I'm about
to put way too much effort into this video. So please watch it.
We've managed to get loads of these, But we don't have any of these.
And I've been trying to get one of these for a very long time and today FINALLY I have some good news!
So six months ago
We applied for the world record for the most YouTube Play buttons owned by an individual.
And they REJECTED ME! They were like Jack.
No, that's too difficult to measure because in theory someone could just buy loads of these or whatever. We're not interested
We'll take your six pound application fee and be on our way
But that did not stop me because I digged back into my pockets pulled out another six pound, which if you don't know
Is how much it costs for a standard guinness world record application you can pay six pounds and they'll get back to you in
Three months or you can pay 500 pounds and they'll get back to you within five working days letting you know whether your application
Has been accepted or denied. We're not paying 500 quid just to get tonight
So that's why we're in it for the long haul and we've waited three months for this
So three months ago. I changed my phrasing slightly and I decided to apply for most youtube channels with over 100 000 subscribers owned
By an individual and guess what?
They accepted my application
But hang on hang on hang on that does not mean that I am now a guinness world record holder
No, all it means is that I can apply to be a guinness world record holder. They've given me a set of very specific
And very difficult guidelines that i'm very stressed about but we're going to be attempting to get started on those guidelines in this video
So if you're excited for this journey to get a world record
Please do show your support by leaving a like and if you haven't already do subscribe as well
So if you don't know i've been making youtube videos for over 10 years and we have gathered a lot of youtube channels
Some of them are serious and some of them are complete jokes, but more or less all of them have over 100 thousand subscribers
So here we go. This guinness world record doesn't currently exist. I came to guinness asking them to turn this into a real thing
So when guinness create a new world record application, they're the ones that come up with the record number rather than me
So in order to get this world record, I need eight youtube channels with a hundred thousand subscribers
Do we have it youtube channels with a hundred thousand subscribers? No, no. No, we don't actually so that's our first problem and that's why
And that's why i'm launching a new youtube
Channel, um, let's make the youtube channel right now
I've not decided what it's gonna be called or what content it's gonna upload just yet, but we'll we'll work that out
Oh my god. Can it be a hundred characters long? All right. Shall we make this youtube channel?
As long as it possibly can why not jack's epic
Youtube channel. Oh my god. No, where can it be this long? Jack's epic youtube channel full of fun times and more
so make
sure, we're only halfway to like and
Subscribe
Peace
out
Guys, can you imagine what this would look like on a play button? We've got 84 characters left. Okay in that case, by the way
Hello, rick 420 x there we go. 100 out of 100
So if you don't know who rick is he's actually the guy from the awards company that packs most of the play buttons
two play buttons normally come with a little card like this that just says that it was
Inspected and packaged with great care by rick. I think it'd be nice to say hello to the little fella
No way is this gonna turn into an actual channel create. Oh my god
Oh, wow, why?
Why'd you say it could be 100 characters then well now what am I meant to do?
Ah, let's try just 50 characters jack's epic youtube channel full of fun times and fun
Hi rick create go on go on go on go on. Oh my god. There it is. It's worked
Okay, jack's epic youtube channel full of fun times and fun. Hi rick x is in the description
So please subscribe to this channel if we can get it to 100 000 subscribers
We will have enough youtube channels to get a guinness world record
So if you want to participate in this challenge, please please subscribe. I am going to upload videos on today
I just haven't quite worked out what it'll be just yet, but there will be stuff. I can't believe it look at it
the title's so long that
That the button actually covers the rest of the name. I just want that on a play button. They look amazing. Okay
Okay, it's time to take a look at the guidelines that guinness have set up
So as well as the record number being eight guinness have also created five very stressful guidelines guideline
Number one all channels must be owned and operated by the same individual
No other person may feature prominently in any of the channels, okay?
So this is where a few other competing youtube channels
Potentially don't qualify for this record because it's been brought to my attention that there are lots of youtubers
That have got lots of youtube channels linus tech tips
For example, they're a massive youtube channel with 11 million subscribers
And they've got a lot of extra youtube channels that they work on but if you take a look at their thumbnails
There are lots of different people in these thumbnails, although this company was started by one person
I don't think they'd qualify for the record because they're not one singular individual
They're a bunch of different people now captain sparkles
however
I'd say definitely qualifies as an individual when you take a look at his other channels because it is more or less just him in
All of the different videos, but he doesn't quite have enough channels currently with 100k now i'm not saying that
Jordan, or any other big youtuber couldn't get this world record because there are a lot of people for example if mr
Beast put a link to 50 channels in his description and said subscribe to them
He'd easily be able to get this world record before me but we're the underdog and we're trying to do it before anyone else does
Just to get the record. I don't mind if someone beats me after i've got the record
But I want to be a record holder for at least some point in history
So then I can have one of the certificates to put it on my wall
Have you subscribed to jack's epic channel of fun times and fun? Hello rick kiss yet, please
The link's in the description now
There is one youtube channel out there with 60 times more subscribers than me on their main channel
And they have a lot of youtube channels and they are a six-year-old girl from russia
Like nastya, she's a russian kid with 59 million subscribers
We can't compete with that and she's got a bunch of other youtube channels
Which is basically just the same videos but translated into different languages. I think and each channel has got like 10 million plus
Subscribers that six-year-old girl holds the record for the most diamond play buttons owned by an individual
It's absolutely mental. But obviously the question is does she count as an individual?
She does feature prominently in her videos
But her family also feature probably in her videos, I assume with how many channels they've got
And the fact that their channels convert into different languages
They must have a ginormous team of people like nastjet has got to be a company at this point
So I don't know if they qualify or not
Let's just try and get this world record ourselves subscribe to my new channel in the description
Please now back to myself. The first guideline is all channels must be owned and operated by the same individual
No other person may feature prominently in any of my channels
So originally I was going to use ej suff for my world record
This is the channel where I did videos eight years ago, but all of the videos were done with my friend ellie
in fact
The channel is called ej saf because her name
Was ellie jane and she features prominently in every video?
So I don't think this can be counted as one of my individual channels side note
It would be nice to get it 200k
Maybe we could get back in touch with ellie for the first time in like six years
And I could send her a play button. So that'll be in the description
But anyway back to the guinness world record guideline number two, the channels must have been launched by the claimant
It is not permitted for any of the channels to have been taken over for the purposes of achieving this record
So to be fair back to ej saf at least the one that made the youtube channel originally, so it's definitely disqualified
So that's why we need jack's epic youtube channel full of fun times and fun hirik kiss guideline number three
This record is for individuals only groups businesses. Etc. Will not be eligible
So that's why
Five minute crafts that ginormous youtube channel who have this many play buttons because they have this many channels with over 100 000 subscribers
That's why I potentially qualify and they don't because they're a massive business where we're just one guy
Yes, we have editors and my girlfriend becky helps me out with videos, but for the most part, it's mainly just me
I'm, the one that actually uploads and does the title and thumbnails for all of the videos
I'm, the one that features in every single video, even if I have other people in my videos every so often
I'm, the one that's in every single one guaranteed guideline number four
Each channel must have a minimum of five videos all with a minimum of fifty thousand views
This is where once again things get more complicated for us
So jackson live we've uploaded thousands of videos on there over the last seven years. This one qualifies jax looks at stuff
We've uploaded hundreds of videos on this channel for the last year
This one qualifies two jack massey welsh weekly uploads on there for the last year. Not a problem
Jackson geography recently stopped uploading on this channel the content's all still there
There's like 30 videos and they've all got over 50 000 views samsung's apricots
This is the first youtube channel I ever made back in 2008. Not many videos on there. Unfortunately, there is more than five
So this one once again qualifies two, but this is where things get more complicated turd. Boy. 420
this channel was created 100 as a joke because I wanted to say could we get an
actual real play button without uploading any videos and the answer is
No, no, you can't so that's why if I sign into turd boy and I take a look at the videos
We have a bunch of videos on here that have been privated
These are a bunch of joke videos that I made
Just so that there was content on the channel
And so that I could get this then once we got this I privated all the videos
So i'm guessing on for this channel to qualify. We're gonna have to make all the videos public again. Brilliant
No problem, 10 voice channels in the description with the videos newly unprivate and so go check them out if you want
Oh well
This is such a fun next we've got jack sucks a pop-up pirate
120 000 subscribers I made this channel because I lost a dare with you guys
Because I said if I got 50 000 likes on a video I would do a channel
Dedicated to the kids game pop-up pirate, and we got 50 000 likes, but we need five videos with fifty thousand subs
Which we don't have we've only got one epic pop-up pirate gameplay
So I guess we're gonna have to go on amazon in order to pop up all off pop up bb-8 and pop-up minions
44 pound 97 that i'm never gonna get back, but it means that you can expect
daily pop-up pirate videos on jack sucks a pop-up pirate until we
Have five and then I don't want to do any more please, please. Okay. Bye now
There we go
Link in the description for a pirate and the final channel to get us to that beautiful
Golden eight number jack's epic youtube channel full of fun times and fun
Hi rick x all we need to do is get that to a hundred thousand subscribers, which is your bit
Please look at the description once again, and then i'll work on the five videos. So
It'll be something they'll probably be kind of joke easy videos at the start, but I do
Generally want to have a youtube channel where I can upload just anything that i'm interested in
So if I wanted to show off our pet fish I could do that. For example
Or if I wanted to unbox something cool that i've bought I could show that on this channel because I don't just want to abuse
Youtube and guinness world record system. I know
We've got a couple of joke channels in there
But I want this world record mainly to be about the 10 years of hard work that we've put into youtube
Making thousands and thousand videos and then the odd pop-up pirate gameplay
All right, we've got one last guideline and it's the most difficult one
The claimant should provide a signed statement from youtube confirming that all the channels belong to them. Okay. That's that's fine
I suppose we could probably get that and that to their best knowledge
No, other individual owns and manages more youtube channels with 100 000 subscribers, so they want me to get a letter from youtube
Keep in mind that from my recent actions youtube aren't too happy with me at the moment
They want a statement so that youtube can certify. Yes. This guy's got the most youtube channels
So three weeks ago. I reached out to my contact at youtube who very very kindly said that he would look into this
He didn't really know who he needed to contact
We'll just contact a bunch of different youtube departments and hopefully we can get this statement
We sent him all of our guinness world record in four
He said he'd do some digging get back to me and three weeks later. He no. I'm so sorry
I've tried to find an individual or department
Bracket spoken to quite a few who would be able to do this and sadly no one feels that they are able to verify
It with a level of certainty that would warrant it being a definitive world record. I'm, sorry, mate
This sounds like a really great idea, but youtube won't be able to contribute this time
I understand that to be fair. There are what a billion youtube channels i'm responsible for about half of those
It's so difficult to say that me
I'm, the guy who's got the most youtube channels with 100 000 subscribers because there's just so many people and channels out there
So I completely understand that and I really appreciate
My contact from youtube putting effort in and reaching out to people just to help with my video
But it's not gonna happen. So does that mean that our chances of getting a world record all over?
I hope not honestly, I think basically what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna use this video I challenge you
Who's watching this to find another?
Individual one person that has more than eight youtube channels with a hundred thousand
Subscribers because i'm hoping that if none of you can find another individual who is eligible for this award then hopefully that would prove
To guinness world records that there most likely isn't another individual and then we can get the world record
I'm also gonna purchase the priority evidence review, which is 350 quid
But it means that instead of having to wait another three months to hear back from them
We can have a back and forth conversation where they get back to me within five working days every single
Time so i'll do that as soon as this video ends. So there we have it. That's it for now. I'm quite nervous
I don't know if this is gonna work once again
Potentially a much bigger channel than me could watch this video
And decide they want the world record and just make a bunch more channels
But i'm hoping we can just get in there quick
And at least be a record holder for a little bit if you would like to participate in this world record for free then all
You need to do is subscribe to jack's epic youtube channel full of fun times and fun hirik kiss
If you want to find out what happens next in this story subscribe to jackson live
I'll give you an update as soon as there is one and yeah
Hopefully there's not another user with more channels than me and hopefully guinness world records
Won't mind that I don't have a letter from youtube turned boy content back up in the description pop up pirate content
Dearly for the next few days, I guess
First video out in an hour and i'll also whack as many videos as I can onto here. So please watch them. Thanks
See you later
You
