Today we are at Sea World in San Diego that's in southern California and it's our last Sea
World park that we had to visit um so that's pretty exciting hopefully we're gonna find
some carnival games today I see one over there but in the meantime they actually have a ton
of claw machines so we thought let's see if we can win something maybe cute maybe themed
from a claw machine there's some Sesame Street plush there's some like little whales I did
even see one with Squishmallows um so it's kind of calling our name it's still on a token-based
system so that's pretty cool so let's go see if we can win anything from the claw machines
at Sea World San Diego.
All right so if you're using a card it's ten dollars for 26 tokens but if you have cash
you get 60 tokens for 20 bucks.
It's gonna dispense two times it says.
So is that true.
Or is it just going to dispense forever?
Is that 60 tokens oh my gosh you're gonna fill in the machine.
It says it's twenty dollars will dispense two times.
It lied, this must be 60, you wanna manually count on camera?
No
Oh my god they're freezing right now oh my god.
Oh they're so cold.
All right all right let's go see.
That's about 60 tokens that seems right.
Sure yeah.
Okay you know we had to start here first it's uh Squishmallows however they're in these
mystery bags which does mean they're gonna be definitely harder to pick up um because
they're kind of like a slippery shape if you will.
I almost feel like this is an impossible shape to grab because they're just gonna be slick
they don't have any of the little rubber nubs on there so it's not gonna pick it up well.
Let's try it at least one or two times and then if we're successful we might try it a
third time so these are the mystery ones there's like a little unicorn there's an axolotl mystery
one um and if we do win one we'll open it here on camera as well.
Let's go for this one I think that one's.
The middle one I agree that's the one I would have gone for so you want something that the
claw can reach around and then Spencer's going this first one I think it's gonna be to kind
of knock it over is that correct?
Yeah it's gonna have to try to knock it over are you ready?
So let's see what happens here yeah that made a weird noise that I didn't like okay not
the worst grab I've ever seen in my life okay okay I'm not hating this.
That was surprisingly not terrible it did put it a little farther away from the chute
but I think it actually grabbed it better than I thought it would.
Okay I'm pleased so far so we're going to play again because it did make an effort you
want to see claw that's making an effort for you.
These are E-claws which are notoriously difficult to win.
Yes but we do love them I like the colors I like the music.
Okay let's see if this is gonna be far enough back I don't know.
Okay another beautiful line up there.
No see it's just not gonna hold it what do you think try one more time?
One more time let's see.
It threw it so far back though it's going farther and farther back every time.
Yes we wanted to go the other direction.
Yeah towards the chute but.
I don't know if you can see in the corner yes there are aliens the clawwww.
Can I go far enough back?
I don't know if I can.
This might be a gamble.
Let's see that's as far back as the claw goes which I think is gonna be pretty spot on yeah
that was pretty spot-on.
A beautiful grab again from spencer oh no.
Loosens and lets it right out man.
Okay are we done or do you want to try one more standing up since we had a good grab
the first time?
Okay let's try one more standing up all right.
For science for science.
So hard to leave these Squishmallows.
I know I really want to open one it seems so fun.
Okay so that's a good left and right though oh whoa whoa whoa oh you got
30 seconds that's a decent amount of time.
Got all the time in the world all right all right try number four for a mystery Squishmallow.
Oh what the.
What happened?
Oh um.
Oh it's really hard to walk away from this one oh my gosh oh my gosh guys, drop a comment
would you have walked away or are you committed to the Squishmallow?
I mean you gotta be getting close right?
It has to be getting close yes
Okay he's kind of going for that side lineup but there are claw machines on both sides
so you can't really go around.
I think it might be too far to the right oh see it didn't.
Oh my gosh I don't know I don't know I really don't know oh my god he's going again we literally
said we were gonna play this three times before we turn on the camera just full disclosure
so sometimes we just go wild I hope you guys just understand that and love that about us.
An interesting grab it doesn't have a great it didn't have a great grab on that third
arm.
Oh my gosh all right all right I gotta walk away.
One more time then let's walk away oh my gosh this is going to turn into a Squishmallow
claw video entirely.
I really thought we had it.
Me too I did too.
It was getting stronger every time so you really have to watch if it catches on the
lip of the bag yeah.
I'm trying to get a little bit maybe to the left all right.
Oh I didn't realize there's a mirror in the back hi!
Going for that long look around it's really funny that this is the vibe that we've got
going on right now.
No it's way too far back.
Oh no.
All right that's how you know time to walk away.
Okay okay.
Okay this may not be an obvious themed prize to you but they do have a whole Sesame Street
area and a new Sesame Street park actually coming in March so um themed yes check.
Sure all right uh I think I want that Big Bird.
Yeah I think Big Bird's in a good location he's really cute he is really big.
Another E-claw.
Can someone tell us the name of the pink chef that's hanging on the back wall because he's
really cute.
They have their names on their tags but they're.
His tags are all backwards yeah I don't know his name but he's he's super cute.
All right we're gonna go for the middle.
Like go for the tummy?
Go for a full tummy grab.
Okay this is our first time on this claw we have no idea how it's going to be today oh
okay not terrible.
That was the perfect grab.
Not terrible.
Right around the middle.
Okay he is kind of heavy so notably the claw is gonna have to get pretty strong to be able
to pick him up.
I know I feel like Abby Cadabby would be a little easier because she's lighter.
Yeah but Big Bird I mean.
I know you can't do better than that.
So notably he can get to the side on this one so that's been great.
I was gonna say that.
I'm stealing your thunder oh another great grab I don't know about the tag there oh oh
oh oh he flaps so dramatically like.
One more time.
He's not moving too much so we're gonna give it one more try.
Yeah there is I think I did see another uh Sesame Street claw in here.
Okay.
I'd really like Cookie Monster he's definitely my favorite Sesame Street character and that
or um what's Wormy's name?
Slimy.
Slimy the wormy.
Slimey the wormy.
I always call him Wormy, I've just renamed everybody in my life um.
All right that's not going anywhere just picking it up and dropping it.
I think it's too heavy.
Yeah oh I didn't see there was a Count back there.
I know it's a really cute selection.
Okay we don't do this very often but we've got one of these crazy claws with PS4, Switches,
Xbox One it is four tokens for all the other claws we played have been two tokens, we're
just going to try it once it's kind of just for the laughs.
It only took three.
Oh it only needed three.
What should you go for, should you go foe the ones that are laying down?
I think you should go for the Switch that's upright.
You think oh my gosh this thing is way.
Yeah this is kind of just for fun I guess I just want to see what happens I feel like
it's going to drop it immediately.
I don't think it's going to pick it up.
I think it's just going to knock it over.
You think you have to go for one of the flat ones?
I think you do but it's tempting.
Do you think it was set up like this?
Yeah.
Oh I told you it's not gonna, oh but it's got like an angle.
You wanna try it one more time?
Let's see if it takes three again.
Okay.
I mean I'll be prepared to put in four.
One, two, three.
No.
Oh someone must have just put one in before.
Yeah that's what it was.
Okay.
That happens a lot on these ones are more expensive too for sure.
There's obviously a Deal or No Deal right next to us.
The banker is calling.
All right our banker's calling he said stop wasting money on this.
Oh my gosh look what the heck just happened.
Yeah that was no good I mean that's like.
Garbage if you will.
Oh my gosh we heard it calling us it's just like being at home did you guys know we have
one of these machines in our house?
How silly.
We heard it as soon as we walked into the arcade so uh I might have to put a token in
there just like for some good luck.
Okay we've walked up and this machine had a credit in it already so um.
I think they just turned on all these machines I think they were all off from the opening.
Um I think it's good luck I think it's good luck.
Yeah for sure for sure.
A free play just for us and there's no one around we didn't take it from anyone.
Another big one oh not a great grab but um okay well we have to try once more.
Yeah.
It was a free play you have to try it.
Is this Grover can you reach him?
I'll see.
Because he looks a little bit lighter.
Oh maybe that's why.
Oh is it send help.
Oh no oh no.
Yeah I know that's a no good machine.
Goodbye Big Bird Goodbye Grover.
Oh wait let's recover let's go for this little penguin.
Okay all right.
Does this have a free play?
No.
No all right you want that little black penguin or the pink one?
Oh the pink one the pink one is everything over here like messed up oh no it's working
okay I was like what happened.
All right I'm going for both.
Um.
Is this a winner every time?
No.
No it's not?
No you lost you got greedy going for all of them for all.
I didn't go for all of it it got stuck.
Oh there's even a purple penguin.
It got stuck on the shark.
Got stuck on the shark oh I like that octopus too.
We have a rubber duck machine that's not a winner every time?
Yeah oh man oh man.
I'm not liking this place.
We have to try this claw because um these are like little sea life plushies and they
are Lil Huggies which you know we love we have the penguin and the manatee Lil Huggy
at home I think you've won the blue like nurse shark before.
Yeah I have that's right all right let's see I don't know these are so hard to grab this
one's huge too.
Oh that's gonna be really close oh that did like nothing.
I think you might have to go for the narwhal.
All right I'm gonna dig into your pocket of coins.
I put them in my pocket which I regret because they were cold.
They were freezing you want me to go for the narwhal?
Yeah I think that's easier what do you guys think in the comments the narwhal or the uh
shark looks easier?
Or the buffalo.
The buffalo is out of play he's too far back.
That's so funny though all right let's see.
Let's give it a whirl and this one is standalone so once we can get on either side which is
nice.
Oh man.
That was bad these Huggies are so hard to grab sometimes.
I guess going to the side didn't help.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lotl.
Yeah but if they if you don't grab them like perfectly they're just going to slip out one
end.
Yeah okay all right we're anxiously waiting I think you have to get at least that front
one kind of around its face, okay here we go.
Oh what the heck oh.
Oh now they're like stuck on each other.
Guys guys guys do you remember when we played at Bush Garden Williamsburg and it was terrible
we didn't get anything well this park is owned by the same people, terrible, didn't get anything
also I do want to say full disclosure we actually hung out around the arcade we did play the
Squishmallow one a few more times off camera I don't want to admit how many times still
nothing and we watched another family play that like whale and the shark Hug Me, Lil
Huggy or whatever um probably 20 more times and honestly nothing and we saw little girl
cry because she didn't get something so nobody has won anything in any claw machine in this
entire arcade or morning and people are playing non-stop so that has to say something about
the quality of this claws so we kind of give this one two thumbs down for claw machines
hopefully we have better luck on some of the carnival games here but sad for the claw machines
at Sea World San Diego.
