I will call this the "Markiplier Paradox". The Markiplier Paradox is when an individual is simultaneously the smartest and the dumbest of a group of two or more people.
Did you kill him?. "No no , maybe. He might have deserved it" Gets my every time only for it to be followed but by "I can't tell if he's a genius or a moron"
In fact, in the original version, Mark didn't self-report... It was Jack (Sean) who reported the dead body, and Mark tried (and succeeded) to convince them it was self-report XD
What if mark actually did that on this video, then shared it to jack. A rather... small part of me wants to see that happen, but. I still wanna see that
Wait, Tyler killed Wade and said he deserved it, then Wade said that lmaoo Mark was just re-quoting it But it definitely was big brain because he admitted to it and still won lmao
@@darkdragoness5 this exactly. Joking about it like that is 100 percent in line with Mark’s sense of humor. And that’s why he pulls this all off so easily. He’s good at the game cause his personality remains consistent and he has no specific killer habits.
"You're letting the dumbest player get away with the smartest thing" was honestly the best line out of the video (both animation and original video) Fantastic work on the animation!!! 10/10
I can't believe he actually got away with it. I thought for sure Jack would be able to convince them it was Mark. But that was a great line. Love watching those two.
In reality, he is a genius. He just plays dumb as a bit, which means he is being smart by playing dumb. …yeah, now thinking about it, having to use that much knowledge just to determine if Mark is smart or not is just pointless. He’s god. That’s it. He’s god. No excuses. He’s god. You’re not gonna convince me otherwise. He’s god. He is the manipulator of the human race, everyone looks like Mark for a reason, because he created them! *He’s god.*
@@dovesveins333 I think it was the last game on the video "Oh yeah, Its big brain time". A lot of people were making fun on how he missed Ethan vent but it was way more impressive how he solved everything by memorizing everybody locations and Ethan tendencies.
@@iwantmoney3598: People act like everyone always has to see everything in every game, and when they don't, they must be dumb. Mark literally said: No one gets away with anything *if I'm actually paying attention*. He wasn't paying attention to the vent because he was checking his map, and then saw the body, so he focused on reporting it. And Ethan's character was there for only a split second. Some people just seem to have a weird obsession with constantly trying to prove that Mark is actually dumb, and to prove him wrong, even when he's just joking about something.
This moment right here. This will go down in history. Also absolutely wonderful job animating so much expression with characters that only have a visor for a face!
"Where did you go?" "I went to go do the thing with Wade" "Wade's dead" "Yes, and?" "Did you kill him?" "NO! NOOO! Maybe, he might've deserved it! But i'm gonna go with No" "I don't know if he's a genius or a moron..." Edit - The argument happening in the replies over a year after I made this comment is downright hilarious.
@Mr Durva The purpose of the comment is to show which part of the video spoke to them. Not to say something original. You're being kinda stupid for not realising that.
Here we have what’s known as an ‘underflow error’. Mark’s IQ attempted to drop from 0 to -1, but because a negative IQ is impossible, it instead wrapped back around to its maximum possible value, roughly 2000. This juxtaposition of minimum and maximum values, resulted in a strategy that was simultaneously the smartest and dumbest plan one could create. This is known by scholars as “Bumbum’s Paradox.” Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
@@tuckinatorinator787 No, literally impossible. IQ is an average of the entire population’s intelligence, so it’s limited by how many people actually took a test.
I actually love how he plays. He doesn't take anything too seriously and just plays it how he wants. With every video being filled with every player trying to be big brain, it's nice to see Mark just fuck with everybody for kicks and giggles.
@Magical Worm Sometimes, but if you watch him on Ethan's birthday stream, and I believe on his first among us video, he says that he personally doesn't enjoy these games a whole lot. He doesn't hate the, just doesn't find them super enjoyable.
Mark's argument of "yes, and?" was actually genius because I think they were trying to make him incriminate himself. However Mark being smart just answers and does not elaborate further, trying to see what their point is for that question which pushes them back a bit on their accusation.
Jack: I don't know if he's a genius or a moron. The Markiplier fanbase: We've all been trying to figure that out for years. My guess is that he's both, but considering he created A Heist with Markiplier, I'd say he's 40% stupid and 60% smart. (In my opinion)
except for when mark was partnered with Wade before they moved to the Mira HQ map (Ethan was able to figure out mark was the impostor just outta luck bc Wade f**ked up). I bet if mark had been partnered with anyone else, he possibly woulda won that round
@@gameboyatron1405 And that won't happen again... It's always the one you thought to be incompetent to end up BSing their way through the game... I won't forget that game with Junk
I would just love to have the sound clip of Jack saying "I don't know if he's a genius or a moron." Because it not only fits mark so well it's just the perfect response.
Am I the only one thinking mark can get away with murder? Given he acts like an idiot, even though he isn’t one IRL, you wouldn’t suspect him to be a killer. That’s what makes it genius. He acts oblivious, while playing dumb, to appear innocent so he would be less likely to be caught.
Sean's "Oh. My. GOOOOD!!" as they're unsure if Mark is lying or not is hilarious. Like he just knows he's boned when he's the only real witness to the killer.
I will call this the "Markiplier Paradox".
The Markiplier Paradox is when an individual is simultaneously the smartest and the dumbest of a group of two or more people.
When your stupidity is so smart your are a genius
This is definitely a good science theory

@@Rollingthunder263 No the Homer Paradox is when everyone thinks the Dumbest person in the room is a genius.
After the game: "YOUR DEFENSE WAS *I DESERVED IT!?!?"*
It was for not winning at Fall Guys
The amazing thing is...everyone was like "Well, yeah, he's Wade, he did SOMETHING to deserve it..."
That was actually after an earlier round, Mark was just echoing that conversation on purpose
