It’s Not Easy Being A Youtuber…
As the self-proclaimed King of the Squirrels and Five Nights at Freddy’s, it’s no exaggeration to say that Mark Fischbach is one of Youtube’s biggest success stories. With a subscriber count closing in on twenty million, he’s showing no signs of slowing down as he continues to dish out new content in relation to video games, charity work and skits, all the while making us laugh ourselves silly. Though we have to admit, the hilarity tends to be at its peak when he’s somewhat…enraged.
Whether its fighting for his life against possessed animatronics, battling bad controls or just trying to toast a slice of bread, these are the Markiplier moments that never fail to make us break out into fits of laughter!
#3: “Captured” (2006)
The look on Mark’s face as he is informed via rapid exposition that he has been kidnapped, trapped in a labyrinth and must flee from a blind killer called Damien Clyde speaks volumes. Rightfully terrified of being hacked to pieces, Mark does his best to traverse the various traps laid out for him, until he comes across the penultimate section. There, he’s tasked with spinning three wheels before another victim gets their head squashed, all the while being chased by Damien Clyde. He unfortunately fails in his task, leading to the funniest apology we’ve ever heard.
#2: “Vanish” (2012)
A Markiplier classic, one that started off as a creepy exploration of a well-made indie horror…but soon divulged into something all the more explosive. After repeated failures, Mark slowly starts to lose his mind. Whether its repeating the phrase “just give me the door” over and over again or going off on a tangent about the history of America, it’s clear that this game broke him. Though after that many failures, even we were starting to believe that the developers had installed an Anti-Markiplier Mode.
#1: “Getting Over It” (2017)
To this day, no game has inspired more visceral frustration, pure hatred and disdain for human life from Mark than Bennett Foddy’s magnum opus. And we love it. The somewhat philosophical exploits of one man using a hammer to climb his way up a mountain truly highlighted just how badly Mark handles rage games. With every fall, the King of the Squirrels was nearly reduced to tears, to the point where we think he might have given up on ever being happy again. It’s a series of mesmerising, malice-filled misadventures not to be missed by any fan!
