Some ConcernsReviewed June 2026

1Moderate Concern

6Minor Flags

This video features Mark Rober showing MrBeast a pneumatic slide device at CrunchLabs, where MrBeast expresses genuine fear of the 8-foot drop while Rober playfully teases him about it. The content includes mild teasing and some light crude language, but primarily demonstrates basic physics concepts in an entertaining way.

Content Breakdown · 7 Categories

Strong & Crude LanguageA little

Contains mild crude language with 'freaking' used as a euphemism for stronger profanity. This is relatively mild but technically qualifies as crude language substitution.

See evidence (1)

“You got your freaking video.”End of video

Bullying, Cruelty & DiscriminationA little

Contains mild elements of cruelty-as-entertainment where the host deliberately withholds reassuring information to watch MrBeast suffer for entertainment value. While not severe, this models finding amusement in someone's genuine distress.

“Now at this point, I could have put him at ease by telling him just how many five year olds had already made the jump. But then again, watching him suffer was way more fun.”Middle to end of video

“Bro, I hate this.”

Hidden Advertising & Sponsored ContentA little

The video takes place at 'CrunchLabs' which is described as the host's 'secret lair.' This appears to be promotional content for the host's business/brand without explicit disclosure that this is advertising. The entire premise serves as a tour/showcase of the facility.

“It all started when I gave him a tour of my secret lair CrunchLabs.”Beginning of video

“And after I showed him what I call the fireman's piston”

Parasocial & Emotional ManipulationA little

Minor parasocial element present through the casual 'Bro' language and the framing of creating content specifically for viewer entertainment ('You got your freaking video'), but not extensively manipulative.

See evidence (2)

“You got your freaking video.”End of video

“Bro, I hate this.”

Toxic Behavior ModelingSome

Models finding entertainment in someone else's genuine fear and discomfort. The host explicitly states he withheld reassuring information because 'watching him suffer was way more fun.' This frames cruelty-as-comedy and could normalize enjoying others' distress.

“Now at this point, I could have put him at ease by telling him just how many five year olds had already made the jump. But then again, watching him suffer was way more fun.”Middle section of video

“Turns out the dude who spent 50 hours buried alive was wimping out over an 8 ft drop.”

Dangerous Internet ChallengesA little

While the activity is presented as safe with engineering controls, there's a minor concern about normalizing height-based challenges. However, the emphasis on physics and safety mechanisms mitigates this significantly. The comparison to five-year-olds doing it could potentially encourage imitation.

Low-Quality, Extreme & Stunt ContentA little

Contains elements of stunt-driven content designed for shock value and entertainment. The premise is built around pushing someone to confront their fear for viewer entertainment, which fits the pattern of extreme/stunt content.

“Today, I helped Mr Beast conquer his fear of heights.”Throughout video

“Turns out the dude who spent 50 hours buried alive was wimping out over an 8 ft drop.”

What Parents Need to Know

This video contains playful teasing that borders on mild bullying as the host enjoys watching his friend's discomfort with heights. There's occasional mild language ("freaking") and the overall tone models finding entertainment in someone else's fear, though it's presented in a lighthearted context between friends. The physics demonstration itself is educational, showing how air pressure creates resistance, but the social dynamics may warrant discussion about respecting others' boundaries and fears.

Talk to Your Kids About

1How do you think MrBeast felt when Mark kept teasing him about being scared? Is it okay to laugh at someone's fears, even if you're friends?
2What would you do if a friend was scared to try something? How can we support people while still encouraging them to face challenges?
3The video shows how air pressure slows down the fall - can you think of other places where we use air or friction to slow things down safely?
4When is teasing just fun between friends, and when does it cross a line into being mean?

Questions fréquentes

Is this video appropriate for young children who are scared of heights?

This video might actually reinforce fear of heights rather than help with it, as it shows an adult expressing genuine fear and being teased about it. If your child already has height anxiety, the teasing dynamic and focus on fear might not be the best content. Consider watching together so you can discuss healthy ways to face fears.

Does this video teach real science or is it just entertainment?

The video does include a legitimate physics explanation of how pneumatic resistance works to create a safe landing, which is educational. However, the science content is brief and secondary to the entertainment value of watching MrBeast's discomfort. It's more entertainment with a science element than a true educational video.

Is the teasing in this video mean-spirited or just friendly joking?

The teasing falls into a gray area - it's between friends who likely have an established dynamic, but the host explicitly says "watching him suffer was way more fun" and continues despite clear discomfort. This models finding entertainment in someone's distress, which may not be the best example for children learning about empathy and boundaries.

What age can safely understand the difference between friendly teasing and bullying here?

Children around 8-10 years old are typically developing the social-emotional skills to understand context and nuance in peer relationships. Younger children may struggle to distinguish between acceptable teasing among close friends versus behavior that crosses boundaries. Parental guidance is recommended to help interpret the social dynamics.

Are there any safety concerns with kids trying to recreate this?

The pneumatic device shown is a specialized piece of equipment at a professional facility, not something children should attempt to recreate. While the video doesn't explicitly encourage imitation, curious kids might be interested in heights or slides, so it's worth discussing that this equipment was designed by engineers with safety features.

Does this video promote CrunchLabs products or services?

Yes, the video takes place at CrunchLabs (Mark Rober's company) and serves as indirect promotion by showcasing the facility. While not a direct sales pitch, it functions as branded content that raises awareness of the company in an entertaining format.
