- James Bond. Men want to be him and women want to be with him. Who else wants to be with him? Sony - much to the disapproval of Daniel Craig himself.

Can I just paypal ya 20 dollars to be the sponsor? Just have Karl say something like "Oh, My buddy Jerrod has a huge cock and all the single ladies should contact him via email"
Absolutely. I'd find that hilarious. - Karl.
Tomorrow's payday, tonights the night I figure out what I want you to say...
Commenting just for notifications of this comment...
If you guys go through with this ... You're both fucking legends!
Brad... Don't mess this up man.
This has to happen!
Fact Fiend - With Karl Smallwood has it happened?
If there was a phone ad with Ewan McGregor saying "Hello There" I would buy that phone in a second
It would be indestructible when you drop it since you would have the high ground.
Huzzah a man of quality
I feel like James Bond would use a Nokia 3310, simply because it's so durable it can stop bullets.
I'm with Karl, I'm sticking to whatever brand will keep the headphone jack.
The freedom of being able to choose is better.
I have both wireless and wired headphones. Wireless is great when you're out walking and don't want those wires catching on your clothes, but the wired ones are indispensable when the fucking battery invariably dies because I forgot to charge it before leaving the house.
Oh, and as a bonus, my wired headphones don't intermittently switch between English and Chinese. "欢迎使用智能语音控制耳机。 连接。"
I have a similar thing with Sdcard slots and dedicated physical home buttons, not many new phones have those.
Long live the headphone jack!
Taking away the headphone jack adds nothing to the product. It only removes an option.
Until Bluetooth doesn't produce absolute shit tier sound Wired is king. Music is meant to be enjoyed not to be turned to mushy overly compressed and tinny trash at a hefty premium. The headphone jack costs like nothing literally cents in the production of a phone. There is absolutely no reason to remove it. Aesthetics? Please don't BS me all phone are black rectangles nowadays. Sound Quality? that's garbage bluetooth is still worse almost 20 years since it became common and it's not even close in terms of sound quality.
So in place of the trademark " Vodka martini. Shaken, not stirred." do they instead use "Swill. Green bottle, not brown." when Bond orders a Heineken?
If James Bond only uses the best, would he use a Henry hoover?
Bond uses a Corby to keep them suits looking crisp.
I nearly shot my beverage out of my nose reading this!
Yes
@@Whalester better hadn't have been Heineken
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT! "henry mico" IS FUCKING HEAVY AND HUGE!
I forgot that Hoover is interchangeable with vacuum in Britain. It was really funny to hear you say "Dyson Hoover"
6th Wilbury I actually say "Zee" but when I'm saying the letter "X" I pronounce it "Xed" or "Ksed"
i thought they started talking about henry hoover
Its really funny that you find this funny
I kind of enjoy it when Karl gets angry. You never know where Angry Karl will go next.
Rebecca Arnold ikr ^-^
Karl's amazing, doesn't everyone want to have a pint with him? he's awesome
Okay, someone needs to make "Angry Karl: The Game" and have it optimized for Sony phones.
"Heineken: at least we're not Coors."
that's like "Cleveland, at least we're not Detroit" lol
madscientistshusta
My dad drinks Coors light
"Coors light: for when they don't have bottled water"
honestly if you are an alchoolic who drink everyday, coors light is the safer way to go a imagine..
Since we're shitting on beer brands already anyway, fuck Blue Moon.
Keep your oranges out of my beer, ya bunch a weirdos. That shit's gross.
Calvin Lee
I actually quite like blue moon with some orange in it. It's very different from othe beers at that point and I get why people wouldn't like it.
it is a bloody nice sweater tbh
Dude if you ever get the chance to own an N. Peal do it fucking worth every penny my Grandmother bought me one.
oh god yes
oh yea not cheap
Try this company look them up Naadam
If you're talking about Adam Sandler product placement don't forget in little Nicky when Popeyes chicken stops demons from killing everyone
king james488 it's good shit
Right on! Dyson is a company that spends more on advertising than engineering, puts out cheap plastic crap, charges an arm and leg for it, makes it impossible to repair, and convinces people it's great!
And Henry is verifiably both the cutest and most badass of vacuum cleaners!
I was sitting on a bench having a sandwich and a runner is jogging by when the ear pod falls out of his ear a dog appears out of nowhere and makes off with it i got a cramp from laughing i doubt the man ever got it back and if he did i doubt he used it again
“he focken chugs it” *takes a single gulp*
You have to make product placement subtle or hilariously over the top.
I actually like the Power Rangers one.
Liked that rant better than the episode... Innovative products and the future and such is great but living in a disposable world of carefully engineered planned obsolescence is maddening!
"Trend towards the wireless headphones"
Nah, I feel like they _forced_ the wireless _because_ of this design change.
I think he would use a black berry because it’s known for security
Hell, even Apple has an unyielding stance on customer privacy and security and refused to make backdoors for the 3 letter agencies. Don't care for their products, business practices, attacks against the right to repair movement, and sabatoge of third party repair companies, but that is one area in which I respect them
Skitflow 5.0 That just reminded me of something. My dad swears on Apple, but I have a friend whose family doesn't use Apple products, not because they think Apple is too expensive. No, her father has met Steve Jobs, talked to him and he thought Jobs was a complete asshole.
I detest Sony because they made my life difficult when I worked in phone retail. By far the most returned phones due to warranty issues were Sonys, and because of the way the screen is constructed a tiny crack completely disables the touch screen. Then there were the numerous times when I'd have to explain to an irate customer that their supposedly waterproof phone couldn't be repaired because our Sony repair partner had found liquid damage, so the warranty was void.
Sony used to offer tons of incentives to the staff to recommend their handsets over other brands but the majority of the staff I worked with wouldn't bother because they knew how unreliable they were.
I second that motion. I used to work for a competing brand at a local retail store and the guy manning the Sony corner at the cellphones aisle didn't gave two pieces of crap about his brand. He knew that their products are overhyped and full of flaws
I have to say I had the Z5 and the screen sucked.
@@koryhaggert2848 I must say that Sony phones are the odd ones out, I have a Z5 C I purchased on launch and its still almost as good as day one, even the 2-day battery life. It's been abused so badly, nearly all the paint has come off the edge (and I never used case or screen protection too) but it still runs perfect. But my first Sony phone (Xperia GO) experience was terrible - The screen completely shattered when the phone was sitting under the sun. I feel as though the design intention is absolutely spot on for the average user and that's why I stuck with Sony, but you can see the lack of phone manufacturing experience. It seems that you either get lucky with your piece or not.
The wired headphones are nice though. Mine have survived the washer for at least two times.
Another shitty trend:
Non replacable batteries in phones. This was basically the only decisionpoint on my current phone: It needed to have a replacable battery and it also should have somewhat good hardware that's not like 3 years old. Good luck finding such a phone...
Sadly companies will never go back to replaceable batteries. Having a sealed back allows them to pass water resistance certifications.
Melvin Klein I just bought the galaxy note 4. Replaceable battery and more features than the note 9. Best of all 150$ delivered to my door.
Pretty sure replaceable batteries were done away with in favor of features like waterproofing and wireless charging.
Some of the funniest stuff you guys do is shitting on brands
I'd sponsor you and happily be roasted, it's a good laugh! Brands need to take themselves less seriously
Heinkeken: "WHO IS VODKA MARTINI, AND WHY IS SHE CALLING YOU AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING!?!?"
As someone who cleans a museum with very few outlets every day, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that wireless vacuuming is a godsend but the museum isn't the same as a house and even our vacums have interchangeable battery packs
Interchangeable battery packs sound like a huge deal there. Especially if you have an independent charging station, it just eliminates down-time, as well as making batteries a normal "consumable" as their health deteriorates, with replacements being a normal scheduled expense rather than an expensive repair.
In light of recent news, Krispy Kreme having a murderer eat their doughnuts on film is hilariously on brand
I love how Karl openly uses GREEN PROPS ON A GREEN SCREEN
James Bond was definitely using a Sony Ericsson phone in Casino Royale. I remember this because I had the same exact phone he was using in it.
Definitely came here to say this. I didn't have that one but I did have a Sony Walkman slider phone for a bit. 😂
The rant against planned obsolescence spoke to my heart.
I would actually argue that the product placement in Jurassoc World kind of makes sense. I mean, it's a theme park full of dinosaurs: what corporation wouldn't want some of that obvious green?
Also, they destroy a starbucks onscreen, and as someone who hates coffee, that is amazing.
The bad product placement in JW is Claire's Mercedes they crowbarred in with it's features and long lingering shots.
On that note Jeep and the original Mercedes design are still more connected to the brand with iconic designs and weren't paid for.
of all product placements, I love the Krispy Kreme Donut one in Power Rangers, as it's a funny scene with Rita eating one, and then as their fighting Goldar, they just occasionally say, "we gotta protect the Krispy Kreme" "keep it safe." and then it's eventually destroyed.
I love the fact the British put a face on and name their shop vacs xD
After watching several of your videos, all i can think of is that scene in eurotrip when they are on the bus with the soccer hoolagins, listening to some guy on a tear about something, and the only response is "man, you guys are on a completely different level of swearing over here"
I haven’t heard “poon- hound” in a long time and I can’t stop laughing haha 🙌🏻
I love how he doesn't actually want his phone to do phone things. Like phoning people.
I went to an outdoor cinema sponsored by Heineken so the only beer that they had was Heineken and it wasn't great.
I will say tho it seems like you hate it more than me
Its not my favourite but I still had 2 pints during and hour and a half movie. Less than my usual but you take what you can get
I still use my Xperia Arc from 2011. The both of us became kinda attached.
It has gone to a lot of abuse on construction sites and hiking tours.
It lost a few chips of plastic but is still running strong.
I get the feeling i will never get a feature rich and reliable phone like this anymore. Not even from Sony.
Dyson vacuum cleaners usually come with 5 years warranty, however, that warranty does not include the £70 battery, which when I was working at an electrical retailers, customers would come back after a month saying that the battery was dead and wouldn't charge.
-No Head phone jack
-No Porn.
No service
Wow, $45M would do a whole lot to pay for the production of a movie. I wonder how much Austin Powers 2 got.
Sony has done better than using 'sleek design' as the excuse for removing a feature. Years ago, they used a similar excuse to defend an actual design flaw, when people reported that the Square button on the early PSPs would get stuck because it was placed too close to the screen. (The excuse was not well received. Sony fixed the problem in future versions of the PSP.)
I understand the reason for the removal of the headphone jack being that manufacturers are trying to make phones thinner and removing it saves quite a bit of space and I personally don't use the jack myself but I would like to always have the option to use it. There is also the fact that Bluetooth can not transmit the audio in as high quality as wired headphones.
I thought it made sense when bond drank a Heineken.. It was like the movie was subtlety saying "this is how broken down bond is" like he had given up all hope of surviving the year
i love that you use “hoover” as a word for vacuum.
i use “coke” for any kind of soda
...Disgusting.
I Call carbonated drinks pop or soda I don't call it coke because I'm not from Texas
You live in a different place of course the language is gonna be slightly different
I say coke only but by that I mean I’d rather not drink any other brand lol. In restaurants Pepsi is acceptable and that about it
The only time I watched a James Bond movie was with my dad. we watched skyfall in the cinema and as soon as the song skyfall came on at the beginning I fell asleep and woke up at the end credits
This video is a Henry add disguised as a tirade against Sony. I'm looking at how much they are online as we speak. Cheers, Karl.
We don't have Henrys in the US, but it looks like the same idea as a Shop-Vac, and those are definitely good vacuums. You can clean up a construction site with those. I'm not exaggerating, I've done it. You tear out a wall, and you've picked up all the big pieces, but everything is covered in dust and there's gravel-sized bits of drywall laying all over, and you can clean it up in a few minutes with one of those. You can clean the caked-on mud out of the floor of your car with one of them. And you just open it up and dump it into a trash can when you're done.
I, Robot - I remember the product placement in that being ridiculous. In the first 30mins I can specifically remember FedEx, Audi, and Converse allstars
Sony pictures pretty much owns the Bond franchise. The last one I watched was Casino Royale, which Sony used to heavily promote the new PS3 and the Blu-Ray format. Casino Royale is absolutely loaded with Sony products. Sony phones - used by Bond and everyone else. Sony security DVRs with obscure recordable Blu-Ray media. Sony VAIO laptops. Sony TVs and displays. It's obnoxious.
jevansturner I think Sony are selling the licence last I heard....
jevansturner it's owned by MGM and they're replacing sony as thier partner with universal for the next one
Krispy kreme does make you audibly moan irl though, especially when they’re hot and fresh
I use a 4 gallon (just over 15 liter) rigid wet/dry vacuum around my whole house. Thing just doesn’t die. Sometimes I put a whole trash bag in it so I can just take put the bag and throw it in the trash when I’m done. Thing was like 40 dollars. I don’t get using those 200 dollar stand up vacuums the only good thing about them is the brush roller for carpet.
My wife and I inherited a Dyson ( one of those weird ass ball ones ) from her parents when we bought our house. I am unsure how old it was but it is still going strong 9 years later in 2021. Not all Dysons are shite.
Wish they'd still did Heineken export ! It was one of my favs in the pub next is 1664.
I look for a phone that has a good camera, good battery and good processor. I hate iPhones because they force you to stick to their products, and their products aren't even that good.
I absolutely DIED from that 'pride and acomplishment' battlefront refrence hahahahaha
Fun fact: James Bond is actually used as a case study for Business Management students at my school.
You missed all the other "Krispy Kreme" moments in power rangers that was just flat out hilarious!
that got super real and kinda dark in the last few seconds... loved it
14:20 Karl in trinidad the wireless handset is $200-400
Honestly speaking I prefer headphones Jack to wireless 1) it is less expensive to buy a headphone with a jack than without one.
2) you don't have to wait for your wireless headphones to change if you are the type to listen to music for long period of time.
3) if someone tries to take your phone from your pocket you will know from your music stopping.
That story about the apple earbud launching from the treadmill got me laughing so hard. I'm hooked on your channel for 2 weeks now
We use Henry's at the hotel I work at. They last for like 7 years, 20 rooms, every day, we have one for each floor.
Nah, I’d definitely go for a cordless vacuum.
I would've loved to see Bond take one swig of the beer, make a face of disgust, say " This beer tastes like shit" and throw it into the ground, breaking the bottle. It would be so out of character and it would be great.
i prefer wired connections over wireless for anything, because wireless is unreliable and slow compared to wired connections in addition to the requirement of charging them all the time and having them run out of batteries always at the worst possible times, it would have to become as good or better than a wired connection AND wireless power would have to reach an effective long range stage for me to even consider it and that's just not ever going to happen
The thing is, a faster wireless connection also comes with less range since the wavelength needs to be more condensed, which makes it more difficult to pass through objects. That's why 5ghz on your router has less range than 2.4ghz
There's this pair of earphones I love with all my soul (Panasonic ErgoFit). They are the most glorious, comfortable, bass boosted pair of budget earphones in the world, I've gone through some 10 pairs over the years. Problem is I can't find them anymore, only a freaking bluetooth version, and I'm fairly certain Panasonic intentionally stopped making them so people would gravitate towards the bluetooth version :(
Our dt department has a ten+ years old Henry that us elusive used to hoover up sawdust, mdf chips and sewing pins. It still works fine...
that fucking wayne's world scene kills me everytimeeee
I have great Phillips headphones which I got on sale one day just thinking "they look like they'll stay in my ears" and I haven't gone back for 5 years! They stay in my ears and the music quality is great. I stood on one, and you could just push it back into place. Dropped them in a puddle, had them in the wash once or twice and they kept going. They're also the ONLY pair of headphones that can work in my brother's busted ass phone. They're wicked I ain't leaving them behind for wireless junk.
my henry is 9 years old. its sucked up vomit.... still smiling. they are amazing.
My favorite thing about Jurassic world is that they were somehow able to squeeze a dinosaur movie into a Mercedes Benz commercial.
Tetherd wireless headphones are a blessing tbh.
with you 100% on planned obsolescence Karl, knowing how to hack your electronics really goes a long way in preventing that, but that doesn't stop it from being horribly wrong
Watching this video, I keep being reminded that I saw Jack & Jill in the theater. In my defense, it was on a school trip.
There's a great reason despite having a pixel 2 that I use my corded headphones and when I need to charge, swap over to a shitty pair of Bluetooth headphones for the short time it takes to charge.
Ive got headphones with a detachable cable. Its great because even when the cable eventually fucks up the audio I can just pop a new one in that costs like £1-2
Genuinely the best product placement is the one that doesn’t exist, Aston Martin cars, martini and the Walther PPK handgun for example
In regards to headphone jacks, I don't use them but I feel for you needing a certain feature. I'm still not over the loss of physical keyboards. I miss the original Moto Droid
I loved that the movie Evolution had a plug for Head and Shoulders shampoo and they never got a dime for it. Also 30 Rock does a great job making fun of product placement.
On the topic of the phone. They could have used the phone but as a burner phone- his breaks in a gunfight or something so he walks into a store, buys it, calls up whoever and they’re like “who’s this” and he goes “it’s me, phone broke needed a replacement”
Thing is... I've been really enjoying my Sony XM3 headset for a year. Once you go wireless, you won't go back even though it will hold half a charge in five years. Doesn't matter since I will upgrade by that point.
I've used LG for about 4 years they're pretty good. Also about the planned obsoleteness thing I have a pair of 1980s sony walkman headphones I got from ebay.
I also have always used Sony phones cus of the walkman section. The walkman phones also always came with better quality jacks and such so it genuinly sounded better.
Nowdays there is still some good audio control software which helps it sound better in the xperias. I think they call it clear+ or something, but I've heard from a friend that they want to remove that as well because it doesn't work as well over BT... Probably because older BT devices don't have the bandwidth... Well I guess they have a solution to that as well... BUY OUR BT HEADPHONES!
7:43. Oh man, if they'd had an exclusivity deal. Bond spends the entire movie wearing the sweater and nothing else.
In Fleming's books Bond drinks whiskey more often than vodka martinis.
I've heard that it was Smirnoff that signed an exclusivity deal hence why he is known for drinking martinis
Getting rid of the headphone jack is like getting rid of wheels, they are old and we "don't want to cling to the past"
I fell like if Adidas had Bond where them, it would probably be him running and exersicing
To be fair to Sony, i had the Experia Z3 for 4 years the only reason I replaced it was because I dropped it in water without the covers on the ports. Worked great until the end.
My wireless headphones also have a headphone jack, so when the battery fails it still uses the robust method of transferring sound information.
My phone is a OnePlus 3t. I'm now devoted to the brand as long as they keep up the quality.
2:21 never noticed what he was drinking in the movie just knew he had a Beer 😂
16:30 Which video does he talk about hoovering up water in? I cann't be arsed to browse through all the videos to find out more about that story. Anyone with a link? Much appreciated.
It took me longer than it should have to realize you were talking vacuums...
Removing the jack is a money saver thats the real reason
"...you're gonna be in trouble with the Coca Cola company."
in the walking dead, the car never gets dirty because of sponsor contracts
Those Henry vacuums are like mini shop vacs
Adam Sandler also did a subway commercial in the middle of happy Gilmore.
In line with the earphone thing. I bought a newly released (at the time) phone. It had a headphone jack, even though part of its release promotion was giving away $150 wireless earphones.
Heineken? Fuck that shit...PABST BLUE RIBBON!
The "i dont mind the taste" is exactly what Deadpool would do but he didnt
He does order a martini in Spectre, but they don't serve alcohol.
the real reason for some is it gives space for battery but for most it is to sell bluetooth and save on production cost
