Ryan: I have curated a list of the top 100 scammiest ads I have been served over the past 6 months, and I bought them all.

But I did it to answer the age old question: What if it's not a scam, and it changes my life forever? This is what everyone says right before they get scammed.

We've got a watch. You guys are about to see the most epic ad you've ever seen.

Man in sunglasses: My favorite Carbinox watch is the new X Ranger.

Let's take a look and see how tough it is!

It is able to withstand up to 10,000 lbs of weight.

Ryan: He's making his words longer on purpose to sound cooler.

It's working. I kind of love this guy.

I kind of...I kind of really like that ad.

Let's test it! If I can break this thing, I'm not sure I can look that guy in the eyes anymore. Or the oakleys.

Goodness! It didn't look like this in the ad.

This was $80.

Form factor: fire.

Never felt this masculine before.

Honestly. Um...

Alright, let's try to break it!

0 stars, bro.

Come on! Next up: we've got a soda humidifier.

Guy 1: TikTok made me buy it.

Make your whole room smell like Fanta!

Guy 1: Yummy! Ryan: So I'm gonna spend $15 to make my room smell like Mountain Dew Code Red.

I...and I don't even get to drink it.

Wait, this comment has a point. Wouldn't it make your room sticky?

Every surface in your room covered in Fanta?

I don't know about that. Let's test it out!

Bright your life like a diamond, baby!

That'll wake you up in the morning.

Pretty straightforward design, it seems like. It smells good.

Okay, here goes nothing.

I'm so nervous.

I don't like that.

Come on! Come on!

You see anything? 2 stars.

It didn't work. Next up: we got flexiwebs, webbed fingers. So I can barely swim.

I don't know what it is. I never really learned.

Like, I literally almost died a couple years ago.

Oh, God! I'm not gonna talk about it, but it happened.

Girl 1: Here's why flexiwebs are better.

Webs-on. Ryan: Webs-on? Okay.

Girl 1: Webs-off. Ryan: I love the cursing emoji.

Ugh! Me when I don't have on my flexiwebs.

Luffytaro put it perfectly.

"Fishman". That's who you are with these on.

Okay, let's try these out! Let's see if these extend my life expectancy!

I'm gonna swim across this pool and back.

We're gonna time it, and then I'm gonna use the webs, the web slingers or whatever.

I can barely swim, as is.

I'm the best case study for this product.

Start the clock! Attempt 1.

No webfingers. 2:46.

Dude, it takes so long to put on.

I feel so lame. I hopped in the pool, feeling really confident, actually. Kind of embarrassing.

I'm still not good at swimming, but my final time: 2:17. 29 seconds faster with flexiwebs.

4 stars. Next up: we've got this lunchbox that heats up food by itself.

Woman 1: My wife's boyfriend bought me this.

Ryan: Wait, my wife's boyfriend?

This feels like the type of purchase you make when your marriage is not going well.

Woman 1: So cool. It's a lunchbox that microwaves your food.

It also comes with a car plug, so I can hide on my lunch break.

Ryan: I love how you just have to put the food straight up into this thing.

Those mashed potatoes are chemically fused at this point.

This is the last place I ever expected to cook a hash brown.

But here we are. We are living in the future.

Car charger...ah! Going in.

Timelapse. Let's see if there's a hot hashbrown in here!

Still looks...uh...

I don't think it worked.

2 stars. I had fun.

Next up: we have an auto door closer.

Dude, this has 7 likes.

How did I get served this ad?

This again feels targeted.

I don't know why. My door is open.

Look at that! I need it.

Girl 2: My mom... Ryan: His socks...his socks are just... Girl 2: Is always leaving my door open.

It's so annoying.

So I bought this automatic door closer.

Ryan: Is that scotch tape?

Girl 2: It works great.

Ryan: Let's see if I can even figure this out!

Alright. Let's see if this works!

Yo, dude! I'm sick and tired of you leaving this door open.

You need to figure that out of your...

5 stars. My mind is blown.

Next up: we've got a loop machine.

Not exactly sure what that means.

Ryan: $16.99. Girl 3: Turning it up to max speed.

I'm actually really scared.

Wait! It actually feels amazing.

Ryan: I'm with Tony. What is this...what is this for?

Yeah, I have no clue.

Mhm...4 stars.

Next up: we've got a pot that cooks with no stovetop.

Girl 4: Burgers and fries in my dorm.

You don't even have to leave your bed.

Ryan: I mean, do I even want this in my life?

Do I want 450 degrees of canola oil, deep frying frozen potatoes on my comforter at 3 a.m.? That's what I'm asking myself.

There's literally just liquid beef on...on their bed now. This comment. I feel like there have to be more pressing questions.

"What seasonings do you use for your fries?" Let's test this at 3 a.m.!

100

Okay, guys. It does smell like something is burning.

101

I'm gonna throw some fries in here.

102

Haley: What are you doing? Ryan: Oh, sorry!

103

Smells good.

104

Y'all. I'ma eat this whole pot, while I watch a MrBeast video.

105

5 stars. This just saved my marriage.

106

Next up: we've got a peeler for $15.99.

107

Let's check it out! This feels like one of those items you buy from a garage sale that stops working after 5 minutes. If that.

108

I mean, it looks awesome, if it works. Look how overwhelmingly positive the comment section is! "So useful." "Oh, man, this is awesome." "Nice. I want this. Watermelon fail. I want one. Don't cut skin off Apple!" "Very convenient." I feel like these can't be real comments. Like why is...

109

Why is everyone using the same emoji?

110

Let's test it out! Peeler, I mean, it's super cute.

111

Oh, my gosh! Yeah!

112

Oh, my gosh!

113

I hate the skin.

114

3 stars. Next up: phonebrella.

115

Woman 2: The best phone accessory that just slaps. Beyond useful.

116

I can't wait to get this bad boy to the beach.

117

Ryan: This one's actually super cute.

118

I mean, it looks like a massive waste of money, but super cute.

119

I guess this would help you if it's raining, and you need to look up a place on your phone to buy a bigger umbrella.

120

This one definitely takes the cake for the cutest scam.

121

It's a little weird. You got to put it between the pig's butt cheeks, but...that's normal. Yeah. What's up? How's it going?

122

No. Yeah. My phone been dry lately.

123

Finally an explanation.

124

Hey, what are you up to?

125

Ryan's dad: Oh, not much. Waiting for some guys to drop some plywood off.

126

Ryan: Nice.

127

Ryan's dad: That's...all I see is, like, some...like, pattern print.

128

Ryan: Oh, that's my phonebrella.

129

Are you proud of me?

130

3 stars. Halftime break.

131

I am gonna shake things up real quick.

132

So our next product is from an actual goods store.

133

The Shop app, our sponsor.

134

And I'm gonna have Spock test it out, while I tell you more.

135

Spock, you want a present?

136

Is that from the Shop app?

137

Oh! Go get him!

138

Alright. The Shop app is my favorite way to shop on my phone.

139

It's a shopping and package tracking app that has all of your favorite brands, like Feastables and Howdy. I just winked, but you didn't see it.

140

They just launched a new in-app currency, called Shop Cash.

141

You get 1% back everytime you use Shop Pay.

142

Not just that, but you can boost your Shop Cash on all kinds of special offers in the app. Maybe some businesses trying to get discovered, and they say: "Hey! You got $5 Shop Cash? How about 30?

143

That's a good incentive. But this might be the craziest thing I've ever said.

144

I have partnered with Shop to give away $100,000 in Shop Cash to get you started.

145

"No way, Ryan! That's insane.

146

Ryan, how did you get permission to give away that much money?" Go to shop.cash/ryan! Link in description.

147

Get the app! There has never been a better sponsorship on my channel to take advantage of. This is crazy. 5 stars. Spock approved.

148

We're back to the scam ads.

149

This one is not looking promising.

150

In fact, it's looking like a threat.

151

Woman 3: TikTok made me buy it.

152

Ryan: Putting "TikTok made me buy it" as the only additional information on this product is crazy. Is there not a safety warning?

153

This object looks like its primary purpose is to inflict damage.

154

With that being said, let's try it out!

155

If I don't make it, just give my channel to Mr.

156

Beast! 3, 2, 1. Ah! 1 star. SMH.

157

Next up: steal soap.

158

I mean: Is it even soap?

159

Man: Your soap versus our soap.

160

Ryan: When I was little, I used to try to eat bars of soap.

161

I thought they had a chance of tasting like bubblegum.

162

This product looks like Geodude just took a...shoe seal.

163

Next product.

164

Girl 5: My mom told me that my product was a waste of time.

165

She was right.

166

Ryan: Wait! This is kind of sick.

167

That looked like stop motion.

168

I mean, I'm known for tracking in some nasty stuff into the house, so...I could be down for this. I could...I could possibly actually use this.

169

Dude, I...Ugh, I wanna come inside, but my shoes are all muddy.

170

I feel like I'm about to get sucked into a portal.

171

These are definitely not an excuse to dance.

172

However, that...whatever that was.

173

I like them. They're kind of like a really big...socket fan for $79.99.

174

Okay, now I'm intrigued.

175

Woman in glasses: This is the socket fan.

176

It screws into any normal socket.

177

Ryan: My initial thought is: Where do I have a spare light bulb socket, that makes sense for this? Woman in glasses: I was blown away by the quality of this socket fan. Ryan: Wait! Could you put 3 of these in a fan?

178

Like, just a normal fan with 3 light bulb sockets?

179

That's a hazard at best.

180

"In most cases, it will destroy the socket you put it in." Tell them how it is, Crossed-Eagle-Feathers!

181

That's...I don't know why that is true, but I believe him.

182

Spock, you might wanna leave the room.

183

I'm serious. Alright.

184

Here goes nothing.

185

How do you turn the fan on? I can't figure out how to make it actually turn.

186

Pretty sick. I keep getting ripped off.

187

1 star. The gripper.

188

Man 3: I always wanted my arms to look like this.

189

Ryan: I don't actually think I've ever wanted my arm to look like that. Man 3: So I bought a gripper. Results, Day 1. Results, Day 5. Making some progress. Ryan: There's gotta be a more functional way to do this.

190

Me looking at my arms right now. I'm like: "Wait!". Let's see if this works!

191

The gripper comes in the exact packaging you would expect it to.

192

I don't know how there's possibly different weights on there.

193

I'm never gonna hear the end of this from Haley. The gripper...

194

Yeah, this one's pretty dumb.

195

Call this one an L! 2 stars.

196

Next up: we got therafreezy, dude. Craziest name for a product I've ever seen.

197

Woman 4: What is it?

198

Ryan: I thought these were really small shorts at first.

199

Guy 2: It's a migraine relief cap that melts away your headaches within minutes.

200

Ryan: Migraine gone in minutes?

201

If this works, I'm on board.

202

I've looked stupider than this on my own, so...

203

Okay, guys. I have a really bad migraine.

204

Probably from the bat cracker.

205

Let's see if this works!

206

Ah! I feel worse.

207

1 star. Well, guys, there you have it.

208

I just spent $800 in my weekend to look like a freak.

209

Did I get ripped off?

210

Or did my life just change forever?

211

No, I definitely got ripped off.

212

Thanks for watching!

213

Hope you guys are having a great summer.

214

I'll see you on July 1st, with nothing but a penny...

215

and a dream.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
