Silicon Valley tech startups are here to solve all of your problems - especially problems that they created, and then kindly created solutions for. Where would we be without apps like Yik Yak or Whisper, or wearable technology like rapper Will.I.Am's Puls or Dial. While they're desperate to convince you these objects are "smart", they're really anything but - and usually involve tangling you up in the Internet of Things, forcing you to download an app for each appliance in your house and connecting your toaster to WIFI, for god knows what reason. Today, we dive neck-first into these overdesigned, overpriced failures, to see what we can learn from the people who get paid more than a small country to lie to their investors.

How does Raid have the money to advertise so much? Is it just kids with their parents credit cards?
no
@@malikthemadman wherever it comes from it sure as hell ain't earned.
I'm sure I can recite the ad to this game at this point
As a man named Dan, this is a personal attack. I won't forget this.
There he is! The pee pants man!!!!!!
PEE PANTS PEE PANTS!
Big oof, right?
Calm down HotRocks92
We didn't forget, DAN.
The juicer that was actually just a plastic bag opener. GENIUS.
not even an opener, it just gently squeezed a bag
Not even that, it just squeezes a bag that you could squeeze by yourself
It literally did nothing
It doesn't make the juice, the juice is inside the bags, you essentially bought the concept of pressure for 700$
@@anecro It's not literal juice inside the bag, it's fruit pulp. Still feccin useless
This thing was just a normal paper weight, it was over built with so much metal and etc AND it would eventually fail easily
Ah, Yik Yak. The app that sent my school into a lockdown because of an anonymously posted active shooter warning. One of the scariest experiences of my life as the administrators didn't tell us what was happening and made us believe there was a guy on campus with a gun at that moment. A beautiful memory. Thanks Yik Yak!
That's terrifying, I'm not surprised there were a lot of stories about kids doing that. Want a day off school and have flexible morals? Post something fucked to Yik Yak!
@@ManyKudos seeing these other comments of people having similar experiences is both comforting and similarly fucked up lol
Tbh its good your school acted on it, Like the threat was most defo false , most threats probably were but well is it a risk worth taking?
@@mkgaming5823 I agree I'm glad they took the threat seriously. It just sucked to be sent into lockdown for over an hour while no one got any announcements from the administration to let us know what was going on.
Also this isnt the administration's fault but the motion-sensor lights in the hallway outside my classroom would occasionally go on and off which made us think someone was right outside our classroom which definitely didn't help the experience lol
@@scoutcoker9813 Must be frustrating not knowing what is actually going on.
I want to thank Shadowman for paying for all these content creators for the slim chance they catch a whale who doesn't understand irony.
Fs in chat for Shadowwoman.
wut

I can tell you spent a long time making that bluetooth logo on the lemon look straight, A+ effort my dude
You can see the pen still in frame in the top right lol
epic
@@ManyKudos 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@ManyKudos you should tattoo all my lemons! We could make a party out of it!!
I remember Juicero and wondering what the big deal was, since it literally "juiced" nothing and instead was just a water cooler that oozed with pretentiousness. Thanks for digging that out of my mind palace.
Idk if that or the bluetooth wine bottle was worse. I feel that should've made the list
It was a press that stole your personal info
I will forever refer to my brain as a “mind palace”.
That was the expensive Bluetooth thingy that squeezed yuppie juice out a Capri Sun package, right? I think I watched Thunderf00t bust that one a few years ago.
That failure of a product will forever be associated in my mind with Code Lyoko because of critikal's video on it lmao
"Let's talk about music"

You forgot the most important thing to become a tech billionaire: having a personal, preferably family, connection to a venture capitalist.

That fake Dad text fooled me for a second until I remembered my dad hasn’t contacted me in 3 years lol. Nice editing my guy it freaked me out.
Mine just pretending I've been dead for a few years

What’s a dad?
It's funny that you mention tech and beverages. I was at Edinburgh festival 6 or 7 years ago and one of the bar locations had a great idea to give out free £10 "e-vouchers" when you signed up via email. Within a few hours of it opening my friends and I had created tonnes of email addresses and then drank free for a week. We shared the info with people working there who also started doing it. Terrible business idea, great for the punters.
Absolute legend, nothing like fleecing a poorly thought-out promo. Back at uni Red Bull did this thing where they dropped a massive crate full of Red Bull in the quad at like 6am so me and my mate rocked up with backpacks and filled our fridge, we were drinking free Red Bull for a month
@@ManyKudos Ah, a man of culture
@@ManyKudosare you joking or was that fr?
I laughed way to hard at “Objects” CEO being named Mike Hawk
Not to mention, Vagina Tester.
His cousin, Mike Hunt, is CFO.
They also boast the very promising dev team of Seymour Fani, Richard Head and Phil McRevis
Eeeeehehehehehe.
Yeah that shit was funny
"More celebrities than a registered Sex-Offender list"
aight it was kinda worth the Rayed Shadow Leggings ad for that one.
Also people who put when the ad ends in the timeline are unsung heroes
Or you could add the sponsor block extension, it's like ad block but it detects, and skips sponsor segments.

i laughed so incredibly loudly at "YIK YAKS YUSERBASE"
I remember how big an issue Yik Yak was. when I was in highschool, one of the football players posted on it that a girl in my grade gave him syphilis and since it is a small school, it spread like wildfire.
Did she?
@@ManyKudos She did. I remember her crying in front the library saying that it was true, but he didn't need to spread it around the school
Hahahahahah nice
I can't believe people are still spreading syphilis today wtf.
One could say, it spread like syphilis

Hi Mikakis Tusmall, this is my wife, Subscri Beto JamesMillerOn-TH-cam. She's Slovakian, I think

Excuse me, what the flying fuck is this entire exchange
@@cardboardbox_tech hello my name is miss moorecock
@@cardboardbox_tech lol
When I was in high school yik yak got really popular and our school ended up banning it off of the school internet due to cyber bullying as well as threatening to involve the police on any future bullying posts that were found it was wild
1985 conformed
Same thing happened at my school, some morbidly obese teacher had posts about her being “roly poly” or something and the school banned it instantly and we had like a school-wide announcement about it midway through the day.
@@221Prohunter shit makes me laugh. Like the same words aren't uttered in the halls of that very school. Lmao
"after securing millions of dollars, the team at Vessyl realized that chemistry is, hard." brilliant lol
I didn’t realize the shadow legends part was an ad and thought he would start talking about how it’s bad and scummy
Lmao that was probably the intention... even better the cheeky fucker got paid for it
Dude YikYak was HUGE at my college campus. The day I made a post (Yak? Don’t remember if it had a name) that ended up being one of the most upvoted of all time at the school I literally felt invincible.
I didn’t have a life back then, it was easy to make me feel awesome. I still don’t have a life, but my self esteem is much harder to raise now, so don’t worry about that anymore.
"Double veganism" made me laugh so hard omg it's so sad that some ppl rlly be acting like that without even exaggerating
I guess raw vegans would be double vegans lol
@@sovietmudkip1 no, it's vegans that consume other vegans.
I immediately thought of the juicer when I saw this. I remember just being completely taken aback at how insanely pointless and ridiculously expensive product that was.
at least the ice cream dispenser make good shapes
That Vessyl thing actually makes me a little sad, because I can think of a potential use case: anti-drink spiking. Imagine if your drink glass when you're out would be able to give you an alert if it detects one of the common drugs used for spiking. It'd make people a lot more comfortable about going out and drinking in bars and clubs.
While not quite as easy and usable a cup that links to your phone, they actually do make test strips / pads you can dunk in your drink and test for many common date rape drugs. The only problem with those is how hard it must be to read a color chart in a nightclub, but at least it's something
Just keep a eye on ur drink or your hand
@@mattywest8019 But there are literllat biggions of people spiking drink at every bar ever noght! How wil hold biggions of drinks? The bars are recession! The drinks are riot!
RAID SPIKOW LEGEN
BUY CUP NOW
Huh, if that was the actual intent, I could actually see this being worth anyone's time at all. That is a interesting idea, but the fact you'd have to pay hundreds of dollars to find out if steve is gonna date rape you is such a: "Oh capitalism!" thing.
@@tenyokensekia8088 at that price point it is cheaper to just assume any drink you lost visual track of is compromised and discard it
Raid my nuts Mr Kudos this was poppin. Also honored to be the Philip DeFranco secret link.
My man has the entire cast of "we're the millers" in the comments
Please don't lump me a person with ADHD together with the like of the silicon valley types. I have a hard time paying attention, not a hard time being a human like the tech start-up crowd.
I know you're just making a joke, but as a fellow person with ADHD, may I ask if you're familiar with neurodivergence pride and neurodivergence acceptance?
Basically the idea that all neurotypes (neurotypical, ADHD, autistic, Tourette's, etc.) are equally valid, and neurotypical habits and behaviors aren't the objectively best way to be human. It argues that school, employment, social life, etc. should be universally accessible to all neurotypes, not exclusively designed for neurotypicals.
Our pride flag is a rainbow infinity symbol.
@@janeeyre1990 Never heard of it but I looked it up. Thank you for letting me know about it.
I also have ADD (and stubbornly refuse to put the H in there).
One of the advantages of the condition is that I can "hyper focus" if I find something interesting. Hence, some brilliant entrepreneurs may actually have undiagnosed ADHD, and are hyper focused on their pet project.
The downside is that eventually it becomes boring, and Almay impossible to focus on anymore. That's why we tend to have so many half-finished projects.
I mean I have a hard time adapting as a human but that's because I'm a mega autismo and not a 'entrepeneur'
@@janeeyre1990 Is there seriously a validation movement for a neurological disorder? I have the fucking disorder, but I want nothing to do with this silly bullshit.
Bit disappointed Smalt, the worlds first interactive centrepiece and salt shaker, didn't make the list. Quality vid tho 👌
SMALT NOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to do a Smalt follow-up
wow just googled it, what a pointless piece of wasted potential. asking alexa to send a request to this dildo to pour out salt into a crappy plastic thing? what the actual f
I skimmed the indiegogo campaign. Being able to dispenser an exact amount of salt could be useful for people on a low sodium diet.
But yeah, the rest of the features are dumb.
15:59 TH-camr AvE did a teardown of that stupid thing; it was an engineer's wet dream as it was heavily over-engineered as fuck, and most likely the main reason it was $700 for just the stupid machine
I actually encountered my own Will.I.Am scandal, at a FIRST Robotics competition he said the event was “motherfucking dope” on stage and he was promptly de-micced, this event is documented on TH-cam
I mean when he’s right he’s right. It doesn’t happen often nowadays, they should’ve let him have that one.
Dude I fucking love you, the "brief sample" literally made me laugh so suddenly that my stomach hurts.
If the chemistry of the original concept for Vessyl was actually solvable, I can think of a group of people that would absolutely love it: partygoing women. Imagine you grab a Vessyl of wine and when you go to take a drink, it says "Wine and Rohypnol" or "Wine and Ketamine".
If I remember right, there have been products made for that specific purpose. Idk how effective they were tho.
Awesome thanks Many Kuntos
Thank you NSW Premiere Gladys Berejiklian
will i am is like a combination between kanye west and souja boy
the man is an encarnation of a tim and eric awesome show great job skit.
Cinco predicted his products
I was scared when I saw Raid, thought it was sponsored. Then I heard it was the first product on the trashfire list, and was relieved.
Then I was immediately betrayed by it being an ad.
The amount of content this guy makes could fit in a box of objycts.
VESSYL
XD
"Guys, I go at this cool drinking glass... thing, which can tell me what kind of drink I just poured into it. Look, I'm putting in this liquid."
Vessyl: *Super AYDS*
"Well, that ain't right."
Proud to say that my highschool was one of the few with a suspected bomb threat due to Yik Yak.
Seeing an actual bomb squad along with like 20 cop cars pull up to our school was genuinely terrifying at that age.
At college I remember a girl with a service dog got bullied on Yik Yak because no one knew what exactly she had (pretty sure it was a brain related issue that caused seizures) and thought she was faking. She ended up getting interviewed by the local newspaper about it.
Will.I.Am. was 100% doing a lot of uppers at that point, I remember watching an interview he did with Conan around the time and his eyes were the size of saucers and he looked like he was about to float away
I clapped with both my hands together, this video makes me make smile in the face.
I remember downloading "Whisper" in middle school and it was super popular to do shit like what you showed in the video and it was almost like a phenomena at the time. I only ever used it to post something like twice and it was something to do with my teacher being so dumb that a kid in out class taught us 2 of our main subjects because the teacher was explaining it wrong
How about the tech company using proprietary analysis of consumer data, with ties to the US government, that had the absolute audacity to name itself "Palantir"
They still exist and a bunch of news sites just posted articles about their stock being a worthy investment or some shit like two days ago. Capitalism is soooooooooo cool
I get the vibe kudos was screaming internally to have to pretend Raid is decent.
Putting Bluetooth on random inventions is the modern equivalent of putting a clock on random already invented stuff
I just imagined someone getting a call with a pulse watch and seeing that the person calling them has a “bad vibe” and not answering, and the caller being in a suicidal psychotic breakdown
hilariously funny, as always. that Diet Ayds tho
I'll never get tired of the pufferfish sound effect
You know Juicero flopped hard when hearing "over engineering it" made me instantly think of their product
It would be really cool if something like vessyl could be made to detect roofies and other drugs.
Imagine paying 700 bucks to slam a door on a juice bag. And you need an app for it.
14:23 I assume it’s for checking if your drink gets spiked which would be pretty useful for reducing the rates of sexual assaults
Dude your channel is legit hilarious. You’re a wonderful comedic writer, and as someone who has been in the business a long time… Your channel is going to explode.
Surprised you didn't bring up Jodel, it's practically identical to Yik Yak but has seen a lot more widespread adoption going strong to this day. Though I suspect it's probably not used much outside of Europe
10:08 hey that's a message from my alma mater! I was there when Yik Yak was at its peak. It was... unpleasant
That vessyl one got me.
I'm sure you could make another part to this or two. I love hearing about these stupid things.
Ayds still makes me laugh so goddam much like - they tried so, so hard to keep the name before they were forced to just give up
And then they diet of ayds
I mean, with an alluring sample like that how could I /not/ watch your podcast. So glad I looked into this channel after your IH collab.
I rewatched AvE's Juicero videos yesterday, coincidentally. Started watching this and went "damn, if Juicero isn't the big one, I'm sorely disappointed". Wasn't disappointed.
Good shit as always, Kudos. Onya mate 💕
So glad to see you blowing up man! Your stuff is great!
Thank you king!
I grew up in simpler times. Where you'd get mocked for not having a smartphone in general, not something related in particular
Man, yik yak was great. Especially in a small town where you could sometimes pick out whos who
I really appreciate how he put the time code for the sponsor so we could skip. Actually considering downloading raid shallow legions just for that.
Don't. It's a gambling platform with ads. And is also owned and financed by an Israeli GAMBLING company. Really shameful and ironic to promote this horrible product on a video about horrible products.
Sexy glasses are back
Like that crazy cup. I read in 2015 about a food scanner that could tell you the nutritional content of the food. Turns out you literally had to tell it what the food was before you 'scanned' the food.
Been really enjoying your channel! Refreshin content sir 🥳
Must be connected to the internet to drink juice!!!!!!! I will never not hate everything for the rest of my life.
Raid Shadow Legends is back it seems.
Tragically.
I kinda forgot about it ever since installing SponsorBlock
Does it ever truly leave?
It's like covid, you think it's going away and it just comes right back.
That podcast sample really got me hooked! I can't wait to see more!
8:24 “give this..”
Is that like a new version of “get this”?
Haha!!
This is a formal request to immediately replace every sound effect with the same "pufferfish choking on a carrot" sound ;)
The video editing is getting to pro level, but the writing is still consistently awesome. Keep it up!
Just found your channel and binge watching all of your videos. Good shit my man 👍
Love your vids man
The cup is a cool idea for when going out, keeping you from being like, drugged.
Shitty cup but ok idea
See that would be smart if they marketed for that
Here in the UK there has been massive resurgence in Date rape drug cases recently
But the cup would have to be constantly updated with new drugs that are being used.
Reminds me of how Ryan on the Office didn't want to market his message everything app as a high tech rape whistle.
You know, I started watching this video, thinking to myself "he's gonna mention Juicero, I bet he will".
And he did. Everyone knows the Juicero fail. And I love it every time I see it.
This channel is criminally underrated.. keep up the great videos my man!
Good content
Awesome video as usual. A tiny bit of feedback:
-Please consider using a low-pass filter on your audio track to roll off some of the high-end frequencies - there's a bit of harshness to the sound that is a bit uncomfortable to listen to on headphones.
-Please consider not supporting / endorsing predatory, addictive, mediocre software like Raid. I understand it's probably part of your contract, but felt like I had to ask, at least. That shit is malicious.
IH was right. Criminally-undersubbed channel. Definitely gonna tell all my friend about you, he'll love your stuff and shit. Many kudos
Crazy that a raid ad is in a video about silicon valley's many scandals
my favorite Will I Am product was Beats By Dad. I still hear a ringing in my ear to this day.
This is kinda random but remember to stay hydrated and have a lovely time wherever you are
Thanks Dan
Pee pants Dan WE DIDNT FORGET
@@Gunship888 lol
Will is so passionate about tech and it's really admirable and adorable. He is a good example of a wealthy dude who wants to experiment with tech without harming people. Elon on the other hand ....
Overall neat video! Thanks for uploading this Kudos!
7:47 Haaaaa, the ol' Kiwi Anon Raid #1 pic. Have not seen that in yeaaaaars haha, good stuff.
😂🤣😂🤣😂 Will's wearing his smart watch and gets a call from his dad.. Then a friend. 👀⌚ Sees there both in a bad mood. .. Rejects the calls. His friend that was having a bad day was getting off a fight and remembered he left a very important & valuable hard drive at the studio and was just calling to tell will to grab it for him. . it's now long gone because his vibes weren't good enough when calling. Ooh and his dad. Yea your mom died last night.. i was trying to get ahold of you. He thanks you for being by his side during the bad times... ... 😂🤣😂 He's soo smug.. 😂🤣😂 "only call if your vibe is right" Your vibe has to be to this dumb standard he feels he deserves.. Don't call him with Your problems. He's Rich and all is good in life. How dare you not add to his life in a good way. ..How dare you call him when in need or just depressed
Yo this is pretty fuckin Gex, mate
Don't know how to tell you this, but you're also Gex mate
Much love to many kudos! I watch them ads for ya homie!
I was yelling “Juicero” “Juicero” at the announcement of your number 1. Well done!
I don't understand why your channel isn't more popular. I can only assume you kicked someone's dog. Shame on you
I get that you need the money, but how can you knowingly endorse raid based on the content you make?
That "here's a brief sample" gag at the beef boys plug all the way at the end is the funniest thing I've heard in months, it had me floored! 😂
Great video mate!
Man, your videos are really entertaining. Keep it up, funny guy!
So YikYak was made by two people who went to my very small university. They were inspired by this anonymous Twitter that had been around for years that tweeted shady stuff about events and things happening at the school. Luckily on yik yak bullying usually got voted down and thus deleted. But not always.
I’m 36 and I laughed way too hard at Mike Hawk. It just came out of nowhere and hit me right in the face.
Mike Hawk will do that to you
I love the editing on this one
17:58 Really hits hard finding out Miura died
The funniest thing about the Puls is that you can read its logo as "Puu."
I really don't think they put much thought into that one.
Wow your videos are getting better and better! I really thought you were in that nice building...
