Magnus Midtbø goes undercover climbing impossible comp boulders

I love how Magnus is faking a Swedish accent in a country where absolutely no-one will be able to tell the difference between a Norwegian and Swedish accent 😂
As a Swedish person i'm still offended! God damn norrbaggar.
true
And it's even quite good. It's forced but as a Scandinavian myself it is quite easily identifiable as a Swedish accent
I thought he was trying Welsh in the beginning 😂
It's like Will Ferrell doing fake Icelandic accent in the movie
Magnus fooling climbers with his disguises is like Perry the platypus going undercover by just putting on a fedora
😂
underrated comment
this might be the best way to describe it 😂
Or superman putting on his glasses
At this point he probably needs a bald cap and prosthetics or something
Magnus: Owns a company that sells premium grade chalk.
Also Magnus: Travels around the world and advertises his "Double Trouble" special mix. Because he takes no chances when it comes to chalk.
He's gone to so many gyms now to preach the double trouble special mix people are going to start believing him
@@Skittl1321 I like to imagine that new climbers watching this video will think that it's the right way to use chalk and start to do the same
@@asmoth360wait it's not?
"It's harder here. There is more gravity in Australia than in Sweden" I'm in tears 😂
Guy who spotted magnus early on was too polite to blow his undercover job. He knew exactly what was going on!
he knew
Most of these people knew
That was so sweet, when he was like “never mind, never mind” 😊
i mean , you can't tell me that they don't all know who he is , apart from the attempts he botched himself it's like watching a self-proclaimed newbie crush a grandmaster in chess lol
it was nice of him to not blow mega meatballs cover.
These videos have become "People pretend not to recognise Magnus for 30 mins". Also love how his signature move undercover is mixing liquid and normal chalk
If I ever see someone pour liquid chalk into regular chalk, I will assume it's Magnus. Even if the person is nine feet tall, I'll assume it's Magnus on stilts or something.
Something dies inside of me everytime
@@davidstorrs i saw someone do it in vivo. my soc anx didnt let me ask, if it was serious but he didnt seem to be looking around for reaction. it was pretty empty anyway so idk, maybe it's becoming a thing :D
if you're into bouldering, you 100% know Magnus
Pouring liquid chalk into chalk is cringy as fu*k. Nobody's that stupid.
Magnus as a longtime viewer, would you consider making an old style video? Where you just go to a gym alone or with some buddys and just climb and talk about life? I always very much enjoyed these types of videos :) much love from the Netherlands since 2019.
This would be so refreshing, the undercover videos got old very quick for me and the reaction vids on the second channel are genuinely F tier content.
I really like the early vlogs (ie: back when Robin was his cameraman). It gives an interesting glimpse into the life of a (recently retired) pro-climber. Maybe not too interesting to the average yt viewer, but super cool to watch as a climber. Everything felt a lot more raw & genuine then too.
The videos training and hard outdoor climbing is what I'd like to see most again.
@@tama-4225 Agree, ive stopped looking for his videos at this point
B
The guy at the front desk definitely realized what was going on like 5 seconds in. He suddenly stand up straight and fixes his hair and shirt and starts looking into the camera
honestly everyone is always so chill you should prob try climbing as Magnus and just helping out random people solve problems
I wanted to say that as well. Very cringe this way and it most likely annoys the nice people. Also, I like the parts best when the boulders are being solved instead of faking it.
@@Daeth111 I disagree and i bet most oeople do. undercover is fun for neutral viewers
@@butmay1893absolutely. He’s making content not taking over gyms. The same “magnus goes to gym” wouldn’t have got him to a mil plus subs.
Do you have a huge CZcams channel? No? Ok then maybe he knows the CZcams game eh? It isn’t “make videos to appease niche viewers”, is it?
Make sense bud? Ok cool.
@@jimmylarge1148 I subbed him for his "normal" videos. going to the gym and his other "stunts". But I see that these videos may make more fun for Magnus himself instead of helping people all day long.
We need INTERPOL-style posters in every climbing gym showing Magnus in his various disguises.
😆 🤣 😂 literally
It's so funny how Magnus spends the whole video trying to get someone to use his "Double Trouble" chalk and actually succeeds in the end 😂
I never fail to get amusement from Magnus “disguising” himself but looking the exact same every time 🤣
I think these types of videos are just Magnus' way of hiding his love for climbing in rentals
Called out!
And his love for mixing liquid chalk and normal chalk
😂
I guarantee 90% of the people in every one of these videos knows exactly who Magnus is lol
He's so immediately recognizable haha
He needs one of those mission impossible masks
At this point his costumes are just his alter egos 😂
The girl filming him on her phone did lol
ofc.....
The magnus patented swinging dynonto faceplant is always the best part of these videos
"I take no chances when it comes to chalk" the only true statement of the video 😂
I would love the idea of Magnus going as him self in a climbing gym chat with the people and just crushed everything. Basically without masquerade.
He did one where he went to a halloween event dressed as himself with a terrible paper mask printout of his own face, it's hysterical.
Same!
@@nicholem1450 I think you missed the point of that comment.
He did. In Tokyo. He's signed on hardest boulers there as first ascender.
How about "Magnus teaches a beginner class"? Or "Magnus teaches an intermediate student"?
Tbh, it might be very entertaining to watch you just go rocklimbing in random gyms with random ppl and hang out with cool talented and growing climbers
YES!! I think this would be a great new series :)
Problem is youtube likely wouldn't push something like this as much
THIS ! I want this
@@boogaloo4640 yeah not a bad idea
Yes! I'd love to see Magnus just being Magnus going to hang out with average climbers, helping them figure out routes and demonstrating parts that they're struggling with
Gotta love how everyone who figures him out stays quiet and plays along.
Yep, like 99% of the gym.
@@silacka3114 lol
Soon these will be like make a wish events, but instead of a bunch of adults pretending a kid is a police officer, it's going to be a climbing gym full of people pretending they don't know it's Magnus. And I am going to absolutely love watching it :D
Pretty sure it's already that. There was the one guy who busted him at 2:28 and I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of other people recognized him but were too polite to say anything. After all, his 'disguise' consists of putting on a pair of glasses and changing his accent.
the "insta live" stuff just had me cracking up. God bless Erik and his 200 followers. He's the most wholesome of all the alter egos so far.
the Hi Moms were killing me. 😆
I loved when the guy asked what time it was in Sweden and "Erik" look at the clock and realised how ridiculously late it was in Sweden.
@@dreads9536 Erik's mum is just supportive like that
sometimes when i dont feel like going to the climbing gym, i tell myself it could be the day Magnus comes in disguise and that gets me to go lol
Your climbing gym probably sucks too bad
When you're at the gym and realize that anyone there could be Magnus, so long as they look as sound just like him with a different haircut.
In Oslo we are lucky to bump into the undisguised Magnus when we go to his gym and a few other gyms around. It's a pity I have not seen him talking much to anybody 😁
The sad thing is that this is my gym and I was considering going today but my brother didn’t want to
The guy in the thumb nail is my friend
I was kinda bummed the big "reveal" wasn't entirely shown this time. I still LOVE these videos! They are slightly cringy and always funny. I agree that Magnus, just climbing with random people, would also be great to watch. ❤
I think there was nothing to reveal tbh
When Magnus is hanging out with the guy with the beard, there is a sense of him being in on it and him also being undercover with you. He figures out who youn might be and then there is a camaraderie when Magnus asks whether he should try the white route. This is a good exciting moment and nobody else int that vicinity really seems to know whats happening, so that is a great bonus.,
“Magnus goes Undercover” just makes me think “Magnus goes Undercover as Magnus”
Hahaha!
Magnus takes off his glasses and dufinschmertz is like “MAGnus MITbo??!!” 😂
@@0xphk I have 😂
I love how nice the climbing community is. Magnus is out here just saying ridicolous things and people are like yeah sure. Gotta love the cilimbers
23:20 i was literally reading your comment as i watched this part
Nobody will contradict him, as everyone knows he's a pro climber.
Dude makes more friends in a session than i do in a year of climbing ;D
I like how he sat so close to the guy toward the end of the video and the dude subtly scooted away.
Props to the guy at 2:28 for not letting the cat out of the bag too early
what it means? i don't understand human language
@@aufoslab 'letting the cat out of the bag' means 'revealing the secret'
@@Arturinoist thanks!
Was no cat. No bag here either except the chalk bag.
They bout to have posters up at climbing gyms soon warning new climbers with a picture of Magnus on it: "Don't be discouraged if you see this new climber scaling 8's" A standard picture of Magnus would do given his disguises :D
"Magnus wanted for fooling people"
.
I love the fact you manage to do 4-5 accents all at the same time and all really badly. It makes the whole thing 10 x better.
I love the comments about Magnus still being recognizable but beside the fun we poke at the costumes, the videos are still highly entertaining and I have a lot of fun watching them. And a big part to that plays this community that pokes fun have fun without being mean for most parts. I always get a good laugh scrolling through here, something like "at this point they are not disguises but his alter egos" is just hilarious looking at how much he is doing for the roles, like the Swedish accent in Australia, like they would know haha
Keep them coming Magnus! :)
Magnus is crazy for talking to this many people with earbuds in
Magnus would never do that. Erik, on the other hand, thrives on it.
Everyone is just sitting on their phones, filming "Magnus goes undercover as Magnus" reels 😁
Yeah, his cover was blown when the people's The cameras came out cause they knew who it was.
18:30 😂
Magnus: "should we help him"
Nice guy: "I think you should"
4 years ago, magnus was climbing all alone, at midnight to film. Now he’s dressing up in disguise, going to new gyms and interacting with everyone!
my favorite thing is how magnus is climbing pretty hard boulders using awful technique and still getting the job done. I think it really shows just how much power he really has... Maybe climb a crimpy slab every now an then magnus lol
rental shoes too
Haha imagine rental shoes on tiny jibs and bad technique
Videos like these always show how amazing and wholesome the bouldering community is. I found that in beginners and pros!
What I like most about these video's, and also what I believe magnus his point is. Is how open and inviting the climbing community is! I only started climbing last month, and everybody you meet in the gym just wants to help you and get better. Thank you for showing everybody how good of a cummunity we have
I literally screamed when a guy was like "OMG MAGNUS?!" but kept it to himself 😂😂😂 So nice!
“And now I am completely unrecognisable” - (in a Norwegian accent)
Swedish actually!
fail. bye.
He's trying to fake a swedish accent and also speaks some swedish in the gym. However, there's no way he can hide that jawline 😂
This was a joke related to a popular video that went viral of someone taking this piss out of Magnus’s fake climbing videos
magnus going undercover is actually just people around magnus pretending they don't know him
Magnus single handedly gonna make my social anxiety go away after watching this series.
I would love to give props to the real MVP, the climbing shoes at this gym...I can't believe you could not only toe hook but also stand on those dualtex volumes!
The “alpha spray” comment was golden 😂😂💀
Quick thinking on the spot, Magnus
Magnus the climbing chameleon, he might be in your gym right now
He's still trying to go undercover even though it never worked and it will never work. The moment he stepped into that place a crowd assembled around him. Everyone instantly recognized him and knew what he was doing, lol. That being said, this video is comedy gold. "Hey mama, hey mama!" xD
The livestream with 'his 200 followers and his mom watching' is absolutely sending me, so wholesome.
The dabs and janky foot placements kill me... I love that he knows exactly how to look like a goon.
I’m such a goon 😝😝😉
@@lorcha1237 Greetings fellow WTC follower ;). What an unexpected crossover!
@@jswave08 c’mon man, the internet is a place where I have some expectation of privacy. I can make a lil gooning joke every once in a while and get away with it. Nice to see you tho 🤚
This shows how welcoming and encouraging the climbing community is.. if your thinking about taking the plunge, do it most gyms are like this place
I can't stand this I'm deaddddd 😂😂😂
The way he crushes everything but crumples to the mat every time when he falls gets me so good 😂😂😂
Your videos prove just how kind and caring the climbing community is :)
someday this guy will be as famous as magnus. keep it up eric! ;-)
I would love to see a commentary by Magnus for these undercover videos on his More Magnus channel to hear the behind the scenes and thoughts especially when he thinks someone's onto him haha
As a Swede, the best part about this video was his swedish 😂.
22:33 "JÄKLAR!" 😂😂
Wow! Close your eyes at 25:30 and take a moment to appreciate the peaceful atmosphere of a random bouldergym in Sydney, Australia.
Nice
Bruv can show up to a remote village, they'd be coming up to him like "Are you Magnus?"
We need that Magnus blog, so basically this video but without the disguise. So good to just see you both trying the hardest climbs in the gym AND making friends and helping people send things.
guy at 2:30 caught himself before he blew your cover lmao
Love how you brute force your way through all awkwardness and bring everyone together
love the more comedy oriented approach to this undercover episode. hahah DO YOU WANT MAGNESIUM FROM SWEDEN?
Hi Magnus, been watching your videos for a little while now, and I have grown a really big interest in climbing, and will be going to a climbing gym for the first time next month!
You're probably one of the nicest CZcamsrs out there and it really goes to show that being genuine can really pay off.
Keep up with the videos!
Cheers from Serbia
Good luck with your climbing man 🔥🔥🔥
Good for you! I also started climbing because of Magnus and I'm super glad I did.
Have fun! I’m excited for you
2:29 "Nevermind." It's obviously Magnus haha
Maybe he knew it was for a video
That was my son who spotted him first hand (& me awkwardly laughing in the background) but wasn’t sure coz, I mean, Magnus in Granville on a Sunday afternoon? 🤷🏻♀️😂
@@Aunty_G If you told me Magnus was gonna be at Granville of all places I wouldn't believe you
@@Snake_47 Exactly, right? 🤣
I’ve been at home sick for a week and just found Magnus’ channel. It’s honestly so fun to watch and really brought me more energy
Keep em coming Magnus! I love this. Video length is perfect.
I just like Magnus deliberately stacking his falls and landing as goofy as possible. Really enjoyed this vid.
We're making progress... the Swedish accent has been the best impression yet! 🤣
It's probably not very obvious to non Scandinavians, but he's also making a parody on Swedish people, and its hilarious 😆
I love how he encourages others to keep moving on to diff spots.
I like how he makes people to attempt harder problems and encourage them while pretending he as a noob try do them. Very cool.
"You're not Eric, I know who you are" - is forever engraved in my brain
Timestamp?
@@cuttertsi3715 it's another video, his first prank in Australia I think
19:14
Nice guy: "What did you say your name was?"
Magnus: "Eric Lindquist"
Other nice guy on the phone: "You are pretty badass"
Got me laughing so hard 😂
He was absolutely googling Magnus
From now on people will pretend they don’t know Magnus just in case he is recording another undercover video 😂. Someone has to tell this guy that he is very famous to go undercover with just glasses on 😂
Finally a video!!! Hoping for one of those hardcore climbing videos when you're back to Norway
Same here I enjoy those the most
Why Norway. Eric's from Sweden.
@@essohenn 😂😂😂
I love how so much work is put into these videos! keep making great content Magnus!
Actually think faking a swedish accent in a place where nobody can tell the difference made perfect sense. Great video as always Magnus!
"We do a lot of cross-country skiing" -made my day! 😀
Waiting for a “Eric Lindquist Goes Undercover As Magnus” vid to drop
I'm starting to think Magnus is doing these videos because he likes dressing up ;) Cosplay Magnus era
Love how Magnus move to invalidate himself immediately is pointing at his rental shoes and socks hahahaha legend
How no one ever notices his camera crew filming him so professionally from all different angles and directions that you do only with a pro guy
the bad part of Magnus becoming so known is that it'll just become impossible for him to do these type of videos lol
He’s probably still gonna do it anyways 😅
Sounds like borat 😂
i smiled from beginning to end, this is so much fun! :)
but i would also love to see the moment you reveal your identity! i wanna see their reactions!
i think that's because they all knew
It kills me every time he squeezes the liquid chalk into the chalk bag. 🤣🤣
His disguise is like how Superman just puts on a suit and some glasses. Still fooling everyone
Magnus is a master of looking like an absolute goofball somehow, I love these videos it's so funny.
I'd love to see a video made by one of these gym goes or maybe Staff members called "Today we humoured Magnus for 2 hours by pretending that wearing glasses means we won't recognize him"
Watching your videos has gotten me to enrol in my first bouldering session. The community seems extremely nice and it just looks like so much fun.
Magnus please do an old style hard boulder video - these have been my favourite and I've been rewatching them so much.
Best part of the disguise is that Magnus had to leave his shirt on so that nobody could recognize him🤯🤯🤯
I could watch another half an hour of Magnus just signing stuff and interacting with fans, so wholesome! 🥰
Magnus this one was genuinely hilarious. Thanks for a good laugh and even better climbing.
Dude this is the gym I met you at I'm so glad I got to see you there even if I was too late to be in the video
i needed this, long day and im sat with my pie and im now so happy thank you magnus
As a swedish speaker;the accent is on pointHAHA
Much love and respect to you for climbing with the guy who was alone.
The pull-ups were absolutely hilarious 😂
Loved how you kept your acting even when one had suspicion. Your getting much better with the acting, but soon the whole world will start speculating wether its you they see or not haha
Great stuff as always Magnus
The continuous “hi mama” and the way magnus would turn the camera to himself just to stare at it absolutely sent me
We need a POV of other climbers in the gym while magnus is "undercover" to see how they all discuss between the scenes that it's obviously magnus.
