- That kinda gives me anxiety that they're so close.
- He's been the number one subscribed for, like, so long.
It's about time we have someone else.
♪ (punk rock intro) ♪
- (Mr Beast) I bought a bunch of billboards.
Dude, we got the double billboard. We don't mess around.
- I saw this video online. Oh my goodness.
- Grab your phone, go on YouTube, search PewDiePie and subscribe to him.
- Ooh, PewDiePie versus T-Series.
- I heard about this sub race or whatever,
'cause they were both trying to get to 69 million.
- (Mr Beast) Bought bathroom ads... - Okay. That's one way to do ads.
- (Mr Beast) ...and much more to try and stop T-Series
from passing PewDiePie in subscribers.
- Whoa. - T-Series. Never heard of them.
- Never heard of T-Series. - (Mr Beast) T-Series is growing
four times faster than PewDiePie... - That kind of gives me anxiety
that they're so close. - (Mr Beast) ...I don't do anything,
PewDiePie won't be the number one most subscribed to YouTuber
in the world. - But hey, he's been
the number one subscribed for, like, so long,
it's about time we have someone else.
- (Mr Beast) Therefore, I spent all my money on ads,
so he can remain the number one most subscribed to channel
in the world. - This guy's the ultimate homie.
He's helping him out. - I'm not hating on anybody.
That is pure dedication. But I would not do that.
- All right, billboard number one. Aw, man. We just missed it.
- Dude, I love Mr Beast. He's so funny.
Every one of his videos is original.
- (Mr Beast) Hey! Calling all bros, you can save YouTube.
- Oh my god. - (Mr Beast) Unsubscribe
from T-Series. Truer words have never been spoken.
- That's dedication, straight up.
- (Mr Beast) That person in that red car right there,
they literally just have to stare at PewDiePie's face
the entire time.
- (laughs) This is so funny. What the hell?
- That's so distracting on the road. - (radio host) We gotta push
this big deal that he wants everybody to go about.
What is the mission that you want to have accomplished here today?
- (Mr Beast) Basically, the number one most subscribed to
YouTuber has 67 million subscribers, and there's...
- What the heck? The amount of effort that they put into this is crazy.
- (Mr Beast) ...to tell you guys to go subscribe to PewDiePie.
- That is so funny. They're really taking this very serious. (chuckles)
- (radio host) Now, who's challenging him here?
Some group out of India? - (Mr Beast) Yeah, exactly.
T-Series, they do Indian music, 'cause, you know, a lot of people
in India are getting internet, so, like, it's just growing.
- I've never heard of T-Series. - (Mr Beast) Are you subscribed
to PewDiePie? - (laughs)
- (Mr Beast) Can you subscribe to him, please?
- (chuckles) - (woman laughs) Sure.
- (Mr Beast) Thank you! - Every little bit counts.
- (Mr Beast) Oh, there's a-- I bet a total of...
- I have never seen an ad at a urinal before. (laughs)
- (Mr Beast) Millions of people every year are affected
by awkward handshakes. - He met Conan?!
- (Conan) That was awful. - (Mr Beast) You can help end
this epidemic. Subscribe to PewDiePie.
- This is so dumb. (chuckles) - (sucks in breath)
(laughs) - (Mr Beast) I'm glad I could enjoy
great advertising during-- oh, we got it back to back.
- They have, like, five different ads.
It's not like it's just the same one I'm hearing.
They made, like, six different ones. (laughs)
- This is genius. And I can say that, 'cause I'm an advertising major.
- (Mr Beast) The only person we're reaching with our ad is us.
Do we just wanna advertise to ourselves?
- How much money did this cost?
Honestly, getting all these ads.
- (Mr Beast) Are you subscribed to PewDiePie?
- (teenager) Uh, no. - (PewDiePie) Where were you
when this happened? - Oh my god.
- (Mr Beast) I need you to go subscribe to him.
Here, Chris. Can you hold that for him?
- (Chris) Here. I'll hold all your stuff for you.
- Are they on a college campus right now? That's so funny.
- (Mr Beast) I'm not sure the viewers can see it,
but all right, hit Subscribe. - (laughs)
- (Mr Beast) Thank you. - Dude, this guy's really going at it
right now with it.
- That's genius. - (Mr Beast) T-Series,
you're about to become L-Series. - Oh my gosh.
- (Mr Beast) We may not have as large as a population
as you, India, but what we do have is original content.
- I feel like I wanna go subscribe to help him out. (laughs)
- (Mr Beast) ...and the most accurate news source this planet...
- That would definitely get me to subscribe if I wasn't already.
- (Mr Beast) ...67 million subscribers in a night.
He crossed many bridges to get where he is today,
and we aren't gonna let you tear down his legacy.
- I love this. - (PewDiePie) I can't believe
someone would do this. Leave a like if you are depressed.
- What? - "Subscribe or I will delete
your Fortnite account." And (sucks in breath) I am subscribed,
'cause I do not want my Fortnite account deleted.
- I wanna know how much they spent on that,
because that's a lot.
Also, I need a ride or die like that in my life.
- It's sad, but it was bound to happen.
T-Series has a whole country behind them.
- (FBE) So, that was YouTuber Mr Beast, who wants to help PewDiePie
stay the most subscribed to channel on YouTube.
- That's insane. He's like, "No, this guy,
we're gonna keep him there." (chuckles)
- (FBE) PewDiePie's fans have been thanking Mr Beast
as well as trying to do their part to keep PewDiePie number one.
And so, we have some memes around that to show you now.
- Awesome, okay. Looking forward to it.
- "Subscribe to PewDiePie." Oh my god.
That's the first thing that pops up.
- "I'm doing my part." It's so-- it's so-- it's so random.
This is so dumb. - That's cute. That's cute.
- Even Google knows what's up.
- Mr Beast's impact. Plus 85,462 subscribers.
- PewDiePie, he owes a lot to Mr Beast now.
- 300,000 away. And 300,000 subscribers
for the both of them is nothing.
- When I first was watching this, I was like, "Okay. This is kinda crazy
and is it actually gonna do anything?" But the fact that it's helping him
a ton, that's actually really nice to know that so many people
care about you and the stuff that you're doing.
- "Doing my part in Germany." Oh my god! It's like a big thing.
That's crazy how wide this has spread.
- "I want you for a nine-year-old army."
- Germany. (chuckles) Worldwide, I guess.
I'm surprised I haven't seen something on the streets of LA.
- Low-key, I'm part of the nine-year-old army.
Actually, high-key. What am I talking about?
Subscribe to PewDiePie! (chuckles)
- "Bought a small ad space in my local newspaper
and published this. I did my part, Pewds."
- "Help Pewds be the first one to reach 69 million subscribers."
In the newspaper, so we get the old people to subscribe, too.
(laughs) - There are still newspapers, people.
Do you know about that? Those are still a thing.
- First of all, does anyone even read those sections
in the newspaper? Second of all, wow.
- Everyone's taking part. Now I feel like an [bleep].
(chuckles) I haven't done anything. - I love PewDiePie as much
as the next guy, but I would never spend money
to advertise his channel. He's already got 65 million.
- "Mr Beast for man of the year." - "He protec. He attac."
- "But most importantly, he got the Pewds' back." (chuckles)
- Mr Beast is actually the real MVP of 2018.
- I love those memes. Those are the funniest ones to me.
That is hilarious.
- Elon Musk, "Send me your dankest memes."
- pewdiepie, "Meme review, when?" "Midnight."
- "Write 'Subscribe to PewDiePie' on your next rocket launch."
(chuckles) That's the thing, though. You can't mess around
with Elon Musk like that, 'cause you know
he'll do something like that. - People are really, really
involved in this. (laughs) - This is so stupid,
like, literally so stupid for this many people to care about it.
- I'm confused. I'm... I'm entertained.
That was pretty crazy. - The internet is reacting
how the internet reacts to a lot of things,
just kind of blowing it out just so that way
it can have its moments of fame and get those last little subscribers.
But PewDiePie should not feel bad that he's being passed up
by a whole company, you know? He did great.
I can appreciate talent when I see it.
- (FBE) So, in the last few months, the YouTube channel T-Series
has been climbing up the YouTube subscriber count
and is slowly on track to become number one.
That's crazy. T-Series, if you don't know,
is the largest Indian music production company
and film production company. They post a lot
of Bollywood music videos, interviews, trailers,
that kind of stuff. - Basically, MTV for the internet.
- (FBE) Were you aware that the most subscribed YouTube channel
was possibly about to change? - No. I literally did not know
this channel even existed!
- No, I didn't even know that was even happening.
- I wasn't aware at all. I mean, I'm not even subscribed to PewDiePie.
Well, now I will. (chuckles) - I was aware.
If that changes, that would kind of suck.
- I am aware. I just keep watching his videos,
doing everything I can to keep him number one.
- (FBE) So, originally, SocialBlade predicted
that T-Series would pass PewDiePie in subscriber count on October 21st
of this year, but this gap began to slow down,
and it is now estimated that it'll pass by November 14th.
And some have credited Mr Beast's efforts
as part of the reason as to why.
- Mr Beast has saved the day for a few weeks.
- (FBE) One reason many people don't think that T-Series
deserves to be the number one most subscribed to channel
is because they're a large corporation instead of a self-made YouTuber.
- Yeah, 'cause it is hard, because there's a lot of companies
and businesses that jump on YouTube as a platform,
and it's not a YouTuber sort of thing.
- (FBE) Do you care if a channel like T-Series that is a company
versus an individual creator becomes the most subscribed to channel?
- I mean, it kinda says a lot about the platform,
but it doesn't really bother me personally.
YouTube is becoming more of almost like a TV or entertainment outlet.
- In my opinion, it doesn't really matter,
because I don't even think of them in the same realm.
PewDiePie is still the most subscribed YouTuber.
YouTuber is the key word, 'cause this company,
they're not a YouTuber. - I would prefer it to be a YouTuber
just because if you're gonna be that big of a production company,
might as well be a production company and not take the platform
away from what it's supposed to be. It almost discourages newer YouTubers.
- I completely understand both sides of the situation.
I mean, there's one side that says, "Hey, it's important
for people from all areas of the world to be able to share their story."
And then, obviously, the other side is, like, YouTube was kind of started
for these people, and it was started for the individuals.
Everybody has a right to have a say in this.
And it seems like PewDiePie's fans are definitely speaking louder.
- (FBE) So, Mr Beast is obviously a YouTuber himself.
He's got nine million subs and known for the crazy stunts
and challenges, gave away $10,000, and attempted to stay in a pool
of slime for 24 hours. - (laughs) Oh my god.
Why would you do that to yourself?
- (FBE) So, within a day of this video, PewDiePie had also gained
over 85,000 new subscribers. On average, he gains around 30,000.
But why do you think that other creators such as Mr Beast
are helping to keep PewDiePie at number one?
- I think they're trying to keep the creativity aspect of YouTube
alive in a sense of, like, "Oh, if we help this creator out,
this reflects on all of us, too."
- PewDiePie is one of the most OG YouTubers there is.
I think he genuinely wants to help, because T-Series, it's an epidemic.
- It's a corporation versus a self-made YouTuber.
So, to YouTubers like us, where it's based on a personality
or a person, it means more to them
that a personality YouTuber stays on top.
- It's your platform. YouTube is for YouTubers essentially
at this point. That's their place. That's their job.
And so, it kind of sucks when people who aren't YouTubers
are gonna take that spot. - A lot of YouTubers out right now
were probably inspired by everything he's been doing
and were encouraged to do their thing, since he's so engaging with his fans.
I'm sure they're just trying to thank him back
for helping him to inspire them.
- (FBE) So finally, as of recording this video, there are less
than a million subscribers between PewDiePie and T-Series,
meaning that any day now, they might pass him.
- What?! It's gotten that close?
- (FBE) So, are you going to subscribe to PewDiePie
to help him stay number one? - Sure. Why not?
- I'm gonna stay subscribed, watch all of his videos,
like the videos. - I won't even bother
watching him maybe, but I'll still subscribe.
We don't want those larger companies taking over YouTube
and changing the game. - I've been subscribed to PewDiePie.
But I'll tell you what. I got more than one Gmail account,
so I'm gonna go subscribe to him
on my other four Gmail accounts right now.
- Heck, yes! 'Cause I'm not subscribed currently.
I might become a new fan. I might became a new bro.
- I'm Poppy Harlow. Thanks for watching
