- [Adam] Welcome to the white elephant show,
where we're going to be opening gifts from Vat19 and beyond.
Today's theme is,
"Gifts that are so dumb, they're actually pretty awesome."
Joey, you're up first.
You can open any of the gifts on the table,
minus the two gold gifts.
Those are for the last round.
- [Joey] I see some sprinkles,
some polka dots,
what appears to be a trash can,
but I'm going to go for the fish scales.
- [Adam] Alright!
- [Joey] Let's see what's in here.
Alright.
- [Karrie] What is that?
- [Joey] This is awesome!
- [Jon] I've seen this.
- [Joey] So it is a blanket that looks like a tortilla.
(laughter)
- [Adam] You wrap yourself up in it,
and you look like a burrito.
- [Jon] Burrito Mode: Engage!
- [Joey] Wrap myself up.
- [Adam] That is pretty dumb.
- [Joey] But I'm keeping it.
- [Jon] I want it.
I want that!
- [Adam] Now, here's the deal.
Kelsey, you're going to be up next.
You can either pick any of these gifts off the table,
or you can steal Joey's gift.
- [Kelsey] As much as I really like that,
I already have like 20 blankets at home.
- [Jon] You have 20 tortilla blankets!
- [Kelsey] And these sprinkles are just catching my eye.
- [Adam] Okay.
- [Kelsey] So I'm just going to go with this one.
- [Joey] I thought about that one for a second.
- [Kelsey] It's just--
(laughter)
- [Kelsey] It's a potato.
"You're fired."
- [Joey] Oh, man!
- [Kelsey] I'm fired, but I got a bonus gift.
- [Joey] It's a severance package!
- [Adam] So that's for one of these gifts on the table
at the very end in the last round.
So maybe you'll get something a little better
as a parting gift.
So Kelsey, do you know what this is?
- [Kelsey] It's a potato.
- [Jon] Accurate, yes.
- [Adam] It is a potato,
but it's more than just a potato.
That's actually a potato parcel.
- [Jon] That's a real potato,
and then you can send it to someone in the mail
with any message you want written on it.
I want that.
- [Adam] Really?
- [Joey] That's pretty cool.
- [Ben] I can see that.
- [Joey] It's so weird.
- [Kelsey] I can't imagine getting this in the mail.
It's so random!
- [Adam] Well, it's my turn,
and I have the option,
I can steal any of these gifts,
or I can take one of these.
As much as I love opening gifts,
I really like that blanket.
- [Joey] Dang it, Adam.
- [Adam] Joey, I want that.
I want that comfy, comfy warmth.
- [Joey] Take it.
- [Adam] Oh yeah.
- [Joey] Are you like a soft taco or like a burrito?
- [Adam] I'm a quesadilla guy.
I really like quesadillas,
so I'm a little quesadilla!
- [Ben] You look comfy and tasty.
- [Jon] Kind of royal too,
like it's a cape.
- [Adam] So Joey, because I took your gift,
you now are giftless.
No, I'm joking.
You get the option to either steal,
or you can open a new gift.
- [Joey] Well, I like my job,
so I don't want the spud that says you're fired.
Why not?
I'll go big.
- [Adam] Go big or go home.
- [Joey] Yeah.
- [Jon] Wow.
- [Ben] If you're going to go dumb,
go big and dumb.
- [Jon] That's what I always say.
(laughter)
- [Jon] Judging by that reaction,
it must be amazing.
- [Group] Ooh.
- [Joey] It's a gorilla grabber.
- [Jon] Yeah.
- [Adam] So this is a grabber that is a gorilla hand.
- [Jon] It's also used for scratching backs,
so you can just go ahead and demonstrate.
- [Adam] Hey, grab that potato.
- [Joey] Yeah, let's see what the grip strength--
(laughter)
- [Kelsey] Wow.
- [Adam] That's not bad.
- [Joey] Here we go, just--
- [Adam] Nope, this one's mine.
Jon, it's your turn.
- [Jon] I believe it is my turn.
Okay!
- [Adam] You can steal.
- [Jon] I think the potato parcel is pretty awesome,
but I think I'm going to send my own
to somebody in the mail.
I'll let you have the "You're fired" one.
- [Joey] Just go ahead and, you know.
- [Jon] Nah nah nah nah nah.
So I think it's reverse psychology.
I think this might be a trash can,
but I think the best gift is going to be in the trash can.
- [Joey] It's not a garbage gift?
- [Jon] It's a garbage gift.
Oh!
It's the best one.
- [Ben] What?
- [Jon] It's a cat bonnet!
(laughter)
Self-explanatory,
it's a bonnet for your cat.
You ever wanted to put a bonnet on your cat?
Now you can.
- [Joey] And you've got so many cats that, yeah.
- [Jon] I have zero cats,
so this is perfect for me.
I'm also allergic to them,
so yeah, it's wonderful.
It says, "Cats love it,"
which I don't know how you prove that.
- [Joey] The cat on the back looks terrified.
- [Kelsey] It looks so scared.
(laughter)
- [Maddie] You should try it on, Jon.
- [Ben] Yeah, let me see that.
- [Jon] I guess we can demonstrate.
Oh yeah.
This is not going to fit, guys.
This is meant for felines.
I guess it goes this way.
Laura Ingalls Wilder over here.
So go ahead and fight over this, guys.
- [Ben] That is peak "so dumb it's awesome."
- [Adam] It is.
- [Jon] If I saw a cat wearing this,
I would be like,
"Yeah, that cat gets it."
- [Ben] So we've got some good gifts left here.
We've got the cat bonnet.
I'm just sitting right next to it.
Here's the thing, though.
I've always like the gorilla grabber.
I'm tired of having to reach for things.
- [Joey] Yeah, that top shelf.
- [Ben] It's 2019.
I legitimately think this is a funny toy.
I like it.
It's got an impressive strength to it too.
So I'm happy with the gorilla grabber.
- [Adam] Alright.
- [Ben] This one's mine.
- [Joey] Adam.
- [Adam] What?
- [Joey] Give it back.
- [Adam] You want this back?
It is not the same round,
so technically you can take this.
Alright.
- [Joey] Bring it on over.
- [Jon] Re-steal. Wow.
- [Adam] Re-steal.
So because Joey stole from me,
and I can't steal because
we're not allowed more than two steals per round,
I have to pick one on the table.
Which one do I want to open?
- [Jon] Are you a stripes man or a dots man?
- [Adam] I'm a dots man all the way.
(laughter)
This is pretty great actually.
- [Jon] It's pretty awesome.
- [Adam] This is the confetti high five.
- [Ben] What are we going to demo this on?
Does anyone have a hand free that we can demo this on?
- [Adam] Confetti high five is awesome.
What you basically do is,
it comes with five of these little shooters
that you kind of load.
- [Jon] High fiving someone is already
a sign of awesomeness,
but this just--
- [Adam] This takes it up a notch.
(cheering)
(tinkling)
Nice!
So yeah, it launches confetti.
(laughter)
- [Jon] Yeah, you can just high five yourself if you want.
- [Adam] Yeah, you can just clap and you're set.
Karrie, you are up.
- [Karrie] I'm really digging this boho feather packaging.
- [Jon] Are you sure?
Because this could be a dog bonnet.
- [Karrie] I could.
I do have some dogs.
They would love it.
Yay!
- [Jon] I've always wondered what this smells like.
- [Karrie] So we have the "Elon Musk"
air freshener for you car.
So if you ever want to know what that smells like.
- [Jon] Specifically "Elon's Musk."
- [Karrie] "Elon's Musk."
I don't mind that.
Hopefully it smells good.
- [Jon] Does it smell like space or--
- [Adam] Space or a car?
- [Karrie] What is it, a Tesla?
It seems I have also gotten a bonus gift.
- [Ben] The golden ticket.
- [Adam] So Maddie you have the option to steal,
or take the final gift.
- [Maddie] So there's two gifts in the running right now
that are already out that I had my eye on,
and I can't decide.
The tortilla blanket is freaking awesome
because I love burritos
and I would love to be a burrito.
(laughter)
I have a cat and he would hate that,
but I would love it.
- [Jon] Perfect.
- [Maddie] I think I'm going to go with the cat bonnet.
- [Jon] Yeah!
- [Maddie] Because cats are adorable,
- [Ben] Surprise steal.
- [Maddie] And Oscar would hate this.
(laughter)
- [Adam] Alright, Jon.
What's it going to be?
You either get the option to steal,
or you can take the final gift.
- [Jon] I've got to know what's in here.
- [Adam] Okay.
- [Ben] Who knows how dumb the last gift could be?
- [Joey] It could be the dumbest one yet.
- [Jon] Oh no.
Okay.
It's an otamatone.
- [Adam] Now you can do us all a favor,
and just pretend like you played it.
- [Ben] Yeah, we don't have to hear it.
- [Adam] We don't need to hear this.
- [Jon] This is like the world's most annoying instrument,
but it's kind of endearing at the same time.
So you kind of have to squeeze these little cheeks there,
and get them kind of talking while you--
(squeaking noises)
Now you can actually play this thing,
believe it or not,
but it doesn't sound great.
(squeaking continues)
- [Ben] It sounds like it's dying.
- [Adam] Yeah.
- [Ben] Pretty dumb.
- [Adam] Joey, you have the option now
to steal any gift from anybody
and trade with that person.
- [Joey] I like the Elon's Musk
and I really like the tortilla blanket,
but I think I'm going to steal the otamatone.
- [Jon] No!
Alright, that makes more sense in your hands than mine.
- [Joey] Yeah, I mean I play guitar,
but this is something very different.
I don't know if I can make it sound like anything.
It's so weird.
Maybe I'll get good at it.
I'll practice in the office,
maybe treat you guys.
- [Jon] Maybe just take it home.
Just take it home.
We're good.
(high pitched squeak)
- [Kelsey] Oh, Joey.
- [Adam] Joey, we're good.
Jon, would you like to steal,
or are you going to keep what you have.
- [Jon] Gosh, I love this thing so much.
I think it would be really fun,
but I wanna see someone else receive a potato in the mail,
so I'm going to send them the potato parcel.
- [Adam] Alright.
And we'll give this to Kelsey.
- [Kelsey] Thank you.
- [Joey] You can add that to the blanket collection.
- [Kelsey] I know.
- [Joey] Or you can steal.
- [Kelsey] I really want the confetti high five thingy.
- [Adam] Really?
Well you know what?
I want that blanket so this is a fair trade.
- [Kelsey] There we go.
- [Adam] I am happy.
Alright, guys.
Well, because I love this gift so much
and I'm not going to steal,
we're going to move on to the bonus round.
So Kelsey and Karrie,
you guys have got to decide amongst yourselves
which one of these gifts you want.
Now one is great,
or dumb,
or great,
awesome.
The other is maybe a little less awesome.
The choice is yours.
- [Karrie] Just go for it?
I'm picking the one right in front of me.
- [Kelsey] This always makes me nervous.
Like I'm excited to open a present
until I find out it's potentially not good,
and then I'm like, "Ahhh."
- [Joey] I don't know why I'm like leaning away.
I feel like something's going to pop out of there.
- [Kelsey] I know, it makes me scared.
- [Joey] What do you got?
Oh yeah!
The Fondoodler.
- [Kelsey] It's a cheese gun.
- [Joey] So it's like a hot glue gun but for cheese.
- [Ben] That is pretty dumb and pretty awesome.
So that means Karrie.
- [Karrie] You know, I don't--
I'm not even sure.
It looks like it's a used dumdum.
Clearly someone had opened this and
maybe took a giant chunk out of it.
- [Jon] It's a half eaten dumdum.
- [Karrie] Oh that's great.
I'm a dumdum?
- [Adam] We have so many more amazingly dumb gifts
over at Vat19.com so go check it out.
(crunch)
This guy just ate a potato.
Jon, you're supposed to mail that not eat it.
- [Jon] That was a bad choice.
- [Adam] Yeah.
Does it taste like dirt.
- [Jon] Yeah.
