Stumble Guys is Boring | Just Another Paid Promotion 

Probably not the funnest or sexiest topic, but shedding more light on Better Help’s shady practices is always important to me. It’s a shame that some of my favorite creators still shill for that not-therapy service.

One topic that wasn't mentioned about this game too is how it's literally pay to win. You can use the punch emote to actually punch other players off platforms. And the punch emote is paid.

i can't wait till you get popular enough to have random marketers with no idea what you do, send you offers for sponsorships/promotions and you just tear they product apart.

Stumble Guys is easy to cheese. You get eliminated from your first game and then you get bot-only lobbies. Easy wins

Really excited for more of these videos, and maybe in the future... the dreaded Raid Shadow Legends video.

I only heard of Stumble Guys from Cr1tikal playing it and completely cheesing it with the punch emote. I wasn't even aware it was sponsored without the collective eye roll of this Great Value Fall Guys. I love this series so far, I have a feeling you're going to blow up any time soon once you tackle the heavy hitter sponsors (RAID, Betterhelp, Hello Fresh, etc.)

You could talk about Opera Gx's agressive marketing and shady bisness practices

The only song stumble guys has is fucking stock music…. Real quality game

honestly ive never heard of this game, but how tf did it manage to get on steam or xbox, its a direct ripoff, how haven't they been sued?

I think Evony/King's Quest/"The Game From The Ads" would be good

I think Stumble Guys was originally made to cash in on the Fall Guys craze, because it was free, and Fall Guys wasn't, but now that both are free, it doesn't really have any reason to exist

I had whiplash seeing Cookie Run: Kingdom mentioned at the end there, since I've been playing that game every day since the Halloween Masquerade update, and I'm a F2P player at heart :') As much as I am a part of the Cookie Run community, and I kinda lurk around in the fanbase, I can't wait to see you tear through this thing (and also Ovenbreak maybe if there's time!!). Great video as always :D

Oh I am so hyped for that Cookie Run Kingdom video, it's hard to find good criticism of it that isn't just "This cookie is UGLY" and if anything outside that exists then I have yet to see it

I'm really surprised that you didn't mention that Fall Guys was at one point a $10-20 game and only went free to play after it's first year. It's true it got popular from PS Plus but to get it on Steam or keep it after PS Plus ended you had to pay for it (and even more for like a Hotdog Suit premium edition). Then after a year it was pulled from Steam like a week after it was put onto Epic Games Store. Otherwise a good video, RU-vid didn't recommend this one to me until a few days after it was posted despite being subscribed.

0:37 didn’t age well

You should cover that scam everyone forgot about Established Titles.

6:31 Just when I thought I'd seen the worse of mobile game ads.

It's unbelievable that this rip-off has been accepted as a "real game" and is even promoted by channels like Mr. Beast. I mean, look at it. Also 7:21 is a reason to live

If I was Mediatonic I'd sue the pants off Scopely. Fall Guys doesn't have a license on game show battle royales of course, but Stumble Guys isn't even trying to hide the fact that they're outright stealing levels and animations.

the only reason stumble guys is even allowed to exist is because epic games is banished from the app store, including fall guys

Dont say we are doctor disrespect

I must be in the right corners of youtube to have never heard of this game LOL. The inevitable raid video is gonna be great, excited for that

looking forward to your Raid Shadow Legends coverage seen that for years on this platform never played it nor have i wanted to play it mostly just wanted to see what's inside and what it's like and how it is objectively

Honestly I downloaded this game because it was sponsored by a RU-vidr I liked and I was really shocked at the lacklustre quality. The other day though I caught my younger brother playing it (he’s 11) and he seemed to enjoy it, so it’s definitely good at appealing to its target audience.

When I saw this game being listed on the PlayStation Store I was legit confused whether it's a brazen, blatant knock off, or a legit sequel/spin off to fall guys.

Great vid! Just a couple bits of feedback. I think the intro could be a bit shorter. The longer intro makes sense for the first vid since it’s your debut, but if it takes over a minute to get to the subject every time, I feel like it might get old. Also I think the bgm is slightly too loud sometimes, I had a bit of trouble hearing you some of the time- not anything major, though. Finally, I think you practice annunciating the words you say in the VO. There are a few times (particularly at 2:40-2:48) where it seems like you’re slurring your speech a bit and rushing as well. Aside from that stuff though, the editing, subject matter, and overall visual presentation is all really good and I can’t wait to see more! Have a good day!

Did you know the Saudi Arabia public investment fund owns 8.3 % of Nintendo’s stock? I couldn’t believe it as well, Saudi Arabia makes bank with their investments.

Boy I sure do love plummet fellows

Great job on this lad, I always like the style of youtubers that make hyperactive moments

Just from the fact it was called *STUMBLE* Guys, I could already tell it was a cheap Fall Guys knockoff. I guess I was right. I find it funny how that short song loop just sounds like every other mobile game. Same bpm, instrumentation, just same everything. It appears this game was meant more for mobile, and I guess they just rushed the port to console and PC. Also, some game concepts kinda just work better on mobile, and just some concepts in general, like phone keyboards vs on-screen smart tv keyboards (trying to type with a tv remote [which I've had the displeasure of trying to do *MULTIPLE* times]).

Love this series dude, so happy you blew up. I guess I actually can say I've been here from the start?

Promising start of a channel! This series rocks right off the bat

saw your Magic Spoon video and this video and i really enjoyed your work. your commentary and use of visual gags kinda remind me of Scott the Woz (and i really love Scott the Woz, so that's a good thing in my books). excited to see more of your videos soon!

i saw your first vid when it barely had any views and before i noticed it, i thought you were at least at a few hundred thousand subs hope to see more cool content from you:)

I've played stumble guys before, it was really popular in my country a couple years ago. I have to say, it's a decent game, while the music might be repetitive, and the first levels that were made were a bit bad, it still had its good ones like in the monopoly or mrbeast events. I would personally give it a B.

ohmygod. i saw so many games that i’ve played for YEARS in that little peek of what you were going to be playing in the future. cant wait to see it.

This channel is like a mix of old pyrocynical and adhd x10 and I love it

Can't wait for the RAID Shadow legends video

kind of reminds me of those mario party type ripoffs (but with only 1 mini-game), crossbred with "trip fall stumble guys run course 2022 mobile free". (edit: oh hey, it IS a mobile game.) 7/10, i'd play it. jokes aside, loving these videos so far! very refreshing to have a channel tear into promoted content. i always found it kind of weird how, especially for game promotions, they never really give THAT much of a reason to actually get the product (because they don't have a reason lol) its always "1 million players worldwide", "use my code for a gazillion super-gems and 16 EXCLUSIVE characters!", "this is *my* FAVORITE game", etc. i really don't understand how it gets *anyone* (other than 8 year olds, which i am now realizing are likely the prime audience for those ads.... hm.) i also hope that you don't end up stuck being a purely comedy/lighthearted channel, while i do enjoy it (very much!) i would also be interested in taking a look at some more serious stuff, like those "ai therapy" ones, or the outright scams like that one where you buy a 1 square inch plot of land to become a "lord" or whatever (which i'm pretty sure is like, dead and gone, but just as an example) and while i'm sure others share my sentiment, if you do continue to exclusively make comedy(etc)-oriented videos that's also good! (as long as you don't end up a sell-out :troll:) all in all, keep doing what you're doing! you've already exploded in popularity in just 2 weeks, and i highly doubt it's going to slow down much any time soon!

Love your content man, hope your channel blows up and you get the recognition you deserve 🙏

I hate stumble guys has more downloads than fall guys

6:38 bro istg genshin and honkai are far from the best experience in gaming. but I feel fairly positive that they're better than stumble guys💀. I will admit any gacha system is scummy by default.

Happy to see a new video so soon! One of the only channels I turned off my adblocker for

It was probably just a joke but I’d actually be really interested in what you think of Genshin. Behind it’s awful community it actually has really in depth story telling and fun combat

Found one of my favorite new channels from just 2 videos🤯 hope you keep up the awesome work man!

I’ve seen Roblox copies with higher quality than this

respect for putting fall guys above D2 in terms of f2p value. I’d request you cover it for this series but i don’t think anyone deserves to experience the D2 grind (and i think everyone has stopped promoting them after the Bungie layoff fiasco. Fuck Bungie.)

Huh, I was not expecting this as the second review on this channel. Curious to see how this tier list is gonna look by the end of the year xD

Even just visually fall guys looks way better than stumble guys

Using Doctor Disrespect in the start of the video did NOT age well homie

I had to check this was the same length as the last video, you've already improved editing and pacing significantly. Keep fighting the good fight

This channel is actually really useful and something I was looking for Thanks

I could not be more excited for what this series has to offer!

I think you should also try to cover games that are better than the sponsored stuff. It also saves us money on the games shown when they aren't using a lot of budget on marketing as much.

Oh dayummm I literally JUST discovered your channel a few hours ago!

This is some high quality content and it comes from a channel that just got started. Can't wait for you to talk trash about those gatcha games (including the one that basically invented sponsorblock)

as a fall guys player, stumble guys D- and fall guys B, fall guys is fun but the physics can sometimes be VERY stupid. stumble guys is just the best mobile clone of fall guys and thats why it got popular. too bad fall guys is gonna release soon on mobile aswell.

really hope you cover squarespace or hello fresh seeing as they're the biggest ones i've never seen have a good ""review"" on ofc you're probably gonna cover nord as well and i'll be happy when I see that

Just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed, enjoyed both of your videos. And as you progressed through the video I wondered if you where going to mention it's mobile version. During the last stages of the pandemic when ppl where maybe venturing out, kids learned about fall guys, but without a console at our home, and with kids already using tablets for school, looking up fall guys on the Apple App store leads you directly to Stumble guys. It was free, and what my kids most enjoyed was dressing up their characters with stuff they'd win and it was fun to be able to quickly play online the 3 or 4 of us in the same room pretty painlessly. Credit where it's due, stumble guys filled a gap fall guys didn't account for, gotta give them credit for that. Having said that, even my young kids realized this was a knock off game of another one, heck this might have been the first time they grasped the concept...so bonus points for educative-ness? Objectively d tier, but I'd rate it higher personally just because it brings back good memories, and save for an odd costume I paid for my girls, essentially free to play.

Literally the show ive been looking for. thank you so much i wanna know everything about all these annoying sponsorships haha

Stumble Guys was something I wanted to check out but just never did cause I already play fall guys so what's the point in checking out a knockoff when I have the real thing. As someone with 2.6K hours in Fall Guys The game is fun but has suffered in quality due to rampant bugs and lack of map variety though that has improved with recent updates, I still enjoy the game but won't lie and say it hasn't gotten a little stale especially since they stopped making maps with unity and are really pushing creative mode.

I want to see this channel thrive!

your videos are crazy well made please keep this series going

Well this was certainly a surprise as someone who consistently plays, fall guys and tried to play stumble guys everything in this video is pretty accurate to my own experiences with both games. I even experienced the same glitch for fall guys You showed in the video.

gotta praise ya for putting so much personality into these videos

Ok this outro song is a fucking banger

Never heard of this game, but your channel is off to a great start - congrats!

I saw the goodfellas bit a minute in, and I instantly fell in love with your channel

I always wondered how that game just popped out of nowhere and 1:43 just answered that

4:33 today were gonna be looking at the popular "game" obs, a game the responds to your voice

This is gonna be a series now? Sick

clicked this without realising you made the magic spoon video 2 bangers in a row as your first 2 vids is no coincidence

He's back already with another banger?

Played it alot on mobile before they were sponsoring youtubers, my experience with it is very good because i only played it with my friends and everyone knows that playing with friends makes any bad game an elite game (also, PIF owns them? )

The looping song sounds like something out of one of those DDA shovelware games on Wii

this is the worlds best outro music and nothing can change my mind

I think Fall Guys is more B tier. It launched as a buy-to-play game meaning it stood on its own without any major free-to-play elements, and then when they added in a battle pass it was far less terrible than most battle passes I've seen. Prices are actually reasonable. And it's quite fun with friends. Def not a high B tier game, but I like it. Good video

yeah I never understood how nobody mentioned how Stumble Guys is just the most blatant knockoff of all time

Great video, thought it was pretty funny and informative!

That outro was incredible

I must be the luckiest person. Literally two or three hours ago I stumbled on the magic spoon video and subscribed only to see this video now.

Can't wait for the Adam and Eve review

the reason it got this popular in the first place was because it was really, really funny on Alpharad Gold

Will never forget when Cr1tikal got sponsored by them when he was going through his Stumble Guys phase to bully other players (which if they’re gonna be complimented for one thing it’s having the balls to let emotes affect other people) and at least 3/4 of the comments were like “CHARLIE NO!” Something you forgot to mention was Fall Guys released at $20, so the Stumble Guys devs had to have made this seeing how Fall Guys’ popularity was being hampered by its price tag and it clearly worked.

I have racked up a few mobile games that deserve the name of ‘games’, i would have put it in F. Dowloaded it once, played one game, got bored of the repetitive-ness, deleted. There is just so many other games that are just better

Bro, if Thomas the Tank Engine gets even touched by any of this (since Mattel wants to pretend they created it) the amount of stuff they’ve done already. I don’t even know what they can possibly do to make this worse!

1:22 this shit spoiled goodfellas for me dude, I started it last night and was gonna watch in the evening today 💀💀💀

What’s the song in the outro?

since video games are on the menu, I am excited for the Raid Shadow Legends episode

I actually think i preferred stumble guys over fall guys, and this could just be because I played Fall Guys when people were already super good at it, while I first played Stumble when it first got popular. (Played w/ same friends btw lol) don't player either anymore though, mainly because I don't play too many games anymore.

I just love channels like this. just tearing apart scams that are common

I never got the appeal of games that are supposed to be intentionally frustrating Like isn't the point of video games to relax and have fun, NOT to get your blood pressure to the boiling point?

falling men

6:47 was the best part of the vid IMO. Other then that the vid was ok.

They blew all the budget on marketing and barely any on graphics, assets, music, anything really. Its like this game stayed unchanged since its debut release on Steam minus the skins and paid promotion it got for some damn reason.

This is the closest we'll get to a jester mocking a king

I hate how cheap stumble guys feels

Ngl Honkai star is low key really fun when you get into it, quite good compared to most gacha/mobile games

The funniest thing to me is that someone being paid to promote it talked bad about the game. A RU-vidr hosted a tournament foe it and said that emotes or whatever it was called had to be turned off because the people who didn't have then would be heavily disadvantaged

iirc, in around 2022, Stumble Guys is very popular in Indonesia for a month. Famous Indonesian streamer has play it, which led to other people doing the same thing. In my school, my classmate would made a lobby where the entire quarter of the class is playing Stumble Guys. While the game was at its peak, it slowly dies and no one mentioned Stumble Guys again in 2023. The reason why its so popular at the time? Because a lot of people play with their phone and also like to play together with their friends/viewers. Sometimes, some of them didn't know about Fall Guys and would call Fall Guys a copy of Stumble Guys.
