I love how Business Blaze is having less and less to do with business every week. 100% Simon’s best channel.
it has everything to do with business...mostly what not include in any business plan.
@@doranconall9995 allegedly.
Legend, thank you.
As long as Simon continues to wear a blazer in every episode, they can eventually change the channel name to Business Blazer and make the channel name sort of make sense again.
@@aprilrusso3082 Your comment is genius
Simon: It’s like 35 degrees today
Most Americans: That’s barely above freezing!
Physicists working at the hadron collider: That’s close to absolute zero.
Kelvin is not measured in degrees. Its just Kelvin.
Rindert Walinga I know. It’s called a joke.
Most Canadians: Christ it's hot af over there!
After translating to F - sounds close to the average High temperature in August. But considering he's clearly indoors it sounds like his A/C is broken.
@@jonnunn4196 He's British iirc, we don't typically have AC over here, it historically hasn't been worth it for a couple of weeks a year, What with the warmer summers we've been having recently that may change though.
Is it weird that I imagine childhood Simon as bald, waiting in the queue for Thunder Mountain?
hahah, no, I was bald as a child.
It's fine, as long as you're imagining a shorter beard.
I had full beard.

Ha ha ha Exactly as I imagined.

“Let’s reward you with some fun because we just sat through a lot of death” best out of context quote out there lol
Be honest Simon. The reason you don't drink at work is because that's cocaine time.
Dude you just got that cocaine song stuck in my head
Allegedly
_Simon cuts his lines of Coke on top of ETA and loses them.............aLEGENDly. 0.o_
Rich Marceau ...nope, whisky is the perfect accompaniment to cocaine!...NOT ALLEGEDLY, ITS A FACT!
@@remlatzargonix1329 I prefer grey goose, but yes you speak the truth. And hoo boy, if you have problems with not being able to drink as much as your friends... Cocaine fixes that

i was about to like this, then i saw the glorious 69 likes 😏 nice!
Simon: No more spirits.

Blaze it.

Your choice of spirit is apparently appropriate.

just a guess, but I do not think that is the kind of spirits he was referring to....
@@Krahazik shhhhh. His fault for not being specific.
So my whiskey is a lie?
I was used to simons other than 18 channels where he is more “reigned in”. I found this one recently and it has my vote for the best of the best.
Simon: doesn't know why business blaze has an audience
Me: business blaze is my favourite UA-cam channel
Also me: where is ETA?!
He's being phased out because our boy with the blaze doesn't like the competition.
@@doranconall9995 ETA will live on in our hearts, and our stolen identities ✊🏻

BB is the best.
I'm dying at Simon's lack of knowledge of Fabio. You should do a Biographics on him 🤣
Simon doesn’t have a good track record of remembering the subjects of the videos he does
Danny I feel your pain, I’ve been secretly designing elevators in my spare time, waiting for my big break into a elevator design competition. Maybe one day we will get are chance to show the world that elevator designers need not hide anymore.
I had a cool idea for one where all the buttons inside are blank and randomly placed around the walls, so you have to guess by trial and error which one to press.
The OG!
Secretly might be your problem
Royale with cheese......So you you’ve heard of the FEE, We’ll be watching you.
Some of these, like when people climbed over fences, are just Darwin Awards.
100%. They tell you to stay seated before you leave the station. Signs all over the fences CLEARLY telling you to stay out of the fenced areas. If you ignore all that shit, that’s on you 🤷🏻♀️
"Nothing good happens in a dark tunnel. Rollercoaster accidents, car accidents, ra- *ID SHADOW LEGENDS* "
Legit though that was where that was going.
You'll get raided by a shadow legend in those dark tunnels.
@@brainblaze6526 Wouldn't surprise me. The devs of Raid SL seem like CHUDs to me.
I was really hoping he was going to say Murder bc I just watch at ep of Psych and that totally happened...
Someone's butt is getting raided
oh shit
"Death is not funny, Simon" LMAO There's a Venn diagram... "reasons I'm going to hell" and "things I find funny"... I think my diagram and Simon's would be very similar. This is why Simon is one of my favorite youtubers.
Danny: But this is about people getting beheaded and losing limbs.
Simon: Teehee lol 😂🤣
"All thirty-two passengers were trapped in the tunnel and required rescue from emergency personnel and ten of the riders were injured." Simon turns to the camera beginning to question Danny's judgement in including the story at all adding, "That's all! That doesn't sound too bad."
He continues reading, "Tragically, it was too late to save--oh"
Derrr-herherher!!! 😏😹
Is it really surprising given he keeps Danny chained in the basement?
@@adamkg3215and don't forget Sam's timely addition of the red screen tint.
Simon: Complains about heat
Also Simon: THIS JACKET IS NICE
2:45 we are here because we like the cocaine-fueled, hostage keeping, script slapping, dislike button promoting Simon!
Agreed!
I'm here because ETA has my family and if i don't keep watching I'll never see them again.
I'm here because I accidentally started to grow a brain cell, and now I'm on a pest control spree.
I was gonna add an agreement that sounds slightly mad, but damn, _syncagray,_ I can't top that...
I'm here for the Blaze
I love how there's already a number one at the beginning of this video because we all know Simon is going to become creatively bankrupt and he's going to have a part two to this video.
5:41 Simon: Is my head getting cut off again?
Yes, and you know who else's? 17:49
My thought exactly!
Ohhhhh shit.
"None of it's REAL, just like religion"

S*** like this is exactly why I love you.
Also, would I be able to get this on a shirt?
And here I thought religion existed... silly me. What do they do when people attend church then?

“That’s what we call marketing folks. Also known as lies.”
As a guy who worked in a call center that dealt with post-sales and now work with returns, I endorse this statement so hard that it could be interrupted as a sexual innuendo.
Edit: I meant to say “interpreted” but thanks to auto-correct, it made my comment take an entirely different but hilarious meaning.
Allegedly.
Sexual interruptions suck.
Do you mean "Interpreted"?
😂👍
_Yep, cause I yelled "FIGGUT!!!" and clicked it 2nd. 0.o_
I hate sexual interruptions!
Not Sure
Oh now I see what you’re talking about LOL.
Yes that’s what I meant. I blame Auto-Correct.
I love how Business Blaze has developed a mind of its own and Simon has no idea why anything is happening, but he's going along with it...
"I dont know why you're here"
Because cocaine and coffee makes the best Simon.
I thought we were here to see watch his beard grow over the past 4 -5 years. Beardless Simon is scary
Beardless Simon looks like a salamander. Bearded Simon looks like a god
To be fair I'm not sure why I'm here but I am here and enjoying it
I've watched every Business Blaze...to the end. I don't know why I'm here either... I'll keep watching. Don't stop blazing.
My dad’s hat fell off of a ride at 6 flags, and a woman a few seats back caught it. It was magical...
What a legend.
40 years ago.. My grandma spit out the front window while driving down an old dusty road in Mississippi..
My brother in the backseat caught it.
It was magical.
If fortune tellers could win the lottery. We could all find a happy medium.
Love it. My Dad caught my hat from two rows back... On Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, of all places...
...And that is how I met your mother.
We're here because we love learning about Simon and Danny's backstories. I swear Danny has worked in every conceivable field. He should do a guest appearance sometime.
Business Blaze- Wal-Mart's fail in Germany. Allegedly
I second this the story is great.
Or Target's disastrous foray into the Canadian market
Yeah id love to see Simon roast wal mart
Andy B ...yeah, the yank guy who bought the world's oldest of stores, the Hudsons Bay Company (really a shame...part of the heritage of Canada, sold to yanks), tried to turn the Bay's subsidiary Zellers into Target stores.......Target failed miserably!
@@remlatzargonix1329 Or Hudson's Bays failure in Europe. They lost 220 million in 2 years, of which 82 million in the Netherlands alone. Their Amsterdam store was massive, but was literally down the street from the most famous Dutch department store, which was struggling already. A competitor had just gone under, as the whole department store concept wasn't profitable.
A friend of mine worked on their store interior there, she said it was mayhem. The Amsterdam location was busy on the first day because of all the fanfare, but was no competition for the existing, failing market.
Eventually, after massive losses, they admitted that they had done no market research and assumed their reputation in Canada would turn a profit here. Very costly mistake.
"Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated,
It really is a major inconvenience, oh man I really hate it"
I hear Simon's voice more frequently than my friends' and family's.
Simon has replaced my family.
I had a family?
Excellent.
lol this thread ;D
What’s a family?
Nobody:
Simon: "None of its real, just like religion."
Me: "All hail Simon the Great!"
I disagree. Religion is very real. What the religion is telling you is likely pure fantasy, but...

Is Karl really a "professional" though? Lol
@@robertbrown1141 does he get paid for it? Then he's a professional.
@@brianargo4595 As much as I hate the idea, it's true. People hold the word "professional" to a high standard when really it just means you make a living doing the thing.
@@Stettafire don't even need to make a living.
Just thinking of all the minimum wage employees that need to work multiple jobs to make a living - they're professional hairdressers, food workers, ...
Get paid, be a professional
@@Stettafire That's true for the original definition of the world, or not "original" so much as "established." The colloquial use will become part of the dictionary definition if it sticks around long enough.
We're here because it's fun and we love the injokes. And we're worried what happens to Danny if you don't need him anymore
I think you have that backwards: What happens when Danny gets a book deal; is poached by another channel or starts his own and doesn't need Simon?
@@sarahrosen4985 can't happen. He's stuck in the basement he has no contact to the outside world except this channel.
He's not getting any deals.
But seriously He wouldn't dare to leave us! There's a reason he became the only writer for this channel it's just the holy trinity Simon Danny and Sam. (sry ETA is a priest at best hopefully not a catholic one 😂)
"I don't drink at work!!"
Yet, Simon. Yet.
"Whether you actually enjoy roller coasters or not...is apparently directly linked to how much dopamine you've got flying about your brain..."
Cocaine helps. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that Simon questions why we're watching in every episode brings me joy.
I’ve traveled America riding roller coasters, I had no idea I was blazing the whole time.
Did you make it to cedar point or kings island, both in ohio
Eric .Wukusick.....Of all the parks that my family and I have been to Cedar Point was are favorite, we live in Florida, and would drive there on a Friday after work, ride roller coasters all weekend then drive straight back and be at work Monday morning, Fun, Fun, Fun, it was great.
Feel I need to follow this comment tread. Think it might get entertaining
I did kings island on some molly once.
It was the only time I had fun there.
Six flags great America Illinois
Nerding with Simon is Legendary. Tangent of a tangent is epic.
Curses are definitely real. They just don't actually do anything.
Gosh dang, that made me laugh.
Ok all the god/angels/demons/devils/heaven and hell...hooey😎 Religion is on the other hand is dangerously real and in the USA, tax exempt
Dang it, that's a slight against us curse enforcers - followers of a long proud tradition of good, old fashioned, dishonest hard work!
Try being a Melbourne Demons fan. The Curse is Real.
Smashed it...so proud of these comments tonight
"it's like 35 degrees and my feet are sweaty"
Obligatory response: " Dude put a coat on you'll get frostbite"
Pft Americans and your Fahrenheit. Allegedly a way to measure temperature
@@jesthered7966 actually, 35°F can feel like a heat wave when you've gone over 2 months with temps staying at 0° F or even colder with the wind chill. I've seen people here in the States wearing t-shirts and shorts when it's 35°F and I wish I was joking.
@@xxibjrosek It's amazing how quick you acclimatize when traveling too though I at least do notice it more when I've returned home from somewhere hot and humid (I live in the UK) feels less extreme returning from a few weeks in Nevada than Thailand. Probably because humid air feels hotter than it actually is so the same temperature difference feels less extreme after acclimatizing to dry heat rather than humid heat despite the dry heat in Nevada being hotter on average.

Oh man, I love going to theme parks when no one is there during the middle of the week. It is so awesome. My cousins and I had such a blast on a Thursday at Knottsberry farms. We rode roller coasters until we puked. Repeatedly. We didn't even have to get off the ride, there was zero line.
"None of it's real, like religion"
Religions are real, there are several of them, they exist. What religions BELIEVE, on the other hand...
eyyyy
👌
Yeah, fools clearly dont exist why is the bible trying to warn me about such nonesense
Haha yes opened youtube just in time for my favorite meme page
"If business Blaze is big enough, someone is eventually going to die while watching Business Blaze".
So, if a provider is watching Business Blaze, and someone dies, interrupting that provider, does that count? Because it's happened, twice in one week!!
I love this channel!!!! I love the script, I love Simon reading it, and the memes that are added! That is why I always watching your channel!!!!
Thanks :)
Simon: I'm taking off my shoes because it's 35 degrees and my feet are sweaty.
Most of America: What?
Alaska: Seems legit.
You did it again, Simon. You legend.
Any day now we will be getting that "What the hell Danny?!?" shirt merch.
Guess the guy who went over the fences and got decapitated, didn’t really need his hat after all in the end.
BA-DA-BUM-BUM-TSHSHSHSHSH!!
"In the end" is not exactly where you need it anyway.
This is my favorite Simon, he is far more genuine on this channel, I subscribe to all of his channels I believe, and always enjoy him. On this channel hes far more enjoyable.
I'm here for the in-jokes actually
Friend- What’s BB like?
Me- Remember “Castaway” with Tom Hanks? Like that with a Brit accent and a heater...

I got to this 10 seconds after it was posted and I'm so happy. xD
Edit to add: I'm here for the Blaze. And the memes.
I managed 2 minutes...lol. 🤣
yh a pewdiepie video came out at the exact time Guess which one I picked
Why?
All praise the Meme Lord Sammy giving us that extra spice to the main blaze!
Far-be-oh, Fabio was considered “the most sexiest man” of the time, which is why he might have been on the ride at the time. I remember the goose incident. Wow, now I feel old.
Very ironic that it happened to him, as it probably broke his nose and made him less sexy as a result.
I don't understand why he was mad at the ride, saying it was dangerous. Properly, he should have been campaigning for the complete extinction of geese.
Also, Busch Gardens is Europe-themed, which may explain why an Italian celebrity would be there.
@@viddork His pride was hurt, so it was automatically the parks and rides fault. someone had to pay.. this is the mindset of the Vain.
I thought it was just publicity for "I can't believe it's not butter".....

2:30 Maybe leave the injokes for the middle?
Eh, Simon Unplugged has its own virtue.
8:30 Omg, a cure for kidney stones is G-forces!!!
"Heads will roll" ...😳😆 Oh man! I couldn't stop myself from laughing.
Speaking of roller coasters and Ferrari, there's a Ferrari theme park called Ferrari World with a coaster called the Turbo Track that goes straight up through the center of the roof and back down. It's insane.
That sounds cool.
Joe Horn Pretty sure it's Abu Dhabi actually but the two are not that far apart.
Simon needs to show us a picture of the mysterious legend known as danny
We're here because you have a good voice and you're hilarious. Love this channel!
Dude! Fabio was the "I can't believe it's not butter" guy 😂
On this point, has there been a blaze on Action Park, New Jersey, USA. That's a story in itself.
Ooo yeah, that's a good one!
That could probably be a 2 parter
Accident Park! Yeah, you could probably devote a few episodes to covering all the accidents that happened there.
"Heads will roll..." Hats off to the best Blaze pun yet!
"There's really no escaping the fact that we're largely talking about people falling to their deaths, getting their legs amputated, breaking every bone in their bodies, or getting their heads sliced off." Welcome to Business Blaze.
Simon: Professional UA-camrs dont drink while working.
Achievement Hunter: Pass the bottle its time to record.
Subliminal coffee ads and a disturbing lack of E.T.A, the start of dark times I see?
ETA was busy sabotaging Simon's other channels. Watch today's Top Tenz and you'll see, or rather hear, what I mean.
He's preparing for winter.
Don’t let your guard down Simon, ETA hibernates with one eye open. He will strike when you least expect it.
This channel is going to end up on Megaprojects one day.
"I'm not sure why I made that channel, but the videos just kept coming. After video 100,000 we realized..."
Me when I see a blaze video without the daddy chill meme: WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN THAT!!!
I don't know, but it looks like a clip from some kind of road-side freak show. Totally weirds me out.
Daddy, chill.
I thought it was saying "Danny, chill."
Gotta ration out those fine memes.
13:30 for Simon's impression of a person suffering from shattered vertebrae... LMAO! Well played...
All I know is that the Big Thunder Mountain locomotive has a thirst for human blood now...
Well its spirit does at least.
Simon casually not knowing how to pronounce Fabio is the best thing about this video.
His mispronunciations are just fantastic. He did an episode on one of his channels about Ceasar, so he talked a lot about Pompey. He pronounced it like you would Pompei, which is probably why he made the mistake. I don't know why it got to me, it's really not common knowledge, but he says it so many times. Lol.
I had such a hard time paying attention to the video because I got to it so early and was crushed by the pressure of writing a good comment. So here we are.
I'm having a hard time paying attention to the video because I'm busy reading the comments.
Two things, the first is a tip and the second is a longish story you'll wanna hear.
First of all, in regards to going to amusement parks with barely anyone there, you'll almost never do this at any of the big name, national/international tourist attraction parks. But the ones that are built for local markets tend to only be busy on the weekends, especially during the school year. During the summer it can be a bit more dodgy, but if you do a little bit of research, you can find what their busy days/hours are and go with little to no rides, it's pretty great.
Secondly, and more importantly, I was in line for the Batman ride when the kid with the church group lost his hat rack. He wasn't retrieving the hat, that was likely them covering for the fact that they had suggested he go through there in the first place. One of the main parking lots is immediately adjacent to the Gotham City themed section of the park, but you have to walk halfway around the park to the entrance, then back through the park to get to it. He had forgotten something in the church van, but his buddies were headed to batman. So he decided, possibly at their suggestion, to go to the van and hop the fence to come back in, and join them in line. We saw him jump the first fence and thought he'd walk around the second one, which protected the areas that the coaster was low enough to hit someone. When he started jumping the second fence, a lot of us started yelling at him to stop, but he couldn't hear us over the sound of (ironically) the coaster. Then it hit him and it was absolutely brutal. Simultaneously the most horrific and quickest death I've been unfortunate enough to witness. And yes, I still see it in my sleep sometimes, trauma is so fun!
But yeah, it was absolutely his own fault. He would have been absolutely fine if he had taken the maybe 200 foot longer route around the second fenced area, though he probably would have been tossed from the park pretty shortly afterwards, and then had some sort of minor scandal within the youth group at their church, but that's probably the better of the two options.
We the few, the legendary. If we purch enough merch you don't need more than 200k subscribers!
My furious ego does.
@ 4:10 that Pluto meme literally broke me 😂 🤣 😵. Seriously, that meme is perfection lmao.
fun fact: Disney land CA my mom was watching thunder-mountain go around the track and at one point she thought she saw the train come off the track a bit on a downhill part. she told an employee and they told her everything was fine. 30 min later the ride was shutdown for the rest of the day with no explanation given other than "something was loose"
I accidentally stumbled upon Business Blaze, was confused on the memes, then decided to binge watch from oldest to newest just to understand the memes. Now I know key pieces of business information, such as: how COVID affected the boiler repair industry, allegedly how to avoid getting sued, and where to buy a zebra sex mask. Now I have less than 10 episodes to catch up on the Blaze. 10/10, would do again.
On a more serious note, this channel has given me some laughs while going through a rather difficult time lately (as if 2020 wasn't already a nightmare). Keep on blazing strong, Simon, Danny, Sam and Charles Wilson.

I love coming across these older videos from Simon that I haven’t seen yet💙 watching for the first time in 2023
How the hell do you sneak pass a ride operator without them noticing a lack of leg
This made me laugh more then i think it should of
Shoto... asking the important questions.
Not only is this channel amusing, but Simon's great voice also does a great job of putting me to sleep late at night when shown on the TV. No this is not sarcasm but might help you understand why some of us enjoy watching to the very end.
"Marketing, also known as lies..." Can we assume this is true of all of Simon's marketing for sponsors on his other channels?
Shots fired!
Yeah I mean, if you look at legit reviews most of the big products that sponsor are overpriced and mediocre at best.
pew pew
... like religion. Smash that 👎!
Pro tip… when we went to Disneyland Paris my mother had back problems so couldn’t walk far. To make it easier we hired a wheelchair for her but this also had an unintended consequence. Even for rides she couldn’t go on (with the exception of Big Thunder Mountain) the ride attendants saw us coming up to the 3hr+ long queue with someone in a wheelchair and so ushered us straight down into the much, MUCH shorter queues in the disabled access lane! I’ve never been on so many rides at a theme park in just two day of visits ever before in my life! 😂
I remember in August of 2010 when I was riding the wooden coaster Rebel Yell at King's Dominion here in Virginia, and at the far end of the track as the car turned to return back, the safety bar suddenly popped up and wouldn't come back down.
Thankfully it wasn't too extreme a ride, so I managed to hold onto the bar with my arms and not get thrown from the car.
Ride was shut afterwards while maintenance looked at the restraint system, though I don't know what the cause of the failure was, or what was done to fix it.
Pretty typical. When I was young, I rode a Mayan Temple style ride at Six Flags in Texas & I was too small for the restraint bar to work correctly. (It's like I was just sliding around loose.) I asked the worker to take a look at it but they said I would be fine & moved on. Spent the entire ride with my arms wrapped around the safety bar since it wasn't restraining me, as we went through UPSIDE DOWN LOOPS IN THE DARK. I actually like roller coasters, but that was terrifying & dangerous!
@@bluesira Sadly I think the very safe track record makes people overly complacent, well that and theme parks should learn lessons from the work on CRM developed by aviation. When it comes to safely operate a machine carrying passengers every crew member should be empowered to intervene and stop operation if they have articulable safety concerns, rank should not matter and nobody should be at risk of being fired for stopping operation due to a reasonable concern for safety ever. Any company that makes employees scared for their job if they do what they believe is necessary to ensure safety is reckless at best malicious at worst IMO.
I didn't get the elevator inside joke, but it still worked as a clever bit of fun. The thought of an elevator designer, being bored during a roller coaster design session, is amusing.
And thus was the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror born.
