Jesus Christ. That Surfshark ad was next level.
Honestly that is literally the only time in my life I knew I was being marketed to and yet I still watched every damn second of it. Rich is like the advertising antichrist.
I enjoyed that epic ad most on this one! I feel ya.
Holy Hell, what a lead up. That, was art
He really set it up like 3 episodes ago. Genius, or madman?
Had to pause the video for a few minutes just to soak in just how great that ad was.
OMG. The commitment to that Surfshark ad. LOL
It was a 3 minute ad! And I loved every second.
Switching over from expressVPN to SurfShark just because of the ad! Ha they're all the same now, just diff logo.
@@xinyster18 their are alot of free ones. I actually made my own vpn. Very simple wish i came up with the idea of charging people for a VPN I would be flithy rich by now😂
LOL Totally!!!
Was that real or am I’m just dumb?
Riches ads have a better story than most full length movies.
I was sad it ended.
I watch his videos just for the ads
hell yeah
And its free 😂😂😂
yeah I mean, he tells a huge story within only 3minutes
He literally found a way to entertain me with an ad
That was the best VPN ad EVER.
Dude. Best ad ever
Creative 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You should check out some of Internet historians Nord ads
I thought Cyanide and Happiness had good VPN ads but this is another level 😂
How sad when someone is so dull that they rate VPN ads, even sadder, get excited about the results and then the saddest of all, they talk about their sadness in public. I wonder which VPN you awarded second prize to?
If batteryhookup's marketing isn't 'single batteries in your local area,' I'm gonna be disappointed.
Underrated
You a fool 😂😂😂
Rich is getting like the superbowl, some people only watch for the Ads
One of the only places where I'll actually watch an ad for more than 5 seconds. Reason being that I don't even k ow it's an ad until it's too late. South Park was right. 😂
I'm honestly starting to get convinced that Rich does in fact make most of his money at the seed bank
he does
I don’t think there’s another UA-cam channel I’ve seen that puts as much effort into the commercials for their sponsors. 😂

Longbeachgriffy lol
@@micoromico
Donut media sometimes
Rich: *teaches people how to repair cars, how EVs work, why the right to repair is important, how to mod and tune cars*
Also Rich:
*I HAVE NOW LEGALLY COOM TOO MUCH*
I didnt know you could make 150 per deposit
Jeez Rich, there are easier ways to make money than selling seed. I mean you do have a PATREON, something I've never done, not once; I've also never sold my seed.
We'll know he hit rock bottom when he starts doing BioLife spots and opens an onlyfans
i mean theres also easier ways to do a advertisement than shooting a full length film......but here we are LOL
There has to be demand in order for something to sell.
Unsubbed till both yall have Onlyfans. Mostly jusy Sam tho, Rich.... eh.
Well bless your heart...
The level of commitment to the writing in this video opener is absolutely amazing.
What a fucking segue for that ad, holy shit
Rich has the most smooth transitions and backstories to an ad
and i aint complaining bout it
Bad times here in Italy, we're in lockdown and the only thing that makes me happy is when uncle Rich upload a video
Non pensavo ci fossero altri italiani hahah
Same here in London
@@lorenzodemonti neanche io pensavo, grande✌🏽
Same in Glasgow
@Lincoln Orcutt they dont work period but ok
Best ad set up in a UA-cam video ever! Amazing!!
that was one of the greatest ads ive seen on youtube.
The dc to dc converter would fit perfectly where the old battery was, then cut an access hole. It also had the wires ran already to the front...
Love how he uses educational communication instead of talking like we are all experts
The only channel were im excited to learn about random EV stuff and watch paid for promotional loot.
I wish I had a Cyberquad going for me 😍
You have alot going for you John 💪🏽keep grinding!
@@carsnob er485eaÁee
How about inviting Rich over to build you one John
You should make an electric vette go kart 👀
It's the karma from Bastardizing a classic Camaro. That's going to haunt you for a long time.
I have to admit it - half the reason I watch these videos is to see Rich’s response to haters and the ad transitions.
I have been watching rich and I just wanna leave a comment to let you know bud that your the most interesting car build channel out of all I have seen you do things that are actually more realistic than people with high end cars and high end garages going and getting 10 grand worth of tires this channel is down to earth and its fun to watch keep them coming bud
The set up for that Surfshark plug was great lol
Rich is single handedly restoring my faith in humanity.
One seed at a time...
Yeah, looking for European tour :)
Your sponsored bit is one of the only ones I dont skip because it's a good laugh.
Well done uncle rich
This level of story building for an ad is why I subscribe. Thanks, rich.
You know what...no I am gonna leave. Y'all better do a compilation of these ads on new year's eve because y'all have supported the ad finessing from day 1. Keep that energy
Wait so rebuilds is not his last name?
No its boiiiii
No its white
CarGuru was his last name. He had to legally change it.
Rich Benoit?? I think..
No it's reseed
Gold, pure gold, I love your intros!!!
„Pirates are pretty cool!“
Exactly what I’m thinking every morning for the last 15 years while putting on my prosthetic leg! 🦿
@Joshua Pittman
Because I’m a cyborg on top.... “cyborg Pirat” 🤔 it won’t get better than that!
Pirates are fantastic, I just am not certain I can be a good enough one. Bless you and the peg leg.
Get well soon
@@azerwhite8870 Hahahahaha! 🤣
Hell ya ur basically a cyborg🕺🏿🍾
Great to see the practical info you are sharing, encouraging the DIY community. But the pure entertainment value, that's what makes this channel a winner. Keep pumping 'em out (not talking about the kids).
I'm trying to force Tesla to give you your referral points back.
That's like trying to force Satan to give you your soul back.
"Read the small print, mortal. Hahahahahahahaaa." Etc.
That's like trying to force Google to write "don't be evil" back.
How are you gonna do it
@@Ingens_Scherz All states require "good faith" in the course of doing business. It would be child's play to prove that Tesla lacked good faith by taking away Rich's referral points
@@daniesalex7073 I'm gonna refuse to buy a car.
Thanks for going into the nitty gritty details. Super interesting... and I only understand half of it!
It’s a good goddamn day when rich uploads
What a clutch finish to a video!
For those of us who stuck around.
"My kids will have a white dad in no time" ur too funny man
Thanks Rich...the world is a better place with you in it. You're saving our planet.
Loved the surfshark ad. You are genius! Perfect set up, perfect execution, perfect deliver and great punchline. You should be writing for SNL.
2:55 the web pages that are open on the web browser just made my day! we all new.....
Big brain idea for the 12v. Flip it upside down and cut a hole through the floor so the terminals always have easy access.
So basically make a TVR Tuscan Speed Six battery?
That was one nice fire hazard for sure
@@Kalvinjj exactly what I was thinking when I wrote the comment, just didn't remember the car.
That ad, I will never skip it. Awesome
Lol I can't tell if he's actually selling his seed or not
You cant it's charity only
why would he not?
Surfshark ad is dedication... I'll just subscribe to reward that!!!
And I thought Linu Tech Tips has the smoothest ad transition. Congratulations Rich! 👏👏👏 you have the best and smoothest ad transition!
TechAltar is very smooth.
agingwheels also making a good transition
Rich Rebuilds-Probably the best ads on UA-cam.
We love seeing this come together! I’m a certified mini tech and while they are fun cars. They do break a lot and they are expensive to repair.
The only channel where I watch the entire ad!
This guy is incredible. The first 3 minutes was pure comedy gold. ("Keep on keeping on" -Joe Dirt)
someone give this guy a medal because I've never liked a ad this much
I already have a vpn but I’ll get Surfshark purely because of that intro 😂
Rich my man. What kind of a KING would skip over [ the honey comb ] but it is ok we still love you ❤
7:45 straight across the battery terminals good way to ruin a tape measure
I know you got friends and family first thing that I was thinking about don't change keep doing what you doing and your videos are quality again keep up the good work.
This guy flex on us in an respectable way🤣🤣
Dawg😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the intro that ties into the ad is epic
Dang, you are a good entertainer! I loved the intro, I was so involved in the story and... you threw a commercial on my face! I didn't even notice nor I mind it! lol Keep it up!
Troubleshooting those ESC totally turns me off about projects like this .
Keep it up Rich !
I'm thinking that you will NEED a very strong securing method for the second/upper battery pack to prevent major/fatal trauma that would result from the huge battery mass being thrown forward in a frontal collision!! I'm imagining a very robust pair of cables secured to the rear frame and wrapping around the upper battery pack.
Exactly! Just rip those rear seats out.
No exhaust, no gas tank. He could cut and lower the floor a lot. He’d need to find somebody that can weld, though...
That is actually a good idea ,
@@andy1056 he could ask Leenda 😂😂
He’s the only creator on whose videos I watch for the ads.
Why am I watching this, I can’t even afford a AA battery
That lead up into the Surfshark pitch gave me chills!
I was not prepared to be flexed on that hard during the intro
I think we all need to take a moment to appreciate that sponsor transition. That was beautiful 😂😂
I liked that you used Putty :-) that would explain the Ethernet cable.
No intention on building my own EV I love watching your tutorials interesting stuff
VPN ad should be in Superbowl half-time. The whole damn thing!
Rich that build is awesome. Just a reminder that you might don't need... Don't listen to haters cause you made it!
That was a whole backstory for the sponsor hahaha that was good
I hope surf shark paid you $1000000000+ for that absolute masterpiece. I was more entertained watching that baked in ad than 90% of UA-cam videos
Your intros are epic. I appreciate the shear effort and work to craft these scripts. And I'll get on the facebook subscriber bots to get on the 1 million subs for ya since they've been made redundant after the social dilemma aired.
Hands down the best sponsorship bits on YT.
Damn these intros are becoming more powerful. The more you try to stop Rich the more powerful he becomes.
the first 3 minutes + is why i subscribe to this man.
7:32 I am screaming, the measuring tape is touching both terminals of the battery!
The current hasn't been kind to you.
the most elaborate segway to a sponsor ever!!! Linus has to up his game!!!!
I'm surprised Rich didn't mention the blue scented tree it matched the car. The previous owner must not like black ice. Lol
Your videos are excellent. I always look forward to them. Keep up the good work. And best of luck spreading your seed internationally
😂😂😂😂👀
Talk about the long way around. Best VPN ad ever.
The most well put together ad I’ve ever seen😂😂😂😂
We all know why he’s going to Leendas house ;)
Planting seeds 😂😂😂😭🤦🏻♂️
To pick up his skooter
She lives on the west coast, so......new Geographic area!!
Could possibly be a "free seed giveaway"...😏
ROAD TRIIIIP!!!! good first test for the mini
richie builds makes ads fun man something that is put into our faces by force you make a little fun thank you for that richie !
Youve done a service to mankind having so many people google Leenda. Now im not one for objectification but holy shit rich is she a qualified assistant.
Literally the BEST sponsor ad I've ever seen. That was HILARIOUS.
Rich with Rich Rebuilds here.
Immediately stopped at 3 min mark to comment and like for the big brain promo. Genius!
See now I can’t tell if he’s actually a donor or not...
Popeyes expenses ain't cheap
(to be clear it's in his videos alot, this sounded real bad and I remembered my names on this account)
hes saying he is because you dont make money selling veggie seeds
Theirs over 30 women bearing his children! Sold his unborn children for a truck. Respect !
just getting around to watching this one the day before Christmas 2020. The Intro promo for SurfShark got the like even before watching all the techy stuff.
"I don't want to be a pirate" says the guy who already looks like a pirate...
I do, but that doesn’t make me one just yet, does it?
@@boxeclectic Yet or anymore?
The only thing I keep coming back is the voice over. Dang this is freaking Art. 😁Keeps my day going. Rich rebuilds subbed for the second year noe
Pretty soon star wars films will be shorter then Rich's ad, but the ad will be better.
guess it already is
This ad is amazing. It needs it's own IMDB page.
Throwing the eggplant seeds at the globe had me rolling 😂
😂😂😂
The nod from new white dad was priceless. Nice job uncle rich!
Search bar ‘fart noises’ and ‘where is Leenda Lucia’ 🤣
I love every second of that 4min ad
Anyone else get a shudder when he nearly shorted the battery with the tape measure?
Not nearly as much as when I watched my landlord change a light switch with the breaker on.
Dead Battery, besides he ain't Mehdi from Electroboom, that guys purposely shorts things for awareness.
@@abhirajsutar8260 go try that with a "dead" battery see what happen
@@millportafty I take my joke back. Please don't remind me of shorting batteries, way too many scars.
By the time i knew it was an Ad was in too deep , i couldn’t let go ... damn rich you are good
Can you fit a 3rd pack where the gas tank was (if you could go over the budget a bit)?
you are my favorite youtuber bro keep up the great work, honestly i never saw any channel more entertaining than yours respect man
