The gaming news outlet Dexerto has once again shared a tech analysis of the video on their social media, and to honest, it is…a lot. The tweet only says, “Maybe the worst Fall Guys player ever,” with a link to the video appearing next. And honestly? They might just be right. This wasn’t just a bad round, but it was a masterpiece of failure. A symphony of ‘how on earth could you possibly even get there?’ We are talking about a gamer in the jelly-bean battle royale Fall Guys who apparently lost track of the main gameplay mechanics of, you know, being a video gamer.

A video uploaded by user u/ylifeisgut on Reddit features an individual who is already on the final round of the game. The goal is pretty transparent, as it is often in Fall Guys: be the first to reach the finish line. But this specific bean… it seems like they are playing a completely different game. The movements are super tentative; the jumps are either mistimed or just not attempted at all. It is such a spectacle that you cannot help but lean in to your screen and say ‘dude… just press the button.’ One of the comments by Pixel Throne captures the situation very well, “THAT’S ACTUALLY INSANE. This man really said ‘I don’t know what a jump button is’. Fall Guys is this funny only for that reason.”

And this is indeed the case, isn’t it? Fall Guys are all about the unexpected. It’s a game where you could be at the front one second and then the next you’re getting knocked into the gunk by the hammer. Not only did this player fail, but he also had the honor of being the worst in the game designed for ridiculous failure. It was a non-heroic, tripping-over-your-own-feet type of success. Kryptorush in the comments gave a spot-on analogy: “He’s the reason the Spectate button was created. It’s not a game anymore, it’s a comedy show.” You wouldn’t even be mad if this jellybean was on your team; it would just be the case that you were so caught up in the tragedy-comedy of the situation that was right in front of you.

The community’s response was a mix of sheer disbelief and empathetic cringing. SlyChimera pointed out the real victims: “Imagine all the players who didn’t proceed to the last round because of that player.” Ouch! That really is a hard one. Just try to picture yourself going through the early rounds, getting eliminated, and then seeing this. Helium Wars even took a philosophical line, suggesting, “‘Worst Fall Guys player ever’ is a fierce competition because of how chaotic that game is, impressive in its own way.” And they are completely right! In a crazy setting, reaching a new low requires… that much of a dedication.

But not everyone was celebrating the clumsy bean at the moment. The tweet sparked the usual debates on social media, as some people have raised their voices against the circumstance, like dempstrr, who was doubtful about the very premise: “@Dexerto how does this count as news.” That’s reasonable. Is it even news? Not probably according to the rule in the conventional way of ‘studio announcement’. However, in the gaming culture, these cases of absurdity that are shared are the news. It’s what people discuss at the water cooler, it’s what everyone is sharing because it’s too funny not to play with. Others like eifel65 went for a classic sneer: “nobody cares about this dead game.” Harsh! But isn’t it the truth that even the deep involvement of the people with this tweet indicates the contrary? They still watch, they still laugh.

Moreover, a little conspiracy theory even undeniably sprouted. User SSt3ak made a joke, “I’m convinced that the Dexerto admin just really likes Fall Guys 😭,” while NoChill_Austin asked, “Are you guys getting paid to promote this game or something?” It’s a pictorial – that a clip of someone being so bad could be a secret marketing tactic. But then again, if it is, it’s a smart one. Because who wouldn’t like to watch someone fail so badly that he/she/it thinks ‘oh, I can’t be that bad’? Right?…Right?

The crowd’s suggestions and opinions were all… diverse. JoEdAdOn27 called for extreme measures: “Bro needs to delete the game and explore other options.” Some other activity like planting. Or playing a very peaceful slow puzzle game. GainRangerHeffe, however, would like a more straightforward method: “Get that dude off the server.” Simultaneously, NoBanks Nearby with a self-deprecating statement disputed the claim and remarked, “Rookie numbers. Just wait till you see me.” Well, This kind of viral moment is often shared across platforms like PlayStation and Xbox networks.
