I have been trapped in this video for 8 hours. Every time he tells me to touch his finger at the end, I do and the video rewinds by ten seconds

[@Yonkadonka]

Sisyphus.

[@tdpmaze]

I literally just was trying to find a coney vid to watch and then thought to myself, “this is around the time he posts.” And boom

[@level3xfactor]

Helps the work day go by that much faster 😊

[@LucidProtean]

You made him upload, you conjured it

[@TheOblomoff]

I can see how "not to be used as a weapon" is necessary warning for the expandable staff.

[@ethanmontgomery6132]

Well I'm wondering what you use it for if NOT a weapon. Just to spin around for show or otherwise be a total nerd with it.

[@matthewbartlett3442]

Ethan Montgomery what’s the difference

[@_Jay_Maker_]

But then what's the fucking point of it? You can literally go to a hardware store and get a wooden dowel for 10 bucks, if that, and accomplish the same thing. All he does is spin it. Actual canes and walking sticks are cheaper and collapsible batons - that actually are used and serviceable for self-defense - are both less cumbersome and more useful. My guy is even dressed up like you're not supposed to take him seriously. Would've been more reasonable if he'd done Darth Maul cosplay.

[@railfun]

Yeah, because using an extendable baton as a weapon is a serious crime in several states. Illegal to even own in California, illegal to carry in Mass., New York, and DC.

[@gameuniverse5973]

@@_Jay_Maker_ like the power pole from DBZ or as the original sun wukong staff to use as a prop

[@MrSkerpentine]

One of my favorite failed kickstarters I’ve come across was this I thiiiink MMO game where the idea is that they make a 3D model and/or real world animatronic of you that moves inside of a real world set (it’s not well explained at all) and the game has this batshit insane plot about Google nuking the world and a bunch of refugees being flung out into space on a ship housing the corpse of actual Steve Jobs or something I was unable to find what the project was called (yes even that is hard to pin down) but there’s a video on it on KZbin called “Kickstarter Nonstarters: We Don’t Know What This Is”

[@keenfrizzle]

My mind split in half when the Dragonfly kept spinning and flipping and unfolding like it did. One of those impossible objects, but someone was selling it as an actual product. Unreal

[@selmiespot]

i love how when its all folded together its just the most unwieldy hunk of metal you've ever seen lol. like a literal brick of screens and keyboards

[@randomguy8107]

I would love this thing to be real, it looks great

[@grunkleg.3110]

I love how for the Dragonfly Knife Device, they decided to split the keyboard in half for it to be able to fold and so you can try to type like a normal person. But then that means you can't use it as one single laptop, you need to use dual-screen mode for the full keyboard, have fun being productive while your attention is split perfectly down the center. I also found it really funny how they started the video with their vice president of social media introduce the supposed issue the product solves instead of like the CEO or the lead designer or the guy who came up with the idea

[@thatoneguy9582]

it does very blatantly show that the keyboard doesn’t work in the one laptop mode now that you mention it yeah

[@castform7]

The Ring seems like a really cool idea that's held back by multiple logistical problems and "what if" scenarios. It feels more like something you'd see in a futuristic movie and be like "dude that's so cool I wish it were real".

[@Hexumonium]

It's like Okami IRL. Maybe it would have been more successful as a paintbrush.

[@damandatwin]

Yeah there is no way they can actually make that work like they described

[@portalfreak7628]

8:28 Oh my GOD I remember this one!!! There's this channel called Retsupurae where the guys running it (who'd used to do MST3K-like riffs on really bad Let's Plays) did a series of videos looking at really bad Kickstarters back when they were new _nearly ten years ago at most_ and they did one on this exact dude. Absolutely crazy to see it featured here.

[@lucifersam7946]

The first thought that arrived to my head upon seeing that guy was the Retsupurae video, oh how I miss them.

[@CalamitasCalliope]

This reminds me of my favorite world record holder, Tommy Talerico! His mother is very proud

[@darkknightgamer123]

Coney the type of guy to buy a Google Glass in 2015

[@Hexumonium]

Me too. Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team.

[@Xanek]

The one time use power banks... such a bad idea, especially for the environment, also why that packaging lol. I do like the idea of hearing a story of someone using the ring to pay someone and their whole life savings gets yoinked in an instant. "NO, MY MONEY!!"

[@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569]

Sounds like someone doesn't understand the point of triangles smh my head

[@kadabraguy9846]

It HAD to be a joke product. The condom wrapper with the condom-tipped "0", the forced acronym spelling "DERP", the idea of a one-use 5% battery charge, this had to be either a joke or a flat-out scam lmao

[@Zorua3]

You can tell that Coney’s sense of time is fucked because he sees “seven years ago” and thinks “a long time ago, before charging packs were invented” instead of “2016, WAY after charging packs were invented”

[@matthewbartlett3442]

Tbh I think everyone’s sense of time is fucked at this point. He said 7 years ago and I thought “ah, 2010”

[@4546Bean]

Yeah I still feel like it’s 2020

[@ExaltedUriel]

I never realized, but tech scams actually make GREAT inspiration for sci-fi tech. It'll never work in real life but the IDEA is cool, the Ring and Dragonfly are fun.

[@abot4029]

Coney will sit there and talk about all the things that make a product completely worthless and still say it could've been big, truly the alpha consumer (great vid)

[@Imstillhangintherethankgod]

Imagine watching 2 Coney streams on the Dragonfly AT THE SAME TIME. A revolutionary product for sure

[@gameuniverse5973]

My awful kickstarter idea:A special salt shaker that you can set certain amounts of salt that you make listed with each food with it automatically closing up when you reach that amound of salt so you dont over salt or under salt a food can work with other spices or even sugar

[@MrSkerpentine]

If you try to use it with pepper or any other spice it overheats and dies

[@kayame18]

Settings: A pinch, to taste, enough.

[@Hexumonium]

That's brilliant. Sodium overload is a thing.

[@rhysdog8600]

already done. it was called smalt and did not reach its suspiciously low funding goal

[@HazzMataz]

GO-FORWARDNESS

[@pup64hcp]

i love the aesthetic of early 2010s era fake tech products

[@JaylanxYT]

I don’t know why but every time I watch a coney video, I get 50 unskippable ads in a row about chiaki’s journey. I DONT WANNA WATCH IT STOP

[@isaaca.garcia8958]

SAME DUDE! OH MY GOD. Non stop car ads. I don't wanna buy your stupid car or watch your stupid car movie! Who the fuck even is Chiaki?!

[@Hexumonium]

I loved this. Please do more of this. I vote for Part 2 and probably even 3,4,5, etc. This could be a whole series. I would love that. I'll let you know when I get sick of them.

[@MrOofio64]

I want to make a Kickstarter called "Give me money" and the goals are just "You gave me money, thanks 👍"

[@MrOofio64]

But that wouldn't work considering most people wouldn't do that.

[@thatjuliusfellow5664]

i hope coney is doing well in all his endeavors

[@lonk2902]

Coney seems like the worst person for this he likes every bad product.

[@uniformofsquids1718]

I really like coney’s Reddit stuff because it’s sparse enough that it doesn’t get repetitive, interesting enough that he can make a game out of it, and he reads through the threads instead of just looking at the posts. Like I have a rule that I usually use Adblock on any Reddit or react videos but coney’s a big exception because he’s not just stealing videos, he either gets permission or adds an element to make it his own. Like I know this is still slop content but I don’t feel bad about it

[@euan4102]

Coney 7 years ago was 2016. Power banks were a very established market

[@LovelySoftSnow]

Butterfly knife computer is a hilarious concept

[@convivialcomics]

Always love the vibe Coney, great video!

[@ValueNetwork]

Jeff Batio and his transforming Laptop with 50 screens. Very legit

[@elliotanderson324]

Really enjoyed this video!! Please make more of these!

[@crosshex8066]

this is the first video i have actually laughed at in so long thank you for always bringing a smile to my life coney

[@lofie1553]

I just found Coney's channel yesterday, and I'm already addicted lol!

[@Jazardly]

If you read the FAQ of the Penergy product, its basically a perpetual motion machine. Somehow perpetual motion machines aren't on the prohibited items list of Kickstarter.

[@ballisticboo7808]

Today I learned that triangles generate infinite energy for some reason

[@ellie8272]

This was a lot of fun, looking forward to part 2

[@theotherjared9824]

I love how the pitch for Ring is "control literally any electronic device however you want. Be the god of this modern world."

[@Whirl9999]

I love seeing these, hope you do more 😂

[@doubletheblack]

Man those a some crazy kick starters

[@17raysplays29]

DERP were literally biggering.

[@soulreaper2008]

I accidentally hit the left arrow key before the video really got started and now I can't stop. I'm way too easily entertained

[@typo_fenrir]

Anyone else kept hearing the Transformer transforming sound when the Dragonfly would fold or unfold

[@NightGhost-qs6yw]

Uh oh he’s coney posting!!!

[@meliaantiqua6629]

Shoutout to the editor using Style Savvy bgm tracks, you're a real one

[@KaioKenneth4]

15:26 “There I am, Gary! There I am!”

[@Xxblade17]

14:45 THIS CAUGHT ME WAY OFF GUARD LMAO SHOUTOUT JEFF BEDIOS 💀

[@Silver-hi1ky]

Coney was NOT spitting when it came to the power bank lmao

[@myn0valife]

I watched the whole video expecting Kickstart My Heart to play but it didn't... Thanks Coney!

[@quackkillerreal]

Reddit videos are honestly one of my favorite types of coney content

[@TroboTicTac]

the dragonfly disagrees with all laws of physics just to be able to exist. How inspiring !

[@halbarroyzanty2931]

Coney inventing the car battery was pretty funny

[@snivydream]

WE NEED MORE OF THIS

[@-feonix48-47]

The dragonfly might be the closest thing we’ve made to a blocks angel

[@matthewc4121]

I completely forgot about the pebble watch, my dad won one from a work event and gave it to me to mess with, I loved that thing to death

[@bumblessb]

The Dragonfly had me dying there is no way people can think that's legit

[@Epomanclassics]

Always a good day when coney drops a vid

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

The DERP thing is so bad... My store sold something similar I would ALWAYS talk people out of buying them. First off people suck at recycling so where will these things end up after their single use? This is the same problem I have with "disposable" ecigs. They are not disposable. They have lithium batteries in them. They are plastic which is also bad. They dont hold a large battery at all so their 1 time use has a short use by date window and when you finally use it it charges your phone like 10%. Just a bad idea all around unless your goal is to ruin the planet more. EDIT: made this before finishing that segment glad this got shut down and the commenters knew what was up. If only we could get rid of disposable ecigs. I use an ecig I am a douchefluter I get it but the disposables are just awful.

[@OmegaGlops]

I want to see a part two!

[@ryler_ag]

please make more of these videos this had me dying 😂😂😂

[@lordkyruma]

Man, that was a great video, i laughed my ass off when the dude with the fedora showed up

[@basedbreadbug5558]

The dragonfly was cool but I feel like there just wasn't enough screens. Put 6 or 8 screens on that thing and then we can talk

[@Bone8380]

The king of react content is back with another banger

[@potato2769]

Coney your Kracko hat looks really cool.

[@Ultradragon16]

Yo! Really digging that Mario Picross music in the background!

[@lylelylecrocodile2538]

4:22 literally that thing that they do on Disney channel

[@drhody4229]

Let's get part 2!

[@TableSalt_]

I think the Zmart Zoom would be good if it was made with more modern and popular gadgets

[@1syrupyboi433]

Please do more of this it was great

[@Animenite97]

those Dragonfly folks really say the Nintendo DS and said "hold my beer."

[@SunsetInStone]

I ENJOYED THIS CONTENT I WOULD LIKE MORE OF THIS CONTENT THANK YOU COMNEY FOR ALL THE CONTENT

[@SonicKid7]

That Dragonfly's keyboard layout made me physically recoil. It was disgusting.

[@Mr_Jumbles]

"This product was just before it's time!" Yelled at a DISPOSABLE cellphone exclusive battery pack. Meanwhile pocket sized rechargeable battery packs had existed for years by then. Coney... 🤦

[@LucidProtean]

This video better do well I wanna see part 2

[@BalloonSeasonArchive]

certified coney classic

[@jakipop3397]

"Oh, that shit's the triangle..."

[@justabanana4220]

Part 2 is needed

[@Goobt64]

I actually liked and commented, hoping for the part 2!

[@froggigami]

The Dragonfly looked like a wallet...

[@yamihenry1955]

So close to 120k!🎉

[@RealMeefa]

I’m pretty sure Amazon literally sells “smart rings” now

[@Pants.69]

“John Wick with the Derps”

[@SolarFlorad]

This was some quality Coney Content.

[@Banana_D]

Wow Coney! These kickstarters really are the worst ideas! I love commenting and boosting my favorite Coney videos into the algorithm!

[@atwistedb]

Coney hasn’t had his hand on his face for a while… could this be a new era of thumbnails?

[@ablackghost1]

Hope there’s a part 2

[@ablackghost1]

Thank you for the one like 🫡

[@byrontheusurper6505]

6:45 modern day kankuro

[@Noodle-Segootal]

Nature is healing, kids don't know what "derp" means anymore

[@cic1470]

Give us part 2 Coney. Why would you deny us the gift of innovation?

[@superjumpbros64]

That fidget spinner wouldnt even spin. They should've put the charger on the top

[@TheDeadTexan]

I’m gonna get 40 of those fidget spinners and connect them to my Tesla and drive forever.

[@ScribeAwoken]

The funny thing with the Dragonfly is that there's another device that is probably a more practical version of the same concept, and is an actual product you can buy: the NexDock. And unlike the Dragonfly, it's just a peripheral for your existing android phone (albeit only if you use certain brands like Samsung, Huawei or Motorola whose software skin already has a desktop mode when connected to an external display and I/O) or a Linux phone if you're an absolute weirdo

[@Rockalanche]

I love when Coney thinks he came up with a great new invention, but it turns out to already be a thing that was created years ago.

[@dangangalaxy9759]

What a great video! [I'm liking and subscribing and commenting so we get a part II]

[@speertime]

I want part 2 please!

[@varunkrishnaswamy4252]

Liking and commenting for part 2 even though I can go on the subreddit myself, I only consume content if it comes from Coney, he's the best smash youtuber out there.

[@byrontheusurper6505]

4:20 playing lostmagic irl!

[@thesacredbeast2000]

i did a search, for $9.99usd you can get a charger that uses 2 AA/AAA batteries and fits on your keyring.

[@XylessBrawl]

I hope this has the pizza bag fight stick Kickstarter.

[@smollmoth6376]

What's the point of a right that can connect and communicate with everything with simple hand gestures, if you have to pair it first lmao.

[@sunburner_ray]

hopefully we get a part 2

[@jesseferguson602]

8:55 Japanese Mario Picross music, I hear you...

[@kyokoro_p]

The fidget spinner doesn't sound *that* bad. It's a toy and an actual utility product. Even if it didn't promise self-charging or emergency charge, it'd be fun at least
