Fitness influencer Ashton Hall recently captured attention with his morning routine, which became a sensation across social media. On March 24, 2025, YouTube phenomenon MrBeast decided to weigh in on the trend, sharing a humorous post on X (formerly Twitter) that poked fun at Hall’s ritual. MrBeast posted a screenshot depicting a message from his personal assistant, humorously suggesting he perform odd tasks like jumping into a pool and massaging a banana peel onto his face. The caption read:
“I accidentally slept in and missed my morning routine..”
To provide some context, Hall’s routine, shared the same day, showcased his disciplined lifestyle filled with strict schedules for exercise, work, and dietary practices, which amusingly included actions like diving into a pool and rubbing a banana peel on his skin.
However, the internet’s reaction to MrBeast’s post was largely critical. Many users highlighted that the humor of the situation had become stale. One comment succinctly expressed, “the joke officially died,”indicating a sentiment of weariness among viewers.
“The joke officially died,” wrote one user.
Critiques continued as users commented on MrBeast’s perceived over-exaggeration, stating that having a “Personal Assistant”is not as impressive as suggested. “You ruin every joke on the internet,”lamented another user, emphasizing the overwhelming reaction against his humor.
“You ruin every joke on the internet,” wrote another X user.
“Having someone in your phone as Personal Assistant is not a flex,” criticised one user.
“You put him in the phone underneath personal assistant? Poor guy doesn’t even have a name,” pointed out one user.
While some netizens echoed similar sentiments, others were simply confused, questioning if MrBeast was actually making fun of someone or needing clarification on the humor behind his post.
“Don’t ruin the joke, man stay away,” advised one user.
“What is he talking about? Is he making someone’s fun?” asked one confused user.
“I missed all this and my timeline is full of it, can someone explain?” asked another one.
MrBeast Joins the Viral Ice Water Dunking Trend
In addition to his humorous take on Ashton Hall’s morning routine, MrBeast has joined the growing trend of dunking faces in ice water, a signature element of Hall’s routine. This trend kicked off after Hall’s own morning ritual video went viral on March 24, capturing the attention of millions.
Titled “The Morning Routine That Changed My Life: 3:50 AM to 9:30 AM”, Hall’s video showcased a captivating sequence. He began by tearing off a piece of tape from his lips, followed by tooth brushing and hydrating with water from his blue Saratoga bottle.
After drinking the water, Hall stepped out onto his balcony, proceeded with various exercises, engaged in journaling, and watched videos on his phone. His routine included multiple face rinses, including a final ice water dunk around 9:00 AM, after which he dressed formally before enjoying breakfast at 9:15 AM.
Post-viral success, MrBeast humorously illustrated the absurdities of morning routines by sharing a screenshot of multiple iMessage notifications from his own “personal assistant,” comically telling him to dive into the pool or splash ice water on his face.
“HELLO??.. JIMMY ARE YOU AWAKE??.. Now let’s get it to at least 10,000. Quickly take a dive in the pool, please! QUICK!!… Please stand on the balcony for an hour. Wake up!!”
The humor arises from the idea that MrBeast overslept and failed to receive these ludicrous requests. According to a report from the Independent on March 24, Hall’s morning routine has attracted over 40 million views on YouTube, significantly benefiting the Saratoga Water brand, which saw a staggering 1,379 percent increase in Google searches as a direct result of Hall’s engaging content.
