Dude? 7:55 do you want to get chased around by a man eating something or other? cuz that is how you get chased around by a man eating something or other.
I wouldn't have got past the bellend-ness to have noticed the Hitler resemblance if you hadn't told me... The useless bell is disappointing... Most people use electric kettles in the UK... Mine looks like Charles Manson.
Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that causes people to see patterns in a random stimulus. This often leads to people assigning human characteristics to objects.
I own one of those. Kinda wish I'd sold it for hundreds of dollars. On the one hand, it doesn't really look very Hitler-ish to me. On the other hand, it is a kind of lousy teapot.
@@justinrojas3289 Disagree, these people are being babies but the Mcdonalds thing really needs to be set straight. Mcdonalds did a big push to for public opinion to make that lawsuit look silly, in reality, a coffee should NEVER be hot enough to cause a 3rd degree burn. That is why Mcdonalds lost the lawsuit. She wasn't suing because she got burned, she was horribly injured by it and to this day people think it was a frivolous case because Mcdonalds pushed that narrative.
It’s an awfully long stretch to say that teakettle looks like Hitler. I admit I can see it if I try hard, though. I have a similar teakettle that I bought long ago at Target, but it looks even less like Adolf Hitler. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that most of J.C. Penney’s problems were unrelated to the teakettle.
This reminds me of way back when people freaked out over the nonexistent satanic symbols in the Procter and Gamble logo. That was right around when the same sort of people started freaking out over nonexistent satanic pedophile preschools. Give some people an opening to think the worst of their neighbors, and they just go orgasmic over the opportunity to wallow in their own ugly.
I didn't know proctor and gamble is a satanic cult. Makes sense. Their laundry detergent always did make my clothes suspiciously clean... All the satanic panic hysteria is really fascinating. I have an episode on it in this playlist. It was so long ago and yet I've gotten quite a few comments from people who still have suspicions.
@@WeirdExplorer Not surprising that you're still getting comments. These panics seemed to cycle every few decades, but got faster with the advent of social media--broader but shallower, with more people participating, but a shorter duration overall, and perhaps fewer lives actually destroyed. Maybe the life of these hysterias is shortening because people get bored faster now; burned out, desensitized, and eager to move on to the next big shot of adrenaline from fresh boogeymen. Poor, poor QAnon--it's just so hard to hold on to people's attention these days!
@@WeirdExplorer I'm sorry, that wasn't very clear, and I cowpathed--I meant to indicate that you might still be getting comments because each new hysteria reminds people of the old ones, and uses parts of them as foundational building blocks. Must be quite the time-saver.
@@WeirdExplorer LOL Just imagine that process: "Let's see--what about kicking it up a notch with cannibalism? There was a little of that introduced in the '80s panic, but it was just too bizarre, and nobody really bought it." "Yeah, but people have seen a lot of stuff about Dahmer and Sagawa and Chikatilo since then. Maybe they're ripe for it." "You're right--even that reptilian overlord thing finds an audience now. Let's just throw everything out there, see what sticks, and double down when anyone takes issue with it. After all, that's what works for Trump."
The power of the internet to troll people. It could of been anybody from a social justice warriors being serious to 4chan, or 4chan trolling social justice warriors.
I've got the little mermaid VHS tape with the phallic looking castle somewhere around my apartment. I don't bother collecting stuff if the nastiness is something that is hidden in a movie or game because there are thousands of those.
Okay look if that's the case I have a ton of hitler products and jesus products, hell I have a pumpkin that looks like Morton downy JR, what the hell is that supposed to mean? Humanity was a mistake.
"Shut up, Pat" I can kinda see the resemblance. I don't think it was intentional. A teapot is a pretty strange thing to have a billboard for, nonetheless.
Paradolia-when you see am image in something in something else. I use to see Paul McCartney in my curtains in the 70s. I probably shouldn't admit that but I was a teenager besotted with Paul.
Out of all the problems this country has people decide to be outraged about a tea kettle that KIND OF looks like hitler if you look hard enough from a certain angle, people just want to be outraged just for the sake of being outraged at this point.
I saw Hitler in it immediately...but there was never a doubt in my mind that it was unintentional. As for the bell not ringing, I would bet that boiling a vinegar solution and letting it steam for a bit would make it ring again...such a loose connection could easily get seized with lime scale or rust...and even a tiny amount of it would probably cause enough impedance to stop it from ringing.
woooow, i don't remember this at all, how's that for oblivious. i like how you spilled the tea on this non-belling kettle 🤣 also i can only vaguely see the resemblance. fun fact, i share a birthday with hitler 😭
At first I ignored this video, then I realized it was your video. Thanks, funny. The tea pot was obvious, but how do you find these weird little things?
Not from the USA, or from any country that was directly involved or affected from any of the world wars, but i gotta say, what harm does a simple kettle with an unintentional resemblance to Hitler do, that everyone gets so worked up about it.... I don't understand..
That was really entertaining! Hope you do more of these and almost look forward to reading the comments here... You've got a pretty good crowd usually, so hopefully there is a limited number of idiots who totally missed the point!
I was waiting for you to show me an engraved sketch of Adolph . People really need to relax. I actually think it is a beautiful tea pot. As an artist myself I can tell you stare at something long enough it will look like anything you want. Remember the Jesus potato chips?
Oh WOW. People are just utterly ridiculous. Just.......it's sad and frankly crazy people are. I think it is quite a lovely tea kettle. I love the size, the shape of the spout and the little bell is sooooooo cute.
this is a well known Mandela effect as the title of says JCPENNY now it,s JCPENNEY threw out the video the images show the extra E . i only remember with one e, my sister name is penny and she now spells it with 2 e,s even thou in our family bible it is hand written with one E. and the is also the shape of the bell on the teakettle reminds me of the bell. there was a program in world war 2 called the nazi bell /die Glocke it was claimed to be a ufo / time machine secret technology , there,s always so much more to the story.
I'm really confused because I'm remembering Jcpenney being spelled both ways. I'm also remembering hearing about Mandela both dying in prison in the 80's and being released in the 90's simultaneously. Now the Berenstein Bears have always been BerenstEIn Bears and you cannot dissuade me. I don't think I crossed dimensions correctly.
Interesting! I would have never noticed wthout being told what to see. It took me some time looking the thumbnail to see the head and didn't think of the "arm" until it was mentioned in the video. Please, do more things like this! I remember reading of that can at the end somewhere... (Snopes?)
It doesn't look like Hitler. Throw together some suggestive reasoning, mass hysteria and cobble in a good amount of gullibility and you get a marketing nightmare. If the knob was rectangular, then I would say maybe. But people are certainly reaching. Personally I think the kettle is pretty cool looking.
I saw it from the thumbnail, but the thing is that if we continue to treat that as a taboo, we're never going to move on. Staying stuck in the past is what's keeping us from becoming better every day.
It also vaguely looks like a German WW2 steel military helmet. That makes it a bit suspicious, but it’s the designer, not JCP, that I would be suspicious about. It seems like the bell has lost its clapper.
The company that I worked for, for many years, top client was J. C. Penney. They certainly wouldn't sell a product, that they thought would piss people off. I think, people need to stop LOOKING for things to be offended by. Plus, if it had truly been meant to resemble Hitler, they would've made the round bit on the lid, square-shaped like Hitler's mustache. Lol
That looks like a super ergonomic tea pot. The handle is nice and curved, easy to hold. The lid is a circle so it would be easy to heal by someone with arthritis or other fine motor control impairments.
@@k8eekatt ah yea... Dunno why I couldn't make it out, I re watched it 3 times and could see he was zooming in that spot but it looked like a bunch of random lines with some brown instead of green like the back ground ... I see it clear as day now... They look like rat terrier or something like that... Actually 1 on top is much smaller... So now I imagine whoever us the subject of the art must have had a beloved bitch dog ... And so while the subject us sitting to a lovely prim and proper tea time her bitch is off in the bushes taking it from some little dirt ball flea bag street dog :)
That's crazy. Even when I blur my eyes, I don't see Hitler. Kind of like looking for shapes in the clouds but Hitler seemed to have a clown nose when the images was superimposed ... at most, I saw a clown. Frankly, I love the idea of the bell and, if it worked, would get one of my own. 👍
That's why I thought it was going to be linked to criticism. Re: helmet triggers: On my son's last Halloween trick or treat night, we took him and his friend out for the evening so we could supervise. His friend wore a costume called "clashing armies". He made it himself out of a bunch of mismatched army costumes. He wore a Chinese Communist army helmet along with other things. When they rang the bell of an Asian neighbor, the guy flipped out and started screaming and chased them to the car, opened my car door to scream at me, and chased us down the road. I had ensured these Lads were polite all evening and they were trick or treating in good fun I think it was the helmet that triggered him. I did a u-turn at the end of the road to go back out of the cul-de-sac and dude was standing in the road with his arms crossed like he was going to jump in front of my car. It was pretty scary. I called the non-emergency Sheriff number and he asked, "Does he have pumpkins outside? Are his lights on? Does he have decorations?" All were yes yes yes, so he understood what Halloween was. The sheriff said he would go by and check on the dude and see what was going on. 😜
Oh geez... yeah maybe the neighbor thought the kid was trying to get a rise out of him. Can't be too careful when you wear something and not fully understand the meaning it might have for other people. When I was in Malaysia I saw a kid, maybe 8 years old, walking with his mom, he was wearing a nazi flag on his shirt. I doubt he understood what it meant.
@@WeirdExplorer I also wondered if other pranksters had been harassing him earlier. He was shouting, "this is a nice neighborhood we don't do that here!" And I am certain the boys I was taking T orT were Definately being polite.
The teapot / tea kettle does NOT make tea. It simply heats and boils water. YOU, then, make the tea. Unless you add the tea to the water in the pot. Then I guess....
It takes quite a bit of imagination. I didn't see Hitler in that teapot. But okay if you say so. We got enough little baby hitlers running around here at the moment, so how much damage can one more do? Asking for a friend.
As a Jew, it's a little bit too familiar but I also understand how unintentional it probably was. Shouldn't have been put up in the first place but also should have been less of an intense reaction
Ich bin ein littel Tee Pott, schort und schtout, Hier ist mein Händle, heir ist mein Schpout. Wenn I get all schteamed up, hier me schaut, “Dschüst tipp me ofer und pour me aut!”
Wow....This is what over sensitivity looks like. I think the Politically Correct police spend WAY too much time overthinking things that were NOT intended to be offensive.
You American's are strange. Just use an electric kettle that switches off by it's self when it boils. No bells or whistles needed. BTW my electric kettle looks like Heinrich Himmler, but nothing came of it.
