  • When a human and a vampire love eachother very much: They do the mash, they do the monster mash
  • @sharko5730
    me: oh cool, Dracula cereal for kids matt: goes through my entire AP history class in 14 minutes and 33 seconds
  • @Iam-tq6lg
    I love how he fires the wolf then uses his catch phrase.
  • @Phantom9252
    I clicked this video expecting to learn some horrifying secret about how General Mills once used slave labor to make it's cereals or something..... instead I got MatPat's breakfast cereal mascot fanfiction.
  • @thegreatknowing
    Imagine designing a character for some cereal, just for some guy to call him inbred
  • Count Dracula could sleep in a bed and didn't necessarily need to sleep in a coffin regain his strength. It was the Transylvanian soil that he needed to sleep under so really the coffin is an option to do so easily. It sounds like a weakness when you say he can't sleep in a bed. However the story can be made funnier if you keep that idea in it. Dracula entered the bedroom. "Oh no beds. My only weakness"

    When I was a kid, the monster cereals were on the selves all the time. I used to get them often. They were my favorite.
  • @solarrex4862
    Count chochula's mother is a vampire and his father is a human... This gives me hotel transylvania vibes
  • @thatonedodo8610
    New theory: Mat created food theory so he can write his meals off as a business expense.
  • @ailsaide1680
    Am I the only one that noticed that at 3:33 he showed the Count from Sesame Street as Chocula’s dad
  • Gotta love matpat opening's to any video on food theory. This one had me laughing hard.
  • @goldenspuds9207
    MattPat: "Why is his name Count Chocula?" Me: "Because its chocolate mixed with dracu-" MattPat: "ANCESTRY" 👁👄👁
  • “He’s the effect of excessive inbreeding” “Did they breed a beaver and a vampire I just want to know.”
  • This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen you make. You, in shambles, trying to save yourself while talking about "Youtubers working together" cracked me up. Also, yes, it's definitely Habsburg, not Hapsburg. The latter seems to just be a popular albeit incorrect version of something that is "written as it sounds, but is wrong", like "could of" instead of "could've".
  • Hey Mat Pat, this was a fantastic episode. You crossed all boundaries of reality to make this happen. Amazingly done! Definitely enjoyed this! Thank you.
  • Count Chocula: has a chin Food Theorists: I'm about to end this mans whole bloodline.
  • @Narvie08
    It feels so good when someone like matpat is talking about your country, isn't it fellow hungarians?
