## Transcript

This time for the month of July 2026 to see all the best stuff Hopefully, there has been some great submissions this month
[Matt screams] A man has been charged with impersonating an FIB [FBI] agent after allegedly shooting himself and claiming he was injured in the line of duty
[ULP] Detain this man! I mean, it was at least successful for Steve [Dave] Steve, put your gun down
Do not try this at home, or really anything you see in GTA V This is a 100% true I've seen this guy all over TikTok
and all I remember are GTA 5 NPC quotes You f*cker! No, I don't miss your 10-inch d*ck
'Cause you sold my dog for crack! Davidmaddoxreal There aren't cougars in missions
Last heist, and this is what I pull off
It's garbage, is what it is You see, it's not actually a mission You are wrong, Chicken Burger Enthusiast
Nothing I say here will be seen or remembered We got him! typing this exact same thing all the time
[Speaks gibberish] the person who does my subtitles Excalibur is savaging me
which is perhaps even worse [Reading comment] Lowkey learned English with the old speedrun livestreams
Upvote this to scare Matto If you missed the video, Fun fact, one of you guys contacted Commonwealth Bank
'cause you were moving to Australia and you were gonna use them as your bank you said 'cause I made my video What utter lies!
I showed off in rambles that there coincidentally where it's just nonstop people complaining And how sh*t it's gotten and how terrible its service is
They are terrible Starting slow Me looking like Butcher from The Boys
Me when I was in New York When I was in Melbourne to put on Instagram
My avatar that Rue made for me 10 years ago Think I was setting up my Valve index? Okay, same one as before
I like this one I actually posted some of them to my other social media But thank you, Professional
Matto in the new heist Is my forehead elongated there? That is definitely not how big my forehead is, okay?
[Reading comment] This might get into the July Reddit Recap, He did go through the comments in the last Reddit Recap, Guess I better do some funny reply to this,
I guess I have really pretty balls This is like the oldest meme ever My balls after shaving
Elite ball knowledge No one has this many balls! Everything About The Kortz Center Heist DLC
For those who didn't watch the video, there was actual anal This is why you need to watch every video that I release [Matt laughs]
This is just nothing But it's somehow so funny DarkVIperAU My many adventures around the world
[Matt laughs] and they just went “oh, there’s Peli in the corner” Post so good even Matt started dancing?
How is this a video? DarkViperAU holding a black Viper next to a black Dodge Viper This does actually look like the Banshee GTS in GTA online
Could you not have like removed my gut there? Praying he fixes his skill issues by November
Watching Matt blame controllers for why he sucks at gaming GTA 6 on launch with the controller Every fail is going to be the controller's fault
I’ve never failed on keyboard and mouse before [Reading comment] The Saints Row video was genuinely a pain to watch I've b*tched and whinged so much
Or, "That's pretty funny" Other people are like, "How dare you slander the good name of my controller?" Fan meets DarkViperAUs
[Matt laughs] What I love about this image, is, they're all different faces of me
and then one fan in the middle Except for this one, which is just me f*cked up Wait there’s no...
This arrow is nothing! Watching a two-hour movie Watching a seven-hour DarkViperAU speedrun
My first PB in seven years, I lost my marbles like Like, there were some crash outs That was a mega crash out
you didn't get it recommended because it was age-gated They no joke age-gated for a stupid reason And it's still age-gated!
[Reading YouTube’s response] Hi Matt, thank you for reaching out about the demonetization I've reached out to our Trust and Safety Policy Ops team They'll get back to me within a few business days with an update
I appreciate your patience Thanks for doing that It's just unfortunate that I w-
-that this was my first speedrun improvement in seven years and I spent literally months working to make this run
I would love to know, most importantly, despite my doing exactly what was asked
Mistakes happen with age-gating I even explained that to my viewers
The rejection of the appeal after blurring the screen Okay! No!
Honestly, right now, the most painful thing for me about this heist It gives so little money
Like, I thought it was bad doing the original heists And I wasn't even doing the setups and that took so long how long is it gonna take me?
It's like 400k per heist, 35 minutes per speedrun It will take me 73 hours of speedrunning the heist Understand, that's perfectly optimally
Which doesn't happen That's insane dude Yikes
but at least I did all the other heists before this happened to do the awards and career progress now, effectively impossible
Matto playing GTA Online for five minutes [Matt laughs] For the first time in a long time, I feel like...
Wait, is that two different voices? For the first time in a long time, I feel like... He's wearing a black tank top too, that's funny!
I have been enjoying the speedruns of I got other things I need to do The series has returned!
You're as beautiful as the day I lost you Zoom into his eyes for a subtle detail It's the thumbnail in his eyes? Oh, that makes sense
I was sick when I filmed this Oh my God! This is a terrible angle Holy sh*t
Two, why did you record it? I bring back series and even months later, I still
YouTube just doesn't recommend it to everyone There's like 20 something episodes! ...try to hopefully work to be back to current day
I'm pulling more people onto the project, to hopefully get out more episodes but I've started the way that I've started now Power of a Haircut 2
Nah, I'm lying to you I was wearing pants The first one got, like, no views?
This is not my real beard! Oh, it's the thing!
There's a game where you're a little dude He’s right there And...
This is basically "Where's Waldo?" for current generation You could say this fish was millions to one The fish I wanted
So you can swim in ice and you don't, like, die And I just grab a piece of ice and...
Disingenuous and dense as seen through the reflections of my remote What?
[Reading comment] As Nolan intended [Matt laughs ] Yes, the GTAmen clip
It was a mistake that cost me an entire run [Midnight Swim playing in background]
[Midnight Swim playing in background] [Matt] I saw that corpse I was like... I died to this stupid f*cking song as well!
This corpse here, it gets caught on this corpse I feel his pain, I hate them Facts and features you probably [don’t] know #1
If it has been, I'll never forgive you [Voiceover] It feels sort of strange to say it out loud, but over the last 5000 years I have spent over four hours speedrunning GTA 5
Smoking dope and jerking off while he plays that f*cking game Here is Franklin's garage
I originally intended for this video to be longer, but if it does well, I hope you're all doing we- Did he show where the other garages are?
This guy's probably got a bright future ahead of him in telling people stuff A garage, yellow car
[Speaking gibberish] I can't understand you Stop calling me!
Brush plays AU Noire Why?
I believe in the video I kept mistaking hand mirrors for brushes and so he replaced the brush with my face for some reason Awful
Australia! Gambling in a casino? When you really think about it, missions are a form of gambling too /s
If you want to know my full thoughts on Australia being the 56th country has been banned in, I made a full video on it It's either because there's gambling legislation
that is coming in the future in Australia to very mildly reduce But that wouldn't target he online casinos But it's also possible that the legislation revolving around
could have also inspired this, but who knows if that's true This took eight hours and is made of a total of 53 clips
We’ve been doing well, making money Now I found a friendly ship captain We just need to pay passage and give him money for land
We will disappear Be reborn An untouched paradise
Absolute cinema AI to replicate a person's voice, to get them to say whatever you want If you guys want to make something like this in the future, use Filmot
Tahiti Guy who runs the site does good stuff Good thing you told us the source of this image
In an alternate timeline I know that, but I can't do it any other way, as I don't have any other tools than what I did it in
Aww Matto is such a cutie Heart emoji Heart emoji Heart emoji
[Matt laughs] My second question, is also why? This is also my favorite thing
Lamar with sexyback spell applied But If I did, I want him to be just like you
[Simeon] Hello Lamar! in Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged like 15 years ago Like, every time this guy appears on screen, this plays
History is just a circle, it all comes back around Cheap parlor tricks are extremely erotic Almost as old as that song Sexy Back came out in 2006
If my math is correct, that's like, a long time ago Eepy Matto Okay, did not see that coming
I shouldn't allowed access to the internet Awful! Simply awful! But this car, I can do the exact same thing
WHAT? THERE AREN’T COUGARS IN ROCKET LEAGUE! No clue!
I have played Rocket League before, when it first came out in 2015, over ten years ago Matto, you are not going to say anything about this?
makes the most sense to be hung up in some sort of art exhibition value $107,500
[Reading chat] Do we not have a sitting emote? It's actually one of my favorite emotes and I think we should add it
Let's do this! There's snow way his delusional ahh thinks he's funny That roast was certainly ice cold
Snow way he actually pulled the house down Wait, that doesn't work Umm... Snowleto Bay
This is snow time for jokes I must beat my children Michael changed his name to De Santa because it sounds like Santa
And that's like snow thing We're stealing ice Get it?
You remember in that movie when he was like “ice to meet you” They produce all this white stuff
That's pretty n-ice You missed a snow-lot
I'm sick of snowy-shores Well, I'll kill them another time [Lester] -Cut of the jewel store take to your account
You mean the ice store take How do you get the snail on GTA PlayStation?
It's in the Constitution But thank you My snow puns are...
[Reading comment] He isn't funny which is funny They’re just jokes! Mikey, how you doing?
[Amanda] Michael calm down Before I scroll down, I thought to myself, what if I did a thing [Reading comment] New challenge idea
No! Palou leading from McLaughlin 14!
I think a lot of people have no idea where it's from, whenever it comes up During the Reddit Recap
There's no way they're going to make the heist grind to 50 mil If you're gonna f*ck my wife, you better do it for free And $50 million
Why? Rockstar? Why? but they made it so the heist pays out nothing!
it may as well be 100 million Based off normal amount that heists give
Bro: Why am I not getting matches on dating apps Who wouldn't love this? Bro is still handsome just for a different era
[Matt laughs] What the f*ck is this? This is E This is sideways this is an E, this is not W
Why does he sleep like this on stream? He is happy now
Terrible camera angle Matto has infinite meme potential
Random a*se kid who's staring at me A remix I made, full song You disingenuous dense motherf*cker
tie your sho- You disingenuous dense motherf*cker Obviously you have to know something about something or you couldn't, Disingenuous!
You disingenuous dense motherf*cker! ...motherf*cker Dense!
THERE AREN’T COUGARS IN MISSIONS! THIS IS MILLIONS TO ONE!
You disingenuous, dense motherf*cker You disingenuous, dense motherf*cker Dense motherf*cker!
Good as this is, been like five years with those memes man Intie, you got some talent there DarkViperAU grinding heists, contact missions and more
completing them for career progress every day for six months to get them done They called me a madman and they did! Matto being mean to a poor kid
[Chat TTS] Matto my grandmother unfortunately passed away two months ago I've taken up hitting my hookah to cope with the pain when I was helping my little sister with her homework
Car blow Kaboom That sounds tragic [Matt laughs]
I mean, it could happen Those bazooka attacks are all too common nowadays How did he not see it? Rolling eyes emoji
Oh wait wait wait I did a full circle? I didn't see it? [Chat TTS] I got divorced the other day by my sister [Matt laughs]
Huh? There aren't boars in cutscenes!
Aitana would be disappointed Okay, so Venezuela is... Venezuela has to be somewhere in this region
I don't know NO! STOP!
I'll do Play Geography again I will, I will ace it because people shouldn't watch that Is Paris in Italy?
Michael De Santa as part of his witness protections cheme NO- He did go into witness protection
Witness protection is a very rigid system He isn't and wasn't He even says it himself when talking to Lester on Casing The Jewel Store
he’s law enforcement wouldn't want anyone but him and then going into witness protection it doesn't make sense
Well, it was unofficial witness protection I mean, he's not wrong, but like, Michael's just lying
It's like being an unofficial lawyer where you don't have You're not a lawyer
You're either officially a lawyer or you're not a lawyer 100% of all DarkViperAU fans have an IQ higher than 250
IQ tests are built using a bell curve where 100 is the set middle point DarkViperAU scores above 250 I don't think that's even possible
That's like so many standard deviations away Dviperpew Very cute
Twins at the carousel meme Matt's version Y'all f*ck with this trend, right? It was everywhere
and I saw Garchomp versus Sylveon one I understand nothing about this, but I appreciate the effort that went into it Thank you everyone who submitted stuff for the subreddit
I appreciate all the support you guys give me I will continue to do my best to do meme worthy things Keep in mind, there are over 1100 GIFs now of me
that have gotten like half a billion views collectively If you want to communicate to some- someone- They're always the best for it
Thank you for watching Boop!
