as a kid I would look thru the sears catalog every Christmas and check everything out while circling what I wanted. this video is almost a updated "tech" version of that and I appreciate it. I found out I need my tenth operation for crohns so I been struggling to get into the Christmas spirit but this video managed to hit that sweet spot. thank you
Maybe it's just be, but all I'm being confronted with is the recurring statement that you wouldn't need anybody near you ór with you during Christmas, if you had the gadgets. Instead of a dad, lifting up his son to put the Christmas-star on, you'd give your son the remote and give him instructions on how to fly the drone. Instead of running outside in the cold together, screaming; 'Aaahhh it's so cold' and running back with some extra wood to put on the fireplace, you now take your phone and press a button. Wasn't Christmas about working together as a team? And not working seperately untill everyone's finished and the endresult is good? I mean, I understand the show is not stating that we should do this. It's half/half comedy and entertainment and showing possibilities. But since you (TheCaenukeism) mentioned how awesome it'd be to be rich, I can tell you, it's not that awesome if you sériously have these things and remember Christmas for the lights and fire, rather than the actual 'being together.' Just saying.
You deserve a medal for saying that. Although, I do get a strong impression that Richard/the show's tone is always a bit tongue in cheek saying EXACTLY that, in a 'Won't it be wonderful now that truly lazy people won't have to do all the 'horrible' acts of just existing anymore??' To be fair....a LOT of the 'silly useless Infomercial' junk products that we assume are for terribly rich and lazy useless people, are ACTUALLY put out originally on the market for the ELDERLY and physically handicapped! So upon looking at it from that perspective, suddenly it makes a whole lot of sense why simple everyday tasks (such as pan-cake flipping, or chopping vegetables, or putting a christmas tree star up...) any regular person may do, becomes a staggeringly difficult task when portrayed in these ads on tv. When you realize the studio making those ads is replacing extremely old people or folks with crutches or a wheelchair with standard middle aged housewives, it does make everyone suddenly look easily bamboozled and lazy, when in reality its Hollywood distortion and the natural fact we are taking for granted the miracle of having full working arms and legs and not realizing it!
+ragnheiður One usually finds comedy in: -undercut expectations -ridiculous contrast -irony and sarcasm There is enormous potential for all of that in the mere selection of words. A larger vocab lends itself to craft comedy more precisely and effectively. Not that one has to be multi-syllabic with the jokes, of course. Something that made me chuckle in this episode was: "But how the rudd can I place a star atop the tree?"
Watching this in 2018 and two things came true and common, the selfie stick and the smart watch(not a ring, because we realized we need to have a mini computer to connect with our handheld computer and never disconnect)
Who are the four people who didn't enjoy this I will find you, stripe you to a chair and force you to watch every stand up comedy show, big fat quiz of the year, gadget man UNTIL YOU CANNOT STOP LAUGHING OK.
I personally love richard ayoade's comedy, but I don't think that it saves this glorified commercial. I think he shines a lot more in panel shows and not in ads.
Johnathan Ross' description of Richard Ayoade makes me think Richard and I would be the best of friends. "Hi Richard. How are you?" "I'm well, Jamie. You?" "Same." "Right. That's enough human contact." "Indeed. Same time next year?"
Why not just get a Norfolk Island Pine as a christmas tree so it never has to be cut and you can save yourself years of toil with cutting a tree every Christmas? Who needs to cut trees, when you can just grow one. All you do is put water in the pot.
Not as a house plant. They can do fine with lower humidity and slightly cooler temps (even though most houses have central heating). I keep a small one, they just can't dry out or they die. Otherwise, it would work in the average home.
+happy Why should one have to languish in the figuratively fruitless deserts of low-tech options such as biological adaptation, when one can so easily abscise the tree of one's true desire from its optimal point of maturation with a cool as shiz gadget? Thus evolution, hitherto unmatched in elegance and convenience across geological time scales, has been mercilessly thwarted by man! .... I've been watching too much Ayoade.
Nice to see other men get involved and active in their fashion choices. I wouldn't dream of using any other tailor than my own, and Im not so pretentious and assholish and terrible to ever actually Recommend a tailor to anyone, but Richard would be impeccable with little tweaks here and there. And quite frankly the moon boots dont bother me. I wear notoriously weird shoes often.
He killed that Bowie impression! Rare glimpse into a character break
7:34 "I'd liked to take him somewhere where quite rough men hang out."
"What? Like the park?"
Urahara1001 “wuff men”
I thought he said WHITE ROUGH MEN at first ... I was thinking Coleherne ?
There is just not one great moment in this video. The whole thing is brilliant. I enjoy seeing Richard interact with the world.
Richard is always so well dressed!

How are you feeling nowadays, buddy? I hope things are better for you, keep on laughing!
British shows are lots of fun, especially this one
Kirsch Rot hm.
that bowie impression killed me!!
I seriously think Richard says things that has never been said before!
Hilarious and a genius. 👏
I want that Christmas jumper with a fireplace!😍😍😍
Opens with "But how the rudd can I place a star atop the tree"
Ends with "Don't try to be intimate with me."
i just noticed: i watch this every year at christmas time.
well, i guess everyone has their one traditions... :D
I love Richard Ayoade as a person and everything he stands for.
Richard is looking distressingly gorgeous.
dressed like Mr bean
Rebecca Gomez damn can't just let people find other people attractive can you lmao
And you have bad taste, madame :P Richard is indeed a rather delectable man ;)
@@amadeusleander And you're whiny, judgmental and bitter?
I would use the word adorkable but yes, 100% behind you!
lavish praise as he insults him!? classic XD
I am seeing this for the 1st time in 2017. Kinda nice to see.
He's basically just Moss in real life. Awesome hahaha
"Kazackstan!"
Well played, Mister Ross, well played.
He's just so damn quotable!! XD
Its actually really cool to see how awesome it would be to be rich
TheCakenukeism there's a gadget for that

Future Doctor PLEASE!
Yeees I can see that!
Still keeping my fingers crossed for Ayoade as The Doctor.
I dont know why but i find people with good vocabulary just hilarious
ragnheiður kristín haraldsdóttir eyvinds well you'd love me then sister

One usually finds comedy in:
-undercut expectations
-ridiculous contrast
-irony and sarcasm

You're an American I presume.
Omg its like Moss is in his element and hosting his own show. I love it!
“140 is what I wanted, I got 142, I’m over the moon.” 😂😂
'Well I've hit my limit' lol that's just a great line
I was finding this show for weeks now finally found it
"very competitively priced", I'm definitely using this one!
I'm really happy I'm not the only one who finds Richard hot
Watching this in 2018 and two things came true and common, the selfie stick and the smart watch(not a ring, because we realized we need to have a mini computer to connect with our handheld computer and never disconnect)
those tater mitts are absolute genius
3:49 haha "Daisy, Daisy" HAL 9000
Zed Orchard
**Teddy starts singing Daisy.**
Old lady: "That is so cute"
Me: "Kill it before it kills you!"
He always cracks me up just by talking!
Richard makes me feel shabby
not too shabby
10:18 bet it runs on Windows Vista
We're going to die!
no it runs on a Nokia flip phone
eloo, ow may i be of service
yessssssssssss
18:56 "That is tight." Lol xD
Well, it was a China muff. ;)
10:50 i love richard
“I’d like to take him somewhere where quite rough men hangout” “the park?”

it's up to 10 now, mate..

Richard impersonating David Bowie with his usual deadpan face! 😄
Those claws are not for carving up a turkey xD They're for pulling pork.
if all commercials were this entertaining - maybe id pay for cable and stop using adblock
You know how instagirls write what exactly are they wearing in discription? I'd like that done with Richard's clothes.
he's so much like moss
Anyone catch the AI teddy bear singing the song HAL sings in 2001: a space odyssey? gave me chills
Amazing quality thanks 😎
London during Christmas
Richard is looking really hot in this video.
does this show still run? because it seems like one giant entertaining advert. Like do these companies pay to have products on the show?
I do not think that Northrop Grumman, is paying Gadget Man to advertise their bomb disposal robot in a comedy bit about Christmas, no.
thats actually fucking funny
Is no one going to comment on the karaoke? Lmao
Ah the internet of things, either the saviour to become even lazier or our doom towards a controlled world. What time to be alive.
Richard looks like I did the other day..."I've got to take a 12 pound poo. But, It's been soo long now that I think I absorbed it."
14:07 no need to worry about the EU safety standarts anymore
Oof
there aren't enough gifs of moments from this special.
I have a slight suspicion that he hates doing this
Patrik M I think it is TV personality. Kinda same attitude on travel man
I wouldn't mind if he became the next doctor
11:02 Caption "standard kidnapping vehicle"
12:45 anyone else having that double-crossing feeling that he actually might mean it but disguises it as a joke?

"Hi Richard. How are you?"
"I'm well, Jamie. You?"
"Same."
"Right. That's enough human contact."
"Indeed. Same time next year?"
I must say, I have never felt "Murderously hot" before.
Gadget man is my favourite show on Discovery Chenel
He's got a wicked house.
Bought the programmable MiP bot. Great xmas gift
They've really taken down all the full episodes, damn!
Breatholizer on smart phone is brilliant idea. bans u from social media haha
is it customary to shred the turkey meat for serving in the UK? makes sense but thats oddly new to me!
Why not just get a Norfolk Island Pine as a christmas tree so it never has to be cut and you can save yourself years of toil with cutting a tree every Christmas? Who needs to cut trees, when you can just grow one. All you do is put water in the pot.

.... I've been watching too much Ayoade.
Who da hell payed £1000 to repair that toy car, you crazy Richard
"What the what!?"
What they did to the bird upset me.lol
16:48 did anybody else see that the bun is fake at that part but when he sets it down it has burn marks?
20:59 I want that sweater
I want to see this guy with Kai Man Wong!
16:45 I really do hope London fairs have more appealling food than sausage in bread. Not even considering fish and chips.
I admire Mr. Ayoade's tweed, but the unfortunate tailoring of the trousers in combination with those Moon Boots™, has afflicted me with the horribles.
Nice to see other men get involved and active in their fashion choices.
I wouldn't dream of using any other tailor than my own, and Im not so pretentious and assholish and terrible to ever actually Recommend a tailor to anyone, but Richard would be impeccable with little tweaks here and there.

I don't want to brag but I just found Waldo
lives of the rich and famous.
Upload more episodes please
Richard stole Mr Beans' outfit.
if only we had devices...
(^_^) i am a big fan of Richard
Now that is a gadget I need for the hot Summers. Do you require batteries? And how many blades are we talking here good sir? Ta
When does the show start? All I get is a really long add.
(10:00) It's much like the "Shopper 13" from _Wallace and Gromit,_ and it isn't. It beggars belief.
Which Christmas market is that?
Whas that Swedish in the end? 👍😊
ty
why oh why is there no sauce on that bratwurst?
Christ webb, shave your head already!
The usual dandy wigs aren't good enough in this day and age, I presume?
that looks like the one on r2 d2 : 5:13
EU safety standards... cheers.
This is blocked in England lol
all those dangerous Christmas market jokes aren't so funny anymore
Jonathan Ross always seems desperate for attention,
Meh. All of these are just fairly unfunny product placement advertisement fests. Like a lot of English shows these days.
This guy is a little bit weird for me, looks like Whoopy and Waldo's attempt to have a son .
kack film
