Hey man, have you ever noticed that we wear the exact same clothes every day?

00:00:08,155 --> 00:00:11,055
Scuba James: We don't...we don't wear any clothes

What if we're both just a cartoon character?

We just open our mouths, and words start coming out.

(gasp) Hey guys! Did you see my brand new Rolex?

James: Maybe he never noticed that his phone has a clock in it.

Pfffff, no one buys a Rolex to tell the time!

00:00:35,955 --> 00:00:38,955
I can't even read this!

People buy Rolexes to indirectly tell everyone how much money we can throw away on useless objects.

Brian just bought... what did he buy. A WATCH!

I'm the type of person who doesn't care about my outward appearance.

A lot of times in high school, we talk about having a healthy

self image of ourselves, and teachers would say stuff like:

Teacher: Don't listen to the people who call you ugly

... you're beautiful. And all i could think was, there is people

saying "i'm ugly?". For the most part, I haven't really tried

to learn anything about fashion. Most of the time

when I get dressed in the morning... I wear whatever is the cleanest

like I don't even know my pants size coz I wear basketball shorts all the time!

... I'm a medium. My parents taught me the value

of hard-work by making me pay for all my clothes

and I am a 100% on-board with that parenting technique.

I think even the super super rich parents should

still make their kids buy their own clothes

because if you just buy your child anything they want,

then they are gonna turn into A-holes who just expect everything without having to work hard.

Those are the types of kids who grow up to flex all their money on people

and who leave all their basketball cards all over the cramped dorm(Throwback)

and also, buying all your own clothes make you think

harder( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) about what you gonna spend your precious dollars on.

You don't wanna waste your money, so you have to pick clothes

you REALLY like. Except my mum told me I couldn't buy anything

too E D G Y(rawr XD). And you know what... fair enough mum

looking back, i'm glad i skipped that emo edgy phase.

BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME EXPRESS MY TRUE SELF MUM?!

thank you for not letting me do that. In the 7th Grade,

I went through an "I need to look cool phase"

and one time I saved up quite a bit of money so me and my mom went on a shopping spree at Cole's

I was going to impress everyone, look so cool, with my brand new

2 pair of jeans. I'll get this normal blue pair

and the exact same pair just in case I spill ketchup on the first one.

Pro: have-your-own-kids-pay-for-their-own-clothes

that way they learn how EXPENSIVE clothes shopping is!

Seriously. Two pairs of jeans was $70 (#boycott cole's)

do you know how many Pokémon cards i could have bought?!

probably enough to make my own Poke pants.

and that's when i learnt about the magical land of Goodwill

and since I had to pay for all my clothes and i was unemployed

I was at Goodwill every other Saturday for that 1/2 off deal

that's like a DOUBLE SALE PEOPLE! Here's the thing

typically a clothes store have a certain "style" they specialise in.

Tillll, you know you're gonna get that hip L.A. style clothes

At Old Navy, you know you're gonna get that white boy white boy Ohio look

DEMONITISED! But when you step inside Goodwill

You don't know what you're getting. You get every style of

I got my favourite t-shirt from Goodwill. I even wore this to a panel at VidCon!

the panel where i didn't talk into the microphone

so you could hear half the words I said. Puppet James: Argh but James,

I DON'T WANNA WEAR CLOTHES THAT'S BEEN WORN BY OTHER PEOPLE (ok Logan Paul, we get it!)

you don't know who else has worn the clothing

but then again, you could be wearing something that was also worn by

The Odd1sout (or Shawn Mendes). THAT'S RIGHT, I donate my clothes to Goodwill

Why would somebody be wearing pants made out of Pokémon cards?(why not)

don't buy expensive clothing, buy whatever you wanna buy... and can't afford

If there's two shirts: one is $40 and one is $5

and you really, really like the $40 shirt

$40 shirt because you'll end up wearing it more often!

In Economics, there's a term to measure how much happiness a product would give you

and it's called Utils. Sometimes buying more expensive things

I get way more utils by buying a shirt for $5

You cannot put a price on all the oodles and oodles of utils

You can wear your Supremese and you Abercrombos

or whatever all you want. I don't think it makes a lot of sense

on spending THAT much money on a white t-shirt and ironed-on logo
