By now, most of us know the end of Monsters Inc. The Monsters discover that the screams they've been using as a power source are not the most optimized way to do business. Which, you know, is good to find out given the terror they've been puting generations of kids through. Thanks to the adventures of Sully, Mike and Boo, they find out laughter works even BETTER than the sreams. What I want to know, Theorists, is WHY that is and, more importantly, did the Monsters actually make a big MISTAKE?

    “Seems the child isn’t yelling loud enough. Let’s motivate them with a controlled shock.”
  • Kids: make a power source from sound and only get the silver medal Dr doofenshmirtz : first time?
  • @Anon_The_Wizard
    I think the reason the monsters don't scare the adults is because children forget about the monsters when they grow up, but if it started happening to adults then the whole human world would know about the monster world.
  • @ryderlead
    can you imagine the humans in the monster inc world? millennials: the monsters in our closets made us laugh boomers: the monsters in our closets would make us scream and cry, it’s why your generation is so soft
  • @girgriffin
    Monster: "I wish kids would just stick to Minecraft." Kids: Buys Lego Minecraft
  • @jaxonsazle
    It's like Dr. Doofenshmirtz all over again. Create a world ending device and lose to a baking soda volcano.
  • "because kids these days are losing their fear of monsters " *7 year old me learning about dead kids being stuffed in suits and being raised on game theory * "I wonder why?"

    Title: "The BIG Mistake of Monsters Inc" MatPat: Actually explains why it makes sense to do what happened in the movie
  • @ChengTeoh
    I'm shocked that "love" wasn't the most powerful power source. ;)
  • @HarryWizard
    I just realised that between monsters inc going from scream energy to laughter energy, a bunch of really scary monsters lost their job...
  • @Harl3inger
    seriously, whoever is doing the special intros needs raise
  • "you don't have to be afraid of monsters because the real world is filled with so much worse" I'm gonna tell that to my kids every night before bed
  • @jordan4835
    I’ve always been confused as to why they only targeted children. I’m sure any adult would be scared out of their mind if a monster came out of their closet.😂😅
  • @yadni3822
    MatPat mentions Pisay students: Pisay Students: finally all our hard work has paid off
  • If adults found out that monsters are real, they might have been scared the first night, but they'd have 5 friends with shotguns waiting for the monster the next night.
  • @reaperqueen9162
    I feel like they don’t scare adults because there’s always the chance of them trying to figure out how the portals work and trying to come to the monster world
  • As a parent who currently shares a room with her 6 year old son, that intro was me trying to get to bed every night 😂
  • That sound based energy thing is really cool. It would be great if they could do it on a larger scale. Imagine powering your house with literal AC/DC!
