    Wait. You said only 7 M&Ms? Be right back… [edit] I just stacked 10. I even filmed and uploaded it:

  4. Cyn!CalCy@nide

    June 22, 2022 at 8:20 am

    There should have been at least one question on John Oliver’s segment on GWR and their rather unusual proclivity for humoring dictators.

  5. Étoine de Vries

    June 22, 2022 at 8:48 am

    Except the connection with the drink question, this was a pretty boring video. It’s like 90% stating names of record holders. I understand why these things get googled but it doesn’t make for a very interesting video.

    Long fingernails are not ‘beautiful,’ it’s making yourself intentionally disabled.

    after John Oliver’s episode about G. Berdimuhamedow, I cannot stand the GWR anymore. he destroyed it like a furry destroys his/her family dignity.

    June 22, 2022 at 5:04 pm

    3:05 uhh lol they were asking who can speak the most languages not what language is most spoken

  20. Kambra

    June 22, 2022 at 5:09 pm

    Also fun fact about Michael Lolito, the guy who ate metal and glass, he died at 57 for “natrual causes” as in eating metal and glass will naturally kill you.

  23. Mandeep

    June 22, 2022 at 10:13 pm

    Don’t they charge a few hundred for applications? 😑
    It’s weird that they don’t count holding your breath as a record, that’s a legit one.

  27. Aidan Duffey

    June 23, 2022 at 3:39 am

    It’s funny to think that after reading most of these questions, they probably have to go ahead and google search the answer themselves

  28. AliB333

    June 23, 2022 at 3:41 am

    They do have a record for holding breath, why did she say they don’t?

    I broke the Guinness World Record for making the world’s longest chain of bracelets. Such an amazing experience. I love GWR!

    • chris mcmeans

      June 26, 2022 at 11:00 pm

      You got scammed, GWR makes up these pointless records just to charge you for expensive adjudication fees 🤦🏼‍♂️

    • Morissa Schwartz

      June 26, 2022 at 11:56 pm

      @chris mcmeans check your sources; they didn’t charge me a dime 😂

    So World Records are tracked by a brewer and restaurant quality is rated by a tire manufacturer. Quality.

    “Guinness WORLD Records” (World being the key word) Still use the imperial system which only 3 countries in the WORLD still use..

  35. Sandman

    June 23, 2022 at 9:47 pm

    “..make sure the animals are never exploited…” then continues to talk about a scooter riding dog and cat, a rabbit shooting hoops
    *looks up the word exploit for GWR*

  36. Patryk Łapiezo

    June 23, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    “How does GWR make money” – they really wanted not to say that you have to pay a huge fee to have your record verified.

    • Djdaweerdo 937

      Was thinking the same thing lol

    June 24, 2022 at 5:43 pm

    why do you give Guinness world records to dictators?

  41. Ke Th

    June 24, 2022 at 10:42 pm

    GWR picked the two right personalities for this. I always figured the organization was kind of stuck up and “prestigious” but these two ladies showed it seems very down to earth and quite fun. Wouldn’t even mind working with the company if they were hiring. 😉

  42. Ryan Delaney

    As others have said, you help dictators break records so they can gain publicity and appear more legitimate.

    Bernie should hold the record for the longest underwater walk

  44. Invox

    June 26, 2022 at 9:07 am

    Is there a record for longest time having their life in limbo?… Cuz I’m pretty sure I hold that record.

  45. D.B.

    June 26, 2022 at 10:08 am

    Let’s be honest. About 95% of these “records” are just utter BS! And 90% of those are not even that entertaining. Some guy stacked M&Ms? And humanity is so proud of this we have a f* book for it.

  46. DAN From the SOUTH

    June 26, 2022 at 12:48 pm

    This is awesome! I got my first in the mid 90’s, and was instantly hooked! I’ve bought every edition ever since! LOVE GWR!!!!

      Those scammers they promise to make up to $50,000 profit within the space of 7 days with just $500 to invest and end up not even refunding your capital but she’s a woman of integrity, with $500 he will tell you she can only make profit within the range of $4000 to $8,900 and she actually delivers… she’s great

    Guinness World Records has no oversight and isn’t an authority on anything other than how to market themselves. Literally the way you get a record “verified” by them is by paying them. It’s not an honest organization, many of their “records” are completely fake. They are just about as trustworthy as Snopes, PolitiFact, Wikipedia every other modern business that operates in the purview of “fact-checking”. They’re all snakes and none of them actually care about the truth, they care about money and their agenda.

    June 28, 2022 at 9:51 am

    No discussion about GWR being very little about actual achievement and more about paying to have your fame, with personal consulting to get you the most views etc.

    So who was the lucky one that gave Usain Bolt his Record Holder Certificate? That would have been the pinnacle of his career. 😃 👍
    I imagine hm on the podium, standing proud with the National Anthem playing, when a young excitable individual wearing a massive blue tie goes up to him… “Excuse me Mr Bolt, very well done, I have your framed GWR certificate here for you!”

    With all the new fee and safety rules, does the book still answer the original question of fastest gaming bird in Europe? Hunting a bird isn’t safe for the bird, and wild animals don’t have owners signing up with GWR.
    A similar problem applies to all the other records about loosing or failing or dying. Like “most painful death” (with subcategories)?

  91. Erik Marquez
