Trying to Beat Hardcore Minecraft with My Idiot Friends 

Your browser is holding you back. Level up with Opera GX: operagx.gg/martincitopants2

I refuse to believe, after all those attempts, none of them opted to simply lock-up Steven and leave him alone to his own insanity.

Im convinced that Mart took 5 months of trying to actually beat minecraft under the conditions he laid out. Solely thanks to the immense stupidity of his friends (Steven)

The fact that steven wasn't kicked out of this challenge really goes to show how dedicated everybody is to good content.

Practice Run 1: Tristen killed by gravity (own stupidity) Practice Run 2: Tristen killed by gravity (own stupidity) Practice Run 3: Tristen killed by Iron Golem Practice Run 4: Tristen killed by swimming in lava (own stupidity) Practice Run 5: Mart brutally assaulted by Piglins Practice Run 6: Mart brutally assaulted by Piglins (You didn't learn the first time!?)

This better be a 2 hour montage of screaming and pain

Everyone else: Can we please go 17 minutes without a death? Tristan and Stephen: You guys wanna see us butt-chug rubbing alcohol?

voicechat mod is genuinely the best mod, sometimes i’ll be building something and hear a faint scream from my friend running from mobs and it gets louder and louder then i just see him running for his life screaming his head off 😂

27:03 to 28:27 is potentially the greatest sequence of events i've ever seen in a video, and the narration only makes it funnier

Martin really looked at minecraft hardcore and went: "what if i added 12 more potential points of failure to this"

5 months for 34 minutes of Martin is SO fucking worth it. I can quit whenever I would like, I’m not addicted, I JUST WANT ONE MORE

27:40 The crescendo nerve wracking scene here. Pure chaos in classic art form.

10:07 "There he is. It's Martin." just kills me, lmao, that line was beautifully delivered

It really is a testament to you guys' endless well of patience that you didn't just tie Tristan to a tree and then take turns ritually flailing him to death with leather belts for all his numerous transgressions.

Take Stephen and Tristan to the hague for their heinous warcrimes 😤

That ending with the portal to the skyblock map is showing the first stage of grief: denial. Dying during the fight fucked Martin up so bad he made up a story to explain how it didn’t happen.

I've only just discovered your yt channel from your "skyblock" video and I have to say, I REALLY enjoy the way of editing that you do. It's something I've never seen before. It's hard to explain in words what I enjoy about it so much but you've defs got a sub from me mate. I look forward to seeing more of your older videos, as well as new ones. :)

This frog man sure knows how to make a fantastic storyline

I expect martin to scream in shock after finding a frog

17:55 when Martin said "worst of all, these guys," he missed a perfect opportunity to zoom in on his friends. God knows after all their shenanigans it would be an accurate statement.

28:18 Tristian, Steven, YOU GOT SHIELDS GODDAMMIT USE THEM

You have to admire the massive amount of restraint martin had to exercise in order to keep himself from banning/immediately murdering Steve and Tristan after they sabotaged several runs

I know this is a largely shitpost channel, and we avoid being sincere, but this is such a well written, well edited, well produced story. I am so excited for the next part. I liked you as a fun gaming youtube channel, but this really makes me respect you as a storyteller.

i would argue this is possible the best minecraft video i’ve ever seen. ranging from the cinematics, to the writing, to the humor, to the personality. it all comes together perfectly to tell an entertaining story

That casual bed placing in the nether made my day.

RIP to attempts 14 & 29. Two almost-complete runs full of so much potential and promise, only to be cruelly cut short by trollish shenanigans.

Martin's multiplayer videos are surprisingly fun to watch. They're also painful to watch as his friends die in the dumbest ways possible

"Let's try not to die" always results in the first try ending in a team mate trying out the team damage mechanics.

I’ve watched this video over 5 times and I’m still not tired of it yet

How Tristan and Steven got their hands on so much tnt without dying to creepers over and over with their quite small and squalid bases is quite the feat honestly.

I don't know how he did it but he made minecraft look like a completely new experience. I wasn't expecting to think that a MC video has great cinematography.

OMG those edits with classical music are just pure gold, love it

No cap, this is one of THE funniest Minecraft videos I’ve watched. You and your buds really nailed it with this one.

I'm surprised how they didn't just kick Steven out of the challenge after how many times he's single-handedly ruined over 10 attempts

7:20 “I don’t know how people die in under water caving expedition, you should just bring a fricken door you imbecile.” This aged fucking amazing in only a months time

This has such great editing with amazing shots. Good work!

I laughed so much at this video! Thank you for this amazing journey!

I laughed so hard when Ben threw off his armor and stood directly on the lit tnt, ensuring all would be taken down by his wrath.

Martin's storytelling is so good. He made Stephen seem like the worst person ever during these attempts. (he was)

I like how at the beginning of attempt five, they just sprinted off in a random direction until they found a frog and worshipped it.

13:06 I love how he just says promising new land..

“After 29 attempts, we could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel” yes and it was another train coming:D

Tristan: *probably has the most deaths on the earlier attempts* Me: Surely, he has to be the villain, right? Meanwhile, Steven: *ruins the best runs and/or trolls people too much*

"A compentent enemy is better than a incompetent ally" - Sun Tsu i think

The montage shots are extremely well done. 10/10 video watched multiple times

Finally, the legend has returned 🛐, I've been waiting for this wonderful moment for months...

This video is a prime example of “just because you have other people helping you that doesn’t mean the task will be easier.”

I loved this video! Can't explain in words how amused I was at the effort gone into this! Great video boi

These videos are such a vibe, makes life easier and funner!!!!

The drama, the cinematography, the comedic timing,, this guy and his editor is a genius

Tristan being the embodiment of chaos was both hilarious and deeply exhausting at the same time

this is actually one of the funniest videos i have watched in a long time

STEVENS NAME SAYS "GREAR" 20:02 That's why martin didn't what it on screen

My man remembered he ended Factorio on a cliffhanger, and decided to do it again. Then he did it AGAIN, on another series. Absolute mad lad

The video editing and story telling is so much better than a lot of really big production shows its mad how good mart is with it, so glad he blew up when he did

the cinematic shots are lowkey movie level and i can greatly appreciate it

i love how he uses different mics to narrate and a different mic for his voice for his character

Mart’s sanity : I fear no man Mart’s sanity : but that _thing_ *steven’s pranks* Mart’s sanity : it _scares_ me

With friends like Steven you don't need enemies 🗿

Steve was fortunate to have friends so forgiving

21:30 song is Fights - Agst

Im not sure how you could remain friends with Steven after all the shit he put you through and the time he wasted. Patience of a fucking saint, honestly.

I’m starting to think that Mart is a masochist because of the amount of torture he subjects himself to.

1:50 ok let's make things a bit more formal proceeds to make the keys sound like METAL PiPe

man ! your editing is so much good !!! i can't put words of how i like this video ! keep up you are one of the best !

I like how when you guys found the portal room. You left the 2 people who have ruined the runs the most amount of times alone together. I’m sure nothing could ever go wrong

this was beyond well edited this was movie production budget levels of edited (in my personal opinion)

Bro the editing Martin does makes it feel like he made his own genre of videos

steven is the one friend in the group everyone hates

Martin went from suffering alone to suffering with friends

After 28:12 I would've just stopped playing with Tristan and Steven all together, I'd be so fucking pissed

19:17 made me laugh harder than i've laughed in weeks thank you

Martin. You have changed the thumbnail 4 fricken times. Ya dont have to.

I feel like this challenge becomes exponentially harder every person you add after the third. Edit: I take it back, anything after solo is harder if people are actively griefing the run lol.

Steven is the kind of guy to leak government documents to win a war thunder argument.

I cannot get over how satisfying the sound of sped up Minecraft punching is.

I love that Mart included the Endermans perspective of Ben getting chased lmfao

I'm jealous of the amount of friends Martin has.

5 months for a 30 minute video, worth every second. Martin is like a drug. Can't get enough of this man's content. Also, what's the shader

8:20 Tristen was playing checkers blowing up the light house while Ben was playing chess

The cinematography in this one is on point

The editing of third person in Minecraft is amazing and really makes this video special I am surprised I don’t see this more for more recent Minecraft videos in their editing 21:35

I love the editing on the montage where he’s just walking in a straight line with all the chaos around him it just looks so smooth and sick

The kid kicking the sandcastle at 29:11 killed me 😂😂😂😂

I already have Opera GX but I still watched the entire ad just to see what kind of shenanigans he threw in this time

The enderman chasing him up the stairs is the funniest shit I've seen. Made me laugh so hard.

100% worth the wait 10/10 Would reccomend as a cure for depression

Watching these videos while you're drinking is mind boggling

dude the editing at 28:43 is so cool! probs to whoever made it!

This was a rollercoaster of emotions. The hilarity, the tragedy, the triumph. Truly masterful story telling.

Gotta say, your editing and use of world replay made this the most entertaining Minecraft content I've seen in years. Finally, something to munch on besides quirky teenage Dream banter.

wow, hilariously and creatively told, with great camerawork too!

love the editing style

For anyone asking, the music at 21:23 is AGST - Fights, and I think the shaderpack is Complementary - Reimagined EDIT: Mart confirmed in his QnA video on the live channel that he used Complementary shaders

Phenomenal video Mart! And for those wondering, the shaders in use throughout the video is "Complementary Shaders"

It's at our utmost priority to keep these distinguished gentlemen separate during a chemistry project.

Bro that was so good like you’ve become one of my newest favorite RU-vidrs this is so good you are an inspiration an absolute legend I commend thee for your patience and also sick editing skills and music choices and also the dramatic lil moment I was very invested the entire time. In summary thank you for blessing us with this absolutely amazing video you are a legend.

Alternate title: Going through the 5 stages of grief with my friends on minecraft

this gives me the vibes of "oh god help me im mentaly insane" and when the hell are we getting more my summer car

Just for the record, this is the best video ive watched in the whole spring. I love this so much. Just friends being friends combined with good editing is insane. Its kinda like grian but more chaotic and better editing. I love this.
