This is a physical representation of “1 in 3 people have adhd”

10:10 "I honestly want him to win because I don't wanna see him cry, he honestly seems bummed out." And there's Mark, even though he's an asshole to his friends, it's just for the bit. He actually is a genuinely nice guy.

Why is no one talking about the fact Mark put a CLEARLY cracked egg on the table after telling Ethan it lived ?? It doesn't get sweeter than that Then Mark says "I'm proud of you" I'm gonna cry

Ethan looked like he needed a hug through the entire thing

"Hi... Amy I love you" "I want him to win because I dont want to see him cry" He's adorableeeeee

Dude ethans ADHD was beating the absolute shit out of him in this video :(

at 3:49 you hear Ethan humming to himself silently i think he was trying to stop the stress or calm himself down because he already knew his ADHD was bad that day :( you can also hear his voice break a little like if stress and everything was making him want to break down but his only escape was humming

I almost cried seeing Ethan struggle so hard and seeing his friends realising and caring for him. I dont have adhd and dont know it well, but as a person living with depression it is so good to have people see how you feel and just help the best they can - this means so much when you just cant handle yourselfe sometimes.

Ethan: Depressed Mark: Supportive friend Tyler: The third wheel

Markiplier makes: Ethan cry over eggs

Ethan in this video is like the perfect example of an ADHD episode and what it looks like when you get really overwhelmed. I’m glad he was okay with them posting this, because honestly it’s one of the best examples of overstimulation and not being able to pay attention that I’ve ever seen with a popular KZfaqr. They even gave him extra time, like children with ADHD usually get in school and you can clearly see him struggling to grasp his ideas or focus on what he’s doing. Even in the beginning when they first get their items you can see him grabbing and touching things but with no real purpose because he can’t focus but he wants the stimulation. Yknow just ✨g r a b b y h a n d s✨

10:10 “I just want him to win because I don’t wanna see him cry, because he seems really bummed out:(“ I’m going to cry. I’m going to cry so hard.

"Where ya goin?" Ethan: *gazes sadly at camera' "Do you think a fall from this height would kill me?" Same.

Mark's strategy: engineering Tyler's strategy: lots of cushioning Ethans strategy: mass genocide

Tyler: “Ethan lift me!” Ethan: *not confident about this idea but ready to attempt* 😄

I have super bad adhd, and I relate so heavily to Ethan during this. Adhd + a time limit is super hard to work with, because you can never really get your ideas out, it feels like a class project, where you only have like 1 day to work on it, and go through 3 ideas and can’t get them out into paper and then eventually just give up.

I’ve never related to anything more than Ethan missing the instructions and having a mini breakdown.

Mark in 2019: I don’t wanna see Ethan cry Mark in Unus Annus: **you uncultured bohemian**

11:16 you can hear that he’s choking down tears. i feel so bad for him. i’ve watched this video so many times and yet it always seems to upset me. i hope he gets to do this again some other day, a better day.

9:27 the way Amy let's ethan just vent for a second is so sweet. Ik when I have sensory overload I just want someone to listen to me

"CATCH ME!" *laughter but it's laughter like they are scared he might actually jump*

"I just want him to win, because i don't want to see him cry." *That literally made me tear up, their friendship is beyond perfect and sweet.*

11:31 why do i feel like Mark absolutely WOULD try to catch Ethan just to see if his body could handle a whole ass human being falling from 20 ft up

Mark was being so sweet while Ethan was dropping his egg probably recognizing Ethan was having an episode

It's so sweet to see how, usually, everyone is making fun of each other (in a joking manner, of course) but when Ethan is genuinely sad, they're as nice as possible.

"I kinda want him to win because I don't wanna see him cry" lmao and "tHE BLOOD OF _YOUR CHILD_ IS ON *MY FACE!* "

10:13 “i just want him to win cause i don’t wanna see him cry” the thing i love about mark is that even if he’s joking around, he still genuinely cares about ethan and doesn’t want to see him so upset. adhd is a tough thing to deal with man.

You could actually see Ethan start tearing up, and he just laughed it off

Mark and Tyler not wanting Ethan to be upset is the kind of friends everyone needs

My respect for Mark has gone up something fierce. Ethan is clearly having an ADHD episode. He can't focus, everything is overwhelming, instructions are not understood and he fixated on the shock mount idea. And Mark recognised that Ethan was clearly distressed and toned down the teasing and directed any antagonism to Tyler. ADHD is incredibly overwhelming to live with and Mark was incredibly empathetic to Ethan's situation. Thems good frems.

This video in a nutshell: -Ethan malfunctioning -Tyler creating a ball of... eh? -Mark trying to keep everybody sane

Alternate title: Ethan suffers for 22 minutes straight while Mark And Tyler suffer less.

*You will never forget this day.*

Mark: I don't want to see him cry Tyler: If he hits the target it'll be fine *Ethan kills all three* Ethan: CaTcH mE

No because I truly hate how genuinely I understood Ethan and literally felt for him in this video. Having severe ADHD myself, my heart always hurts for him and at various points I feel like crying for him when watching this video, even 3 years later. And even on the flip side, it also makes me emotional to hear Amy keep checking up on him and how all of them, really, reacted to the whole thing. It's really lovely to see people who understand and are just genuinely sweet, supportive, and caring. I really do feel for him, watching how he reacts to/handles the situation, and I'm glad he has really good friends.

I wish I had someone as understanding as Mark was towards ethan’s adhd in situations like these. All I get is yelled at for not “getting it together” when “it’s so easy” sigh

Mark: Hi. Amy, I love you. Amy: *shakes camera* Mark: *starts questioning existence* Amy: I meant it as a wave not a no! Mark: *starts smiling again*

I love this a lot, Mark usually teases Ethan a little, but he could see he was upset so he toned it down a lot, Mark was really positive to Ethan, and they were both talking about how they hope he gets it, they were all really supportive of Ethan and his mistake, they tried to make him feel better every chance they got, even though Ethan was really bummed out, he was very positive toward his friends, and I think Ethan handled the situation really well (In my opinion). I'm very proud of these guys, and I'm happy they all have each other, they always seem like better people when they're around each other.

And at the end of the day we all know that... Ethan is a true winner and that's all that matters 👍

6:17 I'm not a person with ADHD but it made me feel so bad for him, especially when he says, "okay...okay...", after Mark gives him a suggestion, you can just hear the frustration and lack of optimism in his voice

Mark: strategy/leadership Tyler: logic/physical strength Ethan: heart/emotional strength

Markiplier: Amy I love you Amy:shakes camera no* oh wait I was trying to wave Markiplier again:Amy I love you Amy:says nothing* Markiplier:oh...okay

“Do you think a fall from this height will *kill me?”* Somebody save our poor Eef…

Rewatching this after becoming friends with someone with ADHD really gives a whole new perspective. I actually understand how it works and why its happening. I also notice how they react is very similar. 6:47ish my friend does this at least twice a day

"The blood of your child is on my face!" -Tyler 2019 "cAtCh mE!" -depresso Ethan 2019 "I love you, Amy!" -Mark 2019

Ethan being depressed is a phat mood He literally has a breakdown about some eggs and then he kills them all

3 years later Mark still owes an egg 1million dollars!

What I see in this video is that as soon as Ethan becomes even slightly upset or sad Mark and Tyler go straight into father and brother mode- like Mark becomes the caring and supportive father and Tyler tries to comfort. It’s the cutest thing- 😭😭💖

You should do Markiplier Makes: Ethan feel better

Ethan desparatly trying to make something and then giving up in the few remaining seconds is litterally my life

I really feel Ethan’s pain in this video, I don’t have ADHD, but I’m autistic, and when something like this happens to me I either just completely shut down, or start to cry, because I’m overwhelmed, and feel like a failure

Ngl kinda cried how nice everyone was being to Ethan when he was crying and not feeling it. Good friends..

Markiplier makes: Ethan more and more depressed with each video

Seeing Ethan eyes look so upset really *CRACKED* my heart

Before I see mean comments, the whole reason Ethan cried is because he had a censory overload, which means his ADHD got the best of him

Tyler: wow,you made a pun and you hate puns Mark: I don’t hate puns I just hate Wade

People keep talking about Mark and Tyler trying to be nice, but nobody talks about how Amy is constantly checking on him and even had mark add an extra minute to the next part to help Ethan out.

Mark telling Amy that he loved her was adorable.

Mark: "thats crankgameplays-- THE crankgameplays" [everyone liked that]

I like how a lot of ppl are obsessed with mark waving to amy but mark saw Ethan was Overestimulated and wanted to help cuz he was extra sensitive. He even replaced his egg when it cracked. Ik the exact feeling Ethan was having in the episode. A summary could be a cocafany of voices saying shit to you like your not good enough or this is so simple how'd you fuck this up? It's sweet mark say that and helped out

everyone forgets that mark also has ADHD/ADD, so it makes sense as to how he is properly helping ethan mark's adhd just isn't as severe and he's able to handle it well, ethan wasn't able to handle it well that day ethan is human, mark is human, tyler is human. and it shows. in this video, ethan's adhd had kicked in more then before, and mark was handling it perfectly. even amy kept checking on ethan and helped out by adding more time (even if it was just one minute) idk what i'm trying to say, it's late at night lol so i'm tired af but yeah

Mark: “Amy, I love you” Amy: Mark: **softly** “ok”

Let’s all have a moment of respect for Ethan’s ADHD episode. I seriously relate to him in this situation, my ADHD has moments like this.

I actually cried watching this because its so disgustingly relatable to what I would've probably done in this situation. I would've gotten overwhelmed and started crying too. Ethan is truly an icon.

Ethan having a mental breakdown for 22 minutes straight

“Are you crying?” “Close” 😂😂😂😂 omg I can’t

i think Ethan deserves an "Egg drop redo episode"

8:32 you can see him trying hard as hell to keep them tears down I don't even have adhd but I'm crying

Omg poor Ethan. He looks like he's having an agressive ADHD/ADD episode. I feel his pain....

For anyone still confused as to why Ethan cried, he was clearly having an ADHD Episode throughout this video, leading him to have a sensory overload (The moment when he began clutching at his head, to try and drown Mark and Tyler out)

Everyone's talking about how sweet they were to ethan but no one's talking about the fact that mark banned parachutes which is actually ridiculous

Seeing him have the episode and seeing other people talk about it really helped me realize why I struggle in things like this and get overwhelmed by simple things. AND seeing how much Mark and Tyler are trying to make him feel better is really nice too :))

I really feel so bad for Ethan, his ADD/ADHD was really making him struggle in this video and I feel really bad. You can clearly see the tears in Ethans eyes at 8:30

“I don’t wanna see him cry, he seemed really upset.” 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Re-watching this after being diagnosed with ADD, and having experienced sensory overload myself, I really feel for Ethan, because I could 100% see myself in him. It feels like your head is just stuffed full, to a point where you just can't take anything else in. Sound, smell, vision, everything feels overwhelming, and you just want to lie down and be able to flip a switch on your head to turn it off completely. It sucks.

Markiplier: You're an inanimate object, but if you land in this I'll give you... a million dollars. Egg: Where's my money!?

7:55 - you can see Ethan's disappointment and it honestly is heartbreaking. But I noticed how when Ethan said "next" at 8:38 , Mark immediately went back to the camera. I saw Ethan wipe his eyes after that, so it was like Mark was really trying to distract from the fact he was damn close to proper crying.

I love the way Ethan depressedly goes "I'd love you"

“YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY.” Had me laughing so hard I had to comment this despite the fact it’s been years

i genuinely adore how when mark goes "there's a little squid in it!" the other two immediately look

Another name idea for this video: Ethan's Existential Meltdown

I think most people watching this don't realise but it's clear Ethan was struggling from the very beginning. I have ADHD and I know this exact feeling, and it's really hard to describe if you've never felt it before. Basically, you start to get frustrated because your brain is working ever so slightly out of sync with your hands/body, and the harder you try, the more frustrating it is, and the more the disconnect grows. Assuming this video was filmed after they filmed the Markiplier Makes Pie video, then Ethan has already been struggling to successfully complete a task. You can see how distracted and distant he is in the beginning of the video while Mark is talking. He gets more and more frustrated with himself as the challenge goes on. If you have friends with ADHD, or suspected ADHD, then please take note of this video. He's not upset because he's going to lose the challenge, at least not entirely. He's upset because he can't get his body to do what's happening in his head. If your friends ever struggle like this, please dont pressure them, or make fun of them. Just comfort them and give them some time to calm themself down and reorganize their thoughts. It's difficult trying to work under pressure like this, but having a friend there to help, like Mark in this instance, really does make a difference.

I'm so glad that by thinking outside of the box and using an unconventional method, Ethan got an egg to live. He deserved that victory.

It's amazing how much has changed in just a couple years but if we can at least take one thing away from this video it's that despite how much poor Eef was struggling in this video it showed a lot of people that ADHD is no joke. This shit is ROUGH when it flares up like it did for him and it can be incredibly detrimental to our mental health if it's not handled correctly. Thankfully Mark also has ADHD/ADD so once he finally realized what was going on he changed his tune towards Ethan's panicking or this could've ended in a full blown panic attack or depressive episode. Also, almost 2 years later and Amy is still such a sweetheart towards Ethan in this one when she could tell he was getting frustrated.

Ethan's depression Mark's redemption Tyler's *relaxation*

You can see the p a i n in Ethans eyes at 8:30 Like whenever you zoom into Ethans face, his eyes are teary, and i feel really bad for him

8:30 poor guy was holding back tears, broke my heart.

I love how Mark definitely acted a bit differently towards Ethan, more supportive and helping, it’s really sweet.

Ethan was so close to start crying, I felt so bad for him

mark: ᴴᴵ aᴹᵞ ᴵ Lᴼᵛᴱ ᵞᴼᵁ

as someone with adhd, i adore how everyone treated ethan in this, they were so patient w him i could cry

As someone who also lives with ADHD, I feel Ethan’s pain 100%. I ran out of meds on a school day and couldn’t get a refill until the next day, unfortunately, this was during my math state test, I could not focus at all and everything was just gibberish. Somehow by total luck I passed the test with a 64% (in Ohio, a D is a passing grade.) I should not have passed that test but I’m not complaining because I graduated thanks to that 64

Ethan’s surviving egg: Did you do it? Ethan: yes Ethan’s egg: What did it cost? Ethan: everything

Ethan: Crying Mark: supportive and trying to get Tyler to be supportive Tyler: laughing

I like how Tyler just intensely stares at the camera at the beginning-

“It’s so gross. Who would like this?” Mark says as he stares deeply in amazement of the thing

Alternate video title: Ethan has a Eggstential crisis.

Mark just trying to cheer up Ethan the whole video is really what I signed up for

"I don't hate puns, I just hate Wade." -Markiplier, 2019

I cant believe Mark's priveliged coming up, I had to use dirt in place of eggs, and more dirt in place of the catcher
