My mom used to buy me sharper image stuff for Christmas gifts after I got to my 20s and moved out. I appreciated the gesture, but sometimes I felt so bad when I saw how much some of the stuff she got me cost. One Christmas she got me this back-lit CD player/alarm clock that had a kinda interesting lid to open it, I guess it was trying to style itself after the Bang and Olufsen CD players of the time. It was OK, I used it for ambient music now and then, not particularly phenomenal, didn't trust the alarm feature because the clock was buggy. Later, I was in the Sharper Image online catalogue and saw it cost over $100. I couldn't believe that she spent that. :-( She knew that when I was a teen I always used to go into that shop and admire stuff, so, I can see why she would get me stuff from there. edit: I just found the item, it's called the Blue Night CD Stereo and was $109. You can google image search it.
I miss Sharper Image stores. As a kid, I would sit in one of the massage chairs for a couple hours as my mom shopped in the rest of the mall. The interesting thing about those massage chairs and why they advertised them so heavily is that they're covered by some health insurance plans, so it was the one super overpriced thing they could reliably move units of.
I can to some extent understand the idea behind offline, non-digital password storage, the first rule of computer security is that nothing is 100% secure. But, like, maybe just use a notebook? If someone can get access to that notebook, my first concern isn't my Gmail password, it's that someone's in my home that isn't supposed to be.
I love when people who didn't grow up super rich have a successful media company and can buy all sorts of dumb rich people stuff and mock them. Good Mythical Morning is all about that and I know that was a big inspiration for this channel.

I guess a physical password device like that would work well for older people who may find that easier compared to software and cloud syncing. Bit overpriced though.
Or you know, they could use a notepad which also is hard to hack and not connected to the Internet. Bonus point, they can't forget the master password to their notepad.
A bit over priced, but password services are subscription based and I'd rather buy something once instead of having my paycheck constantly chipped away at by everything
@@littlejackalo5326 nah. I have a few passwords written down and it's stored right at my desk inside my monitor stand. Pull the top off and it's there. Who's going to go rummaging around and look inside my stand for passwords? No one unless I had national secrets stored on my computer
I've owned one thing from The Sharper Image in my entire life. It was a Newton's Cradle, only each of the balls were a different color so it was a rainbow balls momentum thing. It was purchased for me as a gift by someone who probably realized that I wasn't straight before I came out as bi/pan. It was $59.99. It was well made, and a regular silver one that is well made will run you $40 from what I can tell...so it was kind of unique and had a 50% tax for it. Honestly...it was way better value than anything on this video, assuming you want a rainbow Newton's Cradle.
"So you can just get wasted while you're golfing and driving the golf cart around" That's basically what country clubs are for. Getting smashed while trying to golf.
Man, I loved reading through Sharper Image catalogues way back when. Basically Spencer's for people who have a dedicated study in their home, and it's endlessly entertaining.
I like going into The Sharper Image when I have time at airports so I can ask people that work there “why does these products exist? Who are you selling this stuff to?”
The website for the billion dollar art gallery is even more egregious. The FAQ even encourages you to leave your television on with a single photo for days at a time. They even wrote up some BS backstory about it, as if they're just a middle aged couple who threw this together on a whim. But on the bright side, you can always apply to become a retailer for them yourself!
The thing I think everyone always forgets is that Sharper Image's product line was EXACTLY like this back in the day. The difference is that the average consumer is now more savvy when it comes to gadgets and electronics and so their products are a lot less impressive.
Those type of air purifiers create ozone. Sniffing it like that was probably okay since it wasn’t on, but probably shouldn’t do that in general. It can potentially cause lung tissue damage over an extended period of time.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. 3 beers across 18 holes is being conservative. At the price of GC beer, this is a good investment that will save you money.
The first one is hilarious, because when I saw it on adverts every now and then way back when, I'd think of physical, actual, paper, NOTEBOOKS and how they're so much more easier to maintain and you don't have to worry about the batteries running out or corroding the notebooks, you just had to remember where you put your Special Book 😂
I actually was looking for massage recliners some time ago, and you can get something similar to that $3500 or whatever Sharper Image chair for about $350. Yeah, I mean, Wish for rich people indeed. They seem to be more like glorified drop shippers? Or is that all they are really, drop shippers? Do they have custom packaging over top of their price gouged product packaging?
Purifiers are only useful for a room that they can spend the time to purify. Making it portable gives it no time to filter without having to lose all progress once you move
So the driver drink dispenser name from Amazon actually made me laugh out loud. A buddy of mine actually owns a set of golf clubs that are called the big bertha. Lmao got to love the name change.
It feels like a lot of the stuff they sell are good representations of things that.. while more expensive (most of the time), also work for the intended purpose they're designed, unlike sharper images copies. The billion dollar art gallery thumbstick is a great representation of this. The thumbstick reminds me of coffee table books, but it fails in capturing the entire point of coffee table books.. coffee table books are meant to be accessible quick, and to provide something pleasing to look at for 5 minutes while you wait for something; all of the art only being accessible when plugged into a device, and the fact it's just a small slab of metal to look at defeats the coffee table books purpose.
I use to love flipping through the Sharper Image catalogue while taking a dump. The store in the mall was always fun to go to also, But not because I had to take a dump.
For those that do not like beer that golf club dispenser could be used to haul gatorade or water for hydration without needed to haul more than just the golf bags. Each golfer could bring their own dispenser foor added capacity without needed anything other than the golf bags.
You're blurring the price before you reveal it, but you should also blur the PayPal financing terms as well xD we don't know how much it is, but we know it's 4 payments of $25

The golf one is pretty dope cause most courses your not allowed to bring your own beer but they over charge on there’s so it’s a good way to hide your beer but it’s definitely not to hide drinking everyone drinks when they play golf
I personally like the idea of a dedicated password saving device, just not _that_ one. An ideal one for me would have a larger, easier to read screen, the ability to not only save passwords but also _create_ really secure ones (something I struggle with currently) and perhaps the ability to plug in a USB stick to export them (for if the device ever breaks and I need to replace it). The problem with subscription based password managers is if you can't keep up the monthly payments, you lose access to every single account you have - not just the password manager. Plus cloudbased services I do _NOT_ trust. They _say_ they're secure and nobody in the company has access, but are they _really_ ? You have no way of actually knowing. Plus it's on a server, encrypted or not that can still be hacked, the saved files stolen and eventually cracked. Sod all that!
I actually owned that exact password vault, and probably still have it somewhere. I got it five or more years ago. Very annoying to type the password, if it’s secure. I paid I think $30.
with the golf clubs I think you are only allowed 14 clubs in your bag... I think. But by the time you take your drink thing, your radio, and whatever else you can think of, you are going to be allowed your putter and your sand wedge.
Been playing golf for 15 years and usually only call it a one ball, two ball, three ball, four ball. In a sentence do you have space? Sure we are only a three ball.
