This video is nearly 13 years old and somehow printers have not advanced whatsoever
indeed, what makes it so hard to basically take words and pictures on your computer screen and put it on paper?
oh hey silokhawk, what are you doing here?
Me: *Laughs in eco-tank printers
Because it's too profitable to produce the same 20 year old printer that breaks down easily, but with a new fancy case on the outside, with a different shaped ink cartridge that you can only buy from them.
Laser printers
Never let your printer know you're in a hurry. Printers can smell fear.
Afonso Markmann My printer usually needs to think about it for 30 seconds before it finally decides to print out what I asked it to. (Granted, sometimes it cheats and just spits out a blank sheet of paper...)
Afonso Markmann AND I SMELL PRINTERS... and i don't like it.. o^o
Steve: lol ur so dumb
Me: SHUDDAP!
You can say that again. I swear to god printers have developed awareness and are out to make us all miserable.
LOL this is so true it hurts. The have a "in a rush" detector to make and automatically goes into turbo failure
Afonso Markmann This is why I do school reports on paper.
"I just want to print out some MapQuest directions!"
A relic of a simpler time.
Only a true Geek would know lol
Or a more inefficient time
Are you prepared for an unforgettable luncheon?
Or my dad today even though he also uses the GPS
Much simpler to use Google maps live. Rose tinted specs, mate
You can tell he's not even acting. He really hates printers
He was to angry to even act.
Can you blame him?
600th like
Everybody hates printers.
I mean, at least everyone used to hate them.
This is probably the angriest I've seen James in a video, joke or not. Considering his character's name, that may or may not be saying something.
I can understand, I've been screwed over so many times at work and at school because of printer problems.
I don't even think he needed to 'act' for this one. Printers are FUCKIN' BULLSHIT! Every time they pull this cartridge nonsense I want to yank them out and pelt Carly Fiorina with them!
fountainhead .
@@coolnerdlll6053 Both of them were from mid-2008, maybe James was just stressed out with his life at that time?
Most of your YNWBS videos are you explaining the problems of the subject involved in a slightly raised tone of voice, but in this one, I heard true and extreme anger in your voice. Anger that only a printer can bring on a person.
An episode like this was most likely created whilst he was actually trying to get his printer to work.
Anger that only an INKJET printer can bring on a person! His beef is with inkjet printers; laser printers get a pass.
You know what's bullshit? Ink Prices.
I want to buy piss that came from an octo-ass. AND IT COSTS A FORTUNE
***** Only in America.
+Master Xehanort WTF? you know how much colleges in the US charge students for using their printers? that is bs
***** its like 40 cents for black and white and 60 cents for a colored paper on top of that a 30k a year tuition -_-
***** good lord... education has always been way too expensive here which is BS
Can you believe it's 2017 and all of this is still relevant?
Alex Hunt Still relevant in 2020
well except for the MapQuest directions.
DON'T BUY HP PRINTERS...this shitty company be doing this garbage in the video still in 2020 and this video was published in 2008!
Yes, and that's why its bullshit
Gonna be relevant until possibly 2042
Thirteen years later and this issue still being relatable...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
15 years?
YEEEEEP!
The shocking thing is that this video is 11 years old and and still just as true as back then.
Home Printers were like 25 years old back when the video was created. Printers will never change.
I am thoroughly convinced that printers are the reason the Amish exist.
Lmao
Possibly the most underrated joke in existence.
Legit hahaha
lol makes sense.
what
this is the video is totally relatable. printers are such assholes
Figurative Sandwich
Printers
Made by: ACME
I agree.
Makes sense, because instead of your documents that you so desperately need, all they push out is shit.
A printer ad played before this video.
Oh wow.
Coincidence?
^beat me to it....
+BasketBall Coach I think not!
+Stage Lined Ad blocker and you're all set.
The word document example is the fricking SCRIPT for the video. Wow.
+SquarePantsMan1 I actually noticed that when I saw this video the day it came out.
+SquarePantsMan1 I just noticed that! Made me laugh :D
+SquarePantsMan1 Printing PDFs can be harder than printing Word documents though due to unrecognized characters.
Meta af
I actually read it before even watching the full video
The printer ate my homework.
+Dobre Narcis I have trouble writing on paper, but I'm much better with typing. Old ways are not the best ways, if they were, we'd be cutting down trees with sticks with rocks stuck halfway through them.
***** Is that supposed to be sarcasm? Are you calling me a troll? Are you saying that your comment was a troll? Elaborate.
***** It's not my fault I have some weird issues.
***** What even is a moral compass
+Dobre Narcis - Florin You are the one who acts like a troll.
HP needs to be held accountable for their crimes.
All hardware manufacturers should as well, not just HP.
Canon too, I swear.
Man, I swear 3D printers are actually more reliable and easier to troubleshoot than a regular printer, which is so backward.
It's funny how you mention 3D printers cause I'm 90% sure those were considered science fiction at one point.
Wow, really? I tought 3D printers just added another dimension of problems...
@@SpinoRexy733 normal printers were probably considered science fiction at one point too
not according to Linkara
@@Colddirectorpretty much most technologies are at one point considered Science Fiction.
Some Printers actually won't let you print in Black just because you ran out of Magenta Ink... =_=
Now that's BULLSHIT!
just happened to me right now. That’s FUCKING BULLSHIT
That could mean they're working for the KKK
ummmm.... what?
I'm a computer engineer and even I gave up on commercial printers years ago. I just go to my local library to save myself the headaches of owning one
No one cares!
Let the man speak.
Words of wisdom.
@@BatLB, speak for yourself. I don't care about your opinion on Bill's opinion.
Speak for yourself, I don't care about your opinion on his opinion on bill's opinion!
I always bust out laughing when he says, "I SHUT THE FUCKER OFF" 😂 I love how ANGRY he is in this one, it's my favorite.
0:20 oh my god, the fricken script to this video XDD
Sonicbandicoot holy shit, I can’t believe I didn’t notice til now 😂
Just noticed (:
HP is the fucking evilest printer company on the planet. You can buy a fucking gallon of ink for 5 bucks but those teeny tiny less than 5 oz cartridges can cost up to 20 dollars! A monopoly at it's worst
Agreed, HP sucks
+Timeforheroes1985 guess what? HP just bought samsung's printer business!
Daniyal Ahmed :O
tripleknockout EPSONMASTERRACE
Well, atleast they make monitors and laptops
This video is 100% true I have never in my life been able to print something succesfully xD
I'd be damned to get a printer to actually on both sides
It was true except that my Epson printer only jams if I used wrinkled paper. It became false once I switched over to the Epson eco tank printer.
Mommy had printer problems yesterday, took hours of messing with software to find out it’s actually the INK
Fun fact: The cartridges are built in such a way that only a portion of it has ink. It's like the NES carts. So, you have to buy more overpriced ink because they didn't give you a full product.
Cool.
+Manassia Karasev No, that's BULLSHIT.
so...like potato chips?
THAT'S BULLSHIT!
@@vagledip5190 potato chips don't have a chip that measure the level of potatoes, consume more potato chips as it tries to clean the opening and your shelf doesn't reject it if the code on the bag doesn't match.
So modern video games? Lol
I wish he was more like this in his newer videos. He sounds like he's actually mad.
I know right
Yeah now he sounds like he's trying to be mad. Still love him though great guy.
Yeah :(
You should see his batman games review as the nerd he really sounds mad.
Remember, James is married so that's why he was pretending to be upset
You know what's bullshit? Wifi enabled printers. They never want to connect properly!
thank you
You're correct.
Wifi printers are in TheCluelessRUclipsr's Nonexistant Dictionary of bullshit exactly 72 times.
+LT Gen Klink At least the laser technology reduces your ink debts.
LT Gen Klink Network meets Printer. Admin does not approve.
I've been using my WiFi laser jet for years and it's never given me any connection issues. It's probably bullshit for people who aren't tech savy. :P
Fun Fact: It’s cheaper to print with human blood than with printer ink
This comment has been approved by Dolores Jane Umbridge.
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 lol
This might be one of the only few times we've actually seen James legitimately angry this definitely feels like his real raw anger.
That's got to be the funniest funkiest You Know What's Bullshit Episode :)
Nice one ;)
Dude, even I couldn't take of stop laughing though, this episode is too funny.😆
@@cyber-thundr_ This is the one episode you _know_ wasn't planned and came into being out of pure sudden frustration.
100th like
Last year I was at Office Max with my Mom, because we needed new supplies. I saw the fancy Epson EcoTank printer that takes bottles and not carts. I debated it, then thought back to this episode and bought it. One of the best decisions I made.
this is the funniest bull shit episode
ho2da it is
ho2da I agree
FACTS
It's his best video imo
Lol watching this after I just bought a new printer and had to go through this whole bullshit setup process.
Among the 20 released BS episodes, this is the one I feel that has the most legit complaining. I mean, just listen to that anger in James' voice, it's almost genuine.
Plus it helps that so many people of the world have this problem as well.
And now you have to either have an account or have WiFi just to print stuff.
Absolutely, what nonsense
The reason I keep my job is because of shitty printers lol. I work in the IT department and printers consume 80% of my time. If it weren't for them I'd already be fired because I'd have nothing to do.
You sir, are a brilliant! The one ubiquitous piece of equipment that is integral to any business, household and any environment that produces the printed word and the on piece of equipment that is guaranteed to FUCK UP each and every time, YOU are the dude who sets the infuriating pieces of garbage straight!
Champion among the proletariat. Thank you, sir. Have a beer.
Proud to be amongst th humble working class, that's my motto!
So you're basically as worse as a nazi.
I'd be happy for a job like that I think.
I'm sure even the printers at your job fuck up lol
I'm an IT and I would rather rebuild servers than fix printers.
For a video critiquing printers in 2008, this video has aged incredibly well. Printers are still BS to this very day, from the machine not printing when you want to print something, the ink still being wet when the paper comes out and so many more problems, too many to list here.
This video is just as relatable/relevant today as it was 16 years ago.
@@jturner2577 To quote the B.S. man himself: "It's like we're going forwards in technology, but only making our lives bullshitter."
This is still my favorite one. Everything he said is still true. Printers haven't improved in the 13 years since this was uploaded to RUclips.
Whenever I have a problem with the printer at work I always comeback to this video
I found this to be one of my favorite episodes of _YKWB_, it's hilarious how angry James gets.
...not to mention it keeps saying that it is offline. That's stupid, I turned it on and it is suppose to be online. Also when it is on and I wanted to print right now, but nooooo, it takes forever then the next day to print my document out, especially when I am in a hurry on a meeting. They don't have the tab that says "Turn Printer Online" and Turn Printer Offline" whatever that is. That's frustrates me the most. That's bulls***!
My good ol' HP 920c never ever failed me, after 12 years of service. It has both USB and LPT, so it's backwards compatible with older machines. And very good print quality even after all those years. It takes 1 minute to warm up the cartridge after being turned on, and can print even without colour one. It's definitely not the fastest one, but for me, won reliability award. Not a single wasted paper.
hahaha you probably using the "wrong" printer, some computers install a "virtual" printer and if you don't select your printer as default it will try to use that "virtual" one and everytime will say "printer is offline" well that use to happend to me, is bullshit tho
I have not have this problem
Damn this is too funny, I had the same model printer that you used in the video! Just like with you, it kept fucking up. My dad kept on trying to fix it while I wanted to get rid of the damn thing.
Yeah, and don't forget the old DOS/Windows (3.x-9x) era, when the system would completely halt showing you a BSoD whenever the sheet of paper gets stuck or the printer was low on ink. That was trully bullshit!
I don't own a printer anymore. Whenever I need to print something, I carry the documents on my USB drive to the nearest copy center. I'd rather pay 5 cents per paper to them. Because for the price they charge you for the ink, you could buy a new printer!
This video is a decade and a half old and it still hits hard
No printer is as bad as the one I have. Before I print something, I look over at and see It sitting there plotting it's next move like a bond villain. When I hit print the production begins: Please insert paper. (plenty of paper is in it) Ink is low. (new carts are in it) No matter what I try it will not print on command and, a few days later, when i try and print something else it prints what I had been trying to print before. I keep expecting it to print a page with the words: I am afraid i cannot do that, Dave.
I had a printer that did something similar. I would turn it on and try to print something. I would hit the print button and wait. The printer either immediately shuts off or automatically or it powers itself down from being idle for too long. My computer never said mentioned anything going wrong. Not low on ink or out of paper (usually) and it can contact the printer just fine. There is no indication that anything went wrong. I would turn the printer back on. Nothing. Off and on again. Now for whatever reason it is showing print progress (but only sometimes). Nothing is printing. What?! I'm not exaggerating when I say: Depending on how my printer felt that day, what I was trying to print may FINALLY COME OUT three hours later (usually in hot pink or baby blue only). But it wouldn't just print it, it would print it anywhere between four and eight times. Sometimes, I would need to print out a copy of a PowerPoint for a school project. If it was, for example, 15 pages long, my printer would try to print anywhere between 60 and 120 pages. I would understand if I hit the print button a billion times, but I usually don't. If it didn't do that, it just wouldn't print. Once in a blue moon, it will print it like half of a day later, but at that point what it printed for me was useless because I'm already at school.
This is, by all factors, the perfect video. Perfectly written, shot, edited, everything.
Blue and red? That means there's no yellow. Yellow ink imprints faint security dots, so if you print money, FBI can track your exact printer.
prrr opop modern printers actually have decent enough print quality to fool most people, so if you get the base of the bill right, you may buy a thing or two before someone notices. Especially in countries with less sofisticated bills.
Besides, it's not just money. There's a ton of illegal stuff or stuff that can be used as an evidence against you that you can print.
+prrr opop If you know how to properly print things out, you can do that but you can't just use any kind of paper......and any kind of printer....
Lacorey Anger well obviously, its not really worth the effort anyway for the punishment of being caught.
Lacorey Anger I think you'd have bigger more pressing problems than just money in third world countries.
It's not just for money, it's for literally everything
"You're low on coloured ink"
"HERE'S TEN FUCKING PAGES IN COLOURED INK SHOWING YOU YOU'RE LOW ON COLOURED INK"
This is probably the angriest James has ever been on camera. This or the Batman Forever review.
We live in 2022, technology has progressed so much, we have VR for recreation accessible from your own house, but printer is still the same awful machine since the 90s
Planned obsolescence
No, printers aren't the same as back in the 90s or 2000s. They're even worse now.
Now we're in 2024
The only printers that work well are in library's.
1:21 the sound of our old printer :)
The only good side to a printer is that the fresh printed paper has a warm soothing feel.
Honestly that warm comfort is the only thing that keeps me going at work
I miss when James sounded authentically angry
this was his angriest times of his acting. perhaps it was too aggressive he toned it down as he aged
Printers are most def the WORST electronic device ever
Decenium It class. Chapter in printers. Most common problem
It's been 15 years, 15 YEARS AND PRINTERS ARE GETTING WORSE
16 years.
This episode will never NOT be relevant.
True printers have not changed at all
0:35 when she agrees to go out with you but brings her best friend
Yesterday, 2 important pages to print... I have a printer since 2 years, no problem at all (incredible)... The same day inks merged themself I don't know how but they did, I wasted the full 3 color because I cant remove only 2 of them... Hopefully I had a "back up ink pack" in my desk... Then the paper was destroyed everytime for no reason, it couldn''t print... I removed the full "box" and kept only the important parts of the printer, fixed the problem and finally after all the bullsh*t the connexion between the computer and the printer failed !!! I used the CD to instal all drivers again, fail, fail , fail. All this sh*t the same day! I was MAD. I went to the print-store and it took me 1 hour of driving for 2 damn sheet of paper... damn!!! I hate printers!
I watch this when ever my printer acts up.
Can you believe it’s 2021 and all of this is still relevant?
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz Except for that.
I love the way he throws the cartridges on the floor with anger

“Print out some Mapquest directions” lol
That’s when you know a video’s old
This holds up so well. The line delivery is just incredible.
“Trying to print out Mapquest directions...”
Wow, this video really is a decade old.
Aged like the finest wine, still true today. Printers just only got worse 😂😢
this video is 14 years old and still holds up perfectly
God yeah. And the print options are a nightmare. You end up with a tiny version of what you saw fill a page on screen. What does it do with all that ink, too? What do they put in it that makes it so expensive, pure cocaine?! Nobody knows how to fix a printer that refuses to do what you ask it. IT experts just click around in hope, open the lid, scratch their ass. It mends itself when and if it chooses to, and whoever touched it last gets the credit for it.
I think printers are the biggest pain in the ass in life, or at least part of the top 5. Also what's with the overpriced ink cartridges?
Ink is in jeopardy,thats why it cost so much,its still like 30$ though o.0
+Kevin Vega I've seen it for like $60. What is it made of? Dragon piss?
Giordan Diodato
Yes. HP found a dragon to systematically drain out its excreta and use it for commercial purposes.
2016 and printers still bullshit.
Not when the printers have built-in continuous ink systems
It's amazing - and frustrating - that so little has changed in 9 years.
Out of all the YKWBS episodes, this one hits the closest to home because it's still 100% accurate after 12 years.
lol mapquest anybody remeber that? having print out directions, now we got gps built into our phones.
crazy how that's completely outdated just 6 years later
Stefhon Walker well technically we don't have gps on your phones
My family still uses map quest
Stefhon Walker I use mapquest because I don't have a 300.00 phone.. I have a prepaid phone that I call people on
Pansy Flower Yeah i remeber when i use to have a tracfone :(
As someone who almost got into a fist fight with my own printer, i can confirm.
His anger is greatly justified.
0:36 when you get clothes for christmas
Only when you’re 12 years old
If only it was a cool picture
You will probably actually spend less money if you just go to the library to print something off
@Vikrinox Most people have this fear against "wasteful" spending. Even if it makes no economic sense, it just seems somewhat crazy to get rid of a printer just because the ink ran out. New ink cartridges might be in effect more expensive but they're also much smaller, making them look preferable.
Also another Bullshit about printers is that some of them with a scanner won't scan without ink. Like WTF!?!? Scanning consumes ink!? ... Now that's Bullshit!
It’s been 16 years now and it’s the same deal.
You know what's also BS? When the ink stops working after only a few pages.
"PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?!"
Letter is a paper size and it is telling you to load it, so it means it's out of paper. Unless there is paper, which means it hates you. In either case, you must give it an offering before being blessed with your TPS reports.
This is still relevant today sadly.
Not to mention ink is expensive as hell and i have to refill time after time instead of buying $30+ on ink.
At least you are able to refill, most places won't even let you do that.
Hey James, I once worked in an office. printing newspaper booklets. I feel your pain over a thousand times.
12 years later and it's still fuckin' relevant!
I think this is the angriest YKWBS episode
That and the Traffic Spikes video
They haven't changed, lol.
Good thing a lot of documents are digital now though. Still, a shipping label or something is still a nightmare.
Year 16 since this video uploaded, and printers have yet to fundamentally improve.
seriously love these bullshit uploads
That's why I'm using *only* LASER printers.
Elìa1995 Nah it’s lazer. you don’t say LASER.
We got a laser back at my parents' place.
It's better in that it doesn't ask for ink every 5 microseconds, but it's worse in that it eats paper. Like, we got it 10 something years ago, and I don't think we EVER managed to print ANYTHING on that printer without SOME paper jamming issues.
10 and a half years later, this is still 100% accurate. We have failed as a species.
LOL
The older printers that we had in the 80s are BS but today, we have Lazer jet, you don't have those brackets on the paper edge to wory anymore.
This is so funny. I hope James makes more like these. I'm sure if he asks fans to submit ideas in comments, it's going to be good!
"I hate printers! They give you nothing but SHEET!"
Dang I just finished watching AustinMcConnell’s video on why printers are terrible and than came across this. I can’t believe this video came out 14 years ago and printers still haven’t improved and it’s now 2023. Sad.
Agreed, although I've had less trouble with laser printers
I don't know why, but this always been my favorite episode of YKWBS.
mine too
Map Map directions give me the chills and nostalgia
I feel like James would be a great stand up comedian, these shorts are hilarious, I feel myself getting frustrated with him lol
Here from 2000's Web on Twitter. Great video!
