Your shenanigans being occasionally interrupted by Bible verses in Spanish is one of the greatest things I've ever seen
loli
This is way better because I understand them
Lowkey makes me want one just so it occasionally yells Bible verses at me in a language I don’t understand
Agreed
Hell YES
The problem is that so many of these products would be good for people with disabilities and mobility issues, but they're not marketed that way and half the time they don't work.
I believe more than just "Would be good for", basically any of the ones that work (soapmagic, the jar opener, magic tap) ARE actually entirely intended for that demographic, but it's such a niche corner of the overall market that it's hard to find adspace for them unless you try to make the argument that it's for everyone.
@@chaxinitus plus the way it's advertised just makes everyone look stupid with their over-the-top acting which makes me confused as to how that's supposed to sell a product?
@@tomdragamer It's sad but when abled people see disabled people using a product they think 'that's not for me' and brush over it. They'd rather relate to a cartoonishly incompetent abled person than a realistic disabled person who just needs a few tools to help in everyday life.
I’m just imagining someone in a wheelchair talking about how the rapid ramen cooker has changed their life
@@tomdragamerfrom my understanding they have to sell to able bodied people because if the market to only disabled people then they won’t make enough money to stay afloat
the clock unintentionally becoming a gag was epic, especially as the guys got caught by surprise and stopped to pay respects even though they were joking about it
27:44 I had this thing and it’s actually goated. Only problem I ever had with it is that it sometimes overflowed with boiling water. Last year I was so tired that I accidentally put noodles in the microwave without water using that bowl and it melted, the noodles were as black as the bowl, and the whole house smelled like smoke for a month.
RIP Rapid Ramen cooker, 2019-2022.
He is survived by his brother, Rapid Mac cooker (blue variant).

I never had one
I have it because some of our bowls are too small for the block ramens and we travel a lot. It works great. Surprised to see it here to be honest
As an owner of the ramen cooker, I agree. Goated. Far from a revolutionary piece of tech, but for a plastic container, it’s epic.
That Spanish Bible Clock thing is definitely something that Flanders from The Simpsons would buy for his house ngl

That’s what I’m saying

@@MKTB22 I haven't watched it past season 24 and a few season 25 episodes. What exactly is different about him?
He has one in his bathroom of all places!
As a kid, I wanted one of those Fushigi balls and when I finally got it I started to get upset because it didn't work like it did in the commercials. So my parents tried to teach me a lesson about misleading advertisements, but I wouldn't listen so when I saw it had an age range written on the box, I thought that was why it didn't work.
At least it moves freely on magic tracks 🚗
I had one too, but when I got it on Christmas I went to my backyard to play with it because... Reasons that 21 year old me can't comprehend, anyways when I found it it was a scam I tossed that fucker to my neighbor's house breaking their window
@@nickrustyson8124 you are a menace
@@RKSTUFF357no that's perfectly reasonable yep sure is
They're just glorified juggling balls really. You can do cool shit with them but they're a performance prop that takes years to master, not an easy child's toy like they were marked as.

Fun fact about the ultimate jar opener commercial if you've never watched it: if you listen closely to the audio you can faintly hear a male voice saying a website, implying they didn't pay to use the music and used the watermark version instead.
I don't hear it, time mark?
How much you wanna bet its AudioJungle
@@NALTOHQ I just checked and it was totally the AudioJungle watermark.

Honestly, despite how awful these products are, they bring back many memories.
if you were born between 2000 and 2005 you owned at least one of these products
I completely agree with Montanakid
I have fond memories with my Snuggie.
Yes, absolutely!!!
Two of them at least worked.

The jar opener thing is real necessity for a lot of elderly people.
we had a magic tap, it was kinda awful. the lever got pressed down bc it was at the perfect height of the fridge shelved and it dumped a whole gallon of milk into our fridge, when we opened it up all of that milk spilled out onto the floor.

"the glue is gluing to the Glue!" is one of the most bizarre yet completely logical things I think I've ever heard
Well you wouldn't want it to unglue from the glue now would You?
The glue is gluing to the glue!
I can say that the actual product was utterly pointless, I used one and it is just a tube of glue with a silly little light that does not do anything to make the glue harden.

21:04 you can see the line going a bit slack because no one is pulling anything, the truck is driving backwards pretending he's being pulled. You can disable tail lights so the truck looks like it's turned off. Actually I can't tell, it almost looks like the tail lights are on, but it might be the sun reflecting on them. But we can see that the truck is driving itself lol, that's not what it looks like when you tow a truck with a rope.

@@blockheadthealt you are so very welcome
Amen !
My parents are guilty for buying a few of these products when I was younger and I am getting both nostalgia and embarrassment for each one.
I have the rapid ramen cooker and it works pretty well.
The way they took like 5 minutes to destroy those glasses made my day 😂😂😂
Just a heads up, those jar openers are life savers for people with disabilities. Any amount of independence is a win.
My grandma just about cried when we got her a good jar opener and vegetable slicer. She hates depending on others but it is a thing that comes with age. Being able to do things yourself is something we young folks take for granted.
"Warms to a soothing 100 degrees" I forgot that Americans use Fahrenheit so was like... "ah yes... 3rd degree burns, very soothing."
That’s still very hot
The Fushigi was honestly the one I was the most nostalgic about. When I was growing up, I didn't even think about it being a scam, cuz I was just like "Oooo shiny ball. I want."
Honestly a neat Shelf Warmer
Ball, give or die.
Are you a crow?
@@guillermoleon0216 yes
I was the opposite and I was a real thick skull kid. There was nothing amazing about a clear ball and they never made it look fun.
Squirmies looked more fun and it was a cat toy you moved with string.
3:57 that took all the trash with it 😂
I love how respectful they are when the clock would go off lol
Bren just casually straight shotting pasta sauce from the jar and Jude's underwhelmed "Okay..." are what friendship goals are all about!

Dude, same!!
Yoooo,I have those,very awsome
Edit:the one I have also has a stone wall breakthrough,and a X crossing
Same bruv
The magic tap thing I actually found incredibly useful when I had my newborn baby boy to easily fill up his bottles one handed since he was obviously in my arms as well. And I had a second one I used for the big creamer cause my hubby alway always would spill it and leave it out of the fridge so it was well worth getting the huge bottle put that in and if he wanted creamer in coffee he had used that. Still ended up spilling alittle on occasion or it would have a bit drip but alot less and atleast it stayed in the fridge so I wouldn't get home and see he forgot to put it away so it was left out all day and now sour😅.
It's that or powder creamer which I use occasionally too and yeah doesn't taste as good and now it's powder spilled no going bad but still powder all over. It's honestly same with sugar too it's better since I poured it into a small empty creamer bottle it spills less atleast cause yeah forget about asking him to atleast wipe up the mess. I asked everyday for 10 years with no change
The look on Jude's face when he heard you could switch the bible clock from English to Spanish made my night
Edit: "I'm sandable and paintable" killed me
Classic dumb ginger climate change maker

I second that.
Every time the clock went off I laughed I'm happy they kept it on lol

i will say that a lot of "useless" products like the jar opener can be good for people with disabilities-- if you have severely limited grip strength or mobility, a product that can give you that can be great!
true, but only if they work 🥴
something like that butter dispenser, for example, could be pretty handy for people who can’t properly grip silverware and other small tools like my late grandfather. i wouldn’t trust it not to break or make a mess, though, since most ‘as seen on TV’ products are just overpriced plastic junk.
so instead of showing how their products could make life easier and more independent for people like him, we just get infomercials for usually-bad products being used by perfectly able-bodied people who are made to look like idiots incapable of using normal stuff 💀
@@666_cthulhu a lot of these products, like the butter dispenser, jar opener, and the drink funnel for inside the fridge worked just fine! i was also thinking of other "useless products" that come up a lot like sock and shoe-pullers.
it's true that we should have more reliable, high-quality products that are made for us instead of having to use cheap gimmick products from television commercials, as the way they're shown on the commercials does definitely just make them look incompetent, i totally agree :(
Mr Burns should get one of those because he's extremely weak
Me:buys a fushigi ball
My year of therapy:✌️
Me:fixed
9:42 I remember hearing from someone that most of these As-Seen-On-Tv products are actually disability/elderly aids in disguise.
A soda bottle is easy to open for most but if you have a medical condition affecting your grip strength (or just very old) they can be a real challenge. Thing is, if they marketed it as a disability aid, it would turn away a lot of people who could benefit from it because people in general don’t like to admit that they need help doing something so “easy”.
So by pretending that soda bottle caps pose the same problem for *everyone*, it kinda normalizes the need for assistive tools like this & makes people feel better about buying them. It’s kinda worth respecting that way.
Sitting there for 30 seconds, pouring milk with the fridge wide open.😂😂😂 Yes, because no parent ever complains about leaving the fridge open for too long,such a great product!
I wanted to buy some of these things but Seymour told me I'd be wasting my money
Actually, the yellow and green glasses for driving at night really can help with glare from oncoming traffic and telsa's super bright brake lights.
Yet they marketed it as "night vision"

4:15 Agreed! My mom bought me one of these as a surprise. It was leaking all over my window seat! Plus, it was hardly blowing out cold air. 😭
The laughs I got out of this video was both unexpected and appreciated LOL the way the lil car from the magic track had a will to go flying off the track and not only took itself down, but the whole track as well. Pure beauty 😂😂😂 the Bible clock, LOL honestly this was nostalgic and hilarious y’all got a new sub & im gunna have to jump down the rabbit hole into your videos next 😂😂😂

I just had a thought. Are products sponsored by TH-camrs basically the modern-day "as seen on TV" products?
i think so
Based on some of the things that I hear about some of them (how terrible Raycons are, for example) I'd definitely say so!
This comment is brought to you by Raid: Shadow Legends and Manscaped
Yes that and "tiktok made me buy it" products and also everything on temu has the quality of an as seen on TV product
Not really, sponsors within media has always been a thing, it's not the same as infomercial marketing. The only comparisons drawn in this comment thread, would mean that every ad everywhere is an infomercial. Super bowl ads are infomercials then right? That's not how it works, look. We still have infomercials, new ones, there isn't a modern day version because this is still a thing, sponsorship ads in social media is a different kind of advertising, like regular 30 second TV ads are a different kind, and billboards are another kind, and website banner ads are another kind, they're all differentiated. TH-cam sponsors would be closer to a Super Bowl ad or logos on race cars, than an infomercial. Now, if a TH-camr was working with a brand, not sponsored but as a collaboration, and made an actual infomercial style ad with explanations and testimonials, that would technically be an infomercial on TH-cam. But generally sponsors just want you to say a few very specific things, and the only testimonial is yours, and you don't dedicate the whole video to the ad, it's just a segment of your own video. So no, not an infomercial. Infomercials were the entire programming for their time slot, that's why they went for 20 or 30 minutes.
I took like a 3 month course on marketing and advertising in college and it's super simple to understand how it works.
Infomercials are great at fixing problems nobody has ever had .
Hey this is dougdoug....
Actually some of them can help people with disabilities, like the jar opener can possibly help someone with arthritis. They are just not advertised as such, because it’s not as big as a market.
@@mulch895HI BILLY MAYS HERE
@@Negatory5yeah, I think Mr Burns has one of those
@@Negatory5The sad thing is disabled people must be a huge market in actuality. There’s a lot of us, and accommodations are usually necessary. But they really don’t care to sell directly to disabled people.
I have never heard of the banana filler but I can't even imagine a banana not falling apart... but the fact that the product was so far off the radar that Arrested Development didn't even reference it seems about right.
Bren twirling his ramen like spaghetti took 10 years off my life.

That fan is literally sitting right next to me. Does in fact leak, but also just works fine without water anyway. Its honestly just fine. Nice for smaller spaces like having it on the desk. Also worth noting some fans feel more...powerful? Where its mostly just a larger wind flow, but this thing definitely feels colder while behing really quiet.
it not gonna cool a whole room though
@@Lumiesfinetoo no definitely not a whole room, but that's what makes it good for smaller spaces
I use it in my car because the AC is broken.
But you got to live in a dry environment, I use to live in New York and my keep as hell dad got me one because at the time/5 years straight I didn't have AC in my room so every Summer I was dying of a heat stroke in there, and that fucker didn't do shit
I have one, it doesn't leak though so unsure why some people are getting leaky ones.
2.0 is also great because I am stuck in a small room where the air conditioner just doesn't like to cool my room down or can't due to the angle.
It definitely doesn't cool down bigger rooms, but my bed room is legit the perfect size for the artic air 2.0 to work (fan, air conditioner and even its humidifier option) XD

My grandma got me that ramen cooker because I ate a lot of ramen when I lived with her, and my exact thoughts were, "Why?" (though I didn't voice that to her because it was a gift). My method for cooking it worked just fine and it doesn't take that long. Also I add leftover chicken and frozen vegetables to mine, so there's no room in it to add anything. I still have it. Sometimes I use it, but generally I consider it pointless.
And also it does not work at all for Korean noodles, because Korean noodles are round so they fit in a bowl, and I kinda eat more Korean noodles than square ramen...
The Clock occasionally interrupting you guys is freaking hilarious

What's crazy about the ramen bowl is that whoever made that probably would have made way more money getting it mass produced and sold at Dollar Tree as a conveniently shaped bowl than they did trying to sell it through a (most likely pretty expensive) ad campaign.
Such thing’s only come to mind in hindsight
