As someone who can't stand for long periods of time because of a back injury, this looks completely useless as a solution. It's very low, has zero support for the back, and is very unsteady. It looks like it would hurt more than standing. The same would go for most people who really need some sort of chair, like the elderly. I imagine there would be a fairly small group of people for whom this would actually be helpful.
***** Goes great with dump pasta, dump pizza, or any other food you find in a dumpster (still can't believe someone did a cook book for dumpster food).
I hate it when they pad out the infomercial with stupid examples instead of just giving us information on the product and leaving the possibilities to the customer. That is usually a sure sign that the infomercial is full of it.
My family has a boat and we always bring the chairs that woman had to the beach and the only thing that makes it difficult to unfold is when sand gets in it or it gets rusty. Also why is that one guy carrying all those chairs with no help whatsoever?
I tried to buy one of these from Maplin for £5, but they were recalled the same day. I think the final comment might be closer to the truth than you'd like, haha.
I've watched about 5 or 6 of these now in just random order. I'm loving it a lot, none stop laughs and kinda shocking to see some things actually work like the slushy making cup. I was sent here from Wreckless Eating.
Been watching your content for the past week and finally decided to sub as you do entertain me so no w gotta go back trough at least 50 of your vids and like lol.
I had a chair kind of like this as a kid. I hated it. Just get a bigger chair. there are ones that fold up easily and come with carry bags. You just sling it over your shoulder and go. You can ever carry more then one
Definitely not a new product. My uncle got one from a military surplus store some decades ago, and it's a fair bit sturdier than this one (it had chains instead of cloth straps for the sides). Still works fairly well, although the canvas probably needs replacing sometime soon…
I had one of those when I was a kid (not this one exactly but they have been done before) It caused spine problems for me since I had no back support and ended up slouching for years :/ thanks stupid chair, I'll carry a fold up chair any day.
+tgsachris Your parents had you sit in a lawn chair for years and you don't think that was a problem unto itself? You could say the same thing about sitting on a stool. Or, you know. Learn to sit up straight.
Tazzie1312 a stool is solid, this thing wobbles like bitch. Regardless I being 6 to 12 was not in a position to tell my parents to buy me another chair with what money we had. I used what I could get. Now piss off
I can confirm that standing makes your calves tired. After working a 16 hour shift the other day, most of which was spent standing, I have calf strain grade 2 in my right leg.
"tailgating" So people are in a car park and decide to get out of their cars and sit on chairs, while other drivers are trying to get past them? :-/ 2:54 He brought a wonky stool, I mean "pocket chair", to use to sit on, when he can more easily, and more safely, sit on the stable rocks underneath him.
it happens before american football games, basically fans of the team will go to the stadium a few hours early make lunch/dinner drink a few beers/soda and have a good time. then go and see the game.
You know when something claims to be "Lightweight yet heavy duty" and also doesn't cost a lot, they're lying. There is no such thing as "Lightweight" as well as being "Heavy duty". Those are two contradicting words. You can have it light and flimsy or heavy and durable. Not both at the same time.
Nothing new if you go to a high end camping store...again it's a product that is only so so at what it does. A LOT less then the other compact chairs that work a lot better and are as small and made of material that wont break. Sitting on the ground works for me, and if I am at any normal camp site bringing a long a real camp chair is not hard to do and you can relax. Hell I have one that has rocking legs...LOL
Why was he caring like 6 or 7 chairs, that's why the guy was having trouble, what a idiot. Also can I buy it in Walmart and then use the box, if I can it might get the same effect.
Have we gone to the point that sitting on the ground isn't an option anymore? I sat on the ground and didn't get influenza or tuberculosis, only a slightly green ass.
If you dont medically need it (aka disability or something like that, and obesity is not a disability) just stand up. it does wonders for your blood flow and we already spend way too much time sitting on our asses anyway.
This chair isn't supposed to replace actual chairs. You're not actually supposed to sit for a long time or expect it to hold all your weight if you fall on it. It's mostly there to remove some of the stress on your knees in cases where you would be squatting. This "chair" provides some added movement at the cost of support. Obviously if you're going to be sitting a while you'll want an actual chair. So it works but it's not a chair, more like a smaller more portable stool.
Too big to fit in your pocket and too small to comfortably sit on. Effective!
+ChapelTheMechanist lol awesome 👍
Lol
But it has a dual-action counter-rotational support system...
But how does it work? Well, the not-chair glows blue to let you know you can squat in it.
Look at the way the infomercial guy leans forward as he's sitting on it.
Sitting that low is painful for the knees and I hate chairs without backs. I'd rather sit on the ground.

"I made a thing called the pocket chair that's not really a chair and doesn't fit in your pocket" -a Jacksfilms video
I made a thing called a pocket bike. It's a cheese grater for your feet.
Diego Salvati that sounds about right
***** Goes great with dump pasta, dump pizza, or any other food you find in a dumpster (still can't believe someone did a cook book for dumpster food).
Just sit on the bloody chair behind you. LoL
"The pocket chair is a great way to tell the kids they're adopted.".
It's a great present for people you don't want to be friends with anymore.
Yep they'd be great for queues. You could pick it up and shift it 0.5 metres every time the line moves forward..
Impaling up... m-m-my butt (man from the Aspray ad).
Such a wasted oportunity.

I just have visions of him falling off a collapsing pocket chair, and careening into the entertainment center XD
They had these chairs back in WW2 for militaries.
I'd like to see the copyright excuse for this.
Oh man! It'd Ted Hadrup!
AMBITIIIIIIION
This isn't protected by copyright. Something like this would be protected by a patent, and those only last a few decades.
won't lie i expected you to break the chair
I never realised when I kept relaxing on safe, solid and usually comfortable earth that I was being so wrong!
The thumbnail makes it look like you're crapping into an oil lantern.
if you need that many chairs, it must mean you are going to have lots of people. make them get off their lazy asses and help you carry them.
Unless you're the kind of person who has way too much pride to even think of asking for help. I know a few people who are like that (-_-* )
vjpearce
then they deserve to struggle. hell, you could even make two or three trips.
Thomas Jenkins
Next time I'll film them struggle then post it to UA-cam. He he he >:)
vjpearce
lol, go for it.
Thomas Jenkins
Oh, don't worry, I will and have a great old laugh at their expense.
Mike, you fool! If you were a head without a body, you'd have no pockets!
my grandma had this chair in 1960's Poland so...
Reminds me of the time I got tired of standing around and started dragging around a wheelbarrow to sit in when others stopped to talk.
Been watching your content for the past week and finally decided to sub as you do entertain me so no w gotta go back trough at least 50 of your vids and like lol.
OMG That's just a smaller one of those portable camping chairs you can get at any place you buy camping supplies. XD the design is identical. XD
I take that back. It's not smaller. It's the same damn chair that has been around for a long time. XD
We had things just like this for camping, 40 years ago. They were decent, but that's when everything wasn't made to be disposable.
Chinese have been using these for years.
Especially on trains.
I'd rather sit on the ground because that chair would be an exercise for me. I'm extremely lazy, but using that thing would be like doing squats
the bit where they show the price + phone number the chairs are either considerably larger than actual size or the table is very low to the floor.
I had a chair kind of like this as a kid. I hated it. Just get a bigger chair. there are ones that fold up easily and come with carry bags. You just sling it over your shoulder and go. You can ever carry more then one

What the hell is, “the big game”? Is it anything like the much-vaunted, “little game”? 🤨
I had one of those when I was a kid (not this one exactly but they have been done before) It caused spine problems for me since I had no back support and ended up slouching for years :/ thanks stupid chair, I'll carry a fold up chair any day.
Seriously do not buy this shit for your kids
+tgsachris Your parents had you sit in a lawn chair for years and you don't think that was a problem unto itself? You could say the same thing about sitting on a stool.

Wow you're movies is brilliant:) keep up the good work
It's a human mousetrap... for human balls
I can confirm that standing makes your calves tired. After working a 16 hour shift the other day, most of which was spent standing, I have calf strain grade 2 in my right leg.
I'm not going to lie I have one of these it's for my cat though.... they love it
That thumbnail looks like Mike trying to pull of a 1 guy 1 jar...
wait...Adam Jay? Isn't that the same guy who was advertising the Ass spray?
By jove, I think you're right.
we had chairs like that when I was little. they are fun to break. They made better slingshots than chairs.
The last line made me laugh so hard that I snorted :)
"tailgating" So people are in a car park and decide to get out of their cars and sit on chairs, while other drivers are trying to get past them? :-/

Hol up, 3:06 has a bigger pocket chair...
So it'snow just a regular folding stool. Genius!
It reminds me of the chairs Japanese Daimyos would sit on in the field during the Sengokku Jidai period.
Pug brother? Is that you?
Grey Lacy Pug? Oh my gosh! What are you doing here, pug brother!
Or the little headrests that took the place of pillows back then.
We've used it camping, but more for an ottoman or a small table. Lol.
Took this to Afghanistan it helped a lot and I actually got a lot of people to buy them but you also have to sit in it like a saddle
This wouldn't work for me. It's too low. My knees wouldn't be able to handle that. I'm nearly 5'10.
Also known as the surprise nutcracker
It looks like a cool sports car.

I haven't seen one of these in 50 years when I was 8 years old as far as I remember in was just the right hight for me then
It is a rather nice folding system. If they made one big enough for an adult to sit on, it would be a good product.
and by what i see here it was way more sturdy.
ye it was im goint to basement to check it.
It looks like a cool sports car!
it's more of a stool, not a chair, a chair has a back to it. but I guess the pocket stool wouldn't sound as impressive for some reason?
Instead of pocket chair package contained bobcat.
Would not buy again.
"if I was a head without a body, I'd probably be quite comfortable." PMSL
Hey, it's the ASpray guy!
If you need that much folding chairs than why dont you ask the persons who need them to help you move them
The perfect chair for The Brain That Wouldn't Die!
But does it grate cheese ?????
my dad had the same chair, TWENTY years ago, built exactly the same
so it's not new, useful for fishing thou (only)
I can't imagine using that in public.
Good stuff 😂😂😂😂
Your tv stand is the same as mine
This thing makes it look like someones swatting down trying to take a crap.

Why does the guy in the beginning have like 10 chairs?
I'm convinced that these products are purchased only by reviewers and article writers who want to make fun of them.
Why was he caring like 6 or 7 chairs, that's why the guy was having trouble, what a idiot. Also can I buy it in Walmart and then use the box, if I can it might get the same effect.
The only use I could see for this is for like grandmothers or other people who have kids around sometimes but not a ton of storage space.
Try imagining a 70+ year old grandmother trying to sit that low on that tiny thing... and then trying to get up.
He meant for grandmothers who have grandkids that come over occasionally.
***** Oh, OK. My bad.
For camping. Use backpack stool :)
My friend had two. I'm not sure if she still has them. But I do remember the chairs are a bitch to unfold, including the damned legs.
Have we gone to the point that sitting on the ground isn't an option anymore? I sat on the ground and didn't get influenza or tuberculosis, only a slightly green ass.
I cant stop laughing
You know you can trust a product promoted by the Aspray guy...
lol very honest review
I'll sit on the ground.
THE BIG GAME :0
you dont need an suv to tailgate
what if you squat like a slav?
It's like sitting on a milking stool. Didn't milk cows before Mike?
They mean pocket as in shitty ;D
I have a friend who weighs more than 350 lbs. If he sat on this it'd insert itself in him and he'd probably need to have surgery to remove it.
yes your mom
[Insert Name Here]
Sheer brilliance! You sir, are a pip
just another individual thank you, let us roll the fattest of blunts.
You can get something like this from pound lad and it's a lot stronger
+Stunt Dix
Pound Lad? ........ joke tells itself
Some of these things just sound like something from a fucking cartoon.
Its a good thing I am a kangaroo :D
I'm tiny and weigh nowhere near 250 pounds and even I don't think my ass would fit comfortably in that thing.
If you dont medically need it (aka disability or something like that, and obesity is not a disability) just stand up. it does wonders for your blood flow and we already spend way too much time sitting on our asses anyway.
That looks very uncomfortable to sit on.
dude don't crack your head open on the radiator
Gardening in the yard...do you not garden in the garden
I have one, but it's like 15 year old
Hey Mike. Now that you are lighter the you were in this video, you think that you can give this chair another shot?
yes it is !
and how the fuck u can patent sth 60 y old or more!
and even quality of top material is better - damn !
and this would collapse into metal rods of death under my weight. (i weigh about double what you do) so id pass :P
A shame, could've been nice to bring when camping

+supernova743 Yeah, the only problem is they advertise like it is (and say it is) a chair
that would be fine, except they want you to sit on it for an hour and a half while your bratty child plays soccer
*Chair not compatible with women.
If chair doesn't work, try unplugging brain.
