Haha that's awesome. I, too, was a Price is Right fan on sick days. If you've never seen the Dane Cook bit on The Price is Right, you should check it out!
Well James and Jeff, you certainly couldn't go wrong with The Price is Right. I actually had my grandfather tape it while I was in school, I loved it that much back in the day! I have to give credit to Drew Carey for doing a fine job since 2007, he is who he is and no one can change that. But one thing for sure, Bob Barker was amazing when he hosted it!
@@Freakinreviews I had to go watch it again! Young Dane Cook floppin' around on stage is always gold! The bit starts at 1:30 ruclips.net/video/7KCUQogtwoM/видео.html
the lack of sizzling high volume intro noises, the fact that he goes directly into the content with no faffing about, the fact that he actually demonstrated the product in use, BEST review channel EVER
I have an issue with it! It's sloppy and if you fill it all the way it can be tricky to place it in the fridge. Something with a lid on it would go a long way to making it better. As of now I use ice bags that has compartments that forms separate ice cubes when frozen. They are disposable so not really a good alternative but they are easy to use and doesn't have to be placed carefully in the freezer so they are perfectly flat.
I surprisely have issues with an ice cube tray. My hands have issues includes shaking and loss of sensation. I only fill up my trays half full because of the fact that I'll shake and lose half the water any way. My husband bought me oversized silicone trays and they are quite wobbly and I still lose half the water. I've tried trays with lids but I can not usually get the lid down properly.
@@freshbloominclothing Well his statement is more along the lines of "who has issues with ice cube trays that can be solved by these inventions" Most of these wouldn't help you, even with half filled trays you get just as much ice if not more than these, they always come with over complicated ways of filling them, or over complicated ways to get the ice broken lose to get it out, issues closing them or screwing the caps on and off, etc,etc.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 Same here. I have a tiny freezer (room for about three frozen pizzas and then it's full) and I don't use ice cubes that often. So these bags are a hygienic and space saving alternative.
You know you love this channel when I remember every review and every product! Thank you for all your hard work in each review. You really make an effort to make each one work and give us a honest opinion.
Ha! Shelf drops at 11:15 then 11:29 make for laugh-out-loud high comedy. A classic moment to include in an opening sequence. Thanks for improving the day, and for all the super-helpful reviews!
All I can say is, "Thanks for spending your hard earned money, to test these products, so the rest of us don't make the mistake of wasting our money on them. You rock."
I mean, yes and no. You can get freezer or plastic smell in your ice. Just buy a cheap separate $150 ice cube maker and you'll have fresh ice in 15 minutes.
You know raycons were created/founded by Ray J who is a known r&b singer and Brady's brother so my point is if Beyonce's husband could and did create/founded beats orginally beforw he sold to apple then why can't another in the music industry create a just equally good product.. -Mercy(Sorry for the name confusion I am on my dad's phone)
You are one of the only channels I watch every episode of. Most will have me hooked for a few weeks, but I’ve watched you for a few years now and never leave disappointed. Live for these end of year vids too! Thank you for all your hard work throughout the year!
"It was marketed as a next gen ice maker but it should be marketed as a next gen brain freeze maker, because I was just left with a headache trying to use this product." C'mon I thought you had a brain freeze joke ready for that one!
The tactical razor didn't work because you weren't in a combat zone. Many times soldiers will bust out an electric razor on patrol. Pulling security and behind you you hear "brrrrrrrrrrr." All you can think is: "that guy is gonna look good for the enemy."
I Love the facial reactions you make on some of your reviews. There are times when I would think about trying something but then see your review really helped whether or not to buy. Thank you!
2020 sucked. You helped us all get through it James. Honestly I've never bought an as seen on TV item that lived up to any of its hype. I used to waste lots of money on that crap, now its just time watching you proof all of this flim flamery for me. Keep it up!
7:14 When I was younger (90’s) there was a product called Chill Out. Best stuff ever. Spayed it on and it cooled you right down. Even took the pain out of sunburns. Had a light lemony scent. It was awesome so of course it doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
There is one good use for alien tape - set dressing. I've used it before for some shows and it worked great for hanging things like picture frames on painted plywood walls. Since it's a temporary set, it doesn't matter if it rips up the paint
The beer can opener would have made more sense if it had a rotational hook in the middle that hooks on to the tab so you automatically pull the top with you when you take the opener off.
Bio plastic utensils and cups are usually made from PLA a bio plastic derived from the starches of plants most commonly corn. The plastic only decomposes when it is placed into a extremely hot compost pile.
I love your channel and your reviews. You have an upbeat attitude that really makes for a great watching experience. On these countdown lists tho, the animation for each count takes a bit too long. 10 seconds in between each item just to tell us the number we are at really breaks the immersion in the video. But, I love that I can trust your opinion about these items since you are not sponsored. Keep up the great work sir and thank you.
The tac light isn't too bad. It's not a big deal obviously but it's solid and bright enough, at least, after I ditched the 3 AAA batteries and put in a rechargeable I used to just make my own flashlights by buying a cheap one and modifying it with RadioShack parts. This is like that already done for me but in metal

When you were talking through the tech amplifier I kept expecting you to start giving instructions on how to buckle your safety belt and where the eggs are on the plane.

I have to say, I do reference you a lot when people talk about As Seen on TV products. When my friend sees them at the drug store, she always wants to buy them.
Back in the late 70's or early 80's a kind of plastic beer bottle was introduced that was supposed to be bio degradable. I remember this as at the time beer cans were still made out of steel and you could often find them rusting away in the bushes where some people tended to throw them. These new beer bottles was supposed to help with this by breaking down quickly if they were thrown in nature. They were only available for a few years before they were phased out. A few years back I found a site where someone had put up pictures of one of these bottles that he had put in a flowerbed in his garden. He had taken one picture a year of it, and at the time there were more than ten years worth of pictures on the site, and it was already at least 15 years old on the first picture. Despite the bottle being marketed as being bio degradable it was still not showing any sign of breaking down even when it had been exposed to sun, rain and frost for at least 25 years. A few years later plastic bags made from corn starch became a thing. These were also touted as being bio degradable. And they were, it's just that it took several years for one to break down to a significant degree. The bags were available for a long time, but after the first two or three years the "bio degradable" part was toned down and disappeared from the marketing blurb. So just because someone says a plastic cup is bio degradable I'm not going to take their word for it.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 your examples are garbage early attempts from the 70s and a bag that takes a few years as opposed to hundreds or thousands? What other ridiculous opinions do you have? The way you think they work is dumber than soaking them in tap water hoping they will dissolve. There's a log in my back yard that's been there for years and is just starting to break down. According to you it isn't biodegradable.
@@rogerszmodis My point is that just because someone claims it's biodegradable it doesn't mean it actually is, or that it breaks down fast enough to make much of a difference. In the case of the cup tested you said it can be composted. Have you tested that? Did it work? How long did it take? If it took more than a year it's not something I'd like to have in my compost. If you use "bio degradable" as a selling point you better provide some info on just what time frame you are talking about. Oh and I've got one more example of a bio degradable product that didn't measure up. It was a toilet that collected the waste and sealed it in a pouch. The idea was that you could install a decent toilet where there were no plumbing, and you didn't need to install a septic tank. The sealed pouches meant that it was hygienic and odorless when handled. The big thing was that these poaches were bio degradable and it was recommended that you just dug them down and they would decompose in a year or two. An uncle installed one of these and used it for about six or seven years. He had a large field where he buried the waste as instructed and things was looking good. Now after he died his son was going to plow that field and discovered that not one of these stink bombs had deteriorated noticeably, and it was more than ten years since the last time any thing was buried there. Just because someone claims something is biodegradable doesn't mean shit. Except in this last case it really meant that the shit was still all fresh and gooey many years later.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 yeah i'd like it if it was at least honest like "hey if you bury this bag of shit, put it somewhere where you won't hit it because this takes aprox 100 years to decompose completely" or something like that. That way you can kind of sort things out. quickly bio degradable stuff can go in compose where this weird stuff that can take many years can be put somewhere where it won't get in the way. It also means that its not really a replacement for littering- which i think some people kind of get that idea. yeah- it might degrade in 25 years instead of 100 BUT animals and shit can still choke on it, which is still a huge issue with the ocean, and a lot of the people that buy these things at least want to help with that to some degree. SO i'd say they aren't "lying" but they are hyping things up too much to really matter like what you said before. its not really good for compose OR keeping animals out of danger so having "earth friendly" or "bio degradable" with no context just seems like a quick ad to me- and it works for a while.
Same with "biodegradable" dog poo bags. People tend to just throw them in the woods as they think they will decompose and then you walk past these bags for the next decades. I once read an article about a person testing the biodegradability of different "biodegradable" poo bags. He buried them in his yard and got them out every several years to check on them. If I remember correctly the test was over 15 years by the time the article was written and there was no change in the bags at all. Sure, it might be that these plastics degrade over maybe 100 years. But it's definitely nothing you would wanna throw into your compost.
I'm in an "as seen on tv products" phase right now so I came across your videos this is the first one I'm seeing, great stuff my friend! You're funny and I'm lovin the commentary, I dig the sunglasses too!
I think we really need these kind of videos, I was thinking of a topic like that, I didn't know there were other people doing videos on such an important topic 👊
Wow I couldn't agree more on the Products you chose to put on the WORST of 2020. You are very entertaining and made me laugh with this Video. Lookin Forward to your 2021 series.
This morning my husband told me that a mirror I had put up with alien tape had fallen and smashed, so it's funny for me to see it on a video like this (considering I never watch them)
Oh my gods! I subscribed after the very first video and I must have watched about 20 videos and then you suddenly stopped coming up in my stream and because of interconnected medical issues which leaves me with little short-term memory I completely forgot your name! I have now written it down on a list that I keep posted on the bulletin board so I don't have to wait for you to show up in my feed. I am so excited I found you again!
My boss actually handed out Draft Tops as a little Christmas present at work. It works, but I find it works better when you let the can sit on a table or countertop and steady it instead of holding it up. It does what it advertises...I just find it completely pointless. If you want to drink a beer, just crack open the tab. If you want to drink a beer fast, just shotgun it like a real American. :P
For me, there are only TWO As Seen on TV items I bought and still use: Canvas Shopping Cart bags that have hooks for the shopping cart, and the Garden Hose that goes flat when you turn off the water so it shrinks for easy storage.
Gday James Loved the best and worst of 2020.I was wondering if you had time you could do a Christmas gadget video. They don't have to be practical, just things that would put a smile on our faces, which we all need atm
It's sad because a lot of these products are just cash grabs. You're testing them for a reason, but some people actually buy them and are shocked when they get scammed.
This guy is a doctor, a firefighter, a teacher, an astronaut, a scientist, a stepdad, and now he reviews products on RUclips. How he manages to do all that just... blows my mind.
Hey James, I'm catching up on some videos and this one was just what I needed; it had me rolling in the floor. A lot of the items I hadn't seen, but few I have. The Tac Amiplifer & Ice 🧊 Wizard seen similar; that Ice 🧊 one failed too. The Tac Shaver, lol just had a mind of it's own. The Alien Tape, well only positive comments are only in the info commercial. But you had me cracking up with parts of the Alien Tape, like the shower rack falling & corner shelf; the car Swivel Tray had me wondering if McDonald's wears well. The one that had me in pain fr laughing was the 'Smart' Cup, or Not-So Smart Cup; nevertheless, when you first took a sip and didn't say anything I thought you were gonna explode that it tasted bad. I just love your enthusiasm and expressions. Laughter even helps with back spams.

The way you think they work is dumber than soaking them in tap water hoping they will dissolve.
There's a log in my back yard that's been there for years and is just starting to break down. According to you it isn't biodegradable.
@@rogerszmodis My point is that just because someone claims it's biodegradable it doesn't mean it actually is, or that it breaks down fast enough to make much of a difference. In the case of the cup tested you said it can be composted. Have you tested that? Did it work? How long did it take? If it took more than a year it's not something I'd like to have in my compost.
If you use "bio degradable" as a selling point you better provide some info on just what time frame you are talking about.
Oh and I've got one more example of a bio degradable product that didn't measure up. It was a toilet that collected the waste and sealed it in a pouch. The idea was that you could install a decent toilet where there were no plumbing, and you didn't need to install a septic tank. The sealed pouches meant that it was hygienic and odorless when handled. The big thing was that these poaches were bio degradable and it was recommended that you just dug them down and they would decompose in a year or two. An uncle installed one of these and used it for about six or seven years. He had a large field where he buried the waste as instructed and things was looking good. Now after he died his son was going to plow that field and discovered that not one of these stink bombs had deteriorated noticeably, and it was more than ten years since the last time any thing was buried there.
Just because someone claims something is biodegradable doesn't mean shit. Except in this last case it really meant that the shit was still all fresh and gooey many years later.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 yeah i'd like it if it was at least honest like "hey if you bury this bag of shit, put it somewhere where you won't hit it because this takes aprox 100 years to decompose completely" or something like that.
That way you can kind of sort things out. quickly bio degradable stuff can go in compose where this weird stuff that can take many years can be put somewhere where it won't get in the way.
It also means that its not really a replacement for littering- which i think some people kind of get that idea. yeah- it might degrade in 25 years instead of 100 BUT animals and shit can still choke on it, which is still a huge issue with the ocean, and a lot of the people that buy these things at least want to help with that to some degree. SO i'd say they aren't "lying" but they are hyping things up too much to really matter like what you said before. its not really good for compose OR keeping animals out of danger so having "earth friendly" or "bio degradable" with no context just seems like a quick ad to me- and it works for a while.
Same with "biodegradable" dog poo bags. People tend to just throw them in the woods as they think they will decompose and then you walk past these bags for the next decades.
I once read an article about a person testing the biodegradability of different "biodegradable" poo bags. He buried them in his yard and got them out every several years to check on them. If I remember correctly the test was over 15 years by the time the article was written and there was no change in the bags at all.
Sure, it might be that these plastics degrade over maybe 100 years. But it's definitely nothing you would wanna throw into your compost.
Always a great review thanks for the laughs and updates
I'm in an "as seen on tv products" phase right now so I came across your videos this is the first one I'm seeing, great stuff my friend! You're funny and I'm lovin the commentary, I dig the sunglasses too!
I think it is funny to watch these videos and see the dislikes because you know that those people bought some of these products and liked them LMFAO
There are always products that are terrible but some people like them. always.
I think we really need these kind of videos, I was thinking of a topic like that, I didn't know there were other people doing videos on such an important topic 👊
Wow I couldn't agree more on the Products you chose to put on the WORST of 2020. You are very entertaining and made me laugh with this Video. Lookin Forward to your 2021 series.
This morning my husband told me that a mirror I had put up with alien tape had fallen and smashed, so it's funny for me to see it on a video like this (considering I never watch them)
The portable dishwasher she re-advertised as a portable spa/jacuzzi (for baths or foot baths)
It's also marketed as a clothes washing device...
Oh my gods! I subscribed after the very first video and I must have watched about 20 videos and then you suddenly stopped coming up in my stream and because of interconnected medical issues which leaves me with little short-term memory I completely forgot your name! I have now written it down on a list that I keep posted on the bulletin board so I don't have to wait for you to show up in my feed. I am so excited I found you again!
My boss actually handed out Draft Tops as a little Christmas present at work. It works, but I find it works better when you let the can sit on a table or countertop and steady it instead of holding it up.
It does what it advertises...I just find it completely pointless. If you want to drink a beer, just crack open the tab. If you want to drink a beer fast, just shotgun it like a real American. :P
For me, there are only TWO As Seen on TV items I bought and still use: Canvas Shopping Cart bags that have hooks for the shopping cart, and the Garden Hose that goes flat when you turn off the water so it shrinks for easy storage.
thank you James for reliving the 'worst' of 2020 - I enjoyed, again, some pleasant feelings for not wasting money on some of those "products"
Do a top 10 list of items that Bailey enjoyed/hated most:)
Like your presentation style; humorous yet matter-of-fact. Thanks for sharing.
I was halfway through typing out how the HELL Alien tape didn't make this video when the honorable mentions came haha.
Gday James
Loved the best and worst of 2020.I was wondering if you had time you could do a Christmas gadget video. They don't have to be practical, just things that would put a smile on our faces, which we all need atm
I just found your channel yesterday and I have been binge watching your best/worst year in reviews
It's sad because a lot of these products are just cash grabs. You're testing them for a reason, but some people actually buy them and are shocked when they get scammed.
This guy is a doctor, a firefighter, a teacher, an astronaut, a scientist, a stepdad, and now he reviews products on RUclips. How he manages to do all that just... blows my mind.
After I supposedly passed the Memory Expert coarse my neighbor wanted to give me a couple of dollars for it. I couldn’t remember where I put it.
Was James going on a date after filming this or something? 😂😂 Lookin good 👍

THE NEW PHONE BOOKS ARE HERE, THE NEW PHONE BOOKS ARE HERE!!!!!
Hey James, I'm catching up on some videos and this one was just what I needed; it had me rolling in the floor. A lot of the items I hadn't seen, but few I have. The Tac Amiplifer & Ice 🧊 Wizard seen similar; that Ice 🧊 one failed too. The Tac Shaver, lol just had a mind of it's own. The Alien Tape, well only positive comments are only in the info commercial. But you had me cracking up with parts of the Alien Tape, like the shower rack falling & corner shelf; the car Swivel Tray had me wondering if McDonald's wears well. The one that had me in pain fr laughing was the 'Smart' Cup, or Not-So Smart Cup; nevertheless, when you first took a sip and didn't say anything I thought you were gonna explode that it tasted bad. I just love your enthusiasm and expressions. Laughter even helps with back spams.
You are going to have one epic yard sale someday. Thank you for doing all these reviews so we don’t try this stuff ❤️
Ice Wizard: leaks, won't open, wobbly, makes tiny amount of small, crappy ice. Dollar store tray: fill, freeze, DONE.
I love the line "I don't trust this... at all" right in the middle of a review, that's how you know it's real.
Thank you so much for reviewing these products!
