It's a reference to Troy McClure, from the Simpsons.
“Am I right Peter?!!!”, I think Simon’s fell into an new catchphrase
I am stunned at how much I enjoy this community. Not a lot of women though, small brains... Am I right, Peter? (note, this is just an in joke and women are equal to men Peter.)
@@BJ-dq5rv AM I RIGHT PETER!?! Them ladies just aren't big brained enough,am I right peter!
Prescient comment!
easily one of my favorite lines. my son has started saying allegedly lol
I was trying to recall the origin of that catchphrase, only remembering that it had something to do with an old ad. Found it on the first try!
this is a 24 minute long ad for “the past was the worst” t shirts
Or the upcoming "AM I RIGHT, PETER??" range
Nope. It was a 20 minute ad for “the past was the worst” t shorts with a 4 minute ad for Money Spoon at the start...
You beat me to it
@@arghjayem That's quite offensive towards those poor dudes who have to wear t shorts.

As someone born in the early '70's, I'd just like to thank you for driving home the point that the grim reapers relentless footfalls are coming ever closer. Cheers
The only guaranteed future is death...For everyone...You're welcome :)
Hey! I was born in 1963. I've already got one foot in the grave. Don't ask me where I have the other one though ;)

@@fr2ncm9 born before you. Not worrying about dying.
you're welcome
Im just wondering what the neighbours are thinking
hearing a man continously scream " Am I right Peter " 😂
I think Simon keeps taking on Magic Spoon ads so that they’ll keep sending him free cereal. I think the money is secondary 😆
Sounds like a legit reason. 😉
Well... It does make him the only man in Europe with Magic Spoon cereals...
Hey he needs something to feed Danny.
i can confirm that :D
that's the play. I'd use my celebrity to get EVERYTHING I wanted in life for free as much as possible. if they pay extra to cover a bill or too that's a plus but if you can get stuff like food or entertainment or transport free that's one less worry
I love how Danny is on the verge of driving Simon to insanity. He's slowly getting there. Steady on Danny Boi
Starting to believe danny is just one of simons split personality.
@@notajetplane Sam probably is as well
Pretty sure they’ve driven each other insane, allegedly.
It's the grand plan of ETA, Danny and Sam to get Simon sectioned, so they can take over the channel
@@notajetplane lol. Same. 🤣
As someone born in the '70s, I would like to thank you for reminding me that I'm old.
Yeah, assomeone born in the '40s, me too.
You're not old...you're just young challenged.👍
Born in 75 feel the pain
I laughed way harder at that than I thought I would. Sprayed soda all over my screen🤣🤣🤣
The only thing that makes a person old is their ideologies.If you're able to progress with society and change with the world,you're never old...
I always start my day with a big bowl. It's not cereal, but I do use the "code" blaze.
Ha ha same bro
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The best kind😂😂😂
Always!!!!
Big blazing riiiight now
@Scott Maclaren allegedly....
Now I'm morbidly curious how much Magic Spoon had to pay to ship their products to Simon.
Can't be too expensive. I can order stuff from the US for 8 EUR shipping costs.
A lot
They probably used Amazon. Lol.
@@1IGG I sent my sister a small painting, no frame, to the UK. It cost $15. It was in a paper envelope between two pieces of shirt board to keep it from getting bent. It couldn’t have weighed 3 oz- less than 1 kg.
It is not about the money, he just loves the cereal :)
Simon, I am so old that when mom took me to the doctor when I was a child, he would smoke in his office. You could smoke in the grocery store. My mom did. Everybody did. Ahhhh, the glorious '60's.
Roxy Music has a song called "The Strand."
Uhhh...I clearly remember people smoking every where when I was a child,and I was born in the 90's.Sure it didn't last long,but it was exactly the same up until laws stopped people...But I remember saying hi to the cooks at our local diner and they'd all be in the back smoking over their frying pans with butts all over the floor lol
Remember smoking in high school?
Oh my god! I also remember my doctor smoking too! And yes, it was everywhere. I clearly remember people smoking in grocery stores, movie theaters, shopping malls, etc. I'm only 42 so it's not like it was the fifties either.
@@HadleySlater wow I’m 42 also but I have a hard time thinking of instances when I saw ppl smoking in casual every day places. I do have a memory of ashtrays at airports.
@@df9969 My high school had an actual smoking lounge.
These make me wonder if the people in the 1950s were making fun of the people in the 1900s, like we're making fun of the those in the 1950s. It's a vicious cycle.
But good vicious cycle
They'll talk about how backwards we are in 2077
It's not a vicious cycle. It's just us remembering that we have it better than before.
The past was the worst. I’ll be in the kitchen.
I used to have a book from my great grandparents about child care, & housework for wives. It recommended that if your young child frequently ran off while you are doing housework, then tie them to a tree. It then said you should check on them every 2 to 3 hours. It recommended learning knots from a sailor, to ensure the child didn't run away. Try explaining this to a judge, when explaining why you should be allowed to keep your kids. 🤣🤣
Ah, the past
The past was the worst.
Try being raised by Asian parents. Their response to everything is usually a smacking. Or humiliation in front of your siblings. That works too in destroying your child's self esteem.
One thing humans are good at is making more of themselves lol even if themselves suck...
Sounds like a perfectly legit parenting technique to me.
I mean, the new ways clearing are not working based on the sheer amount of young, absolute dickheads or total wet blankets currently infesting the modern world.
I was born in 1969 and when my mom gave birth to me (in an Army hospital), they couldn't smoke in the delivery rooms, but they could in their room after the birth. A room with eight to ten beds in it, with other women and babies.
That was also the era of no husbands in the delivery room. My oldest daughter had her first baby two months ago and not only was her husband in the delivery room, he got to stay in the hospital with her the whole time (he had his own bed in what looked like a suite!).
So yes... the past was the worst!
'60s baby here as well. I remember all the adults smoked when I was little, it was all completely normal, even when my brothers, cousins and I were all scampering about at family parties.
I remember a massive holiday complex we went to as kids that was sponsored commercially, the two teams at Kids Club were named Embassy and Castella. Embassy cigarettes and Castella cigars, we were all of 5-8 years old. Its true about the past.
I guess it's a question of technicalities whether Simon throwing boxes
of Magic Spoon from the top of the basement stairs to Danny in the dark counts as having met him.
You think he feeds the basement slaves Magic Spoon?!? That ish is exPENsive!!!
@@s4bombshell Simon feeds them the sample flavors he doesn't like
Danny's writing is fantastic, Simon reading it is hilarious. Then sam on the other hand is just killing it. I've been brought to tears from laughing so much 🤣😂🥲🏆. Thank you for the constant entertainment while learning something.
Magic Spoon had my business at “capitalism-fest”
It's not good cereal, but it does work as a trail mix or snack. It just doesn't mix with milk well.
Simon going on and on about the peanut butter and cinnamon flavors makes me want it to try it so much. I looove peanut butter and cinnamon.
But Magic spoon doesn't ship outside of north America.
SORT. THIS. OUT. MAGIC SPOON
I just wish people would stop taking calories outta stuff. I have an extremely fast metabolism and zero food products cater to me anymore... Its been a slow decline of two decades to even "original" is "lite" now... Can never find regular ground beef. Medium is even rare...(badoompsh)... But lean and extra lean everything. Almost all steaks no marbleing... Wtf world. No wonder Gordon Ramsey is always angry...
@@bayoubilly5176 The trick is to go to a small town shop. Especially Amish or similar. Trust me, calories galore, delicious food, and no shortage of beef fat, even in the "vegetables".
@@billykann7725 It does not contain any actual cereals which is why it does not mix with milk. The label even says it contains no wheat or anything else that qualifies as a grain. Not worth 10 dollars per box.
Honestly I'll deal with the 3-minute cereal adverts cuz this dude is hella entertaining
At least it's not RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS. Though a $10 box of cereal is asking a lot.
My local grocery store bought some and then threw out half of their magic spoon inventory for some reason...
FREE AMBROSIA WOOOOOO
@@thepagnaet6361 And the label says it contains no grains, which means it may as well say "contains no cereal!"
@@runed0s86 for real?
@@petenielsen6683 really - no sugar, no grain. So wtf this stuff is made of?
Sam, you gotta sample the show wonder showzen, there's a little boy screaming "that's rasist!" In one episode that would have been :chefkiss: perfect here! Also, I noticed the RAM Ram, that was gold!
I agree. Wholeheartedly. Also , the " kidz beat, beat kidz!!" Clip would be awesome!
Accidentally started watching this at 2x speed, I almost thought Simon was going crazy for real.
I bought your “The Past Was the Worst” shirt for exactly this reason
Simon: "Danny, you can't make food with your thoughts"
Danny screaming back from the basement: "How do you think Im still alive"
Me and the wife constantly keep saying "Am I right Peter" whenever someone mentions a woman accomplishing something 😂😂 I seriously need a gif of this to send to people who are fellow blazers
If Danny ever offers you his special "Basement Brew," just say NO and run like the wind! 🍺🐁😂🤣
So what happens here is Danny writes the script, I read the script, and sam adds some fine vintage memes. Oh and magic spoon takes the first 4 minutes of the video for adverts, and NOBODY even questions it.
Petition to set Simon and Danny up on a date
Who pays the bill at the end? Magic Spoon? ♥️💋
@@SkyraHope it's a breakfast date, with a "magic" spoon.
I'm sure the spooning would be magical. But Simon would never agree to spend that much time beside a basement radiator. even if he is the big spoon.
@@timtheconjurer Simon would defo be little spoon lmaoooo pretends to be in charge but has a soft spot for Danny
@@elle_rose_xx I disagree, Danny has been chained, Simon walks freely. This tells us the dom sub dichotomy.
It's not just you, Danny. I've had jars with vacuum seals that were so tight and low pressure that when I finally did get them to turn, the force of the air pressure pushing down on the lid stripped the thread, so that the lid just spun around, trapping my delicious salsa inside until I rescued it with the stab of a steak knife. Of course, now I was left with a salsa jar that couldn't be closed, so I was forced to eat it all in one sitting. The tragedy of it all.
And yes, that sentence started with "jars" and ended as a singular, because the exact thing happened more than once. The third time I figured out how to use one of those old fashioned can openers that were tiny levers to get some leverage under the lid and let some air in.
My "Allegedly" and "Alegendly" T-shirts came in! I am officially blazing.
This video is currently monetized. Let's see how long that lasts
How can you tell? Or you just making a joke
Watched the video, get the joke.
@@coreyperdue37 usually how it goes with bb lol
All three of you are so incredibly talented. I want to thank all of you, Simon, Danny, and Sam for making this horrendous year at least entertaining.
I love that they have to tell Simon to read a specific part verbatim. "For legal reasons". Allegedly
Fun fact: Winston’s factory in their home city (Winston-Salem) burned down when a worker threw another brand’s cigarette on the ground and it ignited a fuel line.
This one just popped up on random for me. This was the birth of "Am I right, Peter???" wasn't it? Man, I miss this bonkers format. 😂
“take that sterling keeper tape of ice”
subtitles are nuts when simon yells lmao
🤣
Simon: "I'm like, 'Danny have you met me?' No he hasn't actually."
Then how do you feed him in the basement?! The plot thickens. I think there must be co-conspirators!
Anyone could be working for Simon Whistler. You never knew. That was his power.
We have a system of slots and levers.
@@brainblaze6526 ah, sounds like the basement is set-up like an operant conditioning chamber. Smart man. (Big brain.) That should ensure Danny keeps producing only the finest scripts.
@@SpencerGD then... what is the looming punishment spurring motivational fear?
I'm so unreasonably excited that Rotting Badger is to be a fragrance for women!
Ya, for some reason this advertisement for Magic Spoons convinced me that I have to buy it now. Although your past advertisements for them got me curious, you have finally done it Simon, you have become a master salesman!! 👏🥣🥄💫
You finally talked me into it: I bought the stupid, expensive cereal.
I really want to just to try it, but it is stupid expensive...
YOLO
oh this was great XD AM I RIGHT PETER!!!!!!!! memes on point my friend lol
Best part of any episode
@0:16 did anyone else hear Simon say "Sam and Danny" and instantly think he was queuing up for a chained up in the basement joke about Simon making them fight over who could lick the inside of the magic spoon bag after he ate all the cereal? No, just me... I'll be quiet now
Simon, you should try the 90 and 100 proof were have in America. We used to see ads for cigarettes everywhere. Offering someone a cigarette was just polite. But then, people smoked in hospitals, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, bars, and everywhere else.
Simon was extra insane on this one, I love it
Simon, I often skip ad reads, especially if I know I'm not going to buy the product.
I always watch your business blaze ad reads, because they're as entertaining as the rest of the episode.
And I live in England, which is almost Europe, Thanks Brexit, so, I know I can't but it.
WATCHING ANYWAY!
"Should I have heard of that?" Yes, Simon, as usual, yes.
"Something incredibly sexist"
Simon: AM I RIGHT PETER!
"Working girl" Means something entirely different in the US now.
I love how business blaze is the only channel I stop things to watch and gets me through a bad pain day. Legends.........I’m off to take my drugs allegedly
Magic Spoon must be paying him TONS!!! You see that GOLD spoon Simon is now using? Hey Simon, may I borrow a spoon for my tea?
We lived in Shanghai from 2012-2016, and let me just say that if Pears' Soap ran those ads for their products today in the Asian market, they would make a killing. I didn't know until we moved there, but the Chinese spend Billions (with a B) every year on 'skin bleaching' treatments designed to give them a 'whiter' tint. I would never have believed it if someone had told me, but they have the most expensive assortments of both 'lightening skin cremes' and plastic surgery (for removing the 'hood' from their eyes, to look rounder and more 'open') I've ever heard of outside of maybe L.A.
I think that ad would drive demand in China today, and they'd likely sue for false advertising if it didn't bleach them as well as the baby in the ad.
That is so sad. ☹ People should love themselves more.
@@ChanaRo613 I think it's kind of like "the grass is always greener" (the 'skin is always lighter'?) like girls with straight hair wanting curly hair, girls with big b00bs wanting no b00bs, etc. The idea that having the opposite of whatever we we've got will be the key to 'success' somehow.
I think of it as 'personalisation'--like changing your hair colour or getting tattoos, identifying yourself to others to kinda 'find your tribe.' Humans are amazing :)
Well it was a nice little channel we had here. Then we all watched Simon get cancelled.
😅😅😅😂😂😂😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣❤ Love your work big guy.
When Simon says ‘Peter’ it just makes me feel part of it!
Am I right Peter?
Not being a fan of cereal and therefore had never heard of this brand before, I was very interested in what was and how they made a “magic” spoon. Got to say, I was very disappointed it was not the spoon that was magic.
Oh man, what a freaking great spot at the beginning for Magic Spoon, Simon! The whole video was fantastic and I’d feel like less of a person if I hadn’t watched it, but that beginning spot was something else entirely special and one of the best sponsorship promotions I’ve seen. I know I won’t forget about Magic Spoon now if there was any chance I would have.
Thanks guys, for another pee dribbling funny and mind numbingly awesome episode of Business Blaze!
Magic spoon needs to make a simon flavour with little bearded men in the box.
Open the box like 'wow, I didn't know so many little people could fit into a box this small.
This is an abomination... I'm going to be sick.'
Flavored with rotting badger
I have suffered with chronic depression and borderline personality disorder for the past 38 years, i cannot shake it regardless of seeing lots of different shrinks through the years. I am a naturally miserable bastard. Simon is the only person that genuinely takes my mind off my shit and makes me smile. You really do Simon, so thank you so much for helping me get some respite.
Business blaze idea: 30 mins of advertisement and Simon's personal experience of the products. 😂🤣😂🤣.
(This is a service to Danny as he doesn't need to write a script for a day)
Then he wont get payed that day.
Sam working real hard today😁
Feel like I’m being indirected by Simon because I tweeted him a few weeks ago telling him how much I need magic spoon but live in the U.K. AT ME NEXT TIME SIMON!
I also can sell you cereal for 40 EUR per kg...
“Am I right Peter!!” Simon should say that from now on in every video
Best part of the episode
Godly work on the memes Sam! It's always good, but damn this one is superb
This was fun. Simon stopped his jokes right before they started to get old. You're timing... perfection!
Okay Simon, I give up. I bought 5 boxes of Magic Spoon. Now do the right thing. Send some Magic Spoon down to the basement so Danny and Sam don’t have to subsist on the sawdust from the walls as they try to dig their way out when you’re not looking. Allegedly.
You should not have said that... now they shall be punished.
@@zone_braker Shit, fuck, didn’t think of that... sorry Danny and Sam!!
Need Sams magic spoon ad from the last sponsor run it was the funniest ad I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
"The early seventies was 50 years ago." A few weeks ago you wondered who watched sitcoms in the seventies. Are you trying to make your viewers who are over 50 feel ancient? (A couple of tips about growing older: arthritis sucks, but you can forget about it by looking up all of your old toys on the Internet.)
Well, "The White Man's Burden" is a poem by Rudyard Kipling published in 1899. I once had to explain it to a student i was tutoring via dramatic reading and it is incredibly racist.
“Grain-free cereal” is literally a contradiction in terms.
i'm australian and i'm listening to you bellend is the best word ever created and you're my favourite one
And just last month Burger King UK tweeted "Women belong in the kitchen" on International Women’s Day. They were trying to get women to pursue a culinary career. But who came up with that, then who approved it thinking that was a good idea or would go over well? lol
Hmm, given Burger King's track history with unusual advertising, that could of been a planned idea. I mean, it definitely would of got talked about and the context is actually funny once you learn what the tweet is about. Generally, most people these days completely switch off for adverts because you can only hear a variation of "We're the best, so buy our stuff" so many times before it just becomes white noise, so it's a better advertising strategy to say something outrageous to hook people then make your real point know.
That last one just makes me want to listen to The Prodigy now, as well as Beetlejuice the Cartoon Show. I really don't have a problem with out of context humor.
Sam really goes all out for the Magic Spoon ads and I love it!!
And then gets sued by the angry cook man
@@radovanobal3842 worth it lol
Sam. SAM. SAM! You are on FIRE sir!
Come for Sam's memes, and stay for Danny's script!
Again those adverts on RUclips make a great story even better!
Austin Powers scene runs "It tastes like shit! - It is shit."
RUclips Ad follows: "And that's the new iPhone from Swappie."
Well played Sir.
9:19 Sam's favorite meme😂
Learned to fast forward every Blaze vod to 6 minutes. Don't miss any of Danny's content. Simon speaks so quickly, like a British chipmunk on speed. Slowdown, like an Irishman.
Try to keep up.
In fairness I remember when I was a kid hearing my black friends moms threatening to slap the black off of them. I'm not sure if that's a Canadian thing, but it was more than one mom.
Normally the threat came after we'd done something stupid.
@andy lord
Not just a Canadian thing...I'm in the US and several Black friends tell me their moms said that to them when they were kids!
@@ChanaRo613 Ok. lol
This was years ago, and I was a child, so I don't know. But I don't think any of them were of American ancestry.
Now I'm wondering where the phrase came from.
Maybe TV? Anglo-Canadians watch a lot of American TV.
I love the fact that Simon stuffed up saying efficient and had to say it twice. Therefore making it quiet inefficient or as simon would say " inethicient" 😂
I will be ordering from Magic Spoon. I’m type 2 diabetic and this would be so much better for me than almost any other breakfast I could eat. It would provide a healthy bedtime snack too!
I swear these just get better and better. My god, what an ad read.
gotta thank magic spoon a lot because this video was demonetized from moment 0 after ad read

My mother remembers that when her father was in the hospital for lung cancer -from smoking- he'd send her out to buy cigarettes. . .from the vending machine in the hall 😓
Simon and Danny have never met?! Why did I just assume they were old school chums?!?!
Business Blaze, the only channel where the intro of a 353248+ minute video is 50% of the entire video
What does birthday cake taste like?
Disappointment, sadness and awkward silence because no one showed up for your party, again.
Simon, you're a magic spoon. The only channel where the paid promotions are nearly as good as the content.
Simon sought a Magic Spoon sponsorship just to trick them into shipping to him in Europe.
Even though kids did start watching the Flintstones it was considered as bad as letting your kids watch Southpark or family guy today. Which also yes there are plenty of kids who can quote cartman and Peter, but they are by no means appropriate for children. So it would be akin to comparing the Flintstones advertising cigarettes as targeting kids as Peter griffin advertising beer as targeting kids. They really aren't supposed to be watching it.
That was Epic!!!!
Yank Danny's leash for me.
That sausage ad still works 100 years later - I am hungry now
I feel like Sam goes so hard on the Magic Spoon ads because it's the only decent food Simon provides in the basement.
The only magic spoon they see are the occasional loose ones that fall and roll into the right spot.
Though a while back we did find out Danny had trained a rat to steal things for him Instead of the wrong it as we expected.
Simon put and end to that though.
@@otakuman706 he puts an end to everything:(

Yes, Magic Spoon ships to Canada, but at a price. With shipping it works out to $15 per box. That's a ridiculous amount for cereal which isn't going to make me smarter or more handsome or popular.
I like to facepalm when I hear "GMO free".
I was gonna say the same thing GMO food is no worse than any other

I have the original pair soap ad framed. It was in a lot of things given to me by my grandmother. She dident even know it was racist.
Bro...C'mon...She knew,and she herself was racist lol Open your eyes.
I felt old the other day when I heard my coworker say that her mother was born in the 70s. The early 70s was *barely* half a century ago; we're just *barely* into the early 20s. But most of the RUclips audience, and Simon, didn't exist then.
Huh. I would have preferred the asterisks to the * barely * noticeable bold.
I'm old, and I didn't exist until 1980.
yes the past was the worst...as I sew my reproduction 1850's skirt. Fun to dress up like back then but glad I live now.
