In this solo YouTube commentary, the creator reflects on the resurgence of commentary channels, mentioning MrBeast6000, LeafyIsHere, and Pyrocynical, and announces a tentative return to commentary content while continuing IRL videos. The core of the video is a critique of formal schooling, arguing that the majority of what is taught is irrelevant to real life. He cites absurd math problems (e.g., calculating the mass of the sun using apples) and history questions (e.g., Napoleon’s wife’s name) as examples of pointless curriculum. He admits a personal bias against learning, describing himself as disliking education and feeling that 99% of school material is useless. The monologue ends with a series of humorous, off‑beat life tips and reminders (e.g., don’t kill squirrels, unplug keyboards during storms, take out the trash for your mom). The tone is informal, sarcastic, and comedic, with a generally dismissive sentiment toward school but a light‑hearted, self‑aware attitude toward the video’s format.

MrBeast6000, oh, oh, oh. Wait, what? Beast is doing a commentary? So many of you guys can probably recall my video where I said commentaries are dead. But recently I've been watching a lot of LeafyIsHere and Pyrocynical, and both of them have gained over 100,000 subscribers in the last 30 days off of doing commentaries. So obviously commentaries are nowhere near dead. They're still thriving, and I kind of miss doing them. Having said that, no, I'm still gonna do IRL videos. I'm just gonna try it out and see how it goes. And anyways, enough of that, let's get into the topic. School is a waste of time. We spend the first 18 years of our life sitting at a desk learning pointless information, 99% of which we're never gonna use in life. Maybe I just have senioritis, but literally everything I'm learning right now feels like a bunch of useless information. The questions I'm getting in math are like, you have 2 green apples and a red apple, now calculate the mass of the sun. Like, they don't even make sense anymore to me, and I have no idea what I'm doing. And it wasn't always like this. You see, I actually used to be really good at math, but ever since they introduced the alphabet into math, I've had straight C's all throughout high school. Whenever the alphabet comes into math, it's just not my thing. And then there's history class, and I understand why history is a thing. You know, you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. I get that. But some of the questions I get asked in history are just ridiculous. I kid you not, I had a question on a history test that was, "What is Napoleon Bonaparte's wife's name?" Because, you know, knowing his wife's name is so important to my life! Th— it is stupid! Like, how is knowing his wife's name ever gonna help my life? Wh— why? Why is that necessary? And I've had so many questions like that in the past, it's just like, "Why do I need to know this? Like, wh— how is this ever gonna help me in life?" Now, I might be a little bit biased in my opinion because I really do hate learning. I've never enjoy learning. I just— I've always felt like this. I've always felt like it's pointless and useless, 99% of what we learn. So maybe I'm just a little bit biased, and you know, maybe everyone else doesn't feel this way, but I just— I really don't understand why we learn some of the things we learn in school. It just doesn't make sense to me. Anyways, guys, that's my opinion. Hopefully you guys enjoyed. Please let me know what your opinion is down below. And remember, don't kill squirrels, kill bears, unplug your keyboard in a lightning storm, and your monitor while you're at it. You can leave your computer plugged in though, it's a piece of crap. Crap, no one cares. Take out the trash for your mom, undo your dishwasher, remember to fill up on gas so you don't have to in the morning on your way to school and end up being late for school because that sucks. And make sure you hang up some paintings and, you know, put up, you know, pictures on the wall if your house needs a little bit of decorating. And I think that's about everything. That's the video.
