I love how many youtubers acknowledge that we fall asleep to them.

"if you can't handwash it, it's probably a napkin." Wise words to live by

13:48 This is taxonomy if you didn't know. Its all 4 orders under the Reptilia class. The 4 orders are: Squamata (Lizards, Snakes, and amphibians) Crocodilia (Obviously Crocodiles and Alligators) Testudines (Turtles and Tortoises) And Spenodontia (Lizards) I'm super into taxonomy which is why I immediately recognized this (well after figuring out how to read the text) Edit: Just quickly fixing some grammar mistakes

Theory: The "extremely flammable water" can is intentional. It is a can for gasoline or kerosine, but by coloring it blue and writing WATER STORAGE on it, the manufacturer can escape legal requirements to put a locking safety spout on it. These spouts prevent dangerous spills, but annoy the living crap out of many people since they're a lot harder to operate than a simple spout and the mechanism can jam.

16:54 That is a fire hydrant about half buried in the track, Lexi.

"for those who fall asleep to emkay videos-" finally, us people who can't sleep without noise get recognition! (P.S emkay thank u 4 posting you help me sleep because the commentary is exciting but relaxing at the same time )

14:18 these are all classifications for the animal kingdom- specifically “reptiles” or the likes of. It’s Sphenodontia (tuataras), Testudines (turtles), Crocodilia (crocodilians), and Squamata (scaled reptiles). Fun fact- Tuataras are the only two species of their classification and aren’t actually lizards despite looking like them- their signature trait is possessing a third eye.

It's very sweet of Lexi to try to prevent sleep-watchers from having an unfortunate accident.

"Do not go into your closet right now, And use it as a bathroom, it is not a bathroom, this a dream, you're still listening to an emkay video" 😂😂😂 I love Lexi! She sounds so concerned haha

"Yellow as a container color for gallons of drinking water." The U.S.A. after obtaining it: *We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled.*

I almost have all the information to passively defeat the Emkay narrators. Lexi is weak to funnel cakes (understandable), Jack is weak to snow. Now all I need is Robin's weakness.

Lexi: *acknowledges that people fall asleep to Emkay* Me: *About to fall asleep.* Oh... cool

i always LOVE and admire Lexi's optimism. Like she sees something in TiHi, Mildy or here and her first thought is, "maybe it's a misunderstanding. Let's fix it!" And i think that's very sweet~ ♥

I love the "suggestibility warning" 3:32 as Lexi tries to stop the sleep-Walker horde of zombie urinators from peeing in their closet.

7:25 The "Cooling Off" option may be for if you need to defrost the refrigerator to clear out frozen messes/ice formations. Saves energy and helps not having to unplug the entire unit.

16:50 "What is that supposed to be in the left lane? It looks like a chicken." That's...a fire hydrant but now I'm thinking A) of fire hydrants in the design of chickens lol, and B) Shanghai intended the hydrant to be a _really_ unsafe hurdle

6:00 No, see, this is the new kind of elevator that can take you to any place inside Willy Wonka's factory _and_ those strange floors between floors like in the "Being John Malkovich" movie. It also somehow takes you to any apartment staircase that you have a tag or code for. Pretty clever, but it has one of those "It will take you wherever you want, if you're not too picky" catches to it.

I suffer from anxiety, and trying to sleep without noise is torture, the voices on my mind say bad things. These videos make me concentrate on funny stuff until I fall asleep. Thanks for mention it. Anyway, in the morning I watch the whole video again, because I really like them, so...

The ‚half’ on the elevator buttons probably refer to split levels. Perfectly normal and yet ugly thing in architecture. It’s used to overcome differences in topography or if you want to increase the ceiling hight in certain parts of the building - or if you just want to be unnecessarily fancy

6:11 I want to own a nightclub in that building. Just imagine: a bar/nightclub with a out-of-normal-reality aesthetic, called L I M I N A L. In the lobby~ Receptionist: How may I help you? Patron: Howdy! So I heard about a cool nightclub here, called Liminal. What floor is it on? Receptionist: *doesn't look up* Negative two-and-a-half. Patron: I- I'm sorry...? Receptionist: *locks eyes, deadpan* Negative two-and-a-half.

2:50 oh that is not just crappy design, that is hostile architecture. It's intentionally made so as to make sure you cannot shelter under it, and discourages homeless people sleeping there

@14:00 It is vertical and animal scientific names. Squamata = Lizards Crocodilia = Crocodiles. Teststudine = Turtles Sphenodonts = Tuataras (Related to lizards)

9:24 Don't worry Lexi, it's not your eyes this time. We can't read it either.

9:38 gave me huge flashbacks to those “Frozen Elsa Foot Doctor” Flash games

Lexi: No one's going to drink yellow water. Bear Grylls: Wanna bet?

14:22 reading vertically, translated from scientific speak: Reptile, reptile, crocodile, scaled reptile.

your humor is amazing lexi

Oh right Lexi’s eyes. That “chicken on top of a cone” is a fire hydrant... right in the middle of one of the lanes

I like how lexi explains the issue and how it can be fixed

14:14 They’re Reptile orders, Lexi. It’s Latin. Sphenodontia (Tuataras), Testudines (turtles), Crocodilia (crocodilians), and Squamata (snakes and lizards)

Thanks for making my day Lexi!

My bro does that "Hoya" thing all the time, and I usually find it so annoying, but for some reason, when Lexy did it at 18:01... I had to cover my mouth to keep myself from laughing, so my dog wouldn't start barking, and freak out my mom.😆 Fun times in this house.

At 1:40, I am proud to not only live in that city, but be able to walk around and see crappy design like that. Just go walking in Auckland and you will see what I mean. I spotted 3 the other day when walking at local beach

14:05 it's basically telling you which animals there are, I'm guessing? Sphenodontia are tuataras, Testudines are turtles and Crododila are crocodiles. I don't know what the last one means, but I think that's what it could be.

I just started rewatching EmKay videos cause I just remembered they exist. Was bingeing different playlists, and my favorite ones are Lexi's(No offense Jack, Robin. You are both amazing as well!) So I saw this and cheered. Can't wait to watch! Coming back to this channel after one friend coming out as trans, one friend coming out as NB, joining my school's Gay Straight Alliance, realizing that even as a cis person, I can still be equally as chill with any pronouns(-he/him), coming closer to figuring out my sexuality, and, sadly, loosing a friend. Me and some of her close friends gave her family a Christmas gift today. Felt good. Now I get to chill and watch this! Have a great day/night, everyone, and Happy Holidays! Whether you celebrate the solstice, Kwanzaa, Hanukka, Christmas, or anything else! 11:17 Any Graphic Designer worth their photo editing software that wasn't forced to do that would have done so much better. 12:05 * Screams in applying for 2 year graphic design course *

12:56 It's a seeing eye exam. Occasionally you'll see ones where anyone who has tried to read an eye exam... (chart? Poster, with letters.) as if it read out to actually say something, might get a giggle out of it. I guess. It's just poorly made out due to bad spacing and too many words/letters. That's my guess.

16:50 You know Lexi's eyes are bad when something that's obviously a fire hydrant is mistaken for a chicken

Lexi’s survival tip for the water is top teir “This will either go perfectly or horribly, there is no middle ground.”

This video was awesome thank you for uploading so often it always helps when I'm bored!

17:42 YES! My sister is a graphic designer and when C0vid hit, she (like everyone else) was trying to find a job from home. Our mom was helping her. She told my sister about a place called Pinch A Penny. (It’s a pool supply shop in our city) And my sister was SO MAD at their name & their logo, she literally refused to go into the store then emailed them and said she’d make them a new logo for $20. She was THAT worked up about how terrible their design is. (Which as a fellow graphic designer, I admit it’s pretty pathetic) They never got back to her & we all say they’re salty that she legit said “your logo is pointless and kept me from knowing what your store even is. You need help with it if you actually wanna bring in customers, especially during a damn pandemic in Fl summer heat” before offering her $100+ services for a cheap $20. You gotta love your siblings during their kindest and bluntest moments cuz damn, are they entertaining! 😂

3:30 lol Lexi called me out. I love ending my day with Emkay

6:34 Lexi : "There's a negative two and a half!?" Me : there isn't 1 to 3 floors lol

2:00 I have seen many impossible objects in my life. And this, by far is the most impossible one of them all.

3:39 It feels strange they know I‘m watching this to sleep

11:53 don't you also hate when you are piping macarons and they turn into chocolate chip cookies in the oven

9:31 looking at how old that label is, I would say that this used to simply be black text on white fabric, and that the white fabric simply discolored over the amount of times the black garment was washed. That's not crappy design; that's wear and tear. (And it's just the standard label telling you to not dry clean it, iron at low temperature, and so on.)

"Why would you need the OFF setting for your fridge?" ... You never had too deep-clean your refrigerator, did you?

I watch you for two reasons 1:the videos are entertaining 2:all the reading makes me fall asleep

I can't stop laughing at 9:01 they both just look so disgruntled that their graphic is awful

Gdansk: (has the same pronounciation in both Polish and English) English-to-polish translators: let's give the A an accent line!

Emkay makes my day (that rhymed) I take a lot of screenshots from these vids and send them to my boyfriend and bestie. Have a great day!

ive seen the toxin removal ad on tumblr so many times, its probably one of the more cursed ads iv seen there. ive seen plenty weird and funny ones, but this one is absolutely cursed

13:48 Reptile people will know this one. Those are “orders” and some say, “families” or “groups” of reptiles.

3:15 that’s what heated bathroom tiles are for. They’re amazing

10:30 6639 hours is 39.5 weeks. I hope it’s a day-night cycle.

Lol i watched this like 3 months ago and at the time thought "who tf falls asleep to youtube vids", but now i can't sleep without em

“Them’s the rules. Nero decrees it so.” Lexi 2021

16:25 it's like the classic "started from the bottom now you're here" that's arranged Here Now You're Bottom From the Started

Lexy: Any wall is nice Me, a german: **thinks about the berlin wall**

i've fallen asleep to around 2 1/2 hours worth of emkay videos 2 weeks ago

0:12 Unless the thirsty person is Bear Grylls.

16:15 It is for this reason I can't read the road-written text properly: "AHEAD STOP". Okay. Ahead, I will stop.

8:07 Definitely batman

6:42 “This door is for entrance and exit to this building ONLY. Use of this door in an alternative manner is punishable by fine, apprehension by the SCP Foundation, and contract into the next biggest cartoon television show.”

1:50 you know things are getting bad when you actually have the normal looking version of the toy yourself and you still prefer this one because it looks dead and the original haunts your dreams

12:33 Yes

16:45 don’t wish me but that’s a fire hydrant, another crappy design

9:18 "If he shrugs, the whole country has to do math again." That one cracked me up

5:06 Satan: just wanna say, I’m a really big fan.

"The Infinity Tree" not the sequel we were expecting... but it's the one we got.

Lexi those are classifications for animals. Testudines- turtles tortoises Crocodilia- crocodiles alligators Sphenodontia- the New Zealand tuatara lizard Squamata- scaled reptiles e.g.: snakes and scaled lizards, meaning all lizards except for newts and salamanders, which have skin. Hope this helps.

I blame Lexi for my strange new desire to make a snow-luigi for this winter, even tho i know i have none to the skills to build one and it would most likely fall apart. edit: the clip is 15:35 so enjoy imagining a luigi made of snow.

7:07 the fridge at my Nana's house has the same adjustment layout. We just don't touch it ever lol

Lexi:"To those who sleep to Emkay videos" My half asleep ass: YOU WOT M8?

Ashens' Couch ????? really ???!!!! Oh Lexi, I'm now crushin' hard, but we both have lives, just know that there is love for you out in the cold cruel world.

7:23 you can turn off cooling on most modern refrigerators because it's a demonstration mode. essentially it's cheaper to make all of them the exact same, the store just pulls one, plugs it in and puts it in demonstration mode so it's completely functional in every other way, it just wont cool down (it also allows them to sell the floor model).

15:42 i think there should be a sub-genre of modern art that's similar to the Found Object theme to describe this kind of home design failure (and i thought our house with power sockets placed UPSIDE DOWN in the kitchen were the strangest instances of r/NotMyJob 9_9)

That WAS a good one Lexi-kitty!! I just got back from a 2 week visit to see my daughter who is stationed in Germany. Kinda bummed to be back and then first thing I hear is the beautiful Lexi, making me laugh as she always does. Thank you!!

for the Christmas tree remote at 10:17 I think the 6639H could mean 24 hours because 6+6=12 and 3+9=12 and then ofc 12+12=24......just a possibility

"You get is what Sweat what you." Never have truer words been spoken.

0:31 i thought this looked familier then i saw west coast racers then realized that it's Six Flags Magic Mountain, my home park which has the most roller coasters in the world

I do infact fall asleep to emkay every night

The half may also refer to a "Half level" FE in a parking garage with offset floors or, as some buildings I've been to do, the platform halfway down a staircase. Yes I have been to buildings where the elevators are behind the stairs. :)

Emkay, deelee, cowbelly, old soothouse, etc and kurtis Connor podcasts are the one and only reason I can sleep at night

2:31 ah yes, F L A M M A B L E W A T E R

I can die happy knowing Lexi watches Ashens

5:47 this almost made me choke on me noodles lol 🤣

the thing in the left lane of the running track is clearly a fire hydrant. The "chicken feet" is the steel chain keeping people from messing with it.

I purchased a big box of random Pokemon figures and I was excited about it. However when it arrived, all of them were demented small marble sized figures directly from China.

That "fake ground" on a cord was taken to a new level when I pulled this brand new toaster out of it's package and it had the spot engraved on the end like it was supposed to have a ground. But there was nothing in it

4:33 When half of your country isn't grounded

15:07 "Scan to vote for most festive slu- oh, *mhm*" is the funniest line of the video for me

I've seen that one at 5:55 as in, irl see it at least once a month for anyone who wonders where it is: florida

i thought you were calling me out for falling asleep to emkay videos every night for over 2 years

Hey, lexi, fun fact: those four Latin words that were crappily designed up to down? Yeah those are apparently the names of the four families of reptile.

1:02 I refuse to believe this is real. If it is, society is doomed.

If you can't handwash it, and it does get washed, you probably need an autoclave, not a dishwasher! Edit: The elevator at 6:10 probably has doors on both sides, which is also why the "half floors" are all on one side. Basically it got jammed in between two wings of a building that were built at different heights.

“Sup, simpee,” is how I imagine Lexi greeting her friends and I can’t stop laughing. 💀

5:16 first of all, their laugh and second, if you look at the dial for the setting it isn't even the right options.

“You’re listening to an EmKay video, and you’re gonna regret it in the morning.” And yet I keep coming back
