The first thing i think about when I see this is npt Squid game but The ones who walk away from Omelas
This.
Because he’s just a boy in a basement. Don’t judge, you’d keep a boy in a basement if you could, too.
If you criticize him for having a boy in a basement that just means you’re jealous of his success
We know that Trump & Epstein would. No, they don’t care about the gender of a child.
I upgraded to an Attic Lad -ages- ago. Those squirrels never knew what hit them.
Wait, you guys don’t already have a basement boy? What do you use to get rid of the scary spiders and cobwebs down there?
I keep spiders in the basement to keep all the boys away.
That’s like the Bizarro World version of milkshakes in the yard.
My spiders scare all the boys from the yard
And their like, real fucken tall
They could eat you, cause they got big jaws
^Ace. Though works better s/from/to/, since “I keep spiders in the basement to keep all the boys away.”
Cats.
Did Mr. Beast just use the words cop and criminal interchangeably? Or am I misunderstanding something.
Probably means a cop and a criminal living in a shared cell.
Which I don’t think is fair, that person is in a lot of physical danger of violence. What did that criminal do to deserve such treatment?
So possibly two cops living together in a jail?
Potentially. The cop is definitely a criminal, however the other person might be a “criminal”
A solid clarification, thanks!
Glad we could have this circle jerk!

$2.5 m for a private jet seems really low
Probably a piece of shit
It’s low for a new jet, used jets lose a lot of their value over time and there are a lot of them. For 2.5m you’re probably looking at a used business class jet, like a Lear 31, or a Hawker 800. Some sort of private plane that was owned and used by a corporation.
A 2.5M jet’s gonna cost so much in maintenance, if the pilot gets it, it’s gonna ruin them :|
Uh if you can pilot that jet and own it outright, you have a whole-ass business. They’ll be fine.
yeah, at that point you just gotta sell it off. Hell, sell it off half price and you still get life changing money.
He’ll have to sell it to cover his federal income tax bill. Or more likely mortgage it if he’s planning his own business around the aircraft.
All of these are just working people being toyed with by the rich for their entertainment and profit
All of these are just working people being toyed with by the rich for their entertainment and profit
That’s literally a description of society. Not just modern society, society throughout all of history. The rich and powerful have always toyed with the peasants.
These are just variations of game shows. Do X and you can win $/Prizes while they film it and play advertisements while people watch.
A 2.5 million private jet is, uh, probably not new.
The smallest Very Light Jets, like the Cessna Mustang or HondaJet, start around $5 million new.
So you’re probably looking at a decades old plane, almost certainly not enough room to fully stand up, and possibly no lavatory.
It could be a Cirrus Vision Jet.
Edit: holy shit they’ve gone up in price to $3.2M. Damn inflation hitting private jets too. Nobody’s immune
Look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here who knows about private jets
Hey, this dude has the value of knowing private jets weak points. Let it slide.
Ah yes, good point. @minfapper Tell us more about these jets, Mr. Fancy Pants.
Idk who you tagged but I hope it works
I looked this up. It was a Hawker 400XP, worth about $2.4 million. Yes, it’s a tiny jet.

Well that was an interesting source
Pilot who won private jet from MrBeast challenge briefly detained in Paraguay over drug case
The seized drugs were high in THC and were estimated at $3.6 million, according to Paraguayan officials.
So if this pilot users his new Jet to smuggle more drugs, is Mr Beast an accomplice?
Just a middlebeast.
Dude literally watched Squid Game and said that shit would be better if it were real then set out and did it.
I watched a video about it, and what’s interesting to me is that he had an enormous budget for this Squid Game remake. He spent it on setting up hundreds of cameras, building a whole set where the game would take place, hired all kinds of camera operators… but didn’t do even basic play-testing of the games he was going to have people play.
As a result, some challenges that were supposed to last for an hour or so ended up taking more than 12 hours. Some challenges that were supposed to eliminate half the contestants instead eliminated over 90%. Some challenges didn’t work because people refused to eliminate their friends.
But for 5k a day… Yeah, I’d waste three months of my life for that kind of money
And this is brings us to our next point–we need to tax the shit out of them.
Of course you would. I probably would too. It’s life changing money. But the morality of these ‘challenges’ is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮
Who wants to watch any of this crap?
children let loose on an unrestricted internet without familial oversight
Elementary teacher here. Can confirm.
Ahhh, I always wondered who watches the super high views, super shitty clickbait garbage. Turns out it’s the same people who play the f2p-but-it’s-all-microtransactions games.
Depressing.
There’s a pretty big viewerbase of toddlers, that’s not the Mr Beast territory. That’s the unboxing toys kinds of videos, somewhat due to them almost being incapable of leaving a loop
I… Don’t know if that’s better.
I was those kids 20 years ago, creators definitely went bizarro with their stuff.
corporatisation of the internet hadnt really begun, it’s a whole different mrbeast today
I know someone who’s 28. She doesn’t work, has a well-off partner and is behaving like a child/teenager. So uh, yeah, checks out only kids (actual or otherwise) watch him. The rest of us are grossed out by the idea and creeped out by his soulless eyes.
Right??? His eyes freak me the fuck out.
is this real?
I think so unfortunately.
I recall hearing about the pilot one as the twist was that his family was waiting outside as the end approached and this sick fuck tried to get him to stay in longer for more money.
Haven’t heard of the others mind you. They’re on brand for him though.
holy flip. I really wish he just donated the money instead of torturing people for it.
Oh he “donates” money*
*to his friends, acting as strangers in his videos.
The secret with the guy in the gym is he started out at only 90 pounds. To win any money he will have to become antimatter
I hope that guy doesn’t win.
Don’t be matter phobic, antimatter lives matter too
This is antima propaganda. Antima is a terrorist organization, unlike the patriotic Proton Boys.
That took me way too many readings to understand you were joking
No no, he’d just need to gain 100 pounds first
McDonald’s doordash all day?
If Mr Beast was twenty years older, he would’ve been the one paying bums to flight.
Hell, I’d pay to see flying bums.
Mr Beast’s Argentine Death Flights
D’oh. I’ve edited it so now your comment doesn’t make sense. Flight -> fight.
My comments don’t make sense at the best of times.
Bum Flights: a show about trying to find among 100 unhoused people any of them who are capable of learning flight sims and eventually becoming pilots. Like crop duster level pilots realistically. Airline pilot certification is probably too far along to be entertaining.
Exploitative? Still probably exploitative. Guaranteed to be at least marginally better than whatever the Beast Studios people are making
But at least they would have a chance to get a job.
Is this like flying super kids, just with adults instead?
Yeah people would watch jumping gymnastics
I have a pilot where one beast is captured and chained by each limb to ratchets. Ever 100 likes tightens a ratchet one notch. Which limb will give out first? Will the beast survive?
I really cannot wait until this guy’s audience grows out of his stupid garbage. Though unfortunately, it’s going to leave an entire generation of people who will value money over everything else.
it’s going to leave an entire generation of people who will value money over everything else.
Yes because that doesn’t already exist…
I dunno, I think he definitely shaped that thinking, not the horrible capitalistic systems we all live under
No the horrible capitalistic systems we are living under right now are shaped and controlled by the 70 and 80 somethings that currently have a strangle hold on the government.
In other words the FUCKING BOOMERS!
The funniest/saddest thing is hearing stories from niche youtubers that did one of his events talking about kids they meet finding out about it and immediately asking them for money. Just an instant switch from bored disinterest to excited begging.
Dude you obviously have not seen game shows from well forever the last 50 60 years at very least. Mr beast is just a continuation of those game shows. I for one had never really heard or watched him before beast games came out. And then I started saying more and more of his stuff. But it’s always been a part of game show culture and everything else culture to value the game and the money over anything else. However even watching those games and even his games you’ll see quite a few people that value other things over the money.
I was born in the '70s. I grew up on those game shows. They do not hold a candle to the brazen contempt for humanity that Mr Beast videos have.
Huh. You must be watching something far different then what I’ve seen.
Game shows are tame. I mean fear factor being the exception that was a fucking disgusting show. But what can you expect with who was hosting it.
And doing this stuff that he does for these guys is pretty tame oh don’t leave a plane for 24 hours oh don’t leave a grocery store for 2 days you know different stuff like that I don’t see anything that is out of the ordinary. They used to do the things all the time and I’ve even seen them live where it’s like hey come touch this car and the last person standing gets it stuff like that where people are literally passing out and everything like that they’ve been doing that since like the you know 40s 50s 60s stuff like that none of this stuff is new is my point.
That it’s “always been” doesn’t make it any more acceptable. I’m not sure what you’re saying here.
Simply that the take on them destroying society because they are taking a small handful of people and putting them in a competition isn’t accurate at all.
Back during the George Floyd protests I was watching a live stream from NYC. Several people in the comments were saying the store owners should shoot the protesters if they broke windows. I asked chat, “Do you really value property over human life?” No one said “no”, and three explicitly responded “yes!” to me. I’ll never forget that, I was a bit shocked.
Why any of these? I am confused. Seems like anyone living in a gym and being paid money would lose weight. They all sound pretty stupid.
They gonna give the contestants challenge and set them up to fail by mentally torturing them.
Jimmy is a fucking idiot. See any of the behind the scenes stuff and weird attempts at making Beast Games work. No planning, no actual experience with logistics, game design, filming, editing, etc.
He’s just some schmuck with money, and people keep giving him more.
He’s just some schmuck with money
To his credit, he did come up with the perfect formula to get kids’ attention. If you look at his first videos and compare it to the recent ones, it’s insane the difference. Nowadays there isn’t a wasted second, no moment for a thought to begin to bubble in your head.
Because it’s not supposed to make sense as a game concept. It’s just supposed to generate a video that will get clicks. That it doesn’t make sense for the actual contestant isn’t a factor.
I lost 100 pounds (and still losing), and never set foot in a gym. Where’s my $500K?
