    Thanks for watching everyone! What was your favourite? For me, it has to be the surface fail.

    The iPhone 4, iPhone X and Cybertruck demo fails were the best ones 😂

    That energy drink one just had to be the most cringe I’ve seen in a long time, the surface tab one was great!! Hearing the sound of failed attempts and the demonstrator just ignoring it 😂😂

    Jide, great video, I loved the premise – just personally I feel the faux humour in the script is a bit much and messes with the flow a bit too much – but you did great even with the script you got given! Could be just me though – I enjoy the pace of Ayaz’s videos but less so Patrick’s which I also feel is a bit too heavy on the comedy. Either way great vid, hope to see you in more CNET vids 😄

    • jide124

      September 26, 2020 at 3:49 pm

      Appreciate the feedback. I just felt a subject like this would benefit with a comedy heavy script. Can’t be everyone’s cup of tea!

    September 26, 2020 at 3:32 pm

    What about the FF91 demo?

    the cybertruck isn’t a fail.

    • jide124

      Then what is it?

  14. Amir Moradi

    September 26, 2020 at 5:06 pm

    You missed out on the Nintendo Wii remote not working in a Zelda Skyward Sword demo on stage. That one was great.

    TESLA: There’s only a 5 year world supply for lithium batteries (and Tesla is using up too much of that for the few , compared to how little
    a smartphone uses for everyone). Current electrical infrastructure can’t supply the electricity to all homes. Powerlines
    contribute to forest fires. Lithium batteries are mined by African children. Lithium batteries create toxic disposal wastes.

    There needs to be a law that prioritizes lithium for smartphones over electric cars because cars have petroleum and hydrogen alternatives.

    Providing more lithium batteries for EV cars is just opening a can of worms because the electrical grid cannot support every house. Not everyone can or wants to incur the cost of solar panels (which from my friend’s experience only lasted 7-10 years)
    I have 4 cars, 2 cars (kids’ cars) are parked outside.

    A battery manufacturer should sell to the highest payer. Ford, GM, and VW have deep pockets and they can pay more for the batteries and put Tesla out of business.

    An electric truck makes no sense because tests have shown that the battery drains faster when it has to pull. Hydrogen vehicles make more sense in trucks than EV. Hydrogen vehicles fuel up in 5 minutes like gas cars and they have a 1000mpg range; EV you have to wait 45+ minutes (and you have to wait for the guy in front of you to finish his charging)

    THere isn’t a plugin at every corner like a a gas station and the charge is 50 minutes+ (assuming you aren’t waiting for the guy before you to finish his charging)

    Gas stations pay tax to maintain roads, EVs don’t

    That would cause a lot of unemployment.

    These were all brilliant!! Especially the Microsoft one with the blue screen of death 😂😂😂. Oh, also, watching Michael Bay was just hilarious!!!!! The auto-cue goes off and he cannot even improvise for a bit. No wonder his films have all the intelligence and intellect of a brick. What a fool 😂😂😂😂😂

    Good video. Man, some of these take me back. Do you remember Samsung’s disastrous Broadway S4 Unpacked event? Poor Microsoft too as it looks like the Surface Duo’s on track to be yet another disaster. 😁

    Please watch E3 from 2010!! The most epic fails from one E3 conference.

    Samsung was the best 🤣

    I dunno what was more cringe, the last video with the energy drinks or this cnet video.

    • jide124

      September 27, 2020 at 9:08 am

      Probably 50/50 at this point huh?

    Larry Ellison had many demo failures which we hid by having several backup systems being run simultaneously that could be displayed as he lip-synced the keyboard. Unlike the Samsung exec, he practiced his speeches to a point he didn’t need a teleprompter.

  30. VenoStuff

    September 27, 2020 at 6:37 am

    The surface demo was so awkward 😅

  31. Boko Gigani

    Oh, that’s really funny 🤣

  32. Jonathan White

    After watching this, who wants to buy a Microsoft powered self driving car?

    Surface fail is my favorite
    I felt bad for him when he was hiding the surface screen 😭

  35. Fernando Garza

    September 28, 2020 at 3:15 am

    I think you try to hard to be funny, because obviously you are not funny at all.

    • jide124

      September 28, 2020 at 7:59 am

      I think you try hard to be mean because obviously you didn’t get enough hugs 🤗

    While not being fails by any stretch of the imagination, I find Samsung events to be very cringe worthy. They would release some incredible tech and the offering is very compelling, however, often the Unpacked event makes me want the product less than if I just saw the ad and the reviews. The interactions are just so awkward!
