Georg Complains: Trendy S#!t 

I was always made to feel like an outsider for storing my urine in jars, but after switching to Stanley cups, I'm suddenly part of the in-crowd.

I wish dressing like a wizard and carrying a bag of crystals would become trendy.

You're so right for calling out those shallow commercialists Georg; Us Hiptang connoisseurs are among the elite few that are above such trivial obsessions...

I’ve just used a sheep bladder to carry my drink around in for the past six years. I’d get something a little more modern and less rotted, but that would involve a dangerous cut into my bean budget, and I just can’t afford the risk.

I would choke to death on beans if I gargled them. Thanks for the advice. Will go try it now.

Personally I bought my Stanley Cup for the lead content, I deserve some lead. As a treat.

Late last year I abandoned all of my social media accounts outside of direct messaging and RU-vid. It’s been great for my mental health. But things like this just pass me by. I had a conversation at work where everybody was talking about these darn things and my only response was “wait, like grandads construction thermos? THAT Stanley?” After that conversation I have started noticing these damn things everywhere and I will not be swayed!

"Churnalism", what a fantastic coinage. Warning: this video contains images of Ricky Gervais.

"Sudden, inexplicable spike in bean-choking fatalities"

I personslly prefer to hold my water in my legs and ankles, like a proper middle-aged American.

"How will they know I'm non-conformist without my Non-Conformist uniform??" Distilled that SLC Punk retrospective down to one sentence dang! Nice video 😂

I can’t be the only one who thought that people were suddenly big into hockey

You did the same thing for lava lamps in 2019.

Thank you, I didn't know what to eat tonight.... Beans it is.

My partner got a stanley cup years back, shes been using the same army green one before the hype, and will likely still be using it after...

If you think collecting Stanley Cups is addictive, wait until to have your first puff of crack cocaine.

The guy behind the Stanley cup fad used to work at a sports shoe company (Reebock?) who learned that creating special version of a shoe can make people buy one.

I've been carrying around insulated cups of various brands for 10 years now, and now all of a sudden I'm being associated with trendy bullshit. I've also seen Stanley as a generic sounding camping gear supplier in the Walmart aisle long before then.

I will say this, the old school stanley thermos is good for bringing chicken soup to the job site, also their old school flask is good for bringing, uh chicken soup to the job site.

Criminally underrated channel. But I think he likes it that way. Bit like Stewart Lee...

George, people got very concerned about me last time I started drinking water from a pine-sol bottle while on the treadmill. I don't know that I'm ready to have that conversation with the police again so soon.

Sure, says the CEO of Hiptang.

I've never even heard of a Stanley cup. I thought you were talking soccer or golf lol. Guess I'm too working class

Love the optimism ! Beans for all !

Thanks for bring it back up right at the end to finish on a nice cheery note 😊

"Docker smile"... 🤣 That's going to be the name of my new garage barber shop.

After Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ dropped, I was all-in on the Grunge scene I had the ‘Butt-Cut’ hair, wore flannel’s, and Doc’s even though I lived in suburban Orlando, Florida!!

1:06 damn, that sound effect hit me with some nostalgia.

As a Canadian, I haven't seen a Stanley cup in 31 years

I thought people were talking about the Stanley Cup as in hockey...

I'm suddenly struck with an inexorable yearning for beans.

hadnt heard of these fuckin cups. thanks

Your videos deserve more views. Also, I adore the lighting you use.

Let's do an experiment and make ruffs a thing again, people say fashion repeats 😁

Really enjoying your editing lately Georg

I was so happy when I heard TikTok was crazy about the Stanley Cup. Finally a trend that isn't dumb. Just kids finding out about the great sport of ice hockey.

I bought The Stanley Cup to keep my coffee hot on the way to work. A terrible investment. Not only does it NOT come with a lid so my coffee spills out of its, quite frankly, TINY bowl, but at 37lbs and almost 40" tall, it's totally impractical. Plus it's made from some kind of non-insulated metal alloy. I'd be much better of with one of those little Thermos mug things.

Classic Georg

That 2000s cup looks sick.

Two words: Hip. Tang

I've recycled a glass vodka bottle as my water bottle. It started as a quick convenience, I kept on because of the response.

Things that scream, "I'm unique, in the same way everyone else is."

Yeah, Nathan.

Im also amused that Stanley Cups has LEAD IN IT Imagine paying that much for possible lead poisoning

I thought the Stanley cup was some sort of sports trophy. Yeh, it's NHL...

Love the Kenny Everett leg cross at the start.

Yes!!

“Vanity is the fear of appearing original: it is thus a lack of pride, but not necessarily a lack of originality.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

love your grumpy vibes as always.

splicing in marshall applewhite of heavens gate is SO genius

All I can think about after watching this is that I need to get more hiptang

I just need to know what the trends are before they are trends so that I can invest wisely.

"Be anything, you're a poser." The kind of dark comedic truth I come to this channel for :D

I tip my hat and say, "Beans to you, sir."

I've never been a trend chaser and I never will be, I've always held a disdain for trends.

I've tried to have this discussion a few times recently only to be told about the Stanley cup's life changing insulation.

Big fan of glass cups. Fancy a ceramic mug from time to time.

I have always refused to follow trends as much as possible. People are sheep.

My throat hurts so bad...from all dem BEANSSS

I loved you as Capt. Quin in Barry Lyndon.

Please never change. Unless the prevailing trend is to change.

I'm not a follower of trends or easily swayed by subtle advertising. But you mentioned both beans and cheese in this video and I just wanted to say that my beans on toast with cheese topping was lovely, thank you.

got the sudden urge to buy and gargle a can of beans

Thanks for the beans recommendation

Never heard of these cups

I was eating BEANS while watching this.

Man that lava lamp is huuuge

Georg I love you 😭 im kidding hahah but you have such an eloquence with words, great cideo

the same people who are buying Atanley cups now have a cupboard of abandoned tote bags they were very sure they would use forever but some still have the matching pen inside from that thing they went to

Project farm tested a bunch of drink receptacles, most leaked and had very little different.

I agree we'll be living in our cars in the 30's if we can afford it.

Two beans, one Stanley cup.

That early musical cue sounded a lot like Night Trap.

The Stanley thermos is tight though. Once McDonald's started charging more than a buck for coffee I just started brewing my own. I've probably saved thousands of dollars over the last 5 years and that thing only cost me 32 bucks on Amazon. Yeah... those cups are pointless. If I need a cup I'm buying one from Goodwill.

The "pot filler" trend reminded me of the fake car phone antenna trend. I was imagining people just attaching the pot filler to the wall, since running a water line to the stove is a bit costly.

So insanity is contagious. 🤪

Everyone like the video so Georg starts trending

I just looked up these cups and they're $45! Why would anyone pay that much for a cup?! I still use my old X-MEN: The Last Stand Slurpy cup from 7-Eleven.

I'm not gonna gargle beans, Georg. Edit: Solid George HW Bush Yalie/CIA joke, I lol'd.

I didn't know these cups were popular until I heard people mock their popularity. Becoming out of touch moves along a continuum, you see... I'm still getting accustomed to it.

I admit my peak consumer purchase was when I bought a Nalgene bottle for £30 because it had a nice design. But I don't own any Apple products so...pretty sure it evens out.

4:48 that's so true! Last week, I asked my family to bring me a uniqlo bag that was trendy on tiktok like a year ago from abroad. Because I want to be just like these cool girls from the Western countries who can afford cool trendy things and not be the one earning 300 euros a month

Beans on toast. I’ve been to England four times now and I keep missing the chance to try it. I don’t want to make it here, it won’t be right, so now I have to hatch another idea that gets my job to send me all the f’n way across again…but work less. #Goals

I remember the day that I really learned about 'trendy'. I was in my first year of senior school and my classmate had a tee-shirt with a small crocodile motif stitched onto it. I was the only kid apparently who didn't know what Lacoste was. It didn't make sense to me when it was explained but a year or two later and I simply had to have a HEAD bag and I was soooo chuffed when I got one!

I think the stanley-trend will generalize. Buying multiples of expensive "reusable" products is a great way to either show how green you are, or a way to show how not-green you are. Everyone can participate in unproductive consumption.

cheese and chive dance is well past due a comeback imho!

I've seen yeti as actually being properly overbuilt. I recognize that there are probably other goods built just as well, but I don't love myself enough to find out. I just make peace with buying dollar store garbage items.

I buy all my kitchen sh!t thru the strayan ‘op shops’. It’s secondhand stuff that has survived some other bunts cuff, so it’ll probably withstand my amateur bs. Anyway, since the cheapening, all stuff made when there was competition, innovation and scam culture hadn’t established itself is valuable in its ability to last longer than a tik tok video The enshitenment is upon us, the least of us have all the c@$h and don’t wanna give it up. The greatest revenge is survival beyond your foes wishes. Good vid.

I for one, care that people know I dont care about what they think of me.... Its the only way i can conform to non conformity.

01:06 Is that the mighty band Lodger? I NEED AN ANSWER GEORG!!!

Not to defend this trend, but Stanley thermos products are not something replacable with a 5 dollar alternative. Though the people in this fad could, because they likely will never use one on a work site, or other harsh environment. When I got my first labor job my dad gave me the one he had from the military. I had that thing for 12 years. Then it got ran over by a piece of heavy machinery and it's insulation seal cracked. Bought a couple more and still have them 20 years later. Still look new. They will keep liquids cold, or warm, for more than a day. With ice they can keep your drink cold for several days if left closed.

thanks georg 🍹

It's Georg's optimism that strikes me 😂

I’m old so I’m angry about everything. That aside, we called this kind of thing “ jumping someone else’s train”. It was not a good thing. Maybe I’ve always been old.

Gargling beans right now. I feel accomplished.

Beans on feet. Let's bring it back.

I'm non conformist and that's why I watch this channel.

I’d like to start a trend of RU-vid commentators who wear robes in dimly lit rooms

I didn't buy a Stanley because it is trendy. I bought it because it is the best/only product to hold my Hip-tang™.

I've gargled beans.
