+krumpll No worse than walking into a costume shop and buying a red wig and a nurse's uniform with prominent scars on your face and possibly wearing clown makeup.
I don't know how it works in the UK, but here in the United States pregnancy tests are regulated by the FDA, so the cheap dollar store ones are just as efficient as the expensive bluetooth witchcraft tests.
Sand Fan 3000 maybe they can import them from the US? Remember the UK does have national health and I can take a while to get non life threatening services!
I can only imagine the look on the cashier's face when ashens came to the counter with: A red fabulous wig, a pregnancy test, a miniature trash bin and shitty toys.
Goobian ... That's actually really interesting. So what you're saying is if I'm worried I have testicle cancer, hold a pregnancy test in my piss stream?
Lord Funface The Atomic Toaster According to Snopes it's partially true. www.snopes.com/medical/disease/pregnancytest.asp If you don't read that it basically says yes some forms of testicular cancer cause a pregnancy test to turn positive but it's not recommended that you get a test to see if it turns positive as a reliable test.
Fun Fact: In relation to the "there's nowhere for the fetus to gestate" comment, there are a number of pregnancies on record wherein a woman went for a prenatal exam only to discover that her uterus was empty, because the baby to be somehow escaped her reproductive tract and latched onto her abdominal wall or one of her other organs for it's source of nutrients. It's a form of ectopic pregnancy. Edit: That fact is not, indeed, fun.
Now, I can just imagine a doctor saying: "Ma'am, you ARE pregnant, but you're baby is literally eating your liver. Ever seen 'Alien'? It's a bit like that, really..."
Stuart, I hope you read this. I've been watching your videos now for around 8 years. They were comforting to watch after I lost my mum, they cheer me up when I'm feeling down, and of course all the times in between. I think the entertainment you provide is remarkably good. The humour, the sarcasm, the dry wit - it's all just right, and being British there is of course no language barrier, so I 'get it' all. Without waffling on anymore I will just say "thank you." If what you do has a positive effect on other people then you should be proud of what you've achieved.
I was unfamiliar with the expression "drop the sprog" meaning "to give birth" and I though he said "drop the Strogg", which I imagine would be quite unpleasant for a lady, unless her secret dream happens to be having an enemy from Quake 2 come out of her lady bits, that is.
What's the decay rate on loom bands? I want to make a massive, mysterious cube, fill it to the brim with loom bands and go bury it on a tropical island, for some future dolt to come and dig up, thinking he found a valuable treasure. *Future edit from 2115:* _Well! Jokes on me. Loom Bands are the worlds most traded commodity in the future and I just made some stranger a gazillionaire._
+Daniel Renard If Loom Bands were the MOST traded commodity that would mean that there are a lot of Loom Bands being traded which means pricewise they'd be virtually free.
When he put the pregnancy test in the bin I cracked up. Also started laughing at the thought of him buying all these things at the counter...must have been an awkward exchange with the cashier.
In Canada green waste bins like that are actually used for food waste. The idea of keeping food waste in a small bin on a desk is “magically delicious”.
1:22 "I had a horrifying image of a baby suffocating in a wig." If there were a hell I would certainly be going there now, judging by how much I laughed at this
Whenever I see an Ashens video in my sub box, I usually wait to click on it. They just always seem so unappealing. But then when I eventually get bored enough to watch all the videos that seem more unappealing than the others in my sub box, and I get to the Ashens video, I find it hilarious, and regret not having watched it sooner. Am I the only one?
admittedly i do the same, but I do that with many things youtube or non youtube related. But at least when it does happen i am usually happy that a few episodes have already came out and now i ccan watch em all.
Depends on the time and subjects. If it's food I wait until I have some food handy. If it's tat it depends on how much free time I have cause I like to sit and savor Ashen's videos.
Three men were driving through the country when their truck broke down. It was bad weather and they had no place to go. Of course the farmer came along and said they could spend the night with him under one condition. He had a son who had no ears and got very upset if anything was said about it. Later that evening at dinner one of the men kept staring at the boy. The boy, getting upset, asks “What are you staring at?” The man says, “Oh, it’s your teeth, your teeth are so pretty, and make sure you take care of them or they will end up just like mine!” and he takes his teeth out. The second man kept staring and staring at the boy. The boy getting more upset asks the man “What are you staring at?” “Oh,” the man says, “It’s your hair, you have the prettiest hair I have ever seen, and make sure you take care of it or it will end up just like mine!” and he takes his wig off. The third man kept staring and staring and the boy was really irritated at this point and says, “What the hell are you staring at?” “Oh,” the man says “It’s your eyes, you have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen and make sure you take care of them because you don’t have any ears to put glasses on.”
***** He couldn't hear but still could see and was insecure. He didn't need to hear to watch the men staring at him also some deaf people could make out what people are saying by how they form their mouth and just watch their lips.
Our Poundland has this weird psychic thing going on- either that or it has the most amazing market research team to ever roam the Earth. For example, the 3d rulers with names on. They don't carry the name Jim, which literally nobody in my town has.. but they stocked surplus of William, which is a name that i-shit-you-not everyone has in their family. It's crazy. And dogs? They happened to stock 'Tibetan Terrier' themed products. I mean, who does that? Poundland of course. Because there are Tibetan Terrier owners in the town. Aaaaaaand camping equipment. Previously none, but somehow the intel at Poundland discovered when Scouts were doing a camping trip and happened to stock every item on the kit list, including emergency survival blankets (?!?!) and groundsheets. What is life ??
I have to agree with the final comments. Pound shops do sometimes sell pretty useful stuff. I bought a HDMI cable, notepad, pens, headphones, a Belkin mic for standard headphones, CAT5e RJ45 Ethernet cables, USB hubs, TV antenna, snacks and even some toiletries just in the last few months. Pound shops aren't all that bad.
I work at Poundland (and previously at 99p Stores) so Ashens is always a damn good source of amusement. I'm actually glad you showed the good side for a change; there really are some absolute bargains to be had! Also a lot of cheap tat. ;)

If Poundland are really selling Belkin HDMI's I will be very impressed
OhNoNotMyPenis It technically is still popular, people still play it. They just don't make the games anymore. I buy the guitar hero controllers and sell them on Amazon. Some sell very quickly within 2 weeks.
FWIW, the dollar store pregnancy tests work just fine. In fact, I have it on good authority that many clinics use them for testing. We went cheaper and used the 10 for a dollar eBay China specials, which work fine but don't have the nice plastic case, just a plastic strip and a foam pad. Detected successfully within 7 days.
When they say they developed a range of kitchen items I assume they really mean they went to Alibaba, found some cheap products and slapped some packaging on it.
***** Not that it means they are bad. I just wish they were honest about it. Much like the "surprise" arrival of a reality TV host at someone's front door, the fake nature of it grates on me.
Silviu Moga I know. This is my biggest brush with fame since walking past a well known CBC political correspondent in Ottawa. I am so glad I have a beer on hand after writing that.
sтαтιc ғσg well, its enough to warrant a check I would guess. I mean... if I as a man got a positive, I'd go see a doctor in the next tenth of a femntosecond.
Males with certain kinds of cancer (of the ball variety, I think) do test positively on pregnancy tests sometimes. Fun fact: You probably don't have ball cancer.
how lovely that the desk tidy actually comes as a set of two, as the box it comes in functions perfectly as another, slightly larger bin. if you don't like the wheelie bin, you can tidy it away into the slightly larger, transparent bin and then neatly tidy them both into a regular size bin together.
Yes. HcG is present in testicular cancer, as technically it's an abnormal growth in tissue. Also, gonadotropin is a funny word! Good old anatomy and physiology!
Oh the dollar store pregnancy test... 7 years ago I had to buy a pregnancy test, I went to Superstore (large grocery chain in Canada). I managed to grab one and get in line without any old lady commentary, a great feat in small town Nova Scotia. As I'm standing in the 1-10 trying my best to look inconspicuous all of a sudden a shrill exclamation comes from my left "YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THOSE AT THE DOLLAR STORE!!!". I turn to see a 50 year grandma staring at me. Dying of embarrassment I turn slightly and mutter "oh yeah... Cool I guess..." and slide forward. She wouldn't stop talking about her grandkids.... They now have durex condoms at Dollarama. Also there is a dollar store chain called "Great Canadian Dollar Store" where everything is "$3 or less!", most of it is $2.50.
I've seen a store, misleadingly named 'Pound Store' or something similar, where (in very small letters underneath) it turned out everything was a pound *or more*.
Silica gel is non-toxic, if you eat it you will be absolutely fine. The message is just intended to make it clear that it is not intended to be eaten, which might not be as obvious in some packages, but very clear in others.
7:10 Don't know why but that made me laugh out loud. Why would they even put that on the package? So many questions... Maybe they are time travelers that knew Ashens would review it.
if you buy the base game of WoW you get everything up to cata for free mists of pandara will likly soon follow once warlords of dreanor comes out. so the 1 pound for cata and WotLK is pretty much you get a nice box.
***** It'd be cool, but sadly I doubt it. Electronics are worth less and less money every passing day, including videogames. Only exceptions are the ultra rare ones; rare as in, never released to public or some shit like that... but that's not the case of WoW. Maybe in a thousand years when it can actually be considered a relic of older times and they need a special weather for it to not turn into dust in a museum.
Oneheckofaperson I keep seeing halo for a $1 on amazon. No idea where you get $20 or $30 from unless you're looking at unopened copies. With the master chief collection coming out I doubt the prices would rise anymore.
I wasn't .. I've always heard if a dude pees on a pregnancy test and it comes up positive there's a chance of testicular cancer. again, not sure how true that is but..
but on a lighter note, I never understood loom bands even when I was younger. they were easy to take the piss out of and not much else... what a weird era. lmao
Peter Folchi They're basically litmus tests, they either work or they don't. It's a strip soaked in a chemical. They're no more or less accurate than a namebrand one you spent $20 on. Get 5 from the dollar store, and eliminate statistical error
+CyberGenesis Shane Dawson did positive for pregnancy test and now I'm crying I love Shane Dawson he's funny. I saw him do it on his video. "trying out girl products" 😊
Nyveria I really love to watch these videos but I hate them as well because it constantly reminds me of just how shit dollar stores are in America compared to those in the U.K. You will NEVER find brand name items like Belkin here in dollar stores.
+Gradient I think the person at the counter would look at him strange every time he shops there with the stuff he buys. And he's probably got to know the staff.
Selling a man a pregnancy test isn't weird. You just assume he's purchasing it for his lady friend because she's too embarrassed. Guys buy tampons all the time too.
