Let's get Markiplier to see this vid!!

[@MarkoHR]

PenguinoBeach thats what im thinking

[@thegrayowl1557]

He probably has already.

[@greanbean2075]

Alexaintcool HE IS!?!?

[@Huniebun_]

Radically fresh sans My exact reaction when I realized it a few months ago. XD

[@zakerzeljr796]

PenguinoBeach yes lets do MARKIPLIER see this vídeo

[@ChugadaCheeseGaming]

Mark is a primary source of inspiration for me. He's such a great guy. Does so much for charities. His commentaries are always on point. I hope he never stops

[@oldcraftycat]

He’s human. And sadly humans will eventually die.

[@musicenthusiast9801]

True Slav nice and you just baited someone to kill themselves, Congratulations, humanity really has come a long way.

[@minxtea4753]

True Slav You just told Markiplier to kill himself and you can get fined for that and if Markiplier acted on that, you would be charged with manslaughter.

[@PengyDraws]

Cyrinyak He did charity work before he was a KZbinr.

[@scoutnova9213]

Cyrinyak you know its people like you that have sent this fucking world to hell

[@hweesuan]

we're gonna miss you at game theory, xoxo.

[@angelcordoba4020]

Rip

[@Blueflag04]

at least more people can know about him

[@datguyuno98]

God I remember finding Mark mid 2013 and from that point on he was kind of a role model to me, and I'm ficken 19. It's been amazing to see him grow so much while almost never changing who he is and to this day his 1 million subscriber video makes me tear up.

[@earthcolours_]

This will be good. He's been on KZbin for like forever!!

[@flyboy2099]

That Brown Guy not... really...

[@grammarpoliceunita2745]

[@sinkdishes]

LEGO Portal yessss

[@kraken8255]

Man markiplier is lucky wish I had started my channle sooner also he didn't upload every video because he still had alot of vlog videos and mad mad game he played with someone and including couple missing skyrim videos too

[@issabelbabikova7765]

Congratulations to Mark (also jack and pewds) to being himself(themselves) and following their dreams and working hard to connect with their fans and making sure they feel special and recognized. They work hard to keep us happy and let's just say I hope they know how happy they make us everyday! Like if u agree!

[@danananangooo]

I feel like FootofaFerret's character looks like a Steven Universe character in a way EDIT: Wow 1k likes 😳

[@tonyd8349]

DanScott I think it's supposed to

[@hannahforsyth4267]

DanScott IKR ITS SO CUTE I LOVE THE STEVEN UNIVERSE ART STYLE

[@odralix1161]

Indeed it has a rather similar art style to it. Though I see some differences which I feel make the SU element more of an inspiration than an imitation.

[@alleynoonan6285]

DanScott it's the nose

[@nguyenten6877]

Yeah me to

[@samuelkokoska6869]

Friend: Hey dude do you know (insert youtuber name here) Me: Just a second *Searches (insert youtuber name here) brief history* *watches video* Me: Yeah dude Friend: So did you see his latest video Me: Dammit

[@joebop6849]

There's only one criticism I have of this video: the time he spent with Cyndago. Now, I don't know if you purposely steer away from heavy topics or not as I don't watch this channel regularly, so if that's the case, then this comment serves virtually no purpose. This comment is also pointless if you're trying not to bring up the stuff between Mark and Ryan & Matt. I understand if that's the case. I'm not saying to do a video on Cyndago, but I was wondering if you'd at least mention this channel as Mark has done a fair amount of collaborations with them back when they made videos. Heck, everyone from September 2015 remembers how depressing a time that was when we learned about Daniel & the hiatus that took place. Call me "triggered", but I feel that glossing over those early years that Mark & Cyndago worked together makes this brief history a little empty. I don't know if you expected a comment like this or not, but you can pretty much tell that those were my favorite times when I used to watch Markiplier. Just my little bias, nothing crazy.

[@majestikarp9491]

FINALLY a SomeThingElseYT Brief history!

[@asherketchup7013]

Lol

[@crashbandicoot9898]

FootofaFerret I Love your voice :D

[@user-xn5bf6ew5u]

I love *him* *cough cough*

[@leannahackenberg1280]

I remember being in a terrible spot when I first started watching his videos, he really was so kind and awesome to listen too. I'm glad I recently got back into him because it's like taking a blast to the past and remembering the good things among the bad

[@lizzie31]

Such a brilliant, genuine overview of Mark, not only in what he's achieved but also in the person he is and how he has continued to be such a lifechanging force in this world since he started KZbin. Thank you so much!!!

[@ayaonora]

i love that you give the context of time periods by noting albums that came out that year. great way to gauge how long ago these all happened and what i was doing at the time

[@grayskyee]

Poor Eef, he's never gonna live down that old intro

[@likehat2729]

You guys want to know what makes Mark so great (in my opinion) it's that he doesn't have any scandals, no controversy, nothing. That's why everyone loves him. Plus he donates to charity!

[@datguyuno98]

Fun fact: mark's recommended page on KZbin, shows Game Theory, GTLive, and FootOfAFerret episodes!! I have seen so. SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF!

[@That_Alex]

Since you've been doing a lot of youtuber brief histories i would love to see one centered around natewantstobattle. Make it happen ^^

[@vallahdsacretor4839]

Before I point this out, I'd like to note that I do love Markiplier and think he is a great guy. That said, there was a point where he did start slipping into the subscriber race trap. It was at the 750K to 1M subscriber area, where he saw how fast he was growing and started making videos he thought that his viewers wanted to see and not what he wanted to make. Most notably of that time frame was him playing multiple fan games, with one giving him a brick wall retrospective on his entire youtube career, a compilation of his milestones edited together into a message of thanks. Something that, I think, is one of the most notable times he's gotten emotional and marked the start of him not only making promises, but actively trying to fulfill those promises to the best of his ability. Edit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX_XnJ6if5Vof6s This Fan Game specifically was the brick wall. The message starts at 38:37 for those who want to see it.

[@triple3slash5]

Watching this really makes me glad to see people advance and evolve. Mark has went through so much but he made the world a better place simply by being himself and persevering through the hardships. But he did it. He deserves all he got and he got all that he deserves.

[@daamric]

3:35 that’s an amazing impression!!

[@mysticalmind3303]

I have been with markimoo since the very beginning, and it's been a fun ride so far, and I think it's not going to end anytime soon. Mark has been an amazing inspiration. He basically was the only person on this planet who cared about me. I have never met him in person, but I feel like he's my best friend.

[@No-zc8eg]

Can you do a brief history of Thomas Sanders? PLS

[@pickaxleplushgaming3891]

Corndog Corny PLEASE!

[@theinsaneduckturtle4203]

+footofafarret THANK YOU! This is awesome! I love this. Mark, along side Jack and Felix, has changed so many lives. His history may have been brief but it was good. You have no idea how long I wanted to see one of these for Mark. Again, thank you and keep up the good work.

[@nativecoko]

0:07 killed me

[@MyXxassassinxx]

As one of marks original subscribers it’s awesome seeing the videos that are mentioned and knowing exactly which one he’s talking about and naming them just by the backdrop and setting. It’s really awesome that mark was able to go from such a small following to where he is now

[@blakelowe1300]

You didn’t mention that he’s the king of squirrels.

[@xXLiveAndLearn759Xx]

I can't get over the script-writing for all of the Brief History videos. It's clear, respectful, fun, and thorough. Thank you for your videos! And best of luck with this new chapter of saying goodbye to the Theorists ;)

[@PresidentPixel]

I probably would have never started a channel if it wasn't for Markiplier, I may not become the biggest youtuber but I still have a blast doing it

[@sandpapermoney]

I just stumbled upon this channel and I've watched a couple of videos already. I must say I love how well spoken you are and how you speak so positively of every person you do a history video on. It's refreshing to see that you don't speak out of hate and don't use the youtuber's past drama as a means to get more views. I will be subscribing!

[@pohenchant571]

Came here cuz u leaving GT but still wanna see you:)

[@MarkoHR]

PoH Enchant Lol hes not leaving hes only stopping the Brief history on Game Theorists, he will be making more videos

[@jackklayman5041]

How about a Brief History of Seananners? aka Adam Montoya: One of the first big youtube gamers that is still growing even now. He pretty much caused the surge in popularity of minecraft and is still a symbol of funny gameplay today along with sark and their whole branch of youtube gamers

[@superscoobers5569]

Yay Mark is is a video!!!

[@hugonobody3352]

He has become a video!

[@dutawe]

[@poloauz3446]

*T H I S I S G O L D*

[@magesticmoron1013]

He's like the main character in "my KZbin academia" he just wants to be the best.

[@maks_____]

cool video! It's just wierd that you didn't mention Warfstache a single time.

[@Rizahawk]

Watching this was amazing, I discovered Markiplier in my recommended videos when he only had 72,000 subscribers. It was his very first Amnesia let's play. I think it was 2012, because it was my very first semester of college. It's impressive to see how much he's grown since then! I've graduated and I'm still a fan.

[@deecats]

Request: a history of jacksfilms Edit: he already did that

[@bumpycat3698]

That's actually a good idea.

[@viridian8325]

Alexander Kilogramilton he already did it

[@deecats]

Sniping Spoon thanks for telling me

[@billy999mays9]

Good luck on being on YIAY :3

[@AlterWolfMedia]

Markiplier is a pure soul who is too good for this world. We are blessed to have him.

[@nathanielbrendan3870]

I'm glad to be his subscriber since 2012. Can't believe how long it has been and how big the channel has grown.

[@Roma-kp4qg]

"THAT'S RIGHT" Matt's having an effect on you +footofaferret

[@hhasyimah]

I enjoy these videos a lot, maybe because they’re fast paced or maybe it’s because of your enjoyable tone of voice but either way I’m not gonna lie how I’m binging every single video of yours now 😂

[@DaksDominoes]

You should honestly do a brief history of hevesh5. She is the only domino building/domino artist channel to surpass 1,000,000 subscribers

[@hypo2104]

Ok

[@usernametaken4023]

...And that's the story of why I love Markiplier! *and footofaferret obviously

[@johnmoore6048]

Ow, my finger

[@AKA253]

I love how it gets kinda hard to pick out bad things about Mark. He's so generous and dedicated to not only his channel but to his friends and community. Even when something DOES seem to go wrong, Mark is quick to do his best to make it right, whether it be fixing the issue or apologizing and owning up to it. That's why it's so cool to see Quick Histories like Mark's, where we get to see upward progress of a now "famous" person instead of a reality TV show style Drama Alert video.

[@sonic-pi6rc]

Mark then:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH MARK NOW:lets start a cult

[@furgusuned15650]

I am so glad that you have decided to focus on your personal channel again

[@grunsoul50]

FNAF is horrendous now, but it is still amazing when Mark plays it :D

[@Flevir]

Goddamn Mark inspires me. That man deserves every little bit of love and community he has.

[@keeganmoore99]

Could you do 'A Brief History of Chuggaaconroy'? Please?

[@DaBOOMKid]

Snek YES YES YES

[@TomboyGirlfriend]

I had a friend who asked me why I loved Markiplier so much. Honestly I didn't know where to start. This video helps but it's better to experience him for yourself

[@petergermain8443]

Love the quality of these videos!! Can you please do a brief history of the Game Grumps?

[@AnesteyGames]

I remember when he had 10k subs. I remember screaming to my mom years ago when he hit one million subscribers 😭💜 just the other day we were talking and mom told me she remembered me being so excited for him. I remember it all. This is the one youtuber I have stuck with for years.

[@Redrum420CF]

how can you do a history video of markiplier without mentioning Cyndago or bob and wade?

[@ooofyikes4588]

It is true that Mark owes so much of his channel growth to FNAF and I feel that's why he continues to play clones and stick by loyalty to the game series. But not only that, he is loyal and caring towards his subscribers and friends and truly appreciates them all, and that to me is what makes him amazing 🙂

[@traviskrawiec9751]

[@druidrules5130]

Please do Nigahiga he has been on KZbin since the very beginning and has +20,000,000 subs

[@FarikoWishless]

"A story he told before, and I don't feel I have the right to tell myself" I'm impressed And glad to hear that. So many would exploit his story for more views and add a messed up title for attention. I salute your brand of morals sir.

Good job on a great video man . It's great to see someone follow their dreams like markiplier matpat and even you . Cheers for entertaining everyone here and everyone on the game theorists . You might be stopping with those guys but when you upload a new video over 200,000 people are proud to see your face in the subscription colon . It's fantastic to see you moving on to peruse what you want to do . THANKS !!!
