@@TWEEMASTER2000Filtered cigarettes are often perceived as being "safer" than unfiltered cigarettes, but this is a misconception. Here's why filtered cigarettes can be just as harmful, or even worse, than unfiltered ones: 1. **Deeper Inhalation**: Filtered cigarettes can encourage smokers to inhale more deeply, drawing the smoke further into the lungs. This deeper inhalation can increase the exposure of the lungs to the harmful chemicals in the smoke. 2. **False Sense of Security**: The presence of a filter might lead smokers to believe that the cigarette is less harmful, potentially leading them to smoke more. 3. **Filter Fibers**: Some research suggests that cigarette filters can break down during use, potentially releasing fibers and other filter components, which can then be inhaled. 4. **Compensation Behavior**: Smokers of light or filtered cigarettes might compensate for the lower smoke yield by smoking more cigarettes or taking more frequent and deeper puffs. This can lead to an increased intake of harmful substances. 5. **Toxic Chemicals**: Filters do not effectively block all the toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke. Many harmful substances, including tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide, are still inhaled. It's important to note that both filtered and unfiltered cigarettes pose significant health risks and are linked to numerous diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. The best choice for health is not to smoke at all.

@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem I've often heard gene editing compared to eugenics but I think as long as anything done happens with informed consent and isn't egregiously immoral then there won't be any major problems, certainly if we had the ability to eliminate genetic and hereditary illnesses and defects as well as inborn mental health issues like autism (saying this as someone with it) then that should happen to everyone (I don't think consent is nessesary here should be treated like a mandatory vaccine) then if parents want to ensure certain hair color skin color etc that's fine, if we can boost physical fitness and intelligence then great, I really don't think there are enough downsides to outweigh all these benefits
Eugenics more likely than not would work fine[from a medical perspective], provided you were breeding exclusively based on only one or two traits rather than breeding for a specific appearance, such as focusing exclusively on measurable intelligence, physical strength, or physical endurance. you just need to start with say the global top 2% in any category and make them have lots of babies Most of the problem with dogs is directly related to how narrow a breed's gene pool is, but a wide starting pool and careful tracking of bloodlines to avoid congenital defects would solve that. *Ethically* on the other hand, it breaks down fairly rapidly once you start labeling the kids successes or failures and then earmark who the successes can breed with
Who the hell is this Julian Vu character? You've trapped yet **another** bright young editor in the basement?! Well they're doing one helluva great job!

I'm an American and I started drinking Earl Grey just because Capt. Jean-Luc Picard did. Since I was a nerd(and still am) Capt. Picard was the coolest person I could think of besides Luke Skywalker but blue milk never seemed to appeal to me for some reason.
@@funtechu I tried Earl Grey and I like it, but Lady Grey is more my speed. It has a more delicate flavor. Still, I always feel like a british person when I drink it. I like to think about the firm roundness of the bottoms of tulips and the decline of dressing gowns.
Earl Grey honks of perfume, and nobody likes it in the UK either. Here we drink tea 🫖 aka English breakfast aka assam and ceylon blend aka tea. If you want fancy tea, drink darjeeling - the champagne of teas. If you want to look English, just drink regular tea - Earl Grey smells like an eccentric aunty's knickers drawer
@@thebagelsproductionsI absolutely agree, I enjoy the blqck strong teas with milk and 1 sugar ,but the Earl Grey was ,if done wrong,way to scented foe me so just Lady Grey instead ,but if I have to choose between some of the latest flavours made and people offering with florals and fruits,I will take Earl any day as the new ones are almost sickly bubblegum sweet
"Volvo - they're boxy but they're good." Don't know if you'll mention this movie in this episode but the film "Crazy People" (1990) is about advertising & honesty with a lot of product placement. The lead, Dudley Moore has a nervous breakdown & is committed. He ends up starting a new advertising agency with other patients & they come up with slogans like "Jaguar - For men who'd like hand jobs from beautiful women they hardly know." and "Volvo - they're boxy but they're good." There's also adverts for a Greek travel agency, one that goes: "Forget Paris. The French can be annoying. Come to Greece. We're nicer." And another one called "Come... IN the Bahamas" for the islands' national tourism board. It's a great movie & Volvo actually liked the honest advert campaign.

I love how Simon talks about how TV and the modern day has gotten good and references breaking bad not realizing breaking bad is almost 15 years old😂😂 not exactly a modern show
I remember the Young Indiana Jones series. I really enjoyed it as a kid. Also, as a Lego lover, I enjoyed seeing Simon nerd out over his Lego Delorean.
Then there's Demolition Man where all the restaurants are Taco Bell in the US, but they made it Pizza Hut in Europe because Taco Bell didn't exist there at the time. One of the US TV versions cut out all references to Taco Bell, which made the movie jump mid-sentence a lot. 😂
Another Fun Fact about Idiocracy, Judge had everybody wearing Crocs cause he thought only an idiot would wear those "ugly ass prison shoes". He was completely right on both accounts lmfao!
yeah i dont see how crocs got so popular when i was a kid they were the shoes we hated putting on but parents made us do it for walking in the rocks and reef at the beach now they are a fashion thing
One of my fave movies is Repo Man - director had some kind of disagreement with product placement, so nothing branded was visible - e.g. cans, packets, bottles in the supermarket had plain white labels, with simple black text saying 'Beans' or 'Beer' or whatever. No brands.
Have any of you read the book that Repo Man was based on? If not, do it. Definitely a worthwhile read. The movie obviously had to leave out a lot of stuff for time and pacing purposes, but the book seriously takes the story to some really dark places.
@@SkunkApe407is it the same book that Repo: the Genetic Opera was based on? Because that movie was a hell of a trip, and IIRC Repo men had the same premise, but as an action movie instead of a horror-comedy-musical.
I still like Sliders, at least the first 2 and a half seasons. Sadly, after John Rhys Davies left, it kinda fell off of a cliff. Then, after Fox cancelled it and SciFi picked it up, it somehow managed to get worse.
19:08 For a short while, "Brawndo" (the Thirst Mutilator - It's got Electrolytes) WAS a real brand. Pete Hottelet, an Oakland-based graphic designer, who started a company, Omni Consumer Products, brought Brawndo to life.
I was honestly shocked by the brand placement in Idiocracy because I thought *no brand* would let them run their name through the mud like that. Every time I saw a new brand being torn apart I was once again filled with shock and awe.
I remember the Indy show as well - I first heard the name of Ingolstadt there from where Indy fled from the nazis hidden in a coffin. It's ironic that I as a german learned about Ingolstadt, a german city in an american Indiana Jones series. I have a connection to the 90's _"Outer Limits"_ as well because as a kid I participated in dubbing the series for german TV coincidentally.
I actually ran across the entire sliders series on DVD on sale at Best Buy one day. It was a BOGO so I grabbed Quantum leap as well... sliders kind of held up for the first few seasons, but then they swapped the main character for his real life brother I think, and they ran out of ideas. Couldnt finish the last season. So bad... quantum leap sort of held up till the last season as well. Both could have benefitted from better CGI, but the stories and acting were pretty good. Now, original Battle Star Galactica was not what I remembered as a kid. That was cheestastic.😂
There is one thing that comes to mind when u talk about kids getting excited about something after seeing it in a movie. The iconic Australian movie 'bmx bandits' lead to the formation of so many bmx gangs all over the country. Thank you Nicole. The best movie you ever made
Your editors RULE SO FUGGIN' HARD! I love this show. I can't have it on in the background, or I miss all the genius memes & sight gags and brill' lil touches like the shimmering DeLorean or the fat rails lined up on the coaster. Cheers, Julian! Grand Slam Episode! Absolute banger!
I almost exclusively listen to these episodes in audio mode while at work so I miss all the visual gags and never have the urge to go back to rewatch the video.
Thanks for a great video. In the UK, you were not allowed to put products into music. They would be afraid that companies would be paying artists to put their product in their song for payment. Kind of like the payola scandal that has been here in the US. . “Kodachrome“ by Paul Simon was banned in the UK. And she refused to change it. mentioning once or twice you can remove it from the song. “Kodachrome” by Paul Simon couldn’t be played. And he refused to re-edit the song. Lola by the Kinks mentioned Coca-Cola. the record company forced them to remove Coca-Cola in the song took out but they had to removed from the song. It also happened in the song “This Note’s for You” by Neil Young. But if you look at the older James Bond movies, they had product placement everywhere. Just the cars, Aston Martin, the Lotus Esprit , BMW, and AMC. And that’s just the cars that are in the movies But that changed. As an example, the UK broke major grounds just a few years ago, when on February 28th 2011 TV programs made for the UK audiences were allowed for the FIRST TIME to include product placement - on certain conditions. These conditions were outlined by the governing body, Ofcom. My apologies. AutoCorrect works like shit and I didn’t proofread it. Sorry.
Use of trademarks in movies/TV is actually an interesting topic. There have been some interesting court cases. TLDR: you don't actually have to get clearance to use a trademark in a movie/tv show as long as the item is being used as intended and does not disparage the brand. The concept of disparaging the brand isn't actually as clear as you might think ie: if a villain was using said brand, courts have deemed that not disparaging to the brand. However, rather then getting caught up in a potentially expensive lawsuit (which you stand a strong chance of winning), it's generally easier and cheaper to get clearance ahead of time and potentially work out a product placement fee for the brands you would like to use.
The movie with ads on tanks is called Southland Tales. Great movie, largely forgotten. The story with the tanks is the U.S. military needed sponsors to fight WW3, so they puts Hustler ads on the tanks Nascar style. Movie is well worth watching, it's a great commentary on government being run by corporations and greedy Ahole control freaks. Lots of good actors in it too.
it's gone so crazy, I saw winter crocs in the store, crocs lined with fabric and fur stuff. if I didn't have a shoe lift in one shoe, I'd totally get a pair lol
@@kyle18934 They've been around for at least a decade. I have a pair, I bought them when my oldest kid was born. Soooo much easier to put on while holding a newborn😅
I was working at a Subway sandwich shop when Lethal Weapon 2 came out. The owner was the manager. He was so excited about the product placement that Subway had paid for in the movie. Then he saw the film… Joe Pesci ranting how they always fuck you in the drive-thru and the wrong order, plus the rant about the tuna sub put him in a state of apoplexy that was hilarious to watch. Me and a coworker would quote that scene (without the F-bomb) to piss him off. He was very short handed and could not afford to let us go.
King of The Hill was one of those shows thats kinda hit and miss, but when it hits it hits like a Mac truck doing 80 mph. "Don day estes la casa de peepee."
My view of the ads in Idiocracy is that those are supposed to be the chains that survived. So they must be good now to survive till then. The missing companies are the ones who could not adapt and died. Plus we are dealing with 700 years of reduced intelligence and linguistic drift.
I was just telling my fiance yesterday that the creator of Idiocracy must be a genius. We didn't look him up because we were headed out the door, how funny it is that he gets brought up in one of your videos the same day.
Brawndo!!! Idiocracy!!! I love that movie. Mike Judge also made Beavis and Butthead. That was what he was most known for. Office Space is also one of my favorite cult classics. Its right up there, in my opinion, Mallrats, Encino Man, Airheads, The Labyrinth, The Rocky Horror Show, The Addams Family (the 90's movies), The Craft, Death Becomes Her, She Devil, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original Movie), Ghostbusters, The Terminator Franchise, Star Wars, Star Trek, Beetlejuice, and Austin Powers (all of them). All of those were amazing cult classics.
Simon, try watching older popular shows like Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century, original Battlestar Galactica, and more cringe-worthy pedestrian titles like Adam 12 / Emergency, and maybe old Columbo [smoking in Hospital waiting room]
So happy Julien put in that Venture Bros. Hitler reference! And remember, Back to the Future is objectively one of the greatest movies ever. Don't try to deny it. Also, wow, I'm shocked Simon has seen a movie that I haven't...or a movie at all.
Was only talking about back to the future today with a friend and saying how great the movie was, what made me think of the movie I heard somewhere that they are making back to the future 4 i hope their is a Cameo from Michael J Fox and Doc ☺️
I replied to your comment before I watched the video I didn't realise that Toyota had an on the radio 📻 at the beginning of the opening scene anyway I was just saying that to my friend when I was talking about how good the movie was did he remember the red Toyota pickup at the end of the movie that Marty's Dad bought him, I was only young at the time, but I thought it was the coolest motor ever! Pickup was epic 💯
Fun Fact the production studio that did the California Raisins? Will Vinton Studios... In 2002 they were bought out by the guy who owns Nike, and he brought on Henry Selick (the guy who made Nightmare Before Christmas) to join them and in 2005 they were re-branded as Laika. Same studio that Made Coraline and Paranorman and Kubo made the California Raisins and the Dominos Noid. They also created the M&M characters. I dunno I just think it's cool that those companies are the same company lol. We have a long, proud tradition of animators in America.
I think you clicked on the wrong notification by mistake, because this wasn't the CC episode that released at the same time (as I assume you figured out)
@@ThatWriterKevin On point as usual, I had it on my TV and went to comment on my phone... I slipped to the wrong thumbnail. Now to watch this one and see if it's still a valid observation. Odds I have to edit it? Lol
My favorite part of idiocracy is just the first 5 minutes and the case study. 😂 though I’ve actually had friends who can’t watch the movie because it gives them flashbacks of living in shit towns around the US. 😅 apparently they made a documentary. 😢
Simon I'm so stoked to see you have a Lego Delorean!!! My kids attended the high school Bob Gale went to that inspired the story. It's a massive school and fun to know that great people are alumni.
I never particularly wanted to play an instrument either... I wanted to get out of class, so I joined the school band. Fast forward 37 years, 1 music degree later, I am still playing, but my initial inspiration had nothing to do with wanting to play music, just not wanting to be in school, but not wanting to break any rules. It worked for me. It worked very well. I'm Australian - We say Nike too, not Nike-ee... although Nike-ee is creeping in.
My uncle had one of those self playing digital piano/organs, and his favorite trick would be to sit at that piano on one of the more beautiful and complicated classical pieces, and play along to it, and wait for someone to tell him how wonderful his playing was. At which point he would raise his hands above his head and continue moving his fingers as if still playing, and everyone would laugh.
After the freakshow of the RNC this week they would have fitted right in...If Hulk Hogan could be a presenter/speaker and everyone cheered the idiots in the movie would have been in their right setting.
I’ve been enjoying seeing how soon I can guess if it is a Sam edited or Lorelei edited video. I was having a hard time deciding and now I see why. Well done Julian Vu! I shall enjoy adding you to mystery.
I thoroughly enjoy the meme card that says: Learing stuff with fact boi when he goes on light tangents. The "I'm not sure" and then adding the meme was nicely timed.
My brothers and I knew about the California Raisons. We had a 5 1/4" floppy disk of one of the first platformers of DOS+ on an Amstrad computer in the 90's, the "California Raisons."
I'm American and don't care how you pronounce Nike. Or any other word. Except "lengthly." I care very much and I hope you never change it! It's wrong for anyone else to say it that way but it's pure gold when you do!
Why does every one of the Brain Blaze episodes just feel like a giant 30-60 minute reason to give Fact Boy either an aneurysm or a reason to therapeutically rant while being paid to do it. And I am so here for it. Simon Tangents for the win... gotta love that level of unhinged.
Simon the movie you're thinking about with the advertising on the tanks is called War Inc and it's about how basically companies just start fighting wars against each other or against other countries I don't know I haven't watched it a long time but that's the basic premise of it
Was Gatorade changed to brawndo in a later release of the film, because I'm certain the version I've watched was "Gatorade, it's got electrolytes, it's what plants love"
I've always wondered how much Wendy's paid for their product placements in the abysmal "Highlander 2" (there can be only one! plus five sequels, two tv series, a dozen or so novels, a comic series, and a cartoon...). There's one overly-long scene where a pair of morticians are talking as they examine the bullet-riddled remains of MacLeod and Ramirez -- but for the entire scene the camera doesn't move from this tight zoom on a Wendy's bag & cup hehe! And then there's the 1975 "Death Race 2000," which I was watching on late-night sometime in the 90's. One of the commercial breaks featured David Carradine (who also starred in the film, along with a young Sylvester Stallone!) promoting his meditation videos. His commercial ended with a very relaxed and sedate Carradine extending his hand towards the camera and saying "Come, let me show you the secrets to inner peace and harmony" -- which immediately cuts to a clip of some of the movie's more over-the-top vehicular homicides as a gravel-voiced announcer loudly barked out "And now back to Death Race 2000!!!" 🤣
A full 12 minutes before the video even hinted at what the title says. On some channels that's because it's annoying clickbait. In this case, it's because there is more tangent than video by a factor of at least 20:1, which is basically why this channel is great 😄

With modern media and tech intelligence, it is less needed for all but a few professions, and combined with modern health care meaning and religious beliefs, this leads to disadvantageous traits to survive and propagate more often.
It is still needed, but it is becoming less and less so as tech advances. And well the computers in Idiocracy seem to be past the level that development would be needed, as long as maintenaned properly.

As far as eugenics working goes: we technically COULD breed humans like we have done with dogs..., but look at what we have done with dogs.
Eugenics probably won't even have a point relatively soon, thanks to gene editing.
@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem I've often heard gene editing compared to eugenics but I think as long as anything done happens with informed consent and isn't egregiously immoral then there won't be any major problems, certainly if we had the ability to eliminate genetic and hereditary illnesses and defects as well as inborn mental health issues like autism (saying this as someone with it) then that should happen to everyone (I don't think consent is nessesary here should be treated like a mandatory vaccine) then if parents want to ensure certain hair color skin color etc that's fine, if we can boost physical fitness and intelligence then great, I really don't think there are enough downsides to outweigh all these benefits
@@omgandwtf1 I generally agree. I was just saying that there is no need or reason for selective breeding with gene editing.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem fair, I was mostly taking the opportunity your post gave me to vent about a pet peeve of mine lol
Eugenics more likely than not would work fine[from a medical perspective], provided you were breeding exclusively based on only one or two traits rather than breeding for a specific appearance, such as focusing exclusively on measurable intelligence, physical strength, or physical endurance. you just need to start with say the global top 2% in any category and make them have lots of babies
Most of the problem with dogs is directly related to how narrow a breed's gene pool is, but a wide starting pool and careful tracking of bloodlines to avoid congenital defects would solve that.
*Ethically* on the other hand, it breaks down fairly rapidly once you start labeling the kids successes or failures and then earmark who the successes can breed with
13:20Dude that slow zoom into the car for NO APPARENT REASON intrigued me
So much that
I died when he just starts playing with it again.
Me too! New editor??
That was great editing. And when the editor made it sparkle (flash, whatever that's called) was awesome!
My
Time stamp was fucked. Lol.
@@gretl01 yes. We still have Sam but this is the new “Not Sam” person. I think they were the ice Pokémon trainer in the elite 4 back in the day
Seeing Simon have the time of his life laughing about *Idiocracy* is one of life’s new greatest joys.
Meanwhile ,the americans are living it 😂
Who the hell is this Julian Vu character? You've trapped yet **another** bright young editor in the basement?! Well they're doing one helluva great job! "Hard flex, Kev." came outta nowhere and I loved it. The slow zoom in on the Lego DeLorean was perfect. And Brennan Lee Mulligan's "The CEO of Such-and-such Company" sketches are awesome.
Well done, Julian. This one had me cracking up good.
Welcome to the Blazement, Julian! Top notch work on the edits!
The Bobby Hill DBZ was perfect.
Simon is killing me with the "subtle" lego product placement. 🤣
😂
No lie, I really do want a Lego DeLorean now lol
I'm an American and I started drinking Earl Grey just because Capt. Jean-Luc Picard did. Since I was a nerd(and still am) Capt. Picard was the coolest person I could think of besides Luke Skywalker but blue milk never seemed to appeal to me for some reason.
Earl Grey slaps! I don't care who you are
@@funtechu I tried Earl Grey and I like it, but Lady Grey is more my speed. It has a more delicate flavor. Still, I always feel like a british person when I drink it. I like to think about the firm roundness of the bottoms of tulips and the decline of dressing gowns.
Earl Grey honks of perfume, and nobody likes it in the UK either. Here we drink tea 🫖 aka English breakfast aka assam and ceylon blend aka tea. If you want fancy tea, drink darjeeling - the champagne of teas. If you want to look English, just drink regular tea - Earl Grey smells like an eccentric aunty's knickers drawer
@@thebagelsproductionsI absolutely agree, I enjoy the blqck strong teas with milk and 1 sugar ,but the Earl Grey was ,if done wrong,way to scented foe me so just Lady Grey instead ,but if I have to choose between some of the latest flavours made and people offering with florals and fruits,I will take Earl any day as the new ones are almost sickly bubblegum sweet
@@thebagelsproductionsdude why would you sniff your aunts knickers da fk 😂😂😂
"Volvo - they're boxy but they're good."
Don't know if you'll mention this movie in this episode but the film "Crazy People" (1990) is about advertising & honesty with a lot of product placement. The lead, Dudley Moore has a nervous breakdown & is committed. He ends up starting a new advertising agency with other patients & they come up with slogans like "Jaguar - For men who'd like hand jobs from beautiful women they hardly know." and "Volvo - they're boxy but they're good." There's also adverts for a Greek travel agency, one that goes: "Forget Paris. The French can be annoying. Come to Greece. We're nicer." And another one called "Come... IN the Bahamas" for the islands' national tourism board. It's a great movie & Volvo actually liked the honest advert campaign.

PPS: Fact boy breakdown at 17:50
I love how Simon talks about how TV and the modern day has gotten good and references breaking bad not realizing breaking bad is almost 15 years old😂😂 not exactly a modern show
Considering TV's became commonplace in the 60's, that's still pretty modern
The clangers
Way to remind me I’m aging😂
13:31 okay people are already commenting on the zoom in but just the fact that Simon interrupts himself mid WORD is just gold.
I'm not at all surprised that Simon owns an entire player piano
It does seem to suit him, doesn’t it?
Well obviously that's where the ad money goes instead of the writers in the basement 😂
Nope he just drags Danny out from the basement every now and then.
Rather than just half of one?
Not to mention the LARGEST collection of lead-based dildos
Watching Simon nerd out over his Lego DeLorean is awesome.
I have to admit, I genuinely loved the authentic giddiness of when Simon showed off his Lego 'Back to the Future' Delorian.
I remember the Young Indiana Jones series. I really enjoyed it as a kid. Also, as a Lego lover, I enjoyed seeing Simon nerd out over his Lego Delorean.
Then there's Demolition Man where all the restaurants are Taco Bell in the US, but they made it Pizza Hut in Europe because Taco Bell didn't exist there at the time. One of the US TV versions cut out all references to Taco Bell, which made the movie jump mid-sentence a lot. 😂
Another Fun Fact about Idiocracy, Judge had everybody wearing Crocs cause he thought only an idiot would wear those "ugly ass prison shoes".
He was completely right on both accounts lmfao!
But they are comfy….
@@philippal8666 so are pajamas but it doesn't mean people should be seen in public wearing them. 😂
@@StefanMediciHave you seen people? Wearing pajamas is pretty common nowadays
@@QBCPerdition I know, hence I used them as the example. It doesn't make it right. Some people have just given up on having any self-respect.
yeah i dont see how crocs got so popular when i was a kid they were the shoes we hated putting on but parents made us do it for walking in the rocks and reef at the beach now they are a fashion thing
I also watch the extras and behind the scenes bit on DVD's. The Editor isn't alone in this.
One of my fave movies is Repo Man - director had some kind of disagreement with product placement, so nothing branded was visible - e.g. cans, packets, bottles in the supermarket had plain white labels, with simple black text saying 'Beans' or 'Beer' or whatever. No brands.
There was a brand called Generic that made...generic stuff. What they didn't make was Generic "Food" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was coming over to mention that too --- but! Three main characters are named Bud, Lite, and Miller!
Also the 7-up jingle.
Have any of you read the book that Repo Man was based on? If not, do it. Definitely a worthwhile read. The movie obviously had to leave out a lot of stuff for time and pacing purposes, but the book seriously takes the story to some really dark places.
@@jayhom5385 - Nobody wants generic food. 😅
@@SkunkApe407is it the same book that Repo: the Genetic Opera was based on? Because that movie was a hell of a trip, and IIRC Repo men had the same premise, but as an action movie instead of a horror-comedy-musical.
I still like Sliders, at least the first 2 and a half seasons. Sadly, after John Rhys Davies left, it kinda fell off of a cliff. Then, after Fox cancelled it and SciFi picked it up, it somehow managed to get worse.
I loved The A Team as a kid. Under no circumstances do I want to rewatch it.
19:08 For a short while, "Brawndo" (the Thirst Mutilator - It's got Electrolytes) WAS a real brand. Pete Hottelet, an Oakland-based graphic designer, who started a company, Omni Consumer Products, brought Brawndo to life.
I was honestly shocked by the brand placement in Idiocracy because I thought *no brand* would let them run their name through the mud like that. Every time I saw a new brand being torn apart I was once again filled with shock and awe.
I remember the Indy show as well - I first heard the name of Ingolstadt there from where Indy fled from the nazis hidden in a coffin. It's ironic that I as a german learned about Ingolstadt, a german city in an american Indiana Jones series.
I have a connection to the 90's _"Outer Limits"_ as well because as a kid I participated in dubbing the series for german TV coincidentally.
Ingolstadt. That's where Audi is headquartered.
The Saxophone Squritle made my day lol.
Still waiting for Simon to get a weather channel. And food review channel. Other than that, dude's got every topic covered.
Oh geez, Simon eating random foreign foods and going off about it would be gold.
I love Simon's child like joy and excitement in every episode
I loved outer limits and sliders as a kid. I was a dork and so was Simon!
It's a generational thing, we all loved Sliders and Outer limits.
Along with Knight Rider and Baywatch
@@rossharper1983I remember loving Quantum Leap as well.
I actually ran across the entire sliders series on DVD on sale at Best Buy one day. It was a BOGO so I grabbed Quantum leap as well... sliders kind of held up for the first few seasons, but then they swapped the main character for his real life brother I think, and they ran out of ideas. Couldnt finish the last season. So bad... quantum leap sort of held up till the last season as well. Both could have benefitted from better CGI, but the stories and acting were pretty good. Now, original Battle Star Galactica was not what I remembered as a kid. That was cheestastic.😂
@@ripn929707 star Trek? My fav is Voyager. Talk about cheesetastic!!
@@rossharper1983 I never got down with knight rider or Baywatch. But Zena warrior princess and Buffy the vampire slayer, that was my jam
Simon's delorean and piano are objectively cool.
I need to rewatch Back to the Future, I clearly missed a lot.
I loved Young Indiana Jones as a kid!
Also Farscape was AMAZING!
I recently re-watched Farscape and it's still amazing!
Was that a Spiffing Brit cameo at 10:46? Absolute legend.
I have the Lego Delorean & it’s awesome also Idiocracy is a great movie
The tanks with ads might be War, Inc. It's one of my favorites just for how bizarre it is.
Loved Young Indy! And the Sliders CroMags were great villains…. Okay, I just watched for Kari Wuhrer!
There is one thing that comes to mind when u talk about kids getting excited about something after seeing it in a movie. The iconic Australian movie 'bmx bandits' lead to the formation of so many bmx gangs all over the country. Thank you Nicole. The best movie you ever made
Life tip: never lose the childhood joy of showing off your Legos.
And don't write down your crimes.
The movie with tanks that had ads on the sides is "War INC"
Great movie
Your editors RULE SO FUGGIN' HARD! I love this show. I can't have it on in the background, or I miss all the genius memes & sight gags and brill' lil touches like the shimmering DeLorean or the fat rails lined up on the coaster. Cheers, Julian! Grand Slam Episode! Absolute banger!
I almost exclusively listen to these episodes in audio mode while at work so I miss all the visual gags and never have the urge to go back to rewatch the video.
Thanks for a great video.
In the UK, you were not allowed to put products into music. They would be afraid that companies would be paying artists to put their product in their song for payment. Kind of like the payola scandal that has been here in the US. . “Kodachrome“ by Paul Simon was banned in the UK. And she refused to change it. mentioning once or twice you can remove it from the song. “Kodachrome” by Paul Simon couldn’t be played. And he refused to re-edit the song. Lola by the Kinks mentioned Coca-Cola. the record company forced them to remove Coca-Cola in the song took out but they had to removed from the song. It also happened in the song “This Note’s for You” by Neil Young.
But if you look at the older James Bond movies, they had product placement everywhere. Just the cars, Aston Martin, the Lotus Esprit , BMW, and AMC. And that’s just the cars that are in the movies
But that changed. As an example, the UK broke major grounds just a few years ago, when on February 28th 2011 TV programs made for the UK audiences were allowed for the FIRST TIME to include product placement - on certain conditions. These conditions were outlined by the governing body, Ofcom.
My apologies. AutoCorrect works like shit and I didn’t proofread it. Sorry.
So a few years ago, the mother of my grandkid was 7.
When you put it that way, it sounds ridiculous.
I see the editing styles is different because it's a new editor. And I love the chaotic energy
Use of trademarks in movies/TV is actually an interesting topic. There have been some interesting court cases. TLDR: you don't actually have to get clearance to use a trademark in a movie/tv show as long as the item is being used as intended and does not disparage the brand. The concept of disparaging the brand isn't actually as clear as you might think ie: if a villain was using said brand, courts have deemed that not disparaging to the brand.
However, rather then getting caught up in a potentially expensive lawsuit (which you stand a strong chance of winning), it's generally easier and cheaper to get clearance ahead of time and potentially work out a product placement fee for the brands you would like to use.
8:36 Nice effects on the DeLorean Julian!
The movie with ads on tanks is called Southland Tales. Great movie, largely forgotten. The story with the tanks is the U.S. military needed sponsors to fight WW3, so they puts Hustler ads on the tanks Nascar style. Movie is well worth watching, it's a great commentary on government being run by corporations and greedy Ahole control freaks. Lots of good actors in it too.
Fun fact about Idiocracy. Crocs were an unknown brand but looked ridiculous enough to be the shoe everyone in the future wore.
it's gone so crazy, I saw winter crocs in the store, crocs lined with fabric and fur stuff.
if I didn't have a shoe lift in one shoe, I'd totally get a pair lol
@@kyle18934 They've been around for at least a decade. I have a pair, I bought them when my oldest kid was born. Soooo much easier to put on while holding a newborn😅
Yeah, no thanks. Crocs are disgusting. 🤮
I love the chair asides whenever Simon gets up. Also Simon's delight with his model DeLorean.
I just remember that thing from Benny & Joon about raisins just being humiliated grapes. 😂
I was working at a Subway sandwich shop when Lethal Weapon 2 came out. The owner was the manager. He was so excited about the product placement that Subway had paid for in the movie. Then he saw the film… Joe Pesci ranting how they always fuck you in the drive-thru and the wrong order, plus the rant about the tuna sub put him in a state of apoplexy that was hilarious to watch. Me and a coworker would quote that scene (without the F-bomb) to piss him off. He was very short handed and could not afford to let us go.
King of The Hill was one of those shows thats kinda hit and miss, but when it hits it hits like a Mac truck doing 80 mph.
"Don day estes la casa de peepee."
I feel like it was much more hits than misses. I absolutely love King of the hill
In S1E1 Hank Hill believes in climate change.
The movie simon was referring to tanks that have ads on the side is Southland Tales. I think
My view of the ads in Idiocracy is that those are supposed to be the chains that survived. So they must be good now to survive till then.
The missing companies are the ones who could not adapt and died.
Plus we are dealing with 700 years of reduced intelligence and linguistic drift.
Costco just kept getting bigger and bigger. 😂😂😂
@@ripn929707 at least they love us.
I was just telling my fiance yesterday that the creator of Idiocracy must be a genius. We didn't look him up because we were headed out the door, how funny it is that he gets brought up in one of your videos the same day.
Congratulations Simon on being 4 years clean form heroin. You got this brother! I believe in you!
😂
😂😂
Lots of poppy fields in the Czech Republic, maybe that’s why he moved there…
😂
Brawndo!!! Idiocracy!!! I love that movie. Mike Judge also made Beavis and Butthead. That was what he was most known for. Office Space is also one of my favorite cult classics. Its right up there, in my opinion, Mallrats, Encino Man, Airheads, The Labyrinth, The Rocky Horror Show, The Addams Family (the 90's movies), The Craft, Death Becomes Her, She Devil, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original Movie), Ghostbusters, The Terminator Franchise, Star Wars, Star Trek, Beetlejuice, and Austin Powers (all of them). All of those were amazing cult classics.
Don’t forget, Mike Judge also bestowed us with the high brow comedy of Beavis & Butt-Head 😂
And Daria
Simon, try watching older popular shows like Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century, original Battlestar Galactica, and more cringe-worthy pedestrian titles like Adam 12 / Emergency, and maybe old Columbo [smoking in Hospital waiting room]
So happy Julien put in that Venture Bros. Hitler reference! And remember, Back to the Future is objectively one of the greatest movies ever. Don't try to deny it.
Also, wow, I'm shocked Simon has seen a movie that I haven't...or a movie at all.
Was only talking about back to the future today with a friend and saying how great the movie was, what made me think of the movie I heard somewhere that they are making back to the future 4 i hope their is a Cameo from Michael J Fox and Doc ☺️
I replied to your comment before I watched the video I didn't realise that Toyota had an on the radio 📻 at the beginning of the opening scene anyway I was just saying that to my friend when I was talking about how good the movie was did he remember the red Toyota pickup at the end of the movie that Marty's Dad bought him, I was only young at the time, but I thought it was the coolest motor ever! Pickup was epic 💯
And Brondo has electrolytes.
literally only remember Calvin Kleins
@@David27mk I pray this doesn't happen
Julian! The editing with the lego model was so good I went back and watched it again.
British people ain't never seen the California Raisins Christmas special? Oh my God.
Fun Fact the production studio that did the California Raisins? Will Vinton Studios... In 2002 they were bought out by the guy who owns Nike, and he brought on Henry Selick (the guy who made Nightmare Before Christmas) to join them and in 2005 they were re-branded as Laika. Same studio that Made Coraline and Paranorman and Kubo made the California Raisins and the Dominos Noid. They also created the M&M characters.
I dunno I just think it's cool that those companies are the same company lol. We have a long, proud tradition of animators in America.
Almost 2min in and Simon MAY have read 3 sentences 😂 I'm getting snacks, this will be amusing 🔥
Huh? This is Brain Blaze.
I think you clicked on the wrong notification by mistake, because this wasn't the CC episode that released at the same time (as I assume you figured out)
@@ThatWriterKevin On point as usual, I had it on my TV and went to comment on my phone... I slipped to the wrong thumbnail. Now to watch this one and see if it's still a valid observation. Odds I have to edit it? Lol
Another key contribution to the video by Simon's chair.
My favorite part of idiocracy is just the first 5 minutes and the case study. 😂 though I’ve actually had friends who can’t watch the movie because it gives them flashbacks of living in shit towns around the US. 😅 apparently they made a documentary. 😢
3 seconds in and that huge JVC in the background of that fight scene in a highlander sequel immediately comes to mind.
fastest tangent ever. well done, kevin
Thanks!
Simon I'm so stoked to see you have a Lego Delorean!!! My kids attended the high school Bob Gale went to that inspired the story. It's a massive school and fun to know that great people are alumni.
26:00 we wish Simon but lately Hollywood has had a ton of terrible writers fail upwards, especially at Disney.
I never particularly wanted to play an instrument either... I wanted to get out of class, so I joined the school band. Fast forward 37 years, 1 music degree later, I am still playing, but my initial inspiration had nothing to do with wanting to play music, just not wanting to be in school, but not wanting to break any rules. It worked for me. It worked very well.
I'm Australian - We say Nike too, not Nike-ee... although Nike-ee is creeping in.
Just realized that Disney now owns the rights to Idiocrisy

My uncle had one of those self playing digital piano/organs, and his favorite trick would be to sit at that piano on one of the more beautiful and complicated classical pieces, and play along to it, and wait for someone to tell him how wonderful his playing was. At which point he would raise his hands above his head and continue moving his fingers as if still playing, and everyone would laugh.

Idiocracy is the best documentary ive seen in years.
After the freakshow of the RNC this week they would have fitted right in...If Hulk Hogan could be a presenter/speaker and everyone cheered the idiots in the movie would have been in their right setting.
I’ve been enjoying seeing how soon I can guess if it is a Sam edited or Lorelei edited video. I was having a hard time deciding and now I see why. Well done Julian Vu! I shall enjoy adding you to mystery.
I did the same thing!
I know when it's a Lorelei video. There's metal clips added into it. 😂
@@mangalover0149 oh yeah, that is a give away lol. I’ve been changing the game to see how fast I can guess right, because of that.
I thoroughly enjoy the meme card that says: Learing stuff with fact boi when he goes on light tangents. The "I'm not sure" and then adding the meme was nicely timed.
My favorite advertisement in Idiocracy is the Tarrlyon's ad. The dude on the billboard is epic!
My brothers and I knew about the California Raisons. We had a 5 1/4" floppy disk of one of the first platformers of DOS+ on an Amstrad computer in the 90's, the "California Raisons."
I'm American and don't care how you pronounce Nike. Or any other word. Except "lengthly." I care very much and I hope you never change it! It's wrong for anyone else to say it that way but it's pure gold when you do!
Why does every one of the Brain Blaze episodes just feel like a giant 30-60 minute reason to give Fact Boy either an aneurysm or a reason to therapeutically rant while being paid to do it. And I am so here for it. Simon Tangents for the win... gotta love that level of unhinged.
The first 3 minutes of the video. Fascinating tangent Simon, let's carry on. 😂
I love the person/people doing your visuals/edits - they are the best i have seen on UA-cam
Tah-kho bell.
Simon the movie you're thinking about with the advertising on the tanks is called War Inc and it's about how basically companies just start fighting wars against each other or against other countries I don't know I haven't watched it a long time but that's the basic premise of it
I wanna go through the OGBB archives and count how many “Kevin, what are we talking about?”
Ahhhhhctually Simon, the 'correct' pronunciation would be 'Knee-Key' as in the Greek God of victory.
Simon, pay your editors more. This was one of the best ones yet, just with the editing! (You did an okay job yourself 😁)
What are they going to do with all that extra money in the basement? 😜😂
Was Gatorade changed to brawndo in a later release of the film, because I'm certain the version I've watched was "Gatorade, it's got electrolytes, it's what plants love"
I've always wondered how much Wendy's paid for their product placements in the abysmal "Highlander 2" (there can be only one! plus five sequels, two tv series, a dozen or so novels, a comic series, and a cartoon...). There's one overly-long scene where a pair of morticians are talking as they examine the bullet-riddled remains of MacLeod and Ramirez -- but for the entire scene the camera doesn't move from this tight zoom on a Wendy's bag & cup hehe!
And then there's the 1975 "Death Race 2000," which I was watching on late-night sometime in the 90's. One of the commercial breaks featured David Carradine (who also starred in the film, along with a young Sylvester Stallone!) promoting his meditation videos. His commercial ended with a very relaxed and sedate Carradine extending his hand towards the camera and saying "Come, let me show you the secrets to inner peace and harmony" -- which immediately cuts to a clip of some of the movie's more over-the-top vehicular homicides as a gravel-voiced announcer loudly barked out "And now back to Death Race 2000!!!" 🤣
8:08 I KNEW it'd be a lego DeLorean, I had seen it on every other Instagram ad for the last few months.
Seeing how much you like Idiocracy makes me respect you even more. Office space too
A full 12 minutes before the video even hinted at what the title says. On some channels that's because it's annoying clickbait. In this case, it's because there is more tangent than video by a factor of at least 20:1, which is basically why this channel is great 😄
Meme timing got me rolling on this one. Well done, Editor Sam! 👏
