I've never seen someone so clearly dissect how these commercials try to manipulate people only to then IMMEDIATELY buy into the exact same advertisement, he does it every time.
I’m 100% convinced this dude just bounces between being a highly intelligent being, and one of the dumbest people on the planet. Just dings off those traits like a pinball.
I love how the Fill N' Flavor's marketing strategy wasn't to advertise it as a tool that makes adding filling to a cake a little simpler, but rather to say "OH how DREADFUL, this cake DOESN'T have filling??? INEDIBLE!"
For those of you who missed it: The Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill was recalled on March 6, 2008, by QVC Inc. and Tristar Products Inc. due to a fire hazard.
Jerma: Pfft this is a dumb product Infomercial: you can do ONE (1) more thing in it than what the name implies!! Jerma: actually that's pretty cool. I'd buy one of these.
@@JacobKinsley Clever tongs just had me thinking I could use regular tongs for anything I'd do with a spatula. I don't necessarily need the silly plastic thing that looks like a stupid toy, I've just underestimated how versatile tongs are. They grab things, therefore they can flip things.

For me it's the person who's so skonked out of their gourd they're trying to make edibles but don't measure the ingredients and just keep making shit shrivelled up failed brownies
My favorite thing about the Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill Infomercial is that, implied by the name, it is HIS grill, he made it. BUT throughout he has zero idea what it is capable of, like he's being introduced to it for the first time.
I love the Pastafina, because of how utterly useless it is. When chat said it was literally just a plastic tube, they were right. All that talk about how great it cooks your pasta, when it's just a tall container. I mean, it does cover the entirety of the spaghetti, but like, when you put it in a pot it becomes flaccid anyways. Most other infomercials do _something._ Maybe not a good something, but something nonetheless. Pastafina is a tall cup.
I thought it was a glass tube? Either way it had plastic fittings. Do not expose plastic to high temperatures! The plasticizers will leach out and they're all terrible for your endocrine system. Plus, the plastics will harden and get brittle. Even 150f, etc is hot enough to do it. How much this happens of course depends on the type of plastic and what plasticizers we're used but generally speaking most plastic plates/bowls should be kept cold.

1:00:00 this rant was something i realized when I was watching an episode of doomsday Preppers and before a commercial they did a when we return segment. And it was like “food will be scarce in the post apocalypse so Martha and Greg have been planing a food source” and it cut to a close up shot of their like 400 pound 14 year old son. Then it zoomed out to show him holding a rabbit cage. That editor know what he did and I am sure he still laughs about it to this day.

For me it's that shitty silicone hat that you can put brownie batter in and it would.... make brownies. Like bro, you could pour brownie batter in a fleshlight and bake it and it would make brownies.
Ppl say that he's insane for just streaming him watching infomercials for 3 hours but in early high school i used to come home and watch the infomercial channels on tv for fun. So I mean yeah y'all have a point but it fun i can't lie
OKAY BUT LIKE are we not gonna talk about the fact that they were like "pasta is 800 calories" and in the small text it said for a FOUR CUP PORTION, WHO TF EATS 4 CUPS OF PASTA IN ONE SITTING YOU EAT LIKE 3 OUNCES
I feel like most of these are meant for old people. The fact Jerma actually thinks some of these products are a good idea just confirms that he's on his way to the nursing home.
Nah, these came from the "inventing entrepreneur" era in the early 00s where everyone thought they were a genius trying to patent simple things, and some of the smarter ones figured out how to make supply lines from china to make these things for cents. Some of those selling for $10 probably cost less than 10 cents to make each. That's why they can give you four or even five for free and not give a shit. Now Amazon controls all.
They totally are, senior citizens and physically/mentally disabled people. Just look at how many of them compare using the product to some basic mundane physical task. "If you can turn a doorknob, you can use this product!", "If you can twist an ice cube tray, you can use the brownie baker!" Etc. It's demonstrating that it's an accessible product for people who struggle with anything but the simplest actions needed to properly function at home, demographics that also happened to spend a lot of time watching daytime tv during this time period.
Stream of the year contender, something about the face cam and seeing his reactions to when the commercials show the people flipping a burger out of a pan or the brownies stuck to the baking sheet made my sides hurt
Skipping carrots on a chicken pot pie is like skipping the lettuce on a burger. Like bro, no one will act surprised when you die of clogged arteries at age 30.
They’re better because they haven’t been been completely drained of all humor or interest by “reacting” to things for years on end. The only time reactions are truly entertaining is when they’re genuine, and the person watching actually has a passion/interest/hatred in what they’re reacting to. Most “reactors” just leech off of other peoples content for free entertainment value and would be nothing if they didn’t have the videos to react to.
depends on what they're reacting to, too. if it's another youtuber's content, then it's kind of scummy unless they can add to the dicussion / only show the highlight reactions. if it's something like old advertisements, it's more forgiveable, i.e Chadtronic and Jacksepticeye react to old commercials, think 80s, 90s, early 00s
What he didn't mention as a part of every deal is the very quiet 'just pay additional shipping and handling.' They aren't giving you anything for free.
I like how at the top of Hulk Hogan's commercial the grill was apparently "his latest invention" but then later he's entirely skeptical of it being able to make grilled cheese sandwiches in 30 seconds
I'm usually not a fan of gross out humor, but when Jerma talked about the guy gagging pulling hair out of the drain, I cried laughing. Best stream 2022
i had this video on for like 3 hours doing other stuff. had already seen this comment. somehow i managed to start cooking right at the moment this advert came on. am i cursed?
Jerma truly is a “family” Streamer. Because he treats his chat like family. The way a father would treat a son. He tolerates them when they’re rowdy, and even calms them down at times. Jeremy listens and watches chat when they talk. When people say “goodnight” Jerma says “have a good rest.” He listens to the suggestions of chat and does everything he can to make them happy, even if it means planning things months in advance. He reads every question he is given, and answers them honestly. He treats his chat like one big family. Which makes Jerma a “Family” Streamer.
3/6 marks for the analysis. The key point you missed is this is "How the ideal father would treat his son". The crucial fact is that Jerma acts as a role model for these people, especially those without a good father figure in their life. This is a key distinction as to why jerma provides a more soothing and relaxed experience to other streamers of his caliber. In a way, you could say that jerma’s beta dad style approach as a video game streamer is what many wish for in a father figure. Most of these individuals grew up with a very fractured relationship with their fathers and relied heavily on their mothers to support them in a sense that it was their mother who provided the father figure. What most lack is a supportive father figure to help guide them through the confusion of life. The qualities Jerma portrays through his "father" character allow the chat members who frequent his channel to relax, be themselves and most of all never feel that they are in danger of being called out. And when they are, it is either of no real consequence or actually brings something positive to the chat. Fear of speaking out is very common among those without a real father figure, and that is where Jerma truly shines because he provides a safe haven for those who feel alienated, as long as you follow the rules. The problem for Jerma is that he is mainly focused on being a gamer and just that one stream. One which is special to him and has nothing to do with his new role as "dad". He is in fact, the only dude we know of who is focused on gaming at the moment. If he sticks with that niche and just brings gaming with him, he has a pretty good chance at keeping his audience despite the popularization of esports. That being said, I personally believe it is not the right choice for him to change and try and expand his audience. With so many people streaming in every genre nowadays, the audience for video game streams is rapidly growing so the opportunity to gain a large following is now high. If Jerma can expand his viewership to, say, a bit more than 40,000, he can start thinking about growing his popularity to the point that he can break into the mainstream community. With that and a competitive mindset that allows him to grow on his own without being controlled by the idea that you need to be the "streamer" in order to survive. This is probably the case of the "slow burn" trend that many successful esports personalities employ. This brings us to one of the biggest differences between jerma and the traditional twitch streamer: Jerma isn’t really a streamer. He is essentially a community member that has been given the power to direct a community. In a way, you could say he is the "father" of Twitch and Twitch chat. The only thing he has to do is provide a safe and exciting space for the community to let loose and talk to one another. He has the power to fire out bad messages, which he does for any given reason. An ideal answer to the question is as follows: "If I had to choose between streaming as jerma or as dad, I would choose dad". Jerma has grown a following of mostly dads and he also has a large audience which probably sees his words as guidance rather than insults. As a father and streamer, he is the father that the people in his chat love and trust. However, as a Twitch streamer, his brand has to change. He will have to be exposed to more people and have to interact with them more, which does not appeal to him as a streamer and will probably not appeal to the Twitch chat.
You gotta admit: 1. It's practical 2. Will see a lot of use (anytime you get out the butter) 3. Most likely product to do exactly what it advertises Hell, I kinda want one, only thing I question is if I could store it in the butter compartment in my fridge (I'm guessing not likely).
+2 to both of these comments. plus, it would be very useful for disabled or elderly individuals. and, i mean, for me personally, i don't need more than the slice size on a piece of toast. and yet, i am forever putting too much on my food and getting crumbs in the butter 😧 they just took a common problem and made a simple solution. i'd buy it 🔥
It's so ingenious, but at the same time I imagine it only lasts a minute or two out the fridge without getting gummed up with half melted butter and would be a BITCH to clean.
I dont really know where the "andy" jokes originated from, but they're one of my favorites ever. "chef andy" actually made me stop breathing for a second 😭😭
Whenever I make ground beef tacos or something, I always have a surprisingly tough time flipping over the ground beef while I’m cooking it and smashing it up
as a cat owner i can confidentially say that all the cats during the kitty shack commercial were high on catnip and in any sober state they wouldn't even touch it
I mean not all are scams. In a lot of cases people just sell Their actually cool ideas to these shopping channels because they lack the connections to get into real stores. Then the inventors get scammed though and the channel uses cheap materials to save money
@Victoria that's really interesting! i wonder how many actually made it to mass production (or whatever the right term is). a lot of these - whether they're intended for disabled people or not - really do seem useful, it'd be a shame if they never got into circulation.
I think that the war on cooking oils was around the same time that elementary school gym class was really pushing the food pyramid. Oil was at the very top, meaning it was meant to be eaten the least. Which is true i guess but no one is drinking cups of the shit. I also remember that around this time, acne medication commercials also talked about limiting oil consumption.
People have these weird and dated ideas about dieting and wellness that are dated af, but thanks to pop culture and marketing persist. Case in point, excessive carbs are usually what ends up being stored as fat, but everyone thinks that eating fats and oils = storing them as fats and oil. My other favorite example is how everyone is always afraid of sodium when in reality unless you have a heart or kidney condition all you need to do is drink enough water.
@@tac6557 I mean, that's ACTUALLY the best way to lose weight so long as you dont delve into malnutrition, but gluttony is a hell of a drug and America is extremely high on it. Lol. Also worth noting that what I described is literally what made the Atkins diet so mind boggling to people. Because that's how it works.
Someone needs to tell jerma the thing about the metal utensils only applies to non stick pans because itll break the protective coating which beneath is Teflon which causes cancer
I was actually thinking of that when I watched the vod. For cast iron and steel pans the scratching is more about extending the lifespan of it, but even so it's more of a suggestion because even if you make an active effort to scratch them every use they last a fairly long time. Teflon on the other hand!! You got to either use a bubble wrapped silicon spatula with a laser thermostat attachment or perfect your gravity defying telechintic pan flip in addition to developing daredevil heat sense ability to scramble some non-stick cancer free eggs in the morning. In addition to that remember to clean them with the soft spot of the sponge, make sure nothing is in contact with the teflon while drying and eigther buy a pan cover or remember to not put anything on it while in storage. He talks about it as if it's some weird cooking "respect your tools" etiquette, when in reality a scratch in that thing is a serious biohazard.
@@axderwraith1486 wel...my dude...I'm sorry to say that you probably read a teflon funded research paper, ever since the dangers of pfa's the teflon companies have been trying to: 1 down play the severity of pfa's dangers (and at the same time installing and giving weekly maintenance to some heavy duty water filters to nearby communities my theory as of why is to prevent a civil lawsuit and prevent a increase in cancer cases undeniably linking the two) 2 they are betting the Gov will take their sweet time on expanding the bioha mantle to the rest of tha pfa compounds family i.e. epa says PFOA is a bio hazard don't use it; companies put a groucho mask on a similar, almost indistinguishable molecule and says "this one is chill and doesn't produce cancer compounds, trust me bro when have I lied to you? teflon is recommended to be thrown away as soon as you see a scratch on it, it's not explicitly said why but we know why that is. And for anybody anxious about the build up of junk in our blood a recent study showed that regularly donating blood helps to keep the concentration of several hazardous compounds low, so go help save lives and get your blood filtered at the same time, take advantage of it before thay start changing that shis.
The crux of at least half of these devices is that they say 'its simple to clean and dishwasher safe' when its actually that you now have this device that has like 12 different pieces that take up half the dish washer plus if its an electric appliance theres probably a base you need to clean from stuff that drips onto it. I laughed out loud when they were showing them put the Hulk grill into the cabinet and said 'its as easy as storing a box of cereal' But the cabnet was like a trash can slotted space and the thing took up a good 10" in width. Like 4x the size of a family sized cereal box. But sure, just as easy to store away because physics and universal displacement laws dont apply to it.
I love that whenever people react to infomercials they always have one presenter that they love and then they destroy every other person who isn’t their favourite
35:01 we actually had this thing at my work, we made zucchini noodles to sell to people. it was honestly the most fun item to make and i was genuinely sad when they told me i couldnt make it anymore
I hate TV but I would absolutely watch a sitcom thats just a family thats constantly buying As Seen on TV items. Like entire episodes devoted to the new thing they got and how they deal with it. But other items recur throughout the show.
i love how Jerma pauses the video by clicking the play button like a teacher who doesn't know you can click the middle of the screen to pause and has very low mouse sensitivity
its a different one, but my parents have one of those "egg genie" type egg cookers bc we eat a lot of eggs. it's great if you regularly cook a fuckton of boiled eggs. if you dont, not worth it
There is no doubt that these products have at least one function, but the commercial begins when they start trying to show another use for these singular function devices. It’s good to hear someone use this, as well as recognize the extreme specificity that it used for!
"it's a grinder date." wow. imagine going to your grinder dates house and you're like "so?...what now? 😏" and he goes "Well I just got the Veggetti. wanna make zucchini pasta?" sounds like the best date ever.
1:58:00 Jerma, you're a streamer. You can fake your own participation in a infomercial, with a green screen. Jerma, you're a streamer, you can fake your own infomercial
i remember coming home from middle school and just plopping down on the couch, then infomercials would pop up pretty much every commercial break...good times...
34:03 This yucky icky pasta only fills you up and leaves you feeling satisfied, how disgusting! Why not have gluten free, unfulfilling, mounds of salad that will just make you hungry and want to snack an hour later?
You can use the second magic meal as an urn to store grandmas ashes because you killed her with the microwave chicken you made with the first magic meal lol
The amazing thing about watching so many of these at once is starting to realize how goofy each concept truly is, they seem so convincing at first but after the 20th one or so they all seem like gimmicks

I feel like most of these are meant for old people. The fact Jerma actually thinks some of these products are a good idea just confirms that he's on his way to the nursing home.
Nah, these came from the "inventing entrepreneur" era in the early 00s where everyone thought they were a genius trying to patent simple things, and some of the smarter ones figured out how to make supply lines from china to make these things for cents. Some of those selling for $10 probably cost less than 10 cents to make each. That's why they can give you four or even five for free and not give a shit.
Now Amazon controls all.
They totally are, senior citizens and physically/mentally disabled people. Just look at how many of them compare using the product to some basic mundane physical task. "If you can turn a doorknob, you can use this product!", "If you can twist an ice cube tray, you can use the brownie baker!" Etc. It's demonstrating that it's an accessible product for people who struggle with anything but the simplest actions needed to properly function at home, demographics that also happened to spend a lot of time watching daytime tv during this time period.
Some of them do seem practical tbh

Why are people who don't do react content regularly always the best at reacting? This shit is so fucking entertaining
They’re better because they haven’t been been completely drained of all humor or interest by “reacting” to things for years on end. The only time reactions are truly entertaining is when they’re genuine, and the person watching actually has a passion/interest/hatred in what they’re reacting to. Most “reactors” just leech off of other peoples content for free entertainment value and would be nothing if they didn’t have the videos to react to.
Because this is Jerma we talking about.
depends on what they're reacting to, too. if it's another youtuber's content, then it's kind of scummy unless they can add to the dicussion / only show the highlight reactions. if it's something like old advertisements, it's more forgiveable, i.e Chadtronic and Jacksepticeye react to old commercials, think 80s, 90s, early 00s

Jerma truly is a “family” Streamer.
Because he treats his chat like family. The way a father would treat a son. He tolerates them when they’re rowdy, and even calms them down at times.
Jeremy listens and watches chat when they talk. When people say “goodnight” Jerma says “have a good rest.” He listens to the suggestions of chat and does everything he can to make them happy, even if it means planning things months in advance. He reads every question he is given, and answers them honestly. He treats his chat like one big family.
Which makes Jerma a “Family” Streamer.
This reads like something from talk to transformer
Family roleplay andy
3/6 marks for the analysis.
The key point you missed is this is "How the ideal father would treat his son". The crucial fact is that Jerma acts as a role model for these people, especially those without a good father figure in their life. This is a key distinction as to why jerma provides a more soothing and relaxed experience to other streamers of his caliber. In a way, you could say that jerma’s beta dad style approach as a video game streamer is what many wish for in a father figure. Most of these individuals grew up with a very fractured relationship with their fathers and relied heavily on their mothers to support them in a sense that it was their mother who provided the father figure. What most lack is a supportive father figure to help guide them through the confusion of life.
The qualities Jerma portrays through his "father" character allow the chat members who frequent his channel to relax, be themselves and most of all never feel that they are in danger of being called out. And when they are, it is either of no real consequence or actually brings something positive to the chat. Fear of speaking out is very common among those without a real father figure, and that is where Jerma truly shines because he provides a safe haven for those who feel alienated, as long as you follow the rules.
The problem for Jerma is that he is mainly focused on being a gamer and just that one stream. One which is special to him and has nothing to do with his new role as "dad". He is in fact, the only dude we know of who is focused on gaming at the moment. If he sticks with that niche and just brings gaming with him, he has a pretty good chance at keeping his audience despite the popularization of esports. That being said, I personally believe it is not the right choice for him to change and try and expand his audience. With so many people streaming in every genre nowadays, the audience for video game streams is rapidly growing so the opportunity to gain a large following is now high.
If Jerma can expand his viewership to, say, a bit more than 40,000, he can start thinking about growing his popularity to the point that he can break into the mainstream community. With that and a competitive mindset that allows him to grow on his own without being controlled by the idea that you need to be the "streamer" in order to survive. This is probably the case of the "slow burn" trend that many successful esports personalities employ.
This brings us to one of the biggest differences between jerma and the traditional twitch streamer: Jerma isn’t really a streamer. He is essentially a community member that has been given the power to direct a community. In a way, you could say he is the "father" of Twitch and Twitch chat. The only thing he has to do is provide a safe and exciting space for the community to let loose and talk to one another. He has the power to fire out bad messages, which he does for any given reason.
An ideal answer to the question is as follows: "If I had to choose between streaming as jerma or as dad, I would choose dad". Jerma has grown a following of mostly dads and he also has a large audience which probably sees his words as guidance rather than insults. As a father and streamer, he is the father that the people in his chat love and trust. However, as a Twitch streamer, his brand has to change. He will have to be exposed to more people and have to interact with them more, which does not appeal to him as a streamer and will probably not appeal to the Twitch chat.
Wow guys look it's Jerma's *son*
Him getting super excited over the butter slicer was great lol
You gotta admit:
1. It's practical
2. Will see a lot of use (anytime you get out the butter)
3. Most likely product to do exactly what it advertises
Hell, I kinda want one, only thing I question is if I could store it in the butter compartment in my fridge (I'm guessing not likely).
I was unimpressed until they said that each slice was made to be approximately 1/4 tablespoon, that's genuinely useful if you do a lot of baking.
+2 to both of these comments. plus, it would be very useful for disabled or elderly individuals.
and, i mean, for me personally, i don't need more than the slice size on a piece of toast. and yet, i am forever putting too much on my food and getting crumbs in the butter 😧 they just took a common problem and made a simple solution. i'd buy it 🔥
It's so ingenious, but at the same time I imagine it only lasts a minute or two out the fridge without getting gummed up with half melted butter and would be a BITCH to clean.
@@JacobKinsley I mean, it's just butter. Would probably melt fine if you rinsed it out with hot water.

I mean not all are scams. In a lot of cases people just sell Their actually cool ideas to these shopping channels because they lack the connections to get into real stores. Then the inventors get scammed though and the channel uses cheap materials to save money
@Victoria that's really interesting! i wonder how many actually made it to mass production (or whatever the right term is). a lot of these - whether they're intended for disabled people or not - really do seem useful, it'd be a shame if they never got into circulation.
I think that the war on cooking oils was around the same time that elementary school gym class was really pushing the food pyramid. Oil was at the very top, meaning it was meant to be eaten the least. Which is true i guess but no one is drinking cups of the shit. I also remember that around this time, acne medication commercials also talked about limiting oil consumption.
People have these weird and dated ideas about dieting and wellness that are dated af, but thanks to pop culture and marketing persist. Case in point, excessive carbs are usually what ends up being stored as fat, but everyone thinks that eating fats and oils = storing them as fats and oil.
My other favorite example is how everyone is always afraid of sodium when in reality unless you have a heart or kidney condition all you need to do is drink enough water.

Someone needs to tell jerma the thing about the metal utensils only applies to non stick pans because itll break the protective coating which beneath is Teflon which causes cancer
I was actually thinking of that when I watched the vod. For cast iron and steel pans the scratching is more about extending the lifespan of it, but even so it's more of a suggestion because even if you make an active effort to scratch them every use they last a fairly long time.
Teflon on the other hand!! You got to either use a bubble wrapped silicon spatula with a laser thermostat attachment or perfect your gravity defying telechintic pan flip in addition to developing daredevil heat sense ability to scramble some non-stick cancer free eggs in the morning. In addition to that remember to clean them with the soft spot of the sponge, make sure nothing is in contact with the teflon while drying and eigther buy a pan cover or remember to not put anything on it while in storage.
He talks about it as if it's some weird cooking "respect your tools" etiquette, when in reality a scratch in that thing is a serious biohazard.
Teflon doesn't cause cancer - a material that used to be used in the production of teflon does.
@@axderwraith1486 wel...my dude...I'm sorry to say that you probably read a teflon funded research paper, ever since the dangers of pfa's the teflon companies have been trying to:
1 down play the severity of pfa's dangers (and at the same time installing and giving weekly maintenance to some heavy duty water filters to nearby communities my theory as of why is to prevent a civil lawsuit and prevent a increase in cancer cases undeniably linking the two)
2 they are betting the Gov will take their sweet time on expanding the bioha mantle to the rest of tha pfa compounds family i.e. epa says PFOA is a bio hazard don't use it; companies put a groucho mask on a similar, almost indistinguishable molecule and says "this one is chill and doesn't produce cancer compounds, trust me bro when have I lied to you?
teflon is recommended to be thrown away as soon as you see a scratch on it, it's not explicitly said why but we know why that is. And for anybody anxious about the build up of junk in our blood a recent study showed that regularly donating blood helps to keep the concentration of several hazardous compounds low, so go help save lives and get your blood filtered at the same time, take advantage of it before thay start changing that shis.

The crux of at least half of these devices is that they say 'its simple to clean and dishwasher safe' when its actually that you now have this device that has like 12 different pieces that take up half the dish washer plus if its an electric appliance theres probably a base you need to clean from stuff that drips onto it.
I laughed out loud when they were showing them put the Hulk grill into the cabinet and said 'its as easy as storing a box of cereal' But the cabnet was like a trash can slotted space and the thing took up a good 10" in width. Like 4x the size of a family sized cereal box. But sure, just as easy to store away because physics and universal displacement laws dont apply to it.
