This is not only my favorite TLDR video but also one of my new favorite videos ever. The break from the usual neutral tone was absolutely hilarious. Amazing work.
That was so adorable. Love hearing Jack speak, especially when he gets worked up. And I salute you for being able to go through this with (mostly) straight face.
I think this would be great on a TLDR Extras channel, I love you guys doing stuff like this, just is a bit odd content-wise when you compare to the rest of the channel. It's great to see more of the personality come through! (it's what I like about the Nebula extras / podcasts / etc).
I agree. This is kinda fun. I have fun watching Jack spiral into disproporitonal emotion and hyperbole on stuff that doesn't really matter! 😅 But this is sold and marketed as an explainer chanel on business topics and there was no 'explanation' here. This had no research, no data backing. This was "M&M stores and corporate touristy places annoy me in my home town and I want to yell about it for a bit!' 😋
TLDR Business has always been a little chaotic. I couldn't tell at first if there were angling for longer more investigative videos on this new channel or more shitposty ones. They seem to be doing both, and seeing what sticks. I bet the algorithm will love this shit and we'll se more of it in the future.
Great video and completely true! As a Brit abroad in NYC I remember showing up at Times Square and just instantly feeling repulsed by the whole thing 🤢 I thought I’d find some solace at M&M World but did a 180 turn within seconds of walking inside. Great video, keep it up!
Controvertial opinion: as an Italian that visits London occasionally, I like the MnM store ! At least when i was a child it was like a paradice for me and my sister XD
This is hilarious. Love it. Also, there's got to be something here about how nice places are and whether they're for locals or tourists. Like, that entire stretch from Leicester Square up to the other side of Oxford Street is 100% not pleasant to be around.
I didn't watch this for a while cuz I don't give two shits about M&M world, but after you mentioned it a few times I had to see what it was about and I do not regret it. I don't know why anyone is knocking this video--I'm glad I watched it, it's fucking hilarious. Please do more like this!
I love how this whole episode is just Jack ranting over how much he hates this store with literally no facts or data. fun little departure from the usual TLDR format
Tldr business is such a refreshing break from the fact based news and clear delivery, which is great but sometimes you just crave a rambling rant about candy
This video was super fun - I do worry that more content like this about more contentious brands might impact TLDR's neutral brand long term. I think this video is only as fun as it is because "Times Square sucks" and "the M&Ms store sucks" are kinda silly things to get riled up about, which makes it funny to watch. Not sure if it's news, but it's fun!
Yeah this is fun as a random one off outlier. But if this sorta content becomes normalized it could damage their reputation as an impartial facts based perspective on the world. I suspect their testing how much engagement and views this style of video generates with the TH-cam algorithm. And yeah I'm hoping the results aren't so significantly overwhelming that it changes the course of this brand in the long run....
The last time I went to M&M World in London, I was chased down and terrorised by the red on. It wouldn't leave me alone. Everyone in the store found it absolutely hilarious, but I was on the verge of tears. I was 20.
Doing some quick maths with the Nebula offers, for $2.50 per month to be better value than $300 for the remainder of your mutual existence, that puts a limit on the duration of that mutual existence. If you assume that the choice is between paying $300 to Nebula today, or setting aside $300 somewhere where it won't earn any interest (for example, under the mattress) and paying $2.50 of it per month to Nebula, then the mattress will run out of money after a decade. If you take account of inflation (assuming the average 5.2% annual inflation of the last 60 years is a good prediction of the next couple of decades) then you're looking at about 14 years to break-even on a lifetime membership. That's still well within the expected future life-expectancy of most people (the average adult has a future life expectancy of over 25 years). It gets more complicated if you take account of the opportunity cost of spending $300 as a lump sum - depending what your disposable income looks like, that could put a dent in your finances for quite some time (or it could just mean waiting another month to buy some other luxury, or skipping a particular indulgence once). Still, if you can afford to spend $300 at less than a month's notice, you're unlikely to add more than a year or two to the break-even point. All of which suggests that Nebula doesn't expect to last more than 10-15 years. Should we be worried?
I love TLDR and watch a great deal of their videos. I also love the M&M Store in Time Square and visit it every time I am there. With their offer of free shipping on purchases $250 and above, I load up on presents for my family and friends, and M&M ships them to my home in Florida for free. As far as their locations, they are tourist driven because that's where the people are who would be willing to buy their products. Hershey's has a store across the street and Disney is just a few blocks away.
TLDR Business is easily the best TLDR channel. Enjoyed this rant. Hopefully new viewers don't stumble across it and think it's representative though of TLDR in general.
I remember as a teen on vacation wanting to tour a cadboury factory on our new Zealand trip before going there. The town smelled awful. We were told it was the chocolate factory. Didn't go, so can't confirm it is true. But there was a smell.
Doesn’t exist now. They moved production to Australia, but still use NZ ingredients. The factory got demolished and a badly needed new hospital going on the land.
The Queens Head, a fine pub with good pub grub, is just 5 minutes walk from Leicester square. You know, if you should find yourself at a disappointed loose end.
I fucking luved watching this! If you were to publish a video like this once every couple of month, it would improve the (already high) quality of your content by a lot. It adds a lot of personality to TLDR!
This is somehow less unhinged than Tucker Carlson's rant on less-sexy **WOKE** M&Ms, if only because you made fun of it by reference. I might as well predict the next M&Ms World while I'm here: 2035, Kabukicho, Tokyo.
This is a waste of time. There is no interesting business strategy, no news, not fun like the race across europe. It's a 1/3 of an hour of complaints of a store i never knew existed, tucker carlson, boring history speeches about mars company and new york, and a m&m character showcase. Why
I would not call M&M food to be honest. I wish TLDR and more media would talk more about what we can actually buy in a supermarket and that has not much to do with health any longer.
16:19 Midnight Cowboy was directed by John Schlesinger and adapted to screen by Waldo Salt. You're probably mistaking it for Taxi Driver, another film with a bunch of neon seediness that was directed by Scorsese.
@TLDR Business You should have told them that you were comparing the NY store to the London store for youtube. They might have gotten competitive and given you a behind the scenes look if they were that slow.
Please please please make Nebula videos without censoring it would have been so much fun this episode. it can be on a different Nebula channel or something, but it would be so great!
I love where this is going already. Whaaaat?!? Time Square is called Time Square bc of the NYT!!!? That's a chicken or the egg story I would not have believed! Cray. And who knew I would learn that from a Brit video. And super interesting about the seedy period. I always wondered about that. My parents always said it was pretty dangerous along with Central Park into the 90s. I was recently told that until not long at all before I moved to London in 2011, places like King's Cross were super dodgy. Now its super clean. Soho were leicester square still has seedy aspects, with cat houses, dodgy casinos and dodgy looking bars/front businesses/bouncers but overall very vanilla-ised. Camden and Whitechapel also very gentrified and so tame their practically sterile now. Always wondered how that kind of process happens so quick that the next gen knows the neighbourhood in a totally different light. Super interesting vid. I guess that just goes to show depressingly that for us all to share spaces and feel safe together, we to sterilise things til they lose all character and meaning. Not unlike most box office movies these days which are more popular than ever but so generic and meaningless its painful. On that wonderful note, Greggs is pure trash by the way. Toodaloo ;)
Murray and Mars = M&M Murray is the Hershey family, and the Hershey family make the US version of M&Ms, which tastes terrible compared to the Mars version. Also, the London M&M World is below the W Hotel in London... Great place.
In light of breaking news on Jimmy Buffett’s recent death you should do a video similar to this on Margaritavilles with Eddie Burback as a guest on the show…
This shouldn’t be on TLDR business but a new channel called TLDR rants. Also I find it so odd that none of you are the kind of people who would have visited “adult era” Time Square but call it the best version for some reason.
Holy cow, what is this video? Jack spends a good chunk of his time talking about how much he and everyone else at least should, think that something sucks; then the last half is just a tacked on monologue from some TH-camr who has apparently never considered writing their dialogue, just count how many times he says 'like' - as though he never made it out of middle school. TLDR Business is supposed to be making a comeback right now, hopefully this is the last time the scrape the bottom of the barrel.
We have smarties in Canada and I prefer them to m&m 😛 I love time square, i've spent quite a lot of time there; it's great for photos and there's always some crazy stuff going on! 😄I've never been in the m&m store, I'd rather spend time in the Brooklyn transit museum 🙂
This video is literally a combination of Tucker Carlson/Alex Jones style journalism (born out of meaningless and unnecessary frustration) and an out-of-season April Fools joke. It is an abosule shame for the TLDR channel, whom I have deep respect and appreciation for in tackling, covering and reporting news and topics that most other news outlets aren't aware of or are just afraid to do so, to be doing such an abhorent video like this and in this way.
I didn't even notice M&M World during my brief time in Times Square; I went to the Nintendo Store and the Yankees Store and then dipped out because I had other stuff to do. This was, despite being kind of informed by a desperate rant, quite informative about how Times Square became the capitalist shrine/hellhole that it is today.
Glad to see TLDR balancing out the data led, statistical content with a baseless rant 😂
the rant's pretty based imo
😂
Every media company needs a shit posting outlet.
I cannot believe you spent the energy necessary to produce this; and that I spent the time necessary to watch it
0:49 this is also us
It was so painful to watch but as a respect of their work, I stayed until the end
I feel you.
It was kinda obvious where it leads after 3 minutes. One can choose to stop there.
@evraght ..But I didn't stop there.
This is why I watch TLDR news. No other news channels could rival the amount of spite and hate of M&Ms to make this video.
Unless you ask fox news about the green one
Mad respect to Jack for even making content out of his nervous breakdown.
This is not only my favorite TLDR video but also one of my new favorite videos ever. The break from the usual neutral tone was absolutely hilarious. Amazing work.
I didn’t know that I need TLDR’s rants, but now I want more
That was so adorable. Love hearing Jack speak, especially when he gets worked up. And I salute you for being able to go through this with (mostly) straight face.
I think this would be great on a TLDR Extras channel, I love you guys doing stuff like this, just is a bit odd content-wise when you compare to the rest of the channel. It's great to see more of the personality come through! (it's what I like about the Nebula extras / podcasts / etc).
Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same. Fun meme content, but not exactly business news >_
I agree. This is kinda fun. I have fun watching Jack spiral into disproporitonal emotion and hyperbole on stuff that doesn't really matter! 😅
But this is sold and marketed as an explainer chanel on business topics and there was no 'explanation' here. This had no research, no data backing. This was "M&M stores and corporate touristy places annoy me in my home town and I want to yell about it for a bit!' 😋
Seconded.
TLDR Business has always been a little chaotic. I couldn't tell at first if there were angling for longer more investigative videos on this new channel or more shitposty ones. They seem to be doing both, and seeing what sticks.
I bet the algorithm will love this shit and we'll se more of it in the future.
It’s not news but it is instinstically business.
M&M world is peak corporatism.
I want to see more TLDR rants as a genuine format
Amen. 😂😂😂
I mean most other media outlets have editorial pages and what is an editorial if not just a rant / shit post section?
TLDR Angry
The next season of Jet Lag: The Game should have a challenge where they have to find a "Spokes-candy" branded item just to spite Adam.
Forget a challenge, I want him to read a sponsored message *in the store* and be kicked out.
I mean the meeting between Jack and Adam (the show's producer) pretty much confirms Jack's gonna be on next season! 🎉
Great video and completely true! As a Brit abroad in NYC I remember showing up at Times Square and just instantly feeling repulsed by the whole thing 🤢 I thought I’d find some solace at M&M World but did a 180 turn within seconds of walking inside. Great video, keep it up!
I saw the emoji you used as the green m&m. TLDR!!!
Him going on a rant about the smell inside of the store is too good 🤣
This almost feels like an April Fools video, but not? I get weird vibes. At least there is logical consistency. 9/10
Came here to say this too
TLDR Rants? This is just Jack and Adam (from Jetlagged) having lose rambling thoughts about M&M stores and random parts of their city in general.😄
It is a rant.
I throughly enjoyed this and need Adam to teach history like this more
'Rambling off the cuff history how I remember it'? As a partner program to drunk history? 😁
Controvertial opinion: as an Italian that visits London occasionally, I like the MnM store !
At least when i was a child it was like a paradice for me and my sister XD
Absolutely loved the barely contained rage and ill disguised bile towards Mars and their store. The most unbiased opinions I've heard.
I've been to m&m world in London once and all I still remember that it smelled of dead m&m. So idk why you'd choose such a smell
This is your most unexpected video ever. How do I only see this now?
i love how absolutly psychotic this video is
This is hilarious. Love it.
Also, there's got to be something here about how nice places are and whether they're for locals or tourists. Like, that entire stretch from Leicester Square up to the other side of Oxford Street is 100% not pleasant to be around.
I didn't watch this for a while cuz I don't give two shits about M&M world, but after you mentioned it a few times I had to see what it was about and I do not regret it. I don't know why anyone is knocking this video--I'm glad I watched it, it's fucking hilarious. Please do more like this!
TLDR made this video so they could get a business tax deduction for their flight and travel to NYC
Loved it. However it will all make sense when you have a 3 years old kid that needs to be entertained while you try to visit the city
feels like a food theory episode. matpat has some competition finally😂
I love how this whole episode is just Jack ranting over how much he hates this store with literally no facts or data. fun little departure from the usual TLDR format
Jack, you're a smart and busy guy. Just why? This doesn't even talk about business. And the other guy's (supposedly busy too) monologue...
Tldr business is such a refreshing break from the fact based news and clear delivery, which is great but sometimes you just crave a rambling rant about candy
This video was super fun - I do worry that more content like this about more contentious brands might impact TLDR's neutral brand long term.

TLDR: I give a about M&Ms, but here is a 22-minute video about it anyway.
I have never before heard of M&M World.
The last time I went to M&M World in London, I was chased down and terrorised by the red on. It wouldn't leave me alone. Everyone in the store found it absolutely hilarious, but I was on the verge of tears. I was 20.

All of which suggests that Nebula doesn't expect to last more than 10-15 years. Should we be worried?
"Leicester Square is the worst part of London"
West Croydon and Brixton: Am I a joke to you?
I just cant stop smiling at the idea that tucker carlson wants to f*ck the green M&M and that's why he was so mad about the change
I love TLDR and watch a great deal of their videos. I also love the M&M Store in Time Square and visit it every time I am there.

@@b3ans4eva glad to hear on both accounts. Where in Australia?
when the rest of the swears are censored but 20:04
heh
Sounds like somebody has M&M-related unresolved childhood issues
I can't believe this video is twenty two minutes long.
TWENTY TWO MINUTES LONG.
I had to do a double take to make sure today ain't April 1st.
Imagine being the cool m&m and also being part of the most un-cool store
That Greg's in Leicester square is a life saver. Its the cheapest place to get a meal in central if I have forgotten to bring a lunch.
I like the change of pace, fun to hear you ramble on about it
Don't you DARE insult Greggs.
The Queens Head, a fine pub with good pub grub, is just 5 minutes walk from Leicester square. You know, if you should find yourself at a disappointed loose end.
I fucking luved watching this! If you were to publish a video like this once every couple of month, it would improve the (already high) quality of your content by a lot. It adds a lot of personality to TLDR!
This was unhinged
This is somehow less unhinged than Tucker Carlson's rant on less-sexy **WOKE** M&Ms, if only because you made fun of it by reference.
I might as well predict the next M&Ms World while I'm here: 2035, Kabukicho, Tokyo.
Surprisingly entertaining, love the casual canter
When I clicked on TLDR, I wasn't expecting Brain Blaze to have possessed the channel.
TLDR Investigates! Channel idea. Long form videos like this about strange fringe topics. Enjoyed this one!
This is a waste of time. There is no interesting business strategy, no news, not fun like the race across europe. It's a 1/3 of an hour of complaints of a store i never knew existed, tucker carlson, boring history speeches about mars company and new york, and a m&m character showcase. Why
Open a beer, take a sip every time Adam says either "like" or "you know", and try to finish the video without puking
I'm glad my suspicions about M&M stores was proved correct
twelve minutes into the video and I could not have imagined jack ranting so much about something in a video
I would not call M&M food to be honest. I wish TLDR and more media would talk more about what we can actually buy in a supermarket and that has not much to do with health any longer.
16:19
Midnight Cowboy was directed by John Schlesinger and adapted to screen by Waldo Salt. You're probably mistaking it for Taxi Driver, another film with a bunch of neon seediness that was directed by Scorsese.
This was a wonderful watch at 4AM while eating mini M&Ms
@TLDR Business
You should have told them that you were comparing the NY store to the London store for youtube. They might have gotten competitive and given you a behind the scenes look if they were that slow.
Now we not only get to know more about chocolate candies but we get to more about Jack.
You are going to be held responsible when Rubiales uses that time square kiss as his defence lol
Snack-sized? I’ve always equated them with rabbit droppings, trippy rabbit droppings.
Please please please make Nebula videos without censoring it would have been so much fun this episode. it can be on a different Nebula channel or something, but it would be so great!
Here in Mexico we have Lunetas (lit. Polka Dots) which are M&Ms but cheaper.
1:21 I can’t believe I have someone explaining to me the basics of M&M’s
Only just found out Billy west voices red m&m.
I was looking at the video and assumed a futurama clip was playing
Love this collab! :) great explanation from your American friend
This is the best commercial for M&Ms ever! Now I really wanna go to that place!😅
Nice seeing some more lighthearted videos
After being at the London store, my mother would hardly disagree with you :D She loved being there, bought loads of chocolate, fridge magnets, etc.
This is a masterpiece.
Next up, Jack visits Coke World in Atlanta and complains about there being soda on the floor.
I used to work at Pepsi too so I'd happily rant about Coke all day
My favorite M&M’s spokescandy was Kyle Busch… and Mars fired him 2 years ago.
Unhinged rants, just how I like them😂
You didn’t mean Hollywood studios did you because that’s the best DisneyWorld park!
The best produced rage video, pretending to be an intellectual curiosity.
I swear I've just been part of some kind of experiment. I have no idea what it is, but I enjoyed it I think
I love where this is going already.
Whaaaat?!? Time Square is called Time Square bc of the NYT!!!? That's a chicken or the egg story I would not have believed! Cray. And who knew I would learn that from a Brit video. And super interesting about the seedy period. I always wondered about that. My parents always said it was pretty dangerous along with Central Park into the 90s.
I was recently told that until not long at all before I moved to London in 2011, places like King's Cross were super dodgy. Now its super clean. Soho were leicester square still has seedy aspects, with cat houses, dodgy casinos and dodgy looking bars/front businesses/bouncers but overall very vanilla-ised. Camden and Whitechapel also very gentrified and so tame their practically sterile now. Always wondered how that kind of process happens so quick that the next gen knows the neighbourhood in a totally different light.
Super interesting vid. I guess that just goes to show depressingly that for us all to share spaces and feel safe together, we to sterilise things til they lose all character and meaning. Not unlike most box office movies these days which are more popular than ever but so generic and meaningless its painful.
On that wonderful note, Greggs is pure trash by the way. Toodaloo ;)
This was awesome! Thanks a lot!
Murray and Mars = M&M
Murray is the Hershey family, and the Hershey family make the US version of M&Ms, which tastes terrible compared to the Mars version.
Also, the London M&M World is below the W Hotel in London... Great place.
Can't believe we are getting M&M lore dump from TL:DR
I haven't finished the video yet, but I'm going to flip if he ends the video with "But hey, that's just a theory, an M&M Theory!"
In light of breaking news on Jimmy Buffett’s recent death you should do a video similar to this on Margaritavilles with Eddie Burback as a guest on the show…
This shouldn’t be on TLDR business but a new channel called TLDR rants.
Also I find it so odd that none of you are the kind of people who would have visited “adult era” Time Square but call it the best version for some reason.
Holy cow, what is this video? Jack spends a good chunk of his time talking about how much he and everyone else at least should, think that something sucks; then the last half is just a tacked on monologue from some TH-camr who has apparently never considered writing their dialogue, just count how many times he says 'like' - as though he never made it out of middle school.
TLDR Business is supposed to be making a comeback right now, hopefully this is the last time the scrape the bottom of the barrel.
Someome please give him a hug. He seems to need one.
Fun video, very different to your usual fare.
Midnight Cowboy not a Scorsese movie -- John Schlesinger movie. Great video, btw.
Yellow is voiced by J.K. Simmons and Red is voiced by Billy West
Midnight Cowboy was directed by John Schlesinger not Scorsese. John’s a great English director. Good Times Square rant
2:53 “…to be completely candied..”?
Green M&M gonna make me act up 🥴🥴🤤🤤
Same tbh. Got me drooling and shii😭😭
We have smarties in Canada and I prefer them to m&m 😛 I love time square, i've spent quite a lot of time there; it's great for photos and there's always some crazy stuff going on! 😄I've never been in the m&m store, I'd rather spend time in the Brooklyn transit museum 🙂
Midnight Cowboy was directed by John Schlesinger. Otherwise, great video!
Orange M’n’M: Neurotic and paranoid. Can’t leave the house without panicking.
Sounds a lot like another orange one these days.
If you had a drinking game for everytime that guy says "like" you'd die from alcohol poisoning.
This video is literally a combination of Tucker Carlson/Alex Jones style journalism (born out of meaningless and unnecessary frustration) and an out-of-season April Fools joke.
It is an abosule shame for the TLDR channel, whom I have deep respect and appreciation for in tackling, covering and reporting news and topics that most other news outlets aren't aware of or are just afraid to do so, to be doing such an abhorent video like this and in this way.
The best video so far! Loved being angry together with you!
I didn't even notice M&M World during my brief time in Times Square; I went to the Nintendo Store and the Yankees Store and then dipped out because I had other stuff to do.
This was, despite being kind of informed by a desperate rant, quite informative about how Times Square became the capitalist shrine/hellhole that it is today.
