Body Language Analyst REVEALS the TRUTH Behind Markiplier [This is Clickbait-there's no drama] Ep. 4

hello everybody my name is markiplier and welcome back i can't i'm sorry i really can't i've i was gonna try to do like impersonations maybe i'll keep it up of all the youtubers that i'm gonna be covering in this series but i can't i even got this hair as kind of like a gag but after seeing it i don't know i don't i don't hate it i don't hate it i never was able to have long hair growing up should i record more videos with hair so sorry let's begin hey idiots welcome back to observe in today's video we're going to be looking at mark fischbach and his evolution of body language over the years that he has spent on the platform now for those of you who don't know mark had another channel before this but it was demonetized early on so we started the channel that we know and love today in 2012. i will be working with videos from the channel that we know and love today and so this first one comes eight years ago it's a birthday vlog there are other face cam videos that did appear before this but they all were too focused on the games and less on just speaking so this is the first one that i could find that would really be a good nonverbal read then we have one at the four year mark so halfway in between and then we have one from close to present day we're going to be looking at little snippets of each of these videos to be able to see how markiplier's body language evolution progresses throughout the years on youtube let's dive in [Music] so i have a wide viewership audience here on the channel so for those of you who don't know who markiplier is he is a gameplay comedy channel that has been running on the platform since 2012. he's played games like amnesia all the way through to happy wheels and more and many people love and know his content today not the least of which was a recent channel experiment that he carried out with ethan called unisonis and it was a huge success and had a very moving message to it one of the things that mark is best known for is his voice he has a very very deep and powerful speaking voice however today we're not talking about his speaking we're talking about his body language and that's enough said let's go ahead and start looking at some old footage of markiplier back in the day hello everybody today is my birthday yes yeah i'm 23 today okay right off the bat he already seems pretty comfortable in front of a camera he's not making a lot of eye contact but that's because he's looking at his screen so it's good to be able to see somebody who's pretty comfortable on camera from early years in their career now let's get something straight here this is not mark's first video in fact it's far from his first video he's already done dozens of videos before this so he's already had a lot of practice in this field that being said non-verbally speaking something that you could see right off the bat is the disconnect between his eyes and the bottom half of his face this disjointed nonverbal communication means that he's forcing a little bit of the enthusiasm that he's expressing here on the channel and that's not really too secretive to people who watch mark he is very very enthusiastic but he adds character to his play to where it comes across sometimes a little bit forced like this it's not a negative thing but it is still a nonverbal thing that we could take note of and i suppose that's cause for some celebration but i also wanted to take a moment to you know thank you guys as i usually do i don't thank you guys enough i don't get it you know even though i thank you every the end of every single video that's still not enough because you guys have done a tremendous job of getting my new channel back on its feet let me give you some more statistics just so you have an idea um the view count has been so his cadence is very very smooth he's not having too many ums and us but he does have them sprinkled in there this means that this is not a scripted piece this is mark talking to a camera as best as mark can talk to a camera at this time in his life and as you can see he's much younger than he is now but back here he really still seems quite natural with his presentation and he seems very energetic and easy to get along with and while his nonverbal communication is hard to see throughout the rest of his body from what we see from his facial expressions so far he's very very open and honest to the camera it's good to see slow but as of this video i have 1775 subscribers i have 10 928 likes 37 dislikes that's sad but you know in proportion that's that's a pretty amazing difference so generally like 2 300 a little bit of nervous fidgeting in regards to the dislikes on his video early years it's very very uncomfortable to see dislikes and negative feedback on your videos or on your channel and so i understand he's feeling quite agitated towards that enough for it to be able to leak out in his body language but what he says is true in comparison it's still a good thing nine favorites 1862 comments and a dismally low 56 shares i guess sharing is a different mechanic but i'm a bit sad that that's so low but that's okay um a little bit of forced expression in there once again part of his persona that he's displaying and this goofy fun-loving persona kind of carries on throughout the rest of his content for many many years to come and it's good to see that sort of consistency in organic content from a creator for so long all right so now we're about to enter in into the main hub of what everybody really knew markiplier as he had the bright red hair which i also at one point on this channel had red hair for a charity stream he did it for a charity stream and this look became iconic to him and it was really a capture of the gaming segment of youtube during this time the colorful hair the outgoing personalities this phone background this is all sides of youtube that we saw back in the day let's see what his nonverbal communication says though hey guys how's it going um i know this is a late upload and i'm kind of late to my own 12 million party already you can see more nonverbal communication expressing in his eyes than in the earlier one that means that he's more comfortable and he's less stressed about talking to a camera so while he's talking now his entire face is getting involved rather than just the lower half and this is a sign of a creator becoming more comfortable with presenting themselves on camera and the eyes are the easiest way to be able to tell that if a person's eyes are more or less stagnant the entire time and have no expression throughout the entirety of their speaking then they're more likely to be more uncomfortable on camera so non-verbally speaking we could see that mark is settled into who he is as a creator and it's good to be able to see that sincerity come from a creator on the platform in this sort of way uh but that's because i didn't know that i was going to be making a dedicated video like this uh because after me and the boys worked very hard on woof and we we set out to make that bigger and better and funnier than meow and we think it's good but i'll leave the judgment up to you guys you guys can check out woof compare the two i don't care links are in the description um but for those of you who don't know what woof and meow are just go and look it up their mouth replacements of animals they're actually quite funny but you can see that he is talking about it and he has feelings about it that he's not sharing and that's coming out by some of the defensive gestures that he's doing and the mouth blocking gestures that he's doing so he's quite proud of what he's done and i think he's worried that people won't like it as much despite how much work he put into it as far as this video goes i didn't want to do a dedicated video because part of me feels like i must sound annoying for how many times i repeat myself and i just got out of the shower that's why my hair is still wet and i was thinking about you know this whole youtube thing that i do and this whole channel that i have and and this dialogue that i have with you okay you can hear him add sincerity to his words by dropping his tone whenever a creator or a person is speaking to you and their tone drops in pitch a fair bit and even in the tone itself what comprises their voice the forcefulness or the gentleness of it that usually indicates sincerity so where he was talking up here and he's really dynamic and now he's dropping down and he's talking about his youtube and how it relates to you and this is him trying to be able to really meet eye to eye with you trying to talk to you as a creator so non-verbally speaking this is him attempting to show sincerity both in his tone and through his face you guys and um it's really interesting because on april 4th of 2012 i believe that's the day i might be wrong it's so long ago now uh i uploaded something that i will point out that's been a pattern from mark earlier to mark now is that he moves his head quite a bit while he speaks it's quite a lot of movement he's always kind of nodding and turning and shaking and looking and that high energy of head movement carries across from young young mark to mark that we're seeing here and it even pulls over some into mark today now here we are in present day modern day this is one of his most recent videos it's not his most recent video because that's a game play and those aren't as easy to use for non-verbal reads and here we can see the hair see i had a i had a point to the hair it was to match his hair now so let's see if this nonverbal energy with his head movements come in let's see if his eyes are continuing to express or has he maybe lost a little bit of authenticity over the years the eyes are going to be one of the more telling parts of this let's see what mark's nonverbal communication shows us in present day i have been missing for quite a few days um i have reasons why and i can't explain with 100 confidence hello hi yes i'm a little bit early thanks so much for being here and thanks for being patient um okay so mark is currently displaying much more subdued body language his tone and his pitch is lower and softer and that once again is his tell of implying sincerity and he is maintaining the continuity across his face the bottom half of his face is emoting the same level as the upper half of his face his eyebrows are active his eyes are active and that means that he's still maintaining sincerity for those of you who are watching mark and you're questioning is he just here for the show of it from what i understand at least non-verbally speaking he's not here for the show of it he's still showing sincerity he's still being mark fischbach not just markiplier he's really trying to be himself and display that camera and it's coming across well i really nothing amazing that you can expect out of this i don't know if anyone's coming into this expecting some big dramatic thing that's going to shatter all your expectations he's got a little bit of a contempt smile on his face and that means that he has a feeling of moral or intellectual superiority he has something that he's holding back from you and i'm sure that he's about to reveal that little blip here in a second as to what he's holding back from you but you can see that he had something planned about me and the channel and everything that's here um that's not necessarily the case i just want to say hi and say yeah i know i haven't been posting videos uh so hello been a while since i just said hi um i have been in writing hell absolute 100 writing hell so there we go he says that it wasn't anything but then he says that it was something there's reasons and that was that contempt smile that we saw and so far everything non-verbally speaking is genuine it's authentic he's not hiding anything beyond this from what i can tell but let's just keep seeing what mark's body language does you know how a few weeks ago i said i was missing uh that was all an excuse to write if you didn't know about that that was just an excuse um and i took that week and then five days out of that week i did nothing absolutely nothing and not because i'm lazy i swear it's i did nothing because it's interesting while he's saying that he did nothing he has a little bit of disgust creeping into the corners of his nose here and here which is a sign of distaste or disgust for what he's speaking about regardless he wasn't happy with the five days that he did nothing on i yes hello hi hi hello yes i have all right fine i do have big dramatic things to say i do have an incredibly important announcement to make but i'll make it at the very end of this stream there's that contemptuous smile that i was talking about earlier he had it he had something that he was hiding he had intellectual superiority he had something more than we had and here it's coming out that he has some big dramatic things to announce and that is actually going to be all that i do i know that these are very very short this video itself is extremely short and there's a couple reasons for that one i need to be able to better dedicate my time i want to be able to better dedicate my time to studies on big cases i also want to be able to give myself opportunities to have breaks on occasion and also it's easier for people to view and share videos that are shorter to other people and then the longer ones can come into play later on so that's why these are so short so punchy i understand that a lot of you would like much longer videos from me and i'm still making longer videos i just need these partially for my own sake and then also because i think it makes nonverbal communication and the study of how to read it more accessible and consumable for just just about anyone so that being said let's talk about a little bit about mark and how he developed non-verbally throughout honest-to-goodness the biggest differences that i saw in markiplier's non-verbal communication was largely on his face in relation to his eyes earlier on and this is consistent with his earlier videos his eyes emoted far less and that was due to the nerves that he was feeling and also because he's not used to performing in front of a camera whenever you're performing in front of a camera everything has to be in sync for it to be able to come across as natural and that's why when you watch early early videos of youtubers or even actors and actresses any on-screen talent it feels just bad is the way that people would put it it feels disconnected it's bad acting and it's so often due to the fact that a person is too caught up in their own nerves in their head to be able to allow their bodies to flow naturally in their non-verbal communication so we saw that unlock in mark as he continued on through if you would like me to be able to go and look through the annals of time for one of your favorite creators or actors or actresses or anybody who performs on screen let me know who they are in the comments below i'll eventually hold another poll and run that so that we can see who's the most requested if you have a way to be able to get this video to mark go ahead and share it to him he might enjoy watching it if you have a true crime content that you would like me to be able to take a look at a case from any time in history let me know in the comments below i'll hold another poll and select the most popular one i believe the next one that i will be working on is jody so if you would like to be able to see that one hit subscribe hit like and ding the bell and you'll be able to see it pretty darn quick it should be coming out this friday no promises but it should be but but without further ado that's all that i've got for today my name is logan and you have been oh so awesome as you always are and i will see you in the next video cheers guys [Music]
