MrBeast just did the unthinkable for a YouTube video! The 25-year-old is currently in a subscriber battle with T-Series to reach the top. With only 41K subscribers separating them, the YouTuber is pulling all the stops to surpass the music label. However, his latest attempt to surpass them could have easily become his last.

He attempted to stay buried alive for 7 days. This idea might be triggering for some people, so reader discretion is advised. On the other hand, most of his fans are already loving this video as it has surpassed 8 million views in 120 minutes!

MrBeast survives under 20,000 pounds of dirt for 7 days

For his latest YouTube video, the 25-year-old buried himself alive for 7 days in a glass coffin. To survive being buried alive, the YouTuber took some MREs and Feastables snacks, a five-gallon can of water, and a briefcase marked as ‘essentials’ packed by his friends. To ensure his safety, MrBeast had someone monitoring him 24 by 7.

Taking about his game plan, he said, “The goal is to sleep as much through this challenge as possible, for my own sanity.” While MrBeast was buried alive, his friends decided to make this task more difficult for him. In a series of pranks, they ate steaks over his burying location and dug a hole to send a tiny camera down to spy on MrBeast. The next day, the group decided to make a tunnel to MrBeast’s burial point. After talking with his friends and having a good time, the 25-year-old also had an emotional breakdown.

On the night of day four, MrBeast said emotionally, “I hope tomorrow’s easier. It’s a weird feeling. I am very tired, but for some reason I can’t sleep. I don’t know. I’ve never had this happen before. Why am I crying? I don’t know.” This showed that solitude and being buried alive were taking a toll on his mental health.

What happened to the YouTuber after the emotional breakdown?

The YouTuber was feeling terrible after being under 20,000 pounds of dirt for four days, and it was visible in the video. To cheer him up, his friends shared how he was nearing the 200 million subscribers mark (the video was filmed before he crossed the mark). Kris said, to cheer up MrBeast, “It’s crazy that we used to like talk about this sitting at a lunch table and now we’re at 200 million subscribers.”

But after this fleeting moment of happiness, a wave of sadness engulfed the 25-year-old again. He said, “I’m doing my best to talk to you guys for content, but to be honest, I have like zero desire to speak.” In a last-ditch attempt to cheer him up, Nolan brought his parents to talk to MrBeast.

After 7 days of being buried alive, his friends started to dig MrBeast out. But one risk remained. After lying down for 7 days, if MrBeast stood up rapidly, fatal blood clots could form in his body. So the group first brought in a medic to check his vitals.

After getting the green light, the YouTuber finally came out and celebrated hitting 200 million subscribers. But MrBeast taking on this daunting task for his viewers has surprised many of his fans. What are your thoughts on MrBeast’s latest video? Let us know in the comments section below.
