    For the record “cold” is definitely not the leading cause of death by just about any metric. Its either heart disease or cardiovascular disease for sure.

    How do they not have a clue how an old fashioned can opener works? Too young to have ever owned one, but saw it in use in cartoons and tv shows enough to know how it works. I cringed when he was turning the tool sideways

  10. smartpig555119

    Is there anything more damning for a survival tool like the paracord bracelet than McGruber himself expressing confusion as to its abilities

    I got a Wallet Ninja years ago as a gift, I’ve literally only for used it once or twice as a bottle opener. It main job is making my wallet feel heavier and more substantial lol.

    Bring back ‘Last man on Earth’ it was the funniest show

    I want to know if the compass needles were pointing different directions or the dials just needed to be turned to match the needles. I’m not sure if they know how to use a compass.

    • Nardalis

      January 29, 2022 at 12:52 pm

      I think he was perhaps more afraid of accidentally breaking the card because you kinda need the right force and the right position for it. The card maybe don’t hold up that well to it

  65. •BFM Productions•

    January 25, 2022 at 10:22 am

    No point if they don’t know how to use the tools. Don’t use tools next time to review it.

    January 31, 2022 at 2:33 am

    So, I’m brushing my teeth and half paying attention to the video, when all of a sudden I hear, “Ryan Robinson left a comment” and I literally spit out my toothpaste all over my mirror and my heart is racing that my name just came out of Will Forte’s mouth. Sadly, it was Ryan Robinson NOT Robison and I never purchased this item, but it was still a nice little cool panic attack there for 3.5 seconds. Lol Also sadly, it took 3 minutes to clean my mirrors to get off all the spit and toothpaste. Lol 😂

    I do outreach with the homeless and use the gloves for when I’m out during daylight savings and it’s dark at 5. Got em for $10 at Lowe’s. It’s less aggressive than when I used to wear a headlamp. Thumbs up for sure.
