RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA — In a surprise announcement on his “Beast Philanthropy” channel Mr. Beast revealed the reboot of the controversial “Bumfights” series from the early 2000s. 

In a video entitled “I Pay Two Homeless Guys to Beat The SHIT Out of Each Other!” MrBeast AKA Jimmy Donaldson explains the motivation behind the revival of the long dormant series.

“If season two of Beast Games taught me anything, it’s that I can’t stand when people work together for a common goal,” Mr. Donaldson said, “Frankly, the amount of teamwork and camaraderie I saw was disgusting. I’m generous enough to give away my money, and you’re going to spit in my face by not dancing for the camera when I call action? I don’t think so. That’s when I decided to bring back Bumfights. So I can finally deal with someone who is grateful for what I’m offering. And is willing to beat another man until his legs stop working to get it.”

Bumfights creator Ryen McPherson offered comment on the reboot.

“I’m just glad to see Bumfights go to a good home,” McPherson said. “I started this series when I was a kid basically, and now I’m handing it off to another young man with a whole lifetime of exploiting the least fortunate to turn a buck ahead of him. Well, not so much handing it off so much as selling the rights for an undisclosed amount, but at the end of the day all that matters is we can still share a laugh together at the expense of a humiliated lower class citizen.”

At the end of the premiere episode of the rebooted Bumfights Mr. Donaldson looked directly into the camera while the blood of the loser pooled around his stark white sneakers before he spoke to the audience.

“He just didn’t want it bad enough,” Mr. Donaldson said in the video, and stepped over the corpse of the unnamed man. “At least it’ll be a cheap funeral. Congratulations to our winner,” Mr. Donaldson then pulled the other bloodied, but still standing fighter into the frame before dipping his finger in the dead man’s now coagulated blood on the floor and drawing a smiley face on the winner’s cheek. “You should smile,” He said, and caressed the man’s cheek, leaving behind another streak of blood. “It could be you on the floor. Now take your money and get the fuck out of my studio.” He then turned back to the camera and donned his famous demon’s leer. “And that’s gonna do it for the first episode of Bumfights!”

At press time, Mr Beast was seen dropping a truckload of corpses off at the Lunchly factory.
