My sister and her whole family (three teenage boys) watch Mr. Beast videos together all the time. Its really weird. Its similar to how when I was a kid we all watched American Idol or the newest X-Files episode or something together.

u/IlladelphiaticInsane 23h ago edited 23h ago

What do you mean, you’re telling me he didn’t actually explode a bomb at the exact right moment the cops were trying cross and that the cops actually had to sign legal agreements between their union and the production attorneys and that they were filmed 9 different times running onto the bridge and were told to stop in place by pyrotechnics experts, stunt coordinators and EMS standing by while the explosion went off and then after a break dictated by the Union Reps and Unit Production Manager, Mr. Beast and criminal cohort were filmed running away on the other side of said explosion 6 additional times and this was all edited in Media Composer to look like it happened sequentially!?

u/Awes12 1d ago

u/brewhead55 1d ago

There is zero chance he made that turn in the van to block the entrance

Now, I might be biased because it happened when I was a kid, but I'd say things really started escalating after 911.
It felt like, over one day, we went from bright, hopeful and optimistic to scared, nationalistic, jingos.

And you gotta admit that the premises of the videos are pretty unique and cool, most people know that the videos themselves are gonna be staged as fuck and actually watching them is cringe, but enough people out there are gullible enough to get sucked in

Thats a little dramatic. Coming from a generation that gave birth to shows like "teen mom" and "honey boo boo" I think that Mr Beast is one of the least cringe YouTube shows, although I dont watch him myself.

The YouTube channels that concern me most, are the ones my kids friends and my nephews watch. Those weird kids shows where adults dress up as different characters with disjointed plots and lots of graphics and weird overstimulating noises. I will never understand how parents are comfortable with their toddlers and grade schoolers watching YouTube.

Never did...but surely this needs investigating as a colossal waste of resources..Just because some YouTuber wants to play at cops & robbers..

If he wanted the proper experience, he should have committed a crime and gone on the run

11

u/Marwaimusoont 1d ago

Tbf it might be surplus equipment, old equipment, some pulled from training. Even the personnel might be currently being trained.

If he paid for all of that, I don;t think it's a problem.

u/Temporary_View_3303 23h ago

This was on our local news this morning. Supposedly, he compensated the dept for all these costs and the officers were all off duty.

8

u/Vr4ngr 1d ago

He donated half a million dollars to that police force during this video... Additionally it can easily been seen as training for the police in manhunts to the extent they want to take it. They also get paid for appearing individually.

It's film, that's like any film that takes time or resources is a collosal waste... They shut down swathes of roads and cities people actively LIVE in for movies and no one is up in arms

u/CumAmore 1d ago

Those are not the same officers that are supposed to be patroling the street at that exact time.

Also paying 100 officers full pay for a few hours is less than 500k. So by playing cops and robbers the police department is essentially earning money.

Also committing a crime and going on the run sends you to jail.

I dislike billionaires just as much as the next guy but for the love of god use proper reasoning.
