I love how he literally tells him how to escape and the guy still doesn’t take his advice.
That was all a part of the plan to seem like an idiot, so the captor would lower hus guard

That's when you know he just wasn't even in his league
Alternate title: Confuse the villain so much that they believe letting you go is actually worse than killing you.
Or or hear me out:When they let the intern disguise as the hero so the villain is confused on how he became the hero
But if you think about it, letting someone that dense go is worse, since then you're making the rest of the world keep dealing with them.
You have successfully confused me
@@Malkontent1003 yeah but atleast you wouldnt have to deal with them
And that is exactly why he is a villian.
He is eeevvvviiiiiilllll~
I was expecting this to be a case - as actually seen in a lot of movies - where the villain's motive actually feels more sensible, noble, and well-intentioned than the hero's. But this is good too, villain is actually competent. Keep in mind certain sacred laws of villainy must be upheld. In particular the villain must monologue their entire plan to the hero before killing them, and cannot kill them directly but must place them in predicaments likely to kill them and from which escape is unlikely but possible.
Wait is that a HISHE reference?
@@VoidKing666 I wasn't thinking about HISHE, but they might refer to similar, I think they have a few times. More like both me and HISHE thinking the same thing, not me directly referencing them.
What I'm thinking of is how in a lot of cases the villain actually has some really valid points, and in many cases their cause actually feels more justified than the hero's. In many cases the villain is an activist of some sort, trying to right a wrong, to liberate an oppressed people, to tear down harmful institutions, and so on. The hero is trying to uphold the status quo, to keep everything the way it is - for better, or in some cases, for worse. Could argue the traditional heroes aren't so much "good" as "lawful." And especially in more recent times where people have realized that the status quo, institutions the heroes defend, and even laws are in some cases very unjust, the "villain's" motives actually feel more justified than the "hero's." So in many cases movies have to find ways of ensuring the villain stays the "bad guy" by having them use unacceptable means to attempt to achieve their sensible ends. This isn't true of all villains, others are just power-hungry maniacs or seeking revenge over something silly, but those aren't as compelling.
@@quillmaurer6563 Cool. Yeah I got your point, but I was just wondering about a double meanjng
When Aquaman becomes King Of Atlantis but never forces the land dwellers to reduce pollution:
This time the audience's expectations were... subverted.
I was expecting more of a “the villans motives actually makes more sense than the hero’s” kinda video but this works
Same.
yea i thought the guy in the chair was the villain for 3/4ths of the video bcz of that lol
Same
That's just the plot of Infinity War and End Game lol
@@MsKJackson831 thanos plan didn’t make much sense. Especially since his whole plan was the furthest thing from sustainable. The Human race alone could easily repopulate back to previous numbers within a decade and it was incredibly easy for the Avengers to find him.
The title should be "when the hero tells all his plans to the villain"
Yeah, title makes no sense. Maybe Zach was high when he titled this.
It's meant to poke fun of stupid movie conveniences that help the main characters progress, there was no way to be able to display this without the hero saying what would happen and what he'll do out loud
@@Klokinator no it does. the villain is usually an idiot who leaves the hero a way out for no reason
@@thatguy1806 I know lol just a joke. same way he exaggerated for the fun of it, I exaggerated a little for the comment
@@Jromestrings it appeared to me you seriously thought the idea of this video is stupid, and the reply right after your comment just confirmed it
Now that we know this is the TSA dude, everything makes so much more sense.
Yo fr fr lmfao
And then he looks at the hyperlink
I love it when CZcamsrs make callbacks in their videos but this is the first time I’ve watched any content by this guy so I’m super confused.
Excuse me, what is TSA?
?
Villains usually makes more sense, because they're visionaries.
The problem is, their ideas are in most cases highly extreme, so "good guy" stops them.
Are there any movies where it's instead the hero that's some extreme visionary?
Because honestly they usually are IRL. Martin Luther King, Jesus, Joan of Arc, etc. All considered visionaries at times.
@@japanpanda2179 Um, a lot. Any dystopian film, star wars original trilogy, any Robin Hood film, many mad max films, the matrix, you can even count the Christopher Nolan batman movies.
The stories where the hero isn't the visionary is one's where they are fighting to preserve the world the way it is. The ones where heroes are visionaries are ones where the worldis harsher.
Also visionaries can be evil. Mao Zedong, Genghis Khan, the Catholic Monarchs (Feedinand II and Isabella I), were all visionaries as well.
@@phabiorules I resent the assertion that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were evil. I know why you say that, but I disagree. I am not exactly unbiased as a Catholic myself of course but to put them on the level of Mao and Genghis Khan is preposterous. By the most conservative estimates 15,000,000 people starved over a four year period under Mao, and Genghis Khan is estimated to be responsible for 40,000,000 deaths and during his life raped so many women that today 1 out of 200 men are descended from him.
@@codieomeallain6635 that fun fact at the end was hilariously terrifying
@@yourmother595 Yup. And there is no way of knowing how many women are his descendants because the relation is tracked through the Y chromosome. Further fun fact, the most extreme estimates for how many starved to death under Mao are 55,000,000 in 2 years.
Usually the villain makes the mistake of sharing their whole plan.
Why even capsure the hero, just kill him.
The villiain to trigger happy about everything but when it goes with the hero they took their time
@@paradoxzee6834 immediately killing an enemy only serves as a merciful act of kindness actually, which any vengeful and purposeful typical villains will avoid. Thus the kidnapping, torturing, or hostage situation. It's just a psychological warfare to get the utmost wicked pleasure out of weakening the enemy mentally, before finally taking their life. And yeah that's why they prepared for a very long time just to get more time before the killing. I say, they're more meticulous and organised than the swashbuckling impulsive heroes who immediately smash and slash when it's time for action.
But yeah it'll be uselessly stupid if after all that perfect plan is executed flawlessly, they'll even overshare it with the mortal enemy just because.
Faxs lmao 🤣
@@MollyHJohns it’s either this reason
Or either the main character has plot armor
Or making a dialogue before killing their opponent even though that said opponent is already on their knees
"I'll call the cops"
"there we go"
"and maybe they'll find my pocket knife"
This sums up every single 90's movie
the villain's disappointment was visible there 😂😂🤣
@@cebokhumalo602 Would you say that his disappointment was immeasurable and his day was ruined?
@@dansattah you crazy son of a gun... You're a bloody genius 😂😂😂
He said *and I'll ask them to find my pocketknife*
Like what 90s movie?
Now that I think about it, the ONLY reason good guys escape is because the bad guys never tied them or backup. (Ok, maybe not FORGETTING to tie the hero, but more like some blatantly obvious thing that the bad guy forgot that let the good guy to escape)
Batman an escape artist: *Am I a joke to you?*
UHHHH
That's like, the exact opposite of what happens. You clearly don't read a lot of fiction
@@stygianmoon1716 it’s usually some stupid thing the villain forgot or didn’t notice and then the main character escapes. This video hit the nail on the head
@@philmybutup4759 truee, but usually that's in Hollywood movies or smth. I've never read about a villain fOrgEtTiNg to tie the hero, like wtf, you had one job
That's the hallmark of bad writing. A good escape is a flaw in the other's thinking. That is something they don't understand associated with their personality or beliefs.
This is actually a speedrunning exploit where you can keep talking to the villain so the scene never ends, allowing the player to skip the basement transport event trigger after 3 minutes. Since the player is past the basement transport scene but still in the basement, it automatically triggers the basement breakout event and the NPCs who spawn to break the player out are actually invincible and deal MAX_VALUE damage so they'll one-shot the villain which triggers the ending cutscene, saving a whole 23 hours of gameplay.
Wow....
this is basically what waiting at pagan min’s table does
@@velvetsky3451 You mean the good ending?
@@toolatetothestory yep
Alternative title:
Villain slowly realizes that he accidentally kidnapped a mentally ill man instead of his intended target.
Plot twist: That was the legit protagonist.
He meant to get the comic relief who’s basically Superman with extra Deity sauce.
Yes I described them like food, I’m just hungry, okay?
Me : I think the villain is making some good points

Things the hero learned here:
-the villain does not carry a gun
-he is being kept in a basement
-the villain drives an f150
-the villain owns an iPhone
If he ever does escape, all he has to do is check a list of iPhone owners who were in the area when he was kidnapped, cross-reference it with a list of people who own F150s, and he has a really good chance of positively identifying his kidnapper. Meanwhile, the kidnapper thinks he's an idiot, and will likely not kill him for "knowing too much"
Dont forget that basements are rarer in some places than others, so if you're lucky enough to be in one said place, you could also cross reference houses with basements and their owners
Uhhhhh...
If this was Texas, Florida, California, or basically any state in the US or Canada, your entire plan fails
@@SkylineLofe Not really? Most people don't own F150's, and very few places actually have basements these days. Plus, he does know what the dude looks like. So uh... that makes it easier?
Don’t forget his kidnapper looks just like him.
@@nickcarroll8565 Everyone looks just like him...
I love the idea of a narcissistic overconfident delusional immature hero vs a competent villain who just doesn't give a shit.
So Toktoker Gen Z vs Villian
The "What a callback" turn and stare at the Going through TSA video highlight was Chef's Kiss.
2:12 THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HIS TSA VIDEO LMAO
Ik it makes it so much better
“I’ll Hotwire your f150”
“Do you know how to Hotwire a car”
“I’ll steal your phone and google how to Hotwire a car” lmaooo
I really appreciate a good, realistic villain. Too bad most movie makers are too lazy to work out a protagonist capable of handling such a thing. Instead, we just get villains we're supposed to feel sympathetic toward. It's okay that the good guy isn't better than the bad guy if the bad guy has a tragic backstory~!
Honestly, the trend of humanizing a villian is getting old. I get it, people were getting tired of generic villians and they wanted them to be sympathetic in order to paint a shade of gray instead of making it black and white. However, the purpose of a villian is to provide a sense of conflict for the hero. We know the hero is going to win, so why not make the villian an awful, intelligent, worthy foe that the audiences hates so much, they want see then lose.
I raise you - The Incredibles! Syndrome both has a sympathetic backstory, logical plans and consistent morals. Plus he's genuinely threatening, trying to kill a plane with kids on it? Syndrome is probably my favourite villain in any film NGL.
Also, Megamind has a fantastic villain-antihero arc while keeping villains both threatening and understandable
"Too bad most movie makers are too lazy to work out a protagonist capable of handling such a thing".
Because that thing is impossible to handle. If a villain is 100% competent, they're completely unbeatable.
@@phabiorules "So why not make the villain an awful, intelligent foe that the audiences hate so much, they want to see them lose".
I think you meant to say "that the audiences absolutely love, and want to see them win".
Everyone loves the villain. No one likes the heroes. Ever.
@@facundomontivero2299 I do like it when the villain wins sometimes, it just spices things up
Great channel, man. I’ve been watching for a while, I enjoy the comedy!
Hi
Never expected to see you in a Zach Star comment section lmaoo
lol 3rdddd boissss
Hello coach
Yeah but what if the hero has trained FO DA STREETS??? How about that?
Nice to see the roles reversed, when the villain tells the good guys what their plans are. Nice to see a smart villain
"When the villain makes more sense than the good guy" sounds like a scene where the villian's plan makes sense and the good guy lets him do it.
Honestly, this hero is a genius. By pretending to be dumb, he's getting all sorts of valuable personal information about the villain that he can use to track him down later on. He doesn't suspect a thing. If you really think about it, who's the idiot here?
Sorta like thieram and jinx in arcane
You, since you think the villain doesn't know these things. They actually gave false information for every answer.
The guy in the chair is the idiot. He already knows who kidnapped him and why, and still wants to track his kidnapper down by a convoluted set of unrelated data.
@@davidwuhrer6704 What if he has prosopagnosia
@@toolatetothestory Then he still knows his identity and the exact location of his secret lair.
Quality content as always, keep it up!
I like how the villain actually gives him a great idea, and then the “hero” turns it into something stupid. Like my mans, you had assistance from your captor and still can’t get it right 💀
1:16 Love how the antagonist's confused about the grappling hook but not the parachute and literal jetpack 💀
Perfect villain formula:
Step 1: Give them ideal goals that make heroes question why they oppose the villain
Step 2: Have them uncharacteristically kill a random innocent to make it personal
Since the TSA guy exploded in the previous video we can assume he'll actually manage to escape the bad guy and return to work at the airport until his death.
Now the question is how the hell did he managed to escape.
I NEED ANSWERS
Of course he survived the explosion.
The explosives were in a trash can!
@@timurtheterrible4062 not just trash can it was trash can of invincibility
This is the guy who was taking to him on the phone
My god I hope he turns this into long time series
Well he was right about the explosives, maybe he was right and underestimated about his escape
I was hoping that the bad guys evil plot actually made sense for a good systemic change.
I mean, the bad guy hasn't killed the hero yet so we can only assume he sent him to therapy
or a psych ward.
Is it just me, or is having two trackers in each pocket so your captors give up searching you when they find one of them weirdly genius?
To be fair he got the villian to tell how exactly he could get out of their.
Alternate Title: when the villain isn't stupid.
"Oh my god, that's soooo annoying!"
I don't think he wants to kill him at that point! 😂
You think the captive is clueless, but once you learn he's in the TSA it all makes sense.
"In order to get across the alligator infested moat..."
"There's no moat!"
THEN WHAT KIND OF VILLAIN ARE YOU!?! Jeez, the guy strapped in the chair may be an idiot, but at least he's thinking!!
There is no moat.
But there is an alligator.
lmao the gasp and the “He’s infringing on my rights!” 😂
I have no idea how you still surprise me after every single video of yours I've come across.
"Then I'll go back to my job at the TSA."
"What a callback."
*Me, who has never seen a video from this channel until now: "I have no context for what you speak of."
This has some serious Archer vibes, and I'm digging it.
1:50 The villian gets so annoyed that he's practically helping the hero to be more "logical".
part of the master plan
How is this guy not having a million subscribers already??? Seriously this guy is posting amazing quality content everyday!!! Just make him famous already!!!
He is famous on his other channel where he does like math and stuff so ye
Legend says that they are still talking about his inevitable escape.
Man this guy is so underrated. He has dope transitions and hilarious contents.
You know… Thanos had a point, but he should’ve just made half of the universe sterile. 🤣
That's pretty much what the "villain" in Attack on Titan tried to do to solve the whole Titan problem. The sterelization plan is basically long-term genocide though, but the "villain's" brother wanted to solve things faster, so the whole plan went down the toilet.
@@japanpanda2179 So you're saying a group of elites and rich people making the common folk kill eachother is right?
@@japanpanda2179 Yeah, except in this scenario neither you or me would be part of that world because we would be among the mobs of people gutting eachother in the streets.

Reminds me of the Joker. He was supposed to be the bad guy everyone hated yet I understood him more and sympathized more than with any good guys.
This whole thing plays like a Red Vs. Blue bit and I love it.
I can imagine Washington having this exact conversation just about any of them but especially Donut, Caboose, and Grif
I love how he references yesterday’s video and puts it where he’s looking at the end
That last line was well played
“I don’t even know where you’d get a grappling hook.. Do they have that on Amazon?” 😂😂😂😂
Usually, it's the villain who tells the hero all of their plans
You know when you think about it, the gun has bigger hit box than the bullet.
Bigger hitbox, smaller range
Bigger hit box, less range, damage, and speed.
would've been funnier if he said "then i'll ask the police how to hijack an f 150"
Get the villain to think you’re so pathetic to lower his guard….genius
Reminds me of every Disney villain telling the hero all his evil plans.....
This is the best chemistry I’ve ever seen
People try so much to not make a stupid, predictable and 2 dimensional villain they forget the hero should be well written too
These are hilarious, you just earned yourself another sub👍🏽😂 gonna be binge watching these for a while
I was expecting the guy actually escapes and punch the evil one and says "make the villain monologue always works".
"Your whole lives you're told to be good, but good is only a matter of perspective. Always remember your enemies think they're doing what's right. They think they're the hero and you're the villain. Now you know the truth. There is no good, there is no bad, only weak or strong." -John Kreese.
The hero only ever escapes cause the bad guy are just.... bad at their job, huh?
I was expecting this to be like when the villain is a lot more morally justified than the hero, this was still funny tho.
“Oh my god we found it we don’t even have to check the other...”
great line and better delivery
1:50 Sometimes heros are idiots.
Sometimes people misspell "heroes".
Another hilarious video!
It hadn't even been out long enough to watch
@@notthebees4961 I know but his videos are always funny
I love how he ghost goes with the jet pack but then questions the grappling hook. 😂

I love this. Wish it was longer.
Villains always make more sense than the "good guy" which is why I always root for the "villain"
Same
Sometimes I do the same, especially for newer movies. Ever seen Kingsman: the Secret Service? That's one movie where the villain was definitely right.
And they usually have very good reason to be who they are, and do what they do. That's more morally compelling and attractive than the perfectly vanilla good guys.
@@japanpanda2179 don't think I seen that one, I don't really watch Hollywood movies anymore, atleast not modern ones because they are so stupid or boring
@@japanpanda2179 Wasn't the villain's plan in that movie to get a bunch of elites and rich people to a bunker and make the common folk brutally kill eachother with some fucked up serum?
Honestly he isn't even the villain here, he's just restraining someone who's on bath salts.
“I don’t know where you could get a grappling hook- wait, do they have that on Amazon?”
this guy is gold
Literally straight gold
It’s usually the opposite, villain explaining all his plans to the hero after kidnapping them
I love scenes where someone’s just doing other things while winning a conversation.
I like how he went with the jetpack idea but called him out on where he'd get a grappling hook.
Idk guys but i think you're more likely to find a grappling hook than a jetpack just lying around.
I like how all the videos have references to previous videos
This is not only totally accurate, but the funniest video I've seen all day!
literally the plot of every single hollywood action film
This is a scenario where the protagonist role were swapped
When the villain is competent
Such a beautiful story.If this was a movie it would be my favorite movie
You actually made me search if they had grappling hooks on amazon.
finally a villian that takes care of everything
Sooo.....Side note: you CAN in fact find grappling hooks on Amazon. Who knew🤷🏾♂️
This was hilarious 😆! Thanks for sharing 👍🏿!
Thank you for the laugh. I needed it
Love ur humour bro!!
Yo our guy is making some good use of the Christmas holidays.
Usually its the other way around, with the villain telling the hero exactly what they're gonna do
You looking at the TSA video as it pops on the screen was really cool. I don't know why but little things like that just elevates a content's quality so much.
Magneto sounds more reasonable than Professor X change my mind.
Magneto is one of the Villians that makes sense to me way more than the “hero” Professor X.
The professor makes sense, he just has a little bit too much faith in humanity.
