The video is a discussion about the character Professor Elvin Gadd from the Mario series. The host argues that Gadd is not the absent-minded scientist he appears to be, but a master manipulator who creates problems and then profits from their solutions.
Gadd's alleged manipulations include:
1. Orchestrating the tragedy in Super Mario Sunshine, where he gives a powerful magic paintbrush to Bowser Jr., who uses it to cause chaos on the Isle Delfino.
2. Providing the Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device (FLUDD) to Mario, which is used to fight against the disguised Bowser Jr.
3. Giving a Vacuum Orb to Wario and Waluigi, villains in Mario Party 7, which is designed to steal coins from other players.
4. Creating a time machine in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, which is used to trap Peach in the past.
5. Selling a painting of King Boo, who was defeated and turned into a painting in the first game, in Luigi's Mansion, which leads to his escape.
6. Creating the Greed Wallet in Superstar Saga, a sack that doubles the amount of money earned after battle.
The host also mentions that Gadd is not just a money-grubbing character, but a master of manipulation who fuels the feud between two warring factions in the Mushroom Kingdom and hides out in the middle, raking in his profits. The host concludes that Gadd is more than just an absent-brained Professor, and is in fact the purest villain in the Mario series.
