Yup, especially when you look at the shadows of those semitrucks and realize that the sun isn't even shining from a direction where it could interfere with visibility. The only thing you can see with those tacglasses is the blatantly false advertising
8:04 the cutaway JUST as the wheel hits the glasses is hilarious! You can see them going to roll forward before almost certainly getting annihilated, but then the next scene its suddenly back on its back again looking perfect. Some pretty damn obvious camera editing here, glorious!
@@literal_otaku Not really: the shot is so zoomed in they could have easily just rolled the tire by itself detached from the actual humvee, which of course would weigh _way_ less.
For the next Moist Esports tournament you should get the team a pair of tactical glasses, so they can stay prepared for anything, so they can stay tactical.
I like how when they ran the glasses over, you could literally see the cut when they swapped the broken glasses for intact ones. Alternate take: The glasses are so tactical, they did their own editing, and had their own stunt double.
I like how you can see the glasses get flipped forward as the tire starts running them over, then as it rolls away from them after the cut, they're back to their starting placement, almost as if a new pair was set behind the tire, lol
I noticed that too....they cut it, placed the good pair down and when the truck rolled forward, the tread nudged the glasses. Pure BS but since when have they not been?
I still love how they constantly like to show Nick like he's a veteran or he's in a combat zone without ever actually saying it, because Nick has never been in the armed forces, he's just a fitness expert
Fun fact: Charlie has been wearing the TactGlasses throughout this video. Only those who see the truth through those tactical lenses are able to comprehend another pair of TactGlasses.
Love how they treat being able to see polarized screens like an exclusive massive feature, like not every pair of polarized sunglasses can do it, and like I'm walking around encountering mysterious blank screens all the time
I love that the 'Tactical' glasses are mirror shades. Cause, almost any professional military I have ever met was really worried that they didn't reflect enough sun. I can't even tell you how many Snipers complain about not blinding every enemy within a mile with a strong glare off their Rambo shades.
Hahaha, thanks for pointing that out....I wasn't watching too carefully but didn't notice the first time. Those glasses definitely got obliteratred in that rollover.
Nick Bolton actually went back in time and made the movie Thirteen Ghosts to advertise these glasses before they even existed. That's commitment to a craft you don't often see.
I LOVE the cut when they run them over with the truck. Very realistic and they definitely DIDNT just place the tac glasses behind the tire for the second shot
3:49 just so everyone is aware, LCD screens have a polarized film over them, if you take that film off then it just looks like white light... but you can use any polarized sunglasses to see what's on the screen again. I have no idea what they're trying to prove here about the glasses other than they're polarized... like every other pair of sunglasses.
@@thatoneguychad420 Yupp, the picture will be pretty dark though for you and the TV would just be a bright white light for anyone not wearing sunglasses, so it's not exactly a better experience lol
Weird... The only easter eggs I see when I put on my tac-glasses are messages like "OBEY" and "CONSUME" and "CONFORM" and "DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY" hidden in billboards and magazine ads. I've never seen bald eagle posters while wearing them, but I have seen a lot of weird alien-looking people. Maybe mine are knock offs. Anyways, it's good to hear that Tac Glasses aren't dead. I guess They Live still.
He’s absolutely right about looking into water with polarized glasses. You can see substantially more, especially sandbars, reefs, etc. that are slightly deeper than you can see normally. Beach resident here
I went fishing with my dad a few years ago and I had these gigantic polarized glasses. He had some old man glasses that had yellow lenses. I caught like 5 trout and he didn't catch shit because I could see fish floating under the surface and knew where to drop my line and he couldn't.
@@test1122lol they're not poor. in fact, saving money not buying bs is probably a lot smarter. I bet you think logos on your clothes makes you better than other people
I bought a pair a few years ago in one if those "as seen on TV" stores. Just a regular pair of plastic sunglasses, I think they were flexible but that's it. I bought them for the memes and lost them shortly after. But yeah, just some polarized sunglasses.
Fun and games aside, polarized glasses really do make a huge difference with sun glare. I drive a lot and they didn't exaggarate too much. Same goes for staring into a body of water.
@@georgeedward602 that’s how his eagle on the screen trick probably works too, they just took the polarising filter off of the screen and since the glasses are polarised they take the place of the polarising filter.
Damn, 212 celcius degrees boiling water. TacGlases (TM) even defy new laws of physics, because in our unprotected world without tacglasses (TM) liquid water only can heat up to 100 celsius, and every additional energy will be going to vaporize it. (but to remark, gas water can heat up more until it goes into plasma state like somewhere ~3000-5000 celsius).
We were suppose to wait until year 3000 for these glasses to release but technology advanced so far that I can probably pinch Charlie’s arm right now without even being in his presence
I was wearing these tac glasses while playing call of duty and every time i was flash banged I could see through the blinding effect without any perks always giving me that tacticool advantage

Yeah but its mad expensive;; and also i always feel like I'm blind for a couple minutes when I go back inside so I stopped asking for it. I recommend clip on sunglasses though, they're actually pretty useful! And like 20 bucks at most. Not the tactical ones though, there are normal ones lol
The words “Nick Bolton couldn’t do it” sent shivers down my spine. I shuddered and shook with awe, Nick Bolton saved my Grandma from terrorists by punching through boobanium steel with his bear hands.

a good pair of polarized sunglasses will actually make it to where you can see through water much better. Almost clear through, unless the water isn't all murky and looks like sweet tea lol. But this isn't anything new by any means, all sunglasses marketed for outdoor/sports use are gonna be polarized. And to be fair, that was a somewhat realistic depiction of being able to see through water with polarized shades, other than it obviously being an edit of a totally different shot
Haha yeah the whole commercial is showing off that they’re polarized. That flag trick on the screen is yet another trick you can set up with polarized glasses
Thats why I mess with Costa del Mar, they're the best for spotting schools of fast swimmers on sunny days where the sun's glare shines horribly back at ya😂😂😂
@@puertoricanboy100 this guy gets it lol. I love my Costas! Yeah they are over priced but, if there is one thing im not cheap about its my rod, reel, and shades lol.
This is a real life D&D item wtf. You attune to these sunglasses and it gives you true sight and it can't be destroyed. This is what the follow up D&D movie needs
As a service member, can I just say he’s wearing a piece of uniform from every branch (some outdated) and those glasses wouldn’t even be allowed in uniform anyway 😂
Yeah those glasses cost too much to give a pair to every soldier. It's why they're reserved for the best of the best ; Special Operation Forces, CIA Field Agents, Navy Seal teams, Green Berets, etc.
So the way the monitor thing works is they just remove the light polarizing layer from the screen, and since the glasses have a polarizing layer you can't see the screen without the glasses. You can do this with any display by removing that layer and putting it into some glasses.
action lab has a video on how to do it. but it basically ruins your monitor for a party trick, because it permanently becomes white without wearing the glasses.
@@FreakyD83 You don't need any video editing, it's pretty easy to do, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it themselves. You could do it if you wanted, I want to get a cheap monitor to do the same.
When I was really young I always thought Nick Bolton himself was the guy who made these. So I always imagined him in some grand workshop, forging the TacGlasses with the might of Zeus.
I love how so many of these POV shots are literally just the same ones as in the original tek glasses ads, but now with a png of normal glasses put on top
Let’s talk about how he demonstrated the sunglasses being “crushed” by a sledgehammer by proceeding to increase the surface area in which force is being applied to them with that cinderblock and piece of wood. That’s gotta decrease the force substantially right?
The wood and cinder block are misdirections. There is a very brief cut as he pulls the wood off of it. Very subtle and uses the movement of the wood and concrete pieces to hide the cut.
This is very nostalgic. Reminds me of the bad infomercials that used to air from like 2 to 5am and you'd sit there and watch them.. cause there was nothing better. Cable t.v sucked, holy shit.
4:28 From my extremely limited knowledge it seems to be that the glasses have a polarizer and they just remove the polarization layer from the screen. Thus wearing the glasses completes the screens effect and let you see the image
@@l3ftie578 what are you talking about? Tacglasses are 110% pure patriotic American freedom forged by god himself and bestowed upon us with all the magical customs of capitalism. May god bless this flawless country 🫡🇺🇸🦅🏫🔫
@@l3ftie578 all "sunglasses" are polarized. thats how they filter light in the first place. that trick probably works with any pair of sunglasses in your room
My uncle broke his ribs over New Year's last year. While I was taking care of him, he had basic ground cable - and I saw a bunch of horrible Bell & Howell products sponsored one right after the other, including a James Earl Jones Prayer Clock. It's the real-life Tim and Eric's Cinco.
8:50 not even the wood was affected by "being hit with a sledgehammer" because neither it or the sunglasses were "hit" with ANYTHING! If you laid down, had an anvil placed on your chest & someone else hit the anvil with a sledgehammer, you will feel nothing. Literally nothing. All the force gets absorbed by anvil. In this case, all the force goes into smashing the cinder block.
@@SydneyStewart-d3f you'd think wrong. anvils can weigh between 100 & 500 pounds, usually 150. _dropped_ on you would obviously crush you. but having 100 pounds on you isn't going to hurt you. however, i probably should've said stomach rather than chest as you could brace with your abs. regardless, there's literally videos of it.
I'm really dumb apparently because I don't see the cut. Where is the splice at? Edit: I was looking at the first time with the regular truck, god the big tanker is fucking obvious.
@@MrDrProfJMF All jokes aside; yes, it is shameless. Former military are specifically loathsome for putting their name & service behind a garbage product being sold to, more than likely, civilians on an infomercial. This is a severe lack of integrity.
Wow. Polarized and color contrast enhancing! These are actually great features in sunglasses, but the way they advertise them as if we haven't had these technologies for decades. Just so you know, polarized glasses CAN see more fish in water, that is extremely glared. As long as it is blocking those flashes of light, it actually does let you see more.
Well unfortunately to say, they actually did good with the editing, because the tac glass flip actually cover more than just the eye glasses, causing there to be two frames, one for the eye glasses and one for the tac glasses
Charlie, you magnificent bastard. Now I actually want tac glasses. I have run over and sat on, and broke my more inferior glasses about 20 times in 30 years. The time I got turned upside down by a hit from a Kubota bucket, had a fractured skull and an arm of those lesser glasses stuck to the side of my head, no more, I could’ve kept working with the headache but my glasses still intact. Now that’s a game changer. Thanks Charlie.
I'm just gonna leave a comment to say that videos like this one are the reason I started watching Charlie years ago, and I love that from time to time he drops something like this again. Your commentary is what got me hooked on your content
@@HotDiggityDogg Yeah, neither can I, but I hope he'll stay around for a while longer in a more casual capacity (on GTLive at least, since that's my favorite channel of his).
We've reached peak youtube when someone like Charlie can use the words 'sodden panty-magnet' unironically. Truly the work of a wordsmith, I salute you, sir!
When I was getting new glasses, there was an option for "auto-shades", so I assume they become sunshades if there's too much light. Also, yes, these tactiglass shades polarize the light, so you will be able to see into ponds and see fish... It'll also let you see what's on a monitor with it's polarizing filter ripped off.
I'm glad someone mentioned the monitor thing. I saw the demo and was like... this would work for ~any~ polarized sunglasses if you tear off the monitor's polarizing layer.
A health food ad started playing exactly at 5:59, and for a second I genuinely thought Tactglasses had an advertisement that tried to convince people they would lose weight while wearing them.
i went to high school with bolton at lonestar. he was a crazy defense and during one of our games my freshman year he scored half of our 6 td thru interceptions. dude is nuts
10:01 That's the patented TacSmile technology of the TacGlasses -- these babies have so many features we don't have time to include them all in the infomercial!
7:00 its called a Refraction filter or something. It actually does work and even some modern phone cameras have it. Most of those shiny sunglasses have that filter
If you want to recreate that computer screen part of the ad, just watch any video about polarization in LCD screens. Basically, most screens have a polarization filter that allows the image to come through. You can remove that layer and use the polarization layer that's built into most sunglasses in order to be the only one who can see your screen.
the invisible screen thing means that you can remove the polarizing lens from almost any screen and only people who have glasses like these (or any other glasses with polarizing lenses) can see the screen
I think what happened with the eagle appearing is because they were showing people a screen lacking a polarizer. If you have polarized glasses you can see unpolarized lcd screens
Some dude with a backwards baseball cap sitting in his truck and wearing one of these is probably taking a selfie to put on Facebook at this very moment
Idk about the glasses but the Tacvisor actually works pretty well. I got them for Christmas couple of years ago and I was really skeptical cause I knew who Nick Bolton was but honestly it’s efficient
i picked up a generic sun visor for less than half the price of the tacvisor and i love it. i don't know if the tacvisor has any special features but it's just that the commercials are always so over-the-top for normal products that it makes you not want to trust them

And to be fair, that was a somewhat realistic depiction of being able to see through water with polarized shades, other than it obviously being an edit of a totally different shot
Haha yeah the whole commercial is showing off that they’re polarized. That flag trick on the screen is yet another trick you can set up with polarized glasses
Thats why I mess with Costa del Mar, they're the best for spotting schools of fast swimmers on sunny days where the sun's glare shines horribly back at ya😂😂😂
@@puertoricanboy100 this guy gets it lol. I love my Costas! Yeah they are over priced but, if there is one thing im not cheap about its my rod, reel, and shades lol.
Thanks to Charlie’s amazing pitch, I have just purchased every one if my friends and family these tacticool pups. Stay frosty.
Are you taking applications for friend positions? I feel super tacky without some tacs
@@brettthewilder2338 He’ll put your mom in some “friend positions” stay in your lane poser. Not everyone deserves a pair of tacs
The scene cut during the stress text of the carrier driving over all those glasses really sold me
This is a real life D&D item wtf. You attune to these sunglasses and it gives you true sight and it can't be destroyed. This is what the follow up D&D movie needs
As a service member, can I just say he’s wearing a piece of uniform from every branch (some outdated) and those glasses wouldn’t even be allowed in uniform anyway 😂
Thank you for the pizza pie. God bless.

Yeah those glasses cost too much to give a pair to every soldier. It's why they're reserved for the best of the best ; Special Operation Forces, CIA Field Agents, Navy Seal teams, Green Berets, etc.
@@Gatorade69 navy seals get a pair of "elite tactical glasses" upon return of their first mission if i'm remembering correctly.
So the way the monitor thing works is they just remove the light polarizing layer from the screen, and since the glasses have a polarizing layer you can't see the screen without the glasses. You can do this with any display by removing that layer and putting it into some glasses.
Or, you know, video editing and acting, lol
@@FreakyD83condescending lol aside, the polarization filter thing is super easy to do and is definitely how they did that
action lab has a video on how to do it.
but it basically ruins your monitor for a party trick, because it permanently becomes white without wearing the glasses.
@@FreakyD83 or you know. Polarization
@@FreakyD83 You don't need any video editing, it's pretty easy to do, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it themselves.
You could do it if you wanted, I want to get a cheap monitor to do the same.
When I was really young I always thought Nick Bolton himself was the guy who made these. So I always imagined him in some grand workshop, forging the TacGlasses with the might of Zeus.
I love how so many of these POV shots are literally just the same ones as in the original tek glasses ads, but now with a png of normal glasses put on top
I love the obvious cut when they "ran over" the glasses.
I desecrated a WW2 vets memorial site. It was so hilarious and fun. F your freedoms people
Let’s talk about how he demonstrated the sunglasses being “crushed” by a sledgehammer by proceeding to increase the surface area in which force is being applied to them with that cinderblock and piece of wood. That’s gotta decrease the force substantially right?
The wood and cinder block are misdirections.
There is a very brief cut as he pulls the wood off of it. Very subtle and uses the movement of the wood and concrete pieces to hide the cut.
at 4:05 the lady literally just lifts the glasses not even using the built in flip up lmao
This is very nostalgic. Reminds me of the bad infomercials that used to air from like 2 to 5am and you'd sit there and watch them.. cause there was nothing better. Cable t.v sucked, holy shit.

Nothing beats the shake weight
You should do a tactical product tier list where you actually buy and use them and rank them from A tier to S+++ tier
Only if The Boys™ dress like Nick Bolton.
I think Charlie and the crew need to buy some of these and put them through the ULTIMATE moist test! Only way I'd trust buying a pair!
You don’t believe in Captain Nick?
4:28 From my extremely limited knowledge it seems to be that the glasses have a polarizer and they just remove the polarization layer from the screen. Thus wearing the glasses completes the screens effect and let you see the image
yeah... it really has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the glasses other than proving they are polarized

same with my mom, those thing aren't new.
Legend has it that when Toru Osawa and Kensuke Tanabe wrote Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the Lens of Truth was based off the TacGlasses Elite.

My uncle broke his ribs over New Year's last year. While I was taking care of him, he had basic ground cable - and I saw a bunch of horrible Bell & Howell products sponsored one right after the other, including a James Earl Jones Prayer Clock. It's the real-life Tim and Eric's Cinco.
Classic uncle
I love my B’owl.
8:50 not even the wood was affected by "being hit with a sledgehammer" because neither it or the sunglasses were "hit" with ANYTHING!
If you laid down, had an anvil placed on your chest & someone else hit the anvil with a sledgehammer, you will feel nothing. Literally nothing. All the force gets absorbed by anvil. In this case, all the force goes into smashing the cinder block.
Shhhhhh don’t spoil the tricks of the trade! 😂
@@Ducaso NO! I shall not be silenced!
I don't think you'd feel anything ever again if you had an anvil put on your chest
@@SydneyStewart-d3f you'd think wrong.
anvils can weigh between 100 & 500 pounds, usually 150.
_dropped_ on you would obviously crush you. but having 100 pounds on you isn't going to hurt you.
however, i probably should've said stomach rather than chest as you could brace with your abs.
regardless, there's literally videos of it.
@@DragoNate My mistake. Certainly wouldn't be comfortable though, I can imagine :)
Gotta love the in-your-face editing of the glasses being “rolled over” by the 5-ton. 😂
Edit: 10 ton
I'm really dumb apparently because I don't see the cut. Where is the splice at?
Edit: I was looking at the first time with the regular truck, god the big tanker is fucking obvious.

@@MawkiieTawkiie
Sorry, should have put the time in my comment…8:04.
@@MrDrProfJMF
All jokes aside; yes, it is shameless.
Former military are specifically loathsome for putting their name & service behind a garbage product being sold to, more than likely, civilians on an infomercial. This is a severe lack of integrity.
Wow. Polarized and color contrast enhancing! These are actually great features in sunglasses, but the way they advertise them as if we haven't had these technologies for decades. Just so you know, polarized glasses CAN see more fish in water, that is extremely glared. As long as it is blocking those flashes of light, it actually does let you see more.
6:43 simple charlie. They arent creating fish. These are their souls
I bought one of the tach flashlights, thing goes through batteries faster than the Sega Gamegear.

I love how for the USA presentation, they didn't even bother to crop the screen and you see it outside the sunglasses frames.
Freedom knows no boundaries
Well unfortunately to say, they actually did good with the editing, because the tac glass flip actually cover more than just the eye glasses, causing there to be two frames, one for the eye glasses and one for the tac glasses
5:27 I love that little hop he does as if he's about to hit the slopes
Charlie, you magnificent bastard. Now I actually want tac glasses. I have run over and sat on, and broke my more inferior glasses about 20 times in 30 years. The time I got turned upside down by a hit from a Kubota bucket, had a fractured skull and an arm of those lesser glasses stuck to the side of my head, no more, I could’ve kept working with the headache but my glasses still intact. Now that’s a game changer. Thanks Charlie.
I'm just gonna leave a comment to say that videos like this one are the reason I started watching Charlie years ago, and I love that from time to time he drops something like this again. Your commentary is what got me hooked on your content

He did say it ironically though

@@BlitzkriegAP Can't be ironic when it comes to Nick Bolton and Tac Glasses (Abraham Lincoln's own eyewear, true story)
if a couple of dames from the active adult undergarment commercial rolled up, though....
dripping with irony
When I was getting new glasses, there was an option for "auto-shades", so I assume they become sunshades if there's too much light.
Also, yes, these tactiglass shades polarize the light, so you will be able to see into ponds and see fish... It'll also let you see what's on a monitor with it's polarizing filter ripped off.
I'm glad someone mentioned the monitor thing. I saw the demo and was like... this would work for ~any~ polarized sunglasses if you tear off the monitor's polarizing layer.
Thank GOD someone mentioned this
Finally a pair of glasses for when i accidently run over my glasses with my Troop Carrier while im driving though a Volcano in Antartica
A health food ad started playing exactly at 5:59, and for a second I genuinely thought Tactglasses had an advertisement that tried to convince people they would lose weight while wearing them.
Charlie is a certifiable master in infomercial science given his experience and history

10:01 That's the patented TacSmile technology of the TacGlasses -- these babies have so many features we don't have time to include them all in the infomercial!
The best part is I've actually seen this ad at 1am on tv and it was the most entertaining thing to watch
7:00 its called a Refraction filter or something. It actually does work and even some modern phone cameras have it. Most of those shiny sunglasses have that filter
If you want to recreate that computer screen part of the ad, just watch any video about polarization in LCD screens. Basically, most screens have a polarization filter that allows the image to come through. You can remove that layer and use the polarization layer that's built into most sunglasses in order to be the only one who can see your screen.
So glad they made sunglasses that allow me to finally see the contents of LCD screens with the polarizing film removed, god's country
the invisible screen thing means that you can remove the polarizing lens from almost any screen and only people who have glasses like these (or any other glasses with polarizing lenses) can see the screen
Lol i remember watching these ads way back in high school. Mentioning the tac glasses just unlocked a core memory.
This cant be a new commercial. The jacket the guy is wearing at 5:25 is a Burton White Collection from Shaun White from around 15 years ago.

I think what happened with the eagle appearing is because they were showing people a screen lacking a polarizer. If you have polarized glasses you can see unpolarized lcd screens
