I came for Markiplier. These other people I don't know about but Markiplier is my idol. He's like the dad I never had. When my own birth father was always drunk when I visited, Markiplier and his videos was my escape from reality.
seeing markiplier on the tv was like whiplash wtf
This made my night.....i suffer from mental issues and none ever says this to me....just to hear this made me cry and smiles cuz at least some people care..

Asked once. Hearing those words from in the video would be like someone in a Royal family asking that. Imagine a Queen going to you, specifically _you_ out of anyone she could have spoken to but chose you and asking you if you are ok, how your day was, are you having a good time, are you having trouble with anything. I just ended up blanking out.
Me: this looks bor- *sees Tyler Posey in the thumbnail* Me: never mind

It's literally called "Seize the Awkward". This isn't serious in the slightest.
That's mah boi, Markimoo 😄😄😄 omg,so happy that these are there to care for us.. I just wish Mark could at least talk to me😢but my lord I luvvvvv him so much❤️❤️❤️
Ooh Markiplier
I felt so touched when markiplier said it like I started tearing up I know this was an add but when he said it, it sounded like he cared really much and that he meant it
Damn Tyler with the beard! Love the message guys keep up with the work.
Everyone’s talking about mark, but what about Tyler posey!?! 😱😱😍
No one: Literally no one: This comment section: *Markiplier*
Good message. Glad to see KZreadrs raising awareness for these things
0:34 that’s when the ad on tv I saw started
*Now these are the quality ads that I can accept seeing on my videos.*
Ok, but Mark calling us his friend is too much for my heart to handle 🥺💗
Can't believe this made me cry

when Mark said "Listen, your my friend." I actually lost it Anyone else not in tears right now?
MARKIMOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fantastic way to get it out there about helping people with mental health issues. This needs to be shared and tweeted and seen by a lot of people, keep it up guys.
You know what makes me really happy about this video? The fact that there will most probably be Markimoo's interview. It's been so long since he's done this, yeeees!
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK
I was surprised when I saw Markiplier in a commercial video, but it was so cool to see KZreadrs participate in this!
This is amazing
AD council: look at all these youtubers :) The comments:MARKIPLIER
yall talking bout markiplier. lets talk bout liza koshy
Thanks, everyone. I needed this.
Although short this commercial makes me tear up everytime. I suffer from bpd and bipolar and I often wish I had friends to talk to. Most of my friends don't bother with me unless theres something they want. Also I'm here for anyone who ever wants to talk 💖
This is a keeper. Needs to be all over the place so people can see it.
The message is... just SO strong, and the music completely negates it all-
I'm here cuase I saw mark and Tyler Posey
Why am I just now seeing this on TV?!
I’ve been mentally ill for my whole life, starting with OCD and anxiety then gaining all different types of depression and food issues and so much more. Yesterday, I was talking to my friend and we were talking about mental health and I admitted to someone for the first time that I’d been mentally ill for so long and that I’ve wanted to end my life before. She filled the awkward silence and I got to finally admit this. This is the most real and impressive mental health ads I’ve seen. Thank you
“Yes I’m fine....” is always my response but it’s all not really fine

This ... that’s exactly what happens... the issue is not to talk but to be able to have that person to whom you will not stop at saying “ I’m fine “ , that will be able to sympathize but will keep it real with you and FOR YOU TO BE RECEPTIVE TO IT ...
its so funny cause nobody every actually thinks like this and... i hurt...
This is a great ad! I love how you are spreading the word to have people not be awkward about asking someone if they are alright. A lot of people have that problem and i think you guys did an amazing job in showing that it is alright to ask!
The flipside of this is where the real struggle is, would love to see one covering that.
Ok but the irony is that this video is accidentally really awkward. Not because they are acting awkward but because they are trying so hard and failing. They are treating the word “awkward” like this fungible novelty. Do they even know what it means anymore? If my best friend runs over my dog the same day that he’s gonna ask me if he can date my sister, That’s awkward. Not just talking to a friend about feelings.
This is great. When I was struggling with depression, even people I wasn’t best friends with showing support in little ways meant a hell of a lot to me. From personal experience, it’s so so much better to have an awkward moment and a friend know you’re there for them than a perfectly normal conversation while they feel alone.
This is so cool and wholesome though
Okay but Markiplier saying listen youre my friend almost made me cry.
Thank you for being in the thumbnail Markiplier. You got this video another view.
Guys Markiplier just looked me IN THE EYE and told me he’s my friend!
I just love how this is meant to be serious but I just can’t take it seriously bc of the happy music
This ad started playing on a screen at work and I cannot begin to describe the sheer confusion I felt upon seeing Mark’s face in a public context
My mans Mark has one of the most soothing voices I’ve ever heard. Could listen to him talk about how he murdered someone and still be like “It’s okay, you wanna murder me too”?

Just saw this commercial. All the feels.
It doesn’t matter how you ask, it matters that you ask.
this would be something mark would do. he really is a amazing man.
This is amazing, and i love it. As someone who struggles with mental health issues and has for most of my life, i just want to add that if you do tell someone that you want to help/are there to talk, reach out more than once, start that conversation more than just once. Because i found it felt more like people were doing what was expected of them and when it was never brought up again, i felt like i couldn't reach out because they didn't really care. When someone is struggling it can be really hard to reach out, and that continues even after someone says they want to help. But if the conversation is there more often it gives the person struggling more opportunities to talk about it without feeling like an imposition, and hopefully wont worry as much about the person they're talking to not caring. (but also please don't harass your friends/family, say it often enough but it doesn't need to be said every day)
I saw this on T.V. and I was blown away. This is powerful in a simple and quick way.
I forgotten to mention that I've not ever seen this commercial before and saw it this morning and it was awesome 👍 because I unfortunately have this problem and been suffering for years and thank you all for your support (the ones in the commercial) and trying to be more social with my coworkers and everyone else that I meet with
Adds with Markiplier know what's up
That's so cool that mark and Tyler Oakley in their and everything in the video was good wow 😇
Markiplier and Tyler Posey in the same video, best video ever
I’m so happy that they are raising awareness for this. At my school there have been 3 suicides over the course of 6 months, two of them ten days apart.
#MARKIPLIER IS LIFE
They put Markiplier on the thumbnail not only to get the weirdos to come but also the gamers. And it fucking worked. But yes awkward silences are painful which is why I start saying stupid shit to break the ice. Can't get any worse when you've already started doing dumb shit together.
Awh ❤️ this was so sweet. I needed this a lot.
This made my day a lot better. I felt like Mark was talking to me when he said “you’re my friend”
i saw this this morning on tv and said is that mark
Respect honestly. I love how these people used their platform to it’s full potential.
Truly a great video. Love this. Teaches us to approach this subject and not avoid it because it's awkward.
No matter how you ask. Hmmmm I beg to differ. Please don’t walk up to people and ask direct questions when you don’t really know them. For example, walking up to someone and saying “hey, you seem really reserved, do you have anxiety or depression?” No please don’t do that. It puts that person in a situation where they feel forced to be honest, but they may not be ready to talk yet
Good mark is here and we need this
Dude... I started crying during this...
This is AWESOME! Totally spreading the word on this
This was uploaded on my birthday last year
0:39 is perfection
Why am I sobbing at this rn?
I have struggled with mental health for a while, and today wasn't a very good day, I was extremely depressed, didn't eat hardly anything, shut myself out from the people I normally talk to and really felt like a huge bother to them. But when I saw this, and saw Markiplier; the man who always made my day a bit brighter no matter how bad I felt. When he said he wanted to know how we were feeling I broke down and vented, although knowing damn good and well that he couldn't hear. I didn't care, I sound like a crazy fan now that I'm typing it out, but I don't care, his smile brings a smile to my face and he's just an all around relatable guy. I'm sure someone has someone else that they look up to the same way I do right? God I hope I don't sound insane...
This means so much
I'm watching bad boys and this commercial came up and I saw mark and he is young
I clicked to see markiplier. But this is actually could help people

More people should see this :') great job guys!
I'm back, watching another ad.
I saw this a few minutes ago. I saw Mark for a quick second. I was like. "Nah that's not Mark." Then I went back and looked at the commercial. I was like "MARK!" So I came here to make sure I wasn't going crazy
Besides the inappropriate music at the end, this was wonderful ane very very well done!
i love this video 😭🤧
Can I just say this is a brilliant ad campaign
Good for them. Thank you.
Amazing PSA! Great job Remi! Means a lot to see people talking about this. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia 2 years ago and it’s important to talk about mental health.
I'm glad people support these types of things
We all know since the watermark we had to watch this for markiplier😳
I’m glad that this video was made, I have a couple of friends who understand me for who I am, I was diagnosed with Tourette’s at the age of 9 with came with things such as aspergers adhd add and a ton more so I’m glad that videos like these exist so thanks
lmao i saw this in my health class
Not Gonna Lie, I Accidentally Clicked On This But Now I Feel A Bit Better, Thank You
Very epic.
I actually just started crying
This made my day
