Ads That LIE To Us 

They tried that balance band crap on me at the mall once. They didn't know I'm a Nurse. We are taught points of balance to safely transfer patients. I turned the tables on them in front of a crowd and gave a demo myself. Needless to say they weren't there the next day.😂😂😂😂

It's honestly shocking and extremely disappointing that companies are able to get away with this crap. If I do any of this as a private citizen, then I'm going to jail for fraud. But do it through a corporation and it's just called being a savvy business man. Now that's some shit.

A girl I went to school with has done modeling ads for Levi's, and right after that a company asked to hire her for their weight loss supplement. She is maybe 110 pounds soaking wet. They said they didn't want her to ACTUALLY use the product, just claim she lost weight from it. She said no.

The thing that really gets me is when mobile game ads deliberately show the wrong choices being made to possibly annoy people into thinking they could do better.

Mr. Crabs as Facebook saying "hello! I like money!" Was funnier than it should have been!

The key phrase in any BS sales pitch is "What if I told you." If you hear it, move on.

I literally uninstalled all my Homescapes games when they started playing those stupid ads. Haven't even thought about reinstalling any of them.

It always amazes me how few people have made use of the sold adage of “if it sounds too good to be true it probably is”. I’ve gotten a lot of mileage from that old saying over the years and likely been spared a lot of grief.

Advertisements have always be based on a lie, you can trace that back all the way when people where told that radium had health benefits

The blackhead remover cream is advertised on RU-vid all the time. I must have seen it a thousand times

I'm 62. I remember there being a law against false advertising, and I remember hearing that it was later abolished, allowing these completely bogus ads

Back in the 1980s, I did some modeling for a famous hair brand. What I found most confusing/disturbing was that the stylists used all sorts of products, not necessarily from the brand advertised. For example, they did a treatment on my hair that made it SUPER soft and shiny, but only for about a week. Worked great for the photos. But if anyone saw my pictures, would they assume the only products used were that brand? I think so. And refused any more work from the agency that booked me.

I really love this. It's important to show kids the truth now days. I'm going to show this to a little girl who believes everything on the internet.

Green Stick.... totally chia seeds added to look like some miraculous extractions. James Welsh also debunked that saying pretty much the same thing.

I actually witnessed one of these infomercials being filmed. It was for that weight loss body patch and I got to see everything they were lying about and nobody believed me.

There was an ad two years ago for a Christmas tree that comes quite flat and you push’s remote and the tree rises up to 6’ tall and the branches spread evenly around the tree. It came with lights and a little train that went around the tree. I was so impressed I bought one for my daughter for Christmas as their tree was done and told her she could open it before Christmas so they could display it. What I got was a small bag that just had af few branches in it… enough to make a very bare 5 inch tree. There was a small pkg. of LED lights ( 10 lights on it) and a few time decorations you can get in the dollar store. It’s a good thing we have a sense of humour and just burst out laughing at what I got but I paid $99.00 for something that immediately went in the garbage. I wrote them but of course never heard a word back. I have ordered bras for the mature woman it 1 get two free and only 1 bra came and I swear it was so tiny it didn’t even fit my ten year old granddaughter. It ended up being another lesson learned and more money down the drain.

The “Wish” one had me in tears I was laughing so hard .. the blanket. I can’t breathe 😂😂😂

You know what takes the humor here to the final level for me? The ads that are coming on periodically during this video for me! XD

Ah, yes. The infamous Ads. The ones that pop up left and right, in front of your face and make you CRINGE DOWN TO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL by basically saying u can't do anything without them

13:14 the pool in the ad is very obviously smaller, because if you look closely at the children in the ad, they don’t give off shadows on the pool, meaning they were photoshopped in

That mafia city game actually got me, it was the first time I thought I’d try a mobile game only to realize it’s that piece of shit so I deleted it instantly.

I was laughing so hard that I almost fell off my chair when those bands section came. The most amazing part is that Hologram and Wave Technology.

The thing that gets me about the Homescape ads is that it wouldn't be THAT hard to make the game in the ads, compared to the game they already make.

My favorite part about the teeth strip is that they chose to make the gums look inflamed by using bright red instead of a healthy pink.

I don't know what's worse. That those powerbands were made and they thought it was a good idea or that people actually bought it

I was watching a product review done by a regular husband and wife duo on the "blackhead remover". Was very funny as they pulled a bit of a prank by stopping the video and going to the kitchen to sprinkle some dark fennel seeds on their faces. Ofc, they laughed and revealed the hoax they had pulled. Everyone had a great laugh and that was that. About a month later that ad popped up and as it showed random people using the product...and low and behold one of the pop up "satisfied customers" pictures were literally the SAME couple that had debunked the product 😄 😆 😀 🤣...that's down right sneaky!

lol i remember power balance bracelets. they were all the rage when i was in middle school. i remember every guy was wearing one and it was honestly just for aesthetics.

my grandma once ordered a bread maker from wish... what she got was a PLASTIC RING.

One of the most egregious examples I’ve seen is an ad that still plays on RU-vid to this day of what USED to be advertised as an LED tooth whitening device, now literally advertised as a SUBSTITUTE for brushing your teeth. Complete with an entirely fake testimonial from a “dentist” in a text-to-speech voice. I reported this ad every single time I saw it, even including a link to the original teeth whitening product, and they’ve ignored it every single time. Anybody that was involved in creating the ad should be in jail, and whoever is reviewing these ads/reports needs to be fired. This is insanity.

The Homescapes ad Is still going on in my country along with other very similar ones. What has our world become? By the way the video was great please do more to help others who might fall prey! Ps: thx for all the likes this is the most I’ve ever gotten!

I once ordered a big, fluffy pillow that was blue. When I got it, it was as small as a couch pillow, and it was brown. Also, it felt like an ordinary pillow. This is why I resulted to cushions.

I ordered from Wish and got a few pretty decent items. Then the prices started going up and the quality was still horrible. I finally learned my lesson when I ordered a $30 pair of shoes that were originally $110. I waited for 6 months and never got a thing. I finally did get them to return my $30 almost 8 months later and after a lot of aggravating the company. I deleted the app and will never be stupid enough to fall for such bs again.

I always love how commercials say "4 out of 5" or "9 out of 10" or "99.9%" and even Amazon with all their products having exactly a 4.5 star rating. Talk about lies. Let's be honest. I would love to see an ad that says "well, you know 7 out 10 ain't bad either."

2:39 Anyone else notice the scary looking lady in the background? Lol totally freaked me out haha 😅

Lol I love Bunny with the fake teeth-she's hilarious lol

when i saw feng shui i was like "doesn't that mean wind water?"

"You see the braslet is so powerful you can't point directly at it" 😂😂😂😂😂 OH MY GOD DUDE YOU'RE THE BEST OF THE BEST, the (BE AMAZED) channel is lucky & made the right choice by having you as the narrator sir

I love that the ads RU-vid showed me while watching this were some of the ads that he talked about in this video (scammer one)

I actually won a gold metal (in game in HomeScapes during 2019) for having the team/group with the most points or something like that in the ENTIRE game during an event. I also remember GardenScapes, the first game by the company that features Austin, the Butler and some cutscenes. The ads aren’t technically wrong in either, because there are scenes like that but with more graphics and less bright colors. So basically, you fix certain places up, such as the water fountain (probably GardenScapes) or the attic or something (probably HomeScapes) and you see Austin there doing his daily routine, and you can tap him to make him do stuff. That’s only for when you run out of whatever the thing was called (I think it was energy or stamina) that made it so whenever you tried a level and failed, you would lose some. Once you hit 0, you couldn’t do anything anymore until you got more energy/stamina. There were cutscenes, too, but it was a picture of them with a bar of text beneath it, and they would be “talking” and stuff. One of the games that are similar to this is Merge Mansion, where it also features a character renovating their grandparents house (like HomeScapes, just with the main character being female, the grandma actually showing up more than once every 80 something levels and only staying for a few levels, the grandparents don’t help and it doesn’t feature any event things).

0:10 caught me so off guard 💀💀💀 I'm screaming

I loved that the very ads being exposed were popping up to pay for viewing the video.

the “homescape” game back then used to have ads based upon the game itself, and I know this since I used to see them in the past. sorta disappointing to see them stoop this low

1:04 that was really funny ngl, be amazed is now one of those “horrible ad viewers”

Thanks for this information it’s very agonizing to know that those ads were fake, and took away so much time away from a bunch of people, and myself.

Well, YT does do at least some good in revealing the fakes. I'm glad. I was looking at those rugs from Wish. I figured they *were* going to be a lesser quality if I did get one but not a blatant lie. Thankfully, I didn't want to purchase something like that without knowing - and now I do.

8:40 the pedals aren’t even moving XD

that random old lady part kept me laughing

I’m stuck at Home at the moment in a Caring role as my Disabled Son is very poorly with Sepsis & I’ve just had to put my dog to sleep, she was my absolute everything. I discovered your channel recently as I was unable to Sleep & now I really look forward to your Video’s every evening & I just wanted to say Thank you Callum. Whilst things have been hard you have single-handedly brightened my Day.

Those balance bracelet just bring back memories how many friend of mine using those back in the day and i never got one and now i feel relieve after watching this

There needs to be an agency that calls them out for their lies and have their product destroyed.

I still see those Home app adverts here on RU-vid and other social media…so much for being BANNED

1:03 i couldn't stop laughing 🤣

3:25 Wow, I got one of those back in the day in Chuck E Cheese. I didn’t know what it was, and it looked cool so I got it. It certainly didn’t help me in any way besides being bombarded with questions on what it was. I remember taking the holographic paper out and cutting it easily. I still have it to this day 😆😆

I used to watch this channel a few years ago, now I've come back I'm so impressed with the improvement in the production of these videos!! Keep it up 😄

Those mobile game ads really irritate me. Half of them aren't actual game play and the other half, the player is going like "Dur...I don't know what I'm doing? Can you help me?" or "Can you do better than me?" Those ads are an instant skip for me

The AirPods one made me L O L 😂

Most of these products still have ads that play on RU-vid even though they edit, de-platform, and delete any content that they say is "misinformation." Just like the ad that played before this video.

Been buying from wish a while, and sure, if you buy clothing it's a 50/50 toss up but most stuff is just a cheap version of an expensive local item and works just fine. Take fishing lures for example, you get like 20 for $13, wait a month, but they look and perform the same as local $10/lure alternatives.

Honestly,wish should make a badge of "not deceiving" and slap it on next to the names of products that don't have a trace of deception,and push them more to the top *and filter out all the ones that don't have the badge (in the category named "no false advertising")* I think.

Whenever he said the bracelet is so powerful you can't even Point I busted out laughing for 18 minutes😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Who’s ever ad ran on this story is probably pissed

ordering airpods and then getting shower heads, dang that's a troll 🤣🤣🤣

I can understand a little with the UV lighting to try to turn teeth white, mainly because of seeing it on restoration channels of them using blue lights, a specific liquid, and leaving, (an example of a ps1 cover that was yellow being one), going back to the light gray it once was. Looking up of restoring a ps1 on the site will show the one I mention.

That's how Wish got its name. Customer: "Will I get what I actually ordered?" Wish: "You wish..."

Both my husband and myself got really excited about the green stick. That was until I found out it was total BS. You've got to admit that if it did work it'd help so many people with bad skin.

This is more like roasting the crap outta stuff!

Thank you so much for all the great reveals! Those sneaky people can't get passed you!

For the Homescapes one - they do have pull the pins mini games after some levels.

21:19 DAMNNN didn't know that Fevicol is a beauty product 🔥🔥🔥

I admit the Green Stick Facial Ad almost had me. For awhile I looked and asked at many retailers then I heard from others it was all a clever Ad scam debunked.

The ones that upset me most are related to the brain, especially the ones that manipulate on a psychological level. I hate how these advertisements have made me feel like I'm lucky for having grown up before I even hit my teen years.

the people who make tiny products "oh, but we didn't say they were for the non-shrunk population"

It just proves that if it sounds too good to be true then it is.

May wanna add that Playrix added those “mini games” after a crazy level of complaints!

homescapes: king of the fake ads 6:40

Well they marketed stickers to people saying it would improve their daily aura and some such nonsense so the bracelet thing isn't the first time they tried to fool people.

“There’s a sucker born every minute” P.T. Barnum

P T. Barnum said it best, "No man ever went broke overestimating the ignorance of the American public."

I was at a convention where people were selling irenew wrist bands. One guy talked about how Texas got upset by a weaker team bc the weaker team wore their wrist bands. It sounded like bulls**t then and it only got worse if you peeled back the onion.

There’s also other ads that lie to us *those mobile game ads that always say “I cAnT rEaCh pInK cOloR“*

make more ''Ads That LIE To Us'' please because this video is amazing! thank you!

To be 100% honest when I first saw the green mask one I actually thought it worked and then I did a Google search on the mask found some videos watched them and realized within 5 minutes of the video that it was completely fake. :( i’m really glad that there are RU-vid videos of people trying these products so we don’t get scammed

About the bracelets. I think the reason people are taken in by claims by the company is a adrenaline boost from motivation.

0:23 on the top right i literally just completed that level of Homescapes, no joke it's a real level

Like Styx once said "Welcome to the Grand Illusions. Sit right down and get your tickets for the show. Don't be fooled by the radio, TV or Magazines. It's all just a Grand Illusion and deep inside we are all the same".

The RU-vid ads I'm seeing during this video also belong in this video. Lying in advertising is out of control these days!

im cracking up 'the bracelate is so powerful u cant even point directly at it' lol

Just to throw this out there. The biggest sinner of false mobile ads now is Hero Wars.

I played homescapes before and they only add the latter mini-games when they were being called out. Back then it doesn't have that. You only have to update the house design and play like candy crush. That's it. They added the mini-games later on maybe because people kept bugging them for it lol.

FINALLY, A WORTHY VIDEO

Once i actually fell for the homescapes ad, it was completely different from what the ad showed

"How many Dad jokes do you want in this video Be Amazed: Yes

I looked at 6:10 and was overjoyed that someone finally confronts this bs

15:12 Lmao I can imagine the menacing laugh of that seller😂

if i may add, in the misleading ads there's also another one, "Hero Wars", where the ads are purely on climbing tower of enemies with corresponding numbers in their head to save a lady haha

All ads lie to us, my dad always said, the only things advertised are those not selling.

The only thing preventing advertisers from lying to you is pretty draconian regulation. Ads presented across borders with limited inter-jurisdictional cooperation can safely assumed to constitute a scam and can be safely ignored.

"I was literally Dying when I saw that the person that ordered white ear pods had done it only to Receive two white Shower heads that looked just Like the ear pods. Lmfao! Oh God that was so Hilarious that I just couldn't stop Laughing about it" oh god good laughs though 😂

1:05 Lmfaoo. The voiceover guy is savage 😂🫶🏼.

Mobile game ads calling other ads out for being fake: *laughing in irony* Other mobile game ads doing the same thing but on them: Well, that guy seems farmiliar.
