[@saburtierney]

You know you've made it when you make it on GQ and your essentials are all personal collabs

[@LouisLuzuka]

😊

[@bngr_bngr]

I thought he was going to say he first discover Relativity.

[@PorkChopper.]

This was basically an AD for all his products

[@circleofthytyrants]

literally 2/10 are collabs. wtf are u on about

[@saburtierney]

​@@circleofthytyrants Not sure what your on about when all im saying is how cool it is that he's built such a mainstream personal brand. Also 4/10, skin, bag, bottle, shoes

[@yussifbawaasumah4144]

Marques reviewing his own essentials 😂

[@danilocalic797]

He had them for the last two weeks, at least

[@TechOutAdam]

LOL!@@danilocalic797

[@user-em6yn4my5c]

😂

[@Odidi_Bee6ix]

😂😂😂😊

[@dylanguerrero8053]

Not having MKBHD in 4K is a CRIME.

[@emmanuelporte4201]

Still HD lol

[@VictorBalestrin]

Also, on 24fps, as opposed to his preferred 30.

[@circleofthytyrants]

@@VictorBalestrinhope u meant a preferred 120 hz. who tf still on 30 lol

[@iamJUFU]

CRAZYY

[@VictorBalestrin]

@@circleofthytyrants Refresh rate ≠ frames per second, smartass.

[@Isa-ru8vk]

Marques bringing his own sharpie in case someone asks for an autograph is quite considerate on his part

[@LouisLiuMusic]

😂😂😂❤

[@danielfowler7986]

I carry a sharpie too, for the same reason, but so far nobody has asked for my autograph

[@tepro1612]

i carry one as well but i’m not famous so i haven’t had to use it yet. waiting for the day tho

[@scotthu8801]

Can I get one?@@danielfowler7986

[@Yenzi769]

Marques Brownlee's essentials are all personal collabs, showing how far he's come. So proud of this tech guru!

[@circleofthytyrants]

all of them? Only 2/10 of them are even his brand. what..

[@jaimeduncan6167]

What are you talking about: Stuff that are not collabs: The Apple Watch, the MacBook Pro, the iPhone, the Red Camera. I believe the Apple AirPods Max are not review units but I am not 100% sure. The only things that are Collabs for sure are the shoes, the skin for the MacBook, and the backpack.

[@TheRealMafoo]

@@jaimeduncan6167 And the backpack isn't a colab. It's a one off just for him (and maybe his team)

[@Philip_Taylor]

You just wanted more exposure so you wrote this comment.

[@BaddyK]

@@circleofthytyrants ofc they just d**k riding in these comments for likes

[@thesaralkumar]

2:03 he carried Andrew’s one here. Sweet!

[@hickyxnicky411]

yes!!!

[@theharesbreath]

He carried the ONEEEE!

[@victorblas3483]

Haha TRI-VI-UHHH

[@AV.Creative]

BINGOOOO LETSGOOOOOOOO

[@AV.Creative]

@@victorblas3483 DUDE

[@rdc4382]

been watching MKBHD since 2014 and im so glad that he didn't change one bit still the same humble tech guy we know.

[@thepatrikperspective]

Except for the fact that he scams people by upcharging ridiculous amount for his low quality shoes

[@faraikamusoko9711]

He carried the 1 !!

[@bambamedsalem9673]

😂❤

[@mayavril1]

Yes!!! I chuckled at that lol

[@g.bloggz]

the comment I was looking for!

[@johncrohmer834]

Waveform frenz

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

One of the very few “KZbinrs” that I 100% trust

[@xyzgta]

the subtle flex on "I know somebody" for Peak Design!!! a Super Bowl ad can't buy that !!! Peak MKBHDesign !!

[@alidasougi5256]

Lol . What a flex

[@ELPAPIPIPON]

He almost burst out laughing when carrying the one, lmao let's gooooo

[@AV.Creative]

I love it dude! 😂

[@kingounetpizza]

I don't get that, could you explain it to me?

[@tomsriver2838]

​@@kingounetpizza me neither

[@kayurbach5182]

I just explained it in the other question above ☝🏽

[@tomsriver2838]

@kayurbach5182 you say "above" as if youtube shows us comments in the same order.

[@milohuikeshoven4411]

The vision pro tan line is sending me 🤣🤣

[@shamaralewis5359]

😂

[@volante56]

lmaoo

[@romelldawkins5515]

😂😂😂

[@dannymartial7997]

That’s just how some black people look. It’s not a tan line

[@pantheranegra2261]

Where is it sending you?

[@mufasatv2361]

carry the 1. !!!! on waveform pod people understand!!!

[@AV.Creative]

BINGGOOOOO

[@dazzledave]

Kindly explain it to the "not waveform" people 😢

[@AV.Creative]

@@dazzledave so they have trivia questions at the end of every episode and there's a running joke where, since andrew is almost always losing, when they're counting up the points they have to "carry the one" and count his points bc theres so few of them hope that helps 😁

[@RichardMills1987]

carry the one

[@deRykcihC]

andrew reference there 😂

[@probablynot7072]

Sadly He doesn’t like to be carried…

[@AV.Creative]

hes carrying zero rn tho lol

[@fredricklee]

Remember him as a kid and he has come a long way. Well done Marques and well wishes on continued journey.

[@1fourteen]

I'm just glad to be around when this legend is simply doing his thing. Not many realize how he's influenced us, but he'll go down in history. Absolute legend and legend in the making

[@starkid20]

Our boy has come a long way. So proud.

[@pantheranegra2261]

Pause

[@gabrielgrassmayrtoo]

I love how his things are literally made custom or designed by/for him

[@Philip_Taylor]

As opposed to what, metaphorically designed for him? What about symbolically?

[@zizu5585]

@@Philip_Taylor "literally" is being used here to add weight and importance to the context. this way of using the word is common on the internet nowadays. understand the connotation. hope this helped :)

[@ShekharKumar-jh3uc]

​@@Philip_Taylordamn you're a hater

[@whateverwavy]

this really did feel like a MKBDH+ video. even his outro felt like one of his regular videos. gotta love this dude fr

[@kyda__]

I’ve watched this guys vids for a decade now. Legend.

[@nasirsuleiman2147]

Sooooo Marquez has made it to GQ, Shows how far he's come. Congrats

[@JacobLara]

Marques has now surpassed GQ

[@quxncy9492]

I've been watching this guys videos since I was in grade 9, crazy seeing all the progress and growth.

[@AV.Creative]

[@tomtesting99]

[@GeoffreySorensen]

​@@tomtesting99They say it all the time when reading Andrew's score.

[@AV.Creative]

@@GeoffreySorensen yea do you remember was the last time u listened was? bc its been the last couple of months I feel like

[@jordantaylor3d]

"Carry the 1..." - Nice shoutout to Waveform!

[@tomtesting99]

[@malungayesemusic]

Such a Tech Guru! We love it 💓

[@zptaco]

His style is so unique you feel like you're watching an mkbhd video

[@LunaMail]

Ultimate Frisbee is such an epic sport! Cool to see Marques's *essentials* breakdown!

[@dalienplanet]

Finally, my dream has come true. I have always wanted to see you in one of these videos ❤

[@Chrischi4598]

The 16“ MacBook is amazing! I love mine too, it’s such a gamechanger laptop

[@TheDopamineEffect]

I am such a fan of Marques Mkbhd channel and the waveform podcast and the auto focus but to see him on GQ is just a treat yo 🤭

[@ilpoheikkila4773]

I loved this video although I already knew everything since I watch every MKBHD video and have been doing so for years.

[@danslater3499]

I have a pair of the M251.1s. Gotta say they're one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. Bravo Marques. Makes me want the original M251, as I love the white midsole on those!

[@0xmorfu]

One thing I can't live without is Marques.

[@danielfowler7986]

[@JeremyLeech]

Love 64Audio! I have a custom 6 driver set I bought back in 2013. Love them!

[@FUZZCHANNELMY]

The real MKBHD, not that MKB4K or MKB8K. Thank you GQ 🙃

[@user-fp3ze6du2n]

Absolutely fantastic content!

[@joshuaholke]

8:08 wow, so I'm not the only one who just assumed you wear watches on your dominant hand 😂

I’m Such a fan! His videos are unmatched!

[@memmustafa18]

Having a Red as his essential is CRAZY. My dream camera

Made me happy to see this video when i opened my KZbin screen 🔥

[@CPTOPE]

[@Nangoncrazy]

Loved that AD.

[@bruceharrison884]

The fact that his first essential is the microphone is classic Marques

[@nathanfife2890]

Watching him count the years he's played ultimate frisbee and getting podcast trivia flashbacks. "Carry the one..."

[@ojishehe]

I have WAITED for this!!

[@TheMoreEstates]

Great for The KZbin Culture and Marques Brownlee 🎉

My favorite OG KZbinr. ❤🏆

[@adam.foster]

Great video! I worried when the hand lotion came out what was to follow 😂

[@aldenhill]

Carry the 1!

[@nauyanelias]

No but that color grade edit when he was talking about the Camera was insane. Its the little things

[@bkhleung]

"Carry the 1"😂😂😂

[@jackhamm7745]

I remember watching him when he was just a wee lad. Cool to see this.

[@myllesmartin9666]

Haha and the 0:12 mark when he says “This one is about ME today” and he glances directly at the large microphone.

[@kenkioqqo]

A living legend!

Loving his iPhone collab!

[@Aveezy94]

weatherproof shoes hard🔥
