Did you know that if you drink the blue liquid inside of a magic 8-ball, you can see the future? It's true! My buddy Keith did it, and he said he was going to die, and he did!
I love how Ashens kept the same his whole UA-cam career. No dramatic sound effects, not shouting on camera, no long annoying video transitions. Just straight forward entertainment.
A little fun fact about Magic 8-Balls: They usually have a 20-sided die in them, with 10 sides giving a positive answer, 5 giving a neutral answer, and 5 giving a negative Why am I bringing this up? Because from what I've been able to see [which granted isn't much given the alcohol that is darker than my self-esteem], the Sour Sphere™️ seems to contain an 8-sided die instead of a 20 Why's that matter? It doesn't. At all. But, assuming I'm right, it's kinda funny that the manufacturer couldn't've been bothered getting a d20 mold, and yet at the same time with it being an essential dollar store product, it's unsurprising But there's also the question on whether or not the 8th side contains a phrase not listed on the box or just a repeat of one of the other 7 If anyone's mad enough to crack open this Cranky Citrus™️ and prove me wrong on it being a d8 in there, I'd love that But at the same time I wouldn't recommend it because I feel like if you got any of that dark blue alcohol on you it's not going to wash out easily
They're triangular die with a hole on one of the faces so it moves in the liquid. I cracked one open at the seam and the whole ball isn't full of liquid, it's a cylindrical plastic tube thats only as thin as the plastic window you look through to see the dice. Very very weird to look inside when your entire life you've thought the entire thing was full of liquid

@@goeland4585 fun fact: most people attribute the effective communication methods during the world war to morse code, but actually these signs were the most effective warning system back in the day
That in-video advertisement fit in perfectly with the rest of Stuart's video content, lol. It didn't even really feel like an ad and I didn't end up skipping ahead like I usually would.
The "brix" have a naught-to-three-sad-onions on the outside, but the instructions say for 6+. So if you're 4-5 years old, you can open it up, but not assemble it?
Poorly molded Army Men are underrated in the "bad toy" arena. They're always hilarious. I'm actually impressed that the guns weren't droopy on these, I rarely even see well-made army men with non-fucked-up guns.
Even Games Workshop models' weapons can come off the sprue suffering from droopage. And GW's plastic crack usually costs significantly more than ~ 2p each!
"If Only I Could" is by Jakub (not Jason) Różalski aka Mr Werewolf for anyone interested. He's a well known concept artist who worked on The Witcher 3 and did some concepts for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie.
When Ashens doesn't realize he's reviewed those same exact army men before they were just green. Almost had EXACTLY the same reaction to the loping machine gun man as well. It's the poundland special with the deathknights :)
@@areyousureyouenteredyourna85 On the other hand, eating a ballistic missile under a parasol doesn't really sound like a fun time. I wonder how they taste.
I'm a mum of three AFAB kids, one born in 1994, the next in 2005, and the youngest in 2009. When my oldest was a kid, in the 90s, it felt like so much progress had been made since my own childhood, as a girl who, yes, liked some 'traditionally girly' things, but was far more of a tomboy, in the '70s. I grew to detest and reject pink simply due to how much it was forced on us back then, for example. When my oldest was under 10, I banned Barbies as gifts, in an attempt to prevent them becoming the overwhelming majority source of gifts/toys/products. It worked! She had a few secondhand ones that she used to play with in the bath :-) but not everything Barbie, as happens to so many little girls. She had a complete mix of toys. Dolls, L'ego, Playmobil - so much of the Playmobil fantasy world sets, including the large castle, from the big dept. store in Manchester, because she was my Mum and Dad's first grandkid and they were spoiling her! Lots of crafting stuff and paints, boardgames. The Early Learning Centre was my favourite toy shop back then, there were no seperate 'boys' and 'girls' toy aisles like at Toys R' Us, or over here in France, like there used to be at Jouet Club until only a few years ago - their shops were literally divided in two by gender! It was the same with kids clothes too. Not perfect, but there were plenty of options in the 90s for kids clothes that didn't push rigid, patriarchal, toxic gender roles that are harmful for all genders, for cis kids and for the nascent queer and trans kids who are still figuring out who they are. But by the time my middle daughter was born in 2005, it felt that everything had regressed back to where we were in, maybe the 80s, if not earlier? We were back to the strict gender roles again. Looking around big chain shops like Mothercare, the messaging was back to the words of the old-fashioned rhyme: Boys: slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails Girls: sugar and spice and all things nice This translated to modern boys products having images of spaceships, tractors, cars, lorries, bikes, knights, dragons, dinosaurs etc and words like "Trouble", colours were blue, brown, grey, dark and sombre, even the reds tended to be dark - burgundy, rather than a brighter scarlet. Summer clothes would be paler, of course, but still the same colours. Girls had fairies, princesses and unicorns, glitter and sequins, and the words were "Princess" or similar. Just as in this video, once out of the baby stage, it was the same withe toys. But even that's not true! This toxic gendering of toys and everything in children's lives is so pernicious it even starts at birth with baby equipment and baby toys for newborns who have no capacity to understand the societal significance of different colours but also their eyes can't even see pale pastel colours like baby pink and baby blue (or bloody sad beige, for that matter, but that's a whole other rant!) My middle daughter turne out to be completely gender non-conforming from the age of 3/4. A total tomboy, as we used to say. (Now 18, she's definitely cis, we had an open conversation about how people can be trans from an early age.) She loved Spiderman, Pokeman, watching DragonBall Z, and playing Minecraft. Now, it's One Piece, JoJo, AoT, reading manga, watching anime on Crunchyroll, playing Fallout and painting GW minis and World of Tanks, well, tanks. My youngest is my trans son, who only came out as trans in the last year. He followed the steps of my middle daughter and was very much more interested in L'ego, Minecraft and Roblox, as well as being very creative. We moved to France in late 2005 and I did find that although the toy shops here were more strictly gendered when it came to separating the aisles, the clothes were far less heavily gendered and had much more interesting choices. Even, obviously pretty girls clothes still came in a far wider range of colours, including grey, brown and even black, and without such obviously toxic messaging. Anyway, sorry for such a long comment on an old video! And Ashens, I have no idea if you read these but if you do, as someone close in age, probably a few years older at 52, a 'girl gamer' who had a ZX81 in 81, and has played vidéo games ever since (and before even on an early knock off console my parentsacquired from somewhere), I would love it if you'd make pointless gendering the theme of a video one day. You do bring it up now and then but it would be fantastic to have your expert knowledge and thoughts on how we've progressed and regressed in toys and entertainment media over the last several decades! 💚
I was tempted to buy some Displates but after reading some recent reviews it seems like the artists barely get anything at all for commission (like $1-$2 unless they post an affiliate link and then they get a little more and they have to earn 50 to get paid at all), and a lot of creations use stolen artwork too. And the posters themselves have multiple reviews about falling off the wall and the mounting bit peeling off, damages on arrival and some posters coming all blurry and low-res. Shame. I really liked the abstract roshi one, the outrun one, and the poster of Ornstein and Smough, but I definitely wouldn't order if none of them were actually from the original artist themselves.
The original artist of the picture with the cows is not even named Jason Różalski. The author's name is Jakub. If you search for "Jason Różalski" it only gives you some Pinterest posts uploaded by random people. The original author's website is jrozalski. com, and as far as I'm aware the guy is not using aliases other than mr_werewolf. Im almost certain that they are simply stealing this art from Pinterest.
I've seen many artists I follow on Twitter have their art straight-up stolen by Displate recently. Obviously this isn't Ashens' fault but no one should buy anything from then and I hope he never advertises them again.
Those soldiers used to provide me endless fun as a kid. I’d pick out the ones I liked the most and have battles outside in the dirt, or in the fake plants inside my Nana’s house, or the bath. I had cowboys, space ones, army ones. I loved those things.
Wooow, I just rediscovered this channel after *ages*. Used to watch him years ago, I'm glad to see he still has his iconic sofa. Never knew I'd see him again
Oh yes, I'm so glad that there's a new Poundland special. Watching these are for some reason as comforting as having a nice warm blanket draped over your shoulders
Finally Dollar Tree has surpassed Poundland in the field of generic lego. They currently sell a set of 6 different vehicles that join together to form a voltron-esq robot.
I swear I remember Barry making the "belt made of watches = waist of time" joke on one of the 'Don't Laugh' episodes on Barshens. You didn't laugh then either.
Your channel is the only one where I'm perfectly willing to sit through the entire paid promotion part. Your genuineness and unique brand of humor keeps them interesting and entertaining :)
3:33 I once watched Die Hard 2 on TV in Toronto and they silenced the word "Motherfucker" to remove only the "Mother" part! It took me a while to notice the idiocy.
I guess a fucker is less bad than a motherfucker. And what else could they silence but the word mother? If they would have silenced the word fucker they would have ended up with mother, which isnt an insult.
I must admit being a huge aviation enthusiast I love the F-104G Starfighter (Luftwaffe) and the E.E Canberra B.2. Huge respect to your Dad for working on those. :)
Ah Jesus.. those mushrooms.. I literally said to my girlfriend when we saw them the other day Ashens will definitely feature those in his next Poundland video.. I wasn’t wrong clearly *burns image from mind with parafin, bleach and a match*
To be fair, the Thin Men were kind of the military version of the Thin Men, given that they were an invading force. But, you know, these ones are a lot more openly militaristic.
My dad was in the RAF too, back in the 60s. He was stationed at Cosford, Brize Norton and Innsworth among others. Served overseas in Aden and Hong Kong. Unfortunately no longer with us since last year.
The Ashens are returning to the Poundlands, nature is healing

Ashens seems to have forgotten that he once bought 100 toy soldiers for a pound... That's inflation at work!
The soldiers seem to have exactly the same designs as before, too.

A little fun fact about Magic 8-Balls: They usually have a 20-sided die in them, with 10 sides giving a positive answer, 5 giving a neutral answer, and 5 giving a negative
Why am I bringing this up? Because from what I've been able to see [which granted isn't much given the alcohol that is darker than my self-esteem], the Sour Sphere™️ seems to contain an 8-sided die instead of a 20
Why's that matter? It doesn't. At all.
But, assuming I'm right, it's kinda funny that the manufacturer couldn't've been bothered getting a d20 mold, and yet at the same time with it being an essential dollar store product, it's unsurprising
But there's also the question on whether or not the 8th side contains a phrase not listed on the box or just a repeat of one of the other 7
If anyone's mad enough to crack open this Cranky Citrus™️ and prove me wrong on it being a d8 in there, I'd love that
But at the same time I wouldn't recommend it because I feel like if you got any of that dark blue alcohol on you it's not going to wash out easily
Why are both the names you gave it better than the actual name
But now I really *want* some one to crack it open and find out!!!
That´s probably also the reason it´s hard to "roll" properly. Too angular.

That's the same in every town. Before the smoking ban I saw people smoking shopping around farm foods. Got to love Britain.
I swear I remember Barry making the "belt made of watches = waist of time" joke on one of the 'Don't Laugh' episodes on Barshens. You didn't laugh then either.
One of my associates has informed me that you have a beverage container for me, may I ask how I may avail of this most gracious offer kind sir?
Classic
it could take a while, I'm still waiting on getting my touch sensitive guitar back
Antonio Stella Bottom Tile OH MY GOD 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is dedication
That ashens art is looking pretty good. Gotta love the 0-3 sad onions print featuring happy onions, indifferent onions and surprised onions!
Girls' locker room: "Let's go eat ice cream after school!"
Boys' locker room: "Any of you dudes got the new intercontinental ballistic missiles?"
Boys' locker room: *geiger counter noises*
Consural the boys will once they’ve grown up 🤣 lol
@@kevinm5940 lol
"Are you our new God?"
"I'm not listening"
Makes sense to me.
This is kind of a big moment. To be here with the video so fresh
Same for me, and I’ve been watching forever lol
Fresh as the Bitter Lemon
Imagine running out of bog roll during quarantine and only having that crappy joke toilet paper.
Oh no! I wanted to keep this roll forever! Now that I used it, reading the jokes is a lot harder.
Surnis !!! This is a cursed comment.
When I saw the paid promotion bit at the start I thought for a brief, beautiful second you'd been recruited by Poundland's marketing team.
He owns poundland so why would he promote himself to poundland's marketing team?
I miss Poundland, I'm shielding until the 1st of August since I've got a kidney transplant... I love your Poundland videos.
I would totally just buy that Twunt Waffle mug for myself, would give me a giggle until it broke, so at least two uses
What, may I ask, is so amusing about crockery bearing my name?
@@tarquinwuntwaffle7481 'Cause you sound like a Grand Moff?
I love seeing stuff that I got at Christmas showing up on the sofa
I want a version of Toy Story, where Andy gets THESE army men instead.
All the dialogue for them are various "BLYATs" and "OY BLINs"
Wouldn’t change the story at all
Your channel is the only one where I'm perfectly willing to sit through the entire paid promotion part. Your genuineness and unique brand of humor keeps them interesting and entertaining :)
paused an Ashens video. To watch an Ashens video. Joyous day.
Ashens: "What name does she look like to me?"
Me: Deborah? Kathy? Susan?
Ashens: "BATTLECRON THREE THROUSAND."
"You often get those in buckets of soldiers"... I'll take your word on it, seeing as you're the only person who would know this.
nice to see you taking that ad money, you deserve it for the years of great content
3:33 I once watched Die Hard 2 on TV in Toronto and they silenced the word "Motherfucker" to remove only the "Mother" part! It took me a while to notice the idiocy.
I guess a fucker is less bad than a motherfucker. And what else could they silence but the word mother? If they would have silenced the word fucker they would have ended up with mother, which isnt an insult.
They usually overdub it with “Melonfarmer”, so that the actor’s lips stay in synch.
@@ABW941 the point usually isn't to keep an insult but to not offend. If they cared about continuity they wouldn't fuck with the dubbing at all.
Ashens, bringing you the joy of shiny mushrooms and the mystery of where to leave them.
That's literally The Red Army, that explains the Russian flag
And the thinness.
@@CarrotConsumer Too soon
@@deetvleet It's been 100 years
Persim Berry Joke =/= Historically Accurate
I must admit being a huge aviation enthusiast I love the F-104G Starfighter (Luftwaffe) and the E.E Canberra B.2. Huge respect to your Dad for working on those. :)
This is what we needed in these trying times
Those Różalski prints are great, reminds me a lot of Simon Stålenhag's work
Saw paid promotion and when 12:20 was on screen thought he was doing a bad dragon ad.
Let's play a game called: "Where am I Hiding my Lawn Ornament?" ;)
HaydenX in his panties 😂
Ah Jesus.. those mushrooms.. I literally said to my girlfriend when we saw them the other day Ashens will definitely feature those in his next Poundland video.. I wasn’t wrong clearly *burns image from mind with parafin, bleach and a match*
My wife has really got into gardening during the lockdown boredom, she keeps buying chrome garden ornaments.
Those soldiers are like the military versions of the 'Thin Men' from Xcom.
To be fair, the Thin Men were kind of the military version of the Thin Men, given that they were an invading force. But, you know, these ones are a lot more openly militaristic.
My dad was in the RAF too, back in the 60s. He was stationed at Cosford, Brize Norton and Innsworth among others. Served overseas in Aden and Hong Kong. Unfortunately no longer with us since last year.
That twunt waffle mug was like a punch to the gut. It made me laugh so hard I forgot how to breathe for a second.
I fail to see what is so amusing about it.
Rapteroni everyone knows someone who should be given that mug for Christmas lol 😂
If those soldiers were into "cyber-combat" shouldn't they be, like, sitting at computers or something?
Maybe they operate on Hollywood logic, and those are their VR world avatars or somethin'.
Don't funck with the red army, twuntwaffle.
4:50 They're Cyber Combat soliders... and the flag on the inside is Russian... google Glavset ;)
I think he was being sarcastic about the flag. You can't be an adult and don't recognize the Russian flag.
That was a fun Wikipedia rabbit hole
@@Anarchidi You can actually. Although it doesn't happen in Britain, in US it's quite common.
@@LordDragox412 no
@@froggybrolly small world hahaha
That pound land mug seems like a Christmas present from your boss who happens to be a manager at Poundland.
The "2" on the "Bitter Lemon" is for £2... and the flag in the soldiers is the Russian flag!
Stuart is a communist. I KNEW IT!!!
!
That's why they are red then.
@@dogwalker666 My thoughts exactly
Ohh so that's why they're all red! It's the communist army!
When it said 'includes paid promotion' I genuinely thought Ashens had been sponsored by Poundland 😂😂
METALICOCK!
that's one for the Spaced fans.
Loving the PS2 shovelware at 10:05.
"Pink Pong" and "Ultimate Mind Games"? Truly the best games on the platform.
I see you found Barry Lewis’s list of dad jokes there 😂
The twunt waffle reveal was the most sublime thing I've ever seen I'm still laughing
I have never revealed myself to you and I resent the slanderous accusation you blaggard. Pistols at dawn it shall be!
That "Do you see!?!?!?" was even more fraught than usual
6:39 i find ashens' vague tone of horror/befuddlement at the comically long shotgun a lot funnier than i probably should
I can confirm the "2" means it costs two of your English Pounds. I work at Poundland. :)
Not seen these at our branch though... yet.
Can you pass on up the chain to get ashens and big Clive on the packaging
I offer my condolences
Did Ashens inspire you to apply for a job there?
"do you see"
:)
"do you see!?"
:( ono
"DO YOU SEE"
"DO YOU SEE"
Those toy soldiers look like hollows from Dark Souls. Damn, now I want a modern military souls game
It's so great to see you after all this time. Love your videos.
Poundland should be a brothel.
Filled with cheap Chinese knockoffs.
A feed of Barry's mind! lol. oh man. I'm glad you two are friends. :D That was a good one.
When ashens has a PhD in psychology and doesn’t recognize the Russian flag
Well... it's not a PhD in geography...
Ah yes, flags, psychology 101
:p
Are you saying Stewart is available as a shrink?
Too bad you probably can't get a doctorate in vexillology.
I love the bass in the music on the 2nd time lapse!
4:00 you are incorrect. It's supposed to say "Balls Hitter," as in the genitals.
I swear, that couch has been replaced. The tears and the stains I recognize are gone.
I didn't even put together that the plaque was censored incorrectly until Ashens pointed it out. XD
I love the titles of these videos. I was looking forward to a slightly bitter waffle that fell in an army toilet lol.
