I once had a Pet Rock. He was barely domesticated. One day, he got out, and went through the front window of a truly obnoxious neighbor. The city pound had to put him down.
What was his name was it magma
Nah its name is metamorphic
@@gladysatandi6639 good name man really rolls of the tounge
With a sledgehammer?
Was the neighbor or rock put down?
The main part of the Pet Rock package was actually the joke book that presented as the guide/care book. The rock was just meant to complete the package for the book, but people thought the rock was the attraction and forgot about the actual content.
And the Pet Rock was popular enough to have a country song about it. th-cam.com/video/WQTzD7PrAhI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=wilburscott
That's amazingly ironic since people consider it's "dumb toy"
I was right now years old when I learned that
It's certainly a unique way of marketing one, considering the reputation joke books(especially themed ones) have

Honestly to be fair to the virtual boy.. it was a hell of a good companion for some of us whose single parent couldn't afford a Nintendo 64 or PS1 . It was an especially great companion after my brother passed away in 94 in a car accident on his way to school one Wednesday August 25 morning. My virtual boy is actually on display in my collection now though & looks pretty darn great man. I suppose we all have our own opinions and perspectives in life. Thanks for your efforts and uploads . I really enjoy watching them .
I'm sorry for your loss
@@sunettas9738 thank you for your kind words that means a lot more than you may believe. Thank you
In the midst of the Tamagotchi craze, I invented a Virtual Pet Rock for fun: 'Tama-golem.' It had at least a partial, satirical care manual with topics and a cover image very similar to a Tamagotchi. I even painted a river stone with acrylic paints to match the screen, buttons and light on those things. It soon was decorating the ground below the drip line at my mom's house, and may still be there.
I recall recommending stuff like tossing it into a bowl of water when it needed to drink, and flinging it against walls to discipline it.
PEBBLE ABUSE!!
I could see the pet petter potentially being good for shelter situations to help animals that have been abused or need domestication to get them used to contact. Absolutely pointless for most people unless they’re allergic to their partner’s pet or something.
Definitely, it would be helpful also for quadriplegics, the elderly, anyone with arthritis, even someone with OCD that loves animals but can’t bear to touch them.
Or worse they had an arm amputated or can't use their hands
@@creativecutieprincessd That's exactly what I was thinking!
@@BatAmerica Great minds think alike.
There is also those pets who absolutely demand attention every second of the day so it may be good for that. You know if you hate them
The pet petter would be good for Cerberus. Hades only has two hands, Cerberus has three heads, four if you count the snake he has for a tail in some depictions
You are adorable
So true he can never pet all three heads at once one is always left out
Maybe the naughtiest head of the day has to be pet by the robot and the other 2- by Hades
Cerbruses tail is a snake!?!
it wouldnt be so bad for chimeras either
I feel so sad for Mike darce. His jetpod idea is so good, he just was too determine to make it a success that he unintentionally killed himself just wanting to see it become real. Rest In Peace Mike and I hope his friends and family are doing well
Pet rocks were one of the few fads I actually enjoyed being a part of. They were just fun gag gifts that made you smile. They never caused the crazy frenzies of Beanie Babies, Cabbage Patch Kids or Tickle Me Elmos, but that was what makes me remember them fondly to this day. Would I buy one today, though? Nope. It's only charming if it's a shared pop culture experience - and nobody's getting trampled for it.
I have to agree with you. Chia pets were pretty cool, too - not a crazy popular fad, of course - but it's always so much better when you have someone to compare who's grew better or came out with the more We-Todd-Ed "haircut".
@@SilveniumTheDrifter 😊👍
The Pet Petter is perfect for those of us who are too busy playing Virtual Boy to give our pet rock all the attention it demands.
Or any NAYA water!!
Slap some wifi capability onto it, make it controlled by an app
People can pet their pets while away
Or just buy a pet rock instead of the petter
@@ironspaghett connect it to the no phone
😂😂😂 I also LOVE how the pet petter box said it comes with an optional leash attachment….. I mean it doesn’t need a leash attachment, surely your pet would want to lay under a big scary mechanical arm rubbing it raw until the batteries ran out…..Right???
I don't think the Pet Rock was so much stupid as it was just a funny novelty. The guide book that came with it really secures the whole joke behind it.
We bought my uncle the potty putter when I was a kid as a Christmas gift! I don’t remember him ever using it and never saw it set up in their house. It definitely falls under “gag gifts” for me. We also made our own pet rocks as kids with googly eyes, nobody in my family was gonna spend money on a rock in a box 😂
22:59 *Insert Elmo hates Rocco meme
The no phone can actually be useful if you live in a bad neighborhood and are worried about getting mugged. If you are worried about your phone and wallet being stolen it could be useful to keep a fake one just in case.
I didn't even think of that! Your Right!
A real “gotcha” moment
ofcourse can just get a broken one from the garbage adn save 10 danm dollars.
@@NightmareRex6 Yeah but no one wants to go rifling through trash.
Ah you've been to Chicago
Fun fact: Virtual Boy did so bad it was discontinued not even a full year after it was launched.
But without it, we may not have gotten the current VR we have. Plus I find it nice how Nintendo even makes fun of it at times
Still better than the Tiger R-Zone though.
Fun fact: the reason why the screen in virtual boy was red was because they had to pick over the N64 or Virtual Boy and the picked N64 because they thought the N64 can make more money and boy they were right
@@rossjohnstone4689 VR actually existed long before the virtual boy, but every VR computer in the 90s costed 100 000+ USD
@@ExtremeWreck what's tiger r-zone?
Let's be real: There IS someone out there stupid enough to leave their estate to a pet rock.
That would definitely be someone from the most crackhead state in America.......FLORIDA
Our species are so irredeemably stupid it's literally driving me insane.
When you said "PetPetter" at 6:21, your accent dropped completely. It took me by surprise.
The saddest part about the Jetpod is that this is the only invention that feels like it came from a good place. A desire to truly revolutionize something that plagues people every day...
Indeed. There were a lot of aircraft over the years that were much less successful than the designer expected them to be. This is a case of a plane that wasn't well designed and, apparently, the designer went for a Darwin award rather than halt testing and figure out what was wrong. It's probably the only thing on this list that really doesn't belong.
Yes, the solution to too many shitty drivers is to put them airborne. Imagine the carnage.
This air taxi does sound like a useful idea. Short landings like this plane does, are called stall landings. I think it might be practical for more spread out cities, rather than highrise areas. Helicopters do that well. Too bad the first outcome failed. I hope someone is still interested to create this. (Edit for grammar)
Darwanism. Humans simply aren't supposed to fly. It's a miracle planes work.
After failed attempts to invent a workable aircraft, Da Vinci disproved manned flight. He was some 300 years ahead of his time.
I went to a summer camp once where, at game time, they had two big pitchers of water for during breaks. One was labeled "Water" and one was labeled "Diet Water" as a joke, and I swear people had opinions on which was better (I was a rebel and mixed the two together)
Jesus christ! You did what!?
th-cam.com/video/VsJc2ZhbXIg/w-d-xo.html
Oh, you drink half and half water too?
true madlad
Absolute scoundrel. Pick one and stay with it.
4:35 Masochists, not sadists, enjoy receiving pain. Sadists enjoy inflicting pain on others.
Actually remember seeing car lashes they’re rare nowadays but I do remember seeing them every once in a while and it is kind of stupid especially if you’re driving around with a male passenger because I’m pretty sure they’re gonna love being in that
😂😂😂😂
I feel as the Virtual Boy was a really good idea to try and create.
Having the ability to play VR at the time it was made, WOULD’VE and SHOULD’VE been revolutionary.
With more care, i’m sure the Virtual Boy honestly could’ve been great.
It’s such an intriguing console imo.
And what's great about this is even with the Virtual Boy's failure, Nintendo is still fascinated with the concept of 3D gaming and VR, which both concepts were finally realized and done right with the 3DS and the Switch Labo VR Kit, showing that even a great failure can open the doors of inspiration, even leading to creating much better successes of something that didn't do well years ago.
As someone who owned 3 of them (1 from eBay, but "The Wild" of Yard Sales and Goodwill were good to me around 2004 - 2007,) the Virtual Boy really isn't a horrible product if you don't get eyestrain from it and take breaks every 15 minutes. It was just "young" in the 3D development.
Also: I owned a Sega 32x. Between the Virtual Boy and 32x, I'd rather play the Virtual Boy more often! The 32x, just... *Sigh,* so much wasted potential. I only know 4 games I'd like to play on it: After Burner, Kolibri, Space Harrier, & Virtua Racing Deluxe. BTW, _there are more canceled games than released games for the 32x._
They had no idea what they were doing.
The "pet petter" and "diet water" made me have a much needed laugh. Thanks for making it possible.
25:47 HANDER PANTS. It make me laugh heavily. That was hilariously
stupidest item I ever seen in this video.

20:02
A death trap for if you encounter...
*...her.* 🐔
(Although, it's REALLY unlikely it would ever happen.)
Honestly the pet petter seems like a good idea for when you got your hands full like if you’re cooking or if you are playing video games with your friend. Though you probably shouldn’t use it to give up petting your dog entirely.
Or if it doesn't require you to be at home, it's good for that
You don't pat your pet while playing video games? I always made time for that. O.o
@@ImpGoddess And if they are especially needy, they'll just sit on you anyway xD
@@ImpGoddess when I’m playing video games, both of my hands are on the controller
@@henlexunstein1789 yeah and when there's a lapse in whatever you're playing, or you have a chance to pause if you're able to, you can pet them.
Plus let's face it, a video game isn't nearly as important as spending a little bit of time with an animal that you don't have forever with.
I agree, more people need to adopt their pet rocks instead of buying from a breeder. Nobody wants the ones from the side of the road, and society just walks all over them.
😂
20:04 - Pizza-guy wants pizza perfume
@@295g295 It actually sounded like it would be good to me.
I completely agree. I just have one question. Should a pet rock parent be allowed to pet their pet rock themselves, or should the pet rock parent be required to purchase a pet petter to insure that their pet rock gets petted at an optimal speed of 85 times per minute? (asking for a friend)
@@LoriPeace Oh wow, 85 times per minute. I'd suggest attaching toothbrush bristles to a rock tumbler.
4:47 Hey, a Chipflake clip!
In regards to Jetpod. What you heard as “VQ-stall” was actually “VQSTOL”. This is an acronym for Very Quiet Short Take Off Landing. STOL is a common term in aviation.
Speaking of pet rocks. I once had one as a Christmas joke gift but I didn’t want to just get a rock off the streets. I decided to be creative with the idea. I bought a bunch of candy, wrapped it in plastic wrap, covered it with paper machete, then painted it gray with some shades and color to make it look like a polished rock. Then, I gave it as an elephant gift present. The first kid who got it traded it with someone else before they realized there was candy in it and realized he missed out on the candy XD. It was a great Christmas Party.
There are pet rocks, and there are rocks that keep tigers away, according to Homer Simpson. In all reality, they are both just rocks. The pet rocks are no more of a pet than any other rock, and having a rock that keeps tigers away would be the exact same situation as not having that rock, there'll be no tigers either way unless you're living in the wild somewhere in India, Bengal, or Burma/Myanmar, or live near a zoo with the worst cages and security of any zoo in the world. In other words, ROCKS ARE ROCKS!!!
Exactly the same thing with comparing water and diet water, WATER IS WATER, either one has zero calories, zero carbs, zero sugar, and zero flavor.
**Diet Water**
Me: “Aaaahh yes, for when zero calories is too much for your diet”
That's called lossing weight
Why people prey on the real simple minded with moron stuff like diet water? I about gagged of even the thought of the gluten free water, I know its still water though.
No the diet water is -10 calories per serving
You have got to see when Jay Leno did headlines and showed the toilet golf. He couldn't stop laughing. "This is the single stupidest thing i have ever... how long have we done headlines, 10 years? This...".
In defense of the car lashes, it's an American car culture thing. Some people paint flames on theirs. Others decorate a VW beatle to look like a ladybug with eyelashes. We had that one car in our small town back in the 1980's, before car lashes were mass marketed. The girl who owned it crafted them herself in metal shop. Although I would never do this myself, it did make us all smile.
were a car county cause usa is so big so it knda makes since
Time to buy a pet rock, and a pet petter, so I can sit on the toilet all day from drinking too much diet water, playing golf in my handerpants, and spray some Pizza Hut scent to mask the smell.
And after that, I can spend the rest of the day playing the Virtual Boy.
Don't forget cruising around in your taxi plane and car with carlashes
And using your nophone
welp...nice way to tie most of them together 🤣🤣🤣
💀💀💀💀
Doing all of this on a flying car with CarLashes
I originally thought the Pet Petter was meant for when you were away from the house and thus couldn't pet your dog, but
1. The way this is advertised completely shoots that theory down
2. I think hearing a demon voice coming out of a metal hand as said metal hand strokes me would be scary if I was a pet
Why would you get a pet if you’re away from your house or busy with work a lot? Like maybe you have a very busy work life or personal life. You’re pet would get very lonely and neglected a lot.
Yea pets sure are religious
That thing was making me uncomfortable. My cats are either to hide from it or they will end it. If they don't, my dog will.
@kassandra odessa at least that would make sense. This thing is just for lazy idiots.
I had the most obnoxious cat in history. having to pet her every time she comes around got old after a couple days.
"Who would think that bright orange is a trendy color? A moron, that's who!" says Strider while wearing a bright orange t-shirt
“I’m still trying to process that he made $6 million from rocks”
Jewelers: 👀
With a cat, everything in your house is already a "pet petter" 🤷♂️

It was avocado and tangerine from late 60s
But. Tangerine lasted until the mid 70s.
Agreed. My puss has been rubbin itself all over this building. Its been rubbing on the furniture as well.
“insert rimshot here”
And a cat can keep you from getting bored on the toilet. 🙃
Hey Strider, it was truly a joy to edit the Virtual Boy segment at 9:05! I've always found the Virtual Boy to be a fascinating system so I had a lot of fun editing the segment! Personally, I actually kinda like the Virtual Boy and I do enjoy playing it in short bursts. I think it's one of the few systems that you kinda have to experience in person to really appreciate. It just wasn't very well designed and wasn't advanced enough to be something truly great. Anyway, you made the other stupid items on this list oddly fascinating as well. I think this is one of your best videos yet! Cheers my friend!
Thanks for all your help editing the Virtual boy Vectrex 🙂 From your old videos, I figured it would be close to your heart. Your expertise on the console really shined through 😄 Cheers my friend 👍
@@JacksonOfTheJerry I played one. I actually owned 3 of them (1 from eBay, 1 from a Yard Sale, 1 from Goodwill. [2005 - 2008 was a fun time in the used games market.]) The Virtual Boy *is* fun in short plays if you adjust its eye settings right, and if you don't have issues with headaches from it (which I did not.) That said, *do not give it to someone who's 8 years old or younger,* maybe not even until they're 13 or older; eyes are still developing as kids grow, so you don't want to risk eye damage.
I bought the virtual boy and it really helped my child's video game addiction. He would only play for a little bit of time and then give up and do his homework. Tbh, maybe they could implement this concept for the No Phone. A phone that just gives you a headache to reduce the time you spend on your phone.
24:20 🤣you just roasted yourself😂 lol
LJN Video Art: That thing had a controller that had a terribly squeezy noise & had the worst joystick known to mankind, & alongside that the paint program itself was terrible, not even including a save function let alone any way to fill up one part of the screen with a single color. That thing was worthless in every way possible.
Pop Station LCD games: Those things flood the Chinese market like the plague it is & they just keep getting worse & worse, featuring the same crappy Street Fighter clone, the same boring driving game & whatever the heck "Submarine Invasion" is. Ashens covered A LOT of those stupid things.
Atari Jaguar CD: Alongside looking like a toilet, most models of the thing likely didn't work because of faulty wires, stupid connection errors, the CD tray being a butthole, etc.
Tiger R-Zone: Imagine the Virtual Boy, but instead of innovative technology, it's just awful Tiger LCD games, but made black & red to capitalize on said Virtual Boy. That's the R-Zone & you & it was actually much worse to the eyes than the V-Boy was as it can give people headaches IMMEDIATELY.
Any more you guys can think of?
Are most of these from AVGN?
I see another die hard avgn fan
@@Custer_X_Of_The_DAU Most of them, well yeah, but the Pop Station one comes from Ashens.
@@Raven_Redacted *THEEEEE WRIST GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!*
The Laseractive. A game system that required extra modules in order to play most of its library, the discs were enormous (about the size of a vinyl record) and the cost was nearly 1000 dollars in today’s money for the BASE console!
Those car eyelashes were all over the US in the 2000s. They were the grown ups equivalent of those quirky glasses with the little mustache on a chain.
My mom had a Christmas car decoration at one point.
It was a red nose and/or (can't remember as it was years ago and she passed a few years ago) some antlers like a reindeer.
I think it did have both, but I know the angers were for sure there.
Mario glasses?
@@agentkmr i guess? It wasn't the Mario stache though. Just the regular one with the curly ends
I legitimately only saw one car with them.
@@feraltaco4783 i envy you.
23:14 I respect the grind
Seeing clips from some of my favorite shows here gave me joy.
Home Improvement, Dexter's Lab, Jimmy Neutron...
Love those shows!
(I actually watched this before, but had to rewatch because I still crack up at the thought of *diet water*)
I just had a horrific vision-- someone building up a package deal of a pet rock and a pet petter. One pet rock and a pet petter, $25. Or 3 for $100!
Three of each for $100 is the worse deal out of the two, as you're wasting an extra $25 on nothing.
@@cardinalhamneggs5253 Precisely. And there are people who would buy it, thinking they scored
The horror! The horror!
Phantomstrider: I dom't criticize whoever made this as a person
Also Phantomstrider: So instead Imma criticize the customer for buying this diet water instead
To be fair if someone telling me they made diet water I'd probably say their either have an IQ of 3 or they're a scammer
I love how they advertise Diet Water as containing zero calories too
The second thing, certainly.
I’m pretty sure he said “Whoever *buys* Diet Water probably can’t get across the street.”
Honestly, The diet water should have been number 3
If you look at the video 1:58, that's not what I said, Nazwan. I didn't say that about the creator. I said that about someone who bought it.
When all the other kids were selling lemonade, I was selling rocks. Not actual pet rocks, but unusual rocks. I would take markers and paint and decorate some colorfully. The tiger striped ones were especially popular.
Didn't reach the 6 million dollar mark though.
My pet rock murdered my mom
Guessing maybe your hand was an accomplice?
😄👍
That Pet Rock killed my grandma, okay!?
About the execution of the NoPhone though, why do we need one just for the essentials? I get that ignoring people because of phones is a problem but people want to use phones for other things that are their hobbies and that's actually fine.
If you can use your smartphone responsibly, that's fine. Still, many people with social media addictions and/or spend thousands of dollars on stupid in-app purchases because of poor impulse control would truly benefit from a phone with just essentials.
Considering how we abuse drones, could you imagine mankind with flying cars
I mean, we try to fly drones straight into tornadoes for crying out loud🤣🤣🤣ON PURPOSE🌪️🌀🌬️
I'd be scared of breaking down. At least if my car breaks down on the ground, I don't have to worry about plummeting to my death.
@@banditxavier2893 Exactly!
That's why I won't get on a plane! "Safer than driving" my ass!

I love how he started with. "I don't mean to be insulting to anyone". Then says "sorry man, you're not too bright". 😂😂😂
We gave my sister a pet rock as a joke, and she loved it _because_ of the joke.
The joke:
She went back to college in her 40s, and there was one semester that she (very stupidly) took a geology course for one of her electives because she "thought it would be interesting."
It turned out to be absolute HELL. It had nothing to do with her major and it was far more involved than she ever thought it would be. She had to study like crazy for everything, and she _barely_ passed at the end of the semester.
As a "congratulations, you passed!" gift, we gave her a pet rock (which was, unsurprisingly, my dad's idea). She laughed HARD when she made the connection and thought it was absolutely hilarious. It stayed on her bookshelf from then on.
And that is one of the only instances that I can think of where a pet rock would actually make sense.
Edited to add: the instruction booklet for how to take care of your pet rock is almost worth the price of the whole thing on its own. It's quite funny.
When I was younger,I actually used to know someone who had car eyelashes. It was the mother of an old friend I had in primary. Being reminded of these bizarre car add ons brings me back. It looks creepy and hilarious at the same time
10. Yeah this was a con. You’re a fool to engage in diet water
9. That is just sad. What kind of sick guy doesn’t want to pet their pets?
8. Honestly the Light Phone looks really interesting. I might actually buy one (he said, typing on his phone)
7. Oh virtual boy… you are the black (red?) mark of gaming history
6. Oh this is just a shame. Hopefully they iron out the kinks soon so less people die.
5. Well ain’t that the tackiest thing ever seen?
4. Like… how bored can you be on the John?
3. The reason we like the smell of fresh pizza is because it means we get to eat fresh pizza. I do not want people to smell like this.
2. Oh this was a joke gift for sure though I wonder how many people bought it unironically…
1. Yeah this has to be a gag gift. No way would someone buy that for actual comfort!
I'm pretty sure the inventor of Handerpants makes a living on utterly impractical products.
The pet petter could be useful for amputees.
Some people have allergies or have no limbs😅
As a person with excessive sweating on my hands (hyperhidrosis) the handerpants could be really helpful for me when I need to put some latex gloves on
I had a pet rock on a leash. His name was Buford T Justice. He would attack people that hurt me. Needless to say, I had to rehome him.
😂😂😂 perfect, when it lands on the other side of a window just say NAUGHTY PET ROCK
GO HOME RIGHT NOW
I'm sorry Mrs Crabtree ill talk to him
It's a true honor to see someone reference something so nostalgic in a strange situation!
Hey strider. I just want to thank you for uploading. I'm in a really crappy state right now mentally and your videos always cheer me up. Keep up the good work.
Edit: Thank you guys for the support. It really means a lot. Sending well wishes to all of you back for any future challenges you face.

Sorry that you’re in a bad state… I do hope things improve… Virtual hugs

Sending you good vibes and hope things get better for you ✨️
we all hope ya get well soon
the pet petter actually has a use, one of my friends has such bad ocd and germaphobia and cant touch his pets, although he loves them. so in that immensely niche situation, yeah its ok
Yeah my buddy has a dog that needs to be petted constantly or she starts getting anxiety shakes. This might help her
And the pets actually sit there ander that thing?
He needs to get over it or convert to Islam so he has a valid excuse
@@wolfetteplays8894 You can't just get over OCD or a Phobia. People who actually have a phobia (Not a fear of something, they need to have an extreme/irrational fear) and actually have OCD need therapy, and in severe cases, medication.
4:27 That's a masochist, not a sadist.
The PetPetter is an even STUPIDER idea than the Diet Water! In fact, for a masochist, those two things would go very well together. Never pet an animal and drink nothing but water.
Seeing not only Ann Readon but also Caddicarus clips in this video made me so happy lol
I will never make fun of the Pet Rock. It's just so gloriously capitalist. And Gary does address why you shouldn't get a "wild" rock in the pamphlet.
(I don't have a Pet Rock. I've just read about it elsewhere)
Agreed, a "wild" rock can carry rabies
I want to know the reasons
"Diet water"?! But water already has 0 calories... so how much does "diet water" have? -1?
It removes calories because...... Magik
-1400 calories that’s how diet it is
I guess people want to lose calories, lol.
It's redundant.
@@Chaos_is_very_dumb It absorbs them and removes them though urine.
Actually, those hander pants saved my friend's hands when she was a hairdresser. Her eczema was bad on her palms and she used those hander pants under the rubber/silicon gloves they were given for hair dyes.
Not only that, she bought me a pair, as a gag, and I wore them in a cold office when I had to start at 5am typing medical papers. They were quite warm. So, useless for some, good for others.
The diet water reminded me of a time someone in an MLM tried to sell me expensive "keto coffee." They went on and on about how it could help with a keto diet, etc. I then looked at them and said, "You do realize that regular coffee is already ketogenic, right? Why should I pay 5 times more for your coffee?"
20:07 wasn't expecting caddicarous!
I think I'll stick my favourite plushie, thanks- it does everything a pet rock can do, with the added bonus of being cuddly 😊.
As for the pet petter, isn't that about as pointless as inventing something that eats your candy or ice cream for you? It literally takes away the biggest benefit of owning a pet 🤣
I thought the best part of owing a pet was having a plan b if you ever ran out of food or money and needed something to eat
@@jsmith3946 😳😅
I agree with your rock opinion. However, I think that the pet petter could be useful if you are either too busy to pet your own pet, or if you, or someone else you know has a sad condition, or disability who wants to pet their pet but no longer can. For instance, if they lost feeling in their arms due to severe nerve damage. Other than that I don't really see why you could possibly need it? Anyways, hope you have a nice day, and thank you to those of you who read this comment. 🙂🙏💯
The only reason I would buy a "Pet Petter" would be for my "Pet Rock" when I'm at work.
I do think the pet rocks are pretty funny though. I have even seen a USB chargeable version (which doesn't do anything either. It just has a USB cord that comes out of the rock).
One of the few joys in my awful life is petting my cat when i see him when i come home.
I appreciate people far outside the Texan accent spectrum unironically using howdy :)
Do you know what greeting howdy replaces?
@@aquariandawn4750 "HOW Do You do?" ;-)
One of the listed uses of Handerpants is when being attacked, put on Handerpants to confuse and distract the enemy. I guess that would work, I think it’d distract me.
If you research some of these topics, the pet rock was actually about the care guide booklet that came with it not the actual rock. That’s why it was so successful.
I love your content! It’s wholesome, informative and also fun! I’ve been binge watching your videos lately, and I really enjoy them! Keep up the good work!
Hey thanks Julianaa 😀
When he got to the pet rock, I was sure edible underwear was going to be on the list.
The Virtual Boy may have been a huge mistake, but it had some potential (later realised by the 3DS and Switch LABO VR). It even had some pretty good games, like VB Wario Land and Telero Boxer
Yeah, it goes to show that even with the Virtual Boy's failure, Nintendo is still fascinated with the concept of 3D gaming and VR and it seems that it took years to finally not only bring the two concepts back, but do it right.
Don't forget about that phenomenally comfortable controller with double D pads, and how well it integrated into game play. loved how smooth things looked and felt while playing.
Yeah it wasn’t bad in concept.
@@TheCanaaniteUnionist the concept was actually quite solid, it was mostly cost cutting measures that doomed it. Originally it was meant to be a full colour screen with proper polarization of its lenses.
@@mattpatterson593 wow I didn’t know that.
About the handerpants…
The company that makes them specializes in pointless gag gifts (bacon-flavored mints, banana slug finger puppets, etc.). So they aren’t meant to be a serious invention. As far as I can tell, the infomercial is being very tongue-in-cheek about it all.
I know people who would legitimately eat bacon mints.
Is it weird that I actually think there may be a real use for "handerpants"? anytime I wear any kind of plain rubber gloves, they immediately get soaked with sweat. This makes my hands feel really, really gross after I take them off. If I use the nicer, cotton lined rubber gloves, this problem doesn't happen. So, maybe the aforementioned product might actually have a use... if they were offered in a full finger version.
@@themagitechie9955 as someone who gets eczema on my hands all the time, the idea of the handerpants didn't seem that bad to me XD
I am getting arthritis in my hands, and I actually thought these would be great for a little extra warmth when sewing or drawing to keep my hands from getting stiff.
Have you ever read Dave Barry's Gift Guide? It's full of bizarre dumb stuff and he points out a good chunk came from Archie McPhee because, yeah, they love insane dumb products.
If you have a pet rock do not name it Elmo, Sesame Street probably made a good example of why thats a annoying idea
I feel like the Pet Petter might actually be useful with helping anxious bitey dogs and cats get used to the sensation of getting pet without humans getting hurt. Do it as part of socializing to the point where they can be adopted out to good homes.
That’s a really good idea
Strides, just wanted to say I absolutely adore the way you make sure no one’s offended or left out in your little talks before the vids, I just appreciate you as a person, mate. Hope you’re well!
(Also I have the moment you said my name on a mall walk livestream (as the Dogtor then I think) is one of my top moments, this is odd to add but I wanted to..)
@@SatanenPerkele yea i mean its common sense to simply respect or not care about someones opinion or take what they say seriously :") but i mean its sweet of him to be all extra safe about it knowing the internet today lol
The Car Lashes are so tacky but sooooo cute 🥰
Guess there really is a market for everything😅
I recently saw a Kia with them
I see beetles and Cobalts with them a lot
I seen someone compare it to Pixar’s Cars, though I’m pretty sure the windshield served as Lightning McQueen’s eyes and not the headlights.
Granted if ANY car would look comical with these it’d be the smiley-grill Mazdas.
Well I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought they were cute.
It really depends on the shape.
I actually loved my virtual boy. I still have it in my attic someplace, even! And I love that you mentioned Warioland, because to this day, I still think that is one of the single best platform & adventure style games I have ever played.
As for what I liked about it? I guess as a 9 or 10 year old, it just seemed so cool. And that tennis game was actually addictively fun, while Warioland as I mentioned, was one of the best games I had played. And I've played a LOT of games
3:37 Pet Petter it was intentionally made to look ridiculous but it’s not a real product. When I look online it’s just the box with descriptions and art and it’s a prank box it says on flaps as someone opens Youve been pranked! I can’t find any actual store selling it as an actual product so maybe it once was but they just use the box as a joke gift now
It’s like the cheese printer
1:07 When regular water has too many calories
I once saw a product at the store labeled "Organic Salt". Salt is a mineral compound that is, by definition, inorganic.
Kind of like how everyone is afraid of GMO’s but most of our food is genetically modified like corn, corn was originally grass (part of the grass family) but was cross bred for specific characteristics which is modifying something genetically. Corn is unnatural.
@@andrewft31 yes. After 20000 years of agriculture, there's no such thing as non-GMO anymore.
As a child growing up in the 70's, I remember thinking about how stupid Pet Rocks were. Even as a child, I couldn't believe anyone would spend money on a decorated rock.
I do like the lashes on a VW Bug - making it a Lady Bug. I've seen VW Bugs decorated as a lady bug - perfect car to have them.
The creator of the Jetpod has my respect for trying out the invention himself, he risked his own life to make it work, it's sad he had to die but has my respect for trying to make it work
This inventions feel as if all the CEOS were smoking some form of crack whilst playing scrabble and just sent whatever was spelt to their workers that were laboring away for 23 hours a day
5:44 I just realized, someone without arms would actually get a fair bit of use out of the pet petter. That way they’d still get the joy of having a pet, while the pet gets to be petted.
The pet petter is useful for your pet rock, it loves pats but is afraid of people, so it's nice to have that to pet it until it is comfortable enough for you to pet it.
I remember my first time seeing car lashes. ‘Twas not but a year ago when I was walking with my friends, having a wonderful time at my city’s monthly art festival. This event is well known for its ability to call upon the eccentric like moths to a flame. Which, I believed was a great thing. Until I saw… it. A yellow Volkswagen bug with large black eyelashes, staring into my soul with its lifeless headlight eyes. I immediately hurled an obscenity in shock, which alerted my comrades to the vehicle’s presence. They were equally unnerved by the lovecraftian nightmare car we stumbled across. Obviously, pictures were taken to document our findings, but we all knew we wouldn’t really need them. After all, who could forget a face like that?
Hey, Penelope Pitstop's car had them in the '60's.
Its always yellow😫
@vinny reviews Was one of my favorites as a child, though I was more fond of Speed Racer and Gigantor (if you can remember THAT last one, you really ARE Old School).
The whole gluten free diet water made me scream "WHAT!" and laughed
I'll wait for the vegan option.
@@viddork The new "Vegan gluten free diet water" coming soon
Some people actually believed water was fattening .maybe that’s why they’d buy diet water .
STOL, which stands for Short Take Off and Landing, has been an aviation word for almost 70 years. The first aircraft with that designation, the Dornier Do 27, made its initial flight in 1955. Earlier STOL aircraft, like the de Haviland DHC-2 Beaver, weren't called STOL until after Dornier started marketing the DO-27 as STOL
My first introduction to the Virtual Boy was a direct on the game Tomodachi Life.
"All hail the Virtual Boy!" is forever engrained in my mind along with a certain song they made for the game XD
I never knew what it was or how bad it was until years later.
I love that Phantomstrider is concerned about hurting the feelings of the people who invented these items. We truly don’t deserve him.
If people offended the stupid sooner theyd stop being stupid faster
Especially the inventor of the flying car that died while doing test runs.
I just started watching him a month or so ago, and even when things irk him, he still remains genuine and doesn't judge others for liking or supporting said thing (even Peppa Pig).
A teacher of mine had an original Pet Rock at school. It was pretty cool, a good moral booster to have in class.
That's great! I might actually get my own pet rock because I'm weird like that, lol. Feel free to judge me.
@@mary-annabederman7874 I'd just say buy some googly eyes and pick up a rock from the ground if you want a pet rock
Part of having a pet, is to pet, your pet.
The luck that you receive and the feeling of well-being comes from petting a cat. None of this works if you don't touch the animal.
I’d be amazed if I seen anyone using any of these stupid inventions, and those car eyelashes scared me for life
18:15 - I'd rather not think of the taste at all. Good or otherwise...
I'm going to buy a pair of Handerpants and then dye them black so that nobody can tell they're actually Handerpants without bringing their face within a couple inches of them.
The Pet Petter sounds like the saddest thing ever
