James calling out the glory hole and Linus immediately giving him the dad face of disappointment killed me 😂
i hit the like button right after that, totally deserved
Same here, big LOL, best moment in whole film
He deserve an Oscar for that 🤣🤣🤣
Just the way he so casually said it caught me off guard
I like how Yvonne was not to sure if she knew what a glory hole is makes me laugh as I though she would know if Linus knows
I imagine the MSI advertising team having all of their meetings at their local Hooters with an unlimited drink tab.
That sounds like a great time tbh
gigachads
Unironically that's how a lot of meetings are in china, I once went for work and once the "formal" meeting was done (which was like 15 minutes of pretty much nothing on an office) we were invited to this place with like 20 girls in bikinis, 2 per person sitting next to you or even on the laps of some of these chinese men, unlimited drinks and food (amazing food btw) and these super serious chinese men got drunk af and started actually discussing about the bussiness like that; seemed like they cared more about how you were socially than anything else. I've heard very similar stories from other friends that have done bussiness in china.
@@piskipa AHAHAHA I want to work at msi now
sounds like a great company lol
I worked at MSI in Europe. We got an ad in from HQ where a girl in bikini like clothes holding a mainboard would be pictured with the text "Buy me! And get a free me!". You would get a free graphics card. You have no idea how hard EU HQ fought to not have to use the campaign. Imagine all the ads that didn't make it when you see these!
Seriously, what has MSI's marketing department been thinking??? They are so lucky they didn't go through with that campaign, I can't imagine the horrible campaigns they've almost had over the years.
@@tbuk8350 MSI is Chinese so it's almost guaranteed their marketing trends don't overlap with ours
That would not roll in most parts of Europe. The worst ad I've ever seen on TV was for Coca Cola in Brazil, where a girl's bikini top falls off and two bottles of coke spring out directly into the mouths of two dudes. Yuck.
@@tbuk8350 Ads in asian countries are often very oversexualised. Some time ago there was a thai ad for some mobile game showing a teenager literally drooling at the half naked girls twerking in front of him
Because these kind of ads work in East Asia, trust me I live here, and they are even competing on it.
5:41
To answer Linus' question, Ellen got her PhD in Art History from UC Berkeley and is now working at Ohio State University
She's doing pretty well regardless of how Apple treated her
Adding late, her paper was on Chinatowns in America, and "it was a really good paper" she said. :P
She had allergies and was on Benadryl at 10 p.m. when they shot her part, which is why she looks stoned out of her mind lol
She also still looks like she smoked all the weed
"Tech does not get girls" - I once had a date over and showed off my full-apartment Hue system when we turned a movie on. All the lights dimmed, the kitchen got some accent lights, it was very romantic. My date? She said: "Wow that's lazy. You can't even get up to turn off a light?"
He's right.
"I can baby... but I don't have to.".
If that's what she said, she's just looking for negative things to put you down. Or maybe to "neg" you as a way of flirting.
same ... they just think it's weird or unnecessary - every guy with facial hair thinks it's like the coolest thing ever and wants to know everything about it
Always take the WAF (wife/woman acceptance factor) into account. As men our eyes light up w/tech but more often than not your missy'll go: 'Nah. Boooring!'
In a long-term relationship try this tradeoff: 'You'll have your wardrobe / shoes and I'll have my tech. We might disagree on each other's choices but we'll respect them.'
rekt
Pfft, she just doesn't know yet how nice it is to wake up from a light that's fading in rather than the gruesome scrawny sound from a phone speaker
I dont think i have ever laughed so hard at an LTT video as i did at 6:55. The look Linus gives James is just perfect. Thank you everyone for letting that part in the video.
I'm dying 🤣
That's the climax of the whole video 😂
Totally agreed. Quite literally burst out laughing.
"That's a gloryhole" 😂
9:55 too😂
Linus calling Kevin Costner “This Actor” at 2:10 physically hurt me. Great video as always!
Lmao I was just about to say yo this actor is definitely Kevin Costner
This is a fantastic idea. I need more of the LTT Crew reacting to terrible ads :D
Surprised James didn't acknowledge the actor in the Apple commercial was freaking Kevin Costner.
honestly didn't recognize him. had to be told later! -js.
Who?
Ah kids today, if you are not in the Marvel movie you don't exist.
Too young....and Canadian
If seeing him wasn't enough, Costner's voice should be setting off alarm bells with how unique it is. I guess not a fan of Yellowstone.
Yvonne's confused look at 11:32 when Linus says "I'm very into it" and pats her leg is so funny
Linus hinting at his pegging kink
@@JeighNeither to be fair, the Madras Coffee roast video was full of pegging jokes from both of them. Whether or not it's serious, I think it's absolutely hilarious.
2:01 "this actor" is Kevin Coster Linus! Put some respect on the name! (Lol hehehe 1983 Mac commercial.) Also 7:13 was so genuine and full on 100% nostalgia rush for you, could tell wanted to sulk in the moment a little. I can quite literally see your heart almost skip a beat(with a twinkle in your eyes while your jaw dropped) as you reminisced and watched the old AOL days. I got the same feeling watching it with you, felt like seeing a lost relative that past or you havent seen in over 20years. This was our youth and it was awesome to be a part of it, as it was Golden humble times. Feels like a completely different realm we were living in back then as so much has changed in the world. These kids will sadly never know how good these times were, cliché` of me to say i know...but it just couldnt be anymore true.
W comment!
Lol I was hoping someone would figure it out
It's NOT a Apple Mac commercial, since it wasn't introduced until the famous 1984 commercial. It's a ad for the Apple Lisa.
It's Kevin Costner...calm down lol...he isn't that cool.
4:23 I genuinely didn't expect the mouse to fuck the Gameboy. FAF!
It was a good thing for Yvonne to be in this one.
It's not Yvonne its switch and click?
She was there to make sure Linus was kept in check during the more risque ads.
@@ShiroKage009 honestly, given how easy it is to get cancelled these days I think it was more to keep trolls from starting some BS about LTT sexualizing women. I'm pretty sure if anyone said anything racy it would have been edited out. Having a woman present defuses the situation, and it's harder to say they were doing anything wrong
@@jesushernandez3700 Im sure they have a whole team that thinks about everything. Including this possibility
Yeah that was a good decision for sure to have Yvonne in this video
The fact that Linus realized his kids didn't know what real camping was an has taken them every year since is incredibly wholesome
If true....
I went camping for the first time when I was in my 20s... Linus is doing alright
Yeah sometimes I ask my own parents if I can roleplay as a Linus kid and receive some love and care for once.
Poor kids, having to go camping every year, i hated camping so much as a kid, I never took my kids till my wife suggested it (she'd never been either just heard about it from mums at school), I said are you sure?????? she hated it so did my kids, once was enough, and it was just a tent in a caravan park next to the car, no hiking involved. lucky me never had to do that again.
@@daveamies5031 camping in a caravan park next to your car must be one of the worst, most boring ways to camp
AOL at 7:03 Nothing on the internet in that era worked that fast, especially AOL! Ahh the memories of clicking and then leaving the room to do something else while the computer loaded pages!
"can I please have access to my own bank account" LMAO
3:34 The Godaddy commercial was a Superbowl commercial in around 2015 where they were making fun of all of the beer commercials with sentimental dogs coming home which became a trope at the time. Honestly thought it was great when I saw it, and it definitely holds up if given context.
Makes sense. It serves its purpose as a one and done. Just not today.
I will always remember the GoDaddy commercial with the chick in court
I liked it. Everyone's too sensitive nowdays. Seeing the changes now is like seeing a generic dystopian movie where everyone is just a bunch of mindless drones.
Remember the JCVD commercials? Then Hulk Hogan did a semi nude parody of it for Hostamania, his web hosting company.
@@Hotlog69 I'm sorry Hostamania? A Hulk Hogan web hosting company? That's almost as dumb as Pastamania, and that was pretty dumb already.
6:48
"What is that?"
"Thats a gloryhole!"
I'm dead 🤣
Much glory
"I love Chinese food..." "You're right, I just love sushi."
Sushi is a fricking Japanese food
Yeah, that was the "joke."
the lighting was weirdly extra professional during this video, props to whoever did that
Linus's face when James said "glory hole" made my day omg 😂😂😂
Both yvones face and Linus's face when Linus asked yvone do you know what a glory hole is 😶🤫😇
the level of dissapointment is soooo high xD
man that part had me dying 🤣🤣
My favorite part was Yvonne pretending she didn't for sure 100% know what a glory hole is.
What is glory hole??
Linus calling Kevin Costner "this actor" was priceless
Yeah,- "this actor", you ninjaed me! 🤣
ah i almost thought it was steve jobs himself XD
Kevin who?
I was saying out loud "do they not know that's Kevin Costner?" Lmfao I guess not
Came here to say this.
19:53 YES! The version I saw had more stages of growth and said "Life's too short, play more" Wow, 2002. Such great ads back then.
I loved this video. I never wanted it to end. Please make of this!
6:52 the look Linus gave James was absolutely hilarious😂
The deadpan delivery, and full confidence in just sending it made this hilarious.
Linus looked like a disappointed dad!
that had no right to be THIS funny
I wonder if he would uses the same face when his kids watch the video and ask him to explain what james said
@@greenman360 - "deadpan delivery" was the exact phrase I came here to say as well.
i love how james just laugh at anything while linus and yvonne have weird/concerned gasp
James is the only real human in there. Ok, I believe Yvonne to a point, but generally, those "Oh my, how inappropriate! I am shocked and appalled!" reactions are product of "training", instead of being one's own nature.
@@ocudagledam u are reading too much into this
@@okarowarrior you are reading way too little into it.
If only you knew how many literally PsyOps are going on around you at all times
@@tango976 I hope ur a comedian 😅
@@repinuj i wish i was joking
seek the truth and ye shall find
this is one of the funniest ltt videos I've seen. we need more like this with you 3 reacting to stuff.
Ooooh man, I has forgotten so many of those ads, but I never forgot Xbox's Pregnancy and baby flying in the sky commercial..
Ohhhh man was that a WEIRD commercial 🤣
"This actor never actually touched a computer" - the actor= KEVIN COSTNER
yeah, 1:58. triggered me too. feel too old already. but happy for young LTT team :)
@@DVSx86 They are old enough to know Kevin Costner haha
I was wondering if anyone would notice that. Good job buddy.
yeah, lol
And he probably *hadn't* ever used a mouse before, since it was an ad for the first mainstream computer with a GUI.
James: "No way this commercial of a mouse humping a gameboy would fly today."
Also James: "Oh look a glory hole!"
lol
love the way you added in your ad at the end and showing your reactions
Linus: "I love it. Im very into it"
Yvonne: "What did he sayyy"
6:53 the cut on linus' face, i haven't laughed so hard in a while
Man....... Linus's reaction was hilarious...
James said it with such confidence
@Daniel Leone # rm -rf /
NEW MEME TEMPLATE, LEZZGOOO
I'm saving clips from these mann! James on 🔥
The old ones being super cringe are one thing, but some of those really recent ones...
Wow, it's TIFO!
We’re living a different era of tech and tech culture. Might have been appropriate for he time, but man cringe is still cringe
Simon, a tech related channel incoming?
Will this topic be coming to a brain blaze near us?
Do I smell a Business, er... Brain Blaze video cooking?
best drunken watching of a linus video. would recommend. 10/10
14:08 Whoever edited this video should get an award for that cartoony shot 😂
it's nice to see Yvonne on screen more often :D She seems like a kind and genuine person. And I like how she sometimes roasts Linus.
+1
Entire videos, perhaps weeks, of Linus getting roasted by her.
Agreed yeah it's nice to see Yvonne more often
@@c1ph3rpunk Yeah hahaha 😂 whenever she roasts Linus, I'm like lmao
You should watch the roast video if you haven't.... Savage.
James just delivers so many bangers in this it's absolutely lethal.
"At least she's got great cooling" was fantastically timed
''That's a glory hole'' but who is hiding in the dresser?
"At least she's got great cooling." Was the only one that really got me tbh. That one was S tier though.
Yeah he was.. glorious :)
I died when he said "that's a glory hole"
The guy in the 80's AOL ad at 7:09.... my first thought/q was is that Dave Hasselhoff (lol)
17:38 this is superman from 90s Lois and Clark adventures show! OMG, what a gem...
Yvonn nailed it when she said that one video looked like Linus' early videos.... I remember them like it was yesterday and she was SPOT ON!!
this video is hugely improved by Yvonne's presence
Mostly because she's just there to dog Linus...
Her dunking on Linus was easily the best part of this video.
If you did not yet, check out the roast video. She just destroys everybody and it's awesome
Every video is improved by Yvonne's presence
LOL
I remember there being an April Fool's ad for Volvo introducing their new powerful sunroof, beheading a curious cat. Some commercials really wouldn't fly these days.
more of this stuff pls, loved it!
6:53 I know everyone behind the camera was laughing their asses off
you are so right😆😆🤣
You mean their Asus? 😁
@@frankvanrijn964 yes true😅😂😂
Linus facial expression killed me .XD.
@@paintdry5124 he's like 😑😐🤨😏
The Linus tap @11:31 on Yvonne after saying, "I am very into it." and her reaction🤣
Was searching in the comment for this
That was great. Although I think it wasn't spontaneous. Probably thought about it and then re-did another take (or even multiple takes). Came out great though.
Dude im crying, these are just to hilarious 😂
The thing about a lot of pre-2000 things being shown here is that they were interstitial/infomercials, kiosk videos, or trade show/con videos. Some might be cut up for time but were mainly used to hook someone. That was just the way back then, Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst would die without all the cross industry ones made in the 80s/90s. The Jennifer Aniston/Matthew Perry Win95 commercial was like this.
The "stoner" Mac girl was actually sort of viral back then. There was even an interview with her a few years after. I think she was related to someone at Apple or the company that made the commercial. The "Switch" series also produced the ridiculous Jeff Goldblum (don't get me wrong, love him) "musings" video that is often slowed down to make him look drunk. It was that era after Apple came back with Jobs, the G3 and iMac and the iPod was starting to take hold. The buzz on their systems had started to stale again with everyone who wanted a Mac having one. I don't think the commercial really earned them many converts. That wouldn't come until 5 years later when Windows Vista (along with Apple adopting Intel) helped push the largest migration to Mac ever.
9:56
Nice save Linus... Nice save...
I thought you had a monkey for your profile
The first Apple ad, with a young Kevin Costner was funny as hell, and cringe worthy at the same time. It’s also great to see Yvonne back on the main channel. She is absolutely fantastic. James is an absolute hoot, his reactions are great.
LOL, no one even realized it was Kevin Costner 🤣
@@natalieb3766 I did. I scrolled to see if I was the only one. ☮️❤️🌈
Thank you! I said out loud to nobody, "is that Kevin Costner?" Then I figured one of them would have said something, so I shrugged it off.
@@natalieb3766 I did it as soon as i heard the great British accent (if you get it, you are old)
"This actor" 🤣 C'mon Linus! It's a young Kevin Costner!
I'm glad i didn't see those ads back then but i understand why they do it and why tech geeks are always portrayed as the odd ones
The song they had heard Linus singing is "Better off alone". The version I know is by Alice Deejay, but I dont know if that's the original one
Ellen Feiss has a Ph.D from UC Berkely in modern art now. So seems like her career is pretty solid. She's working at Ohio State University which is a sweet gig for anyone.
This is great to hear - who learned of her though all the AMV clips with her voice and anime computer shenanigans?
@@AerinRavage Thats sounds amazing, mind sharing a link?
A PhD in modern art? LOL. Sounds absolutely worthless.
Also people forget why that Ad was controversial, its because she looks stoned. And fun fact she was on drugs, Benedryl that is, her eyes are red because of allergies and she was tired because it was 10pm on a school night and her ad was the last to be shot of the batch they did that day.
@@kebabgud 😂 Yep, I thought of that immediately as soon as it started. Surprising they didn't mention that! The "it was really good paper" line especially suggested weed. 🤣
I can really respect LTT's willingness to dig at themselves while digging at others, even though the LTT short was far from the worst. I remember growing up with some of these commercials, and saying they were "tone deaf" was probably the most accurate thing I've heard in a long time.
Yeah, but they said it at a weird pitch
That was Kevin Costner in the first Apple commercial. The Pole Position ad is legendary, it was made for MTV shame they didn't watch the longer one!
I want someone to look at me the way Yvonne looks at Linus in the intro.
6:48 Linus' reaction face = PRICELESS
good one James
Truely Priceless hahahaha, i cant stop
I cant stop laughing at this, dear god, how did the editors not create a new meme of this yet????
I really need a gif of that interaction 😆
James had me howling in laughter at the "Glory Hole"
Me too
I just want to know if Yvonne was right with what she thought it was.
Hearing Linus say "I actually love this commercial." right after I thought the exact same thing made me so happy.
More of this man!
I love that the team didn't recognize Kevin Costner in the Apple commercial! 🤣
thank you I though I was going crazy.
I don't remember that commercial had to watch it a second time to be sure.
@@akariel123 Nope, that was him!
Lol, yeah... they wern't around in the 80's so they missed his early stuff. I love how they freak out about his 'mouse holding'. Thing is, Mr. Costner's a lefty, plus I'm sure the Ad 'people' told him not to cover up the mouse! Lol. 🤣
How did I not know that Costner was spelt like that I always thought it was cosner 😂
Its hilarious even seeing Linus mouth the words to the script to his camping commercial, the fact that he even remembers it after all the reading he's done is such a testament to his craft lol
Looking forward to seeing him get ribbed for it again on WAN Show this week.
I think he mentioned on the wan show during the ai or not segment how he has a really good memory for anything he's said - damn impressive.
11:15 Corridor Crew should see this and update it.
These ads make me so greatful that I missed most of them when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s lmao
9:54 - Linus did a full 180 in there. What a save.
Well he himself is Linus *Tech Tips*
Nice save
Testing the water, than paddling back, the day one
Linus’ face at 19:59 reacting to the Xbox commercial had me dying, he was CLEARLY not expecting that to happen 😂
Amazing that one definitely aired on network tv, I remember it well lol. About the same reaction. What is this? Oh an Xbox commercial…. Oookay
@@invictuslem its a british advert .... network TV ? lol u mean terrestrial TV
I remember this one as well
I have seen that ad before and was surprised they haven't.
@@todorkatsarski7487 saw that on YT as part of the banned ad video compilation
i love how linus put his own bad ads vid
21:56 oh this is BAD. LTT, you should feel ashamed
"That's a glory hole" - I'm crying.
I'm so glad LTT has grown up with their audience and goes a little more PG sometimes.
Linus response makes it better... THAT disappointment.
More PG? Isn't that the opposite of what you mean?
@@WS12658 I believe they meant from E to PG
Linus' reaction to the start of the LTT short was freaking priceless. While Yvonne just had a oh yeah that happened, kinda look.
The Apple advert - "Because the actor clearly never touched a computer in his life". Oh, you mean two time Oscar winning actor Kevin Costner 🤣
OMG I actually had that Motorola phone from the LTT ad at the end! from what I remember it was a decent enough phone for daily use, but we never did get any attachments for it cause they went for around $300 USD in my area, and even then the attachments just weren't that appealing of an idea
It always warms my heart to see Linus, his wife, and his wife's other boyfriend to spend quality time together.
Wait! what?
🤣🤣🤣
Hey!! You mean Linus' boyfriend...
Sensational 🤧😭
AYO WHAT
What?!?!?!
This was fun. That video of the "camping" was a great ending. The story of Linus taking his kids every year because of it was wholesome af too
LOL and I quote "2 generic 90s guys". That line of thought yeahhh 🤣
7:57 Linus noooooooo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good heavens, he really just went and said that cable management hole was a glory hole. No hesitation, with his full chest and a smirk on his face. I can't help but agree with Linus' reaction lmao
waited for a comment like this
He's a straight shooter. Calls it as he sees it. 🤣
I said the exact same thing.
Nah, couldn't be. It's too close to the wall...
And looked a bit scratchy.
If anyone at LTT is listening, guys, this was an amazing video, really fun to watch, why not do more? Make a series.
I can’t believe they didn’t mention that was Kevin Costner that didn’t know how to hold a mouse in the first Apple ad.
It was nice to see James and Yvonne, hopefully we get a part 2.
lol When Yvonne points out we did this before, the look on linus' face. He looses his smile and dips his head in like shame and just says "yes".
Fun Fact: That Atari Pole Position ad was filmed at Laguna Seca Raceway! I've driven that course before and it's extremely fun
BRO THE RAT 💀💀
It's great to see Yvonne on the main channel again. The wholesomeness of their interactions is inspiring!
9:38
Yvonne showed more emotion with one blink than that entire commercial
It was contempt
Lmaoooo😂 I could feel it through my screen
"That's how woman are.... according to tech marketers "
🤣 Linus, you were close... but you saved it...
Msi with the hole in the dresser 😂
My cable management looks like a god made my desk with that in comparison
14:15
Linus face looked even more creepy than the ad
6:53 Linus' reaction was priceless 😭
The MSI commercial at 10:31 and Linus reaction was the best.
I'm gonna play this on the old lounge fake flat screen sooner or later
I have never felt older than watching three adults with no memory of the iconic "WHERE ARE MY FLYING CARS?!" ad.
The story about Ellen Feiss (Apple Commercial) is that she hadn't planned to be in a commercial that day - her friend was on site for an audition. She was also dealing with severe allergies. So she was thrown in at the last minute.
The "Do you really want a clone" commercial was produced for MDG, a computer (and general tech financing company). And yes, they are a giant, exploitive scam along the lines of payday loans but with more steps.
I remember that commercial and the online infamy she had. Most people thinking she was stoned or high on something.
How do you know that ?
Did you notice that Kevin Costner is in the Apple commercial?
@@Gatorade69 She gave her real name. A quick Google search shows an interview with Brown University's College newspaper explaining the whole thing. She was apparently 15 at the time and friends with the son of the ad's director (the son features in a separate ad).
Because 2022 was the 20-year anniversary of the ad, there were also a bunch of retrospectives last year catching up with her that appeared in publications like WIRED and Cult of Mac.
@@Gatorade69 He knows because he can google. I know because I'm old. We are not the same.
i remember that 2014 MSI video because i actually needed to know how to build my PC holy *****
That pole position commercial was actually fantastic. If I had seen that as a kid, I can guarantee, I would have wanted it. They knew what they were doing.
6:38 - Meme Material right there. 😂
Great pairing of James, Linus and Yvonne. Loved how different each of their reactions was to each ad. Loved it!
Now I understand why the transition to cheap TH-cam ads shot on 10 year old mobile phones was so seamless.
"How much would it cost to keep it from your mother?"
Dude that was genial, hands down the best commercial in the video.
"Where are the flying cars, I was promised flying cars"- Avery-Brooks, circa 2000.
the death glare Linus gave James over the Glory Hole joke was fantastic; also I'm amazed Nintendo managed to have the Squaky clean family reputation considering their early ads
This was so enjoyable ahaha, I hope there's a part 2. Some tech companies are reckless
There's been enough to do an entire series. Maybe not ones quite as awful and tasteless as some of these but I've seen so many bad tech commercials over the years, especially from the Nintendo/Sega and IBM/Apple rivalries in the 90s. Though finding them archived somewhere might not be possible.
The Sony PSP white edition ad is still the most outrageously racist thing put out by a billion dollar company I've ever seen
