YouTubers Are Getting Roasted For Selling Junk To Kids
Вставка

- There is a beef brewing on UA-cam as some of the platform's biggest stars - KSI, Logan Paul, Mr Beast and DanTDM take aim at one another over... kids snacks?
They said it might never be done. Rivals, the Jilly Cooper novel has finally been adapted for TV and it is all that could be hoped for. Marina & Richard break down the show and why Cooper is a powerhouse of literature.
Paparazzi are still hounding celebrities with Sydney Sweeney giving an insight into the lengths some are going to in order to photograph her. After a brief period of moral correction, have we gone back to some of the darker days of celebrity reporting?
Recommendations:
Richard: The English Teacher (Disney+)
Marina: Alma's Not Normal (iPlayer)

This is just the tip of the iceberg with these UA-camrs. Mr Beast pretty much torturing people for a game show, Logan Paul scamming his fans through crypto rug pulls, and yet the mainstream up until now just seem to ignore what has been happening. It’s time that UA-cam, Twitch et al should have to adhere to the same standards as the BBC, ITV and SKY
Their whole point has been "you can do whatever you want on UA-cam" but that clearly would end up causing problems along the line.
Let's not forget Logan's worst behaviour - making content out of a suicide-by-hanging in Aokigahara in Japan, which he described as a "lapse in judgement". The glorification of this clique of Tubers and their ilk is disgusting.
maybe we need to go back to executives deciding what shows get greenlt instead of anything and everything being fair game? I'm not sure the current situation is producing a net benefit to society.
Unlike her best friend peirs Morgan who just chats nonsense that he knows will make ppl click on his videos and make him money despite how much pxison he pumps into the world, its ppl like them that are turning everyone against eachother n making everyone depressed, not Mr beast, piers is scvm, she's scvm ..they all are
UA-camrs gazed in awe at the Olympian heights of Mr Beast a few years ago, during the pandemic - a time I think now is becoming peak UA-cam viewing.
Mr Beast's fake, forced smile against the dead look in his eyes is one of the creepiest things I've ever encountered. It never conveyed a sense of trust. I'm now wondering if he was the inspiration for the Smile horror film..
Yes! The dead eyes, terrifying. He's like a shark we've willingly released into a children's swimming pool, one with its fin replaced by a bottle of Prime.
I think he has an eye condition

i just googled him to see what you mean and i immediately got it- he looks like how i worry i look when i have to force a smile for a photo

Fab podcasts. The UA-cam algorithm found this for me. After ignoring it for a while, thinking it would be another tedious Rob Brydon type show biz luvvy luv fest (actors should stick to reading scripts), I gave it a go. Richard and Marina are a joy to listen to with their insights into the entertainment world. Binge listening the back catalogue.
Couldn't agree more! An absolute joy to listen to. Informative and fun!
My story is similar. Enjoying this one, and I barely bother with podcasts.
😂aww don’t have a go at Rob he’s great. Agree about this show though, it’s really good.
What do you do for a living, Matt?
I like Brydon - one interview, and done
Lunchables are very much alive in the UK in most supermarkets
I love this podcast and the variety of subjects. But I also love observing Richard and Marina. Richard being laid-back, but unable to sit still in his chair. Always. Marina talking at 100 miles an hour, animated, hands waving.
Wow the upskirting thing bought tears to my eyes, I hadn't heard that before, poor Britney. So degrading.
Thanks for another great podcast. I find the diversity of the topics from week to week great. It's always just enough to peak my interest in the subject, without going over the top. Every few weeks a topic that you do then sends me down my own rabbit hole of looking into it.
And then you have Mark Rober who is actually using his massive platform to make kids excited about STEM. His product is creating engineers and curious, creative people.
I really hope he remains as pure as he seems.
"Richard Osman's Genital Audit" sounds like a Partidge pitch.
What, ROGA? Absolute classic.
I rewatched the whole of The IT Crowd earlier this year on All4 for the first time in 15 years, and what stood out for me, that i never appreciated the first time round, was just how incredible Katherine Parkinson's performance in it was. I guess because when I first watched it I was focused on Moss and Roy. She is completely brilliant
Try Nathan Barley next
@@DaddyBiscuits I rewatch that often, it’s well Jackson

@@DaddyBiscuits definitely man, my Japanese phone with a big 5 on it didn’t come out until years after the show
I think I would be less forgiving of the fact that the Pauls, KSI (and his Sidemen), Mr Beast, and all the twenty-somethings in-between were making more money than god for being talentless in the practical sense, and exploiting their fanbase for everything they have over tat, if they weren't so bloody obnoxious about it.
Yeah tbh I wish they wouldn't produce so much tat aswell since they are financially able to make quality products if they really wanted to but are choosing not to
Do you perhaps mean you'd be more forgiving. Are you forgiving of them now?
why do we care about the viewers? they are muppets anyway
@@melissa.deklerk yes, more forgiving. You're quite right there.
@@Vanilla_Bushwhacking :) I also completely agree with your opinion. It's the absolute audacity with which they do it that irks and disgusts me.
I wish this podcast existed back in the days when Zoella released her advent calendar
That was the first notable case of exploitation of young UA-cam fans. And the stores recognising the fandom of UA-cam viewers.
Yes and specifically exploiting very young fans. Because another aspect to this is that say if the sidemen vodka is overpriced, most people don't really care because as adults most won't buy it but kids will feel they are supposed to (to fit in and have their parasocial relationship with the youtuber)
Vodka…kids…kids…vodka
An estate agent, an influencer, and a landlord walk into a bar.
Lunchables have been available in the UK for my entire life, maybe they’re not sold in the South
London people are very out of touch.
Back in the early 90s Michael Gove was on A Stab in the Dark going through people's bins.
I guarantee these people are not designing/building products. They've built a brand where some sort of portfolio/business manager is allowing some pitches to cross their desk, and they yay or nah it.
Thank god someone is addressing the Mr Beast debacle. I was appalled when i saw a huge grocery store chain, start selling this utter crap food. The store already sells bad stuff, but some brands are for not much money. But this is food as a marketing advertising card, supposedly to appeal to people who know who MR beast is, and to push boomers like me, who don't really get the lottery style draws on X/Twitter, and his hunger game vlogs on YT. No, im not a subscriber, but i do subscribe to around 10 YT channels, some one-and-off, others pretty i'm loyal to. And, i just feel like this is a garbage product. It's the dumbing down of your dollar - like, what is the crappest thing you can buy for 'not too much money'.
They can sell it at a premium too. They are no better than Disney
I love Jilly Cooper. She once went out of her way to be very kind to me when she really didn't have to. Just seems like a genuinely decent person.
13:15 fun fact: one of the needles that burst the tulip bubble was that the best-selling variegated varieties were only so striking because they were infected with a virus.
Was Marina on 2x speed this week?
The New shopping channel, To quote Partridge "they re-badged it you fool!"
There's a documentary on UA-cam about Benji the Binman.
Marina's bit about infomercials was interrupted by ... UA-cam adverts! As was you in-video Sky advert! 😅
Prime, 2 for the price of 1? They wish; some stores are selling it for as low as £10 for 36! bottles. You literally cannot get it off the shelves 😆
That "1% tone off thing", the perfect example of this is a BBCs adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Guards books, The Watch! Sky and Aardmaan's interpretations of Terry's work were far from flawless, but they had the tone right. But the BBC, tried something different with The Watch and the tone was so far off, it was universally hated. The thing was, it's was actually well made and enjoyable, and would probably have become a cult classic if they'd removed the discworld references and just done it as humorous cyberpunk.
There’s one computer in the whole disc world and that’s run by ants. How could it be cyberpunk?😅
That show was utterly unintelligible.
I think part of the problem as even to you guys don’t realise - ksi and Logan Paul do not own a majority in prime - they are not the ceos or founders, they are marketing gimmicks (albeit each with a 20% stake). Prime is owned in majority and manufactured by Congo Brands (60%) co-owned by Max Brands and Trey Steiger.
It’s why it’s pisses me off when they say they are making a business - they aren’t as you rightly say - maybe they come up with some advertisement ideas but they didn’t create the drink sort out all the details etc. They are no different to UA-camrs with shadowraid legend or nord vpn or surfshark sponsors, they just have managed to sell themselves for more (impressive in itself).
People will still buy the crap and give it to their kids, that’s the sad thing. And let’s be honest, American food standards are hardly the gold standard are they.
As bad as US food standards are, UK food standards are doing their best to race them to the bottom. The UK standards for what can be sold as 'ice cream' are already worse than the US.
Just had to google most of the mentions, prime a drink😮 love your podcast
I've tasted varieties of Prime, usually very cheap from Heron Foods. Its fine, no worse than a lot of other drinks on the market.
I've watched a few of these, and haven't seen a single show that they've discussed.
Me too! But I still love listening to them!
"...the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires"
you cant just sate nonsense as fact lol thats kinda the debate
@@PazLeBon It's a famous quote you muppet
@@mezzer34 dohh yeah i know its some jew guy said it, doesnt make it fkn fact lolol
As long as there are people clueless enough to not realise they’re being ripped off, there’ll be unscrupulous gits lining up to take their money. It’s the legitimisation of this process by platforms like this one that’s really worrying; the idea that it doesn’t matter HOW you make a pile of money, just that you do.
Oh, the comment on tone is so true. "Community", the first episode had a bit of a different tone to what the true tone of the series turned out being.
"Oh, it's just a sitcom".
Then you get naked people playing pool.
Agree about Alma's not normal, binged the 1st series this weekend &now halfway through s2. So funny & great cast
I thought the main actress in that, can’t remember her name but she was on last series of Taskmaster and she was brilliant, was about 65-70 years old! She’s in her mid-30s apparently!! 😂😂😂
Great show, though!
@@chrisknight2631 YES Thats how i discovered her too. She is like a breath of fresh air :)
we absolutely do have lunchables here, though recently renamed to lunchers, widely available, i can get them in my local shop. they used to have a bigger range, but now it seems you can only get two varieties, one with ham or one with chicken, both with crackers and cheese, but they don't come with drinks anymore, there's also 'snackers' that have chocolate instead of the meat. when I was a kid you'd get something more akin to the US, a pack with meat, crackers, cheese, a capri sun and a diam bar. there were hot dog and pizza versions too
Curtain twitching, ghostly shadows……😳
KSI is the prequel to the song by The Shamen right ?
Dairylea Lunchables are still sold everywhere, including in the limited environs of my local Sainsbury's
Lunchables are still everywhere
Thank you so much for watching crap so I don't have to. Great commentary, btw I just googled that Prime drink..1 can = 2 cans of red bull in caffeine content. Flogging poison to kids eh?.. Disgusting!
Most prime varieties aren’t caffeinated. The lunchables ones obviously aren’t.
theres 2 versions of Prime drink, Prime Hydration has no caffeine in it. Prime Energy is the one in the can that contains caffeine. tbh i have never seen anyone drink the cans. Ive tried the bottle one, its disgusting.
Richard You talked about lunchables on WILTY
I loved Alma's not normal & thought Siobhan Finneran's false teeth should have been given an award for an outstanding performance.
As with a lot of music not just UA-camr music, it doesn't matter if it's good music companies just want it to do good numbers. It's trending number 1 on UA-cam and has 27 million views when I just checked. It's terribleness will just make more people check it out and its a vicious cycle. Record companies don't want good art, they want bankable songs that make money, and looking at the news today KSI is a judge on BGT, which translates to more audience numbers and therefore more sales for adverts for the production.
I don't think Marina can have been paying attention to the charts for the last 30 years if that KSI song is the worst thing she's ever heard, to me it sounds no worse than a lot of stuff that's done bafflingly well.
Never thought I would love a Guardian columnist but Marina is very good!
My target audice 11 year old now finds Mr Beast content tiresome. He can sniff the corporatisation and a sense of desparation creeping in after recent (alleged) scandals. Incidetnally, have you ever tried Prime? Dear God it's like how I imagine toxic waste would taste.
You can stop with the hyberbole, everyone has tried Prime now it's cheap and it's not bad at all compared to comparative products. At £3 a pop it's a rip off and you'd go for something like Calypso every time, at 49p a pop it's one of the better drinks at that pricepoint by some margin.
@@FlatDerrick Logan?
Toxic Waste is tasty. Sour if you don't like licking lemons. As sweet as other sweets
7:55 The problem for me saying "They're both doing the same thing" is that, yes they're selling similar products, but they're going about it in totally different ways, the advertising dynamic is completely different
For instance, nobody is buying Lunchables because they want to support Kraft, but there's almost certainly a group of consumers that would buy Lunchly instead of Lunchables because they want to support KSI or Logan as creators despite them already having ridiculous levels of generational wealth
You could argue that Kraft advertise to the parents of children, where Lunchly is directly targetting the kids themselves the same way Prime did.
If anyone wonders what I mean by "the same way Prime did" ask yourself this - Are parent's going to see a product advertised and buy their kids hundreds of pounds worth of it at inflated prices on their own accord? Of course not, that whole situation was because the kids were so desperate for the new social status product that it spawned all that madness, especially once the price gouging started
The entire schtick for Prime and Lunchly is that if you're not drinking/eating it at school you're not part of the cool kids club, like iPhone vs Android, and they even picked the enemies too in Powerade/Gatorade and Lunchables
On another note... How long until Lunchly gets sued by the company manufacturing Lunchly for them once the hype dies down and the sales plummet like Prime? Which my local corner shop had priced at 4 for £1 yesterday
I think Prime still sells quite well. It’s just no long crazy popular.
This came on the day of Liam Payne dying. I didn’t see them fortunately but I'm seeing headlines that TMZ published the pictures of his body after the fall. If true, and I've seen the claim in a few different places, it shows that the ghoulish behaviour of that celeb paparazzi tabloid era is still with is despite the passage of time.
I have the perfect look for the before picture for a fitness video (available on VHS, Betamax & Video 2000)
listening to bits of this, i've come to realise, i pretty much, just watch olde tv and film..
they're speaking a foreign language..!
Loved the English teacher, so funny and so clear what it is and different to other shows around.
WHOA! What’s wrong with Shopping Telly hosts?!?!
Okay. There are / were some dodgy ones.
But others, like me, were BRILLIANT.
And modest, too.
Ahhhh, Price Drop TV.
Wasn’t it WONDERFUL?!?!
Well i guess im adding jilly cooper to my tbr. 😊
Never had any of KSI or Logan Paul videos come up on any of my UA-cam recommendations. Pretty sure I’m not their target demographic and suspect I will live the rest of my days without them crossing my path
With the paparazzi I still think it’s weird when papers still publish wardrobe malfunctions; like come on have we not moved on from this
Much as I agree with you there was a certain degree in irony about what the first section of the podcast was about ending with the two hosts having to do a read for Sky.
@Lokster71 Oh but it's okay when they do it, Marina is a Guardian luvvie after all.
In a very thin analogy, perhaps. But (1) is Sky a ripoff or harmful or your health, and (2) are Marina and Richard powerful influencers who have an effect on a large tract of a generation?
@@EdwardLindonI look forward to reading your list of acceptable goods and services that can be advertised and the celebrities that you allow to advertise them.
@@EdwardLindonyes to both
Only about 10 years late to the topic of UA-camrs ripping off kids
It was if UA-cam didn’t have the same advertising standards laws that TV and Print has.
I can't believe Richards pointed out what TDM stands for but not KSI. The I, believe it or not, stands for Integrity.
I thought it was Key Stage 1, but the 1 is an I.
My big issue (aside from Logan being a scammer etc.) is that these people have cultivated an almost cult-like following of children. Children who cannot (or, perhaps, will not) think for themselves or act rationally.
They should be legally allowed to release things like this, but if they are abusing the somewhat unprecedented level of control they have over millions of children to sell them processed garbage during an obesity epidemic, they have no right to be respected.
Rivals looks exactly the sort of thing I’d enjoy, but it’s a crying shame it’s on Disney+. I will never subscribe to that, so I’ll have to pass.
The world is in a very sad state.....kids aspiring to be people who add no value to society.
Lunchables are available in the uk
The irony that the first advert I got was KSI's thick of it.... I am not joking.
And twice.
"These UA-camrs with there immoral advertising..... Now here's a message from our sponsors at Sky"
I know i'm listening to industry professionals when I hear the phrase 'genital audit'...
If it IS David Tennent that does a full frontal, we can see if Billie Piper’s nickname for him was true! When they did Doctor Who she gave him the nickname of David Teninch!
Love the podcast guys but please tell Marina Hyde to slow down. The Rivals section of this podcast is barely comprehensible she’s talking so fast.
She's better at x0.75 speed!
Worth pointing out they "only" own 20% each and neither are listed on their companies house key people page.
Twenty percent each is a massive stake
Mr Beast has taken such a tumble in people's estimation.
Will we find out if it is really Mr. Teninch?
YES wtf is up with my 8yo niece wanting elemis ????
I hope this brings new regulations. It’s disgusting that KSI and Logan, and their friends can hold a bottle of prime, drink it, have it in the background and they do not have to have a symbol or disclaimer saying ‘paid product placement’ they have undisclosed ads which is illegal.
It's their product.
@@ceesmith Is it though?
What's the best way to listen to this podcast, am I missing out on music, edits etc watching on YT?
@11:42 I also sit and watch infomercials at times. I think my favorite is knife show or shoedinni.
Oh yeah I am loving Ludwig too!
Just discovered this podcast.. very good 👍👍
Lunchables still exist
Yeah they’re not hard to find
They do but they've been rebranded
Did anyone say they don’t?!?!?
At the begining he said they were here in the uk for a little bit and then gone but no they still exist
Are the colour bars deliberate ? or just incompetent?
Kids and their hard earned money…being wasted
What people on digital media pretending to think some shit product is great?! Who, I mean who would do that?!?!?!?! What do you think about Sky by the way?
I'm 6 minutes in and I have still heard of NONE of these people! Blissfully out of touch lol
Coffeezilla has been calling out Logan Paul for years now digging into Logan. Historically, its very clear that Logan is an exploitative, irresponsible scammer and there are victims of his scam (Even though he's defiantly denying it and is recently suing Coffeezilla for defamation on his crypto!) and how Logan Paul still has an audience is both seriously concerning and disgusting.
I do think celebrity culture is slightly better, but the bad aspects are not gone, they just transformed. Hitpieces in the past were mocking, now they are packaged as concern. Fans in the past were happy to get the attention of their favourites just enough to get an autograph. Now fans use celebrities to gain attention to themselves, running towards them with phone already in hand. I've seen a video of Dua Lipa just walking down the street and a woman jumped in her space, phone already at selfie angle, then security swatted her away and making her drop the phone, but she didn't even flinch, she just picked it up and continued. Also a Dua Lipa example was her sharing an image of herself on social media that a paparazzo took, and the latter sued her for not asking for permission to use it, even though he didn't get permission to photograph her in the first place. They are all parasites.
Love the podcast and love hearing your insights. Overstepped a buit to say KSIs song is the worst ever. I agree its not one of the best but im sure you could kind 3 other KSI songs that are worst. Usually a more balanced opinion or admitted/known bias.
Nothing more than snake oil salesmen peddling literal trash
The phrase the internet never forgets....and pass few years i still wonder if that is the case
Hmmmmm? I think every piece of media should have a genital audit! That would be a great job title on the credits!
Richard Osman Genital Auditor.
Reaction videos are the absolute laziest form of content creation. They rarely add any entertainment or informational value.
No idea what a ksi is but I’m glad after watching this 😂
I enjoy this but she really needs to talk a bit slower, and maybe not talk over Richard before he’s finished saying what he’s saying.
They’ve only just noticed? 😄
Richard might be the only heterosexual male in existance thats read a Jilly Cooper book
Take a breath Marina..
i saw the ksi interview on the one show where they played some of the song (which me and my dad both vocally said how bad it was) then viewers were subject to a few minutes of nonsense explanation about what the song was, i understand why the one show had him on but surly someone in the production team shoud have said look i know hes massive on youtube but this song is rubbish and we shouldnt have him on.
can you still buy prime?
The song wasn't that bad 😂 sure it's a little dated and disneyesque but I've heard worse. That trippiered was worse in that song.
UA-camrs have very big egos and very thin skins - there are quite a few out there who think they are a deity and that they are untouchable. KSI is due to be seen on Britain's Got Talent auditions - this will go down well for them .. not. BGT trying so much to get new viewers joining, as their ratings collapse every year as more people get bored with the same dull turgid crap pumped out by Cowell and Co.
Not a fan of Paul, KSI or any of them, but as for the song being the worst thing ever, it's not. There's a decent Country vibe with the guitar and an ok chorus. It's not high art but neither is it rubbish. The worst part about the song is the promotion of Prime but that has nothing to do with the song itself. There's a tendency to want to put down anything these youtubers produce and then it's everyone on the bandwagon. You should aim to be fair in all things.
The sheer cheeky irony of going on about celebs selling products and endorsing them and then slipping in an advert for a sky show that they clearly haven’t watched and yet that segment is filmed in the same tone as their recommendation section is off the charts.
