The ''[=MrBeast=]'' channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MrBeast6000 here]]. The creator has other channels, including [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-79UOlP48-QNGgCko5p2g a shorts channel]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIPPMRA040LQr5QPyJEbmXA a gaming channel]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUaT_39o1x6qWjz7K2pWcgw a channel for miscellaneous insanity]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAiLfjNXkNv24uhpzUgPa6A a channel for his very own charity]] and even a set of official channels that edit and [[{{Redubbing}} dub]] his videos into other languages, including [[https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBeastenFran%C3%A7ais/featured French]], [[https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBeastenEspa%C3%B1ol/featured Spanish]], [[https://www.youtube.com/c/mrbeastbrasil/channels Brazillian Portuguese]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBeastRussian/featured Russian]]. As of 2023, he instead uses the new Audio Track feature for [=YouTube=] to accomplish translations, now having dubs in languages like Japanese and Korean.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Jimmy goes by some very basic, very common sense rules when organizing gaming events. Between him and either Karl or Kris overseeing player behavior, people cheating in Minecraft are very quickly caught and banned from the server. Note that this ''does'' include his friends; Karl once busted Chandler using the teleport command to catch up to another player given a freebie in the Minecraft maze challenge and Jimmy immediately banned Chandler from the server. (Jimmy reinstated him later, although he hardly benefited from it).

->''"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttLYXcza4j4&t=32 MrBeast6000, oh oohhhhh…]]"''

[=MrBeast=] (the person) is also known for his philanthropy, giving away massive amounts of cash to people in need through giveaways and challenges on ''[=MrBeast=]'' (the channel), such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz3yak1cl-8 Last to Leave Circle wins $10,000]]. These usually involve his friends (Chris, Karl and Chandler) competing, though sometimes other people participate, too. ''[=MrBeast's=]'' content nowadays is mostly about these things, [[SerialEscalation taken to the extreme.]] Some more recent videos of his include:

** In his real-life recreation of ''Series/SquidGame'', the guards are a lot more affable than they were in the show. They act more like referees than just executioners, and they laugh and joke along with the contestants, whereas in the original show, they were pretty much silent and they wore face coverings (downplayed on that last one since outside of Chris, Karl and Chandler, they still do wear masks). By extension, Mr. Beast himself, given that [[spoiler:the original man who started the games doesn't have a high opinion of the people competing in the games or the people [=MrBeast=] normally helps out]]. Even the game ''itself'' is [[LighterAndSofter this trope]]. Aside from the obvious fact that [[SparedByTheAdaptation no one dies in this version]], the original Squid Games only give money to the families of losing players on the condition that the majority the players agree to stop playing, whereas everyone who participated in the games here was given $1,000 as compensation for filming complications the first day of play, and every eliminated player from the second game onwards walks away with $2,000+. The person who got second place was also awarded $10,000.

(Jimmy reinstated him later, although he hardly benefited from it).
* CatScare: In "Would You Swim With Sharks for $100,000?", a sting plays just as a "shark" swims by Chris while he's in the water. However, looking closely shows it's actually a harmless remora and several more can be seen both swimming with the actual sharks and attached to their bodies.

* ChekhovsGag: In the "Last to Leave Tesla, Keeps It" video, Chandler (in the middle of a ''long'' losing streak) states that he's waiting for the biggest prize. Chris notes how absurd this is, as there have already been a house and a mini-yacht as prizes… but Chandler would eventually make good on this statement by winning a ''private island''.

** Taken to an extreme in "Push This Button to Win $100,000", in which every button push can either be a punishment or a reward. Most of them are punishments, starting with Chris having to wear pants with mayonnaise and increasing in ridiculousness as the video continues.

* FreudianTrio: A trio of his most recognizable friends are this: Karl Jacobs is TheKirk due to being a loud young adult, loves to reference memes and is one of the more emotional of Jimmy's friends but can be level headed and logical sometimes, Chris Tyson is TheSpock due to being a NiceGuy just like Jimmy and the TeamDad of the group, being a level-headed individual [[BewareTheNiceOnes but can get hostile from time to time]] [[NotSoAboveItAll and has his moments of comedy]] and Chandler Hallow is the TheMcCoy due to being the ManChild {{Cloudcuckoolander}} of the group, is usually hungry [[AbsurdPhobia and afraid of random things like pickles]].

* {{Mooning}}: Chris once did this in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZQhgExjBvQ I Survived 24 Hours Straight In Ice]]" when he realized how transparent the walls of Jimmy's ice house were. [[DidntThinkThisThrough It causes Jimmy to crack up laughing and he walks away complaining that his butt is wet.]] [[LaserGuidedKarma The camera then cuts to Chris slipping and falling on the ice outside.]]

** For game challenges, particularly in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', Jimmy and his crew like to toss players items to at least make the action pick up and help make declaring a winner happen sooner. When it's just his friends playing a competition among themselves, he will at least try to keep the score even.[[labelnote: Example]] When pitting Chandler and Chris against Karl and Nolan, Chandler and Chris won the first two of a series of games quickly. In order to make the score even, Jimmy gave Nolan a laser in a game where the two sides were supposed to be using multi-arrow launchers at one another (which let Nolan light half the map on fire). Later, Jimmy gave Karl and Nolan water buckets to save their landing after having handed Chandler and Chris an easy method of dispatching them with rocket launchers.[[/labelnote]]

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Their audio equipment takes a ''lot'' from Karl, Chris and Chandler, especially on the gaming channel. Karl is the most prone to screaming at a high pitch since, given his ButtMonkey status, he is likely to watch the game screw him over or get mugged by a mob in short order.

* TeamDad: Chris. He's typically the one trusted to light fires and keep the group fed/sheltered during survival challenges, in addition to actually being a father.
* TheSongRemainsTheSame: "Donating $100,00 To Random Streamers" features one of the streamers Chris finds on Mixer rapping. In the French dub of the video, he is dubbed over like everyone else, but the lyrics remain in English.

** In Jimmy's gaming channel, LetsPlay/{{Dream}} appears in some of his videos and is one of the two main characters in the LetsPlay/{{Dream}} VS LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} $100,000 duel. In fact, the continued existence of the gaming channel is because of Dream, as one of the challenges had the stakes of ''the gaming channel getting deleted if they lost''. (The challenge consisted of 100 players hunting down the [=MrBeast=] team while Dream defended them; if all four got killed within 15 minutes, the channel would have been deleted.)

** LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} also once appeared in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk6thMe6Vq8 I Survived 100 Days Of Hardcore Minecraft!]]". Only to be blown up by a TNT he was not aware was lit and get permabanned for dying in a hardcore game.

* TranslationCorrection:
** In ''Can You Beat Fall Guys Without Jumping?!'', Jimmy erroneously states that in "Door Dash", the correct doors are an inch higher than the others, when in reality they were an inch ''shorter''. The Spanish dub corrects this.
** In ''World's Fastest Car!'', Jimmy says that whoever comes in first place gets four pounts, and whoever comes in second gets three, when he actually meant to say three and two points, respectively. The Brazilian Portuguese and French dubs corrected the error.

* ShownTheirWork: During his 30-day fast, when he finally calls it quits and takes a bite out of Creator/GordonRamsay's sandwich, [=MrBeast=] tells him that he's gonna have to spit it out due to something called Refeeding Syndrome, a serious problem where quickly reintroducing food to a starved body could cause fatal repercussions.

** Instead of players being able to see which shape they're picking in the second game, the shapes are instead hidden since people will pick all the easy shapes anyway.

** For the Marbles game, the players are forced to team up with their closest associates during the games instead of allowing them to pick their partner that they have to fight against.
** The surviving contestants still have steak dinner before the last game, but instead with plastic knives instead of silverware.

''[=MrBeast=]'' is the Website/YouTube channel name and alias of American {{YouTuber|s}} Jimmy Donaldson (born May 7, 1998). He started mostly making ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' videos, then talking about other [=YouTubers=], and then gaining notoriety for making fun of other [=YouTubers'=] intros, before getting known for videos where he does really absurd things. For instance:

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In his real-life recreation of ''Series/SquidGame'', the guards are a lot more affable than they were in the show. They act more like referees than just executioners, and they laugh and joke along with the contestants, whereas in the original show, they were pretty much silent and they wore face coverings (downplayed on that last one since outside of Chris, Karl and Chandler, they still do wear masks). By extension, Mr. Beast himself, given that [[spoiler:the original man who started the games doesn't have a high opinion of the people competing in the games or the people [=MrBeast=] normally helps out]]. Even the game ''itself'' is [[LighterAndSofter this trope]]. Aside from the obvious fact that [[SparedByTheAdaptation no one dies in this version]], the original Squid Games only give money to the families of losing players on the condition that the majority the players agree to stop playing, whereas everyone who participated in the games here was given $1,000 as compensation for filming complications the first day of play, and every eliminated player from the second game onwards walks away with $2,000+. The person who got second place was also awarded $10,000.

* DeathWorld: As seen in ''I Survived 50 Hours In Antarctica'', Antarctica is [[{{Understatement}} not a very fun place to stay]] (let alone spend three days) in. Not only is the weather awful, but multiple giant blizzards randomly sweep through the place (causing the crew's skin to start freezing), the sun never goes down (leaving them unsure of what time it is and messing up their sleep) and frostbite is always a danger (even when the crew is covered in full gear).

** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZQhgExjBvQ I Survived 24 Hours Straight In Ice]], Jimmy quickly regrets the challenge once he's inside the ice house. It is 24°F, he goes in wearing a hoodie over a t-shirt and sweat pants, and his friends are more inclined to force him to leave (not unreasonable; they don't want to have syrup dumped on them if Jimmy succeeds) than provide more than food and frustration. He secretly bribes a cameraman for his gloves and a few other items to help him out.

* LockedUpAndLeftBehind: Nolan ends up being left in solitary confinement at the end of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM89Wl03Q4g I Survived 50 Hours In A Maximum Security Prison]]''. It, unfortunately, happened again as he gets left buried alive in a coffin at the end of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbJJwaVdgIs I Got Hunted By The Military]]''.

* {{Mooning}}: Chris once did this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZQhgExjBvQ I Survived 24 Hours Straight In Ice]] when he realized how transparent the walls of Jimmy's ice house were. [[DidntThinkThisThrough It causes Jimmy to crack up laughing and he walks away complaining that his butt is wet.]] [[LaserGuidedKarma The camera then cuts to Chris slipping and falling on the ice outside.]]

** LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} also once appeared in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk6thMe6Vq8 "I Survived 100 Days Of Hardcore Minecraft!]]. Only to be blown up by a TNT he was not aware was lit and get permabanned for dying in a hardcore game.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Jimmy and his crew form this dynamic.
** Sanguine: Karl
** Choleric: Chandler
** Phlegmatic: Jimmy
** Melancholic: Chris

** In Jimmy's gaming channel, LetsPlay/{{Dream}} appears in some of his videos, and is one of the two main characters in the LetsPlay/{{Dream}} VS LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} $100,000 duel.

(The challenge consisted of 100 players hunting down the [=MrBeast=] team while Dream defended them; if all four got killed within 15 minutes, the channel would have been deleted.)

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Regularly through expressions since Jimmy's friends have already been through the wringer a number of times. Occasionally heralded by Jimmy saying "I think you know where I'm going with this".

* UnclePennybags: Jimmy himself fits this trope. In some of his videos, [[ThinkNothingOfIt he gives away money for free like it's nothing]] via donating to Twitch Streamers without viewers, made a "free money!" bank and basically gives away cash to friends, family and even random strangers. He isn't only on the giveaway cash deeds, he gave away houses to a homeless person and a pizza delivery guy, made all dogs and puppies in an adoption center have loving homes, and the famous Team Trees project of planting 20 MILLION TREES. Usually, his helping out comes across as more of a WealthyPhilanthropist. [[NiceGuy Plus, he is a quaint and friendly individual.]]

''[=MrBeast's=]'' content nowadays is mostly about these things, [[SerialEscalation taken to the extreme.]] Some more recent videos of his include:

* AwesomeButImpractical: Some prizes are really cool on the surface, but aren't worth keeping. Fortunately, they are still ''very'' valuable and can be sold for money. Some good examples include Chandler having to sell the private island he won due to the amount of taxes he has to pay, or the winner of the chocolate factory selling it back to [=MrBeast=] due to the cost of its maintenance.

** Video essayist and filmmaker WebVideo/PatrickHWillems and his friend Dave Wiskus are two of the [=GameStop=] customers that appear in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6E22XQPhhg Anything You Can Fit In The Triangle I’ll Pay For]]" -- Willems is the one who breaks out a tape measurer to fit items into the triangle.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Jimmy goes by some very basic, very common sense rules when organizing gaming events. Between him and either Karl or Chris overseeing player behavior, people cheating in Minecraft are very quickly caught and banned from the server. Note that this ''does'' include his friends; Karl once busted Chandler using the teleport command to catch up to another player given a freebie in the Minecraft maze challenge, and Jimmy immediately banned Chandler from the server.

* {{Determinator}}: In ''I Didn’t Eat Food For 30 Days'', Jimmy lasts two whole weeks without eating any food despite the constant temptation of his friends, repeated tiredness, grueling hunger, nausea and having to film his CharlieAndTheChocolateParody while on his fast. He most likely would've lasted for a full 30 days if [[SupremeChef Gordon Ramsay]] hadn't cooked Jimmy a scrumptious Breakfast Sandwich (the smell of which makes Jimmy ''[[ManlyTears cry]]'').

** One button push in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLoeAJUcz38 Press This Button To Win $100,000!]] gives Chandler the choice of nominating one person to not be allowed to press the button for ten pushes. He immediately chooses himself in order to avoid the punishments. Jimmy quickly points out that, for all he knows, one of those ten presses could be the $100K, and Chandler just disqualified himself from it. Chandler has to sit to one side and wait for the button to be pressed ten times before he can resume. To his fortune, the money didn't come up.

* FreudianTrio: A trio of his most recognizable friends are this: Karl Jacobs is TheKirk due to being a loud young adult, loves to reference memes, and is one of the more emotional of Jimmy's friends but can be level headed and logical sometimes, Chris Tyson is TheSpock due to being a NiceGuy just like Jimmy and the TeamDad of the group, being a level-headed individual [[BewareTheNiceOnes but can get hostile from time to time]] [[NotSoAboveItAll and has his moments of comedy]] and Chandler Hallow is the TheMcCoy due to being the ManChild {{Cloudcuckoolander}} of the group and is usually hungry [[AbsurdPhobia and afraid of random things like pickles]].

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: His ''Series/SquidGame'' video is a pretty faithful recreation of the series (minus the death) with all of the iconic games...except for the final one "Squid Game", which is instead replaced with Musical Chairs. Jimmy justifies this by telling the remaining contestants to raise their hands if they know how to play Squid Game. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Nobody raises their hands.]]

* LoopholeAbuse: In "I Gave My 100,000,000th Subscriber An Island", one of the challenges is Red Light, Green Light as a CallBack to the ''Series/SquidGame'' video. At one point, Jimmy makes a comment about the game before walking away, and one of the contestants realizes that, since he said "green light" during said comment, he can make a run towards the finish line, becoming the first winner. Jimmy even notes that, by a technicality, this is allowed.

* {{Mooning}}: Chris once did this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZQhgExjBvQ I Survived 24 Hours Straight In Ice]] when he realized how transparent the walls of Jimmy's ice house were. [[DidntThinkThisThrough It causes Jimmy to crack up laughing, and he walks away complaining that his butt is wet.]] [[LaserGuidedKarma The camera then cuts to Chris slipping and falling on the ice outside.]]

** For challenges in real life, rules that increase the chances a person is eliminated from the competition so that a single winner can be determined. For hide-and-seek, he declares part of the field off-limits so that he has a better chance of finding people and narrowing down the winner (otherwise, people have proven to be quite efficient at hiding and being impossible for him to find even when he has others helping; the competition could potentially go on for days). For others which tests people's endurance ("Last with a hand on..." or "Last to leave..."), when the action and trash talk has died, giving people things to play with and giving them enticements to leave help speed up the game and declare a winner.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Their audio equipment takes a ''lot'' from Karl, Chris, and Chandler, especially on the gaming channel. Karl is the most prone to screaming at a high pitch since, given his ButtMonkey status, he is likely to watch the game screw him over or get mugged by a mob in short order.

Jimmy even notes that, by a technicality, this is allowed.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In his real-life recreation of ''Series/SquidGame'', the guards are a lot more affable than they were in the show. They act more like referees than just executioners, and they laugh and joke along with the contestants, whereas in the original show, they were pretty much silent and they wore face coverings (downplayed on that last one since outside of Chris, Karl and Chandler, they still do wear masks). By extension, Mr. Beast himself, given that [[spoiler:the original man who started the games doesn't have a high opinion of the people competing in the games or the people [=MrBeast=] normally helps out]]. Even the game ''itself'' is [[LighterAndSofter this trope]]. Aside from the obvious fact that [[SparedByTheAdaptation no one dies in this version]], the original Squid Games only give money to the families of losing players on the condition that the majority the players agree to stop playing whereas every eliminated player from the second game onwards walks away with $2,000+ regardless of player vote.

Jimmy even notes that, by a technicality, this counts.
