I give this video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love your reviews brohan keep it up!
Love it❤
i give 5 star for 100 bucks
@tajcam when is the philip solo video collab coming
TAJI UR FINALLY BACK
daaaamn... bring these back!!! Taji is the most awkward, nicest dude ever! Super awesome series, I wish it never ended
Same
Subscribe to his TH-cam channel he doesn’t work for them anymore
Vice basically bankrupt so I don't see how they would restart these...
Check out @tajcam
you should check out phillip solo tv vice stole his idea
He goes inside with the security guard and leaves his 'friend' outside alone with the cake 🤣
😂 this cracked me up.
They can't walk in together or of course the owner would say yes you can have it
Tbf, there was a camera on him. I'm assuming there was more than just one camera man with him.
Was expecting the interior to look a lot worse
Bro was acting like Flushing is the equivalent of 04’ Baghdad.
It actually has a 4.1 rating on Google. This video is basically a lie
It’s a great bowling alley that’s been there for generations. Yeah they really let the outside go and the area became demographically fubar but this video is really exaggerated
"Ive been advised to go during the day, however it is 24 hours, so Ill see you tonight!!! 😀"
why is it 24 hours with the cameras the guy was a cop lol it got be mob stuff
He actually says this much differently than I remembered and with no smile. That's the mandela effect.
Dude at the counter “Calm and patient” cause his edibles just kicked in 😂
zonked
Or because they went in with a non-hidden camera man. They didn't even try with this video...
Don't be a straight edge nerd 🤓
Owner is nice. He saw a group of us smoking weed in a car and just came over said hi and asked that we just air out for a few minutes before coming inside and he comped one of our games. The owner may just be a misunderstood guy
lmao
If this is true, that’s amazing 😂
Pretty cool of you to stand up for buddy, he is just trying to run a business. He does seem like a nice guy.
He gave you a free game for getting blitzed in his parking lot before bowling? This guy is legendary
It’s so weird to get this style of content in a 10 minute increment, I would’ve gladly watched an hour of this to solve the bowling alley murders or whatever else taji uncovers
The owner was super chill.
Ya, kind of felt badly for the dude
Yeah, didn’t seem like an unreasonable person
Im a city of assholes nyc yay that guy was super chill he could of been real New York with him and short and direct but he explained himself and bla bla bla you get the point
Imagine knowing your establishment was trash, you're trash, everything around you and your establishment is trash, then walks in a funny lil guy with a pro camera crew, what would you do? 🤔
He was a liar. He said no shooting ever took place there. When actually someone was shot inside the building
“I was having a super fun time bowling with Aziz”
*footage of 7 gutter balls in a row*
It's the taking part that counts!
@@TajCam I got you, brother, just thought it was funny. Glad you got the ep out and hope the cake was delicious!
More open frames than an abandoned house
this may be the only documentary, serial or film I've ever seen set in a bowling alley where they only show gutterballs and never show a strike the whole time even though they must have happened haha
Right? Normally they show it over and over too.
haha I loved that so much
The first shot of inside the alley they actually show a strike first
@@ryannmahoney7528 And I'm pretty sure that's the only shot they have of a bowling ball actually hitting pins. lol
Odd thing to notice.
I missed this show! Honestly, it's one of the only reasons I'm subbed to this channel.
Only good vice series left.
Wah
The Action Bronson era was the best thing Vice had going
It came to an end a while back now. This is an old video that never made it onto TH-cam. From description: "join Taji as he visits some of the worst-rated spots in America, in episodes that never made it to the VICE TH-cam."
The only vice video I watch
Yeah and it’s a stolen idea from philip solo
So glad to see Taji back on my screen!
Did you hear about his new show Island Classified?
The owner sold the property for $60m. They plan on tearing it down and rezoning it to residential so they can build an apartment complex with affordable housing. It sounds like the owner has been trying to sell it off for some time and the local residents were opposed.
60 milion what?
@@Uilliam56 60 million bowling balls
@@Uilliam56 That's NYC prices for you.
@@Ezixax i’m european and i’m pretty sure very few buildings can be sold for tens of millions only skyscrapers would be valued like that,that’s why i was pretty surprised,like maybe in europe this’d sell 2m at most (depending on the city) if even that,that’s why im saying
Good for this place !
The only content that's keeping VICE alive
They went bankrupt in 2023
He passed away from covid
I don’t know about all that, but if you’re looking for more Taji content, his TH-cam channel is a good start. @tajcam. He has a new show called Island Classified.
5:29 promise you bro was only chill cause them cameras
Absolutely 😂😂
Yeah, can’t bring too much attention to a 24 Hour Bowling Alley “family business.”
I've never heard of a 24 hour bowling alley before
We had one here in north texas not long ago until some underage girls got caught drinking and they got into it with the security guards and the video went viral locally so now they close at 1am. I'm speaking about Plano Super Bowl in Plano, Tx
I've seen a few in larger cities.
Sounds like something you'd find in Vegas
I grew up in a small town and we had one. we used to do "lock-ins" as a school thing where we'd bowl and camp out at the alley overnight. but they stopped them. probably from everyone trying to sneak booze and handjobs.
I worked at one in San Francisco that was open all day/night on Fri. and Sat. - so many wild stories . . .
This guy and this show is the only reason I sub to Vice. Wish he made more.
Fr bro. I haven’t watched a Vice video since the last 5 star review
Vice went bankrupt and cut basically everything, I think they're just uploading a bunch of stuff that was ready to go to get a whatever little revenue there's left to get from the channel
@@spidashaw700 Taji has a new show on TH-cam. Island Classified. @tajcam
He's back!
This is an old video that never made it onto TH-cam btw. From description: "join Taji as he visits some of the worst-rated spots in America, in episodes that never made it to the VICE TH-cam."
yo dude vice dont exist any more its all just old clips............ they wanted to be part of the woke wave and went bankrupt because of it i haven't stopped laughing about vice and their choices yet
@@rhddfgdfdrgd @aye3678 oh man ...
Taji is the best thing to ever happen to Vice!!
He passed away from Covid
@@AnthonyGuy-o9hClose… he actually has a new show on his TH-cam channel, @tajcam. The show is Island Classified. Pls go subscribe so Taji can keep staying alive.
Woooo guess how's back ,back again. Love you bro make ten thousand more episodes please
He’s making more episodes but it’s a new show on his TH-cam channel, called Island Classified on his channel @tajcam
Bring this series back!!
This dude is single handidly keeping vice alive xD
And now he has a new show on TH-cam called Island Classied.
Is this series back!? No way.
it’s not
This segment was from the S1E1 of the series. It originally aired back in 2020.
Unfortunately no
No the dude passed away from covid 19
@@AnthonyGuy-o9h that’s not true
My wife’s sister was able to walk in with a packaged cake but they immediately wanted to charge us for “having a party” just cause of it. We told them we’ll just keep it closed so they kept someone there just to watch us. They even kept denying us utensils because they did not want us to eat the cake even if we didn’t sing happy birthday despite us ordering food. Also the balls were damaged and didn’t roll properly.
so, what you're saying is, the cake was a lie?
Lmao this dude and his "party rule"... There's a thin line between a "party" and a group of friends meeting up for a night out to bowl a few games while socializing over some drinks & pizza.
The 2 groups of people are the same, except the non-partiers top the night off with another pitcher of beer 🍻 instead of cake 🎂 for dessert.
What a party pooper 💩
@@_Amor_Fati Almost all restaurants and places of business that sell food party or no party NEVER ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD!!!!!!
i don’t think they hit 1 pin while bowling 😂
The lengths this man goes to just to make us cringe hard each and every time is nothing short of commendable.
Hats off to king of awkward!
I just rewatched a episode of one star reviews! MORE!!!!!
As soon as any of these 1 star places sees cameras they act nicer, you guys need to hide the cameras

We want more with taji
Why isnt this the pinned comment lol
Yall plagiarized the worst rated series from PhilipSoloTV
You guys have to!
I love this series!
So refreshing to see a new video of Taji on VIce!
Taj always coming out to hear the owners side. People are emotional when leaving reviews: but lives are on the line. If not the owners, their kids. Try and be kind to people who are down on their luck and GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DO BETTER. Life is short. One Love
Sir mu home problem plice helpe me sir
I guess the police who reported the shooting that took place inside was just emotional
TAJ COOOOME BACK, EVEN IF ITS NOT ON VICE! We NEED your 1 star reviews stilllll!
5:30 he was only calm and patient because of the 3 vice cameras pointing right at him 😂
vice fell of SO hard 😢😅
Why do I feel like this dude was mob affiliated or was worried about being asked if the alley was ever a front 😂
I’m a photographer from queens and recently popped into this place after literally never going there after 40 years to photograph it.
Pics came out dope. It wasn’t that bad inside. But I was also there at 5 pm lol. The location can be sketch for sure at night
please bring this series back oh my god
This is great. Been there before. Not a bad bowling alley at all. The league play is super competitive too.
Bring these back and anything with taj. Hes my favorite to watch.
Taji has a new show on TH-cam called Island Classified. Episodes currently dropping weekly.
I thought vice was shutting down? I'm very happy for more one star reviews though.
Mike was super chill!
Taji is back!!! *.*
Rehire him and do more Vice!!!
unfortunately not gunna happen. this is just an unreleased episode
He has a new show on TH-cam called Island Classified. Tajcamtv. You can always find out his projects if you subcribe. I just love the internet sometimes.
i miss this show! it was the main reason why i watched Vice!
loving 1 star reviews we need more one on food and movies
Finally something worth watching on Vice again 5 stars 😊
Got me lane switching with the paint glistening
Turn your neck and your dame missing
I've seen customers bring in cakes allllll the time for birthdays. We even keep it in the walk-in for you free of charge lol
Why did I think this was young Ethan Klein
I hope this series comes back!
Thank you For the return, Vice
lol I picture the gun violence just being Walter form The Big Lebowski "OVER THE LINE!! mark it zero... Smokey my friend. you're entering a world of pain" haha
I have a feeling these 1 star reviewed places are given advanced notice of the filming crew so they clean up their act at the last moment. To truly determine whether the 1 star reviews are warranted, Vice needs to do an undercover series.
yeah Vice is no longer the underground entity is started off as. they prob have a legal and marketing department making sure things are cool before filming
Duh!
Come on man, is our guy Thaji really this busy……
😤 We need more lol ✌🏽❤️
Island Classified with Taji Ameen. Right here on TH-cam.
flat rock lanes in Michigan is way worse. And if you wanna smell some nasty shoes, just go bowling there.😂
Haha God I love this series. Glad to see it's still going. The montage of y'all dapping each other up after a million gutter balls killed me 😂😂
You CAN bring a cake to a restaurant. My grandma does it every birthday lol
I was gonna say we do it too. Except one place wanted to charge us for utensils, so I was like next time we bring utensils.
@@A_W2016_love Don't act like a homeless squatter.
White old lady privilege. Let's see you and and a bunch of your guy friends try to throw a party at McDonalds.
Depends on the restaurant. Some places don’t allow it, or they charge a fee.
@@toolbaggers 😂😂😂 why because I want to bring some utensils to eat cake at a restaurant.
This is one of the best shows on the internet - and I spend all day on TH-cam, plus I work in the industry. I love this show.
I got another good one for you. Island Classified with Taji. On TH-cam. It’s his new show
Is this an unreleased episode or is the show back?
this is from 2015
@@TheWeardale1Well it can’t be since the reviews were posted in 2019
@@viictoz yeah this ep from 2020 not new
It's from 2026. I cant wait to watch it!
@@viictoz I guess you never heard of the magic of editing.
vice you need more of this dude... reviewing places!! Hes only reason i watch Vice anymore!😂💯🤘
Keep doing these vids. These are the only Vice videos I watch anyway
its from 2020
You answered my birthday wish Vice. Bring this series back ❤
Happy birthday! 🎂
It looks no different from any bowling alley I've ever been in.
And I see no issue with not allowing cake. Most bowling alleys have a food area. If they make money selling food, they're not going to want other people bringing their own food and undercutting their food sales. It's the same reason movie theaters don't allow people to bring snacks.
yeah for real, no fucking way any bowling alley around me would allow outside food or drinks. i mean mayyyyybe if you were preordering pizzas and pitchers of beer, they may allow the cake, but not an impromptu party with 1 regular lane. that's like sneaking a bottle of whiskey in, of course they're gonna be mad.
But, do they sell CAKE??
@@_Amor_Fati yes? i dunno, it's not about whether they sell cake or not, it's about asking permission to bring outside food in.
i dunno why so many people assume you can just bring a cake into any random business and have a party...you can do that at a public park, but you can't walk into a business that literally sells party packages, and just have your own impromptu party.
My boy Taji back to bringing 🔥 with these Worst rated reviews. God they are the best videos has and I’m not mad about that. Taji’s vibe is just so quirky😂😂😂
*The smile of a virgin*
I'm sorry, but I'll never forget. Also, pretty sure Vice banned me from commenting because they got triggered and offended, so give this a thumbs up if you even see it.
I DO REMEMBER and I wish I remembered what that video was even about? Without context... sighs...
This is my neighborhood spot. It seems this footage was filmed quite a while ago, because the rear parking lot has been decorated in artwork for the last few months. I’m also fairly certain that the food stand inside has not reopened since COVID, and the alley has also not been open 24 hours a day since after COVID.
As far as the alley itself, this is one of the older bowling alleys still open in New York City. It definitely shows its age, but it has charm. Some of the staff have an outwardly New York-style annoyed attitude, but most are friendly.
As for the “safety” aspect, it’s actually in a very safe neighborhood. But being one of the few bowling alleys left in the area, it sometimes attracts “characters” who drive in and cause trouble. Especially on Friday or Saturday nights. It’s one of the reasons they close now by 1:00 AM. But me and my friends used to bowl here late at night, and sometimes we’d be the only ones. Pretty awesome.
Sadly, the owners sold the land and the property was upzoned to permit a large apartment building to be built there. The alley was rumored to be closing many times over the past few months, but they’re still chugging along. I hope they stick around for a few more months.
I used to hang out here with Ernie McCracken in the late 80s.
What he does with single mothers through the Unified Fund is so inspirational.
He told me to call him "Big Ern", then told me to go get him a Tab.
RAD MAN TAJI IS BACK BABY!!!! Keep Up The Brilliant Work Good Sir!! Hope To See ALOT More Of Your Work!! Stay Safe And Strong Taji!
is this show back?!
Nope they are posting an old video that never made it onto TH-cam.
I was wondering the same I love this show
@@aye3678 bummer
These are the lost tapes, hopefully we'll do something else at some point. I've started a new series on my own channel in the meantime!

Probably old

@@terrytwo He’s now the host of h3h3
finaly.. the man , the myth. the legend makes a comeback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The owner seemed genuine enough.
How do you expect customer service to act with all those cameras?! 😂❤
Mostly they are mad there are cameras rolling. They aren’t typically the young generation who loves to be on camera.
Dudes full of it. You can bring your own birthday cake to any restaurant. Been a server for 15 years. Not sure why anyone would wanna do that at a bowling alley unless your 12
Bro said I think they’re too big, can I go up a size?
Taji Fanclub wub wub
When the decoy was waiting outside with the cake and the music muffled in the background 😂😂😂😂😂 lmao
Let’s go !!!!!
Needed this for so long...!!! I would hate to know how much I rewatched the originals over the years..!
Omg I drove by this place a few weeks ago and thought it looked cool and vintage. I am so glad I saw this.
There's no way the business didn't set up a time when Vice would come over with cameras and that definitely affected the experience.
Your the only reason I watch vice anymore keep letting him make videos 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I know a mob boss when I see one😂
He's gonna throw you a birthday party you can't refuse...
Im so baked that at 10:15 I thought he was holding a watermelon. I now feel ashamed.
It's 420 somewhere.
Good to see Taji back again, I love this series!
So glad to see this series again!!
5:42 Wow that’s some dreadful bowling right there. But they’re having fun!🤣
I thought 1 star reviews was cancelled? glad to know they listen to their viewers
YESSSS THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SERIES EVER I HOPE IT’S BACK!!
I had a bad morning and needwd this im happy he decided to keep it going.
It's a lost episode from 10 years ago
Yay - 1-Star reviews is BACK. Love this series!
I feel like a lot of these are a lil different than a normal experience bc there is a camera.😂
Anyone notice Taji's email say, "after a garage of negative reviews" instead of "barrage"?? 😂😂 I hope this video gets a garage of likes! 😁
Obviously they store all the bad reviews in a garage.
I remember this guy doing reviews before Covid and watched every single one of them! Entertaining and seems to really give everyone a shot… even with a little goofy awkward humor in there… 😆🤣
"Niko! Cousin! Let's go bowling!" type vibes
Taj got the cake.
Actual cake 😂
Glad you guys brought it back!! Taj is the man!!!
Bring this guy back and this series asap
