The Majestic Plastic Bag - A Mockumentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Narrated by Academy Awards winner Jeremy Irons, Heal the Bay's "mockumentary" video shows the stark reality of California's plastic bag pollution situation. Heal the Bay, alongside a coalition of environmental and public health experts, pushed the State of California to pass a ban on single-use plastic bags: Prop 67 passed on Nov 8, 2017. But this plastic waste reduction legislation is only the beginning. Heal the Bay is on a mission to ban all single-use plastic.

I watched this in school XD
SO DID I! XD
+Ultra Phantasm Me too
me too and we couldnt stop laughing! the teacher got so pissed she told us to shut our mouths with our lips
i just did today lol
hello fellow 10W peeps
Arcadia Men same we have to make one like this 😂😂
I love those urban tumbleweeds
Yes, they are very good at killing their predators.
Omg 11 years ago
OK, you've convinced me. From now on I'll carry my poor little plastic bags to the shore and throw them into the sea myself. [jk]
Best disions in life good job you'll save millions of bags lol 😂😂😂😂😂
@@alegriart it's a joke chill bruh
It's a tightrope with these mockumentaries...
... thus demonstrating the dangers of satire. Below a certain level of intelligence, they don't see the joke and take it as a suggestion not a critique.
@@HotPinkst17 the joke really flew over your head didnt it
“And our highly advanced high vision cameras captured a plastic bag in pitch dark for the first time in history. fENomINal”
LMFAOOO
Which is why we in South Australia banned these things years ago. Our gulf waters are so much cleaner, our marine life so much healthier as a result.
Jeff McMahon isn't the Great burial reef dying
that doesn't exist poopy bum bum
The Great Barrier Reef is in Queensland, on the other side of Australia.
jake moore you sound immature
I live in Queensland and single use plastic bags are banned here too
I used this on a presentation over plastic bags for a GT class in elementary school and it is still one of the best videos I’ve ever seen
1:46 baby getting his ass wiped lmaoo 😂😅😂
xD so funny
😂😂😂
They played this in fourth grade and we just lost our shit

Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind
Yeah...
Miss Batchelor coppy you!
+Michael Sweeney wanting to start again?
Do you mean a little pink plastic bag?
wat
We must protect the species of plastic bags lest they be endangered
Lol!

joe In my house they breed like crazy
They need to be endangered. Otherwise we’re gonna be endangered.
Lol now I just realized that the channel is called "Heal the Bay" and not "Health eBay."
But nice video, I liked it a lot.
Omg I did not realise this
Same
Nah it's definitely Health eBay
😄 😄 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't stop laughing. Drinking water was not a wise decision.
Naomi Kryształ lol me too 😝

do u ever feel
like a plastic bag
flowing through the wind
wanting to start again?
yes indeed
Cause baby you’re a plasticcc baggg
the serious depiction of the dangerous, voracious Teacup Yorkie still gets me every time :) Jeremy Irons is a very accomplished voice actor. I really feel he could have also been awesome as the voice of V in V for Vendetta (sorry Hugo Weaving)
I could listen to this man read a dictionary! Unmistakable genius of expressiveness.
This is such a creative way to let the people know what's really behind the plastic bag!
My teacher showed this to me and my class last year. She gave us an assignment. I can't believe people littler that much. Our generation needs to do more for this enviroment.
Compelling!
Dark humor
Deep message
You know you're on the weird side of RUclips when you're watching a documentary about plastic bags
no taxis ikr
dont u mean a Mockumentary lol ;)
Yeah pretty much
Judging from your comment you've never been on the weird side of RUclips.
@@WorldOfDeepThought this comment is 7yrs old
My teacher showed this to me for school-
This was the best lesson ever.
same
1:26 It takes a lot a guts to say that with a straight face and monochromatic voice.
The closing title should include, "No plastic bags were harmed in the making of this film."
i watched this in school to talk about eco-friendly stuff or something like that and when it ended there was this one student who said "so wait. the plastic bags have thoughts and feelings?" or something like that and i and the rest of the class thought how stupid that was.even the teacher told her that it's not real. she wasn't asking as a joke either. she was genuinely THAT stupid!!😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliantly creativity.
I really felt for the bag, we must our utmost to help them.
bruh the dog could have died with his head in the plastic bag-
It depends on what your goals are, and how sturdy your bag is. I've been using the same shopping bags for groceries since I moved out on my own, roughly 18 months ago. Instead of 200 plastic bags, my groceries during that time have been packaged in TWO reinforced recycled bags. That's a huge difference, and IMO if people started carrying sturdy reusable bags with them everywhere, we'd see less garbage in landfills and oceans and less petroleum&water used on manufacturing a throwaway item.
Lovew the part of capturing it in night vision for the first time, phenomenal!!!
In the world of documentary, THE MAJESTIC PLASTIC BAG is, in my opinio, a great piece. Innovative, creative, factual...it may leave sub-subjects out, but every communicational tool does! Great work!
This is truly touching and I have even watched this at my school thanks 🙏🏻
i like how they recorded it flowing and them not getting the plastic
Probably the most moving and educational documentary I've seen yet...
"literally dozens of animals" was *chef's kiss*
Heart warming... FREE THE BAGS! :,) Be free little baggy, be free..
Are you dumb, stupid or dumb?
i had to watch this at school, all the kids in class were trying not to burst out laughing.
+Camille Regan It is meant to be funny, absurdly funny. Laughing would have been fine as long as you didn't miss the point.
same here
I just had to watch it not in school but at home in classroom
What I like the most about this video is that it not just the usual kind of movies we got used to. It is more about art rather than social appeal. Definitely, love it! The idea is brilliant.
Very well done documentary. Love Jeremy's narration and the message.
We had to watch this at school me and my frenid lafte like hell in lunch
This is way awesome dude! Promotes awareness to the population... Keep making more!
Love this - so well done and informative. Plus it's pretty darn entertaining, because it's true
What a great way to make people aware of what really happens with a plastic bag!
Very well done indeed!
I CRIED SO MUCH I CRIED AND CRIED THIS FILM IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!
Great video! Success is in the bag ;)
Plastic bags are clever creatures...
We must outsmart them.
"Home to literally *DOZENS* of animals "
This is the best documentary ever made
Last month the group came to my school and talked about it. Best guest speaker ever.
is no one going to talk about the butt wiping
Fr du atze
This is easily my favourite video on RUclips.
yes i agree

Always nice to quote yourself isn't it?
James Kohls Whilst in poor taste, and I'm not sure why you're posting as if a quote that may have been published, I concur. The problem is, it's only inspirational to those that give a shit. Violetta Schmieder There's greater youtube crimes than this, I'm sure you'll agree.

Sue Mead Maybe you couldnt sence it in my comment sue, but it wasnt meant as criticism, but harmless and funny. "There's greater youtube crimes than this, I'm sure you'll agree" -Sue Mead
Nice punctuation, by the way ;D
Well done and informative. I believe this should be a "must-watch" in all grade schools, public and private. The subject is important to all future generations, as are the detrimental destruction of the rainforests and the coral reefs.
Sorry for the stupid question but are those merchant ships dumping trash, I mean are they sent out there to do it?
LOL! So halarious! My science lab teacher showed my class this and we laughed our heads off! :D
Gabriella and Makayla Eldridge same
Absolutely phenomonal
This music is amazing. Somebody know the name of it?
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched.
This is a great idea. It really shows the story about the bags.. We should really work on fixing the problems in the garbage patch..
“The most Lustrious creatures...The plastic bag.”
I almost Freaking died of laughter when it said that 😂
Wow! This was AMAZING! And it teaches people without lecturing! I learned & laughed & I feel inspired. Thank you!
i love his voice, so classy :)
I am a California transplant.....Went to school in Huntington Park, Calif. since the 5th grade in 1964 to HS graduation in 1971.....Climbed the mountains of the Sierra and the deserts in the late 1970's.....I am now almost 61 years old and live in Miami, Florida, but the Southland is still my home....It will always be my home......California continues to be NUMBER ONE in environmental protection, and that makes me proud.....What happens in California spreads to the entire nation....Here in Florida, cars use unleaded gasoline and have catalytic converters thanks to California's pollution standards from the 1970's.......Car companies and oil companies had to change their stubborn ways and make cleaner cars and gasoline for California, and because of California, the whole country reaped the benefits of cleaner air......( They were not going to make clean cars for just one part of the country ) .......So keep fighting for the environment there as we also do here in Florida.......CM González, ( Sierra Cuban ) Miami, Florida, Estados Unidos de América
I can't believe this video was posted in 2010. This video was way ahead of it's time.
"...the yorkie's talons..."
so beautiful. i cried.
My teacher at the end said " it's horrendous" lol
In my area in NY state they are still everywhere but at least often be reused and returned to the markets for recycle. This video is a great message, fun, and very well done. There's hope for the future yet!
I love this so much every time I see a plastic bag in the air I just stop what ever I am doing and I watch it like a fat kid watches cake
I watched this in school I couldn't stop laughing its so weird and random but good job making this

This was four years ago... what grade did you get?
My teacher showed this in class. Best documentary ever.
I saw this months ago and still remember this video every time I see a plastic bag on its journey
Im watching this in my english lesson in 2021 lmao
2:20 "Home to literally dozens of animals!" LOL
Is it just me ho saw this comment just at 2:20
This was awesome!
Now I wanna make a mockumentary for a class project XD
Very powerful 😢
***** I'm unclear on what you mean by "it's rubbish." If you are saying you think this is a stupid video, I have to disagree. I mean mocumentaries might seem like a stupid thing, but really they are pretty hard to pull off, and are, in my opinion, comically genius considering the principle is to poke fun of something, make it funny, yet use documentary techniques so it needs to look serious, and the actors need to sound like they aren't in on it. This video I think was very well done, and it even had a promotional message in it.
No you idiot. He meant that the plastic bag itself is rubbish. Jeez.
prove it
CNN Breaking News Report. Jake Tapper here, plastic bags are rubbish and a waste of space.
And if you bring your own reusable bags. What will you then use as binliners?
wow, how majestic and beautiful
We watched this at school ;-;
Is plastic bag species is now endangered?
+robert ocampo If only...
Fredico Finjay What?
robert ocampo If only the plastic bag was endangered.
Fredico Finjay Oh ok
+robert ocampo You dumbass, the Plastic Bag is a *sub-species* of the common Paper Bag. The key difference being the Plastic Bag is much quicker and agile as it is found in urban areas and must escape from the territory of any Foam Cups that they enter (As they are very aggressive if provoked.) The Paper Bag on the other hand, lives in forests where it can camouflage with surrounding trees.
Maybe next time he should just pick up the plastic bag
That was extremely well done. And we need to use reusable bags, not plastic ones.
Watched this for my environmental politics class. It's both hilarious but also very brooding simultaneously. Definitely a powerful message!
Very informative!
i never knew that a plastic bag was a creature!
Who else is watching this for school
Me
So rare... I hope I can spot one before I die! They look so majestic!
So by washing them people will use more energy and water.
In the middle of a drought.
Is this really the best outcome?
What about reusable bags?
Anyone from Germany here who also have to watch this for school and summarize it?
who else is watching this for 2020 online lessons🙄✋
Phenomenal
props to the camerman for flying
we so need one for Australia, especially with 5 of the 6 species of marine turtles living on the Great Barrier Reef. Great vid!
Good film but disgusting outcome.
Wer kommt auch aus der 9e hahaha😂😂
Wegen Frau Bohn 😂😂

Congratulations on over 2 million views! Sadly, a plastic bag followed my teenager home today... ...and so we had to watch the video AGAIN! Even better the second, and third time around!
I think banning plastic bags primarily raised awareness (although I have yet to find a study w/ proof of this, just have seen awareness spread from personal experience). It's a good step in the right direction, just not the end-all solution. Overall, people just haven't adopted the habits that will lead to a significant reduction in widespread plastic waste. If I use my resusable bag for 4 years and only have the option of getting paper when I forget it, that still amounts to X amount of plastic bags that won't ever end up in my hands. The ban is a bandaid. We need campaigns that meet people where they are and physically impact people in their daily lives. Most people won't make changes otherwise. We should be re-thinking all systems that still promote plastic use in other areas. E.g. using refillable containers at grocery stores or compostable or cloth bags for produce instead of plastic that's still there. Also, wonder what would happen if we taxed companies for using plastic when they could use something else?
