I could have sworn this was satire, until I saw the guy's face.

Also, can someone please tell me what the gently caress the guy at 0:53 is trying to say? I listened to it three times and it doesn't make any sense. Maybe I'm not artsy enough.

Nobody who buys a watch in this day and age of smart phones buys it because they actually need a timepiece, they buy it because it's jewelry. The functionality is completely ornamental at best.

Sure, there's a clock on my phone, my laptop, my TV decoder, my stove and a lot of other places, but unless I'm sitting in view of any of the stationary clocks or am already using my phone or laptop it will always be faster to check the thing on my wrist than to fish my phone up from the pocket and pressing a button to activate the display. When I'm carrying stuff, when I'm walking somewhere, most of the time I'm outside, in the bath, swimming, biking, housekeeping, working out, anytime I would be wearing gloves, any work that isn't in front of a computer, generally any activity that doesn't involve looking at a screen that already has it.

Why wouldn't you if you just wanted to have a relaxing soak and already had one on? It's hardly like a watch that can handle water is expensive.

I doubt he's wearing a fancy rolex for that or whatever.

It's like a jacket for your legs that protects you trousers from the rain! Why hasn't anyone ever thought of that?! Or you know, they have, decades ago. And you can call them rain trousers with side zips like loving normal person.

Why it's in a can, actually, as it's also packed in a plastic bag? Seems super wasteful, but I guess "Boxwich" doesn't have the same ring to it, and McDonalds also does it.

In the pitch they say something about how they're designed to be tools. They burn for 3-4 hours ('just long enough to get the job done') then they can be thrown out. I don't think they're meant to be permanent design features of your rape cave.

$3 for the candle, $17 for the sticker that reassures you that it's totally hetero to obsess about your interior decorating.

I've gone for business a few times. After airfare, things are really cheap, especially for only 3 nights. My guess is less than $2000. Probably less if it's a cheap hotel.
