The Slim Suit actually does work, but the commercial is still horribly misleading. It is a sweat suit. Boxing and MMA gyms use them all the time. They are designed to trap body heat inside to cause you to sweat more and more. So you are dropping weight by dehydration. This is how boxers, MMA fighters and wrestlers drop 5 - 15 pounds in a few hours to "make weight". The weight loss is nowhere near permanent (the weight comes right back after you maniacally drink water), and if you don't know what you are doing, they can be horribly dangerous.
ProbeVoyages You don't really need to like to advertise this. bringing up the science for how this make you drop an entire dress size in a pinch would be great!
+metademetra No, you see, intelligent, logical statements aren't for the target audience. Most people are really dumb and wouldn't understand anyways, these days.
+AntiCritic Hey, our nation isn't doing great on health, but don't you think that insult is a little old? There are more jokes about Americans being fat and lazy than jokes about France's military surrendering(the latter are funnier and better written, though).
Brian Colborn It causes a burning sensation, and damages your skin. Hence, it feels hot, and is still cold. Objectively, it's cold; subjectively, nobody would argue that it doesn't feel burning hot. van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=687
Brian Colborn You've read the page I linked, right? Dry ice causes both a burning sensation, and the results of a burn. A child with a fever can't cause a fire, but they're still hot. Sunlight isn't combustible itself, but it's still hot. Your argument makes no sense, and is an attempt to justify the use of semantics. The statement still stands: by all valid judgments of "hot" and "cool", dry ice fits the stated qualifications of being so cool that it's hot, and contrariwise, so hot that it's cool. Next time you try to pick an argument, you may want to stick to the parameters of the subject.
Brian Colborn at a certain temperature your body doesnt differentiate between hot or cold anymore, you'll just feel a burning on your skin. in a more scientific way, there is no such thing as hot or cold. only temperatures which lie out of our comfort zones of approximately 20°C.
Well you're playing a board game about saving a fictional character from a movie which means you're not even the one who actually saves him It's pretty meta
+ChickenPika id like to point out that a women won a lawsuit where she spilled her mcdonalds coffee on her lap and burned herself while she was trying to drive, which is why you always see those "contents may be hot" warnings.
Actually, Zach was changed to Jack after a rip-off of Legos, going by the name Zaks, came into the area. They changed him to Jack to avoid "advertising" this rip-off.
"Finally, RU-vid is its own company again and they told Viacom and Disney to quit fucking with our content creators." *The Critic turns off the tv* "I can't wait until I can make that announcement."
I remember the white meat chicken McNuggets commercial because I had stopped eating them after biting into a nerve. I was so horrified to realize the old McNuggets were something MORE awful- but not horrified enough to not try the new nuggets
I looked up on Brickpedia (the Lego wiki) and it says... "LEGO originally had their LEGO Maniac named Zach/Zack, but when an imitator made their "sets" under the name of Zaks, LEGO changed the name to Jack to avoid unintentionally advertising for this fake. They changed it back to Zach later."
18:39 This one reminded me of a different scenario: Lance: Congratulations. You are the new pokemon league champion. Me: WHAT!? Lance: ... Is what would say. Me: COCK TEASE!
The Transformers commercials at 17:00 and 18:18 are for the Pretenders, essentially they're Transformers with organic shells (The Autobots had human shells, whereas the Decepticons had monster shells). They're from the later years of G1, but some of the characters like Bludgeon (who had the coolest shell, essentially a skull faced samurai), Skullgrin, Metalhawk (who was a Japan only character for a while), and Thunderwing still make appearances in Transformers fiction to this day. The ones at 17:00 are the Classic Pretenders, which were older characters (namely Bumblebee, Jazz, Grimlock, and Starscream) reimagined as Pretenders.
The "Slim Suit" actually worked, as advertized. If you wrap yourself in an insulating plastic bag, you will sweat. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon, so profuse sweating will result in minor weight loss. That is, until the resulting thirst drives you to drink it all back again.
Teddy Ruxpin: Hi my name is Teddy Ruxpin Me: AH THE DEVIL!!! Teddy Ruxpin: Would you be my friend? *looks at me with red eyes* I HAVEN'T FORGOTEN YOU ERIK Me: AH!!! *changing the channel to watch Star Wars Rebels* Teddy Ruxpin: ERIK!!! Me: AH!!! JALLER CHANGE THE CHANNEL Jaller: Okay Erik *Jaller changes the channel to Nickelodeon*
Uh, who's bra is that? Both situations are awkward. Either, you had to go to a department store to buy one bra, or you had to ask someone if you could start touching theirs on camera.
lol I don't see how its awkward. men probably handled or packaged or even sewn the bra I'm wearing. doesn't bother me. *chuckles* I'd lend mine for the sake of comedy. as long as it comes back clean and in good condition lol
if youve ever tested the hot water in your bathtub back in the days when hot water heaters took forever, the "so hot its cold so cold its hot" thing makes sense... hold your hand under scalding water long enough, and your nerve endings stop working properly, plays tricks on your head. So it starts to feel cold.
I never got the popularity of Cabbage Patch kids. My cousin had one, I always thought they were ugly looking things. Granted, I also never got the popularity of Furby either.
I was never into Furby but can kinda see why other people were,but as for cabbage patch kids? I agree. My Aunt got me one for Christmas one year and I threw it in the back of my closet,and it remained there throughout my childhood.
Kool-aid is notorious for being literally nothing but sugar and water. The mix crystals are just solidified glucose that gets crushed and put into little packets. The recipe calls for like, 2 cups of sugar and 4 of water and that's it. So the pre-made stuff in pouches having "20% juice " is actually a good thing, relatively speaking.
12:26 I only tried pop tarts once and the tag line should not be "so hot they're cool so cool they're hot" it should be " so hot you'll be going to school in agony and unable to speak because that sugary fruit shit they put in the middle gets so hot it's like eating molten steel and you've got second degree burns to 65% of your mouth"
Jack was originally the marketing name for the LEGO Maniac in Denmark, and in the US, two teams produced ads. One team thought it was a good idea to keep the old name, whilst the other thought Zack was more marketable. In the end, they simplified to just LEGO Maniac. Now the character as a whole was abolished in favour of a minifig named Max, commonly found in the LEGO Club Magazine.
did he just call it an explanation point? "explanation" point. does "!" (this) mean "explaining the statement"? No. It's called "Exclamation" point. "Exclamation" means "A cry, call or shout". "!" means to "exclaim the statement", not explain it. I'm sorry I seem like a no-good, puke-spewing internet troll, but that pronunciation was wrong and it really got me irritated.
Hey I know this ain't the league of critic channel but nostalgia critic should review video games and NO I DONT MEAN AVGN HE JUST MAKES FUN OF OLD GAMES nostalgia could really review the games not just rage on every little detail of the game.
The Nostalgia Critic did a game review, and the Nerd reviewed a movie. It ended in a climatic battle to the death between the two characters. Search *Nostalgia Critic and AVGN*.
Tommy Wiseau as the Shredder? For Michael Bay, that would be a step FURTHER down. Because he'd have made the movie's most villainous character the most HILARIOUS Character in any Movie Adaptation!
"Yusagi Yojimbo" means "Rabbit Bodyguard"; the character was inspired by the classic film YOJIMBO. Stan Saki's brilliant comics had a few crossovers with TMNT, hence the licensing of this bunny samurai toy.
Allow me to explain Pretender Transformers as best as I can, because the concept is just as confusing to me: The basic gist of Pretenders is that they are big...shells that hide a smaller robot inside. The outer shells had some of the worst articulation of the G1 line, while the inner robots had some of the best. In fiction, the Pretender technology allowed Transformers to disguise themselves as the indigenous races. However, I just don't see how they could work within the line. On their own, they're fine, but with the other, non-Pretender toys (like Powermaster Optimus Prime, which was released the same year as the original Pretenders), you have humans almost as big as the Transformers themselves on the Autobot side. It works better on the Decepticon side of things, but I just don't see it working. It works ALOT better in the Super-God Masterforce series exclusive to Japan, where the Pretenders are human-sized when in their shells. It's a nice concept, but ultimately, at least for the Autobot Pretenders, the scale discrepencies kill it for me. Then again, though, scale was never consistent AT ALL during the G1 line, especially in the first two years of the line when the toys were culled from two different Takara toylines (Diaclone and Micro Change), and even in today's lines like Combiner Wars and Robots in Disguise, scale is still all over the place, though it is easier to keep track of since the introduction of size classes when Beast Wars rolled around in 1996.
At the Hotwheels part... NC KNOWS WHAT A CENTIMETRE IS?? I thought he was american. Yes, being american makes me assume you do not know how long that is.
12:42 Actually, the body has a built in defense for extreme temperatures, like when you step on hot ground before you get in a pool in summer, it feels cold. Same way around.
The bazaar thing is the slim-suit may actually work - no I do not think it helps you loose weight in itself please read the rest of the comment. I'm serious the placebo effect is very powerful, and people may subconsciously change their habits to loose weight with it. Goodness gracious the suit doesn't do a thing, but doing a research project on it may be very interesting
It helps you sweat. You can lose ten lbs of water weight in a few hours if you work out in one. It's what people use if they cut weight for a match or tournament. You do lose more calories as well.
Most YT'ers are probably too young to remember the Columbine school shootings.. but I remember the ensuing moral panic over metal music (and computer games, we're talking Doom now, LOL), much of it directed at Manson personally, coz the two perps apparently listened to his music. They interviewed Manson at the time, it might have even been O'Reilly himself, and probed him on what he'd say to those kids. His reply was this.. "I wouldn't say anything. I'd just listen, which is what no one bothered to do". I gained a lot of respect for Marylin Manson that day
im pretty sure its a different child and name because it makes you feel like you could be a lego maniac aswell. They needed the name to be similar though because it wouldnt rhyme with the rest of the song if it wasnt
