    "what is matpat's full name? Matthew Patrick." lies, we all know it's Matthew Patthew.
  • @SirPanikalot778
    Matpat's now going to be the internet's Stan Lee. He's just going to appear everywhere for no apparent reason.
  • @ARCtrooper65
    Honestly I was going to be mad about how it seems all of a sudden everyone seems to be abusing MatPat's retirement, but looking at the positive comments made me realize they aren't abusing his retirement, but celebrating his life, and that we get to share one last journey with MatPat.
  • @0zer0ne1
    Rest in peace Ronnie, he truly helped to start the biggest shows on youtube. If only he could have seen it today
  • Matpat beat the main game and now he's doing all the sidequests he had to skip along the way
  • @evanlim9098
    2:17 “I am retired!” proceeds to appear in every other corner of the internet
  • "his name was Ronnie Edwards" and now I'm crying. He was so pivital to game theory and it sounds like he was an amazing friend too. I am so happy to have heard him be mentioned here. May he rest in peace.
  • 11:51 I just imagine MatPat talking to Stephanie like some evil villain monolog, "With our two powers combined, we will be unstoppable"
  • @Reeon
    now that mat's retired i cant wait to continue seeing him pop up in the most random places on yt 😭😭
  • @teeleaf9252
    MatPat retirement arc is something really special. Instead of never seeing him again , we're seeing him everywhere and I love it.
  • @jacobscrue
    MatPat NEEDS to be a gameshow host, he has the perfect charisma and energy for it
  • Matt and Steph's relationship started as academic rivals, I'm actually screaming that so adorable
  • @deaddddy
    Matpat theorizing his searched question is him theorizing on google
  • @superxavxii421
    I want that shirt. Also, I love his answer to the "Why is Matpat smart" question. Having a good support group in school really can determine how much you grow to love learning about new things. I really appreciate the teachers I had that encouraged us to be creative and found ways to make learning fun.
  • I love how he's not correcting most of the questions' grammar because he's so used to us lol...
  • Matpat: Goodbye internet Also matpat:I'm actually still doing a lot of stuff online, I'm just not the face of the theory channels anymore.
  • @NymphieJP
    I'm really glad he brought up Ronnie. I watched his stuff back when it first launched/was first uploaded. It's touching he cares and remembers him so fondly.
  • @Xclemyy
    I love how matpat is retired and now he’s showing up everywhere as Easter eggs
