@@bulldozer8997 no I'm glad they only paid me 7 an hour cause if they woulda paid better I might not have moved on to a job where I'm making 1500 a week. So actually Walmart was a blessing in disguise
@@bulldozer8997 My problem with your statement is that you're implying Walmart is doing nothing wrong by offering poverty wages because people can just "get a different job," but the reality is that many people can't just "get a different job" and are forced to take whatever job they can to pay their bills. Lyft was my out because I'm handicapped, but I wasn't able to sign up until I finally got approved to lease the car I have now. Institutionalized poverty is a thing. Nobody rational is suggesting Walmart pay six figures, but they do need to pay a living wage and stop encouraging employees to get welfare. They're essentially forcing the rest of us to subsidize their employees through tax dollars because they don't pay people enough to survive. That's my problem with Walmart and corporations like it.
@@bulldozer8997 A living wage is enough to survive in the geopolitical area. Obviously some areas are cheaper or more expensive than others. A poverty wage is anything below a living wage. Tens of millions of Americans are working 2+ jobs with poverty wages just to be able to survive
@@bulldozer8997 It depends entirely on the area, but $7.25 is impossible to live on in every place I've lived in California. I was making $10-$12 in socal before this January and struggled hardcore.

I just noticed that every video he does, while humorous and fun to watch is lacking one important detail. We as a people make everyone of the situation possible because we complacently spend our money then cry about it. Maybe we should vote the one way that work in capitalism. With our money. Dont like it dont spend your money. Like how I refuse to buy apple products because i dont like the fact they are fighting right to repair. Just a thought.
It's the correct way to end this, but corporations have a strangle hold on consumers because spending money is like being addicted to drugs for some people.
It’s just not gonna work those companies are big and sheeple go to them plus they have so much money and credit even if hypothetically people stopped buying from them they could remain open for years
Being able to choose where you shop is a privilege of the wealthy, not everyone can afford to. I can, but not everyone can. How about instead you start setting up parallel power structures and encouraging mutual aid in your community to make the whole capitalist mode of production obsolete, it's about the only for of revolution left open to people in most countries these days what with increasingly repressing governments and political corruption backed up by huge police states curtailing democracy in Britain, Canada, the US and most if Europe and CIA backed fascist coups curtailing it elsewhere. It's less heavy on the casualties than a violent uprising as well.
In a country like the US, were most people can't even afford a single unexpected, 3 to 4-digit bill without going deeper into an already existing crippling debt, you either spend your money at the cheapest option or go without whatever it is you wanted to buy. The idea, to vote with money, works! But not when noone has the money to choose the more expensive option. The US is a beautiful example of why the market should not and will not regulate itself, and why the government is the lesser evil (in contrast to businesses).
Like some of the other people here i also worked for Wal-Mart for a time just before and during covid. When i was hired the first thing my manager told me was you'll either love this job or hate it. I was then stuck dealing with some of the worst managers i have ever dealt with in my almost 58 years on this planet. On top of that, you had your percentage of workers who weren't worth a crap, the ones who talked about their love lives graphically in the aisles next to you, some of the bosses helping out only the female employees, etc. The only place i worked that was worse than Walmart was when i worked at a factory. Multiply my Walmart working experience by 3.
When I worked at target I helped unload trucks. I was tasked with pulling pallets out onto the floor. I was in 49 at that time. It was me another older guy pulling these heavy pallets out. When I asked why wasn't some these much younger crew members not doing this, Yeah I am that bold. I worked in the textile mills and until the company outsourced my job. I was da**ed good at it. Anyways I was told none were as fast as we 2 were. It was the same in the second target that I worked in. And these younger workers were mostly college students who felt rather free talking about their love lives and bitch how hard they had it in the store. With in earshot of customers.. Or rather "guest" as target calls the sheep to be shorn.
In the small rural town I live in. Outside of the hospital, nursing homes, a couple of barber shops, and local jail. Small mom and pop shops are almost nonexistent. What do all those things have in common? Are things that walmart does not do or offer in their store. When I lived in Pa. walmart wanted to build a store in the town next to where I lived. Which the town council was fine with. The land walmart bought did not have a road to where the proposed store to be built. Incredibly walmart wanted the town to build said road. The town council was willing to along with it. until just about everyone in the area objected it. The road that walmart want built was on their property. After getting a lot of pushback and the whole thing blowing up in the town council forced. The town council was forced to tell walmart to build its own road. Walmart declined and decided not to build the store. Much to the relief of both the people and the mom and pop shops that would have been ran out of business in short order.
Thank you for saying it- slaves! All we have to do is require or encourage companies to disclose manufacturing practices and people will chose to pay a little more to avoid financing child and slave labor.

That's because you recognised the truth in what he's saying, and the truth in this World is 99% of the times very Grim!! but like Roger would say "Lets ignore the fact they are feeding us Pig Shit and Enjoy it anyway!!"
@@joycedunnell3182 That happened to me in 2000
"Designed to hide the disgusting human body" Hahaha, best line in the whole video!
Racks and racks of shame fabric 😂😂😂
I just can't lolol shame fabric
"I own far too many companies," he's becoming self aware.
This series is teaching me so much about America
Come visit its great! /s
Not just America, capitalism in general. America is just capitalism but without many if any actual regulations on anything
This is nothing new but funny way of showing it
@@eeveegaming4798
And the regulations we do have are slowly being undone by "lobbyists" or in other words, rich corporations are bribing politicians so they can make more money
"cApItUhlIsUhM bAd."- someone benefiting from capitalism.
Roger for president!!!!
At least he's honest!
He already is, his name is Donald J. Trump.
@ Blowin Smoke: At least your username is honest...because you must be smoking something really strong to think that.

You're right, Roger is a business man. Owner of over 500 companies, always puts profits above workers and will screw over anybody if it makes him look better.
No matter how many times Roger implies my life decisions, hopes and dreams are absolute shit…I still love watching him. 😊
That's the beauty of quality comedy, the ability to communicate difficult ideas or concepts without provoking a negative response, thus making it more easily accepted into the mind and processed.
*"Well you can wait in line for an hour at a regular checkout or use one of those self checkouts, where we watch you like a criminal. Don't let the door hit you on your way out. Best regards"* -Walmart CEO
South Park did an episode on this. "The store's lowering it's prices.. Soon, all shall be Wallmart."
dude, i'm scared...
rgerber its ok ROGER FOR PRESIDENT!
Mane on a new plane nigga I second the motion!
Don't worry,
I've been talking with jesus, and he tells me everything's alright
Yay capitalism!😉
Rick Says it’s not capitalism, we live in a “Dollarochracy”. In fact, it’s morons that blame capitalism and give way too much power to the government to “fix the problem,” that is making things worse. Who do you think pays the Politicians to pass further laws to protect these companies? If you’re curious just ask Hillary who funded her campaign...😱😱
I worked at Walmart in 2016 and they were definitely fond of anti-union propaganda. Then less than 3 months later, they fired me for some trumped up reason so I didn't get benefits.
I worked for Walmart in 2020 and 2021, they sent me home the day before my benefits kicked in.
@@garethbaus5471 Yep, worst company I've ever worked for tbh.
Union busting and scabs are far too common
Current protections aren’t enough
If you can’t pay your staff properly then you don’t deserve a business
@@jmurray1110 the trick is not to call it a union.
Cant bust something that doesn't exist lol.
"Sorry almost everyone called in sick must've been something from the lunch we all got together yesterday"

Damn this sounds like Walmart
Damon Richter
"Nickeled and Dimed"...good book
Walmart is probably going to get run in to the ground by amazon
But Amazon is also evil.
Damon Richter he was mentioning Walmart
@@jamesb1221222 Amazon is arguably worse.
LOL I busted out laughing when the clothing tore to pieces while he was holding it up.
big businesses hate you guys. and that's why I love you
This is by far the scariest and darkest honest ad ever
Ethical business: that’s 4.95
People living paycheck to paycheck: hmm...
Big Box store: it’s only 2.99 here
People living paycheck to paycheck: Here’s all of my money this week.
Big box store the moment the ethical one left: that's 6.99
Haha “a coffee, a dog bed, and some legos” sounds like a good time!
Joe Gerhard “Sit in your dog bed, sip some coffee- play with your Legos... and ignore the town culture we’re utterly destroying. Forget the unions if you want to stay employed.” “Is that alright, _Joe?”_
@@Cece-jf4ho from where is this quote? 🙂
I spent $300 in a Walmart trip a few years ago. I was like DAMN! In fairness $65 of it was for a cell phone, payment.
True story. The small town my neighbor grew up in had two sewing shops. A Walmart moved in and opened their own sewing shop in it. The two small businesses were went out of business and then Walmart closed their sewing shop.
Roger tells it like it is. Thanks for who you are and what you do.
Roger 2020: Make America Honest Again.
the movie Wall-e is actually a very accurate documentary sent back from the future to warn us.
Hell yeah
Agent J least he apparently reads, bend back head, open mouth now.....
Now, I am going to have to watch it, lol
Yep
The part about not hiring full time so as to avoid paying insurance hit so hard, I'm certain my ancestors felt it. Thankfully, the American Care Act had my back and I got insurance for just $50 a month, and ended up really needing it that year.
*Cracked* is the real School of Life
EXACLTY!!
KnownNiche Its also liberal propaganda.but yeah a lot of this is actually true.
KnownNiche g
Cracked is a crooked channel that tries to scare you
Well this one's not to bad
this is now my favorite honest ad
Coffee, a dog bed and some legos. The honesty is so unseemly 💆🏾♀️
If you think his name is 'Roger', you don't know Jack.
Marv Roberts
Roger that, Jack!
I heard horton heard a whoo
That got dark real quick
And Roger is wearing black and orange, halloween colors
NO UNIONS!! LOL! I died... 😂😂
And 2 years later, they want to make the customers do the work so they don't have to pay employees.
They almost do that at the hospital
@@ivettegutierreztorres4272 How would they say it?
"Suture self."
(Yes... I'll go quietly)
Not even 1 full service checkout lane was open in the middle of the day. Not 1
I worked for Wal-Mart....this is truly ,scary, DAMN ACCURATE!!
Reminds me of that Walmart episode of South Park
This guys so honest, I'd be stupid not to buy stuff off him.
lol "Go get me a coffee, a dog bed and some legos"
racks and racks of Shame fabric
And poorly made if need be.
So from what I know of the Horton Cinematic Universe so far, the only thing that makes Roger actually angry is the possibility that his workers might end a sentence with the word "union".
I wish every cracked video was 1 hour long.
true. depends what kind of video and how often you upload.
well, I'm sure you can spend at least 1 hour doing research on the subjects that they've opened to your mind. Or that you'll find some documentary film that did just that and can present all the data to you.
but yeah it's a pity that they don't give us links to sources that we may be interested into following.
I'm running for president too bc fuck it I guess
Hey, I remember you! I'm still subscribed to you from when I last saw one of your comments and thought "you know what, I do need a different video of a banana every goddamn day". Keep up the good work!
"ya wanna get an eye exam and buy a trampoline?" 😂😂😂💀
Video idea suggestions:
'If manufacturing companies were honest'
'If startup ecosystems were really honest'
'If the software platforms were honest about your data'
'If none profit organizations were really honest' (end this one with charity water, please)
'If Superbowl commercials were honest'
'If the army and military commercials were honest'
You reminded me of wibson on #3
They did the superbowl one!
They did the software using your data one in the mobile phone one. It was hilarious and awful 😂😭
Gas stations too
Roger for president 2020!!!!
Like to vote
You earned my vote
How about 2024 ;)
Just in time
voted
I prefer Trump 2020. Maybe 2024 lol
"Hi, Im Roger, and I own far too many companies."
Not even past 10 seconds and I'm already dead.
As a former Walmart employee, you guys definitely have my applause for this one.
So true-really love this actor and this show.
This guy is pure gold.. How am I just now finding this? 😂😭
Indeed
Just found it myself. Binging now this series is awesome
Don’t feel so bad, I just found this.
does this mean there's an "if presidential ads were honest" coming next?
oh please yes!
They kind of did that
it was done long ago, dude
+Zephyr Nace-Beach
+Henrique Erzinger
i did suspect they may have before i made the comment, but i commented anyway, so apologies for that. also, they could do an updated version (although i haven't seen the video, so i'm not sure how old it is etc. so it may be hard to update / not need updating)
"We have to KILL the FISH!"
YES ROGER TELL ME HOW TO LIVE
You got it!
can we pleeeeeeeeese get a parody honest ad "if Cracked were honest'?
Joe Momberg they did! It was a series, Agents of Cracked!
agents of cracked and cracked tv were awesome. i would call those the golden days, but even higher applause might be to call them the swaim days. what i want is an honest ad tho. 5 minutes about how circumstances have forced cracked to release so much clickbait
Anarchy doesn't mean without rules... it literally derives from "without *rulers*"
Yep Walmart does suck ass I use to work there until I decided I don't wanna live in poverty the rest of my life.
@@bulldozer8997 no I'm glad they only paid me 7 an hour cause if they woulda paid better I might not have moved on to a job where I'm making 1500 a week. So actually Walmart was a blessing in disguise
Bull Dozer you are the kind of person who thinks poor people are at fault for being poor and just “don’t work hard enough” right?
@@bulldozer8997 My problem with your statement is that you're implying Walmart is doing nothing wrong by offering poverty wages because people can just "get a different job," but the reality is that many people can't just "get a different job" and are forced to take whatever job they can to pay their bills. Lyft was my out because I'm handicapped, but I wasn't able to sign up until I finally got approved to lease the car I have now. Institutionalized poverty is a thing.
Nobody rational is suggesting Walmart pay six figures, but they do need to pay a living wage and stop encouraging employees to get welfare. They're essentially forcing the rest of us to subsidize their employees through tax dollars because they don't pay people enough to survive. That's my problem with Walmart and corporations like it.
@@bulldozer8997 A living wage is enough to survive in the geopolitical area. Obviously some areas are cheaper or more expensive than others. A poverty wage is anything below a living wage. Tens of millions of Americans are working 2+ jobs with poverty wages just to be able to survive
@@bulldozer8997 It depends entirely on the area, but $7.25 is impossible to live on in every place I've lived in California. I was making $10-$12 in socal before this January and struggled hardcore. I now drive for Lyft because it's one of my extremely limited options as someone handicapped and incapable of most manual labor. Bet you didn't consider the disabled/handicapped in the workforce. We exist.
Ok glad it isn't just me who thinks the pizza in these stores is shit
you pay for what you get
cardboard pizza for 5 bucks ^_-
Amen to that
You're better off going to Little Caesars.
Costco pizza isn't bad
The kind at Sam's Club is yummy
"You wanna get an eye exam and then buy a trampoline? Depending on your location I can make that happen!" It's like someone gave a lunatic a checkbook.
Hahahaha this was soo deep! 😂😂 so accurate. Exactly what store owners are like. But stores can replace cashiers with machines. Man thats how town life ends up like its scary. The sound of greed makes me laugh lol 😂 keep them coming roger
i love how this guy is just the perfect advertising symbol
I just noticed that every video he does, while humorous and fun to watch is lacking one important detail. We as a people make everyone of the situation possible because we complacently spend our money then cry about it. Maybe we should vote the one way that work in capitalism. With our money. Dont like it dont spend your money. Like how I refuse to buy apple products because i dont like the fact they are fighting right to repair. Just a thought.
It's the correct way to end this, but corporations have a strangle hold on consumers because spending money is like being addicted to drugs for some people.
It’s just not gonna work those companies are big and sheeple go to them plus they have so much money and credit even if hypothetically people stopped buying from them they could remain open for years
He addresses that indirectly. And ... technically it's still an ad ;)
Being able to choose where you shop is a privilege of the wealthy, not everyone can afford to. I can, but not everyone can. How about instead you start setting up parallel power structures and encouraging mutual aid in your community to make the whole capitalist mode of production obsolete, it's about the only for of revolution left open to people in most countries these days what with increasingly repressing governments and political corruption backed up by huge police states curtailing democracy in Britain, Canada, the US and most if Europe and CIA backed fascist coups curtailing it elsewhere. It's less heavy on the casualties than a violent uprising as well.
In a country like the US, were most people can't even afford a single unexpected, 3 to 4-digit bill without going deeper into an already existing crippling debt, you either spend your money at the cheapest option or go without whatever it is you wanted to buy. The idea, to vote with money, works! But not when noone has the money to choose the more expensive option. The US is a beautiful example of why the market should not and will not regulate itself, and why the government is the lesser evil (in contrast to businesses).
Ha! Roger/Cracked have hit the nail on the head regarding super-stores.
Thx.
Very accurate picture of what has already happened. Amazon will kill the cube just like Netflix killed Blockbuster.
More like Amazon will take over The Cube's empty husk and spread bigger from there.
Can this guy just, have his own channel and try to sell me shit? I'd buy anything from him.
Melvin Steell You already do.
Wachu mean I’m already sold lmaooo
the whole god damn point is that the series is anticonsumption
Strong Bad
This guy is famous
"Depending on your location I can make that happen" priceless!
I still think that if Running Man gets a remake, this guy should play the game show host, he’d be perfect
Faaaaaaacts
Only in reruns
“I’m roger and I own way too many companies.”
Yes you do 😂 you have a monopoly on the world
This is also the gas station model. Everyone is now a pizzeria, deli, toy store, liquor store....

It's real life.
*"SO COME ON DOWN TO ROGERS ITEM CUUUBBE"* 🤣😂😂 always gets me
Screw it lets be everything
Don't worry guys, I did notice all the Horton branded items on the shelf and I appreciate the little details like that. Props to the prop team
No unions !!! Lmao
If these Roger bits were commercials, I would watch them.
Like some of the other people here i also worked for Wal-Mart for a time just before and during covid.
When i was hired the first thing my manager told me was you'll either love this job or hate it. I was then stuck dealing with some of the worst managers i have ever dealt with in my almost 58 years on this planet.
On top of that, you had your percentage of workers who weren't worth a crap, the ones who talked about their love lives graphically in the aisles next to you, some of the bosses helping out only the female employees, etc.
The only place i worked that was worse than Walmart was when i worked at a factory. Multiply my Walmart working experience by 3.
When I worked at target I helped unload trucks. I was tasked with pulling pallets out onto the floor. I was in 49 at that time. It was me another older guy pulling these heavy pallets out. When I asked why wasn't some these much younger crew members not doing this, Yeah I am that bold. I worked in the textile mills and until the company outsourced my job. I was da**ed good at it.
Anyways I was told none were as fast as we 2 were. It was the same in the second target that I worked in. And these younger workers were mostly college students who felt rather free talking about their love lives and bitch how hard they had it in the store. With in earshot of customers.. Or rather "guest" as target calls the sheep to be shorn.
but do they have szechuan teriyaki mcnugget dipping sauce
Then Rick wouldn't need to travel through time and space
In 9 more seasons they might.
they don't I've checked literally every rogers cube of stuff in the entire multiverse. 6 more season bro
Flareb 99 they'll get it even if it takes 97 years
please let that meme die in pieces... of nuggets!
Coffee, dog bed, and Lego's? I think I have to kink-shame Roger again...
#rogerisafurry
Roger brought back a horrible memory- this guy bought Trojans and a dog collar & I was disturbed
nah man, he just wants to be comfy while playing with legos on the floor
In the small rural town I live in. Outside of the hospital, nursing homes, a couple of barber shops, and local jail. Small mom and pop shops are almost nonexistent. What do all those things have in common? Are things that walmart does not do or offer in their store.
When I lived in Pa. walmart wanted to build a store in the town next to where I lived. Which the town council was fine with. The land walmart bought did not have a road to where the proposed store to be built. Incredibly walmart wanted the town to build said road. The town council was willing to along with it.
until just about everyone in the area objected it. The road that walmart want built was on their property. After getting a lot of pushback and the whole thing blowing up in the town council forced. The town council was forced to tell walmart to build its own road. Walmart declined and decided not to build the store. Much to the relief of both the people and the mom and pop shops that would have been ran out of business in short order.
First new Honest Ads since 2017 now live here!!! th-cam.com/video/_riGg2BW8Jw/w-d-xo.html

It's sad that this is how things really are..
“Roger’s Item Cube” sounds like the name of a Walmart parody in an adult comedy cartoon. I love it.
That’s definitely a parody of Walmart.
Thank you for saying it- slaves! All we have to do is require or encourage companies to disclose manufacturing practices and people will chose to pay a little more to avoid financing child and slave labor.
