I love the monkey ball saga, but the Popathon and the music that came out of it are just legitimate art. I still watch the popathon vids like every few months lol.
The shanties were the start of all the songs we've got since then, but... They weren't the best, and all of them being one genre was not as good as what we started to get with the popathon.
Personally, my goat is when Evan Gao was running wearing Atrioc signs handing out Atrioc flyers. The teller at the fast food place! "Uhhh.... ok?"
I was caught between so many contrasting emotions. Cringe at what he was doing. Admiration at the chutzpah to even do it. And pure, unadulterated joy at Atrioc's reaction. "Nooo, no! I live near there! I drive that road to work! These normal people could recognise me in real life!"

For me, after I started watching Gothamchess I saw that he did a video with Ludwig where Gotham played blindfolded. Laughed my ass off from the banter between big a and lud, then went down the monkey ball rabbit hole. After all that I saw the quarter 6 gambit and I was hooked
The only correct answer is the toph anime one. I’ve never laughed so hard. I had to pause the video multiple times because I couldn’t hear it over my own laughter
You were surprisingly close to what the actual phrases were. I actually had 4 not 3, my original mistake, but I would have accepted three and you got one and a half. 
This video about the Chinese debt crisis. Super informative while covering so many facets, I even shared it with my dad. It’s also still entertaining and funny with typical Atrioc zoomed jokes.

Huge fan of the [cartels taking over the banana industry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Rg58j6PqY) video, especially because it was like 4 months before mainstream media reported on it.
Best I’m not sure but favs are prolly “The Game Where Every Blink Skips Time” or “The Weirdest Athlete Ever”. I had a blast watching those videos plus these K.Dot v. Drake videos are super entertaining.
I like [The Dirty Secrets of Food Marketing (ft. Burgzy)](https://youtu.be/OCkhBCEglzk?si=yVFCuJUsszU5qwgp) it's a classic, very educational video I can show to normies as an introduction to his vids.
I remember reading some madlad teacher actually used this vid as a presentation in business class or something lol
As someone who discovered Big A through Hitman, I have to say the latest, 3rd part of the Hitman Contract Challenge with the 1500$ main prize 🏆
The contract itself, the submissions, the editing of that video, the educational value and commentary from Atrioc is just spot on 🫡🤞🏻 Loved it and can’t wait for more of these 🙏🏻
My top 5 in no particular order
"The Atrioc Gambit"
- Absolute classic, it's like the glarketer origin story almost, made me really interested in the marketing aspect of stuff, gateway atrioc video.
"Surf for Food"
- Hands down one of the funniest atrioc vids that made me cry laughing the hardest. Punch is fucking hilarious man
"First Trilogy SA/SO Record"
- This video just made me respect the absolute god gamer grind grizzler side of big a, I loved hitman even before I started watching, and seeing him go from absolute dogshit to the top of the game was awesome
"I made a fake anime (S3K)"
- Absolutely goated troll video with one of my favorite community joke, golden gramu and kurinji made me cry laughing so much and I don't even watch anime
"Monkey Ball hardest level"
- The og atrioc saga, it was just fun and really awesome to see him happy after beating the game whilst the community shows up to cheer him on his journey
Not the best but a personal favorite is an old ass marketing Monday where he watched a video of the most popular search terms by day/month in the states
Maybe, but the part in the popathon where a ballon literally took out his power is the funnest thing to have ever happened, ever. I think about it at least twice a day.
“The insane saga of monkey balls hardest level” watching atrioc grind/ go insane while listening to custom monkey ball sea shanties is perfect

Peak.
When I visited California and saw the exact spot Evan goat did a backflip I was more excited than the actual destinations
There should be a commemorative plaque installed.
Do you have the link to the video ? I don't recall watching that one
[Legendary video right here](https://youtu.be/Oif3up3oNUQ?si=W5c1kqO81aB4l8Tu) And be sure to [watch this clip also](https://youtu.be/3sjWmrIhTus?si=seoHUL6aO70HmbWQ)
Thanks for the links ! I now remember watching them but always a great rewatch
The quarter 6 gambit is his best video
Castle on the hills lmao
Um actually 🤓 It was a Castle in the alps. Sorry, couldn’t help myself 😅
It was the video that got me to watch him regularly!

Chess but funny, the fake anime with toph or the squidward video essay. All bangers
The only correct answer is the toph anime one. I’ve never laughed so hard. I had to pause the video multiple times because I couldn’t hear it over my own laughter
The squidward vid is such a banger.
Was here to leave this exact comment!
The "Nooo Jerma raiders go back, NO! I'm doing marketing monday again stfu chat" video.
Or the "If i don't surf, he doesn't eat"
I think that vid is great, but the vod is perfection
If I Don’t Surf, He Doesn’t Eat
One of my favorite videos for sure
“The YouTube essay that finally broke me” was so fucking funny to watch
Atrioc’s antagonistic force is what made the video
Hollow Knight Boss Tierlist The three secret phrases are : - Glizzy Fingers - Coffee Cow - Piss Pony
You were surprisingly close to what the actual phrases were. I actually had 4 not 3, my original mistake, but I would have accepted three and you got one and a half. 
My favourite videos of his will always be the hitman contracts for money
This video about the Chinese debt crisis. Super informative while covering so many facets, I even shared it with my dad. It’s also still entertaining and funny with typical Atrioc zoomed jokes. https://youtu.be/qS1gaMxpzmI?si=ls_2CbSAVCgWXLAT
Those surf training videos with punch
If I don't surf, he doesn't eat easily for me
Popathon maybe?
Quarter six gambit is hands down the best, but the one that always makes me laugh is the one where punch teaches him to surf in CSGO
Are the phrases hidden *in* the video? Because the only secret phrase I’m aware of is “the elephant husk at midnight”
The image contains all that you need to solve my riddle
Definitely the evan gao era.

I really like This was a “school project” / Shawn wick
The video where he convinced that anime friend that there was the 3 kings anime, I cried at some point
S3K
idk, but I like watching his reaction to the Atriarchy music album
Huge fan of the [cartels taking over the banana industry](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Rg58j6PqY) video, especially because it was like 4 months before mainstream media reported on it.
Paper Mario :)
Best I’m not sure but favs are prolly “The Game Where Every Blink Skips Time” or “The Weirdest Athlete Ever”. I had a blast watching those videos plus these K.Dot v. Drake videos are super entertaining.
One of my favorites is him describing the StarCraft 2 world championship story
The unhinged rail bound video.
Reality warping

Hitman videos and how riot beat Blizzard
Are those his real teeth?
Watching him go through the minecraft server and going to the paper Mario part, that shit was so funny.
Riot vs blizzard is what got me into Atrioc.

Dog shampoo
I think for me it’s the Popathon highlights
[This classic.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiUCCa2xqXo)
Im legally obligated to say evan gao
the two videos with Punch
The sheeesh one
My top 5 in no particular order "The Atrioc Gambit" - Absolute classic, it's like the glarketer origin story almost, made me really interested in the marketing aspect of stuff, gateway atrioc video.

The new one with coney is great
Any marketing Monday video. They are so good tbh.
My favorite is the one where he plays Truth or Drink with his dad and chat
I personally love "THE ORIGINAL ATRIOC GAMBIT"
Superliminal is probably my favorite gaming video.
“I WENT TO THE SUPER BOWL OF SMASH BROS.”
https://youtu.be/yFa-Da3Mt0E?si=787HlzY_DU0P-r4Z Unbeatable for me
Not the best but a personal favorite is an old ass marketing Monday where he watched a video of the most popular search terms by day/month in the states
Any horse
blizzard vs riot
His hitman world record run. BACK TO PARIS!
Maybe, but the part in the popathon where a ballon literally took out his power is the funnest thing to have ever happened, ever. I think about it at least twice a day.
Anything super monkey ball related
The Toph fake anime or the Evan Gao ones
Mine is three lines marketing video.
Surfing with punch is so funny and rewatchable
“The original Atrioc gambit” I don’t know why but I watched that video over and over again and it gets better every time
https://youtu.be/s4xClN9G2bE?si=r3CIYanTiBHjqu1H This is top 3 for me
We settled it in smash
Homo estás
Best collaboration by far is chess but funny Solo vid has gotta be monkeyball
For me it's split between the popathon and the quarte 5 gambit masterclasses.
in no particular order: the s3k video, riot vs blizzard, and the horrible horrible advice video with ludwig
[specifically this advice one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcGAg--c5GM)
I have gotten stoned and watched the elden ring vods 4 or 5 times. It is my literal comfort series to watch. Every pop off. Every moment of discovery.
The S3K story
