If Amazon Were Honest - Honest Ads (Amazon Parody) 

I trust Horton for everything, including my online shopping, my union busting superstores, and to always tell me the truth

On a serious note, you have no idea how thrilled these honest ads make me. Youre the best, Roger!

God, you nailed that background music for online shop ads. So many ads from shopify to tcgplayer uses that weird clapping rhythm at the beginning it drives me nuts

"Mama gets what mama wants" Why isn't my spy robot this good?

As a programmer, I would rather die than have an Alexa device anywhere near my house

The absurdity of YT having a Walmart "black Friday" ad at the start and closing with Temu... fits.

Bold to imagine the mom and pop shop hasnt just ordered from the same overseas factories and then just marked it up 600%. Spending more doesn't mean you get more ethical.

Roger Horton is a national treasure.

I'd love a "If mom and pop shops were honest"

I love your scathing commentary against Amazon. As one of those formerly exploited peons I cannot overstate how bad it really is in one of those warehouses.

I wish you and Gorge Carlin had worked together. Would have been beautiful. Great work dude. I love it.

The Amazon Location in Grimes, Iowa actually got banned from two of my town's gas stations for ditching their piss bottles in the trash causing a bio-hazard for the gas-station workers. When the news picked it up Amazon threw their own contractor company under the bus even though amazon was forcing their contracted drivers into the mess in the first place.

He just described globalization in a semi-comic way over just a few minutes. Impressive.

This video was followed by an ad for a toy that can only be purchased online. It keeps becoming harder not to buy online when stores keep closing, including bookstores, stationary stores, electronic stores, housewares stores, hardware stores, appliance stores, etc. The stores that still exist (like department stores, drugstores, grocery stores) often encourage us to purchase online instead of in the stores. It's interesting that some cities discourage people from getting bags by having a bag tax, while people can instead order the same thing online and have it come in a large cardboard box with packing materials and large address label stickers that make parts of the box un-recyclable.

Watching this while on my break from delivering Amazon packages! let's go! 🎉😂

3:15 that Captain Planet Villain reference: that had me laughing 🤣🤣.

"A Captain Planet Villain cream his jeans" classic Roger!!!😂😂😂

Nothing like Christmas morning watching our kids play with the toys little hands made while dreaming of playing with them one day themselves.

Great, now my chronic pain from working at Amazon for two years is feeling more painful than usual. Thanks, Roger - no, really, thanks, for I must never allow myself to forget the pain and horrors of that nightmarish employment.

The really funny thing is the number of people who wouldn't want anyone eavesdropping on them, but then go out and buy a 'smart' device that will do exactly that, and records everything to the internet.

These adds are both sad and hilarious. And the acting is great....

As someone who works in an Amazon warehouse, this was a must-watch!

Only one part is missing: the fact the items are usually counterfeit, stolen, or in the case of intellectual property, pirated through copyright infringement. Online retail platforms are frequently pirate bays where counterfeit or stolen merchandise gets passed off as arbitrage.

RogLexa?!? You're _stealing my data_ ??? *Curse your sudden but inevitable BETRAYAL* !!! 😂😂😂

As someone who worked at Amazon for nearly five years* this is so incredibly accurate that it hurts. Especially about the warehouse workers--Jeff Bezos literally wanted to make Amazon a hellish place to work so that most people would just leave after a couple of years and they'd leave for something better. And looking back on it, it makes me scared how overseas Amazon employees are treated. Not to mention how Amazon is also big on Greenwashing despite their claims. Though... consider things like the Great Resignation, Amazon getting sued by both the FTD and numerous other businesses, and of course groups like Honest Ads, maybe karma/change is finally starting to come their way. :) *Note: For anyone who is interested, I left June of this year and while my new job isn't quite what I want, it's definitely much better and I think it'll give me a chance to pursue things I actually want to do, especially since I have a college education.

All accurate except here’s the REAL ending: “You’re stealing my data? Meh, I don’t care.”

"No one knows what Gen-X is up to" And that's the way we like it!

Gen X...well who knows what they've been up to 😅 Hit me right in the feels

You forgot to mention the totally legit and definitely not payed for 5 star reviews on every product. Not only is the service itself horrible, but it’s hard to even tell what items are even of decent quality.

Jeff needs people to piss in bottles, so he can buy a new city etc.

Ah yes, Amazon, the comporation people complain about yet nearly all of them use.

Calling it. Irina's gonna be the next big thing. Her comedic cadence is FLAWLESS.

Brilliant! Well done on this one! Every time I see someone return something to Amazon, I die a lil inside... It doesn't go back onto a store shelf, it doesn't get resold, it goes straight into the trash heap because that's the cheapest way to get rid of it...

Me during the video: 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Me at the end of the video: 😶😶😶😶😶

Not to mention that sites sometimes scam their customers by not delivering anything

I get what I need based on not having to search 10 stores before finding out no one carries the item I'm looking for. Also I don't own Alexa because DUH of course it's spyware.

These need to be made into commercials on TV.

She did a great job on acting. The best he ever had on his shows.

Yep, every day there are roll off going into our landfill of merch that is good and reusable.

Amazon also gets away with fraud as their sellers bribe consumers for 5 star reviews. Not to mention their products are knockoffs. Hence why you see 10 of the same products with 10 different brand names. Don't bother ordering brand name stuff from them.. it's all fake. Never read 5 star reviews, always read the 1 stars. I love these vids! They're fantastic 😆

This could not be more accurate. And it confirms I made the correct decision to boycott them at all costs. Most people don’t seem to understand. I’m glad Roger does.

So I've been watching these videos for years now and while they are quite compelling, I think they gain a lot more traction with sources cited.

I love your honest ads, I swear you NEVER MISS!!!! Even with all of the honesty in the ads, it is entertaining and 100% accurate and the masses will never pay attention to what has already happened...😂😂😂

As true as this is, lots of people live in areas where local shopping opportunities are very sparse. Do you order online or drive an hour each way to get to some specialty store? Because that's much more gas you buy & burn up, much more wear & tear on your car. Oh and Amazon probably sells the thing cheaper. Many Americans can barely afford to support mom & pop stores either. Thrift stores are also dying off due to a lack of variety, because most of them I go into are 60% clothing items & the rest is stuff people "donated", which is to say they were going to throw it in the trash but chose instead to give it to a shop to show the world they're a "good person", after which a lot of it won't even sell because 99% of the shoppers there donated the same things. Oh and overseas shopping sites. Do I buy some OFFICIALLY LICENSED product at a massive price tag or do I buy some knockoff that's a third the price, but somehow better quality? At the expense of a 2 to 3 week transit time & a giant headache to fix if it arrives broken. The video also fails to mention that Amazon has been known to ban accounts for "too many" returns, but never states what that percentage of returned items is, with it almost being dependent on the account rather than a set percentage. So yeah return your stuff, until it makes them mad. Banned accounts also lose gift cards and points and stuff like that with no compensation. Now do a video on how Paypal will freeze your account if you receive a lot of money at once.

Thank you, Roger, and thank you for changing your Side kick much better

"You're stealing my data?" It's not stealing when you give it away freely.

I don't think people know just how honest this parody is. My household isn't allowed to use Amazon.

You had me at Captain Planet villain creaming his jeans.🤗

You had me at the name of the company! Man every time I heard that I had to pause I was laughing so hard.

just can't get enough of honest ads

“I’d say it’s time to put those last remaining handful of glaciers on hospice”...🤣LMAO but true 😕

Lol "you already sacrifice so much for your family, shouldn't everyone else?" Got em! The one killed me. XD

The tone of these is always on point. 👌

Roger is the best, i love this channel so bad. They Are Amazing! Keep Going Guys. This is some AAA Quality stuff

Long live Roger and team 🤗

Perfect and surreal quality as always

Love it, the only thing is Alexa needs to sound more like the Daleks. Excellent work as always.

Irina is great in this one. Hilarious delivery and works great reacting to Roger. Good vid for sure.

Roger forgot to mention who amazon strong arm sellers on it platform. And if you don't pay the near extortion fees they will bury you in the algorithm

I gotta say, this series is very good! It's down to earth, funny, the whole package. I hope to see more from Rodger!

this depressed momma feels called tf out😂😭

The only bad thing about this video is how true it is.

There has to be a way to run an online store/shipping business ethically. Obviously most people could go to the store but being able to get one’s stuff delivered is great for the disabled.

Imported bullshit? that's too high of a compliment, I thought it was the counterfeit imporium 😆

Now do IF MECHANICS WERE HONEST!

When I go local stores and they make me ring up $200 in merchandise in the self checkout, while employees hang out and no one wants to run a register, then I'm happy to let Amazon Prime ship it to my door for free. Self checkout was the biggest F U to ever hapoen to shopping.

Roger speaks the truth again, thanks Roger

I just love the pun how everyone is getting rogered

roger saying tradwife made me think i was dreaming for a second

It never gets old, love your work ❤

Don’t forget the part where half the comments for a given product claim it’s a poorly made knockoff (whether it actually is or not). 😂

That first line had me crying.

This is both amazing because it's hilarious and true, yet, very depressing because of how true it is

so happy these come out so fast

Again, this should be aired 24 hours a day on national television. People are so stupid. Thank you Rodger.

finally got a "mua ha ha ha ha" from rog

Holy shit, i finally was the first viewer!! This is the best day of my life

They forgot the part about where you have to drive to 3 different brick and mortars who claim they have the thing you need only to find out none of them do and order it online anyway.

The way she folds the dress so neatly and in one motion is so satisfying to me

Thank you for your service. I just want to add that every single new video you post pops up in my feed, but channels I subscribe to seem to disappear after a while. That's part of the reason I haven't subscribed to you yet. All hail the algorithm and our monetization overlords. Kind regards from Iceland.

As someone who used to work in digital marketing, you have no idea the insane amount of data these online stores (and social media) gather. Hell, even local brick and mortar retailers have enough data on everyone to predict how likely you are to break up with your partner, miss a birthday, become pregnant in a frighteningly accurate amount of time, identify when you're going to start looking for a new job, and so much more. Anyone who does this work for longer than a year has no conscience or soul.

the whole video is ok but the conclusion about data collection and ai is the cherry on the cake

Awesome as always ❤ On a serious note: Are there any studies out there showing that the logistical side of online shopping is actually worse than individual traffic for downtown shopping trips? Since over here in Europe there‘s actual labor protection laws those „peeing in a bottle“ Stories do not concern me as much…

That digital assistant's voice kills me and these are always so tastefully offensive lol. Thank you, Roger!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are my bespoke pants hangers coming today or not?

Don't forget about them selling 3rd party fake items, like seeds to grow "blue strawberries", which don't exist and are a complete scam.

Dang! They got demonetized within the first five seconds 😂 Couldn't wait for that 30 second bit.

I thought this channel stopped uploading. Im glad to see they are back

Temu ad right after this video? Good job RU-vid, very fitting!

This reads like an ad from old school GTA, and I love it.

Gen X fought a 20yr war with their hands tied, just to see it all given back. And the next 2 generations shit the bed while we were gone.

Looks like Gill found himself a new gig.

Pause please. I need to get my Amazon delivery from my front porch. 😮😂

I love the tiny bit of Adeptus Mechanicus music in the background at the end. Really sells it.

Gen X has never been happier to be off the radar. 🌚

The only unrealistic part was the tradwife giving even a moments thought to the data collection.

As a proud member of Gen X, we're just chuckling at Boomers and Millennials duking it out.

Woh broo !! mad respect to you. you really make good videos i just saw a 14 year old (maybe) video of yours "honest wedding" and it was so good and after all this time you are still making quality content, your face is also changed but good work gramps i really become a fan ....

After I got my car, I basically stopped ordering things on Amazon. I also started taking the bus to work again.

OK, I'm convinced! No more Amazon! Though it's a 16-mile ride, more expensive, I'll really miss the affordable electronics, and I hate those scooters, I'm doing the responsible thing and shopping my (sort of) local Wal-Mart from now on!
