CZcamsr who has yelled "COOOCCCAAIINNNEE!" the most times in videos. That way Guinness will have to watch literally every video Simon has made.
Let's go with this one
Absolutely 😊
Honestly, I think Joe Rogan has him beat if we’re just counting it being yelled on the show.
@@harleyjo4875 Wouldn't that be MDMA?
Most active channels?
Google says the record for most channels with over 100,000 subscribers owned by a single person is 11. Seems like a record up Simon's alley.
You mean jacksucksatlife
Woulda thought Simon has that beat
highest number of sister channels, thinning the quality down to the depths this video. first minute was all cringe.
I was going to say, the best records are ones you already hold and don't know it, and "most channels owned by a single person with over X-amount of subscribers" is surely something Simon has achieved. We just have to pay the money grubbers at Guinness.
@@joejoe2658 The first minute had me sputtering with laughter. I went to school with a kid named Hugh Dickerson, and you better believe he went by "Huge" while emphasizing the first syllable of his surname. 🤣
Simon getting trolled by the script writers is peak Brain Blaze. 😂
Carbon Dioxide poisoning : You eventually pass out. But first you choke and choke and choke whilst gasping for air. So not nice.
I think Simon was thinking of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, from which you *do* just quietly pass out.
Guinness world record for most hair products readouts presented by a bald man?
@EveryFairyDies. You should make a picture of one of the awards with this for the next Darwin Awards BB
Damn son thats brutal... but accurate
😂
I was going to say the shiniest head, but yeah.
Jessi Combs was no Darwin award contender. She was just a badass and a legend.
You do understand that Darwin awards are handed out to people that manage to remove themselves from the gene pool before they have any children, usually in an ironic way, right?
And the metalworking mentioned because she was pretty damn awesome at it
Yeah, she wasn't doing anything particularly "dumb", it was just bad luck really
Simon pretty much nailed it: "There's nothing amusing about this."
facts
Guinness world record idea: Longest tangent by someone reading a script out loud.
Trump might have that one.
@@rachelhansen2417 You would think. Except I've seen professional politicians at play, and he doesn't hold a candle to their expertise on waffling.
@@613aristocrat Waffling isn't the same as word salad.
@@pioneercynthia1 A waffle salad. Hmm. Actually, I would go for that. A dash of syrup and cream with some strawberries. Yum.
Fun fact: 5 women have competed in official Formula One Grand Prixs.
Lella Lombardi, Giovanna Amati, Desiré Wilson, Divina Galica, and Maria Teresa de Filippis.
Lombardi was the only one to score points.
Prix there’s no s on the end 👍
@@hybrid9mm Yes, the plural of Grand Prix is Grands Prix.
Record idea: The most number of writers locked in the basement.
Conflict of interest the competition to beat his number will be criminalist or into the shadows content maybe both😂😂
No one can beat EA at that one. 😂
@@ryproar11 I'm sure a certain mouse can top that.
at what point does that become an investigation?
highest number of sister channels, thinning the quality down to the depths this video. first minute was all cringe.
Jessi Combs (thumbnail) was a legend.
Yes, she was. Certainly not Darwin Award material.
Yah. She doesn't realy fit the Darwin award criteria imo
Yes she wasn't dumb.
@@AeroGuy07 Simon seems to agree, even he found it weird to be included
Yeah, Jessie was a true automotive legend.
Minecraft CZcamsr ibxtoycat did a piece on this. Basically a video game streamer payed Guinness to certify his “most stair blocks stacked diagonally in 30 seconds” record (17 or so?). ibxtoycat, being a dedicated Minecraft player, easily beat it by 4 and submitted the video to Guiness’s free record update queue; shockingly it didn’t get updated. (His video goes into more detail, I’m just going off of memory)
RIP Jessi Combs (the person in the thumbnail), she was great on Mythbusters
Kevin, man, that intro and the huge beaver thing was absolutely GOLD!
I had to re-start the video because I couldn't stop laughing at Huge Beaver. I don't why.... It was really Simon's reaction... So, I re-started the video. Still laughing... 😂😂😂
Oh gosh, I was listening while washing dishes and had to stop the video and turn off the water as I laughed so hard. I went to school with a kid named Hugh Dickerson, and you better believe he went by "Huge" while emphasizing the first syllable of his surname.
Surely Simon could get an award for highest number of monetized CZcams Channels with over #### subscribers owned ( or created, hosted, etc.) by a single presenter. Just keep narrowing it down until he wins a category.
Look there's a record and it's currently 11 therefore, Simon needs to make one more successful channel
Most words spoken on the internet and he’d probably win tbh
That one could work, actually.
most fact video's with incorrect facts. There must be quite some stuff that has been proven wrong.
Longest intro's. (GO Danny!)
Most skipped intro's
Most script slaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Per video! Bring back the slapping of the scripts!!!!! Or slap something that is more sustainable and reusable but has the same look and feel just for the visual and auditory effect
The Mythbusters younger crew dying is still sad, it wasn't just the one.
We used to watch it in Science class. Everyone I knew was just devastated every time.
I only just learnt that Grant died too. I’m devastated. I loved those guys 😢
@@Vee_of_the_WealdAdam, talked about losing Grant it was tragic on his YT channel. Yes really awful to lose them both.
I only heard last year that Grant died, don't know how, but really sad
@@MorbinNecrim86I'm pretty sure Grant died from a brain aneurysm.
@@unkledoda420 oh. Thank you, either way it really sucks
World Record Idea: most viewers Pavlov'd into hearing the Mesothelioma Can-Can when someone around them coughs or clears their throat. YOU'RE ALL WELCOME!
I told my wife and friends about how often that gag shows up…and then it vanished and I was all heartbroken. And then it came back. YAY!!!
@@eeik5150 Don't worry, it may disappear for a while, but I'll always bring it back. Just to annoy people.
Been re-watching the Myth Busters, and I’m at the season where Jesse comes in for the year, I had no idea she was killed in a crash years ago
Jessie and Grant have both passed since the show ended
@@danihall8396😮 Grant too?! wtf 😢
Grant died of an aneurysm. He was 49 😕
Ya was a big deal in the car world most of us grew up watching her career grow
Damn! I didn't even know they had gone.
Guinness world record idea: most money ever spent to get a Guinness word record.
Most money taken by a youtube copyright claim.
I believe the Guinness Word Record is held by pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, so you'd have to figure out what the bribe is for OED and Webster to approve your new longer word, and that would probably be the world record for the most money spent for a word record.
@@katrinareads you must read a lot to have facts like that off the top of your head.
it's just gonna be Turkistand and other dictatorships
@@katrinareadsthis hill in New Zealand has a longer name...Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu 85 letters long I believe, I also believe a places name is still a word, Maybe they should rethink that record.
Jessi was nearly killed when she crashed an Audi R8 on the autobahn a few years earlier.
She was a legend in the car world.
Today I Found Out Simon has never experienced a true panic attack.
Yeah that was a bit So Dunning Kruger, he's never experienced it so doesn't think it can happen !? WTH
Me: Watching a Simon video from another channel
YT: Brain Blaze video drops
Me: "Sorry, Simon, it's a BB video" _click_
Simon isn't upset with you for allowing that dastardly Simon to distract you from his good friend Simon. He is disappointed though. 😢
Samzies
Yeah he wants a world record but he already has one "Most CZcams Channels"
Welcome to another Installment of "ChatGPT and Me" Simon's ongoing human on AI romance.
I may have to make a new meme for it next time Simon uses ChatGPT….
@@EveryFairyDies That'd be Amazing
@@EveryFairyDiesplease call it the Simon and ChatGPT show like a sitcom lol
@@thegreenbee83 I will ask ChatGPT to come up with a suitably sitcom-y name!
I love that everyone knows Scranton as the setting of "The Office" and not as the birthplace of the current president of the United States.
because "The Office" makes more sense than our current President and when Steven Carell makes strange noises or mumbles words, the world knows that it's SUPPOSED to be funny, lol.
You can absolutely have a heart attack from fear. There's a well known case of this woman who was terrified of bunjee jumping but her boyfriend convinced her to try it. She misheard the person who was hooking her up and jumped too early. The autopsy said she died of a heart attack on the way down because of how scared she was once she realized what she had done.
I remember Jessie being on Mythbusters, she was really good.
Yeah she wasn't Darwin award level stupid, she was well trained and taking a calculated risk. Sadly just didn't pan out, RIP Jessie😞
Taking any risk above normal life deliberately is ignorant and stupid unless it's to save others.
@@womble321 that just, like, your opinion. Man.
Careful with their logo in the thumbnail, they've been known to claim videos for as little as that.
Oh man that’s true…
Oh I am sure Simon would either just delete the video or sue guiness xd
@@NightridingDoom That's one way to set a world record
They are shit. And need money from somewhere.
@NightridingDoom deleting a video doesn't lift the claim, and a court process is long and expensive and you don't even profit from the video till its over.
Are they sure the rope in that tug of war one never broke the sound barrier? The sound of a whip cracking is literally caused by the movement of the whip breaking the sound barrier and causing a miniature sonic boom, so if a rope breaking causes a loud crack, it's not exactly unlikely that the same thing is happening there...
It was definitely a sonic boom. It doesn't have to be a jet, obviously. That one after the Beirut explosion a few years ago was quite astonishing, though, and yet, many people believed it was a *second* explosion. #science #smh
Also, that needs to be a new T-shirt in the Whisterzon.
A whip can break the sound barrier because it's tapered. You can impart a lot of energy into that wave, and it gets funneled down to a very small mass at the tip. High energy and small mass means high velocity. It's unlikely a constant diameter rope would break in a way to produce the same effect.
Once again Lorelei’s editing is 🔥
I love how this show allows you guys to showcase your talents and skills. It’s lightening in a bottle .
Simon wonders what he can enter for the world record.... heres a lazy suggestion that you already have, "The most CZcams Channels, Simon Whistler, Number of official channels - 6969"
Nice
I thought Simon already had the most channels on CZcams 🤷♀️ Problem solved 😊
Nice
The people who own the 5 minute craft videos and farm using probably hundreds of channels by now would sadly win. Currently someone named Jack Massey Welsh holds the title.
Most with original made content?
Most unique (i.e. not the same clip repeated) uses of the word “allegedly” in a single CZcams video or channel by single presenter (some combination of those factors would probably qualify) 😹
When I was young, a guy my dad knew a guy, who tried to get in the Guinness Record book, but they refused to acknowledge his record, because they deemed it to dangerous and feared someone trying to beat the record.
The record was laying on a bed of nails with the least number of nails, he used 4 nails and was a professional magician/side show performer.
I physically cringed reading this. 4 nails? Ughhhh that’s terrible
Worlds longest tangent making fun of the Guinness World Record adjudicators
Simon always talks about how he reads a script then forgets it. He hasn’t forgot that Pedro Lopez script and it’s been like 2 years now.
And his scale of 1 to Pedro Lopez 😂😂😂😂
To be fair, there’s every reason why he wouldn’t forget Pedro Lopez. The level of depravity of the guy is staggering. Simon’s big empathy means he physically “felt” it
I avoided that video for good reason.
I can't blame him. That's the one video I wish I'd skipped.
One of the few things that I like more than listening to this Factboy, is watching Lorelei's editorial take on that Factboy. 😆
I have a fun job! Thanks!
I was just watching a Blaze from a month ago and reading the comments, thought id pop on over to the newest one to say BIG THANKS to all the writers and editors I hope y'all see and hear the love from everyone who watches Brain Blaze.
Guinness World Record for Most Tangents in CZcams videos.
Might belong to Karl Smallwood.
when i was a youngster, the internet was printed in a series of books that a door to door salesman convinced my parental figures to buy at least 27 regular and 4 special editions of . . . for money amount I did not know, but it was a world of printed amazement (nothing as good as the swimsuit edition of National Geographics) but still awing and heavy . . . and committed to a trash heap at some point.
FUNK AND WAGNALLS ENCYCLOPEDIA SHOUT OUT!!
As a child, I stored my Britannica Printed Internet on shelves in my room.
Read each one front to back, a couple of times.@@pioneercynthia1
"Getting answers from ChatGPT hosted by Simon Whistler" new SW channel inbound
Simon's potential Guiness World records:
Most tangents by a single youtube creator.
Most mispronunciations by a single youtube creator.
Most channels by a single youtube creator.
Hang on a second - who paid the Guinness guy to come out and verify the most prolific serial killer??
They had a disclaimer that no one profited from that record. Same with the record for most prolific executioner.
Liam, Simon should resurrect some of his dead CZcams channels and become the person with the most active CZcams channels
Bring back xplrd.
Including Visualpolitik?
Wait, which ones are gone and which ones are left?
I am a prime example of out of sight out of mind unfortunately.
@@rodepet The ones he didnt own are still around, top tenx, biographics, geographics etc, the owner died and his daughter took over and there was a bit of drama.
I believe simon left visualpoliticEN because he was swamped with his own channels and wanted to concentrate on those,
then thers xplrd which was simons IIRC as well as the 'simon whistler' channel which had a single upload.
Lorelei's editing is Killer!
Thank you!
13:41 - HECK! ChatGPT sounds SURREAL! The way it opens up with "Yeah you've touched on a...", plus pauses, and inflections... Sheesh! 😎🇬🇧
Guinness idea: most luxurious beard on a CZcamsr.
Lorelie the best as always. I love her high effort edits. Too bad Australian internet is slow we can't see her more.
Aw, thanks! And my internet has been mad at me the last few days over that Aussie video... 🤣
The neon genesis intro to a tanget (6:47) is fantastic.
21:59 i absolutely love all.the edits in these videos.
Thank you!
Yes Simon, I am. Now hold still, I can't hold the cheese grater and the bottle of lemon juice and you at the same time.
digital cat face during the fat cat running "demonstration" won the episode
There was a guy who fell into a drain thing, except instead of a regular drain it was the drain for an industrial boiler. He was stuck in there, alive, for over half an hour. They lowered a rope in but he was too badly burned at that point to hold on. The fun thing about boiling water is that it isn't hot enough to destroy pain neurons like how fire can, so you fully feel everything the entire time.
You just get boiled alive for potentially hours.
12:10 I am a big fan of Jessie's :) .. The "Metal Work" she did was PART of her "TV Personality" job .. it's described in Canada as a "Master Fabricator" ... or something like an Automotive, "Master Fitter / Welder" in the UK ??
But yeah the main bit , is she welded and modified cars and trucks for off road use on the TV Show.
Guinness suggestions:
- Most channels hosted by a single person?
- Most new members gifted/gained in a single livestream? (From one of the grateful giftees 😎)
P.s. the cat filter over Simon was hilarious, thank you editor!! More of that please 🙏😂
Awwww, so excited to see both Lower Decks and Horrible Histories edited in 😂
Two excellent shows I love to watch!
rip lower decks 😢
@@santa1563 Ugh, I know. So sad they're gonna end it next season. But I have hope they'll do the series justice.
6:39 .. There was a wiener dog so fat in our neighbourhood in Toronto, they had t tie a roller skate to it's stomach so his belly was abraded by the pavement.
If the skate came loose, he would just lay down until someone re-tied it! :)
Add a tiny tech deck skateboard to pet turtles and they zip around. Similar idea 😂
Poor dog. That level of obesity is cruel
"Largest crowd to heckle a Guinness World Record official."
Guiness award: Most CZcams channels. Come on
I was going for the channel with as much stupid crap as possible. It could be a dual award
Yeah not sure rewarding this particular behavior is anything other then Big Media Networks, 1000000000 teens in their room or neighborhoods creating a shit ton of channels everyday, and Simon.
Dying from fear is absolutely a thing, it happens FAR more frequently than people think. Firefighters rescue people frequently who still die.. not from smoke inhalation or burns, but heart attacks from the fear of dying in the fire.
Nah
"Most insults hurled at a Guinness Book of World Records Adjudicator"
Sounds like a record straight up Simon's alley.
I dont feel Jessie deserves a darwin award
Darwin Awards, you know em, you love em. Thank you Simon and Kevin.
🤣 that Baldur's Gate 3 cutscene 🤣
And that, my friend, is the scene that sucked me into the BG3 world... WAIT, THAT CAME OUT WRONG! Or did it?
Yeah, now I need to start a new playthru as a male shapechanger. And as I type this I feel dirt.
Watching Simon discover the patriarchy through F1 was highly amusing
Idea for for a GWR: Most videos made by a person whose name is an anagram for "ow son, im hitler"
So the person's name is Simon Whitler? Or is it Imon Whistler?
😂😂😂
Sorry, I meant to write Soimon Whitler... or Imon Whoistler?
Dear Lorelei (Not-Sam), I have had such a bad week, thank you for the memes. Especially the first one (Dr. Who) 💙 And the Monty Python one was fitting, considering Simon's recent rant about that exact line in a member's stream. Not sure if it lines up in real life with the release schedule, but in my head cannon, you did it on purpose lol.
Hey Darker! Sucks you've been having a bad week, but I'm glad I was able to make you smile! You got this, my friend. Hold the line, it'll get better. ❤🤘
@@EveryFairyDies Thanks! Soon as I saw Dr. Who I knew things were looking up! Lol
@@EveryFairyDies Edits are beyond on fire this week.
@@pioneercynthia1 Thank you!
"COME HERE BINGO"
We know who was watching bluey 🤣
Presenter with the most CZcams channels would be an easy win, and you wouldn't have to do anything. Perfect for you Simon.
How do you not have the "Nice beaver" joke from The Naked Gun in the intro?
I haven't seen that movie since the 90s, my bad!
You leave Jessie Combs alone! Lol She was a badass. And yes, some of us are very familiar with Mythbusters.
So many men have died doing this, yet we focus on Jessie? Why?
Yeah that’s what I was thinking while seeing the thumbnail,feels disrespectful
A mystery. The prophecy foretold this mystery can only be solved by reading the bloody title of the video.
The "Sir Huge Beaver" google search at the end had me in tears, best closing edit ever
Thank you!
Simon: What is the worst way to die?
Me: Pedro Lopez.
I want a Horrible Histories reboot!!!! ❤
Jessi doesn't need a Darwin award. She was just a badass who died doing what she loved, and it was tragic.
Another bang up job by Lorelei!
Thanks, Count Smackula!
fun fact: burying yourself alive used to be an old sideshow stunt you might see at a fair. Tod Browning, the director of Dracula made his living doing this before becoming a director.
The stuff with Jesse feels out of touch and pretty low. Not less a fan of the channel but I'm confused it went through. It's not just because Jesse is known by a lot of us but also that speed records are a legitimate engineering and technological challenge. I don't see it the same as any of the silly stuff. Are we going to start counting mountaineers, astronauts etc and anyone else who braves the limits of what people can achieve as Darwin awards?
There's the tragedy of it but also the ignorance of acting like this type of thing is the same as the guy who kept sending himself out to sea in a giant floating hamsterball.
Very well said and very fucked up, with a very hard f u c k e d.
I think that Kevin was the one with this take, not Simon. Simon didn't seem to like that take.
The "meme" part with her face was kinda in poor taste
@@ps374249 Im aware, not pointing fingers or trying to shame though pretty sure he's had cracker scripts. A bad take from time to time isn't a crime, we all do it, just feel this may have been a case that unnecessarily leaves a sour taste.
While I agree that this is in bad taste, there are those in the "same field" that deserve Darwin awards. For every group with real engineering proficiency that does their due diligence to minimize the risk of an inherently dangerous action, there's a Mad Mike or Pythom Space that have no clue what they're doing.
Since Queen Elizabeth had such a long reign, does if feel weird to English people to now say "God save the King"?
It does.
Force of habit when singing the national anthem, always stutter with Queen to King
A Brain Blaze that's edited by Lorelei. Top tier content. Also, guinness world record for most CZcams channels owned or most successful channels owned (after figuring out what "successful" means)
The intro for "getting answers from GPT" was solid!
A collaborative effort between myself and Julian!!! Unless... we really are the same person...
RIP Jessi
I feel bad that the editor had to do all that additional searching, you could do SOME work Simon. ;)
Yeah! Making me search and type like some kind of Google Monkey! 🤣
The caving disaster Simon is referring to at 18:10 is the Nutty Putty Cave incident.
Simon's world record should be most CZcams channels with a silver play button
Jessi Combs is a Freaking Legend!
Mesothelioma just killed my dad. Thanks for that
Did he work with asbestos? Because you might be entitled to financial compensation.
@@TheOrichalcononly if he calls now
@@TheOrichalcon all sorted
Thanks 😊
Lorelei takes it up to a whole other meme level. Again! Well done, Madam Editor! EFD rocks and rules!
Aw, thanks! ❤🤘
Simon - the most CZcams channels for 1 person.
You could already be the winner
You are treading on thin ice with Jessi Combs. She is a loved person in car culture of America. Car culture USA. Let that soak in for a minute.
And?
Jesse was no darwin and was a certified badass. RIP Legend
Proudly brought to you by the person who holds the Guinness World Record for Most CZcams Channels!
😁
If heart attacks from fear were a thing I should have had one bungee jumping.
Jessi didn't deserve to be on this. She was a professional who had things go wrong. Motorsport is dangerous but dont think that people are being careless or stupid.
Jessi didn’t deserve this, she isn’t a Darwin winner, but a woman that unfortunately passed pursuing her passions. Metal worker was mentioned, because she was dam good at it and made some real art. She was a visionary for many and I certainly wouldn’t be upset if my own daughter decided to follow a similar path.
Simon with the cat face was hilarious! Please do it more often!
That huge beaver bit was great. I bet Kevin knew you'd look it up.
LOW CLASS PUTTING JESSIE IN THE THUMBNAIL.
I scrolled by the video and said "they did NOT put Jessie as the thumbnail of a Darwin Awards video!" Not cool
Jessi combs should not be your thumbnail or on this list.
3:58 "Most script slaps in a CZcams video."
Obviously.
The record for the longest tangent away from a topic HAS to be your Guiness record.
Yeah screw you guys for putting Jessi Combs on this list, she was awesome and out there pushing limits. Hardly deserves to be declared a Darwin award.
