Keep trying, City by the Bay! Signed, I grew up in Portland, but I'm quite happy to be living ten time zones away now, in Helsinki, where I ended up mostly because my wife is Finnish.

yeah including Blockbuster is like including Kodak. They should have had Sega dreamcast and Cybiko and other real failures. The Trump thing is super cringy
Ya, but you got to think about that Blockbuster and Kodak not being around no more or their bad reputation nowadays. Blockbuster didn't do Movies in the mail until it was to late and Kodak didn't see digital cameras being the future until it was to late. So you can say that they are failures nowadays, but not in the past. So, you are both right if you are not talking about the present day times, but instead when those companies were still at the top of their game.
Laserdisc didn't fail. The people failed it. Superior quality compared to VHS. No deterioration after each view although some discs failed to play after a few years from laser rot. Uncompressed high quality audio. Way ahead of VHS. It was out for 20 years before being replaced by DVD in 1997.
Blockbuster became aware of Netflix before they got big and the CEO of Blockbuster refused a proposal to go the same route. He famously said " no one will watch a movie on their computer." That's a huge failure.
the Oreos shouldn't really count. I don't think Nabisco is expecting to produce any of these wild flavors for the long haul. I think part of the fun is the anticipation of a new flavor every few months in the snack aisle.
k re, I totally disagree. Very poor management and shitty employees drove it into the ground. They had a chance to acquire Netflix and decided not to. Doesn't matter anyway. I've always had bad experiences with these drunk clowns. They frequently treated me like they couldn't care less and the assholes wouldn't even accept their own gift cards! Had to throw away a $75 gift card because they refused to let me rent certain titles with it. I'm glad they went under. They are an example of the worst customer service. I think part of it has to do with hiring very immature people. They should have tried raising the minimum working age to 21 since I've only seen high school students in their chains.
@@largol33t1 netflix would not have helped it still would have become an entirely different service and only remained in name, blockbuster was a huge success, everyone knew it everyone used it and indeed technology just put rental stores out of business, if it was only blockbuster all the other small rental stores would still exist, they dont. I think you are basing your opinions on one negative experience or one store lacking in training because I never had a problem with them or the staff here in the UK
Blockbuster wasn't a total failure... Don't think they would have made good netflix owners. Their business model was just too different. Netflix is more of a tech company with some movie production. Blockbuster was a rental retail store. Totally different ball game.
Johnhitbox agreed. Yes they’re almost extinct, but they still had years of success before their downfall. In defense of Blockbuster being a failure though, Netflix gave Blockbuster the chance to buy them but they passed. Big mistake.
It wasn't all video stores, it was Blockbuster. They weren't a huge chain because of good business practices but despite having bad ones and eventually deservedly succumbed to them.
Johnhitbox Video stores were a thing, much like a drive in. No, they were ,none of them failures, just not the best ideas. Some were great ideas whos time was too late, or too soon. The persons that came up with the museum apparently do not understasnd, many great ideas came about because someone never gave up. The person who gives up his dream is the one that fails.
There was a guy from the Netherlands who, after the was wanted to publish a book he had found. One publisher called it "Teenage drivel that, even if the context was still irrelevant, would be utterly uninteresting to everyone who tries to read it." The man was, in fact the author's father, but he didn't give up and eventually had the book published where it became a best seller. It has been in print continuously now for nearly 70 years. The book was the Diary of Anne Frank.
@@TruBluYahoo CED seems largely considered worse quality than VHS. Laserdisk was around in the early 80s, it lasted a surprisingly long time, ending up with high definition capability (albeit so did VHS/D-VHS, with very similar capacity to blueray!).
Failing has to occur in order to learn and or grow. My regret is not watching you more than a year. You sparked my interest to explore and I could have been exploring for years. You have made my life more exciting. Thanks.
RIP Blockbuster, even though I couldn't afford to go to your store when I was younger. I still wished I had the money to gaze upon all of the new releases you provided. You always had the most up to date movies and cool cardboard cutouts of movies. Lost but not forgotten. OMG, I forgot all about Orbitz!!!!
Thank you for the tour! My producing partner and I designed the exhibit for Dr. West and SEE Entertainment. Little Miss No Name was one of my childhood toys that I included in the LA museum - she's creepy but I still own her to this day. I really enjoyed your tour!
Hey Adam!! This was a really cool museum tour. Thanks for showing us around. I liked seeing what the failed items are of the past. The world of Coke museum in Atlanta tells a good history of the 2 type of cokes the classic and new. I hope this pop up museum comes to Georgia so I could tour it. Love you Adam!!
Mr. Woo, thank you for posting these wonderful vlogs. I'm learning so much. Your LA cemetery episode is great and also I enjoyed the MLK museum and motel. And thanks for your hard work.
My mom used to use Ayds. I found them in her closet, assumed she was hoarding candy, and ate several in one go. It was summer time but I got to spend the entire day inside while my friends were out playing because I didn't dare stray too far from the nearest toilet. Hard lesson learned. lol
I personally liked the Columbian coke in my 20s .Now i like old recipe coke made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup you can get at most Mexican stores in glass bottles
I don't think Blockbuster should be in 'The Museum of Failure' it only failed due to the popularity of on demand tv and movies. It was ok for many years. That said had they merged into that market they would still be here, so maybe it does.
NO way. Their employees are the worst of any brand I've encountered and it wasn't just ONE store. It was at a majority of them. They deserved to go under. The way they treated customers was despicable. Complaining to the manager got nowhere. Oh, and $3.25 to rent a movie for a measly two nights? Their local competitor offered FIVE nights for $1.99 and even had 2 for 1 rentals after 8pm on Tuesdays! Blockbuster NEVER offered deals like that.
The groove stick was meant to be used with one stick on the top of the hi hat and the other stick on the bottom. It would allow to the drummer to play faster rhythms for techno music. Drummers were trying to emulate rhythms that could only be dome on drum machines...
Oh that's neat. I assumed the point was to look cool by seeming to use more drum sticks, or maybe to hit rythum things simultaneously without having to exert extra effort. Drumming is quite athletic. I imagine if they were incentivised to try it, a few dedicated or particularly creative musicians could achieve some unique effects with these, or cut corners in a useful way. But then, lots of musicians make or modify instruments to be wacky but suited to their particular work.
This museum seems great - I am a 20 year old college drop out (hoping to return some day as I have dwarfism so a college degree will help me as far as getting any job) and I feel like in HS when I graduated there were 4 paths college, work force, armed forces and failure. People talking like this exhibit would have helped me feel okay with it a lot faster than I have. I always try to remember at my age, JK Rowling wasn't successful and Walt Disney was fired from a job for not being creative enough. Bet the guy who fired Walt was kicking himself.
YOU LEFT OUT A FEW THINGS FROM YOUR LIST... TRADE OR TECHNICAL SCHOOL AND SELF EMPLOYMENT... MY AUNT SYLVIA, WHO WAS A MILLIONAIRE, USED TO TELL ME ALL THE TIME THAT J C PENNEY DIDN'T BECOME SUCCESSFUL UNTIL HE WAS 65 YEARS OLD...

What does dwarfism have to do with getting a job , or college ?
@ I'd imagine it's because skill-based employment (the type which requires a degree or certification) places less emphasis on public perceptions of an individual than do jobs in hospitality or the service sector. I know from experience- being short and looking young- that employers in those sectors often pay and promote based on superficial judgments rather than actual competence; that what you are capable of doing does not matter so much as what it's assumed a person is capable or incapable of doing. In a skill-based job, you're being hired because it's known already that you are qualified for the job.
When our museum almost shut down they decided to travel from place to place with the museum items on a train. A small admittance fee. They ended up saved from having to close down and now get awesome displays in that people are truly interested in like Egyptian displays, with the historical narration at the push of a button. Very cool.
Thanks for the video, that was a surprisingly enjoyable virtual museum visit. I'd take a few people to go see that if it came to my town. More cool museum visits please.

Dear Mr. Woo; We feel you are suited to enjoy entering Hollywood's Actra for you to start performing background and hopefully upwards to higher acting levels,performing in all possible films, etcetera professionally. You are living there now as of today, Saturday February 23rd 2019. We are ever so grateful for your, 'family' quality You Tubes as you have influenced our daughter into happily working with her exciting background acting here in our Toronto film and television industry. Our Toronto film entrainment industry is now-a-days growing at light speed as never before. Wishing you happiness with best health and continued successes always. Thank you Mr. Woo.
Deep Digger Dan red velvet is a non flavor. It is vanilla with a little bit of chocolate and red food coloring....I call red velvet a farce food. The only reason people eat red velvet anything is because of the cream cheese icing.
The needles on the portable record player were simplicity in itself to replace. By the mid to late eighties, stylus' were contained in a plastic unit which clipped into the front of the arm. They did their job well and fidelity was great at the time. Some upmarket record players had proprietary fittings but the most common used by many brands was that red one pictured. You can still get them
3:44 Wait....are those flavors all failed? I love the PB ,always hope to get my hand on mint ,and since the red velvet has just became a limited flavor in my nation this month(July 2019) , I was going to try it.
Awesome. I'm going to show this to my students. I am a shop teacher in New Jersey and I value failure highly. In fact my grading policy is called A+ for failure.
LaserDiscs don't belong in that museum. Unlike RCA's SelectaVision discs (a much better choice for the museum), they were on the market for over a decade and were very popular with those who could afford them. When higher definition laserdiscs were released in the form of DVDs, the technology forced the retirement of videotape. It's also a little unfair to pick on Blockbuster and video stores because they were wildly popular, but it was too expensive to convert to the new technologies. Like Kodak, they did what they needed to do at the time. However, I remember stocking Ayds in our drug store. Even before the 1980's, the brand didn't sell very well.
Kodak absolutely did not do what they needed to do at the time. They literally invented the digital camera but sat on it in fear of losing business, until other companies.... went digital. I would put them in the museum as well.
Go Kermit Sewer side huh? Trump is a president world leaders actually take seriously. After 8 years of backsliding Obama and his administration gutting out and selling the country to China, daddy's home and everyone's scared of the consequences again.
Wow. Using someone's vlog about a museum as your own "special" little political platform. How low-classy. Dude, get your fat ass up, walk away from your TV set, and get a life!
Steffen Rosmus How about President Trumps Re-Election. Going to be funny watching all those leftist cry and scream. But I guess the biggest question is what is the demonrats going to blame their failure on this time?? Because we all know they can NEVER be wrong.
The Sound Burger was not a failure, in fact the design has been widely copied in the last 10 years due to it's popularity! Calling those Oreo flavors a fail is quite disingenuous, you can still find many of those in stores.
Some of these are just examples of obsolescence rather than failure. For example, laserdisc was around for about 25 years and was the high end choice for videophiles. Quality was actually much better than VHS and pioneered the use of letterboxing, anamorphic widescreen, digital surround sound and the inclusion of the extra features (like audio commentary, deleted scenes, etc) we now enjoy on DVD and Blu ray.
I think the only Blockbuster Videos are up in Alaska. Although I did hear on the radio recently that one here in Texas finally closed, the last remaining one in Texas supposedly. I was so upset, I didn't even know there was one down here! I would've made the trip otherwise.
I was saddened when I heard that. Be lucky that store lasted through two decades of brainless idiots who actually think today that Blockbuster WAS a failure. They only think this because they didn't have as much fun as we did growing up with that franchise around.
thanks for making this video. seeing how they are trying really hard to put a damper on POTUS, I am glad that I didn't have to waste 15 dollars to see this exihibit. I hope they included this exhibit in the exhibit.
Museum of failure is a "fail" they let you record the exhibit. now i dont gotta spend $15 entry. or go search the place out and travel there. thanks :)
The alternate Oreos are less failures and more designed to be occasional/seasonal items or limited runs...you can actually still find the Cinnamon Bun ones here in Target
Adam you look healthy, with great hair and beard. I’m just saying there must have been a change from your older videos. I’m happy for you. Also I do enjoy the softer intro without the theme song, this is coming from a long time viewer. Your commentary is smarter and funnier. You have progressed big time! Also those Oreo flavors sound so good.
California now has theworld's 5th largesteconomy. California's economy has surpassed that of the United Kingdom to become theworld's fifth largest, according to new federal data made public Friday.California's gross domestic product rose by $127 billion from 2016 to 2017, surpassing $2.7 trillion.
"Museum of Failure". Sounds like that should be Mexifornia's new catch phrase. Put it on a billboard out in the NV desert as you cross into the state!!
hey, i actually helped (in an odd way) this museum get their virtual boy! i had been interested in this project since it started in sweden, and i emailed before their launch. they didn’t have one yet, but my email prompted the curator to check ebay and he found one at a decent price! i think i still have the email exchange. it’s only a little thing, but this popped up in my feed and i was reminded of how i helped in a very small way.

A lot of these weren’t failures, like Blockbusters, just companies that had a niche market that went away with time, as happens continuously.
yeah including Blockbuster is like including Kodak. They should have had Sega dreamcast and Cybiko and other real failures. The Trump thing is super cringy

Ya, if they the Oreos count as a failure, then they could of had Japanese KitKat in the museum too.
Not sure Blockbuster can be considered a failure. Technology just finally ended their highly successful run.

Dusty.
Deep Digger Dan red velvet is a non flavor. It is vanilla with a little bit of chocolate and red food coloring....I call red velvet a farce food. The only reason people eat red velvet anything is because of the cream cheese icing.
Idk but I just seen them a few months ago
That was a lot of fun, Adam! Thanks for bringing us along.
LOL. Those Oreo cookies were just limited edition!
Probably their excuse for a failure! :D
You're right. Good call 👍
F in the chat
The red velvet is definitely still around
Get the peanut butter kind occasionally. They have been around for a few years.
Great video, I love watching your uploads thank you
I remember Ayds - coincidentally these were a dietary aid to help weight loss and as we know AIDS also causes weight loss
I remember them too. They always made me really hungry so were not a success.
@@hawkpaul8735 - I figured they were so chewy, you burned calories just working your jaw.
American spelling deficiencies is why we dont have AYDS today
I am so sad I missed this exhibit. This is the quality content I come to YT for.
New Coke was ok. Just tasted like Pepsi. A little sweeter. By changing it was essentially admitting Pepsi was a better recipe.
You guys are too silly! This is my comedic relief for the day. Thank you for doing this!
I've actually tried those Peanutbutter Oreos, they're pretty good
logan kerr, the pumpkin spice Oreos were good!
I wonder why the peanut butter Oreos are in the museum, they still have them... I just saw them on jet.com
I had the cinnamon Oreos a few weeks ago! They are amazing!
the golden oreos are too. i like the flavored ones better then the regular
They were delicious.
The needles on the portable record player were simplicity in itself to replace. By the mid to late eighties, stylus' were contained in a plastic unit which clipped into the front of the arm. They did their job well and fidelity was great at the time. Some upmarket record players had proprietary fittings but the most common used by many brands was that red one pictured. You can still get them

Wait....are those flavors all failed? I love the PB ,always hope to get my hand on mint ,and since the red velvet has just became a limited flavor in my nation this month(July 2019) , I was going to try it.
Mint Oreos are delicious. Taste just like mint choc chip ice cream!
Awesome. I'm going to show this to my students. I am a shop teacher in New Jersey and I value failure highly. In fact my grading policy is called A+ for failure.
I'd pull up a chair in a dimly lit corner of the museum and sit holding a sign that read:
"meaningful relationships with women"
...and at regular intervals flip the sign to read "attempts at self deprecating humour on the internet" on the other side.

You did not fail me. I enjoy watching this.
LaserDiscs don't belong in that museum. Unlike RCA's SelectaVision discs (a much better choice for the museum), they were on the market for over a decade and were very popular with those who could afford them. When higher definition laserdiscs were released in the form of DVDs, the technology forced the retirement of videotape. It's also a little unfair to pick on Blockbuster and video stores because they were wildly popular, but it was too expensive to convert to the new technologies. Like Kodak, they did what they needed to do at the time. However, I remember stocking Ayds in our drug store. Even before the 1980's, the brand didn't sell very well.
Kodak absolutely did not do what they needed to do at the time. They literally invented the digital camera but sat on it in fear of losing business, until other companies.... went digital. I would put them in the museum as well.
I love your tours, you always find very interesting places! Makes me feel like I’ve been traveling ☺️👍🏻
California needs to be an exhibit in the museum of failure.
I'm glad to see you back Adam!!!!!
Love or hate Trump; the "Make America Great Again" hat was not a failure. No idea why that's in the museum.
Because it was originally made in china and he made america a laughing stock.
@@gokermitsewerside358 But I thought the museum was for products that failed to sell/be successful.
@@adwftkv3184 true. Beats me? They did mainly just talk about the boardgame and his tv show.
Go Kermit Sewer side huh? Trump is a president world leaders actually take seriously. After 8 years of backsliding Obama and his administration gutting out and selling the country to China, daddy's home and everyone's scared of the consequences again.
7:47 OMG the best!! That stuff was so awesome with all the colors. I loved it.
Is the " war on drugs" in there? How about Beto? How about Hillary's term as secretary of state? So.many. questions.
How about Trump' s term?
How has he failed? You must mean Eric Garcetti
Wow. Using someone's vlog about a museum as your own "special" little political platform. How low-classy. Dude, get your fat ass up, walk away from your TV set, and get a life!
Steffen Rosmus How about President Trumps Re-Election. Going to be funny watching all those leftist cry and scream. But I guess the biggest question is what is the demonrats going to blame their failure on this time?? Because we all know they can NEVER be wrong.
@@darrenp428 Dumbass can't even capitalize his name lmfao
What is the failure of the Lego instruction as seen on the right at 5:35 ?
Great video! The RokBlok is the new portable vinyl player. It's crazy that Vinyl sales are about to pass CD sales for the first time since the 80's!
Joshua Chancey Really? How does that actually work?
I still have a Laser Disc machine and several movies. Haven´t used it for movies for more than 10 years, but still use it to play CDs
Hi Adam! Hope you're having a great day!!
Thumbs up, and I just subscribed to your channel. Very interesting journeys.
11:23
Only designed for Def Leppard drummers.
I only checked in to see you safely made it. Glad you did!
The Sound Burger was not a failure, in fact the design has been widely copied in the last 10 years due to it's popularity!
Calling those Oreo flavors a fail is quite disingenuous, you can still find many of those in stores.
Glad your back I missed you just recently started watching Jordon the lion to fill in.
So, does the museum closing make it it’s own failure? What a conundrum.
No, it didn't close, it's just a pop up museum that travels across Europe and the US. Sounds pretty successful to me.
It did fail to close on time...
Betamax was not a failure, it just sold less than vhs. It still sold a LOT of units.
it was super popular in japan
Mint oreos are not a fail! They are so good.
Agreed
They still bring out the mint oreos for limited runs
Some of these are just examples of obsolescence rather than failure. For example, laserdisc was around for about 25 years and was the high end choice for videophiles. Quality was actually much better than VHS and pioneered the use of letterboxing, anamorphic widescreen, digital surround sound and the inclusion of the extra features (like audio commentary, deleted scenes, etc) we now enjoy on DVD and Blu ray.
I think the only Blockbuster Videos are up in Alaska.
Although I did hear on the radio recently that one here in Texas finally closed, the last remaining one in Texas supposedly. I was so upset, I didn't even know there was one down here! I would've made the trip otherwise.
I just checked Blockbuster's website. They claim to have 6 stores in Alaska, 2 in Oregon, and 1 in Edinburg, Texas.
I was saddened when I heard that. Be lucky that store lasted through two decades of brainless idiots who actually think today that Blockbuster WAS a failure. They only think this because they didn't have as much fun as we did growing up with that franchise around.
thanks for making this video. seeing how they are trying really hard to put a damper on POTUS, I am glad that I didn't have to waste 15 dollars to see this exihibit. I hope they included this exhibit in the exhibit.
I liked the huge display of trump's failures. They should dedicate an entire museum to him.
For a Split Second, I saw a Model of the Titanic! That definitely belongs as it was a Massive Failure!
Hey Adam I have one of the first Barnes and Noble Nooks and I LOVE it!!!
There was a fight over whether Maxine Waters or Nancy Pelosi's district would go in the museum.
Did you see the giant display dedicated to all trump's failures?
I remembered a bunch of these and also the commercials of the items.
Museum of failure is a "fail" they let you record the exhibit. now i dont gotta spend $15 entry. or go search the place out and travel there. thanks :)
LOL
The alternate Oreos are less failures and more designed to be occasional/seasonal items or limited runs...you can actually still find the Cinnamon Bun ones here in Target
Actually the Oreos didn’t fail. Some of them are still available in Canada. But I can say for sure that I’ve never seen the peanut butter one here..
Those weren't really failures, they were just temporarily available.
They still sell most of those! They are at Publix here in Florida.
They are still for sale, they just sucked
How are those Oreo flavors failures? I can go and find peanut butter oreos and red velvet oreos (which are awesome btw) in the store right now.
I guess they don't get the concept of limited special items and core items
the peanut butter oreo sells pretty well where i live
I had one of the Sound-burgers. Changing the needle was easy, the top cover popped off giving access to the cartridge and needle
Ahh a museum dedicated to the entire state of California
David Fellows museum dedicated to the planet earth a failure but mostly harmless carry a gager counter don't stay too long
C R I Z L A America is a great success story as long as it holds to its ideals
Adam you look healthy, with great hair and beard. I’m just saying there must have been a change from your older videos. I’m happy for you. Also I do enjoy the softer intro without the theme song, this is coming from a long time viewer. Your commentary is smarter and funnier. You have progressed big time! Also those Oreo flavors sound so good.
A lot of these aren't even failures. Selling your company isn't a failure..etc.
So Glad you’re doing Vlogs again Adam
The whole state of california should be in that museum. Along with its constituents.
Aww man, ya beat me to it ! Good on ya.
California now has theworld's 5th largesteconomy. California's economy has surpassed that of the United Kingdom to become theworld's fifth largest, according to new federal data made public Friday.California's gross domestic product rose by $127 billion from 2016 to 2017, surpassing $2.7 trillion.
3:41. They did NOT fail. They were never meant to be in long term production. They were temporary "Limited Time Only!" flavors.
"Museum of Failure". Sounds like that should be Mexifornia's new catch phrase. Put it on a billboard out in the NV desert as you cross into the state!!
hey, i actually helped (in an odd way) this museum get their virtual boy! i had been interested in this project since it started in sweden, and i emailed before their launch. they didn’t have one yet, but my email prompted the curator to check ebay and he found one at a decent price! i think i still have the email exchange. it’s only a little thing, but this popped up in my feed and i was reminded of how i helped in a very small way.
Did you find the democratic party in there?
@ScienceFraction I bet the term "brown people" and rhetoric come out with everything you say.
Do they not have those Oreo flavours in the States? Most of those are readily available here in Canada.
To bad they can't fit the entire city in there.
Too
was blockbuster really a failure? it was around for 35 years all over the U.S. and Canada
The whole museum should just be a picture of LA.
That's what I figured too
@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump a little too much Truth for you there Vladimir! You go away snowflake!
The city is actually pretty successful, if anything the rust belt or some parts of the south should be highlighted
What about the Lazer disc player with the record size DVDs
Where's the picture of Hillary?
Some failures are just to big - even for this museum. 😀
What was the model of the Delorean back to the future car doing there?
