Watch the stand-up comedy video 'The Scale of MrBeast's New Show is Insane' from Theo Von Clips on Comedy Buff. Published 2024-12-21. Transcript available.

so is this is it already started we going yeah we'll start right now man let's
do it uh mr beast
jimmy nice to see you today likewise bro that's awesome man so beast games that's
the show yeah
so before this we were i was showing him episode one of a show i have coming
out december 19th
what'd you think of it we watched it and then he started talking his team was
like hit the cameras
like wait wait now i'm dying to know what do you think oh i thought a lot of
things man first of
all i thought that you are obviously you're this wizard of oz willy wonka kind
of um william
wallace of finances type of um energy going on okay you know there's a lot of
that a lot like
i've never seen a show where every i mean couple minutes there's a there's like
another uh twist
of possibility right yeah i kind of realized how many game shows are missing so
many little
elements in there where they could manipulate the situation more more create
more of an environment
for like um competitors in the game to make choices that would affect them and
others you know yeah
when like basically having layers and stuff like that but the big thing is no
one's ever set up like
that many cameras before because it's a logistical nightmare so it's hard to do
these kinds of things
normally unscripted because like you know we we had unfathomable amounts of
footage like over 100
years of footage from that episode 100 years of footage yeah because i mean we
had to have over
100 people work on it and post so it's like to be able to do something at that
scale even just like
to set up the cameras and edit and everything is uh i mean no one's ever done
it before it's
diabolical almost yeah you know yeah you said there's a lot of uh world records
that were broken in
in the shooting of the of this uh series yeah 40 guinness world records wow
yeah oh we have like
so many plaques now that we have up on our wall i'm basically making a wall out
of uh guinness plaques
just from the show what uh what are some of the records you guys broke uh most
contestants ever in
a show largest cash prize in a show most cameras recording at once in a show uh
most people which you
saw yeah uh and uh show like most money given away in the first episode of a
show just like stuff like
that yeah oh that's the most people probably since 9 11 i would think oh my
gosh we might have to
take that out uh yeah and that's i shouldn't have said that i'll say something
else um yeah i haven't
seen that many people uh at the same time wait why was there a cut before you
say what you're saying
right now oh there's just we needed something he had to use the bathroom yeah
yeah just had to use
the yeah i'd already i'd already soiled the conversation uh oh that's the most
people at once
that i'd seen since um oh since i was in the parking lot of a widespread panic
concert you know
but that was lsd um that kind of works a little yeah i think that's actually
honestly you should
keep the first one okay here we go dude you said it not me that's a great point
you make the choices
man yeah do you feel like this wizard like because i'm as i'm watching i'm like
man there's so many
things i'm like how where does the motivation come from is it to like do you
get so much joy out of
like having the manipulation of the situation is it giving away the money is
because there's so many
moments in there where i'm like watching people's feelings change like yeah
what is it for you that
like have you been able to figure out because you've done so many of these uh
types of um competitions
and opportunities for people right yeah i mean this the thing is you i feel
like i'm motivated by a
lot of things and these kinds of game shows it's fun to like create
environments that have never been
created for and and just like well let's just see kind of what people do like a
lot of that is just
like mass behavioral psychology like if you offer someone money to eliminate
other people how much
money would it take you know no i don't think people some seniors i don't know
if i would let
one of my grandparents watch this yeah just the levels of yeah your heart
beating there's a lot
yeah yeah that's what i was going for what what i really wanted is like in my
youtube videos sometimes
people say they they don't have enough emotion or they lack the storytelling or
whatever and
part of it is like it's just youtube when you go to like a stream platform like
amazon prime video
or netflix you're like sitting down to watch something usually for like hours
and you're
to watch like this longer story and show but when you go to youtube more than
likely like you know
you're going there for a quicker hit you're not sitting down expecting to watch
a 10 episode series
like you're just clicking on videos and watching so content put up on youtube
is just different it's
like you know series don't do as well and you you know and so it's much easier
to build characters
and feel emotion over these 10 episodes six hours of content than it is in a 20
minute video because
you have like 10 minutes to build them up but then you got to wind the story
down because the
video is going to end in 10 minutes you know what i mean so my big thing here
was like i really
wanted you to feel something and and i wanted to like flex those muscles and
like actually
build characters and like give emotion and things like that you know like when
we were watching
that even though i've already seen it like 100 times already i could feel my
heart pounding yeah i
mean or it might have been the celsius i was drinking i don't know but like i
really could feel
the emotion that's what i want like when people watch the show i want them to
have very intense
feelings yeah oh i mean i definitely did man and the interesting thing to me
too is like a lot of
times with game shows and um it's the contestants that you start to get to know
right yeah but with
this it's not the contestants like well you will later on but because there's a
thousand of them
right first i gotta you know lay down the hammer axe you know 900 of them or
whatever and then
we can build them up oh i see and i definitely learned why no one ever uh does
stuff with a
thousand because that's the most contestants ever it's it's a lot to like just
everything is you know
a thousand hotel rooms a night you know what i mean if the hotel room is two
hundred dollars that's
two hundred thousand dollars a night and just hotel rooms and you're feeding
them and even like
every little thing is so expensive when you times it by a thousand and then
like to record a thousand
people you need a thousand cameras just to buy a thousand cameras is a bitch
and then to hook all
the cameras up to the server we need like 56 miles of cable to run it over
there and then you need
like 250 camera people to check in on them and so it's like i know why people
don't do reality shows
at this scale because it's so fucking expensive um like yeah what was the total
budget of this show
uh can you can i want to tell you about it can you just believe it so it doesn't
make it in for sure
okay can we believe it in some artistic way so at least looks exciting you know
just be like what
the fuck um or do this sure put that over my mouth it was uh we spent dollars
oh my god yeah i hope my
mom's all right i didn't mean it don't cancel me no i'm just trying to give
some different
oh my god trying to get some different reactions put that in the intro oh my
god bro that you spent
that much on this yeah because it gets crazier like that first one we we built
a thousand towers
and those are real towers that have actual hydraulic press doors that are have
to be safety proof with
giant foam and crash pad at the bottom with the light system right because we're
turning them red
and green and then we had to build custom software to connect it all where you
press the button and
some of the lights change and then we had to rig like i told you a thousand
cameras in there
to a giant control center like just that first episode alone was i mean crazy
man and do you have to
take it all down at the end yeah yeah so i didn't i don't own that building
yeah because the
problem is like we needed six massive hangers so like we basically in canada
there's like these
six giant airport hangers and we were just like hey can we use those and
convert them all to these
big sets and then right outside is a field and that's where we built that city
which was also so
i i have in this field at one point i have like 800 people working over here
just building a city in
the middle of a field and i've got like 600 construction people in these six
hangers just building
these other sets and then i have all these i mean at some points we had like
over 2 000 people on set
just in this town in canada so it was it was crazy were you employing just a
lot of locals i mean just
you were just you would set up you would put out the employment opportunities
in advance
uh yeah we we worked with uh two different unions and then yeah we hired a
bunch of people locally and
and things like that so yeah it created a lot of jobs locally there it's
interesting because now that
i've done like a streaming show or whatever uh it's like a lot of these shows
their cash prizes like
250 000 500 000 it's like i wonder why they don't give away more you know what
i mean like you'll watch
this whole you know 10 episode show just to see who wins 250k and it's like the
first three minutes of
our show we gave away a million dollars yeah you're like yeah this is yeah so
it'll be interesting i'm
curious to see how people react to it because i just but anyways you're gonna
make other yeah
Thank you.
