Chapters
Who would win in a race, the fastest man in the world or the fastest robot in the world? Go! We are testing the most advanced robots ever made against the most elite humans, like the world's best driver against an AI robot who can push a race car past the laws of physics, or the best human athletes against robots who could literally replace them, and so much more, all to find out, are the days of the human species numbered? The answer may surprise you. All starting with the strongest man in the world versus this mech. That's massive. This robot is 50 times stronger than the average human could ever dream of being, leaving us and the fate of humanity all in the willpower of this one man. He's going to be going head-to-head against this giant robot mech. Oh, that is terrifying. The challenge is simple. You'll have to flip these 3 cars and pull that bus off those other their cars before this mech does. If not, humanity is off to a bad start in this video. I have to win. And us humans need you to. 3, 2, 1, go! Oh my gosh, he already flipped a car! But here comes the mech. The mech flips the first car. Thor is on to the second car. Come on! Wait, oh my gosh, come on! Oh no, the robot's catching up. The second car has been flipped. For humanity! Bro, what are you doing? Flip the car! Oh, oh, he's struggling. Oh, he flipped all the cars. Now the hardest part. Does he get the bus first pull? He's slipping. For humanity! Oh, he's rocking it. Oh, Thor is catching up. The robot's about to flip his last part. Oh, he just flipped the third car. It's a tight game. When the robot gets those tires, it's game over. This mech's probably gonna pull it down first try. I wouldn't let humanity down here, Thor. We're all counting on you. The robot's It's not going to struggle with this rope. It's latching onto the tires. It's latched on. The robot's about to win. Oh no. This is probably your last pull, Thor. Give it everything you got. Come on. No. You did it. Thor human. On behalf of all the humans, here is a gold medal. Thank you. Let's go. Humans 1, robot 0. Meaning for now, humans are not obsolete. But we still have 6 more clashes to find out if robots will rise above us in the end. So let's head to the next showdown featuring the fastest pitching robot on the planet. Yo! Oh yeah, that is creepy. I get that a lot. Neo is a humanoid robot who imitates the actions of its human controller, but not too far into the near future, this android will be capable of complete self-operation. And this robot is going to be going against former Giants player Eric Smith. How's it doing? You don't have a chance, my man. I'm gonna take you down. I'll believe it when I see it. Did you just do a mic drop on me just now? Would you believe me if I told you he can pitch 150 miles an hour? 150? That's fast. For context, the fastest Eric could have ever been pitched to by a human would only be the record-holding 105 miles an hour. So in order to hit 150, Neo brought his very own cannon to launch the ball. Neo is going to be manning this cannon. Or I guess roboting this cannon. I don't know. This is throwing off everything I know as a human. Eric, if you can hit a home run off of one of the 10 pitches Neo fires your way, then you'll give the humans a 2-0 lead. Let's go, baby, for humans. All right. Let's do this. Humanity is counting on you, Eric. I'm ready. Do it for mankind. And to all you baseball players out there, you better hope Eric wins because if not, your hope of ever going pro could be brutalized by this machine. Was that the fastest pitch you've ever seen? Yes, by a long shot! What is that? Well, here comes 9 more, so good luck. On you, Neo! Oh my God, here we go. I can't hit that, dude. He's like mocking you. All right, let it rip! Oh, why is it so fast? 7 more to go. Here it comes, here it comes. Oh, that's gas! Yo, it's Neo celebrating over there? Robots are gonna win. Yo, he hit a Fortnite emote on him. I don't like Neo. I hate him. You're trash. Stop doing the emote on me. I can feel the wind off of it. It's getting nastier every time. Oh, he almost hit Neo. Eric, you hit the ball, but remember, you need a home run to win. I got this. Neo, you're going down, machine. Try to hit this, clown. Humans are not obsolete. Do it for mankind. Eric, you have 4 pitches left. Do you think you got this? Better believe for humans. Believe. Oh, no. Oh, no. Get out. Get out. Get out. Yeah! I don't like humans. Let's go! He did it! 150 miles an hour. Meaning this is one of the fastest pitches a human being has ever hit. Neil, can you crown the human with this $10,000 golden medal? No, no, no. You didn't win. This is the worst moment of my life. Bro, you literally made the robot rage quit. But that's another point for humanity, giving the humans a 2-0 lead. So let's see if the robots can kick their way back into this because we brought out Adam, who is one of the most insanely accurate football kickers in the entire world, going up against the most powerful football kicking robot. I was going to see who could kick further, you or the robot, but— Kick it! Yeah. Yeah. So instead, we're going to do an accuracy challenge. And the rules couldn't be simpler. First one to kick the ball and hit the target wins. Adam, do it for humanity. All right, let's see it. For humanity. You didn't even make it in the field goal. Oh, boy. We're not off to a good start here. That's awkward. That's awkward. It's fine. We know this robot can kick far, but can it kick more accurately than a human? Oh. That was so close. Humanity lives to see another day. Any last words? None. Is that it? Oh! Adam, have you ever thought about not missing? Everybody misses. Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh! So whenever you're ready, Adam. This might be your last chance. You think? I really do think it is. Well, let's actually put it between the posts, huh? Yeah. That's, uh— Dude! Adam, you might be causing the downfall of the human race right now. It's not looking so hot for Adam, bro. 3, 2, 1, fire! Wow. Oh, that's tough, man. Team Robots just scored a point. Any last words you want to say to that robot? No, it's not going to say anything back. Well, this next robot can't talk either, but it can play some basketball because up next we have 4-time NBA champion Manu Ginóbili going up against the most elite basketball robot in the world. You nervous? Very intimidating. Whoever hits these 2 basketball shots first will win this challenge. Oh, yeah. And the second hoop is covered in razor-sharp nails. All right, let's do it. Okay. For humanity. Come on, my old friend. Help me out here. Let's see it. There you go. That's it. Let's go. Let's go. Let's see if the robot can make this shot too. That big hand— Boo! —is so intimidating. Boo! Go. There it is. Whoa! That is nothing but net. This thing's a monster. While Manu defends humanity against the machines, I want to tell you about our new Beast Labs hybrids. You can create literally millions of variations by mixing and matching them. You should give up, man. You hear that? All right, here we go. We got this. Oh, Manu just missed that shot. But make sure you don't miss picking up MrBeast Labs hybrids, the perfect Christmas gift. Every pack has different rarities like this Hyperchrome limited edition Panther. So go and try to collect them. If he makes this one, that's how it's going to win, man. Oh my gosh. Oh, a miss! Let's go! If you want to create your own MrBeast Slime Hybrid, go to any one of these retailers right here. Manu, for the love of God, hit this shot. Here we go again. You got this. Oh, that's— that looks good. Oh, give me one try. Give me one try. Here we go. If he makes this shot, you officially lose. Miss! Oh no, the robot just won! The robots are You're officially tied with humans. I'm sorry, Antonio. Good job, man. Now that this series is all tied up, let's see which species will drive their way back to a lead. This next challenge is personally my favorite. I got one of the fastest drivers on the planet, and he'll be going up against a car that literally drives itself. But the robot isn't in the driver's seat. It's back here. This is the AI brain of the car, which in a race can react faster than any human alive, making it the fastest unmanned car on the planet. I've never seen anything like this before. George and the AI will be racing in the same model Mercedes. Let's do it. Here we go. The AI car is up first. 3, 2, 1, go! Oh, fu— I can't believe nobody's in that thing. There you go, around the first turn good. Second turn good. Whoa. Oh, that precision. I was not expecting this. So far it's been a minute and 1 second. Wait, look how fast it's hitting these turns. The lap time is at 1:40 now. Anything around 2 minutes is like a really good lap time on this track. Will he get sub-2 minutes? Here it comes. The AI car has finished its lap. What is it? 2:01. 2 minutes and 1 second is the time to beat. This is your car, the same exact model as the AI drove. It looks fast. Let's get in. Remember, George, the fate of humanity could rest on this race. All right, you ready for this, man? 3, 2, 1, go! Who is better? Man versus robot. Let's go! Go, go, George Russell! I run the corner flawlessly. Holy crap. Oh, car was drifting there. Oh, you can hear it roar. Oh, we're going in deep. We're on some gravel. At this point, I was getting pretty scared. Oh my gosh, you're going 220 kilometers an hour. Let's show the AI who's boss. Humans aren't obsolete yet. Not under my watch. George Russell, you can do it. Oh, I hear a lot of screeching. Is that bad? That's not what we He's okay. You're currently 2 seconds behind where the AI car was at this point in the race. This is crazy. Oh, the bad corner. Ah, come on. Do it for humanity. You can recover. You got this. 10 seconds. Come on. You got this, Thor. You're catching up. You're catching up. I did it. You did it. Come on. Oh my gosh. Woo! Oh, what a victory. He beat the robot. Congratulations. You have beaten the AI. Thank you. You did it for humanity. Thank you. Let's see if the humans win the next one, because if we do, 2, then the humans will win this series. But if the robots win, then everything comes down to our final race with no lives. So for this challenge, we have Grant Horvath, who is basically the golden boy for YouTube golf, versus Rob OT, the most precise golf robot in the world. You're going down, pretty boy. I don't like that it talks. On this course are 5 targets increasing in distance. The first player to hit 3 targets wins a point for their team. You really think you can beat the most precise golfing You think you can beat the robot in the hole? I don't know. It's going to be really tricky. There is no competition. We're going to send Grant back to the frat house. Oh, wow. All right. Wow, it's getting personal up in here. All right, first shot, baby. Here we go, Chandler. Oh. Oh, yeah! Oh! Bro, you did it! Let's go! What a goal! Let's go! Robot, your turn. Set it up, Majd. It's over. I build up the human's confidence. Just to tear it down. Watch this, Grant. Oh, that looks like butter. Oh, no! That right there is a point! Oh, no, dude. 1 to 1. 1 point for the robot. It's all over, pretty boy. What's your new strategy? Well, we're going to the 150, sticking with my lucky club. This is your chance. My goodness. Yikes. Lock in. All right. Let's go. Oh, no. Chandler. Chandler. That's right. That's right. Kaboom. We're down now. We're now going pretty far to 1. 175 yards. 175 yards. The wind's pumping. Grant, have you considered hitting the target? You have to tie it up here. No! Right. Well, I hope you packed your bags. This is the most nervous I've been so far. Oh, my gosh. No! Please, please, please. No! Oh! You hear that? That's it! Oh, Grant. All right, another win for Team Robot. Grant, anything to say? This one's gonna sting for a while. It's all tied up, and we are heading to our final showdown, meaning everything all comes down to this. Will us humans prove to the world that we are not replaceable? I don't like that. Or will robots turn the page stage of history and mark the fate of our future. Only one can win the battle, and it's time to answer the question: man or machine? Now the moment you've all been waiting for— Noah Lyles, the fastest man in the world, versus not just one but three robots, each increasing in speed. They will run a simple 50-meter dash. If Noah somehow manages to win against all three robots, he will score the tie-breaking point for humanity. But if even one robot beats him in a race, the robots get a point and us humans are obsolete. Up first is the Unitree G1, a robot so athletic it can balance, flip, and even fight. Let's roll. Let's get it. All right, you want me to hold your medals for you? Thank you, sir. Might be a little heavier than you think. Be careful. Oh, oh my God. Are these actual gold? All right, race number 1. Let's see if Noah can win all 3. Ready, set. Go, go, robot, run! Go, run! Dude, that's not even close. I can beat this robot, and I'm slow as heck. But these next two robots Noah is about to race are way faster. The robot's still running. Bro. No! OK. Better luck next time, humanity. Ha ha ha ha ho ho ho. But you lost. Better luck next time. Oh, it's dancing on him. Yo, I ain't going to take this. Up next is a genuine racing competitor, the Unitree AJ. H1, it won multiple medals at the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games, making it the fastest robot on two legs. So what's it like looking over there and not seeing another sprinter? I mean, isn't that how all my races go? Oh my God. All right, race number 2. It could all end here. H1, are you ready? Noah, are you ready? Let's go! Set! Go, robot, go! H1, go! Run! Oh my goodness. He's blowing the robot out of the water. Oh, it's not even close. He already beat you. He already beat you. I'm sorry, man. Good form, though. I had a feeling you would destroy H1. Uh, yeah. Which is why we brought some non-humanoid robots. Let's go to phase 3. This is Black Panther. The Panther, modeled after the cheetah. It can reach speeds over 22 miles an hour. This is just the fastest robot, period. What am I, racing dogs now? Are you ready to face the peak of robotic athleticism? Let's go! Humanity is resting in Noel Al's legs. All the competitors and all their efforts. Yeah! All their successes. Whoa! And disappointments. Down to this final race. For humanity! Ready, set, stop! Oh, the robot's fast! Go, Blaster, go! It's right behind you! Oh, oh, it's catching up! No, might lose! Whoa, hey, lowkey, that robot was a little scary. Come at Antonio Moniz wins! One day, robots will overtake us, but in 2025, humans still have an edge. Humanity is saved once again. Robots are not better than us, at least not yet.
