Yeah, your mistake was buying too many and not selling enough. Your second mistake was of course assuming any decent amount of people would want a copy of Time Cop.
@LucianDevine if people can't appreciate the seminal scifi schlock starring Jean Claude Van Damme that is TimeCop then I've lost all faith in this world.
He's talking about if you're in Cartman's shoes, where you're gonna buy Time Cop anyway. So, if you manage to sell the 2 spare copies for $8 each, then you're essentially getting your copy for $2 instead of $9.98. You're not making money, but you're saving some.
He also has his own morals concerning friendly betting. If I say "Devin, I bet you $1 million that you and I have different race" he now owes me $1 million. I always thought the other person needs to say "I take that bet" or "deal" for the bet to be on but thanks for straightening me out. I'll be waiting for your money transfer. This was really not his day 😂😂😂
Did you guys see how Cartman totally blind-sided Kyle with that betrayal? He TOTALLY got him! You'd think Kyle would start to suspect him at some point, but nope!
Well, in most cases, you do have to spend money to get money haha but buying up cheap dvds to try to make a few extra dollars is definitely a dumbass idea lol especially in 2024 haha
Yeah, but you gotta spend the time to find the buyers for 2 movies. And assume they'll both pay almost retail price for them. That effort isn't worth the tiny profit in the case of these DVDs
if i had a penny for every time Randy sold out to a sentient groceries store i'd have 2 pennies.. which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice..
the secret for the prices of these supermarkets is that they buy in bulks, the more of a product they buy the less the shipping and logistics cost, you should see the storage inside this things they take up a 3rd of the building, because if you secure the sells you dont worry about advertisting, because by being in a super market already gives you some exposure, and the exposure comes from the way the building is designed, the food and other necesary items are in the back while expensive and trivial items are near the entrance and cash registers, you will end up going around the whole facility just to buy a milk carton, they will also sell at loses to attract more clients in the form of special discount offers and retain them with loyalty point cards. The downsight is that other smaller local stores cant compete with them, so they end up closing, when that happens the supermarket will take advantage of that and then rise the prices and cut the discount offers, is not hard to conclude that the people working on those places are very unhappy, they would work there for decades and never get any kind of promotion, that why it is a common work opportunity for young people.
It's not necessarily that they're rural versions. Walmart original color scheme was red before they switched the blue and yellow we're used to. Rural one just haven't updated
I had to watch this in my government/economics class in high school, my teacher kept dying everytime I'd mimic the voices, safe to say I've watched 20 times in my senior year😂, class of 07
15:04 i still have one of the old blue plastic bags that says roll back with the smiley face. i kept some old puppets in it when i was a kid and i still have it in a box
In the beginning of the video the moment you turned your head sideways I had scrolled down to save the video to my "watch later" playlist, it looked like you tried to keep eye-contact with me because you just barely stayed in frame 😂
if you start with $18, spend it on 3 copies, then sell two for $8 ea. that's $16 dollars back... you are still out $2. If you sold them for $9 ea you would be saving the people 0.98 but you would break even. Hobbs said it - there is no profit unless you sell it for a higher price. Also, Kyle never agreed to the bet. Walmart is originally from Arkansas but not Bentonville, it is from Rogers instead, also originally called Walton's Market. The boy's camouflage is a reference to the Lost Boys movie and the scene at the end with the man in the suit is a reference to the Matrix movies, and the end scene where Walmart implodes is a reference to the Poltergeist movie... minus the crapping itself. That bit is all South Park. Lastly, the Morse Code bit at the end was a reference to Independence Day the movie. With Amazon stores, it is purely to pick up your order. You don't go in and shop you just go there to pick up what you ordered online if they have it in stock. I haven't used it but there is one near us and that is what I am told.
I’m not sure if y’all realize- you just saw one of the funniest Butters moments ever! He’s playing “monster” out there BECAUSE ITS KIND OF SCARY 😂 just “kind of” (remember when you were a kid with no money and you just had to make up games to play outside?) the GOOD OLD DAYS 😢
Suitable that you'd post this on Black Friday. Coincidentally, the blu ray for seasons 6-10 of South Park (which includes this episode, from season 8) is on sale right now for $30 at Walmart.
They opened an Amazon market a few miles from where I live in Sacramento a couple weeks ago. No doubt they are looking to take the place of Walmart, Target, and the rest of the box megastores.
The time cop question is a commonly misunderstood aspect of finances. The correct answer is if you sell them for 8 dollars, then you're getting 0 profit, and are loosing 2 dollars. Now 2 dollars might be a great deal for you for a copy of time cop. but you can't call it profit, you've still lost money. You have to sell them for over 9 dollars to gain any actual profit. This is a common trick of the mind that stores use to sell things, gotta be smarter than their marketing. 😉
Hobbs is thinking like someone who's only watched the recent seasons of South Park, back in the day when a Whale Wars came out there was no continuity, every episode of South Park was basically a standalone
I went to college in West Virginia. It was a 30 minute drive on the freeway to Wal-Mart and literally the only sign of the 21st century in the entire state!
Dude, Devin is right. If other people are willing to buy Time Cop for $10 at the store then they are more likely to buy it from you for $8 so that they save $2. So If you sell 2 for $16 total, after having spent $18 for 3, that means that you ended up getting that third one to keep for only $2.
If you pay 18 dollars for the first three copies and turn around and sell two of them to earn back 16 dollars...then the net effect is you lost only 2 dollars for the single copy of Timecop that you wanted. Which is definitely a steal :)
Im pretty sure you’re math is off but I cant seem to think of the answer either so its all good Edit: actually now it kinda sounds right🤷 but it aint worth the hustle for $4 unless you already had 2 people lined up
5:46 Yes, there used to a double amputee at my Wal-Mart greeting everyone. I wasn't sure if I should be happy that at least he was working rather than just collecting disability or if I should be sad that his job basically served no purpose and actually set a sad tone for entering Wal-Mart?
Boys… Movie 1=$6 Movie 2=$6 Movie 3=$6 Total paid=$18 After you sell: Movie 1=$6 value (but you’re keeping it) Movie 2=$8 Movie 3=$8 Total in-hand=$16+movie 1 $18 you paid at the beginning, minus the $16 cash you made back from the extra copies, has you ending up paying $2 for the movie. Yeah, you profit $4 in value if you include the price of the movie you’re keeping, but you still paid $2 for that movie to “Wall Mart” lol. If you resold the movies for $9 each, then you’d walk out with a free movie (but the buyer isn’t really saving anything).
We actually have limits here on chain stores for this very reason. They have to be a minimum of so many miles apart and away from downtown, to limit the impact on local businesses.
So this shit is how it actually happened, in the late 90s there was this huge thing of people not being ready for a Walmart. Literally Amazon is bigger than Walmart, digital shopping destroyed stores in my lifetime. Block buster killed local video stores, red box killed block buster and Netflix killed red box. The world has changed so much since the invention of smart phones. This episode is a time capsule
I was in your neck of the woods in “Oregon” for a few days back in May. Buc-ee’s is insane. I got a brisket sandwich and it was delicious. OT is cool, but we have Kwik Trip up here which I prefer. That’s legit like a small grocery store. Though the hot food at OT is way better being made to order.
As far as the dvd part goes lol If you buy 3 for 18 and sell 2 for 8 a piece. What you end up with is basically you got to get your dvd you kept of the three pack for 2 bucks. You got your dvd for $2 if you sell the other 2 for 8 a piece
6:14 I got my copy of 'Time Cop' for only $3:99 used a Blockbuster. While that was in 1994 so I should factor in inflation it was a new movie at the time which made its value higher.
You spend $18 for 3 copies of Time Cop, then sell the 2 you don't want for $8 a piece, assuming you sold both, you'd have $16. You went from $18 to $16 and a copy of Time Cop. You didn't technically make a profit because you spent money, but you did get that copy of Time Cop for only $2 which is still a steal. Not a profit, but not bad either.
17:20 how would that bet make any sense if you have to wait for one party to die to be able to determine who wins the bet?!?! He was definitely speaking in general!
I was thinking the pauses at the beginning of your videos were progressively getting longer. This time I was about to answer y’all because it went on so long, lol.

Y'all shouldn't do math on camera 😂
This ain’t the first time, either 😩
devin needs his own second pair of headphones
U rite
Life's just not fair.
top tier financial advice!!! pay for shit you don't need !!! But hey you might look cool!!!
@@deminybs I'm pretty sure A.J. Brown isn't hurting for money right now. 😆
He has earbuds underneath
I listened to Devin, and now I have 586 copies of Timecop.
I have not watched the reaction yet, but I can already see how this happened lol
I will buy one of those if you give me 20 dollars good sir.
586? You got a sweet $18 coming your way
Yeah, your mistake was buying too many and not selling enough. Your second mistake was of course assuming any decent amount of people would want a copy of Time Cop.
@LucianDevine if people can't appreciate the seminal scifi schlock starring Jean Claude Van Damme that is TimeCop then I've lost all faith in this world.
"It's simple economics, son. I don't understand it all."
Always gets me.
I'm glad Devin gets it...oh wait 😂
7:58 brother Devin... Please don't start a business!! 😂😂
he’s right tho😭
I don't even get what his logic is supposed to be lol
No… he’s not lmao. You buy 3 for 18$, you sell two for 16$… you’re 2$ down and have one copy of time cop hahah.
@@masonbeasley5719 Exactly. In addition of you losing $2 now you have a Timecop DVD to throw away 🤦♂️
He's talking about if you're in Cartman's shoes, where you're gonna buy Time Cop anyway. So, if you manage to sell the 2 spare copies for $8 each, then you're essentially getting your copy for $2 instead of $9.98. You're not making money, but you're saving some.
Remember.. they went after the Miami DOLPHINS. The South Park cows are not safe
2:25
They not gonna do the children like that
*1940s japan sweating nervously*
Randy really putting out for Walmart is crazy
i think devin has his own brand of math and it only applies to time cop dvd's
He also has his own morals concerning friendly betting. If I say "Devin, I bet you $1 million that you and I have different race" he now owes me $1 million. I always thought the other person needs to say "I take that bet" or "deal" for the bet to be on but thanks for straightening me out. I'll be waiting for your money transfer. This was really not his day 😂😂😂
7:44 you two need to stay away from maths 😂😂😂
“By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked, this way comes.”
Did you guys see how Cartman totally blind-sided Kyle with that betrayal? He TOTALLY got him! You'd think Kyle would start to suspect him at some point, but nope!
Damn Devin doing girl math thinking that he can spend money and make a profit😂😂😂😂😂
Well, in most cases, you do have to spend money to get money haha but buying up cheap dvds to try to make a few extra dollars is definitely a dumbass idea lol especially in 2024 haha
i mean that's just called investing
Yeah, but you gotta spend the time to find the buyers for 2 movies. And assume they'll both pay almost retail price for them. That effort isn't worth the tiny profit in the case of these DVDs
"girl math" is not a thing, you use emojis and prolly listen to joe rogan
Damn I was second! Well caught this while editing a video for Reel Rejects 😂 Hope all is well Hobbs and Dev and Happy Holidays.
"The last thing you do when you die, is to crap your pants."
love when butters says he's just playing monster cause it looks spooky out here
if i had a penny for every time Randy sold out to a sentient groceries store i'd have 2 pennies.. which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice..
the secret for the prices of these supermarkets is that they buy in bulks, the more of a product they buy the less the shipping and logistics cost, you should see the storage inside this things they take up a 3rd of the building, because if you secure the sells you dont worry about advertisting, because by being in a super market already gives you some exposure, and the exposure comes from the way the building is designed, the food and other necesary items are in the back while expensive and trivial items are near the entrance and cash registers, you will end up going around the whole facility just to buy a milk carton, they will also sell at loses to attract more clients in the form of special discount offers and retain them with loyalty point cards.
The downsight is that other smaller local stores cant compete with them, so they end up closing, when that happens the supermarket will take advantage of that and then rise the prices and cut the discount offers, is not hard to conclude that the people working on those places are very unhappy, they would work there for decades and never get any kind of promotion, that why it is a common work opportunity for young people.
This episode is underrated 😂
There are red Walmarts, they are in rural areas, typically. They are less common.
Foreal? Never seen one is it a community Walmart?
It's not necessarily that they're rural versions. Walmart original color scheme was red before they switched the blue and yellow we're used to. Rural one just haven't updated
@@codysatterfield1596 I once saw a dollar general with a gas station in a rural part of North FL didn't know those existed lol
They went from red on beige to their Current blue and yellow scheme....Canada was blue and red for quite a while!
I love this episode so much 😂
Not me cracking my neck, and yall saying my name at the same time. 😭😭😭😭 scared the shit out of me
11:52 I love 'South Parks' use of references to 1982's 'Poltergeist.' They keep showing up again and again!
30:51 love how the cashier is still ringing-up Randy’s order
I had to watch this in my government/economics class in high school, my teacher kept dying everytime I'd mimic the voices, safe to say I've watched 20 times in my senior year😂, class of 07
2:26 😂 It's South Park, of course they will! C'mon, Devin! Lol!
15:04 i still have one of the old blue plastic bags that says roll back with the smiley face. i kept some old puppets in it when i was a kid and i still have it in a box
Devin was trying to sells Hobbs his two copy's of timecop 😂
The "We know how to Destroy it Now" and the Telegraph is a Reference to the end of the first Independence Day movie.
The long pauses are actually the reason each day turns into a Shit One. Thank you Hobbs ❤
3:03 "When you die, your jowels release and crap comes flying out your ass". What an absurd image 😂
Devin in 2004: Hey bro you like movies? *opens trench-coat full of Time Cop DVDs*
The math here isn't mathing for me lmao 🤣🤣 appreciate the reaction tho fr.
devins math is hurting my head 🤣🤣
bro is on some terrence howard shit lmao
Quick Trips are awesome - fast and clean
Just gonna skip past the first 45 minutes of dead silence
Difference of perspectives! Devin sees it as getting his $6 copy and making a $4 profit. Hobbs sees it as subsidizing the cost of his copy down to $2.
Gotta obey Walmart those low prices are no joke
Fun fact: while Wal Mart doesn’t have a chain in the United Kingdom it does own the Supermarket chain called ASDA in the United Kingdom
In the beginning of the video the moment you turned your head sideways I had scrolled down to save the video to my "watch later" playlist, it looked like you tried to keep eye-contact with me because you just barely stayed in frame 😂
Some warriors would fast an entire day before battle in order to not do that when they died. Some said it's not their problem lol

Well hey fellas 😂
29:00 I've watched this episode many times, but this is the first time I've noticed this! 😂
Naaah give it up on math please 😭😂
The way to think about it would be that you're getting your copy of Time Cop for $2, you're not making money but you're saving $7.98.
Dude, Devin is right. If other people are willing to buy Time Cop for $10 at the store then they are more likely to buy it from you for $8 so that they save $2. So If you sell 2 for $16 total, after having spent $18 for 3, that means that you ended up getting that third one to keep for only $2.

Another great episode, thanks guys :)
Boys…
Movie 1=$6
Movie 2=$6
Movie 3=$6
Total paid=$18
After you sell:
Movie 1=$6 value (but you’re keeping it)
Movie 2=$8
Movie 3=$8
Total in-hand=$16+movie 1
$18 you paid at the beginning, minus the $16 cash you made back from the extra copies, has you ending up paying $2 for the movie. Yeah, you profit $4 in value if you include the price of the movie you’re keeping, but you still paid $2 for that movie to “Wall Mart” lol. If you resold the movies for $9 each, then you’d walk out with a free movie (but the buyer isn’t really saving anything).
Caught that "$15" joke, Devin, wonder if Hobbs knows about that joke yet.
We actually have limits here on chain stores for this very reason. They have to be a minimum of so many miles apart and away from downtown, to limit the impact on local businesses.
Spend $18, get $16 back for selling two movies, you bought Time Cop for $2. if you don't want it, sell all 3 for $24 and make $6.
I’m grateful for these videos
I got 3 copies of the same movie at Walmart for 9$ 😆 the Blue Ray copy, DVD copy, and digital copy, which is saved on my phone now.
So this shit is how it actually happened, in the late 90s there was this huge thing of people not being ready for a Walmart. Literally Amazon is bigger than Walmart, digital shopping destroyed stores in my lifetime. Block buster killed local video stores, red box killed block buster and Netflix killed red box.

Devin should teach a class on the wild ass girl math he tried to walmart our way.
37:52 - I enjoyed this reaction.
2:28 unless the team is all made out of Kenny clones and Pip is still without a helmet. That team is DOA!
If you pay $18 for 3 copies, sell 2 for $8 each, you basically paid $2 for your copy and saved $8
I was in your neck of the woods in “Oregon” for a few days back in May. Buc-ee’s is insane. I got a brisket sandwich and it was delicious. OT is cool, but we have Kwik Trip up here which I prefer. That’s legit like a small grocery store. Though the hot food at OT is way better being made to order.

As far as the dvd part goes lol If you buy 3 for 18 and sell 2 for 8 a piece. What you end up with is basically you got to get your dvd you kept of the three pack for 2 bucks.
You got your dvd for $2 if you sell the other 2 for 8 a piece
no shot tho i could see desire "walmart" being one the new gods in that "american gods" tv show
Hobbs all focused on the COLOR of the Walmart not that fact it's spelled WALL Mart with 2 L's.
*I lost IQ listening to the math…😂*
If you buy it $18 and you sell it for $16, you lost $2, and you have a DVD of timecop.
6:14 I got my copy of 'Time Cop' for only $3:99 used a Blockbuster. While that was in 1994 so I should factor in inflation it was a new movie at the time which made its value higher.
Just got some food, thank you Hobbs and devin 🙏🏽
You blinked. I win.
You spend $18 for 3 copies of Time Cop, then sell the 2 you don't want for $8 a piece, assuming you sold both, you'd have $16. You went from $18 to $16 and a copy of Time Cop.

Worked at Walmart for 4 years, quit 6 months before the pandemic!
Best decision of my life!
17:20 how would that bet make any sense if you have to wait for one party to die to be able to determine who wins the bet?!?! He was definitely speaking in general!
Finally got notified early early 😂😂
Oregon?!? 😂 Come on we know where Bucees and QT are.
Hobbs...tell A.J. Brown to get back to practice. He plays the Ravens on Sunday.
I swear I'd totally let you guys do my taxes
Great reaction video! Thanks!
that independence day reference at the end^^
Kwik Trip is a really good convenience/gas station
I was thinking the pauses at the beginning of your videos were progressively getting longer. This time I was about to answer y’all because it went on so long, lol.
Jim’s Drugs prolly got NyQuil.
Lmaooo, if you spend 18 dollars and make 16 back, you really spent 2 dollars, meaning the copy you kept cost you 2 dollars (a steal)
Y’all boys from Dallas 😂 I remember y’all mention NorthPark Mall
3 for 18...you sell 2 for 16. Your profit is basically getting your own time cop for 2 bucks.
After this episode it comes to show. South Park can barely handle the temptations of a Walmart. How do you think they'll do with a Whole Foods
Number crunching with Devin
Low effort sun! 😂
