't lose its context in the future even though he did walk it back later
I got to watch the whole thing live with a few friends and it was probably one of the best nights we ever had
That’s awesome!
This is so much funnier when you know that Ted was exhausted and just wanted to go home the entire time
1st
Ted's came from 18 rainforest cafes, sleepless, to dunk on Alpharad's dad in pong. Truly a video.
seeing alpharad go from the funny smash bros guy to the irl chris mcclean is definitely a sight to see
"Alright, streamers, today's challenge is going to be a hard one"
oo
I didn’t even make that connection lmao
Oh god, if Alphard has already developed into early Chris Mcclean, is he eventually gonna become the deranged psychopath Chris is in the later seasons and then get sent to jail while going insane due to not being able to torture others in jail
It's a dangerous superpower.
The guy filming on his 3DS will go down as a living legend
He is trying to get that streetpass
What time
@@danielsdrawingandgamingcha2421 37:43
They let chris chan out for this?
he WONT go down! This legend still stands!
For those you that don’t live in America or that are children, this is exactly what every college party is like. Boxing ring and all.
It's actually exactly the same in german university. Only we chuck a tankard after every shot. Hit or miss.
As a German University Student who hasn't been to a single party, I can confirm.
Except you drink 2% piss water
Can confirm. Bruno Mars was at every one of my college parties.
Do they all play beer pong wrong as well? Supposed to bounce the ball once otherwise it's too easy
I like how Ludwig finally showed up for an Alpharad event, and immediately lost round 1.
Maybe that'll make him want to come back someday lol
Arin: "Can I swear?"
First round group: *middle fingers for days*
While also wearing a shirt that I'm pretty sure said "Bitch".
@@edwardnygma8533 looks like 'Heck' to me
@@maickel_j It's absolutely "Heck", I guess I looked at it the first time, thought "I'm not reading this overly designed font shit" and subconsciously saw the c and the e which I read as an i and convinced myself it was "Bitch".
One of the announcers said “motherfucker” in the first minute of the video lol
@@brandonhughes4076 classic Arin, not listening to the start of the game
Bruno is becoming a staple piece of these events.
no no we don’t talk about bruno
Imagine if the real Bruno Mars showed up for a cameo
@@datboi4560 wdym that is the real bruno mars
l
Sry, I think that statement needs revision. The “real Bruno Mars” is just a rip off of this one
Dude Alpha’s gotta find himself a Bruno Mars impersonator. Getting the man himself to do the pledge of allegiance couldn’t have been cheap!
He just said it was like 1800. Surprisingly
@@taylorcorbett8848 Woah, seriously!? Bruno Mars should charge more for his services. That’s like the amount an impersonator would charge.
Was that the real bruno
@@macwalters7548 of course! Why would Alpharad *ever* buy a Bruno Mars impersonator?
@@reddles3964 He's doing it for charity, dude.
Jaiden had a fricken meltdown when they were going to pull out the coin flip
that's a ptsd moment and a half
16:43 "I'm paid to say it did" has to be the best caster quote from this entire event
@Competitively he said caster quote
Low hanging fruits.
I always feel like Alphard is one step away from being an announcer for the Hunger Games.
Watch the "abandoned my friends on an island" video. He's already there.
Dont give him ideas
He's one step away from ORGANIZING the hunger games
Mr Beast Collab
oh it'll eventually happen
and when all the deaths are brought up he'll just say
"thought it'd be funny so i did it"
Jacob: Let's see a coin!
Jaiden: shreiks in pain
Jaco: Yeah that's not fair I agree
Timestamp?
I feel this pain.
After that charity stream...
Should have had one lmao
A cosmic blow was dealt
For anyone not there, we did a shit ton of chants the entire event with the best ones being “Fuck Schlatt”, “Women’s wrongs” and “Alphadad”
Edit: I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT ALPHADAD
Bruh women's wrongs 💀
I love how Jaiden knows how to play with Jacob's rules at this point
She doesn't fight it anymore, she just goes with it
i love their friendship lmaoo
And she still gets to bulldoze every competition
It’s like good Mario party games, work with what you have to win, even if it’s crap
Yeah their friendship is great, it seems like they have very similar humor and intuitions
Sibling moment
I can't believe they got this one out so quickly. I enjoy all Alpha's content, but these dumb events are really something else. So inspiring and so stupid at the same time, I love it so much
what a beutiful decription of the alpharad channel
@@wrc2933 true
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Well, good news! I ended up NOT reading your profile photo because it's too small to read!
I can. It wasn’t really edited that much other than cutting some footage ha.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
glad that alpharad's starting to shine more light on smaller creators like bruno mars
Watching Jules and Skooch fall over in perfect sync at 37:59 is glorious
Rehearsed lose animations
Reused animations
that's not even close to the right timestamp lmao
@@4whomittolz846 It's 37:58 now. The US anthem removed retroactively in RUclips's video editor, so the timestamp is off.
@@keystone5750 fixt now though
The power of every rainforest café propelled Ted to victory
And his old beat up Toyota Tacoma barely clinging to life
I love how the crowd cheers and boos for everybody based on what they're doing, they're just in it for the game.
And then there's the deez nuts crowd
@@Thristanity Deez cups
36:04 Ted goes out for a handshake and Ethan responds with a hug, Ted doesn't leave his bro hangin
I respect that
Ted was like an Anime Villian Jesus Christ the man pulled out the flawless aim without even a hint of sweat, truly a man fit for a Rainforest Cafe🙌
I'm dying from the massive amount of cuts to make everyone look competent. Seriously though, this was huge though and for a great cause. Go Alphadad
I was fooled for maybe the first 10 minutes, but eventually I realized "Wow, they sure are cutting a lot, huh?"
Yeah it was a pretty lomg fricking event. I couldn't watch the stream for that long, then I looked at the finals and was impressed by how much hype there still was
This was way funnier live for different reasons
@@dragonstar9125
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!
and other alcoholic bewerages
German speaking countries call it Beer Pong
@@mangosteak it's called beer pong in america too, alpha just didn't want to be demonetized.
"The people love you dad" "and I love the people" Like father like son, what a beautiful moment
39:20 How Skooch and Jules are so synched in their reactions was the highlight for me.
I love the ability of Ted to switch from a frat boy to a grill dad with the simple turn of the hat
Unironically, Jacob has such a great presence as a host. Even as a non serious host he still has that charm, charisma, humor, enthusiasm, even sarcasm that makes him being a great host. Basically what I'm trying to say is he should make a real life Total Drama series. Let's be honest, Jacob is totally able to get his circle of friends to be willing to go through actual Total Drama challenges lol
The Impossible Escape Room he did is just proof of that.
Commenting so Jacob sees this
It's more lake content creators are willing to go through actual Total Dra challenges for content
FUCK YES DUDE, i would love to see a real total drama island man that shit would be HYPE
Its funny ya mention Total Drama, he's slowly been turning into Chris Maclain as time goes on.
What a respectable, professional and non-scuffed sporting event from the internet funny guy
@Don't Read My Profile Photo don't exist
lo
yeah! and i'm glad that there was no bribing or anything going on. nothing but genuine games all the way through.
definitely loved that there were no fights and no drama between players too
I know how alpharad got his personality, from his dad
If James had seen the 10 minute power hour of cup pong, he would've known that Arin was definitely not the best choice for a partner in this event
Nah man gotta go with your bro even if he's the worst
Also I didn't know they got to choose, some of these people I wouldn't have even guessed were friends lol
Fair enough
I thoroughly enjoy ted and ethan standing in the back of the last semifinals round looking like goddamn mob enforcers😂
39:10 the utter horror from jaiden when the possibility of a coin flip was brought up is just too good
you can see her soul leave her body, it’s hilarious
Love how he, a gambling man, decided against it as he knew in reality it wasn't a gamble as jaiden would lose
One of my favorite scenes
Still can't believe she once like what, 10 or 20 flips in a row. Outrageous luck
Its so amusing seeing her relationship with Lady Luck. Alpharad's patron does not like her at all.
I love how in the replay LLdrifts knocked over her own cup, followed by Jaiden knocking over the opponents without a ball. In all sensibilities Arin and Odds1Out won, but the crowd said no. Absolutely beautiful.
Every alpharad event is rigged and that's what makes it beautiful
i love how jaiden had a PTSD everytime they mention "coin flip"
@Game World true
jaiden only got so far because she has the most subscribers out of anyone there, simple as that, her subscribers carried her.
@@nothanksidiot You do know james has significantly more subs that jaiden right?
The "We're on a tight schedule. I'm gonna need you guys to leave the stage." Had me laughing so hard
Alphadad hitting a bounce shot into a bomb (3 cups) and then them only taking away one cup is the rob of the decade
I'm confused on this
@@Ikxi just a remark on them not using typical beer pong rules
Whats a bomb
Best $35 I ever spent. This event was hilarious and being a part of that crowd was so fun! Thanks to Jacob, the competitors, and everyone behind the scenes who helped make this so entertaining.
Dude you spent 35$ for this? I’m watching this shit for free lmao get rolled nerd 🤓😎
Why does this comment say it has one reply lol
Also $35 is pretty good for a live event like that tbh, that's cool haha
Why does this comment say it has two replies lol
Also $35 is pretty good for a live event like that tbh, that's cool haha
I LOVE CUP PONG!!!!!
TRUE!!!
So true
evidence?
But could u be the victor
39:20 When LLDrifts scored I just love how Jules and Scooch both fell to the ground in sync like they just got hit by arrows through the chest
The synchronized agony in 39:20 that brought them to their knees was absolute gold
It's so amazing seeing how far Alpha as came
From funny "forward arial" man to "what bullshit can I put my dearest friends and Bruno Mars through this time?"
"... and Pointcrow"
Why did you separate Bruno Mars and his dearest friends? Clearly they are the same
@@CenturyBlade ur not wrong, mate. Ur not wrong
"I'm paid to say that it did! " Is still the best line of this show
This feels weirdly scripted while also being unscripted and I love it
I'm sure some of the things were scripted like the "fights" but other than that I don't think so. But hey, it was all for charity! :)
Loved the anguish jaiden gave when they suggested bringing out the coin
Bruno is honestly my fav bit of this event
Alphadad though
@@davidweisleder5920 true
I love what alpha has become. He took a gaming career and became the crazy host he always loved to watch.
What a king
He or we
@@highdefinition450 both
39:20 That moment of despair was so in sync that it's satisfying lmao
1:30 the way ted looks at ludwig and connor after not shaking ethans hand just radiates sigma energy
Jacob’s dad having a beer hat makes everything so much better
Ted’s pop off was incredible. He was so nonchalant all night and then, he hits the tournament winner and goes nuts. “Who do you think you are, I am?!”
I love Ted
HELLO EVERYBODY MY NAME IS MARKIPLIER
The shit that alpha does for charity is so cool. I remember when the channel was strictly video games, I LIVE for the live content.
I liked the video games lol
Also live for the live content, nice
Ted with the “Who you think you are, I am” had me more hyped than anything else
With Ted Nevision being involved in events like this, we’re so close to Charlie Slimecicle being in a video with Alpharad and that is a video I cannot wait for
Ted, Schlatt and Charlie can't exist in the same screen as Alpha without causing a singularity event
My dream crossover is Charlie Slimecicle Jacob Alpharad and Doug DougDoug
The chuckle sandwich squad in an Alpharad video? I'd literally cry tears of joy
If Slimecicle showed up he would find a way to cause a nuclear meltdown within the first 5 minutes of arrival.
I was hoping schlatt would be a surprise challenger and his teammate would be a 7 foot oiled up Greek god of a man and he wouldn’t say anything the entire time he was there, he would just stare at the dudes abs the whole time
Aw they cut out the joke where they tell both James and Arins team and Jaiden and lldrifts’s team that they’re the crowd favorite separately. That was one of my favorite jokes
Imagining Arin and Bruno Mars in the same building and room is magnificent. If only Dan could was there to experience that
Bruno Mars is my new favourite Alpharad cameo character. He's the pandaman of this channel
Nice
Im trying to remember where he originated.
@@goldenfox8701 Maybe copypasta theatre?
@@goldenfox8701 it was copypasta theatre, he was a impressionist they hired as a joke and is now on iirc 3 videos now lol
I know he's in Copypasta Theater and this, where else is Bruno Mars?
Ok, EE joking about himself with the $50,000 is actually pretty funny
Joked about that in the mario kart vid as well
My man Jules played Rock-Paper-Scissors with a broken arm... and won.
What a chad.
I imagine being alpharad’s friend feels a lot like being on a game show that just doesn’t end with events like this and the “Mario kart” event
Alpha yelling "SHOW ME YOUR CAT" is priceless in this context
can we talk about how "bruno" is actually a pretty decent/good singer? like alright, i see you. also love how you guys keep givin this guy business and clout lol
Why is Bruno in quotes? That's Bruno Mars, man.
I think you’ve spelled “horrible” wrong
Not Bruno
@@shadowkatto what do you mean? That’s the real Bruno Mars
Man was off-pitch more times than Wes from PoM doing a cover of "About a Girl".
24:42 Probably the best moment all stream.
Even if he apologized later.
Alpharad is becoming a legitimate large event organizer and it's amazing to see his channel evolve from "haha funi gaming laced with irony" to organizing big events for niche activities like cup pong
Although Ted and Ethan may have deservedly won, Jaiden won all our awe with that blind shot
And yet, Alphadad won our hearts.
After 2 or 3 years of seeing Alpharad's content. Seeing Alpharad as a showman and entertainer here is like a dream and accomplishment to me. 😔🤝
37:58 THEY LITERALLY FELL IN SYNC OMG
How tf does Alpha not have at least 10 mil subs. The content this legend puts out is incredible
Bruno has showed up to so many of these events where it is at the point in which it would be strange not to see him appear in one
I'm really excited for Jacob to eventually snap and flat-out make his own IRL Squid Game, except it features Bruno Mars, making it better than Mr. Beast's
Also, something cool I realized, Bruno Mars sang Leave the Door Open at this tournament, and that's the song he recited at Copypasta Theater, his first appearance
This was a pretty fun event! I was hoping for AlphaDad to win the whole thing just because it would've been funny, but oh well, this was still entertaining!
9:22 29:14 yo HUGE shoutouts to the uses of Dating Start! here by the way
Krys-topher Moon, have you played Dweller’s Empty Path?
its the guy from Undertale XD
Or her makes his own super smash bros irl.
it’ll also be better than Mr. Beast’s because Jacob Alpharad will actually kill the losers.
ted and ethan really were the villains of this tournament lmao
I love how even though you know looking at the title there's no way that Bruno Mars is actually there, because it's Alpharad, you just have to wonder to yourself for a second if he actually fucking got Bruno Mars for a cup pong tournament
I genuinely would not put it past this man to do that
So glad that Alpharad can consistently get the real Bruno Mars for his events!!!
Can't wait to see him in Alpharad's 50,000 Rock/Paper/Scissors tournament!!!
I like how Jules and Skooch were such a good team that they both collapsed at the same time
Knowing skooch there's a chance one of them had the idea and they rehersed it in the event they lost
‘Enjoy it while you can while it’s not behind a paywall’ had me SCREAMING
I love how campy the fights seem to be - not really scripted and smooth. Clearly the players doing it spontaneously to be entertaining while having just enough reaction time to go along with the gag fight and make it keep going for that extra minute. It doesn't look like anyone would have gotten hurt or actually angry with another player.
The real winner here was the guy recording with his 3DS.
Whats the time stamp of the 3ds
These events just solidify Alpharad as one of the greatest youtubers of all time. Such a legend.
Very true
Ethan and Ted is a duo i didn't know i needed
I love Ted’s lackadaisical energy and just absolutely sending it
This was such a good tournament arc. The suspense, the development of the characters, and the interactions. Also the twist where the villain wins was such a good ending.
the reaction of Jaiden when alpharad mentioned a coinflip, gotta love it. Some alpharad lore right there
This was literally the only livestream from any RUclipsr I was able to watch live for the entire thing. I'm so glad I got to see it live. Amazing event.
so glad they got to record Jawsh's second interaction ever with not one, but TWO WOMEN this time, so proud of him
I do think Jules’ biggest weakness in this game is his cockiness. I feel like that’s what keeps him being a relatively average competitive cup pong player, every time he does alright he acts like he’s invincible. He’s like the real life Alpharad: mid tier with an Icarus complex
But Jules was in a cast for this event?
"Mid tier with an Icarus complex" is such a wonderful description of him, bravo! 😂
@@UserOfTheZune it’s an inside joke from Alphas Elite Smash series on deluxe. Someone in the comments called him that and it’s just stuck around 😂
@@chocoloco1211 ah, nice, goes with the lore of the channel!
Props to the true madlad Ted for completing the 100% glitchless optimized cup pong tournament speed run with no preparation, no sleep, pulled up, called Alpharad's dad a bitch to his face, and swept the whole thing. Legend.
Can we just admire the POWER COUPLE that is Ethan and Ted?
Can we just talk about how Jules had the most badass responses to almost everything asked
No one would've been able to expect Alpharad would've made an event this amazing 2-3 years ago.
Never change Jacob. Never change.
Jacob changing is exactly why we got events like this tho
I love these events simply because it is so funny to watch grown ass drunk people doing random shit
Between this, Ludwig’s Beerio Kart tournament, and QT’s Beyblade tournament, we’ve been blessed with a lot of great irl content lately
i love how no matter how much planning alpharad puts into his events there's usually somebody he asked to join either the night before or hours ago
With Arin competing, I can't believe nobody has brought up the "does Bruno Mars is gay?" meme from Game Grumps.
Jacob is becoming an irl super villain and he’s loving it.
I’m genuinely scared for what he will become
You have to admit that Alpharad be looking SLICK.
Alpharad is a freaking legend.
This guy not only created an entire Cup Pong tournament and recruited several content creators to it (with a few more that unfortunately couldn't make it for certain reasons, such as Or3o), but he got his dad in it as well.
I'm not sure how he'll top this, but knowing Alpharad, he definitely will.
"Who is ready for CUP PONG?"
Me, an Aussie: "Still feels weird not calling it Beer Pong, but sure thing."
It's still beer pong everywhere besides church camps in the US
It’s called beer pong in the US usually. It’s called cup pong because it’s a charity event (no mention of alcohol)
@@legojedimasterplokoon2173 even there I am pretty sure they still call it beer pong lol. Just maybe with water or something because church camp.
@@b00psn00t Huh, I hadn't considered that context. Good point!
The turnaround on this event getting edited and posted is nutty! 11 days and a near 4 hour show??? This event ruled, super glad I got to go!!
This tournament was so hype to watch live. Alphadad carrying his round was hilarious.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Don't ask
lo
Hell yeah it was
shoulda broke both arms CJ
You know in France our streamers often do big events together and it's pretty impressive, but nothing comes close from the iconic chaos that is your identity as a creator and I live for this. I can't wait to see what crazy ideas you will pull off in the future.
This makes me imagine Alpharad just doin events and tournaments around the world.
@@kittybaby6242 idk if it would be as fun if he doesn't know the creators lol
The image of Jules standing in a ring with one arm in a cast, sunglasses on and the San Andreas music playing in the background both inspires and terrifies me.
