    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.

        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.

                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.

          My kids are both around 10yo and also like Mr Beast, even though we don’t let them watch YT very much.

        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?

      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
