Key Takeaways
- Jimmy MrBeast Donaldson joined an internet trend started by creator Will Baron
- The trend involved ads, forehead jokes, and a playful boxing challenge from KSI
- Will Baron is also known online as Wilfred
Forehead ad idea
The stunt began when creator Will Baron, also known online as Wilfred, decided to sell temporary advertising space on his forehead after noticing many followers joked about his large forehead.
“Jimmy MrBeast Donaldson, one of the biggest creators on YouTube, recently joined a strange but funny internet trend that started with another small creator”
Baron said the spaces would cost between $300 and $600 per week depending on placement and created a Google Form where companies or creators could request a spot.
He said he would promote the brands in videos and explained the plan: “Yes, this is real. I am selling temporary advertising space on my forehead. Serious inquiries only. I’ll do one video a week in a viral format with jokes and explain each brand that bought space.”
MrBeast buys in
Jimmy MrBeast Donaldson stepped in after the post spread and publicly offered to buy all of Baron’s forehead ad space, writing “I’ll BUY IT ALL.”
Baron later shared screenshots showing a message from MrBeast confirming he was interested, and MrBeast reportedly told him, “I will buy all of it, lock me in.”
The exchange attracted attention because MrBeast is known for turning unusual internet ideas into viral content.
KSI’s boxing reply
MrBeast then tagged Olajide “KSI” Olatunji on a Dexerto post on X and asked, “@KSI how much is an ad on your forehead?”
“Jimmy MrBeast Donaldson, one of the biggest creators on YouTube, recently joined a strange but funny internet trend that started with another small creator”
Instead of giving a price, KSI replied with a playful boxing challenge, suggesting MrBeast would first need to survive a round in the ring.
KSI is noted in the article for wearing a headband and often receiving jokes from fans about his forehead.
Viral spread and status
The exchanges quickly went viral across social media, especially on X, with many fans joking about a possible MrBeast and KSI boxing match and other creators joining the trend by offering their own foreheads for advertisements.
For now, it is still unclear whether MrBeast will actually place an ad on Will Baron’s forehead, but the conversation has already turned Baron’s post into a viral topic across social media.
