So glad this series once again returns.

[@LauraSusanJohnson]

Basil says, "Pedi Poowaws suhhhhhhhhcks!" in a mysteriously acquired Brooklyn accent before fleeing upstairs and transforming back into the most British cat ever 😻

[@GothicKittyMadness]

Yep. As soon as I saw Basil I knew it was going terrify him. D: Dogs and Cats are not going like this. Basil's nails don't look like they need clipping anyway. Cats are usually good at self grooming and if you provide them with things for scratching then that helps keep their nails from getting too long. A lot of dogs I groom don't like clippers near there paws because they're very sensitive to the vibrations, clippers are the only tools to use for nails in my professional and honest opinion.

[@HFC786]

Consider a week on Indian food or Chinese takeaway! Ps maybe redo the week on cheese but cheese products like cheese pizza grilled cheese etc

[@Crazyredemu]

Weirdly enough, of all the pets I've owned and had to clip the nails of, the Fox was the easiest. Of course I didn't use a sander on her claws

[@doryna_sira]

Yeah, I got a similar device for my dog and she was not having any of it because of the noise and the way it felt, just like Basil. She is actually better with the clippers, since they don't make noise. Which is unfortunate, since I have damage to my thumb from a nerve injury, so I can't use the clippers. Luckily, between walking her every day and grooming every couple of months, her nails are well taken care of. There are actually vets and groomers who will clip their regular customers' pet nails for free or discount if the owners can't do it due to physical issues.

[@FirestoneX]

When he opened it, I immediately thought of a sonic screwdriver.

[@Mushroom67]

I bought something very similar for my dog. It did not end well.

[@Smaxx]

First: I'm surprised there isn't any "Put your weeny in it!" comment yet. Second: I'd never clip a cat's nails unless there are related health issues. That's how cats end up on top of trees that can't get down (and other issues).

[@PrettierNPastel]

An true OG series

[@GeekWithClipOns]

I think I saw this commercial years ago on tv. I recall thinking no way our dogs would cooperate!

[@PonyusTheWolfdude]

So we used to trim the claws of our last dog at the vet. Because that's where he could be sedated (OFC we also did it at home as well, but when he was knocked out, we took the chance to make it quicker and less stressful)

[@charisse234]

Hey Mike 👋 my dog would never ever sit still for me to do that so I would be way too nervous for sure! Positivity peace and love ❤

[@joshshepheard5897]

I'm so happy this is back holy crap

[@pssurvivor]

so it's just one of those rotating nail files? my pet groomer has one. also i think that's the fastest i have seen basil move ever!

[@probablyrajir638]

Yes, my favorite content from you!

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Its been hot minute

[@enragedlemon3115]

When I was young my parents had one of these and I would use it to grind peanuts into peanut butter

[@citizennancy]

Imagine what that will do to cheese.🧀

[@GothicKittyMadness]

FFS. as a dog groomer I can tell that dogs are going hate this a lot more than clippers. Clippers are fast and effective. Yes it's true that cutting the quick will hurt your dog and cause the nail to bleed but if people are not confident in cutting nails then the best option is to bring the dog to a grooming salon. We are trained in cutting nails properly so that it doesn't hurt the dog or cause damage to the nail. Any groomer would advise against using something like this.

[@samhenwood5746]

Poor basil 🐈‍⬛ & thanks Mike 🤗

[@TouchstonesRanna]

I was able to clip all of the claws of the family cats while I lived with my parents (with traditional cat claw clippers). I was fairly successful on clipping the nails of the cats they have now, save one, and I straight up told my parents to get that cat's claws done at the vet's, the cat freaked out that much. Just safer for my parents and the cat. We actually have the pedipaw for our dog. I will say that he tolerates it. Not a fan, but he knows what it is and what it is for and he will let us do his nails with it.

[@paulhall9811]

So it's a Pedi-File...

[@JR-kx3jr]

Yeah, but the joke doesn’t really work in the UK, because they say “paedo” instead of “pedo”.

[@anubislover8989]

As much as I'd love an easier way to clip my dog's nails...yeah I'm not subjecting her to that thing, and she's way more chill than Basil. I think I'd rather get that as a sander for small wooden crafts or something.

[@emmal7510]

Step one: find an animal that doesn't mind the vacuum cleaner.

[@PinieNox]

My like (and comment) is 100% just for Basil

[@itsaaron9090]

It looks like a cool sports car

[@Bessie66]

Please do some of the JML products - my mother gets taken in by them everytime and we end up sending them back as they are rubbish products!

[@emilyking9250]

Guys this isn't a miracle product, it is called a dremel and it's what most vets and groomers use already 😂

[@ASHERUISE]

But not most pet owners

[@dylaninpieces2]

Whoever came up with the PediPaws name is really PETTY about dogs.

[@AJ_1199]

Does it come with air fryer liners?

[@steveredman2439]

Do living off beer for a week.

[@dot2562]

Cats sheed their claws do they not?

[@bonafide9781]

I can't think of the infomercial, and by extension the product without thinking of this MadTV skit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aanPl5ZvltpjfLs

[@KingOfDoma]

... what is that grinning horror on the packaging of your batteries at 4:05? Is that the British version of the Energizer Bunny? Hey Duracell, put shades on your version so I can't see into its UNBLINKING BLACK EYES WHICH SEE INTO THE ABYSS

[@Crazyredemu]

HOLD UP! Why is there a pink bunny on your Duracell batteries!? Energizer is the pink bunny batteries, what weird crazy universe are you from!?

[@nyan0812nerd]

duracell has always had the pink bunny here (in the UK)

[@tyf.5111]

Duracell originated the pink bunny in the 70s and Energizer essentially stole it and trademarked it in the 80s. The companies eventually agreed that Energizer could have the pink bunny in the US and Canada and Duracell has it in the rest of the world.

[@Crazyredemu]

@@tyf.5111 madness! Hilarious legal madness

[@JacobEvans2]

He might actually get large viewing figures now he has moved away from stupid eating challenge

[@fuckoffyou]

With little modification and paint a great lightsaber!

[@MontyDotharl]

This is literally just a cheap dremel tool.

[@KyleRDent]

You're so innocent Mike, that your first thought was a light saber.

[@KIRA666790]

The line about Mike being bad at screwing while holding what is clearly a magic wand, was unintentionally hilarious.

[@doryna_sira]

I'm gonna be honest, my first thought was "That would make an excellent base for a custom cosplay lightsaber."

[@BowserTheSecond]

Glad to see Basil is doing well after all these years.

[@suppichan27]

2:00 Anyone who knows anything about dog body language will pick up that that poor dog is very very stressed out. A+ for Basil being as brave as he was.

[@Bear-lo4ms]

"And who takes their dog to the vets to have its claws clipped?" *cries in vet nurse* Oh Mike, if only you knew.

[@joncurtis199]

Yeah felt this was a bit ignorant from Mike tbh...

[@jessicadouglas4927]

But can it grate cheese?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@LUVBOTZ]

I like how Basil stopped to cuss you out before leaving. 😆

[@multitudeofidols]

The one time we're all fluent in cat.

[@fuckoffyou]

KEK

[@juanchoresultay2704]

Pls make more again we miss infomercialism !

[@justme002]

Just get a Dremel. Does the same but with more power, has more functions besides, and doesn't even cost that much more.

[@Ben42]

Yo Mike you're the best! So happy to see a big return to this series Wooo infomercialism

[@LeeMcilwaine]

Well I think we all won money on the "How Will Basil React" sweepstake

[@Mohegan13]

Proper clippers for pets do not cut blindly. Not sure what medieval torture devices they've been using.

[@MrGiles]

Isn't that pretty much the case for most Infomercialism-type products? There are usually many existing products that have likely been in use for years and are well-known to be good at the job, or even just common sense solutions with no special products needed, but those peddling these products pretend they don't exist so they can give an unrealistic scenario that their product is supposedly better than.

[@doslover]

Oh yeah, I'd nearly forgotten this was why I subscribed in the first place 😄 We had one of these for our dog and, well, his reaction was about the same as Basil's, not surprisingly. You're basically taking a sander to their nails. They don't love the clippers but at least it's quick and painless (if you do it right)

[@MacStyran]

Ah, the welcome return of Infomercialism... noice!

[@poorlilrichgirl3561]

My sister gave me this product after her dog refused it (but was very happy to have her claws clipped) so I tried it on all 3 of my dogs. All of them hated it too. I sent it to the charity shop 😂

[@LexiaVelez]

I was getting close to unfollowing you I don't like the week or month on things they ok once in a while but not all the bloody time. I miss these and the other movie reviews. Thank you for uploading this. Also, the product does work, you got to distrat them the first time, but over all they are ok, just don't spend 20$ on one when you can get them for less.

[@SigEpBlue]

That thing should've come with a coupon for tranquilizer darts.

[@LuminalSpoon]

I don't know why but 5:12 makes me laugh out loud.

[@wurst1284]

But does it work on cheese?

[@CanIswearinmyhandle]

Yeah we had a cat who's claw trimming took the whole family to get done and everyone was scared except the cat, he was pissed

[@Smaxx]

Oh, and btw. I think the overall concept and idea for this isn't that bad. I can see it kind of working (although this won't keep you from still removing too much of a nail by accident). There are machines like this that are more compact (one or two AA batteries) with finer drums made to remove excessive skin and filing nails and they work rather well. I'd rather get one of these than an oversized (and probably overpriced) pet version.

[@cartoonkelly7924]

I knew someone who took her dog to the vet for claw trimming because her the dog’s nails were black so she couldn’t see the quick through the nail. Even the vet would cut the quick and the nail would bleed.

[@cartoonkelly7924]

At least it’s not Pedo Paws. That’s a TOTALLY different product.

[@markiangooley]

Pedobear time!

[@Jussy833]

I really missed your classic product review, Mike!!❤I was looking forward to seeing Basil's nails trimmed with this thing.

[@Hammerhead547]

"that seems unfair to do that to the cat" He'll get his revenge when you're sleeping.

[@QuivaRPG]

This does actually work if you have the time and want to put in the effort to get your pet used to it. Which I'm absolutely sure they said nothing about in the instructions. No, that's not sarcasm. You're supposed to turn it on and then just leave it on the floor for them to sniff and get used to the noise. You keep doing that until they don't react. Then turn it on and place it against them, giving treats the whole time, until they don't react. THEN you try to use it on their nails. All of which I've found to be pointless because I've never known a pet to sit still for this unless the pet is all-around chill already.

[@burtbacarach5034]

Bought one of these to try on our dogs,they really REALLY didn't like the noise.Just be extremely dareful with the clippers,it'll be ok. BTW Mike,you're a braver man than me,trying that thing on Basil.Hopefully he won't shit in your shoes...

[@pegasos1986]

Seriously: If a dog has claws at the length they show in their CGI, they don't need to be cut. That is the length (and the shape) they are at when they are worn down naturally by walking / running over the right kind of surface. No need to bother the animal with this device. Only do that if the claws are overgrown.

[@Kyra_M]

Poor Basil XD I think only the chillest of cats won't mind this hellish device!

[@colorlesscanvas1151]

Mike: who takes their dog to the vet to get nails trimmed. Me because my dogs nails curled to much for me to get them

[@GreatSageSunWukong]

"my screwing skills have warn off"..........THATS WHAT HE SAID!

[@IronBahamut]

6:23 Basil turned round to tell you to eff off

[@PrettierNPastel]

This should have been infomercialism 2 so we could have a shameful sequel

[@randywatson8347]

I cannot bare to watch the cgi...

[@doranselwyn8608]

Chasing the cat around the house with that is amusing.

[@totallyaniceguy7695]

But can it grate cheese?

[@bizarroman69]

But, does it grate cheese?

[@kassemir]

I honestly didn't know cats needed to have their claws cut. Kind of just assumed that's what the scratching post was for, so it could wear them down by using them.

[@poeterritory]

No, that's what your furniture, carpet, and bedding are for.

[@chaoszonenate]

Always love the Basil tax. My dad and step mum have this thing and I don't think it gets much use tbh.

[@CalliopePony]

Yay, it's been a while since we've had an Infomercialism video.

[@thedrunkenelf]

I bought some pet nail scissors and can do my cat in about two minutes. Then again, I have a rag doll who is not that squirmy. But she would HATE this thing. She leaves the room if you get out foil. Her ears are way too sensitive for it.

[@roytherocketparsons9096]

6:13 no basil NO! Dont let them do that, they are trying to kill you!!

[@TheConcertCruizer]

Yay. Infomercialism.

[@shellbacksclub]

Doesn't spin fast enough.

[@Tillyard86]

I was wondering why they were calling them a veterinarian and not just a “vet”, but then I remembered “vet” means something quite different over there.

[@michellecoleman5577]

If your pet is biting you while you try to trim their nails and you're hitting the quick: you are unmistakeably the problem.

[@shellbacksclub]

No u grind away at the nerve!😉

[@plaguerat7634]

congratulations: you've purchased a dremel

[@kinagrill]

no wonder the humming vibrating machine would scare the crap out of an animal rather than just.... clipper that goes 'snip' and off the clawy bit goes.

[@felicityscarth3153]

Please keep going now you have restarted.....good fun, thank you!

[@robanah]

I bought one of these for the first cat I owned... I remember seeing this infomercial and wanted to get on right away..... and let's just say... I'd rather have my cats scratch the hell out of my furniture than use one of these again! Although, it did make a good mini sander!

[@BDF-]

O Christ!!! Looks like Basil isn't having any of that!!! 😲

[@meg..meg.]

I was about to buy one of these. Thank you for saving me the pain and expense of the pedi-paws.....I'm going to buy the peti-claws instead ;P

[@realong2506]

Yeah my dog freaks out when I use my Dremel on my acrylic nails there is no way me would ley me use Pedi Paws on his nails. Just a hint the best time to clip a cats claws is when they are asleep, I use nail clippers on my cats and it works every time. A few quick snips and done.

[@smittzero8463]

This seems more suitable for DIY than grooming pets. When I inevitably see one of these in a charity shop in six months' time, no rough wooden edge will be safe....

[@IIARROWS]

0:29 so it should be pawcure... (or to be completely coherent, pedicure... because the latin for foot and paw is the same word, pes/pedis).

[@MisWheezy]

My dog won’t have his nails clipped but I use a dremmel (similar to this) and it works really well 😂every pet is different I suppose 😂😂

[@nBasedAce]

We've heard Mike's opinions on his screwing skills but what does his partner have to say?

[@texaskc]

I can go top Petco and get my dogs clipped for $15 sooooo........

[@annalevermore7857]

Basil is clearly not impressed by the Pedi Paw. The noise probably put him off too! He definitely put up his paws in a definite no thanks!

[@twilightgeneral777]

My family had one of these a long time ago and our Cat absolutely hated it, so it basically got used once and then never again

[@markiangooley]

Haven’t seen battery operated gadgets that take C-cells recently…
