A festive treat constructed by Dan NerdCubed and Rebecca! Horrors lurking inside include LOL Surprise, Tsum Tsums and... other things. Allegedly edible things.
Lia Defendi in england we expect clogs to fit, and to fit well. I still remember my grandfather telling me, "There is nothing like a well fitted clog sonny, never trust a baby in ill fitted clogs"
I am a tree hugger, unapologetically, I still collect figures and little toys, occasionally in blind bags, like lego minifigs. The lol dolls? I hate them with a huge passionate hate.
My mother got my niece a giant LOL toy thing that probably weighed like 2 or 3 kilograms in a semicircle that has like 100 little bits of tat in it. It cost nearly $120 Canadian, I fear for the future.
I think that's the normal path for these sort of blind bag plastic figures, first their at all the big stores, then everyone realises how stupid they are, and then the company who makes them sells the left over stock to Poundland.
Fuck those LOL Surprise things, seriously. I can accept people liking them and collecting them, but just the sheer amount of unrecyclable plastic that's in a single one of those is horrendous, we're already polluting the planet way too much as it is, and now people are paying hundreds upon thousands of dollars to basically do that?! Seriously, if it weren't for the appalling amount of waste a single one (let a lot a set of 3, yes I looked it up, you can get a tube of 3, or a box of fuck 6 and there are limited edition gigantic ones ffs) of these things creates. Even Funko Pops don't really bother me, I'm pretty impartial about Funko Pops, and if it were just the capsules and figurines for these LOL Surprise things then I'd just shrug it off as another thing that's not for me...but that stupid amount of plastic really bothers me on a whole 'nother level. It just seems so bloody wrong...I'm hardly the eco-warrior type and usually don't get bothered by this kind of shit, but this blind sphere bullshit had struck some nerve I had no idea existed.
Recylced plastic only to end up in a trash bin...That's even worse for the environment then to just trash the original plastic it came, from since it takes a huge toll on the environment to recycle plastic in the first place! I was actually quite surprised how bad it is for the environment to process recycled plastics and metals, because of the sheer amount of chemicals and other nasty things they have to use. Unsurprisingly most of the processing of recycled material takes place not in the country of origin but in China and other countries...
Recycling still requires an immense amount of energy and resources, and plastic that's recycled into non-recyclable plastic that then goes into a landfill would actually be worse than just straight up new unrecyclable plastic due to the extra energy required to recycle said plastic in the first place, edit to add: especially when that recycled plastic was clearly intended for short-term use.
Unsurprisingly, the L.O.L Surprise stuff is made by MGA Entertainment, who also make Bratz, Smooshy and Lalaloopsy. They just have a thing for extremely unsettling and weirdly proportioned dolls for girls. Also, considering we're in an age where we're now having a war on single use plastic, covering one doll in three bags, three layers and a plastic ball isn't doing anyone any favours.
@@hexyko4850 We had Bratz, I for starters had one as a kid. They were introduced to the Brazilian market in 2002 and there were tons of commercials. They were just absurdly expensive and people just preferred Barbies and Polly Pockets anyway since they were cheaper and more popular.
mmarlaire I think he did it because in the advent calendar vids, ashens said bloody he'll and Dan said he could only think of him saying are we still doing these after. It might just be to annoy Dan
That third from last thing is the character Funghi, known as Nameko in Japan. He's from a series called Touch Detective. Yes, _Touch Detective._ Get your minds outta the gutter, it's about a detective girl that likes to touch things--Wait that sounds bad too. Yeah this is probably why they renamed the series to "Mystery Detective" in Europe.
jordan D Eh.. plastic is really important in our current lifes and being made of petroleum in a few years we might not have it anymore.. thats what its so alarming and thats what people are crying about
@DownForwardPunch There's a difference between you going around to every comment caring about the environment to say something negative and another person reacting to one of your many negative comments asking why the hell are you saying that. Not that hard to see a difference.
It's like the American Petroleum Producer's Association said "New product idea to promote petroleum usage: Collectible plastic wrapped in plastic wrapped in plastic wrapped in plastic wrapped in plastic wrapped in plastic wrapped in plastic. GENIUS.".
those LOL Surprise things seem like the perfect fodder for those channels where parents exploit their children by having them overreact to toys and mystery bags and stuff. I haven't checked if they already do or not, but if they don't feel free to steal the idea.
gferrol118 I thought they were just saying that to price hype their own ebay auction and get a fake market going for shite he knows isnt worth anything. Then i googled and lost all hope in humanity.
BurntFaceMan neither Dan or Ashens would do something like that. They don't lie to make money, as proven by neither of them doing any sponsored videos saying something is amazing, even when it's a massive pile of shit
yea it feels cold and kinda clinical. like when u go to the dentists for the first time or like it reminds me of when i went on a ferry for the first time
Think of the LOL things as the new Polly Pocket, because that's what it is. Also, there is a Series 3 that features LOL Pets, but they sell out as soon as they hit the shelves so unless someone is kind enough to send you one, you're not getting it.
Why was Ashens so shocked by the curry chocolate? He actually did a whole video where he compared two different brands of curry-&-chips chocolate bars, and both looked much worse than that... Hang on? One of the bars that video was the exact same brand and type as the one he had here!
So, the first riddle is "Diamonds are a girl's BFF." Okay, first of all: It's "best friend"; who the hell says "BFF" anymore? Second: If it's "diamonds", plural, shouldn't it be a picture of more than one diamond? Third: How is two girls holding hands supposed to represent "a girl's best friend"? They're not even smiling, and besides, who says a girl's best friend can't be a guy? Fourth: WHY ARE THE PICTURES SEPARATED BY A *PLUS SIGN??* If it's a plus sign, that either means you add an "and" (diamond and girls), or just join the two words together (diamond girls). If it's supposed to be "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", why isn't it an equals sign instead??
Surely there must be a packaging law for these things, there's like 15wrappers per ball with added shit inside each layer. And how have they got the binding of isaac stickers? I'm sure these aren't abiding by laws.
It would be filled with Poundland Tats, Chef Excellence Bags for that Tat, a Pop-station or two, a century egg along with Christmas in a can, some blind bag shit, and an inflatable crown.
I'm currently working in Argos over the Christmas period and we sell loads of these daily. I had no idea what they were so this is enlightening to see that it's literally a load of crap. I do know there's a huge football size one that we sell for £50!
I like how he had the first chocolate bar a couple years ago and hated it slightly less then. I mean I doubt I'd remember having a mediocre chocolate bar in 2015 with all the stuff he's eaten before and since then.
The company that makes these needs to be sued for environmental damage, for every penny they're worth, and the creators locked away for life. That is absolutely abhorant and disgusting waste.
AgentTasmania I think they stopped carrying bizarre food because people kept making fun of it. There's still plenty of weird shit in Dollarama(Canada's pointless) though.
Ashens is friends with Mentski, Larry Bundy Jr., Ornsack, My Virgin Kitchen and Nerd Cubed. Larry is a former ScrewAttack member and is friends with Wezi82 and DJ Slope.
I can reimburse the £4 to either Dan or Ashens for that keychain if they haven't already binned it! I've never heard of this "LOL" series but for some discernible reason I want that mug fries
Oh my god! The mushroom thing is based on a character called Funghi from Touch Detective/Touch Detective 2 1/2 (made by Beeworks for DS). The actual game (and particularly its sequel) were actually super fun and I loved them.
Those little dolls are vaguely reminiscent of Mattel's Liddle Kiddles from the 1960s. I found a space-themed one in a thrift shop in around 1999 for 25 cents, mint, sealed in its spaceship. it was just like a Happy Meal toy essentially, but since it had the original tag, and since I was a former Mattel employee, I recognized that the logo was the old style from the 60s, so I bought it despite not knowing anything about it. I sold it on eBay for $380. 25 cents to buy, sell for $380. That was my business model in the 90s, I did that sort of thing all the time. God damn, those were good days. I once bought a vanload of "nostalgic" chewing gum for $85 and sold it for several thousand.
It doesn't change the colour of its skin and all the babies change colour. It would be racist to make all the white babies change colour but not the black ones.
Fenwick pronounced Fennik, is a very famous department store originally in Newcastle but also now in other cities. Those bars are in various flavours and cost £4!!
This is the most hysterical Ashens vid in awhile, though I love them all. Just his reactions to everything has me rolling. "Onion of disappointment" LOL "What has thou wrrrrrought?" LOL LOL
