I never understood why toy companies advertised their toy pets with the selling point "IT NEVER NEEDS TO BE WALKED, FED OR CLEANED UP!!!!". First of all, isn't the point of having a pet learning responsibility and how to look after a living creature? If one is planning in being a parent when they are older, having a pet builds up the skills. Knowing that most humans want kids, why do people think that advertising that your product does NOT give you responsibility or nurturing skills a good idea?! Second, what heartless person would rather have an object as a pet than a real creature that would love them simply because they do not want to TAKE CARE OF THEM? Now that I think about it... Seeing how so many humans buy a real dog or even have a baby and are NOT good at taking care of them because they are lazy fucks, a fake baby or animal is a good idea. There should be a robotic baby for people who see babies as trends so real human babies do not have to suffer with shit parents. But still, even as a kid I never understood why anyone would want a pet yet not be willing to take responsibility for them.
LMAO @ 02:35! That face he pulled was amazing! It was him being surprised that he caught it mixed with him being so chuffed he was like 'yeah, did you see that sh*t'. :)
So my dad had one of these, and we had it chillin on like this bar thing in our living room, and out of know where as me and my dad are just chillin watching tv, this bird will start going off. I've never seen a ghost in this house or anything, but my dad said he has, the only paranormal activity I ever encountered was this freakin bird.
Graylord "The budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) /ˈbʌdʒərɨɡɑr/, also known as common pet parakeet or shell parakeet and informally nicknamed the budgie, is a small, long-tailed, seed-eating parrot. "
I know, granted I am sure a bird would leap from its stand, but I would assume it would be graceful enough to land on its feet and not fall over on its side, unless yeah, it was dead as a doornail.
Hey Mike, I got one of these bloody asinine things a few years ago to review on the Commercials I Hate BBS... it kept falling into the waste bin and one of my cats tried to rip the phone-bologna fake plastic dead bird's head off because the cat got pissed off with the damn incessant chirping. And you did miss one crucial point: the on/off switch is placed where the vent (bunghole) of a real bird would be. :-/
I remember when I was 8 I saw a singing bird christmas tree ornament and I begged my mom to get it, and after a day, I was like "TURN IT OFF!" Now we either take the batteries out, turn it off, or put it at the back of the tree (It's motion activated, and no one walks behind the tree.)
That's kind like something I did lol, they have these motion sensitive dancing skeletons for halloween that sing while they dance in Walmart, I walked past and they all started dancing and setting each other off so I was like "Awesome, I want 4! It'll be like my house is alive!" they never stopped.... ever... it was funny for like 5 minutes then I punted one of the damn things accross the yard and threw all but one of out. In hinsight that was incredible stupid of me, but it is funny to look back on and laugh at now.
I have a Parakeet, and it sounds nothing like this thing. The infomercial saying the Parakeet can't tell the difference doesn't say much. Parakeets are not intelligent enough to understand they are looking at their own reflection in a mirror.
Why would you ever have this as a replacement for a pet? People don't tend to get pets just so they can hear them and look at them (though this thing doesn't give much of a show regardless), they also want to interact with them, maybe form an affectionate bond if they can!
My grandma has one of those things. And every time my family and I go over and hear that thing go off all the time, we always know who to blame, my cousin.
i collect animatronics or just robots and i love these things machines are cool what can i say, i just found one at a thriftstore that still works they are very rare in working condition because of cheap geers he now sits with my pete the repeat parrot
I think perfect Polly is definitely a knock off, because Takara; a company in Japan made animated birds known as breezy singers that move their heads, beaks, and tails. At least they sound like the actual bird. Not to mention they have a photo sensor, which shuts them off at night when there’s not enough light in the room. This company even introduced three different colored parakeets to their line, at least they actually sound like real budgies. perfect poly just sounds like random bird noises, not even close to a parakeet. at least Takara didn’t make an infomercial about these birds, because honestly they’re more of a decoration, but I wouldn’t treat it as if it were an actual pet bird.
+ShintogaDeathAngel Budgies are parakeets though? The term parakeet just means a small member of the parrot family, and a lot of people just call budgies common parakeets.
A parakeet is a generic term for any small to medium sized parrot that has long tail feathers, which makes it overly broad. If you wanted to actually be useful and specific, then yes, you would refer to that kind of bird specifically as a budgerigar (budgie).
dyansis Well, both: "The budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) /ˈbʌdʒərɨɡɑr/, also known as common pet parakeet or shell parakeet and informally nicknamed the budgie, is a small, long-tailed, seed-eating parrot. "
That part where it collapsed off the perch ended me. Brilliant.
Mike didn't even miss a beat when it did, a true reviewing professional!
I own seventy three of these. They keep commanding me to buy more. Please help.
Do IT JUST DO IT

So a green piece of plastic with screw holes and a shrill MIDI file for a voice is supposed to be the alternative to a real bird?
generalcoon47 As someone who owns a bird, yes.
At least you don’t have to feed it
Ahahahahahahahahahah I can't think of anything else so stupid

All the yeses go to you.
I was hoping someone was going to make a Monty Python reference! XD
I fucking love that you took the time to actually type out accents. I can hear it in my head.
+PufferBluntman Better replace it then
Because screw holes in the bird is SOOOOOO realistic
not to mention that hole in the chest where the motion sensor is.
Alex Liu Also the gap between its head and its body.
I love how it keeps clicking. So life-like!
with real Fjord pining action!

But does it grate cheese???
+uTubeNoITube YES!!!!!!!!!!
0:40 Had hysterics at this point.
0:42 Now that's what I call a dead parakeet.
Why is it perpetually having a seizure?
For the loneliest person on the planet.
I got one of these as I white elephant gift on Christmas, it was broken out of the box
So my dad had one of these, and we had it chillin on like this bar thing in our living room, and out of know where as me and my dad are just chillin watching tv, this bird will start going off. I've never seen a ghost in this house or anything, but my dad said he has, the only paranormal activity I ever encountered was this freakin bird.
my sister got one of these at a pet store its head fell of a few days later
I wish someone would feel about me the way infomercials talk about products
The only reason I'd get one is to stick it at the end of the garden behind the bushes to piss my mum off. Apart from that, it's fucking useless.
It'll certainly cure you of your desire to have live birds at your house.
I'm calling PETPA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Plastic Animals) on you!
But... It's a budgie, not a parakeet.

Oh my god I almost died when the bird fell over.
+Tazzie1312 "And it wouldn't do THAT if it were a real bird!" *LMAO*
"It's not pinin', it's passed on!"

That was me. 😎
At least they got the incessant chirping accurate to a real parakeet
Jacques: John WTF is that thing?
jontron: i dont fuuucken know EAAGHHHH!
It's Jacques during his awkward phase.
I'm guessing it's not an excellent product to you.
Is no one else going to question the position they chose to place the power switch?
And the seam around its neck makes it look like some sort of frankenburd!

Why does it give me a instantaneous feeling to go find a hammer and smash it?

I suppose you could sell it to a blind kid,,,
fackingpos Needs tape around the head.
Preeeetty biiird!
My grandma has one of those things. And every time my family and I go over and hear that thing go off all the time, we always know who to blame, my cousin.
I was given one of these as a gift a while back. Not really sure how to feel about that...
The Budginator....it absolutely will not stop making that insufferable noise! EVER! Until you smash it into little splinters with your shovel!
"I know a dead bird when I see one!"
It sounds like a Budgie dancing on a typewriter....
it's "lifelike" head movements just make it look like it's spazzing out!
Christina Phillips it looks like it’s constantly having a seizure.
they sold this on tv? why? it looks and sounds like something you would buy at the dollar store or get in a happy meal
my real parakeets started chirping like crazy when they heard the perfect polly.
Made me watch Monty Python: Dead Parrot for god knows how manyth time (sorry...english doesn't have enough words for me).
Ashens sent me here, I'm glad he did.
i found mike while searching for more 1pound food reviews right after watching Ashens.. Im glad i found this channel... it's awesome. xD
"Look mom! Its trying to kill itself!"
imagine a parent taking the batteries out of perfect polly and a kid going "MOMMY MOMMY POLLY DIED!"
Perhaps you should nail it to its perch.
The readers of which paper would have wanted to see that toy chirpy thing set on fire?
I have one and I also have 2 parakeets and they are fuhcing scared to shit of it
The un-canary valley
+A Rodriguez Best reply ever!
LMAO
Don't know whether to cringe or laugh at hilarious joke....
but there budgies not canary's oh I have 3 now also
oh my lanta i haven't laugh so hard in quite a while. SUBBED!~:D
I-m sure I'm not the first... but it's pinin' for the fjords!
i collect animatronics or just robots and i love these things machines are cool what can i say, i just found one at a thriftstore that still works they are very rare in working condition because of cheap geers he now sits with my pete the repeat parrot
The problem I have with this product is the fact that it is advertised as a pet alternative, despite it being more like a toy.
Book Plug at 1:50
Well that one thing you could do to get rid of it Mike...
Maybe you should send it to Doug :P
So many Monty Python Jokes to choose from.
So much movement in those tail feathers 1:17 pmsl.
anyone remember that one episode of Tom and Jerry? ...
I can't stop laughing.
Then they can make Mr.Cricket and annoy the hell out of people with that!Why did I just give them that idea?!Big mistake!
0:42 The real reason why you should get a real bird at not an inanimate soulless hunk of plastic.
Laughing so hard, I've watched a lot of your videos and I love all of them but I was literally laughing the whole time!!!!!!
The likes are for the ones who like how funny the video is. The dislikes are for those who own one against their will.
+1 sub from ashens channel :D
ur funny
Ashens sent me here too.
Ashens swarm go!
Ashens sent me here, as well! Lol
They should make one like a furby that can learn.
Have you been lonely ever since you got it?
Perfect Poly the telegraph bird...
It's impressive that someone actually tries to sell that shit
I swear I've seen this one before. Like a week or two ago.
I think perfect Polly is definitely a knock off, because Takara; a company in Japan made animated birds known as breezy singers that move their heads, beaks, and tails. At least they sound like the actual bird. Not to mention they have a photo sensor, which shuts them off at night when there’s not enough light in the room. This company even introduced three different colored parakeets to their line, at least they actually sound like real budgies. perfect poly just sounds like random bird noises, not even close to a parakeet. at least Takara didn’t make an infomercial about these birds, because honestly they’re more of a decoration, but I wouldn’t treat it as if it were an actual pet bird.
sounds like its sending a telegraph
Mike mate, get yourself a hd camera 360p is rubbish but good video
Quick! give it some Dylantin!!!
My great uncle Don has on for the reason they sell it.
Can't they tell the difference between parakeets and budgies?
+ShintogaDeathAngel
Budgies are parakeets though? The term parakeet just means a small member of the parrot family, and a lot of people just call budgies common parakeets.
looks ok for kids about 5 years old who want a pet, but not grown people who want to hear chirping while reading, what a weird advert
why is everybody here from ashens
is it just me or is that a budgie not a parakeet? Or are they the same thing
A parakeet is a generic term for any small to medium sized parrot that has long tail feathers, which makes it overly broad. If you wanted to actually be useful and specific, then yes, you would refer to that kind of bird specifically as a budgerigar (budgie).

The perfect pet for people who don't want pets in the first place!
lol why does it keep looping? it's so bad.
sounds almost like it's doing the morse code for S.O.S over and over again.
omg I got that for Christmas i understand why now
Polly is just depressing.
Who would want this? Seriously what was the product made for? This infomercial has to be a joke.
2:53 🤣
This guy had me cracking up
Parakeet was a budgie
It's a goddamn Budgie, not a parakeet.
This made me laugh so hard.
Ashens sent me
Ashens sent me here
that infomercial was so damn cringy
Soooo many toys!!!!!
You remind me of the guy from Peep Show!!!!!!!
It nearly damaged the camera, get it out of here!
Omfg my girlfriend grandparents has this
parakeets taste delicious
Nope.avi
I have a real budgie and it’s equally as annoying as the fake one
You’re so mean to polly the bird
Not a parakeet it is a budgie
