NO NOT THE BUCKET ( <—- obligatory homestuck reference)
ranboo just cannot get a break wow
..it does not seem as though ranboo COULD HANDLE a ‘little bit of juice’
‘ranboo you alright??’ no i don’t think they are actually now that you mention it
i like how everybody in the poll is immediately going for the middle one 😂
win! the person who has you trapped in a sick series of death obstacles for their own sick amusement wants to make sure you’re doing ok after accidentally knocking you out via high volts of electricity administered directly to your brain!
bit confused about the bundle of wires dangling from their neck ngl
‘ there’s a one in ten thousand chance of that happening and it did?!’ what can i say, homeslice has the power of PLOT ARMOR on his side!
why is squiggles upset at ranboo actually picking the right key????
‘i love rats! 🥰’ based, squiggles. based

‘what is this, invisalign??? whatre u doin down there????’ never change, charlie. never change
also this california surfer dude is about to get absolutely fucking eviscerated perchance. i feel like that’s where this is going.
‘so that’s why they call him slimecicle! ^^’ shut ur WHORE MOUTH SQUIGGLES /j
fr tho why are his insides literally goop tho
oh that was harrowing. ok so when the static interference happens whatever mind control is happening to make everything seem like. fine ish is removed and it’s like even more horrific??
also i see why they made his insides are green slime, so when they do the color reversal it looks red so it looks like human bits and then they crank the saturation up on that a bit so that it’s a brighter red or something??? ooooh that’s so cool i’m loving this
‘ermmm. what just happened?’ you and me both squiggles.
ok genuinely what the hell is charlie even saying right now. like what the actual fuck 😂
are these camera people dressed up as rats cuz if so that’s both very funny and also that would suck to have to film in, they’re doing a great job
‘how many hot wheels did you swallow???’
‘vrooom :D’
‘..ok dude’
‘they call me lightning mcEAT ^u^’
I KNEW THE BIT WAS GOING TO BE THAT HE DIDNT EVEN NEED TO CUT CHARLIE OPEN I COULD SMELL IT IN THE AIR THAT IS SO FUNNY
‘what a gushy gooshy guy’ facts and truth from squiggles in the corner
why does charlie have a toilet tattoo 😂
wowwww NOW you get cold feet ranboo XD. ‘but it’s so gross 😖’ homeslice you just fully eviscerated a man. you were elbows deep into a guys ABDOMEN. a toilet is leaps and bounds better than a full on HUMAN(?) BEING
even squiggles commented on the toenails
why is eef here
and also the love or host guy
and also like the other people.
why is sneeg and also frank back????
lmao jermas tv is broken L
oop squiggles is not happy about the broken tv

short king jerma
why is jermas cane so bendy
‘i hope slimecicle is ok’ me too, squiggles. me too
wow ethan is really giving this his all. turner my beloved
why is charlie offering to be ethan’s fish
i really like the little idle animations for squiggles ngl. they’re very expressive
austin shows, ‘I LOVE WOMEN.’ ‘lying is not going to save you’ way to haul his ass out of the closet /j (also yes i’m aware austin isn’t straight)
slimecicle, laying there completely fucking disemboweled, ‘i’m feeling something funny, kinda rumbly, some sort of discomfort?? if i could just get someone to check that out..’
austin in the background talking about his very real very heterosexual relationship
why did charlie have a whole ass baseball hat in his stomach
OH THAT WAS SNEEGSNAGS HAT
WHY WAS THAT IN THERE AND WHY IS SQUIGGLES SO UPSET ABOUT IT ??????
i stg if everyone votes to save frank 😂
was that sneegs hat actually?? i’m p sure it was
sneeg is just having a crisis over this fucking hat dude
there is definitely something happening and that was definitely sneegs hat before
i’m only 30 minutes into this how has so much happened so far
i like how sneegs first thing he does upon regaining awareness of the full extant of the situation he’s in is immediately lie about having to take a dump that would produce gases banned by the geneva convention in order to get away for a second. he’s for sure going rogue dude can’t wait to see what you’re able to do before it all goes to hell again
squiggle is absolutely flabbergasted
OH NIHACHU!! hell yeah
nvm sneeg like immediately got caught
oop
that’s not ominous or foreboding at all. don’t mind him he’s just getting reprogrammed real quick lmao
THEY TURNED HIS HAT AROUND 😂
i’m relatively confused
did they put nihachus mic under her hat or something
her audio is a little wonky
ok so only one person for sure survives
i can almost guarantee either sneeg or frank is gonna be the one picked to survive ngl
i love charlie’s little background contributions
ok nvm two of them survive
also yeah i agree how is charlie even still alive in canon. most of his organs are just not in his body
oh niki won??? nice
is niki like ok lmao
she is a very good actress because she seems both genuinely incredibly afraid and incredibly suspicious
niki and sneeg hell yeah
why’d he bitch slap frank 😂
squiggles is not happy with that and neither is charlie
JERMA IS CALLED THE PUZZLER??? LMAO 😂
why is charlie making a callback to the goddamn fussy bit from that one tommyinnit morph mod video
what the hell is charlie doing
why is he strewing his entrails everywhere 😭
i am so incredibly suspicious of niki and idk why
the VIBES? are OFF.
ok i’m going to sleep and finishing this tomorrow and i am fully expecting my dreams to be super fucked up because of this but that’s fine. i’m at the 55:42 minute mark ^^ if my dreams are interesting/relevant i might leave a little note detailing it but probably not lmao (editors note: my dreams were weird but not really relevant, so. yeah)
why does squiggles want them all to lick the walls so bad
i’ve never even heard of the board game mouse trap in my life
is this like an actual board game??? why is it so convoluted????
i like how sneeg just started eating the candy around
squiggles is speaking in some sort of code or something so like. that’s cool???
i like how everyone just started bullying the puzzler XD
oh so that’s why squiggle is speaking in code ig, cuz that’s what the instructions are written in. that’s really funny actually
squiggles is straight up speaking in the same code or whatever the instructions are written in. is that able to be translated??? has anyone translated that yet???
i kinda wanna see if i’d be able to translate it but idk the first thing about ciphers and idek what that arrangement of symbols would be called. is it just straight up wing dings?? who knows! not me!
imma go see if it’s wing dings actually gimme a sec
IT IS WINGDINGS
bet if i translate this it’s gonna be just inane bullshit lmao
i have given up trying to translate this, if anyone’s interesting this is at about 1:03-5:04 of something, i’m too tired for this 😂
on the plus side squiggles is now talking in not wing dings so that’s cool
IS THE MISSING PIECE GONNA BE IN CHARLIE LMAO
OH DUDE THATS SICK THATS SO FUNNY
ok so it USED to be in charlie but it is no longer! it was one of the first bits that ranboo kindly extracted very carefully from charlie’s gaping torso ^^
the rock candy is made from actual rocks??? ok squiggles
why is sneeg just eating random shit around the room 😂
not the candy :((
also i’m eating cantaloupe btw. if you even care 😒 /j
DID HE JUST SHOOT NIKI????
😂 bruhhhh
welp. at least he put her out of her misery???
what is this emphasis on ranboo kicking the bucket in reference to the game. i feel like this is foreshadowing
they probably did it! why is he celebrating the fact they beat his trap lol
oh where the hell are they
why are there deadly lasers
WHY WAS SNEEG GOING TO TOUCH THE LASER 😂
the way his wrist got smacked away from the lasers so promptly
please don’t throw this man
wow
oop
well his face is smooshed lmao
i like the comical way that guy just got fucking murdered via anvil to the face
‘i guess those ones didn’t count 🤷♂️’ lmao
SLIMECICLE?!
‘oh my gosh it’s slimetowel!!’ based squiggles. based
welp. bye slimetowel, you lived as you died. shortly
the lasers are gone!
sneeg is fully just brushing off the like two dead bodies rn
welp. they got out of there 😂
jerma can fly that’s crazy
i like how everyone instead of getting blown up is getting the chance to participate and then comically getting killed in other, miscellaneous ways.
hey uhhh squiggles, buddy ol pal, you doin ok over there??
‘ranboo..’ ‘yes😊?’
oh wow everyone is in the closet that’s crazy /j
the rats are poggers also BTW
i miss charlie already 😔
‘sometimes you need a change in perspective’ do they need to use the mirror to solve the puzzle. i doubt that’s what they have to do but if it is i’m so poggers and awesome and that is REAL and TRUE
jerma just go thru the door sideways bestie
jerma was indeed talking about his ass for a weird amount of time lmao
‘is this a hookah??’ just hearing eef say this in the background sent me
why is sneeg messing w alphabet magnets
‘slayyyyy king!’ i like how squiggles is just stanning ethan putting on a purple wig. based
the wig ethan’s wearing and the color of dress he chose coupled w his entirely purple outfit is clashing horribly oh god
also squiggles is right the audio keeps getting funky cuz of all the fabric on the microphones 😂
i like sneegs bright yellow boa scarf
the heels actually look p cool austin
how many layers is ranboo wearing???
where did ranboos jacket go??
oh i think it’s on the red chair
i don’t think those heels are the right size for austin i’ll be honest
sneegs outfit is really something
for the record i have absolutely no clue what’s happening rn
why is everyone voting for ethan in terms of most stylish
i do not think they did it, guys
i actually really like austin’s orange pants but i think that’s just because i like cargo pants and also orange so like. maybe i’m biased 😂
why is ethan walking like that
oh ranboo literally just put two different jackets over his showfall jacket and then just took one off, they’re still wearing the showfall jacket underneath XD
‘it says that we should go there, but i feel like that’s a trap :D ‘
also there was a button that sets off a black light which is what reveals the clues, not the mirror
oooo nice fit change 😂
‘NOT HIS CHILDREN AND WIVE’ why is squiggles actually kinda funny ngl. like i don’t trust them as far as i can throw them but sometimes they’re based
ok bits aside the fact that ranboo and sneeg are so far mostly unaffected by the copious amounts of dead people and dying people and horrific threats of violence and whatnot is almost certainly some sort of mindcontrol or something by showfall. like. that’s not even really a question in my mind that’s irrefutable fact at this point. especially with the whole thing earlier with sneeg?? and the occasional interference from the hacker or whatever or the instances where something happens that’s not meant to and the illusion breaks?? like mannn this is so cool.
LMAO THE COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY DEATH OF EEF AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LEAVING TO THE NEXT PART OF THE PUZZLE
BRUH
that’s so funny
also the meta of finding this funny because it’s all silly and goofy and framed as a joke falling into line w the entire thing being set up like that to keep people from thinking about the horrific things that are actually happening in order for this entertainment and then how that parallels real life in the entertainment industry? yikes
anyway onto the silly goofies tee hee
is jerma just smoking a cigar
did jerma just drop the bomb button. is austin about to fucking die
what even happened hello ??
jerma really likes his cardboard what can i say
ranboo just solving the rubik’s cube without looking at it lmao
i’m honestly surprised there hasn’t been more gore in this so far, i was honestly expecting this to be a lot more graphic than this but that’s kinda dumb of me i think, i didn’t realize this was streamed on twitch at some point lol
i’m fully expecting austin to die ngl
push the button push the button push the button
nvm squiggles said to push it i don’t think they should push it
‘we shouldn’t push the button it’s got dynamite sitting in front of it’ ‘…*moved the dynamite to a shelf right next to it* looks safe to me :D ‘
yeah austin is dying lmao
‘only one person would fit in this silhouette’ *ranboo, standing there like a foot taller than it*
well those people are dead oop
why’s that chair all fucked up lmao
it sure is just. focusing on that chair for a while, huh
oh hey ranboo in the background lmao
ranboo is on the set this is not a drill
this sure is a funky little room huh
wow look at that four minutes set up XD
is that torn up showfall merch on the ground around the chair??
why did the puzzler leave a message TO RANBOO in the case he died??? hello??
why are there so many boxes inside boxes lmao
‘the truth will set you free’ genuinely what side is the puzzler even on here
squiggles is not happy about hacker guy being here again
i’m noticing whenever the hacker guy shows up or interferes or whatever is when ranboo seems actually distraught and confused and scared, most likely because whatever tie showfall has on him is weakened?? idk but it’s super cool
also squiggles commentary is. intriguing
ohhhh ranboo can actually see the fourth wall now?? or at least the people filming who represent the fourth wall/ the audience??
woahhhhhhhh this is so cool
the backing track there fits the atmosphere so well!!
that’s such a neat place to end it on holy shit lmao

A list of (almost) everything MatPat got wrong about GenLoss:
"Generation Loss is an ARG." Generation Loss is actually quite transparent about not being an ARG. It has elements similar to an ARG, such as audience interaction, but there is a clear barrier between the story/characters and real life. One of the defining features of an ARG is the lack of this barrier.
"Ranboo is the Founder and orchestrated the entire show from start to finish."
"The teasers ask the audience to kill the Founder, and the finale ends with the audience voting to kill Ranboo, implying they are the same person." It was heavily foreshadowed that there are many generations to come, and also confirmed by cc!Ranboo several times. Killing the Founder in Generation 1 wouldn't make sense. That, and just because Ranboo died doesn't automatically prove that he's the Founder.
"Ranboo always makes choices that keep the performance on track." He is being controlled to do so. One of the very first details you can possibly notice in the series is that when the mask comes on, Ranboo is not in control of his actions.
"Ranboo doesn't participate in searching [in ep 2]." The Showfall announcement on twitter says that interactive elements are limited on episode 2, giving Ranboo no commands or agency of his own to actually help other than the limited audience polls. also the mask was reset in episode 2, placing him under even stricter control.
"Ranboo knows what is happening and will do anything to keep the show going." Since the very beginning teasers, Ranboo has been labeled The Hero. This name alone makes it obvious that Showfall has intended for Ranboo to be the protagonist, and thus the one that makes it to the end. Again, he's under control- even if he knows what's going to happen, none of his reactions or choices were truly his.
"Ranboo locked Sneeg in the basement, that's how he knows Sneeg was there for 6 months." There's no evidence that Sneeg actually was there for 6 months, given that the cabin is canonically just a set that they use. All we have to go on for this is a throwaway line (which GenLoss is full of throwaway lines). And Ranboo somehow "knowing" how long Sneeg was there isn't a direct implication of guilt, again considering that it's the set of a show.
"The Puzzler is scared of Ranboo." The Puzzler is the Bad-At-Being-A-Villain archetype. Him going "woops sorry" when he almost accidentally kills Ranboo is not him being "scared" of Ranboo. It's him being the goofy villain that Showfall wrote him to be. (Sidenote: Interesting that Matpat was implying that Jerma may have flubbed some lines, when the entire point of his character was to be as incompetent as possible. Saying the wrong thing was kind of... the point of the character.)
"Ranboo believes he is doing everything to help humanity." Yeah he lost me there. I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
"Ranboo's death was staged" I'll give this one the benefit of the doubt. He may not have actually died, or he may have been brought back, but it's not because he was actually the one behind it all.
"The cooking show cutaways prove that Ranboo is still alive." The cooking show cutaways are obviously prerecorded, even in-universe. You have to consider that even in-universe this is still a live show. They would've had to have been prerecorded anyway. Even if these cutaways had been filmed after the fact for a prerecorded show, the cutaways still could've been recorded between episodes, as canonically there was a day in between each episode (where it's implied that characters go into an idle state).
Using cc!Ranboo's explaination about the rerecorded/remastered aspects of the Founder's Cut as evidence that gl!Ranboo is manipulating the footage. This would be a very interesting take on the idea and definition of Generation Loss as a concept, however cc!Ranboo has stated many times before that the Founder's Cut is solely to get past the limitations of the live setting. It also would not make sense that gl!Ranboo would be the one manipulating the footage, but we're too deep down the "Ranboo Is The Founder" rabbit hole to talk about that.
"The Founder's Cut will replace the original VODs, slowly changing the details until a distorted copy is left." Again, cool concept. But Ranboo has already confirmed that this is not the direction that the series is going. The VODs will still be up and the Founder's Cut is not meant to replace them, just make them easier to watch.
Conclusion: MatPat focuses too much on throwaway lines, in-universe jokes, and whiteboards, and ignores blatant visual clues such as the mask, morse code, and... just about everything really... for 16 minutes.
