MrBeast has responded after he was parodied during a Saturday Night Live sketch called Beauty and MrBeast.
The YouTuber issued a statement to Dexerto about his portrayal in the now viral sketch that pokes fun at Disney’s classic movie.
“I didn’t know they were gonna talk about me, but the second it aired, my phone blew up haha,” he said. “Thought it was funny.”
Beauty and MrBeast appeared in the Nov. 9 episode of SNL that was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser. In the sketch, MrBeast (played by Ben Marshall of Please Don’t Destroy) replaces Belle’s love interest in a similar musical setup to the Disney film.
Where it differs is that instead of it being about breaking a curse, MrBeast decides to imprison Belle’s father for a chance to win over $300,000.
Joining in for the fun of the skit were Bowen Yang, who played talking candlestick Lumiere, and Kenan Thompson, who portrayed the talking clock Cogsworth. Both characters were participating in MrBeast’s wild stunts. Cogsworth even says, “If I live for one year as a clock, I get $2,500!” before a harsh realization hits him.
“I’m just realizing that’s not a lot of money,” joked Cogsworth.
In other MrBeast news, the YouTuber filed a trademark for his own banking app in October.
On Oct. 13, MrBeast's company Beast Holdings LLC filed a trademark for MrBeast Financial.
The trademark is for a banking services mobile app, with the potential to offer investment banking and cryptocurrency services, and even its own credit and debit cards.
