I like how the label says "Thunderbird" twice. Like they wanted it to look fancy, but someone said "Wait, our target market might not be able to read it in fancy cursive. We better add BLOCK TEXT above that."
Our target audience sees double as it is, most of the time !!
The target audience can't read.
That's a new label. The most recent one I remember was red/yellow. Just said Thunderbird across the top and had the circular Tbird logo in the middle.
Target audience? They're blind shooting blinds. 🤣
Who's the target audience? ..white people?
Thunderbird: We promise it won't turn your teeth black anymore!
Yaaaaaaaaaassssssssss!
I highly recommend reviewing Arbor Mist. It's tagline is "a fine wine product" and we call it "the Velveeta of Wine"
I mean, if you're wanting a weak party punch; Arbor Mist isn't all that bad. As long as you get the idea of wine out of your head.
I am incorporating "velveeta of wines" into my lexicon. Thank you sir.
Man, don’t ever say those words! I was running a liquor store wine section and the owner would buy 50 case deals of that swill just to annoy me
Arbor Mist is what it is. If you accept it for what it is, one can enjoy it. I do.
The question is, is it what Velveeta is to cheese or what Velveeta would be if you put it in a glass and called it wine.
"Pairs lovely with jumping on freight trains" Absolutely dead oml
That would definitely be a train hopper drink 🤣 "just spanging for some thunderbird!"
Thunderbird, Night Train, Wild Irish Rose and MD 20/20 are the kings of bum worthy wine. Served best at room temperature and wrapped in a brown bag.
what about cisco?😅
Boones farm
Binge watched a ton of these vids after seeing the Everclear review. Holy shit, I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Easy subscribe.
I'm literally on the same journey right now
I'm on my way
Me too buddy. It's like we just discovered gold.
I'm binging right now. I haven't laughed this much from a video by myself in months. Love it!
Right along side ya 🍷👌
As soon as he uncapped the bottle, I literally had an indelible scent memory of what I could only describe as "wine" scented nail polish remover. In my youth, a friend and I discovered the economy and slightly hallucinogenic properties of Thunderbird, with a Mickey's Big Mouth chaser. We called this evil pairing the Low-die cocktail.
Once upon a time in the Army Reserve, we mixed Thunderbird, Night Train, Mad Dog, Wild Irish Rose, and MRE grape cool aide. I called it permanent brain damage, or PBD for short. The ensuing hangover the next morning felt like a metal spike was driven through my head, temple to temple. There was some hideous gargoyle with a little metal hammer tapping on the spike about once a second. Tap, tap, tap, tap......

I think -11 is a bit generous. I could almost smell the small town 80's bowling ally urinal though my screen...
Funny enough, there’s a bowling alley In my town, called “thunderbird lanes” that place is desolate
@@darianprice2963 lol truly a relic of a past time, place was popping in the 70s and 80s
the quality of these videos relative to the number of subscribers is PREPOSTEROUS
100%! These are amazing.
I’m happy to see that he’s getting a bunch more subscribers now that his Everclear vid hit the front page of Reddit.
I’m working my way down, hoping to watch all his previous videos tonight 😆
If he keeps this up he'll be going places I tell ya!
He's only had the channel up for two months. (one month at the time of your comment). I'd say it's doing pretty well now.
@Mike Quigley just broke 50k
What's the word? Thunderbird! How's it sold? Good and cold. What's the jive? Bird's alive. What's the price? Thirty twice.
Damn skippy!
What's with Cirrosis? More like psychosis! Need help from this grape? To forget the prison rape? Drink deeply this liar? On your way to the lake of fire?
Gets you trashed in a flash
Thought the shag carpet on my face joke was going to go a completely different route lol
Laughed so hard nearly thunderbirded myself
This guy is going to BLOW UP, mark my words.
I hope so! He is good!!
I hope not, body parts will be flying everywhere!
Still hasn't happened - not sure why...
“A glorious dehydrated bird” 😂😂😂 I am in love with this dude lolololol
Pretty sure you have to drink this in an alley while sitting near a dumpster to fully appreciate this wine.
His first mistake was pouring it into a glass. Best drunk straight from the bottle, mostly while it's still wrapped in a brown paper bag. Lol.
I love how many micro expressions this induced.
That look at the camera during the swish killed me
Like, “Why are you maiking me do this?”
In south Texas, frozen margaritas are common fare in restaurants, but not all of them have hard liquor licenses, so they sell wine-aritas.
I used to work in a restaurant that won awards for their winearitas. Using Thunderbird.
I have always contended that Thunderbird is made by taking a 5 gallon bucket to Skidrow and paying winos to piss in it. Then, back at the factory (not distillary or winery, but factory) they add equal parts Welch's white grape juice and kerosene.
When your taste buds are shot, this is the wine for you.
Used to love Thunderbird when I was first in the Army in the early 80’s. Hanging out with the brothers got me into it!
"Man, that Thunderbird is a mean wine." - Joliet Jake, The Blues Brothers
In the words of They Might Be Giants, "We'll have fun, fun, fun until T-Bird takes her dad away".
A true hood classic, right there with Hennessy
They drink this in your hood?
Nothing says elegance and class like a bottle of *T H U N D E R B I R D*
after this he's seen the light and he's heard the word and he's staying away from that ol' dirty thunderbird
"When I run out of ale, it's Thunderbird wine" - the Beastie Boys, "Hold it now, hit it".
But birds don’t piss, which means the source of this drink is even more mysterious!
How they figured to extract this liquid from a solid is beyond me
When I was 16 years old I can remember me and some of my friends putting our money together and buying a fifth of Thunderbird, ah those were the good old days. 😊🥂
Ahhh. Modesto CA. Just a stone's throw from where that fine box of Franzia wine came from!
Night Train needs to be on this.
The fact only 7 people disliked this... Is proof enough... "1.99 I get it" for the volume of drink ... Id still buy.
Bruh I love the jazz playing while you sip on them fine grapes.
Where/how did you get that? I haven't seen it on the shelf anywhere in 5 or 6 years. What's the word? Thunderbird! How's it sold? Good and cold! What's the jive? 'Birds alive! What's the price? .30 twice!! Thunderbird was Gallo's companion product along with Ripple (carbonated, fortified wine) which was a favorite of Fred Sanford, and Night Train Express which was the "mean wine" consumed by Joliet Jake in The Blues Brothers. ps. love the term "fruit jerky".
He's now reviewed two of the five "bum wines" MD 20/20 and Thunderbird. Just Cisco, Wild Irish Rose, and Night Train to go!
Wild Irish Rose!
@@bossfan49 Yeah. I thought I had corrected this to include WIR, but that must have been another comment.
@@imaramblins Haha how about Ripple? - Fred Sanford's favorite!! =D
bossfan49 Fair enough, and I know there’s several others out there that fly under the radar. My main question is: Who the heck is still buying these? There’s no continued supply without demand.
@@imaramblins The only ones I see anymore are MD20/20, WIR, and Boone's Farm. I don't know where/how this guy got a bottle of T-Bird. I bought a bottle as a gag gift about 10 years ago and haven't seen it since. Possibly homeless people and high school/college kids are still buying it. Who knows.
Removes greases stains from your driveway and works well as an octane booster.
never forget the amazing thunderbird commercial, where the nicest thing james mason can say about it is "It has a unique taste"
"Farm animal in the background", lmao😂😂!!
PIZZA MIKE LOL
2:09 the best 2020 joke I've heard yet
Can I do you a favor and request a review of an ACTUAL wine? I mean, Everclear and Malört were hilarious, but how about we put your skills to use. How does El Gato Negro Cabernet sound? Similar price point to T-bird if we're going to be honest, but it's a legit Chilean red. God knows you've earned it. HNY
Ok side note....I actually like El gato. 😂😂😂
@@goldiefatale it's the best four bucks you can spend.
I'd love to see real wine reviews too but I think what makes this guy's videos so hilarious is the absolute abomination beverages he chooses to review. If he started reviewing actual (read: good) wine, he may lose his audience. There's entertainment value to reviewing Everclear as opposed to a Francois Raveneau Grand Cru Chablis.
@@CembaloMeister I think there's a place for both. Yes, it's more entertaining to see reviews of stuff that makes "low-end" seem fancy, bit also an opportunity for him to show off his actual sommelier skill in a more appropriate fashion wouldn't be terrible
@@chrismacku8471 Provided he is an actual sommelier, which given the way he evaluates everything, I highly doubt.
Man this is gold... thanks 😊
I love this sense of humor. You’re fantastic sir
I love how your facial expression didn't change when tasting it and remained concerned for the whole time
I've watched all of your videos tonight, all hilarious and insightful, but this is my favorite by far. Just absolute perfection!
I'd suggest Night Train Express (immortalised by Guns N' Roses), but I see that it comes from the same family as Thunderbird
Same family. Different yardbird. Similar yikes. Both are to be avoided with equal fuck no.
I second this. Do a review of Night Train.
Treat it like a varietal
@@MrSplic3r HA!!!
no idea how i got to this channel but you sir are a comedic genius! instantly subscribed and about to go through all of your videos
I just wanted to say that you deserve 100x the followers you have rn, your content is fantastic!!
Talking Thunderbird Blues - Townes Van Zandt 🤣
2:02 epic wording
Holy smokes! This is becoming my favorite channel!
What's the word? Thunderbird!
Where's it sold? On skid row!
makes me think of the 70's, i'm feeling the shag carpet between my toes.... or on my face! ...when i'm passed out. (we definitely know what face shag you meant here, sir UWG)
OMG. 1st evening with you, fella. Laughing, crying, sharing, laughing some more, subscribed. THANKS - just what i needed!
This UA-cam channel is such a beautiful gem can’t wait to watch it blow up
I wanted to see this cultured man slam that bottle
Holy cow man u gained 20,000 subs in like 3 days! Keep up the good work👍 love the channel!!
"This pandemic is awful, I think I'll start a youtube channel." This guy last March.
I actually don't often subscribe to channels. But this dude is worth it.
How about a review of Night Train or Ripple. That is if they still make them???
Or Wild Irish Rose
The taste of Thunderbird always reminds me of piss and the smell of my hand after lumping gas.
best video of the series to date.
Great review! This is the most accurate description of Thunderbird I've ever heard, and by association, my Freshman college year.
T Bird with 7 UP and a horse's neck in the glass and it's wonderful
6k subs in a month... still not what you deserve. Looking forward to watching this channel blow up!
Same, this guy is gold.
Great video. Subscribed.
I would serve this at my wedding.
“Yikes.” 😂😂😂
I use to drink it in the late 70s because at a party no one else would drink it so I had it all to myself. They changed the formulation in the mid 80s to a slightly sweeter taste but still 20% alcohol. The 70s version tasted like watered down vodka strained through dirty jock straps as I imagined it might be like. I think it was around 75 cents a bottle
Thank you, I have not laughed harder than I did at "...Pizza Mike" in a very very long time!
Like the old advertising slogan
Whats the word, Thunderbird! Whats the price fifty twice!
Wild Irish rose!!!
Merry Christmas
You are a true national treasure.
I want to know where he even found this. I thought they took this off the market with nigh train. It's been four years since I've seen night train on the shelves and I bought every bottle they had
Right? I bought a bottle as a gag gift about 10 years ago and haven't seen it since....and I can't even remember the last time I saw Night Train. I still see Wild Irish Rose most places.
I felt relieved each time you spat…
OMG I lost it at "a very dehydrated bird" and was gasping for air for the rest of the video. Very nearly died for real. Subbed.
_"Ah, Thunderbird. But it's good week though."_ ~Robin Williams - C. 1982~
They might be giants has a wonderful song to go with this "Drink"
As a teen in the '60s , we gave a local wino a bottle of t-bird or Ripple to buy us a fifth of Seagrams VO . He was like a pig in **** and jumped up as soon as he saw us pull in the liq. store lot . Happy days 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I fucking love this guy
I remember now why they called it Thunderbird
great video! I highly suggest andre cold duck
That is some crazy big wine glass damn
Y'know I'm glad there are some things I can't get in the UK.
We would get fubar drinking this and other stuff back in my high school days. My friends would call it thunder chicken. Lmao
got here quick as I could
Now I kinda want to see you review a really nice wine.
"What's the word? THUNDERBIRD!"
My grandfather mixed it with orange juice and called it a spicy meatball. 😆
Oddly enough most of the target audience for Thunderbird were also between employment opportunities. Not exactly sommeliers but they were experts at drinking as well.
Having mentioned Gallo Wines from the same district, I have to say I like what they produce. And I'm in Australia, from where the best wines flow.
Thunderbird: The Golden Shower of wine.
Time for some Night Train!
It surely pours well...
Just realized I have that exact shirt lmao, AE gang
Have you, or do you plan on reviewing Bay Bridge? They're actual varietals that Kroger has usually for $3, at least where I live. I'm a Kroger wine steward but too afraid to try them lol.
WHATS THE WORD?
THUNDERBIRD!
WHATS THE PRICE?
A DOLLAR THRICE! 😎👍
it was a popular table wine in the 1950's.
