A bridge too far

This basically is a synonym for “a long shot”, or an overly ambitious plan.

The story behind it is that during WWII in 1944, the Allies came up with a plan (Operation Market Garden) to use paratroopers to secure three bridges over three key rivers behind enemy lines in The Netherlands. British forces would then rush forward across all three bridges to relieve the paratroopers, and later push into Germany itself.

It was an extremely ambitious plan. A British commander is alleged to have said “I think we may be going a bridge too far”, and he was right. The American airborne divisions were able to capture the first two bridges, and were relieved. But the British and Polish paratroopers at the third and final bridge at Arnhem were basically wiped out before tanks of the Irish Guards could punch through to reach them. Market Garden was an operational failure.

Person 2: “I think that’s a bridge too far buddy...”

“I think we may be going a bridge too far.”

Mr. Beast went too far

This is part 2:

They then tie the kid to about 500 helium balloons, which carry the poor innocent child extremely high up. Chandler then takes a Tommy gun and sprays in the general direction of the kid, who is still ascending. Eventually the kid comes crashing down, somehow untouched by the spray of bullets that popped the majority of his balloons. Upon landing, the kid shatters his tailbone and lower back, delivering the most excruciating pain. Then the kid, who's name is unspoken in this entire video, starts crying in an abnormally high-pitched voice. This makes Mr. Beast take out a different golf club, this one being a driver, and attempts to either behead the poor young soul or simply knock him unconscious, which is unclear. Either way, both are unsuccessful, and Mr. Beast ends up causing the kid, who can be no more than 14, even more pain. At this point, Mr. Beast gives up and pulls out a scoped shotgun, and starts singing a kid a death lullaby, to which the lyrics are terrible and disturbing. Turns out Mr. Beast's singing voice isn't all that bad, so it begins to sooth the kids pain. This is part 2 of 3. Scroll down for part 3, or scroll up for Part 1.
OH, GOD DAMN! That's a bit for for one video, don't you think?

Mr. Beast went too far

This is part 3 of 3. Scroll up for parts 1 and 2.

The Mr. Beast simply cocks the gun and fires 2 shells right into the kid's skull, therefore ending the kid's short and unhappy life. Later in the video, upon doing research on the kid's life, Mr. Beast finds that the child was the offspring of Donald Trump and Shrek having a threesome with Zelda, but still couldn't find a name to the poor victim. Thus ends the video, but before it totally ends, the screen goes black, pitch black, and you hear what sounds like a shotgun cocking, and then Chandler screaming, "OH, SHIT!" and the a gunshot. Then the video fully ends.
Oh... Oh no... He went too far!...
Oh no!... Mr. Beast went too far... Oh sh... Holy shiiiiiit.....

Mr. Beast went too far

In one scenario where Mr. Beast goes too far in one of his viral videos, he holds a gun to a kid's head and forces the kid to go down an escalator on a skate board, The kid inevitably ends up breaking his leg, and Mr. Beast tries to fix it, but nothing he does, including whacking him with a golf club multiple times, works. Eventually Mr. Beast gets Chris to help him chuck the kid back down the escalator, in hope that it will fix the kid's leg. The kid ends up breaking his other leg, and that makes the kid experience more pain. Mr. Beast, Chris, Nolan and Chandler are discussing ways to end the child's pain.
Mr. Beast went too far... Oh no.....
Oh well. I'm sure it's just editing, right? Right?

Gone too far

Anything that exceed the limits of what is reasonable or acceptable, most likely anything that wasn't justified.
