This was such a fun video to make, even if I do suck at these. 🙃

You seemed like a pro crane gamer to me
Amazing vid bro
I though you gonna spend it on Fate go arcane lol it basicly 3D fate go
From my time living in Okinawa I miss those damn pizza chips they have actual toppings on them it’s nuts.
It’s really nice of Connor’s babysitter to take him to the arcade
Lmaoo

I made it 969 likes
Just marking this milestone
connor looks like a teenager who's lost in a game center but still having fun XD
I think Connor needs to optimize his gameplay some more.
Yes
Right
Dawnson's Creek and other shows casting 30 year olds as teenagers has ruined the public perception of what a teenager looks like
Bro
I feel like a “Meilynn’s Internal Monologue” commentary track on all the boys’ videos would be VERY interesting...
I like the microwave comment LMAO
Indeed
And 666 likes wow
Requesting: meilynn reaction to trash taste boys' video 👍👍
Make it happen please 🥺🥺
@Crotchwhistle Purple id call you a hypocrit if you were right.
Crane games in Japan: “Oh man you are paying too much, let me help you.”
Everywhere else: “Hahahahahahahahahaha, sucks for you looser!”
Yep, if only it was like that everywhere else
And american rpgs are no pity trash!
Pretty much why I only ever play "Skill Testers" in Jp
Not to mention that claw machines are literally set up by the owners of wherever the machine is at and they can make the claw have 0 sensitivity and be super scummy.
Technically the US machines are set up so the machine automatically pities you after it's received a dollar amount set by the owner of the machine. Of course, by "pities you" I mean "finally functions in a way where it is conceivably possible to win".
Meilynn: "have u ever put a figure in a microwave?"
sounds like the voice of experience
XD
ikr?! she is so crazy! i love her xD...she makes me feel better and not so "That weird austic guy" about muself.
@@AlphaTengua i share your pain but thats a little specific
So the pi is meant to look like an r written in cursive, huh
this reminds me of that random facebook page that popped up years ago called "I melt you're waifu" and he put a bunch of figures in the oven. then dropped off the face of the planet
"should i sumimasen someone" that quote is gold
I loved it too :D I’ve been there too and this is exactly how it works which is funny
Connor: Who would want a kettle?!
also Connor: OH YES, cocaCola slippers
Honestly though. People would 100% buy those for 60$+ here in the US.
@@shadowstep1375 not to mention that buying any of the figures and stuff outside of Japan probably costs way more since it has to be shipped over, so catching them in (fair) claw games in-person is probably a way better use of money (if you’re actually good)
Those shits 🔥
To be fair, those are some good slippers
thats my train of thought right there ngl
Nobody:
Meilynn: have you ever smashed a pregnant spider
Meilynn is my random thoughts except she says them and I love her xD

For those who are curious, Connor says “Meilynn” 23 times.
Thanks 😓👍

I have noticed that Japanese games of any kind, are not greedy. Even with claw machines, the staff will help you if you spend enough money, where in America, they are not allowed to help and it's used for a cash grab.
Where I live, we don't have crane mashines arcades anywhere near as far as I know ( Germany, maaaybe in some major cities) BUT we have one town that celebrates "Säubrenner" (pork burner) and they Lways Hve about 10 crane mashines for that. They are extremely cash grab, but with little luck and skill you can get some things cheap ( though mostly waky quality)
In general you won't receive help because they want as much profit as possible, but very occasionally you'll have the one person that will look if someone sees him/her, and if not push it in for you ^~^
It also seems like the japanese crane claws are so much stronger than everywhere else? Like they actually grab the thing, meanwhile I've never seen a claw NOT let go immediately in real life.
With every new Japanese pro I come to not like America as much. Speaking as an American myself.
@@jolie1206 facts
I wanna move to Japan no not only because of what u said but because of all the pros compared to America but the only
Thing I don’t understand is the money
Meilyne: Talks about feet and pregnant spiders
Connor: WHy are you telling me this
Let's all love lain.
She’s probably done that barefoot
I feel like I just watched someone spiral into addiction NWNENEMMWMWME
Omg ily 😭
Not to mention he wore a "uzumaki" shirt if uk wut I mean
What is "NWNENEMMWMWME"?
Are you ok?
Is this a hidden message?
Maybe better than gatcha virtual games? At least he got some slippers.
Wait Mia you watch Conner?
I really appreciate Meilyn in these, she really is like a mother coming along and encouraging him and having someone to be hyped with
"Have you ever like smashed a pregnant spider?" *I will be forever scarred*
cursed
@Merle Morgan lol
Have you ever taken a piss standing up only to see a very large pregnant spider only a couple of inches away from your foot?
I have.
@@prettyboyvolf3364 i was taking a shit as a kid and i saw a huge spider on thr door of the weird ass motel, i screamed and mom rushed in lmaoooo
I was likee bruhhhh a huge ass spider
I actually searched up pregnant spiders and I’m scared
"How can you even do that, that's not in Physics"
- Connor, Engineer bachelor's
Just gotta keep in mind that if you somehow end up in post-apopalyptic japan, the crane machines have plenty of snacks and not much in between you and them
Meilyn: Aren't you an engineer of sorts?
Connor: I'M A MONKEY!!!

"It's ridiculous"

"Oh my god it's Lightning McQueen"
Connor is a true cultured man Kachow
His voice is so adult man but his laugh is awkward teenager. It’s so perfect i hope it never changes.
His gambling addiction from Genshin has traveled into his real life.
I love how in japan when you lose enough money the staff helps. in the US if you asked the staff to do that because you lost on a claw game in america they would probably just say "yeeah. thats the point"
"I'll see you tonight in bed baby!"
Squirtle: 😧
Kermit feels abandoned
Nah Squirtle be like: *Squirtle!*

“Not a bad figure”
*drops it*
“...it’s a decent figure”
"That isn't even physics"
Physics: "am I a joke to you?"
"Aren't you an engineer of some sort?"
I thought she was there when the boys talked about how Connor made the shitty wave thingy
"Aren't you an engineer?" oh that was brutal I'm dying
HAHAHAHAHAHA THIS
I'm so confused by these machines,like the claw doesn't actually grab anything,it just kinda nudges the boxes.
That confused me a bit too. I'm so used to the US crane games where the goal is to actually grab the figure and not nudge or maneuver it. I feel like if I played this I would look like such an idiot.
Sadly that's kinda the point
Since the prizes are worth a little more than in American claw machines
The bad thing about these kind of machines where I played them is that sometimes they are programmed to randomly let go of the shit you picked up. Feels really cheap and like a slot machine. Dunno if it’s like that in US
@@Lucaz99 it sounds similar to US crane machines. sometimes when a crane machine is more expensive mean it’s harder to get. most of the time the craw would be so weak that it doesn’t have a good grip making the prizes even harder.
@@Lucaz99 most of the US crane games, that I know of, are like the ones where Connor got the Mario carts. Those kind, here in the us, are programed to have a weak grip until you spent enough time/money on it. But for conner it seemed, probably because of editing, like it took way less time to win comparatively. And to add the prizes in Japan seem to have a better price to quality ratio to them.
This is the kind of content I never knew I needed. Conner waisting his money failing at crane games
I completely agree. I’m out walking my dog laughing like an idiot. 😂
12:35
Connor: "My cheeks are moist"
Not the first time he's said that.
Probably not the 3rd time either
Oh my god
You again
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy6l
Are you the same guy or are there a bazillion of you? I see you in every comment section.
Me: reflecting if buying a used switch lite was a wise choice
CDawg: pays 70$ for a bag of chips
Conor’s parents: wow our son is making so much money we’re so proud of him!
Connor: lol, spending all my money on stupid impossible crayon games
XD
crayon games
They actually winnable, got 3 Pokemon dolls in 10 tries

New drinking game. Drink everytime Connor adjusts his face mask.
You would be dead if this was an actual thing but with me. (I always push my mask up like every 2 seconds) I’m not joking.
No even better, drink when he says meilynn
The mask is the 2020 version of dramatic anime glasses
I didn't know about the staff thing when I went a few years back, and I must have ended up spending around $150-200 on a set of holographic Vocaloid clear files...lol.
I love Meilyne in this. Imagine if Connor just went solo and how awkward it would have been XD
Did Meilyn know she was signing up to be everyone's camera woman when she got hired by Bookwalker?
I love how the staffs would help you out and even scoop the toy to put in a good position, that sht will never fly here
That's because they already won more money than the Action figure and they probably feel pitty for Connor or something 😂
Me at the beginning of the video: "How do these arcades make a profit if the crane games are so easy to win?"
Connor at the end: "I paid $70 for a bag of chips", Oh...
Connor to Squirtle - "I'll see you in bed tonight."
Kermit - "So you have chosen death."
y a n d e r e k e r m i t
Hey Kermit has his singing career to think about
just seeing only seven small bags of chips come out of that giant ass tube makes me want to cry XD
"Like Logan Paul when he goes to Sui- Ahha Yes!"
Me: I see what you're doing
XD IKR
I regret skiping over that video when it hadnt been baned yet
Japanese people are so nice, they respect and love their customers like no other country in the world. I wanna live there so badly
And then you go there, work 100 hr workweeks and die internally
The enjoyment he had when he used the Wario car was so wholesome
You could do this with joey and gigguk see who can get the most prizes with a certain amount of money
Round 2 let's gooo
Yess they need to do this!!
Tournament arc yessss
yeeess
oh yeah basically just the 500$ figure buying video!!
"Have you put a figure in a microwave before?" -Meilyn
Me: I have growing interest on Meilyn, I would totes subscribe to her. Just to see her do weird things like microwave an anime figure.
Connor acts like a child that would have extended vocabulary to describe what joy he's feeling at the moment, I love it
Yeah, it’s expensive, and the figurines aren’t worth it all, but it’s super fun to play and winning the prizes is super accomplishing
Rule of thumb: its not a waste of money if you enjoyed it(most of the time)
So Connor is the reason why pity was invented for gacha games huh?
Q: "Have you ever put a figure in a microwave?"
Me: Actually, yes. I froze a Vegeta figure in water when i was a kid, but then wanted to play with it so i put it in the microwave to melt the water annnnd yeah, CDAWG's right. That's defintiely a fire hazard lol
Rest in peace microwave
I think there's more to this story... What happened?
melt. the. water.
@@ahoyrobi hahahaha yo for real! 😂👏🏽
@@phryg2035 nothing blew up but the microwave melted the plastic and it left a chemical smell that lingered in the house for a good day or two
connor is like mr beast but instead of spending his money on random, potentially helpful things, he spends his money on inhumane and weird things
*its entertaining asf tho*
i don't think inhumane is the right word
He’s the weeb Mr. Beast who spends his money on mostly useless things that entertain us
"Have you ever tried smashing a pregnant spider?"
That has two meaning, one gory and one cursed
connor is like a child who is obessed with toys and meilyn is like a supportive mom just supporting her son doing arcade games
If you ever feel bad about yourself, remember that Connor was so bad at cranes that a staff member had to help him
Multiple times
F
Arcades arent a game, they are a life style.
"Oh just gotta go to the arcade to win some ingredients for dinner and get a kettle whilst I'm at it"
Alternate title: conner exposing his inner man child for 20 minutes
That's like every video.
“If you spend enough money, they will help you”
Ok this is truly gacha
Edit:...I’ve been noticed by senpai
Edit edit:...I didn’t know editing removes the heart...this world is cruel...

-not if you play fgo, haha...ha...-
the pity rolls haha
People in Japan are lucky, in my country the store owner would just laugh at me instead.
pity rolls irl isnt a lie after all

Connor: who wants to win rice?!
All the Asians who forgot to cook the rice before their parents cane home:
*You summoned us?*
I see what you slid there
Why is that relatable-
The way you said ¨that's brilliant¨ after winding up the lil car - my heart jumped that was so wholesome
Connor : over half of u aren’t subbed
Me: surprised pikachu face
I thought I was, but when he said that, I double checked, and behold, I was not; fixed that real quick.
@@falontani surprised pikachu face INTENSIFIES
Dang way to go calling me like that connor .imma go fix that real quick
connor's face when he was playing with wario and luigi, you don't even have to look closely to see his inner child
It’s really nice that conners mom decided to record a video with her son.
The staff watching Connor fail: 👁👄👁
No one:
Evangalian figure: t pose to assert dominance.
I stg conner being happy over winning stuff is so cute
The highlight of this video pure, child-like joy on Connor's face beholding Wario zoom across his desk.
"Some people sell to secondhand stores"

They're twins.

I think you meant to say that the other way round...
New drinking game: Take a shot everytime he says Meilynns's name
20:35 a time before the end times :(
I didn’t expect you here!
This was a really well made video; I really liked the occasional interactions with Meilin, she's got good energy about her.
the staff was probably confused as to why this same man was so mad at claw machines and constantly needed their help
Connor yelling trigonometry is also me, a maths graduate, using crane games
When Conner said, "It's like it's got arthritis.. so weak"
Bruh that comment made me weak xD
I'd love to see you play more of these. I love watching people play these crane games as we don't really have them over here in America outside of very specific arcade centers and ours are extremely rigged (cause 'murica)...so I don't really get to play these games...thus watching people play them is fun for me.
I deadass thought that this was a cosplay vid Bc I saw the money- I was like “ YES FINALLY”
Ohhh Connor should do a cosplay in public video sometime... Bonus points if he does the low budget cosplay 😆
How many Rem figures do you want?
Connor: yes.
i swear the staff members are like "damn foreigners"
"These figures are around 10-15 dollars"
Me buying them off of retailers for 50 dollars each: >:(
Me when I bought a game at a US anime con for $100 then saw it in Japan for like ¥500 😭😭😭
Gotta love that upcharge for importing products ^-^
The figures I buy online are cheap as hell, (cause my country has them nowhere) but the shipping is always like 30€ on
Welcome to Capitalism. Where assholes think crossing a few borders makes something worth 1000% of its actual retail price.
And were idiots actually pay for it cause my waifu.
Maylene: aren't you an engineer of some sort?
Connor: trigonometry trigonometry 😂😂😂
Ah, when Connor had light in his eyes and excitement in his voice for crane games 😂
My parents : You should go out and play with the neighbour's kid.
The neighbour's kid : Have you ever smash like...a pregnant spider?
online school? no. google meet? no. google classroom? no... watching connor being stupid? yes. hotel? trivago.
Girl me to
Joke: overused
17:19 i havent seen Connor that happy i a while
Connor: pssshhh who wants a Kettle?!? I’m getting some suspicious looking chips that I’ve never seen before!
“Her feet are bare.”Im dead. 🤣 The banter between Cannur and Meilynne is so good. We need more videos with her in it!
Why the way he says Meilynn is the same way Holmes calls Watson?' lmao
Me: *In school trying to pay attention*
