Youtuber Faked His Death

what a cool and fun prank nothing can ever go wrong doing stuff like this

This actually did me some good, I struggle with suicidal thoughts and this was so insulting in going to stay alive out of spite

See faking a death is one thing, but the real crime here is the acting.

the camera guy having to explain what being dead means while Lucus calmly suggests checking Marcus’ room is such a compelling scene. the cognitive dissonance really displays his immediate shock and denial. i was on the edge of my seat.

I lost my older sister due to suicide and seeing this boils my blood and this is genuinely so disgusting what made them think this is ok?

Was getting ready to see which dead youtuber was about to come back to life

the fact they were willing to do this not only for ‘views’ but scare their genuinely caring audience of children makes me so angry. they way they’ve literally just gone back to regular ‘content creating’ is fucked up

Makes me infuriated. You know how many mothers a day go “lemme see if he’s in his room” and see their kid Fucking hanging from their ceiling? And they’re using that for views.

“How do you write a letter if he’s dead?” This man needs to become a detective, because that is some God teir deductive powers right there

"What up? I'm Jared, I'm 19, and I never fuckin learned how to read" but if it was the Blair Witch Project

My brother attempted suicide and i remember when i read his note i was so frantic in finding him and my heart felt like it was gonna explode, losing your family member to something like this is no joke, its not a prank, the pain is very real and seeing them take it so lightly makes me sick

The way those guys read, act, and speak infuriates me. These are the kids in school who flunked on everything, had an easy school life, and are now having an easy adult life, just cause they understood the algorithm.

Imagine being a parent and walking in on your little child crying their heart out in front of the screen and when you ask them what’s wrong they tell you “it was just a suicide prank” I’d light every screen in the house on fire

It blows my mind that they filmed this entire thing, watched it back, edited it, and then still said "yeah, this is the content we need on our channel"

as someone who lost a near and dear friend of mine to suicide 2 years ago, i still fail to understand what one can profit off of pretending someone died. sickening fr

THIS MAN DID NOT JUST SAY "How did he write a letter if he's dead?" BRO THAT SHIT HAD ME DEAD OMFG

the only way they can entertain their audience is by literally dying. I think that says a lot on its own lmao

Imagine actually going through this scenario, losing a loved one due to suicide and going through all of that pain and loss. Then watching a video where someone uses suicide to make money. Disgusting.

I've had two friends take their own lives and the emotions that come along with losing someone you love, especially to something like that, are indescribable. For someone to think "Ah, sick, this will get me so many views," they have to be so fucking detatched from reality. Sometimes I think that society doesn't surprise me anymore, but then shit like this keeps happening.

It’s kind of creepy that he can’t draw on any emotion whatsoever. Like I joke with my friends “what would you say for my eulogy?” They get upset and are like “don’t say that, I’m gonna cry!”
Yet this dude is straight up reading a fake suicide note for his TWIN BROTHER and appears to be…bored. He’s so bad at acting he can’t even be a little sad on accident.

Whenever you feel bad about yourself just remember that there are people like these out there

9:22 I love how that dude is just smiling as if he has been waiting for his death for years, and now he may finally usurp the throne.

how delusional and out of place do you have to be to genuinely believe there’s nothing wrong with joking about taking your own life, it’s not even something of “i lost someone i love so i know it’s not ok” type situation, it’s common decency and basic respect. absolutely disgusting.

This is just so unbelievably messed up. I have a twin and just thinking about something like this happening irl makes me a bit upset. Truly disgusting that these morons think that this is good content

I couldn’t stop laughing at how bad they are at reading😂😂

My good friend committed in 2017 when we were only 15. I know this is some dumb video but when he was “looking for” his brother, I was so ready for him to find his body in his room or something. Just out of sheer trauma from my friend being found in her room dead. Not only is this content beyond cancerous, but it’s also disturbing and distasteful. Ick.

Real people have gone through this tragedy and people who think "how fking funny would it be to trick people into thinking this happened" have something wrong with them.

I started choking on my quesadilla when the Backyard Surprise was revealed. I think we should give these guys' big brains a chance, they're clearly comedic geniuses.

As an older brother struggling with severe depression the palpable raw emotions seeping from Lucas (?) is breathtaking, really brings it all into perspective and the bravery in these children for taking on such deep subject matter with such sensitivity honestly gives me such hope for humanity
(This was legit a trend? What the fuck)

These guys have clearly never lost a loved one to suicide. Really shows how ignorant and sheltered they are

I remember watching Etika's final livestream as it happened. It's such a shame this shit happens - really spits in the face of genuine people that need help.

I couldn't stop crying, I spilled milk all over my dipper. I was so afraid Marcus got banished to the shadow realm. "while shaking my first to the sky" Give him back God, we need Marcus on this earth.
Damn they really got me, best pranksters.

As somebody who actually lost the best older brother life could’ve given, this is fucking sickening. I hate this with every fiber of my being.

I have literally had to untie someone down from the ceiling to save them and in a different instance frantically look around for a family member who nearly ended it.
i think suicide jokes are fine but when it comes to suicide pranks that shit is just traumatising

I like how Charlie used the shadow realm joke just to flex his biceps. Sneaky.

I have been missing these videos when you take us through the cringe part of youtube. I love it and I wish you would do it more often! :)

This was already sick and the filming, the tombstone.. everything about this makes me want to slam my head into a wall

one of my bestfriends is in a battle with depression, they have tried suicide 3 times in 6 months. Seeing shitty people who would use these cases for clout enfuriates me the most. I hope nothing but peace to the poor souls who died too soon.

As a person who has attempted suicide, this makes me sick to my stomach that people can be this disgusting and still have supporters.

Come on. Faking a death is low, but faking someone ending their own life is absolutely abhorrent.
It spits in the face of people who actually suffer from these things.

I lost one of my father figure to suicide. Seeing this video makes me extremely upset, I’m very disappoint in thid… This is scummy bullshit 🙁

Your commentary is just amazing 💙

I love how Charlie is acting like a master detective after playing L.A Noire

I've never seen their content before but for writing the letter themselves, he reads it so fucking slowly

I'm 100% convinced that these kinds of people are cloned in a massive facility and shipped out to the public. Don't tell me it's just a coincidence that they all look, act, and think the same.

on the edge of my seat the whole video, wow, round of applause!

Despicable stuff, really, but the most painful part is listening to these guys read. Wow, just wow.

I used to watch their vids when i was like really young but somehow drifted away from their channel, which I am happy about now since it is NOT ok to make a joke of someone committing suicide bc it's something not to mess around with since people have done it and it's sad.

To be fair to the kids who believed it, I could have been convinced this was real, this two have no emotional capacity and their audience knows it. If one of them DID commit a non-alive, I bet that's exactly how it would go down

Perfect evidence right here that so many content creators are willing to do such scummy things to get people to click on their stuff, and aren't being punished for it

I'm suprised he didn't start helping them looking for himself and they still not know what happened to him

I just wanted to prank my family that love me and care about me, i thought itvwould be HILARIOUS if i made them think i committed suicide, became that is such a huge joking matter....lmao! WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE WITH FAKING DEATH, KARMA IS GONNA GET THEM BAD!

as someone who struggles with unaliving lol this is really cringy to watch

It's the speech impediment that gets me every time from the brothers. Child speak to peddle shit content to children. It's perfect really.

This literally feels like a parody of how far creators will go for content, just, wow.

I love you charlie and your videos but I couldn't finish this video, not because of you but because of these mf's who think it's funny to joke about death and suicide. I have friends who've struggled with depression and suicide and to even think about this makes me so sick let alone joke about it.

i like how he already looks devastated from the beggining of the video when supposedly they dont know whats going on

Dammit Charlie you are like commercials in a movie of this cinematic masterpiece. You are interrupting my experience.

i’m sry but the pan to the party city gravestone half-heartedly stuck into the ground got me 😭

*Seriously though, who the fuck would joke about these things? This is a real and major problem, can't believe idiots would use it for views- disgusting*

there was kid who suicided at my school even though i didnt know him just the fact that someone there was never coming back was terrible for those who didnt even know him it is incredibly inapropriate for the dobre brothers to do this i honestly dont understand why they havent been canceled.

Just imagine if a kid saw that video and decided to pull such a wonderful and well thought "prank".
"But mom my idol, Marcus, did it!!!"
Wonderful influence.

The way they read the sucide note from Marcus sounds exactly how I read when I'm force to read in class. This shit is fucking bonkers. This is what people should focus on when "cancelling" someone. Not shit people have done or said in the past. Content creators who are currently doing shit like this for clicks and views

Every single time I see Charlie make fun of these goofy goobers I feel so much better about myself

If you actually watch their content it’s overly obvious it was a prank ☹️

as someone who has actually had to go through stuff this this with both myself and multiple friends, this type of shit enrages me so much. it’s so insensitive towards suicide survivors/people who have actually dealt with suicidal thoughts, and to anyone who has actually had to go through the pain of someone they love committing. the fact that kids channels like this actually make this kind of content, and the fact that people watch these videos and enjoy them, is so disgusting to me. clickbaiting such a serious topic is so rude. i genuinely don’t understand why anyone would ever think of making a video like this, but sadly here we are.

As a disabled person, am I allowed to say that he is acting super disabled?

Boy reads like he's remedial, bless him 😂

These guys prove that you don't need a single drop of personality or characharacter to get big. Even Patrick's pet rock can become a big youtuber

They’re such incredible detectives they should be called the Scooby Doobrey Brothers

i actually attempted a few weeks ago and got some pretty serious brain damage from it. i’m so glad to hear about this lovely money grab

Really worried about how these guys seem to read at a fifth grade level when they all look like their pushing 25

I'm so glad we cant see the dislikes on this video. imagine scumbags being exposed before people watch it. CROINNNGE

Even if it is staged, filming someone reading a sucide note is fucked up

3:59 my man almost slipped and said
"I will see you soon"

He deserves an award for the wonderful acting

i normally think it’s really cruel to say describe something as “brain dead”. but i literally can’t think of a better adjective for their content. i understand their fans might have other interests but charlie’s right they have a young fan base. it’s just worrying that they’re regularly watching these mindless, droning kids

I suffer from alot of depression but I couldn't stop laughing at how absurd this is😂 mostly cause people thought it was real😭 I've seen better acting in most porn😂

My brother took his life a few years ago. Nothing will be able to take that guilt and grief away from me. The fact that anybody would stretch things so far to receive clout is disgusting

“How can he write a letter if he’s dead?”
*dear god*

As someone who has actually experienced a prank like this. I did cry aswell. And the other person got dragged into it against their will. Asshole…
And this just. Makes me so mad that people still do this till this day

Scary how the internet has made this generation very detached from reality, and starved for attention online.

I like how this dude has 4+ billion views, more than double the Dobre brothers, but he seems to be living a way more humble lifestyle to stay relatable

When did pranks go from scaring someone with a mask to faking suicide..

Stone age acting skills lol, why pay to watch a comedy when you can just watch these cavemen 😆

This is why Charlie is an actor, a freaking Legend

"If it was my brother I'd be freaking out"
"I know, I am" *continues to try to figure out how feelings looks like*

You can make jokes about a lot of things, but there’s still a line that you can cross, and suicide is one of them. You don’t joke about something like that.

It is *genuinely impressive* that Charlie has more emotion and charisma than Lucas, who is reading a _suicide_ letter...

10:00 “If my brother left me, I’d be freaking out” Definitely doesn’t sound like he is misspeaking! That’s definitely not his bro. Lol I thought the same shit! Lol.

0:55 nah how’s he just flexing his muscle

Imagin being the parents of these dudes, and suddenly your sons call you up laughing there asses off about how they just faked each other’s death on Clip-Share

All around 8:54 I was laughing so hard lmao

The saddest part is listening to him read this. These guys are obviously not the smartest people but holy fuck, the fact he struggled to read such simple fucking words is honestly astonishing, he literally is like a 2nd grader making Clip-Share videos

as someone whos attempted suicide before and battles thoughts daily, wow. ppl will literally do ANYTHING for clout. this is fukd man wowowow

Omg what if some kids replicated the joke, think about their parents' stress

They really put a toy grave stone in a suicide prank bro 💀

I had my best friend kill herself 8 months ago I’m still dealing with it. Kinda sucks seeing people fake it for views

As a person who had their twin commit suicide almost 18 years ago, this boils my blood so fucking much.

As someone who hasn’t lost anyone close yet, even I’m sane enough to know not to fuck around like this.
