Lol we do have gardens but we do differentiate them from yards.

[@mmmapplesauce1673]

Lol no

[@thewiirocks]

FYI, I think you forgot the link to Dimension Drive.

[@Scallywag96]

@@thewiirocks I noticed that, I also didn't see a link to that Kickstarter movie mentioned in the Kobe jerky segment

[@dabradmp1]

I like that when youtuber tells us sut check the link in the description and they don't put it.....

[@Nipplator99999999999]

I have to tip my hat to the creator of Operation Flamingo it's achievement. All done without breaking his hand on the neighbor's face.

[@patrickblakethesaint]

Dimension Drive

[@jacksyoutubechannel4045]

i understand how the name "Ding Dong Ditch" fits the activity of ringing a doorbell and running away. I have no idea how "Knock Down Ginger" refers to the same activity, and I'm not sure I _want_ to know the etymology on that one.

[@jbzhummerh2gamer]

That last chick was a total bee-otch, and got what was coming to her when they guy she tried to shame actually got his dream to come true. Come to think of it, the same could be said about the 1st guy trying to shame the Target employee. You know, maybe if people didn't shame other people for doing their jobs, their own lives wouldn't be so bad.

[@paxhumana2015]

Maybe the shame other people because the lives of these genetic misfires that shame nice and normal people ARE bad, so they literally try to do things to make themselves feel good and other people miserable in their lives?

[@MegaRhettButler]

The idea of "beer fed cattle" really cracked me up. Did people even stop to think what that would mean?

[@RetroBytesUK]

Operation flamingo may be one of the finest FUs in the history of FUs.

[@paxhumana2015]

I actually lived near that town...it was a neighboring small city of the one that I lived in, which was Carlsbad, around 2010 or so, but I chose a poor time to move, despite needing to do so, for a variety of reasons, but a lot more other economic ones screwed up things even more.

[@GeneralKenobiSIYE]

Well, Target Tori is cute AF. The look on her face "I don't get paid enough for this bull shit... I am so done for today."

[@distractedFreek]

Great episode, props for Guru Larry's attempt at a Texan accent.

[@ari-dynamicarchive]

Imagine being an "award winning multimedia journalist" with all those credentials and not being able to afford the dentist. I work a worse job than he does and I'm able to go there with no problems, so what's his excuse?

[@frostare]

10:04 Listen, I know the story that this quote is actually referring to, but it's still funny it came AFTER the flamingo's story... quite a morbid campaign indeed. =D

[@SsnakeBite]

My previous complaint aside, this was a great video! Really don't know how the people trying to start a hate mob against service workers think it'll end well for them. And I appreciate that you gave Dimension Drive and Kickstarted a push.

[@jacksyoutubechannel4045]

Because a lot of times it does end well for them. Everyone loves a hate mob, as long as the right person is being hated.

[@maverickhuntersyd]

The first one was so wholesome.

[@StarDragonJP]

Well if you ever happen to be near New Braunfels Texas, there's this place there called The Rust Game Place that I got some good Jerky from. Dill Pickle Garlic Beef Jerky & Habanero Mango Chicken Jerky.

[@sos_legio_primus]

$50 seems to be a way too low a fine for someone causing Blight.

God, the fact that David uses the screenshot of Donald Trump blocking him is a dead giveaway of what kind of person he is.

[@Himmelschenk]

That sponsor bit felt sped up lmao

[@BixRibene]

The irony of opening this video with a scammy mobile game... hahaha!

[@stigrabbid589]

We americans also have Gardens. A garden here is an area filled with flowers, decorative plants or fruit/vegetable plants. A yard is just grass.

[@gracekim1998]

Yeah I thought so….😅 I apologise on behalf of my fellow British Neighbor

[@Nolascana]

I think the confusion lies in both regional variants, and that I've usually only heard Americans referring to their front gardens as yards. There's a whole other example in this video about Knock a door run/Ding dong ditch. Whatever he called it, I've never heard used before at all haha Born in NW England and now live in East Scotland so, don't know if that helps any haha

[@midimusicforever]

Haha that Karen at the end!

[@Kindlesmith70]

7:43 Oh that reminds me of us getting a council worker here reading our legal rights at the door, with us having no clue wtf was going on. A neighbor had called in some complaints, obvious had some pull, and dobbed us in concerning the extra room we built onto the house. This then extended to going over several other things with our property that wasn't causing any problems for anyone just to make sure we were 100% in regulations. I know that not everyone here is 100% regulations perfect, but geez someone seriously had it out for us. It's like living among a fictional mafia within the real world.

[@TheOGRetroRonin]

Eh Slope! Just a Canuck here, doubt you'll see this. But as a 9-5 single chap in his 40s I'm loving your channel for a few reasons: (30mins "vids" tend to keep my attention best, enough info to "know" but enough content to enjoy and move on.) There's a lot of content. You're not a 20 year old using Chat GPT to skip the entire video making process.....narration included. You look like you enjoy your craft (main reason) Just wanted to thank you for the videos, I have tough times after work finding things to watch to help keep my mind active (as someone battling anxiety a lot a idle mind can be disasterous) You help, keep me smiling, and steady. I hope one day you read this and understand how it doesn't seem like a lot...but it's huge.

[@KerzacTransformed]

The kobe beef jerky texts are insane lol

[@silvershocknicktail6638]

Hopefully this boosts Dimension Drive's profile. Right now it has only 30 reviews on Steam.

[@dannymac653]

Yeah, I'm shocked people wanted Kobe beef jerky. IDK what real Kobe beef jerky would look like, but I would fathom it doesn't look like the stock photos they used in that campaign.

[@StonerWaifu]

I'll never get tired of hearing you say "YARD"

[@silvershocknicktail6638]

"Now for something less morbid." .....Huh?

[@AnnaMorgause]

This is a compilation video. The Dimension Drive segment was originally in a different video after a segment very different from the flamingo one. Not very thoughtful editing left in that line.

[@silvershocknicktail6638]

@@AnnaMorgause Ah, thanks for the explanation :-)

[@yoda908]

Operation flamingo which I can't stop laughing everytime I hear it in my head now reminds me of a former neighbor who had for the longest time a 6 foot tall inflatable flamingo on their front lawn. The neighbor moved but now I know where they and another neighbor obviously moved to.

[@jarondenham2260]

I once heard David Levitt referred to as the "Spambot of Magic" and I think about that whenever his name comes up.

[@gettinoldgaming]

Love a good kickscammers episode

[@JBM113]

He really put the old FB Farmville song in the vid. Brilliant

[@chris_is_here_oh_no]

Excellent video, wonderful compilation of campaigns!

[@Jexxter1988]

I would have never expected in all my days to see you show a video from El Cajon. I happen to live pretty close to it.

[@Turniplord]

Is this yet another re-hash of things you've talked about before? I recognise a few of them.

[@liveyourdreammedia]

Nice day for a new Slope's

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I love it when those who performs their job get unexpected graces after receiving hate and humiliation from bad people

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

I just freaking love the flamingo garden. XD

[@nilus2k]

Beef Jerky is also usually made with cheap cuts because it’s turned into jerky. Why would someone turn a Kobe steak into jerky. That’s criminal. So glad it’s fake

[@littleblackcat2273]

Is Dimension Drive really "less morbid" than the flamingos?

[@htpkey]

I think that video was part of a different compilation on his channel, that's why the transition sounds out of place.

[@tafua_a]

@@htpkey The original's story was so morbid, I never watched that video after the first time. It was truly horrendous and I didn't want to hear it anymore.

[@SsnakeBite]

Dude, no offense but... Hero Wars? Really? The world's most infamous of scam games since Evony?

[@limeflashlight4101]

Yooo nice De Blob music! I think it's from the second one, right?

[@Somarinoa]

Oh man, that FarmVille music… How nostalgic!

[@XanthinZarda]

Speaking of crazy campaigns, we're still four years out on a certain console, and last news was that the HDMI mark was found to have expired in March 2022. Meaning, the idiot who paraded it around, showed his jacksie; in that said console doesn't actually bear valid marks.

[@johnaraya3761]

Oh yeah new episode thanks brother

[@annekeener4119]

The Kobe beef jerky was never going to work if you know how jerky is made. Kobe beef is well-regarded for how marbled with fat it is. However, one of the goals when you turn meat into jerky is to preserve the meat and fat is an enemy during the process as it can go rancid, spoiling the jerky. It’s beyond stupid to turn Kobe beef into jerky as it isn’t the sort of beef you turn into jerky. You want to start with lean cuts which are also generally cheaper. The campaign was designed to catch the attention of people who knew that Kobe beef was high-end and made succulent steaks. But steaks and jerky are different preparations.

[@fmsyntheses]

Why would you even feed cattle beer that's not even food

Hard to find beef jerky in the UK? We're not counting the little packets that just hang around tesco and whatever? 😂 here that schmup game looks amazing

[@gracekim1998]

I didn’t realise there was a American equivalent to knock knock ginger 😂 It’s a game where you knock on a door and run away

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Ding-dong Ditch makes more sense to me. It clearly explains exactly what you're doing and what you need to do. Unless "ginger" has a different meaning in Britian than what it does here in the U.S., lol.

[@fandangobrandango7864]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley I'm British and never heard of knock knock ginger (or the American equivalent). Where I am in UK it's called 'knock a door run'. Which makes more sense than both lol

@Gracekim24, and yet foreigners say that Americans are ironically the arrogant, narcissistic, elitist, prideful, ignorant, shallow, self-absorbed, and selfish ones in this world.

The Kobe Beef one makes me think of the Potato Salad kickstarter for some reason.

[@paxhumana2015]

@CutieinCosplay, you do live up to your username, beautiful, and I am sure that the people that were involved in those stories, as in the people that were in the right, will know that you have a kind heart in your life. I also do hope that you have a husband or boyfriend that loves what you do in your life. If I had a woman that lived near myself in real life, I would totally support her cosplaying skills if she was into being a cosplayer like yourself, but, unfortunately, I am horrible at making cosplay work, as I was never taught how to sew, knit, crochet, or to construct clothes at all, and, being as I have autistic spectrum disorder, and a lot of mental and developmental issues, I would not exactly be the best when it comes to making such things in my life, let alone making them for someone else.

[@cutieincosplay]

@@paxhumana2015 Thank you so much for such a kind reply! ❤️ That's so sweet, I always love to hear when people are excited to support someone else's interests! I hope that you find someone to support you in the same way! ☺️ And don't worry too much about not being good at something when you start out -- as long as you are having fun that's what matters most and if you do something long enough then you're bound to improve!

[@paxhumana2015]

13:33, hey, the Dimension Drive people need to also show the PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Steam, GOG, iOS, and Android people some love too, you know. More systems to port the game to means more money in their pockets, right?

[@paxhumana2015]

Also, I have a good idea for a side-scrolling shooter myself, and it combines several old-school, as well as new-school, side-scrolling shooter games together. Sadly, I suck at art, let alone programming, so no one will probably ever help me out with my ideas, and I am also too poor for Kickstarter, GoFundMe, or IndieGoGo.

[@nickstarlingch]

​@paxhumana2015 You don't need help from others, you just need to get good, and the whole purpose of crowdfunding is to help people who lack funds.
