    Man, Antonio could not be more of a normal, innocent human
  • I love this Antonio guy, sure hope he isn't some strange entity controlling Marks life by forcing him to make negative reviews.
  • @wolfzilla8973
    Don’t know what’s worse, the evil entity forcing mark to do these videos, or the fact that I know people in real life who have this opinion.
  • @nectar6292
    1:55 if you take all the mispelled letters, it says: "host secured begin planting spore"
  • “Do they really expect us to care about a talking horse’s drinking problems? Or a sick mother who can’t afford health insurance?” That’s a low blow, Antonio. Edit: Look, even Mark gave Antonio a look that said “Wow, really man?” And then got all melancholy
  • @e.keough2975
    When Antonio said “I think you’re forgetting about something” I was so absorbed in the video that I thought he was going to say that the issue was that Mark forgot to talk about how inflation contributes to the rise in animated movie box office revenue

    I feel like Antonio is some sort of form of the Muse. He’s definitely trying to control Mark in some way, he wears all black like how the Muse is always cloaked in darkness, and he’s the one that reminded Mark to do the sponsorship for Happy Meat Farms, which created the Muse.
  • @bmo14lax
    Find yourself someone who looks at Mark the way Antonio does ❤️
  • You can see the sadness and discomfort growing on Mark's face after Antonio, who I suspect to be s form of the Mude or someond influenced by it, mentions the sick mother. It reminds him of his own mother and what he made himself go through after accepting to be controlled by the Muse. He barely was able to finish the commentary, if it wasn't for Antonio pressuring him. I've grown to feel sad about Mark, cuz unlike Alex, who chose to obey the Muse for the views, he has a genuine reason why to make a deal with the devil.

    Man, I wonder what would the like-to-dislike ratio look like if it were still visible. There's still gotta be people who don't know this is tied to an ARG
  • @thequietone6860
    I just heard about this when one of Happy Meat Farm’s human trials vid got “leaked”. And from everything I’ve seen, I agree with the people who are aware and are paying attention. Antonio doesn’t feel like a normal person, and the way Mark reacts to him is unsettling. There’s something going on. I’m so happy I’ve found this ARG and super excited to join the hunt to discovery the muse and the madness HMF is up to!
  • Ok to break the immersion for a second, both cynical and Antonio play their parts perfectly, with antonio really effectively portraying a sometimes overdone trope of the secretly nefarious “person” that is all smiles in public. 10/10 to you two and Alex bale
  • @ayyy1352
    In Alex Bale's Goofy Goober video, the random word generator has three words that stand out: "Meat", "Muse", and "Spore". In the part of the video where they show various Pixar movies, a few letters appear off and spell this out when put together, : "Host secured. Begin planting spore" Something fishy is happening.
  • @Lawnie
    This is a completely normal and not-at-all worrying update to this channel.
  • @zacka1337
    Some pretty interesting parallels when you research the plot of "Final Space", which is one of the shows Mark has a poster on his wall of. "In the midst of working off a prison sentence, an astronaut named Gary meets mysterious, planet-destroying alien Mooncake, with whom he immediately bonds. But Gary doesn't realize that his new sidekick is actually in demand by the sinister Lord Commander, who will do all he can to secure Mooncake's untapped evil powers. This animated intergalactic comedy follows Gary and Mooncake's adventures to unlock the mystery of "Final Space," where the universe ends."
  • @frosting655
    Okay Antonio is definitely controlled by the muse, maybe its using him as a way to keep mark from trying to escape
  • I honestly love the irony of Mark and Antonio claiming that "talking animals" are purely for children with both the Sonic plush and poster clearly visible in the background
  • @Bubbles-od2zm
    I feel like Antonio is behind Sonc the blue rat and whatever is making Mark do this channel in this way
  • @DemiAngel75
    its nice to finally meet anthony, too bad hes been turned into a skin suit for the muse to use, and the same thing will happen to mark or his mother if he disappoints him at any point.
