Thanks for a new video

[@isrume8597]

Waiting for the ultimate crossover episode where you find a new- never used kid cuisine at the thrift store

[@HamburgerAmy]

i hope LA BEAST is there to help ian finish to the end

[@D44RK_Iced_Yogs]

I love the idea of a used kid cuisine way more than a never used cuisine. Someone brings it in for lunch but doesn’t finish it, then the cashier says “we can sell that!” without elaborating.

[@lavenderdame8711]

Personally I'm hoping for a repackaged kids cuisine

[@Drew_42]

Nobody has ever seen Chef Ian Brutalfoods and Ian in the same room

[@fiveletters]

the LGR / MRESteve crossover I didn't know I needed. and now my heart lusts for it.

[@joshualevine8345]

I swear, I'd watch this man do his taxes and never be bored.

[@StarrNOM]

Obsessed with how neat your Goodwill is. It actually looks like a retail store instead of aisles and aisles of clothes with random assortments of items in baskets on the top of the racks.

[@sdivine13]

I dont like it, it doesnt feeeeeeel like a goodwill

[@Pipkiablo]

Ours literally looks like a cross between grandma's closet and a garage sale. There's literally nothing there but garbage, and maybe if you're lucky you'll find a really creepy doll that someone hand customized. At least I was able to find a discount copy of The Dark Crystal last time I was there, but that was the best thing I got there.

[@GippyHappy]

It just isn't a goodwill experience if most of the products aren't broken and scattered about the floor

[@CowboyLuigi]

Mine looks like it was stuck in the 80s: Clean, but you can tell the interior architecture might be stuck in the 80s

[@MrSkerpentine]

Dang is it “KZbinr I like randomly releases a thrifting video that instantly gives me an insatiable urge to spend an entire day going to Goodwills even though I always have bad luck finding anything” o’clock already?

[@MrSkerpentine]

Seriously though why do KZbinrs always have big Goodwills with lots of interesting stuff nearby and yet over here in Oklahoma it’s just seven copies of Kinect Adventures and MAYBE a VHS tape or two if you’re lucky

[@prehistoricturtlesaurus5309]

Try living in small town in Northern British Columbia. Entire bookshelves of bibles and vhs copies of Jurrassic park...

[@ZefTillDeath8878]

That was so with the vibe of this channel that I read it in Ian's voice. Good job, you could be a backup Ian.

[@patricksnoring4739]

I’m really surprised that this is the first time Ian has done a thrifting video, seems very on brand

[@JustTheWarning]

@@patricksnoring4739 it is...?

[@SkorgeSlaps]

This video is the perfect place to brag about finding a $150 gaming/computer chair for $30 at my local Goodwill and it was barely used. I can only assume someone died in it, but you know... their loss...

[@brutalmoose]

hopefully gamer ghosts are really chill

[@gooblop]

[@YourDadsOnlyFan]

They'll be pretty pissed when they respawn and their chair's gone.

[@Colorfultography]

Maybe they just shit themselves in it and couldn’t keep it as it would be a grim reminder of their shame

[@beerdrinker_6930]

This comment section is the perfect place to brag about the cute little mini CRT television I just bought! I already have a couple of the big ones, and I'd been kinda-sorta hoping to find a small one, although I hadn't put much thought into it. I got it for $18 and I could probably sell it for at least $50 if I wanted to, the smaller CRTs are actually much more sought after than the larger ones. Retro gamers like to use them, I think they prefer the smaller ones because they're so much more portable. Mildly interesting fact: a 24 inch CRT is about 4 times heavier than a 12 inch CRT, because of math and physics or something. CRTs are vacuum sealed so they actually have a massive suction force on the inside, and the glass screens need to be thick enough to withstand that force. And because the screen is square-ish, that means that a screen "twice the size" actually has four times as much surface area. That's why CRTs are so damn heavy, and why you never see a CRT larger than 34 inches or something like that. Cheers :)

[@coveredinfleas9714]

OMG The Castle! It's an Australian cult classic. Absolute gem hope you enjoy it!

Yeah when I saw the castle I was like no way, anyway I hope that ones going straight to the pool room just imagine the serenity.

[@curseyoujordanshow]

Your DVD finds at Value Village reminded me of an amusing anecdote: I used to work in a movie rental store, and in 2005, a woman came in asking if we had a copy of a movie called "Chowse". We all kept scratching our heads trying to think what on earth this movie was that none of us had heard of. It turned out to be the new Jason Statham movie "Chaos", and she literally just didn't understand how to pronounce the word. Definitely had a good laugh over that.

[@holysol]

[@mezzmetronic]

Missed opportunity to call it Treasure HAUNT

[@mezzmetronic]

Thank you for the like brutalmoose love your videos been watching you for years!

[@mixa166]

As an Australian I am obliged to say The Castle is adored by many here. It's a cultural icon, about a man wh......nah, just watch it. You will love the serenity..

[@toxpoint]

That DVD belongs in the pool room

[@funkychicken999]

[@Code7Unltd]

That's not the first time that a Value Village/Savers ever carried imports. I have a Filipino Back to the Future trilogy VCD set that I found while scouring a homeless mission's thrift shop, also found a video titler sold there for $8. I remember that Savers in Vacaville once had a few German "Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs" videotapes.

[@thet00nedl00n]

The absolute whiplash between the Barbie and Jesus movies and then the one with the freaking mall shooting with explosions is genuinely priceless. Also funny enough, the commercial shown at 17:01 was seen in Chadtronic’s Cursed Commercials series.

[@Wombattlr]

Ian casually finding The Castle is amazing.

[@emmittmorgans8076]

I think you mean "The Castull"

[@milapartment]

is this some sort of foreign famous cult movie?

[@Wombattlr]

@@milapartment yep. Nearly everyone here in Australia loves it and quotes it all the time, even 26 years after release.

[@corykeaton3126]

@13:22 I love how Ian continues on through with his sentence as if he didn't just say "bock of the bax".

[@Prolific_Troll]

Hopefully he can edit that out in the remaster along with the other 139 spelling errors in the credits... or at least make it slightly less offensive.

[@jordanhineman567]

As an Australian, The castle is a genuine classic, you’ll not be disappointed! Much love my guy

[@baronbirdman4979]

My excitement when i saw the castle was immeasurable i really hope ian watches it. All time favourite movie

[@MasterPadoo]

I love how you can just effortlessly find the humor in everything that surrounds you. "You do what you have to do, but we need milk." Truer words have never been spoken!

[@JR-kx3jr]

Ah yes, Spooky House. The crowning performance of Ben Kingsley’s career.

[@MJ-98]

The upload time of this video only makes the whole channel fit further into the "completely mundane show on adult swim in the middle of the night" vibe and I love that.

[@ViktorErikFade]

Man those were the best sometimes because you never saw those types of shows Or only all the time on adult swim itself before googling stuff was more of a thing

[@alakazamlover4908]

for real though

[@TYCOIX]

Where I live Ian's upload timing is the best lol because it's in the afternoon for me

[@alakazamlover4908]

it was like...midnight or 11pm for me, so not super late, but efficiently late but timezones be wack@@TYCOIX

[@robertschnobert9090]

​@@TYCOIXare you a time traveler or something? Haha 🌈

[@AlaskanSavage]

The Castle is a great grab Ian! I actually moved from Washington to Australia in 2019 and it didn't take long for the locals to let me know that that movie is a national treasure over here. You'll love it.

The Castle is the best, and if anyone says it isn't- they're wrong!

[@boabdownunder]

Stars a young Eric Bana no less!

[@WafflesX3XD]

oh absolutely! can confirm, it’s a damn national treasure .

[@catyawning]

The statue of Tails you have for displaying the DVDs is precious and the best thing I've ever seen. And I suppose the moral of the story is to not go to Target.

[@alexanderlamar4529]

The second he brought up that $20 limit I knew he was gonna blow right past it. That’s what I love about this channel- no rules, just vibes

[@tyson263]

Holy, the Castle jumpscare. That's an Australian classic, I remember watching it all the time with my nan when I was young.

[@eviebee3188]

THE CASTLE! A classic piece of Australian cinema, beloved by the masses. If you ever visit Australia you'll no doubt hear at least one of the famous quotes from it.

[@LesbianJumpscare]

Ian has summoned the australians by mentioning the castle and we must answer the call

[@englishatheart]

I keep seeing people bringing up him mentioning that movie, but I have yet to see anyone mention how badly he mispronounced "castle." Like, what the crap? 😂

[@1Thunderfire]

​@@englishatheartHe does this kind of thing a lot on streams purposefully to be fair. Usually.

[@paulieswalnut]

The most frightening thing in this video might be the fact that Ben Kingsley signed on to be a character in Spooky House! 😱

[@yungtown]

You should've definitely gotten that weird looking billiard movie "Shooting Gallery" although the movie "Hardflip" looks like a freaking FIND. I'd love to see some coverage on some of these random movies in the future. Fantastic video as always.

[@jaredevanwilson]

@yungtown I immediately had to look Hardflip up for a future bad movie night lmao, good news is (at least for sure in the U.S.) it's free on TubiTV! Definitely hope he covers it someday though

[@alext6933]

That transition from Goodwill to Target was lovely.

[@_k.jpg2236]

Just a random note; I used to work at Value Village in Canada and the reason the stickers are on the spine like that is for the employees to see the colour of the sticker. Each colour is the different days those items come out and they usually cycle through them throughout the week. An employee would go through at the end of the week and grab the colour that was at the beginning of the week and usually, the price decreased based on how long it's been there. Not sure if they still do this, but it also frustrated me how those stickers covered the name. They did it on books too but thankfully it was a much smaller sticker.

[@thecosmicradiation]

Incredible to see you stumble across The Castle, one of Australia's most iconic films!

[@Besmertnic]

The duplicator is for transferring film and slides to video, not copying tapes.

[@sdivine13]

Tapes are film

[@BedWords_]

tapes are magnetic! film is optical@@sdivine13

[@wateringcan2]

@@sdivine13 tapes are magnetic media (tape). film is film.

[@TheNobod3]

Value Village puts the price tag on the DVDs' spines because they use the different colors to tell how long they've been on the shelf. The tag color for new items changes every week, and if something sits on the shelf for 2 months, it gets recycled.

[@brutalmoose]

yoooooo. this is awesome information, i had no idea. i still think covering the title of movies/cd's on the side is a little counter-productive but thank you for keeping me in the know.

[@prehistoricturtlesaurus5309]

So your saying that they are literally puppies in the pound who are going to be put down if I don't bring them home?

[@FrenkTheJoy]

When the shelves are already half empty of course it would be terrible if they just threw out an item they got for free instead of keeping it or ever thinking "gee maybe $10 is too much for this shitty dvd and that's why it's not selling".

[@stickturner]

The Castle is amazing! It's an Australian national treasure. I think you needed to grow up in Aus in the 90s to really get it, but it is regularly quoted amongst all my family still

[@DavesFriends]

At least Value Village still has the 2-VHS collection of Titanic. If that isn't available then it can't be considered a thrift store. Definitely down to see more thrifting videos

[@Taipan108]

The Castle is a classic Australian comedy that was quoted endlessly in Australia by everyone in the late nineties (and continues to be on occasion). I wasn’t a fan of it myself, but I did understand why other Aussies liked it. It also features a young Eric Bana, who went on to star in The Hulk, Blackhawk Down, and the internationally underrated but seriously awesome Chopper, based on a true story about criminal underworld figure Mark “Chopper” Read.

[@MK_ULTRA_HDTV]

Oh, god. Spooky House is so weird and fun. It needs a video to itself.

[@evaquittman7038]

Danny Gonzalez did make one!

[@KingsRow55]

I also am a fan of Half-Price Books, they usually have some vintage/retro TTRPG manuals and sourcebooks in the locked cabinets. They're priced ridiculously but I love flipping through them regardless

[@twistanturnu529]

As a brit, seeing Ian call a wall of thrift dvds a tiny selection fills me with jealousy lol

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Agreed. We don't have much in Denmark, either, and the bigger second-hand places have their DVDs at practically full price. To the point where I always wish for a gift certificate for the biggest local one for Christmas instead of using my own money.

[@Pandamaxx]

As a collector of Garfield comics myself, I am incredibly envious that there are stores over there with a "Garfield section". They're like an oddity over here, very hard to locate.

[@lorelig]

Same, I collect Garfield memorabilia and even in Indiana, Garfields birthplace, coming across Garf stuff in the wild is rare

[@beerdrinker_6930]

@@beerdrinker_6930i mean, you joke but you're not wrong.

[@XxDemon23xX]

I feel the same way about Retro Game stores where you can casually walk into a building full of classic NES, ATARI ect games. I haven't seen something like a N64 game on a shelf since rental stores in early 2000s.

[@vivalanina]

I thought Guillermo del Toro's cabinet of curiosities was the scarefest of the season, but I've never been more spooked than the Spooky Man that waits within Spooky House.

[@call_me_mad1236]

I usually love his stuff but found the cabinet of curiosities extremely mediocre. Watched about half of the episodes before I decided it wasn’t worth continuing

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

As someone who's own thrifting adventures have been hugely curtailed lately, I really love and appreciate these types of videos. I miss going treasure hunting.

[@batjackgames6838]

As an Aussie I can attest that The Castle is a great film, we watched it during our legal studies class during high school

[@sherrybomb6027]

I just really like how Tails holds your stuff for your display thingy!

[@NervousNecromancer]

[@jasperjazzie]

some people might question ian's decision but i think i too would buy a movie called "australiens" if we're being entirely honest.

[@aerendyll]

I absolutely love thrifting videos, because you never know what you'll find and sometimes there's just hidden treasures waiting that you'd never find otherwise. I would love to see more of these in the future!

[@ultimablackmage]

The Castle is a classic Australia movie about a man fighting for his home against the local council & airport. Surprised a copy made it to Yankeeland & still sealed too.

Man this just makes me once again wish there would be "no inauthentic cosplay" days at Renaissance festivals. Good for you to have fun but sometimes I want to go to a Renaissance fair and only see people dressed normally or dressed in Renaissance clothes and not dressed like fairies or Captain Kirk.

[@hawktalon7890]

​@@FrenkTheJoy Depends on where you live, when I used to live in Northern California there was a Renaissance cosplay only rule.

[@The_Noswam]

Always glad to see a new Ian McThrifty upload! Fun fact for you, Moose. "Australiens" was a film the company I currently work at (Gravitas Ventures) was responsible for distributing! Nice to see our work randomly out in the wild, in Seattle all the way from Cleveland. Too bad most of our movies are terrible!

i used to live in this area of Everett, and even worked at the tj maxx that's in the Everett Mall plaza from your other video. after covid hit and my dad got sick, my sister and i packed up and drove back home to SC. seeing you go around to all of these stores that i used to visit and pass by everyday really makes me happy and homesick at the same time. i hope you'll keep this series up!

[@greylandrum9164]

Hi Ian. I was showing your videos to my parents and they asked if you would like to come over for dinner. Let me know if you would like to. Thank you :)

[@Kira_Yoshikage959]

I was eating lunch looking for stuffs to watch on youtube and the happy shriek I let out when I saw ian's thrift store video made my coworkers concerned.

[@ArtzyZero]

If you ever visit the UK you'll find a ton of DVD's in our charity shops, there's always a bookshelf or two filled to the brim! Though for some reason our charity shops no longer sell CD's, at least my local ones anyway. But I love a good rummage through second hand shops, you'll never know what you'll find and the money you spend usually goes to a good cause! :D

[@Immeminne]

Used to drive by the Route 66 Drive-In all the time as I kid. I was so little, that I thought it was one of the biggest structures on Earth. Never got to see a movie in it, as it was closed in 1993 and demolished. A true loss.

This is bringing back so many memories. I remember going to the Lynnwood Goodwill and getting a used, in-box PS2 for $260 or something for my sixteenth birthday. I also remember going to a Value Village when I was way younger, sometimes getting a bag of Hot Wheels cars I think. Great video as always.

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

Always a pleasant surprise when Ian shows up

[@eatfriesplspls]

it would be a lot of fun to go on a thrifting adventure with ian, it just seems like such a chill (but still fun) experience fr. Especially since he visits stores I've never had the pleasure of going to, I saw a book I've been REALLY wanting recently in just his HALF PRICE BOOKS footage, frankly I'm jealous

17:00 The hot dog comic strip in the book. I actually remember watching that when I used to volunteer at an old movie theater and they would play old movie commercials. That was one that they played every time because we sold hot dogs and to encourage people to go to the concession stands, such nostalgia.
