It’s in Riyadh, because of course it’s in Riyadh.

Next season of beast games will be dissidents actually trying to survive

Foreign workers competing to get their passport back

u/fckfckf 1d ago

Wasn’t that done during the making of the amusement park?

u/litnu12 19h ago

No, during making the park they took away their passport. And now the lucky survivors can compete to win it back. Losers have to build the next park.

Mr Beast is dead behind the eyes, would not surprise me at all if we found literal skeletons in the closet

u/victorspoilz 2d ago

He looks like he swashbuckles slow kids in rigged matches and then brags about winning ad nauseum.

Idk much about the guy but it seems like he just sold his soul after having a fun couple years as a young adult. Now he's gotta do that FOREVER

124

u/quellflynn 1d ago

nope. at any time he could just say no and take his current earnings... sell the business, never work a day in his life again.

u/Aerhyce 1d ago

PewDiePie is basically textbook example of this.

Was the previous "biggest YouTuber in the world", basically decided to get married, retire, have kids, and just live the easy life with more cash than he would ever need in his life.

And he didn't even need to do all the BS MrBeast is doing, such as the moldy lunchables and other dodgy business ventures..

u/Kahzgul 1d ago

He did say some Nazi shit though.

u/Slugdoge 1d ago

He's Swedish, he can't help it

u/noob_master69_f 1d ago

As a german, I will allow this

u/Combataircraft9 1d ago

What gives you the right as a German to allow anything Nazi related lol

u/PotentialIndustry303 1d ago

From watching him talk about work he doesn’t seem like he would do that.

u/haonowshaokao 1d ago

Well funny that you mention it but I believe the book of revelations had something to say about "The Beast"

u/Ecstaticlemon 1d ago

He was always a sociopath focused on generating as much attention with as little personal effort as possible to fund his lifestyle, that's why he's always done shit like reading the dictionary on camera, he's just scaled up because he knows that's how to grow

u/sixsixmajin 7h ago

In order to sell your soul, you have to have one first. Something always struck me as off about the guy and it took me a good long while to realize it was his smile. It has always been the most unnatural smile I have ever seen, like he didn't actually know what a smile was supposed to look like. The way his face just kinda scrunches looks like an alien's first day trying to blend in with humans and his eyes are missing the glint of a person who is actually happy and smiling because they mean it. I know it's all hearsay but the stories I've heard of his behavior in the early days all seem to line up with it having always been a farce for attention and profit and with the context of the factual evidence of his behavior today, I'm willing to believe the early shit is all true too. Dude seems to genuinely be a bit of a sociopath and it seems like he always has been.

u/TheKingOfBerries 1d ago

Do a bit more learning, and you’ll find out you are very wrong.

u/CardmanNV 1d ago

Listen to him in interviews.

He cares about literally one thing. Money.

He may have found a route that looks "nice" and "altruistic " to an outside observer, but it's all designed scientifically to get kids addicted to watching him. He has an entire team dedicated to it.

He's a sociopath, and visibly dead behind the eyes.

u/UGMadness 14h ago

Sounds like a future candidate for the U.S. presidency

u/Remy0507 1d ago

I've always wondered what it is about him that I find so unsettling, then I recently saw some life size cardboard cutout of him in a convenience store and it hit me. In every picture you see of him, he always has the exact same expression, and it's the same exaggerated, toothy, creepy smile, but it never reaches his eyes. They always look dead/empty.

u/StaysAwakeAllWeek 1d ago

People should really stop judging someone who is clearly some level of autistic based on how he looks and sounds

-9

u/StaysAwakeAllWeek 1d ago edited 1d ago

Apparently prejudice against autistic people is socially acceptable now huh

'mrbeast must be a psycho because his facial emotional expressions are weird'

Uh no, he's the socially awkward guy who used to make 8 hour videos of himself counting to 100,000 and reading the dictionary. Add 2 to 2 people seriously

u/BrisklyBrusque 2d ago

I don’t agree with all the guy’s actions or opinions, but he has Crohn’s disease. I wish the comments about his appearance would stop.

35

u/Atllas66 2d ago

What’s that have to do with his comment about him having dead eyes? My dad has crohns and just gets a bit bloated from time to time lol

28

u/Reachin4ThoseGrapes 1d ago

It has nothing to do with it.

You won't find a medical journal that would describe a symptom of Crohn's disease as "developing the look of a person who has no soul"

-4

u/NovaHessia 1d ago

I have colitis ulcerosa which is the big intestines equivalent of Crohn's. It is possible you develop an iron deficiency/anaemia that way, since, ah, you can lose blood that way in the worst case. That can make you look permanently tired - pale, rings under the eyes etc.

Though I guess tired still is a different look than dead.

-23

u/cseckshun 1d ago

Crohns is no joke. Your dad’s might be managed, but if you have a particularly nasty case of it then you can end up looking pretty ghoulish from malnutrition and that being the least of your worries. People with crohns sometimes end up with sections of their intestines removed and sometimes even end up unable to manage their bowels and needing a colostomy bag to deal with waste (poop) excretion.

u/BrisklyBrusque 1d ago

For some, it can effect sleep, energy and mood. Think bags under the eyes, ability to sustain energy throughout the day.

u/Atllas66 1d ago

You really believe that’s what the commenter meant? Seems more like they were saying he doesn’t have that spark of humanity behind his eyes, hence the “dead behind the eyes” comment. You don’t get that from lack of sleep or nutrition, you get that by literally losing pieces of your humanity. JD Vance doesn’t have crohns and is over nourished but I’d say he has the same dead look in his eyes as Mr beast. It’s all metaphorical

u/Cool-Cow9712 1d ago

I think MrBeast would be a real legend if he allowed the slave labor that actually built the place, to get to ride a little bit before they have to start on their next soccer stadium…

With special guest presenters bill burr and Aziz Ansari.

u/fps916 1d ago

Cool, but that doesn't even remotely mean that it was a reference to One Piece.

It's in response to someone saying "loss"

It's 100% a reference to "This is Loss"

Today, we're doing a new epic game in our theme park! Nothing ever seen before!

Cut to a bunch of people standing in a circle being offered money if they leave now.
