Strangulation Review Debunked

The creator demonstrated the guitar strap was safe, contradicting a dramatic one-star review.

12:33

[00:02] you don't have to. Some of these reviews are actually terrifying. Apparently, this toy guitar tried to strangle someone's daughter. Let's see how bad these instruments really are. This thing just says toilet electronic organ. Okay,

[00:17] this one star review says it doesn't turn off. There's an off and on spot for a switch, but they don't have a switch. Okay, we're in my bathroom. I'm gonna like so. >> Yeah. All right. So, you know, you're

[00:32] doing your business here. And you just wanna [Music] cuz you know you're pooping. You know, you're just taking a dump. And well, as of right now, I'm going to rate

[00:47] this with a one and a half star. This thing is really pointless and it's not used it how I'm really supposed to. though. I'll get back to you with a though. I'll get back to you with a better rating in just a sec.

[00:59] There are way worse ones coming later in the video. >> Ew, this is like a really creepy automatone. Betty says, "Finger is bleeding. Battery cover is sharp. Be careful. This is unacceptable. I'm

[01:14] considering suing." Okay, Betty. I do not want my fingers to bleed. Okay, we just put the batteries in. No problems. I have all my fingers still intact. this like a normal automatone and see what happens.

[01:30] real automatone, you can use the whole stem, but up here, I'm pressing it. It's doesn't even open when I squish its cheeks. Watch how many notes you can play on this one versus the real automatone.

[01:53] you can play with it. I kind of like the tail. That being said, I'm going to give really not that fun to play. You can't really play any songs on this. Oh, I've been excited for these. These are electronic piano gloves. Okay, Mike's

[02:08] one-star review says, "So ugly." I won't lie, the piano notes do kind of work, but these gloves are so ugly, I would never wear them in public. I don't think Okay, gloves are on. Let's go ahead and Wo, they're slippery.

[02:26] [Applause] [Music] [Music]

[02:40] Oh, well, I thought it was Huh. >> I don't know why it doesn't finish off the scale. I thought it should go D, but it doesn't. Let's try to play a but it doesn't. Let's try to play a song, shall we?

[03:02] planned. Like I said, we only have five notes on this hand. They're just higher. But I don't think they're bad. I'm gonna give this three and a half stars.

[03:16] This is the digital drum. It says, "High quality drum samples. A real beat feel, >> huh? It sounds kind of weird, but hey, if I end up looking like this guy, I'm all in." Okay. Caprice's onestar review says, "Danger Electric Shock. I picked

[03:30] up the pad from underneath the black battery part and got a small shock. I'm my daughter." Okay, well, let's see if this thing actually gives me an electric shock. I'm kind of scared. I've been shocked before. Oh, fudge, dude. Oh, it

[03:44] burned me. Okay. Oh, I'm joking. I'm joking. It didn't shock me. You got joking. It didn't shock me. You got scared. Let's turn it on.

[03:56] demo. I wish I could play that. I'm so bad at drums. Okay, stop. You're putting me to shame. I don't like this thing. Okay, I'm gonna try to do the thing that the review said

[04:10] to try and get the drum to shock me. didn't shock me. Okay, stop. Let's try that again. Okay, stop. Let's try that again. It's not shocking me.

[04:26] beat is. It's also shocking me how many people half of you haven't subscribed to my channel yet, and I'd really appreciate channel and hit that like button. Okay. Well, if I were to review this drum pad,

[04:40] I'd give it two stars. I honestly don't like it. I'd rather play some drums like on my phone or something. I'm done with this one. Oh, this is the 6ft piano mat.

[04:52] I'm actually really excited to try this, but unfortunately, this says one star but unfortunately, this says one star from Harry Swnnuts. And uh he said just Cheaply made. Well, hairy swalnuts, we're going to have to test your review.

[05:06] I've actually been saving a ton of money buying these instruments using Coopert. that's designed to save you money while shopping online. When I was buying the Giant Piano Mat, Coopert automatically searched all the coupons online and

[05:20] looked at other websites to find me the best price. See, look. It shows you a list and compares with other stores and their prices. Coupert's automatic coupon million retailers. That's a lot of retailers. Okay, here. Let's use Coopert

[05:33] and see how much we can save on a potty piano. Okay, let's use Coopert's price comparison. Aha. At this website, we can actually get the potty piano for $16 that's that's a deal. Oh, yeah. And if you scroll down, you can see that

[05:48] which one is the best deal. It even shows that it worked for somebody 2 hours ago. Coopert also gave me cash back when buying these instruments, so I basically got free money to buy even more instruments. Smarter shoppers use

[06:01] in the description of the video and start saving today. Thank you so much to video. Okay, back to the piano mat. Okay, we are now on the floor with the giant piano mat. Okay, well, let's try

[06:15] this, shall we? It works. Oh, dude, that kind of sounded good. Dude, these sounds sound really good.

[06:32] Oh, the black keys work. Okay. Well, I say it's time to uh actually get on this say it's time to uh actually get on this thing. Try it out.

[06:46] right here, but I'm going to try to play chopsticks. This is going to take so much skill. [Music] Hey, that wasn't bad. [Music]

[07:02] >> They ask you how you are. You just have to say that you're fine when you're not to say that you're fine when you're not really fine.

[07:20] You know what? I'm really impressed so far. Like, this is great. And if you had two people, y'all could have a lot of fun on this. What?

[07:34] This is not trash. This is so fun. I'm giving this a four and a half star rating. I like this one. Okay, this is the Melody DJ keyboard. Okay, this is the Melody DJ keyboard. The box says 36 million plus. 36 million

[07:48] plus what? Andrew's onestar review says, "Giant waste. The mic stand broke off after about 20 minutes, then went in the trash. Don't waste your money. Do not recommend. Very cheap. Okay, so I'm not really sure what this even is. I'm

[08:00] seeing a keyboard. I'm seeing like a DJ record thing. And we got a microphone. Let's go ahead and try out the piano function. This thing kind of sounds good. Not

[08:12] going to lie. [Music] Dang, dude. The speaker kind of sounds good on this. You can play chords. [Music]

[08:24] so far. Oh, you got some rhythm.

[08:41] You just can like spam like one key and it'll just play a song. Okay, before I give a review, we got to try all the functions. We got this

[08:55] a guitar. I thought this was going to be like a needle on a record player. No, we have to try the record spinning. Oh, like pooped. Okay, well, we have to try this microphone out. Hello. Oh, check.

[09:16] feedback? Hello. Oh, this was a good time. Honestly, I this would never get boring. The mic still works. It hasn't broken yet. I'm going to give this DJ piano four stars. Unlike Andrew, I will not be throwing

[09:30] Unlike Andrew, I will not be throwing this in the trash. Uh, I don't think that's an instrument, bro. What is this electronic musical instrument? It says this this is an instrument. This does not look like a

[09:42] musical instrument. Okay, so Jan's onestar review says, "I got a lemon." Well, I didn't get a lemon, luckily. Um, I I could see maybe how somebody would mistake one of these for a lemon and then put the lemon in the box and

[09:55] somebody has a lemon, but I still don't know what this is or what it does. Uh, it has a hole on the bottom and it's just made of like rubber silicone and it on. Oh, maybe we have to hold it.

[10:14] this thing isn't making a sound or vibrating or anything. This is useless. Okay, so we realized what the person meant by a lemon. A lemon product is a thing that proves to be defective, imperfect, or unsatisfactory. A dud. We

[10:28] got a lemon. I'm going to have to agree with Jan on this one. This is one star. This is a farmer's musical piano. Looks like we're going to farm landing today. We're playing with some farm piano. Amy's review says, "Dangerous. A chicken

[10:43] just shot out of the top of my child's piano. getting a refund right now. Chicken. Oh, there are a lot of chickens on here. What does this even do? We're about to find out. Okay, my cameraman Jameson, he is preparing for impact. I

[10:55] hope these don't actually shoot. Let's press a key. press a key. Why? Huh? Why'd it do that? Oh, hey. Why? Huh? Why'd it do that? Oh, hey. Oh, it's stuck. Is it going to shoot?

[11:10] Oh, okay. Wait, why isn't this playing piano sounds? What was that? A Mario leveling up sound. Can I play the piano? Piano? Can I play the piano, please? >> Bro, can you not actually play the piano

[11:24] on this? I don't think you can actually play songs on your own. This sucks. Bro, no. I want to play piano. Hey, bro. Stop the music. Hey, that worked. The stop button. Stop.

[11:39] You can play chords. [Music] [Music] Why is it playing that note?

[11:53] [Music] >> Huh? >> Oh, [Music]

[12:05] that's a little creepy. [Music] is so fun. You can play along with preset songs. You can make silly sounds.

[12:20] And this thing has a turbo air blower that shoots Twee Birds up. I'm going to have to give this a four and a half star. I love that you can use all the notes. There's so much in this little thing. This is great.

[12:33] This is the woofer guitar. This little dog guitar probably has the most terrifying review we've seen yet. This one-star review comes from concerned parent. It says, "Daughter almost strangled by this toy. We have owned

[12:46] this toy for 2 years and our children have enjoyed it. However, the neck strap playing with it yesterday and twisted the guitar too many times. By the time I saw her, her entire face was dark red and she was terrified. Oh my gosh,

[13:00] how the neck strap is too short. Uh, what is that? That looks like a little bit of dookie. Okay, so I think this turns it on. There we go. Okay, I want turns it on. There we go. Okay, I want to see how this actually works.

[13:15] chords. Okay, so we're on acoustic. There's a little bone here. [Music] Okay, so it plays a nice little tune. We can strum. [Music]

[13:29] Fun. Great. So, I guess you have the different chords here. You have C, B, A, different chords here. You have C, B, A, G, F, E, D, C. Sounds like they're actually playing the chords. What does this do?

[13:51] [Music] >> Huh? attacked. Roar. Okay, but moment of truth. Let's see if this neck strap is too small. and let's see if it tries to strangle me.

[14:09] look at it. If I can wear this, I think a toddler should be fine. If you're that concerned, just take the strap off. My review for this guitar has got to be get that this is for like a toddler. Okay, no, it's too small. Okay, a lot of

[14:24] don't know if it was a bunch of Karens or what, but I had a good time with a for staying till the end of the video. Don't forget to like and subscribe. And if YouTube's algorithm actually works, you're going to love this video. Next,
