[@lauren_sunshine]

Not even lightly. He made film editor Dan cry 😂😭

Top tier episode. I find it wonderful that Dan probably helped edit this

[@ReikaSensei]

I'm amused everyone knows what their gift is now. XD

[@Loinski]

Did he even buy stuff? It felt more like he only roasted

[@Evermatronic]

Gotta say, as someone who’s in the midst of college and becoming an adult who makes their own decisions, I’ve been saving videos like this and others from team theorist to make life a little bit easier. Thank you MatPat and crew for helping me save my already dwindling money!

[@ravenderose]

I was just about to comment something similar because i noticed many were not talking about it. I just spent $10 on something usually worth $50 and it’s Wednesday. I think a lot of the actual deals are out now, especially online. Black Friday shopping is something you do when you’re comfortable with the money you have and can afford to splurge to feel like you’re saving but the reality is you don’t save as much as you could if you just shopped strategically

[@AmandaNievi]

Absolutely loved the outro with Mat Pat dancing and singing 😂 it has that "I didn't think this would make the cut for the final edit" energy

[@Vi_Vi_1]

I thought the same thing XD that felt like when you're just being silly with your friends and they just included it in the ending lol XD

6:50 Just now i realised that Mat was telling us about passing the channels to his employees in this video, Dan was just "Head editor", and I know he specified that the others where "Creative Directors" but he only writes Film theory, or food Theory, after his announcement, coming back to these videos is like finding clues that you didn't even realised it were clues

I appreciate MatPat making a 23 minute video on how he can save money on his black friday gifts, making them tax deductible

Finally someone said it

[@Rovy83]

They would be tax deductable even without the video....

[@sfreeland701]

Let’s also not forget the whole idea of an item being $300 and then on Black Friday they put the price as “was $400, now $300”

[@Robospy1]

I'm pretty sure that's illegal. I mean, it doesn't stop them from doing it, but still.

[@sncruea]

@@Robospy1 If it was ever retailed at $400 then it's perfectly legal. Very sketchy but legal.

[@sillerbarly4927]

By US laws, still legal since it technically has been priced at $400

[@TheRawrnstuff]

Europe has customer protection laws that consider that false advertising, and laws that prohibit raising the price to discount it "more", but in US I'm pretty sure it's legal, as long as it's not an outright lie. I've no idea how things are elsewhere in the world.

yeah i wish that they would add one for style theory and bring back the ones for all the other channels

[@Dangerous_DM]

Same

[@1.21jiggawatts2]

Me too, though the intros don’t do well in the KZbin algorithm. People’s attention spans are too low so they leave during it or they skip over the intro, both of which hurt the videos performance.

It would be cool if it’s combing from the theorist team

[@freyjathehealer5559]

Style Theory is such a weird and adorable channel. It feels like it has always existed but it’s like less than a year old

[@the_godbodor7026]

I like to think this video was an excuse for MatPat to think about what to get his team members

[@jesusromanpadro3853]

If he has to think about it anyway, why not make a theory about it. ;)

[@AshChiCupcak]

Seeing as Matpat seems to be a verbal processor, as in he needs to say what he's thinking out loud to really process his thoughts, I'd say your right. It's really a win/ win

[@AMirrorCat]

My dad was friends with a family before cell phones became widely used. They bought professional walkie-talkies, planned weeks ahead, and split up into pairs to more efficiently shop during Black Friday

[@slasher3336]

I just think it's hilarious that Matpat may as well have told his entire team what he's getting them for the holidays with this.

[@quincyking010]

well idk if thats true. i could see matt give them something as an individual but this is specifically about the company getting it for them which ill be honest is better they know and like it than what some works do and get them something they gunna hate or just throw away

I kinda do the best of both worlds when it comes to surprises, you can learn what it is if you want to, but you aren't forced to know all the information.

[@ToscaTee]

I’ve learned as i grow older i don’t really like surprise gifts anymore. There are gifts i ended up rarely or never use at all which feels like a huge waste for me. I still highly appreciate any gift i received but now every birthday/special occasion i have i usually notify my family & close friends of the stuff i do want if they _are_ planning to buy something for me (at a sensible price ofc)

I’m honestly surprised that they didn’t do the theory about how apparently the products you get Black Friday is actually different from what you would get on any other day. Like apparently, company’s use a whole different and cheaper product that costs them even less than what they normally do to help increase profit margins even more further on Black Friday. Especially televisions, not sure if it’s just a conspiracy or there’s some truth in something of it?? Would definitely like a video about it see if it’s only a theory.

[@ravenderose]

[@daelynnkit]

@@Moonshine449 oh most definitely, but definitely sounds like something a greedy corporation would do.

[@homerman76]

The problem is that most of those kind of things, even the raised prices, are generally rumors and hearsay at best when you analyze the reality of marketing and how companies are smart enough to know that's a dangerous plan. It's probable that some have pulled such a stunt, but the probability that its common is actually pretty low.

The script-sharing blows my mind. When my mom worked as a writer, then on air for a Memphis news place she wrote all her stuff. I remember her being frustrated because there was an attempted rescue about something and wanted “Hopes Dashed,” as the headline. They said it would be too dramatic and they picked something less evocative. At air? All the others had dramatic headlines. Their biggest competition picked, any guesses? Hopes Dashed.

Style Theory idea: Patrick Bateman from American Psycho has a very unique and iconic morning routine that's supposed to help him look his best. But is he actually correct? Are his methods really the most effective at keeping your skin and body at their best, and if not, what should you be doing instead? This is something I've been wondering for a while and there's no one else I trust to answer it.
