OK, I learned something about all that Rubies stuff. I grew up with my mother sewing me my costumes, and went on to learn to create custom prosthetics. I never examined the commercial costume industry at all. Getting concept art as much as 2-years in advance is pretty friggin' mind-blowing. As a costume fabricator, I'd kill for that level of advanced insight into the new hip thing to have it ready in time for a good topical costume. That's a fun thing to daydream about. It makes sense for Japan to happily adopt Halloween, because they've loved cosplay long before that.
Really like the way your introduced the holiday and it's social impact/development before highlighting its effect on industry and specific businesses. Great work!
I love that its commercialized because without it we would never know how many things can be made sexy. Its like every year is a Project Runway challenge where companies have to figure out what random things can they turn sexy. Corn? Napkin? Air? Bert and Ernie? THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS NOW!
We now prepare to take our kids trick-or-treating after eating turkey and wrapping Christmas presents. Stores put up Christmas displays in August and squeeze in Halloween displays wherever they can. Holidays are now all about profit.
Fun fact: Ben Cooper actually had a costume called "Spider-Man" before Marvel's Spider-Man appeared. There was no backstory to go along with it and it only vaguely resembled the more familiar character but it existed.
0:53 Holy crap, this image is from a book is used to read all the time when I was a kid. It was a nonfiction picture book telling the story of an ancient european town as it grew from a few huts into a huge city. I wish I could remember the name of it.
Last year Walmart acquired Flipkart (India's Amazon.com) and this year we could see the rush of Halloween at least in Mumbai region. So partly Walmart is making this festival go international.
We still have the plain old All Hallows Eve here in Eastern Europe. About 5-7 years ago the youths started celebrating Halloween. Which is nice, but on the other hand, our other Halloween'ish festival "Užgavienės" (similar to Slavic Maslenitsa) is now dying down.
Awesome video Business Casual. The power of story telling is enormous. Most people rarely question how events like halloween started but most probably have watched halloween movies . They just go with the flow and that's how people end up paying for these invented and branded holidays.
Of all the American holidays, I think Halloween is by far the best: it promotes the spread and diversity of culture. The other holidays are all about focusing on family, religion, or nationalism.
I was just here minding my own business and then I thought to search for the channel, next thing I know Less than an hour ago a brand new video dropped. WOOOO!!!!!!!!! Love your videos!
It would be awesome to see if you could do a video on how music is produced today. Like I’ve always wondered why artists sign with major record companies when they don’t need a record deal to produce music
Also don't forget various online games' promotions like WoW, Terra, Guid Wars, TF2, Overwatch, and Wildstar. Well, it's not as large as supermarkets but it did create some form of promotions.
When I lived in Japan back around 07 they'd let some locals into the housing part of US Navy base to experience American Halloween trick or treating. They fucking loved it. But otherwise Halloween was non existent in Japan.
Boy, if you think Halloween is commercialized, Christmas is way, way worse. Thanksgiving? What Thanksgiving? It's Christmas time, yo! Seriously, I've seen a store that put Christmas stuff on July.
Well, not first time business promotes things they feed on. Like "chocolate day" in japan, when boy\girls gift each other chocolate to hint their feelings and so on - this "tradition" was completely constructed by japanese candy producers to increase sales....
Hi Jack it's kinda explained in the video, if a retailer from your part of the hemisphere becomes big enough to consume Walmart and bring with it it's holidays, I'm sure it'll work the same way.
Why do you call it a Holiday? Its not a Holiday. You dont get a government sanctioned day off and normal activities are not suspended. Everyone works and shops are still open as per normal.
well its typically looked at as a holiday for children, so no shops and such dont close, and children dont get school off because the holiday doesnt technically start until after 6pm in most places.
Idk but the best day to buy halloween candy is the day after halloween
I’d say during September
1:10 WAIT A MINUTE...
3:39 W A I T
LNKS Top 10 creepiest anime.
Best (not)Grill is everywhere
7:48 the plot thickens

There’s a large amount of traps hidden in this video
Its not a trap
It's an ambush
Care to explain?
@@Timbone07 2 years later. But I think OP's talking about anime "traps" which is basically feminime-looking anime boys
@@azuraligthfeilt Hahaha thanks

What I want to know is how did Halloween go from scary costumes to superheroes, hotdogs and slutty cats.

My parents never let me celebrate Halloween as they thought it satanic
Chris Johnson it is. Smart parents you had
It is satanic
Ouch oh well more candy for me

Because businesses need to make more money.
Speedy Gonzalez
Not just that, it's also because we wanted nice costumes without putting in all the effort into making them
That's the "why" not the "how." Otherwise there would be a major commercialized holiday everyday as that is best for businesses to make money.
Not need, they want more money.
thats the whole point of businesses :)

Yeah, that's the downside of globalized holidays, they tend to stifle local celebrations, especially with the younger generations.

Nice to see business casual and business man perpetuate each other into uploading more.
No mention of spirit halloween? That's a staple of halloween!
3:40
Trap detected, get Mike Pence in here ASAP
Halloween 2018 watchers, unite! 😆
I'm from Argentina. We don't celebrate Halloween, some people tries to install it aa a commercial celebration but it doesn't catch our attention.
Now I know why costumes are so expensive
Y'all seeing Halloween props in store already while I already saw Christmas ones in a local ikea-like store
Of all the American holidays, I think Halloween is by far the best: it promotes the spread and diversity of culture. The other holidays are all about focusing on family, religion, or nationalism.

It originated in Ireland
3:41 that anime reference with that trap you so love
Ah yea Felix best girl
I live in Collegeville and I go by that building all the time! Had no idea it had such a long history.

In 3:39 the cat lady from re zero (although acually he is a dude, suprising)
Can you please do an episode about Kellogg’s cereal
I like the commercialization of holidays.
I love the name ASDA, it sounds like a keystroke of a dodging FPS player.
Just like Christmas day!
1:10 is that.....
Is that a trap I see in the back?
edit: another one! 3:42
Business Casual=Weeb confirmed
Jeffrey Z little Easter eggs like that are in all of their videos!
You have very great videos. Where do you edit your videos and what kind of mic do you use?
When did this channel become commercialized?
Nice to see you have second best girl in the video
Care to explain that anime cat person on some of the backgrounds?
Felix from re zero
i appreciate youtr hardworki for placing the traps
When I lived in Japan back around 07 they'd let some locals into the housing part of US Navy base to experience American Halloween trick or treating. They fucking loved it. But otherwise Halloween was non existent in Japan.
Same kinda like in the Philippines
Boo! Scared you!
Mion Sonozaki oh no is a ghost!
dooo
doo
Who’s rushing into Sears?
Not me.
This year in the UK I think they've skipped Halloween and gone straight to Christmas
M C because of the hatred between Éire/Ireland and the UK
I want to see General Motors
Briefing Spoon that garbage
Ford too
I'd rather see Specific Motors!
Who still shops at Sears? Especially for Halloween stuff!
What a great video!
Boy, if you think Halloween is commercialized, Christmas is way, way worse. Thanksgiving? What Thanksgiving? It's Christmas time, yo! Seriously, I've seen a store that put Christmas stuff on July.
I spotted your hidden traps
could you please do video on the Australian car brand Holden
thanks
5:34- And Star Wars: The Clone Wars brought him back with spider legs.
Awesome video! thank you for this one! :D
That whole middle column of domains though.
I see, you're a man of culture as well
Well, not first time business promotes things they feed on. Like "chocolate day" in japan, when boy\girls gift each other chocolate to hint their feelings and so on - this "tradition" was completely constructed by japanese candy producers to increase sales....
Ben Cooper or Vancouver?
*cough* It's Ben Cooper, I swear.
Hi what do you think life means?
You have to create the meaning yourself. I mean 42.
PopR Protons flowing across membranes.
You give your life meaning by helping others give their lives meaning.
It means sending me all your money because of reasons
I'm a simple man, when I see a cat person, I smile
Because our culture is commercialized.
I hate corporations a lot (sometimes)
Why do other countries celebrate Western festivals and never the other way around?
Hi Jack it's kinda explained in the video, if a retailer from your part of the hemisphere becomes big enough to consume Walmart and bring with it it's holidays, I'm sure it'll work the same way.
Can you do a video on shots studios?
Halloween is probably the most occidental Holiday...
Spooklized
3:30 fun costume
Who else knows from which book that picture is from? 0:54
Just curious... Do you *ever* say the word "is"?... I swear you must say "are" for _everything_ despite it sounding awkward
ANOTHER Felix
*2 Felix's
Do the same video with Christmas
No one rushes into sears.
3:38 why is there an anime girl?
I am so glad we never go to walmart because its horrible.
So target?
@@matthew_natividad i forgot i made this comment but yeah
Why is Felix hidden in every video?
no one is rushing into sears they are closing down.
When one can make more money by commercialise festivals, the "greedy capitalists" would definitely do so. So, happy Halloween-shopping-spree day!
2:26 Womart.
So... that's why darth maul is so famous after all!
A hate Halloween and Valentin because of that
You can inly say halloween was a christian holliday if at the time witches were burned instead of celebrated
Commercial Winners = Wal-Mart, other stores and China's manufacturing/exporter of most (all) goods sold for holloween.
WOW
It was commercialized because we live in a capitalistic world. Anything that can be, will be commercialized.
Pronunciation : Samhain is pronounced so-'ween. Ghoulish is pronounced 'goo-lish.
3:12 Reese's puffs Reese's puffs...
SHORT ANSWER:
*Wal-Mart.*
Hop Tu Naa in the Isle of Mann. older than halloween
Wow
OK, but $400 million on Halloween greeting cards?! Is that really a thing people do?
MindGeek next?
Why do you call it a Holiday? Its not a Holiday. You dont get a government sanctioned day off and normal activities are not suspended. Everyone works and shops are still open as per normal.
Just because it's not recognized by the government doesn't mean it's not a holiday
well its typically looked at as a holiday for children, so no shops and such dont close, and children dont get school off because the holiday doesnt technically start until after 6pm in most places.
The faithful death for amateurs
What's up with the anime gril?
Amazon will take Walmart out
Poor Darth maul
0:11 it isnt a christian holiday.... its a celtic holiday.... quite pagan tbh
Éamon De Valera I thought that 2 same as Christmas
wtf do i need a website for halloween?
Not part of Western culture, not a Christian holiday. It's an Anglo-Saxon holiday. All Saints' Day != Halloween.
i hate how basically all costumes are movie and comic characters
3:28 is it just me or are some of these kids doing black face
I'm so happy this shit isn't a thing in my country
