I used to have a Craig MP4 Player whenever I was really young. I vividly remember leaving it on the living room floor and my mom stepping on it causing the plastic over the screen to be badly cracked. My dad literally pryed the plastic cover over the screen up with a screwdriver exposing the bare LCD and getting rid of the cracks. Even though the thing was crap I absolutely loved it at the time.
I bought one about a year ago. the selling points were a lack of I-Tunes, and it cost about as much as a trip to McDonalds. It lasted about 6 months and sounded.. Not terrible. I can't say i feel ripped off.
I remember when I had the exact model in the video when I was a kid. I had a decent experience with it. Even survived being put in the washing machine by accident. My dad opened it up and just aired it out and it worked like new lol
11:49 That's a quartz crystal, it's running the CPU's clock! That gross stuff around it is wax/super glue to hold it in place, since the legs are very thin and short. You might be able to overclock it by changing that crystal...

Craig was (im not sure if they are still around) one of those cheap electronic brands you'd see in pretty much every store that sold some kind electronic around the mid 2000s in the states. They were cheap, has little to no quality control, and broke super quick. They made pretty much one of everything.
Definitely the kinda dude whose "screen persona" is just his regular personality dialed to 11. Love when people can still be very likeable and charismatic while some just become insufferable or annoying. It's the difference between trying hard to make it seem effortless, and putting in no effort and looking like a lunatic.
As someone who lives in California, those warnings are EVERYWHERE on EVERYTHING. Electronics, tools, water bottles, cars, hell, even most Walmarts out here have warning signs with most of that same text plastered in almost every aisle. P.S. Those Craig MP3 players were everywhere in my school back in the day, 'cause nobody could afford iPods.
To be fair though, I’d argue the warning is warranted in this case LOL We know lead is super unhealthy and exposure to it can cause brain damage. Not sure why they would choose to use such a dangerous material when they could just easily use a safer alternative Just Florida things I guess
Craig used to make budget sterio equipment in the 60s and 70s. They made reel to reels, record players, receivers and things like that. I'm sure this is just rebates for that.
LdeinerProductions I was just about to comment on that. My first car (a hand-me-down 1974 Dodge Charger) had a Craig 8-track player installed under the dash. It worked.
I would imagine that, these days, the trademark is owned by some kind of holding company which carries on the legacy by slapping the name on crappy Chinese audio gadgets.
This guy in my class was like bragging when I was in middle school about how he had an mp3 player and an mp4 player. Some other kid embarrassed the shit out of him and said “i have a phone”
_"The Craaaaig!"_ I lost it at the chockey biscuit part, hilarious mate. More Craigs please W... and Aarons and Joes and Franks and Beans (ok you see what I did there...)
we had a craig when i was in middle school he carved pentagrams and the name of one of my friends into his arm and we didnt see him for years after that
Craig has been around in the audio space since the 70's. They actually used to make good stuff back then. I think they had receivers made by Sanyo back in the day.
As a North American viewer, I feel I must explain the significance that Craig electronics had to me. It’s really nostalgic, honestly. It reminds me of a time when I would go into CVS and just see a whole row of these lined up (because let’s be real, no one really bought these). I know I would buy at least one when I knew I was going someplace that I could potentially lose or damage my iPod, but that’s mostly just because these things were that cheap. They were almost always on sale, so I doubt I ever paid full price for one. Good times. I’m glad you have a Craig collection. It’s just funny to me that they never had them in Australia. For us, they were basically ubiquitous, yet no one had them. It’s a very odd paradox.
Just from a little research: Craig Electronics was founded in 1963, they specialize on 'consumer electronics' and their HQ is in Miami, Florida. 13 years before Apple. And yes, they're still in business.
Just found out how amazing Craig is! They have a website and sell drones, speakers, HDMI cables, dash cams, alarm clocks, VHS tapes, phone VR case things, selfie sticks, chargers (lots!), fake AirPods, boom boxes, CD players, portable DVD players and last but not least Windows tablets! Most of this stuff has Craig beautifully brandished on it.
I love how you can both be over the top funny and entertaining and then be serious and give a fair review and criticism I think you have a really good balance. Informative and funny keep it up mate
7:49 This was actually supposed to take you to their website at the end, after playing this special video. Fun fact: The album came out in 2001, meaning the app that plays the animation probably was built for Windows 98 and XP. Still works on Windows 10.
I had one of the red mp4 players in green once, was pretty resilient for what it was, could never get it to play videos but for audio it wasn't "Terrible"? Like if they just called it an MP3 player and left it at that it wasn't a horrible piece of kit, but it would crash every now and then as it got older, until it stopped holding a charge completely. I can't compare it to as iPod as I've never had one, but compared to my old Nokia brick it was pretty good. Great video though!
1:55 Predating the era of VGA, there were other, more simplistic standards. A variant of which that was developed shortly after Monochrome was "CGA," It Involved a mere 2 colors on its palette: Cyan, and Magenta. Overlapping the two colors on screen at once could create a white, but those were all it was capable of displaying. It sounds primitive, but this was late 80's PC technology at its finest. In fact, another standard you eluded to yourself without realizing it. 16 colors was the maximum capable by the standard preceding CGA, known as "EGA"
the really amusing thing to me is that between the brand new Craigs and the brand new iPods opened on this channel, the Craigs actually turn on and work a lot more often

"In 2013, Craig Electronics, along with Curtis International and ViewSonic were sued for patent infringement by MPEG LA." Just a little something I found on Wikipedia
The disclaimer at 3:00 is a ROHS warning required for anything being sold in the US that uses leaded solder (it can apply to other things but mostly just that). It just means that the wires were attached to the pins with regular solder instead of the tin-silver crap.

Thanks... thanks for reminding me of how Windows XP looks on 16 colors and for burning my eyes
I LOVE how they are SO proud of their bootleg that they HALVED the screen size and filled the other half with the “Craig” logo. Every time you look at your fake iPod you’re reminded who made it. So iconic.
0:10 Dankpods “worst Christmas ever, my dad ran me over with a Comodore VC”
Me “he ran you over with a 70’s home computer!?”
Not THAT Commodore xD. The car he meant that's named Commodore also.
@@Windows2000Professional.s I know that now. that was my initial though and it was hilarious to me how absurd it sounded until my brother explained... granted he was confused the same way I was until HE looked it up first. :P
why do i like watching this channel even tho i moved on to watch other youtube videos and then come back to here after like 2 months
Coming back to see dankpods’ first Craig ✨experience✨
"The Craig" sounds like something Jeremy Clarkson would name a car
Me: "Mum can I please get an iPod Nano?"
Mum: "We have an iPod Nano at home"
Said iPod Nano at home:
I see this as an absolute win!
Craig🤣
"In 2013, Craig Electronics, along with Curtis International and ViewSonic were sued for patent infringement by MPEG LA."
Just a little something I found on Wikipedia
The disclaimer at 3:00 is a ROHS warning required for anything being sold in the US that uses leaded solder (it can apply to other things but mostly just that). It just means that the wires were attached to the pins with regular solder instead of the tin-silver crap.
No. ROHS sticker means it's ROHS compliant aka lead free.
june 18, 2020 the birth of the iconic craig
6:24 The transition, oh boy that genuinely made me laugh.
