- What are we doing? - [Jono] Unboxing. One million subscriber special, Linus.
0:04
- A million subscriber special, you say. All right, well, let's just open this
0:08
with my trusted unboxing knife. (knife thuds)
0:12
(soft music)
0:16
- [Jono] The one million subscriber special. - How do you unbox that?
0:20
(Both laughing) - Oh, geez.
0:24
- Okay. - [Jono] Now, open it. - What is the, ah?
0:28
(Jono laughs) - Am I opening this with a pen? - [Jono] Yes. - Oh geez, I should have brought a knife.
0:31
Do you have a knife? - [Jono] Yes.
0:35
- What the crap is this? - What is this? - It's a compass!
0:38
- Oh yeah, yeah, I remember these things from like school. Although I didn't do that well in school,
0:41
but here I am. I don't need your thing.
0:45
- People who watch me know I never have a knife.
0:48
(grunts) (box thuds) - Oh, I broke the box, I'm sorry.
0:53
(ethereal music) - Hey, what do we got here?
0:58
- What are these? Are these, oh no. (Jono laughs)
1:01
- [Jono] They're comments, Colton. From all the videos. - And let me guess, you picked them.
1:06
- [Jono] Yes. - Oh, so these are all like top comments. Oh, that's fun.
1:10
- No one told you that you can print directly on cue cards? Look at this.
1:14
- [Jack] Ah, whatever. Jack (laughs).
1:17
- One million subscribers? I didn't even react when you said that Jono. Yay!
1:23
Yes (growling), yes! - Linus: I'm gonna retire.
1:26
Also, Linus: we have a new channel, lol. I did do that, didn't I?
1:30
- James was born to do unboxing videos, he brings a lot of energy that makes the video
1:34
so much more enjoyable to watch. That guy's wrong. - Alex: the power adapter is just off the wall.
1:39
Well, I think that's how power adapters work, Alex. Yes (laughs).
1:44
When you put it like that, a lot of things out of context sound pretty dumb.
1:48
- This is tech today says Brandon Lee watching Brandon Li talking about the camera
1:52
that we're both super interested in. (laughs) Yeah, I am assuming
1:55
that this is the other Brandon Lee tech YouTuber who also sometimes watches our ShortCircuit videos.
2:00
I've watched a couple of his videos. So Brandon Lees gonna stick together, right?
2:04
- I love Riley the most from the LTT team. He's so pure and wholesome.
2:08
Aww! I certainly appear pure and wholesome.
2:12
And that's what I try to do, so it's working. Haha, gotcha. (laughs)
2:17
- Dude, he's so hyped... He looks like a kid at Christmas.
2:20
Can you blame me? It's like the first time I got to unbox like a video game
2:25
that I was actually excited about, and it was like this amazing press edition.
2:29
It was literally better than like last 10 Christmases.
2:34
Take a sip every time he says 'nice'. (breath whooshes)
2:37
- Guy with the beard looks awfully similar to Linus from LTT. I can't tell if occasionally that comment is real.
2:43
I see the comment, but I don't know if the people are just being funny
2:47
or if some people actually are not sure.
2:50
- Whenever Colton lets out a hearty belly laugh I can't help but laugh.
2:53
(laughs) I can't, I can't.
2:56
- Riley laughing at his own jokes is the purest thing. (laughs)
3:01
And I will continue to laugh at my own jokes forever
3:05
because... why not? If no one else is gonna do it.
3:08
- Anthony has a God tier technical knowledge whenever he says, 'I think' it becomes a fact.
3:14
I don't know what to think about that (laughs). Most of my knowledge is basically self-taught.
3:19
I've more or less just all done it through experience. And I think the same is true for Linus.
3:24
- I was waiting for Linus to be the first person to ever drop a 3000 series GPU.
3:28
Did I? I didn't drop it in that video. - [Jono] No, no. He was just... - Yeah!
3:32
Not in the video. - Internet: MAC SUCKS. Anthony: Runs Windows, inside a VM on Windows,
3:37
on a Mac using Bootcamp. What? (laughs)
3:42
It's a good machine. The MacBook Pro 16 is actually a really nice machine.
3:46
It runs Windows like a champ. - Cranks color temperature almost all the way to cool.
3:51
The reds are pretty muted, and the greens are a bit too boosted. Okay, I...
3:56
thank you, Eric Sugrue, if that's your real name,
4:00
but also... they were.
4:03
- Wow look at all this rear IO! Doesn't show the rear IO.
4:07
I'm gonna blame you, David. - [David] I got shots of it. Blame the editor.
4:11
- Yeah, okay. - [David] Yeah, I got shots of it for sure.
4:14
- This is so true. Namarrkon says, I love how he points to everything
4:17
with his middle fingers. Yes, and I love your profile picture.
4:22
- Don't tell Riley he was killing bots. He was so excited. Yeah, I found out afterwards. (laughs)
4:27
Well, at the same time when I was playing that, I was like they're probably bots,
4:32
but I didn't really care, 'cause I was having a good time. You know what I mean?
4:35
- Damn, I didn't know he was a newfie. But then I heard him say 'harsh' and then I knew.
4:40
See that's the thing. Expatriated Newfoundlanders,
4:43
they basically communicate in code like that.
4:47
You only hear certain things, and because you're a Newfoundlander,
4:50
you know what to listen for. So when I say car or harsh or,
4:55
you know, how are you getting on? Oops. - [James] That's called dog whistling.
4:59
- I went too far into the skeet territory of being a Newfie. Anyway, yeah, that's kind of dog whistling,
5:04
but it's the good kind. - You guys might've noticed we had a bit of a uniform today.
5:07
This is the special edition ShortCircuit long sleeve.
5:12
Unfortunately, what makes it special edition is that the arms are a little bit on the long side,
5:17
so I would recommend it for lanky boys and girls only.
5:21
And we'll bring it back eventually, hopefully once we figure out a different garment,
5:25
but, yup, definitely long sleeves.
5:28
Go check it out lttstore.com. Once they're gone, they are gone for a long time.
5:33
Million subscribers, whoo! - Me: sees Linus.
5:37
Also me: 'This has James scent smeared all over it.' True, sorry about that.
5:41
(groans) I actually had a lot of faith in myself to be able to adopt Linus' mannerisms
5:46
and totally fool people. But when it came down to it,
5:50
I did a rookie move, and was like, David, we have an hour to shoot this.
5:53
Let's just do it. And instead I should've just waited till Monday,
5:57
spent the day, you know, practicing and I didn't,
6:01
and then all the comments were like, Oh, this is immediately James.
6:04
I can tell this is James. My actions are too like snappy. He does a lot of hand gestures,
6:08
but he does them kind of like slow, I guess. But, yeah, mine are always like, nah, nah, nah.
6:15
- Plot twist: this is the real Linus and the one with the beard is a computerized fake.
6:23
What's under this beard? - Colton: 'I'm 160 pounds.'
6:26
Me: 'Why would I care how much you cost,
6:30
(Jono laughs) I can't afford you or the chair anyway.'
6:34
(laughs)
6:37
Yeah, like weight pounds, not pounds pounds.
6:41
- 'We have to save something for the full review' translates as 'if anyone is going to break
6:46
this $10,000 laptop, it's going to be Linus, not me.' Actually, I still really want to do that.
6:51
It's absolutely terrifying. Ace has kind of showed me like the process a bit,
6:55
and it involves like this big hydraulic thing that comes in, it's like whomp, pulls off the screen,
6:59
I kinda wanna just want to YOLO it and like get some sponges in there. - I activated your Google Home.
7:04
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Look, okay,
7:09
Google devices are not the kind of thing
7:12
that we want to activate by accident. Hey, seriously. - Storm Riordan says, Every time I see Brandon
7:18
has a new camera related ShortCircuit, I shutter with excitement. Excellent use of the word shutter.
7:23
Ten out of ten pun. - Ben Schofield says, Honestly, I love when Riley
7:27
is in videos 'cause there's no knowing what he's gonna say next and it's hilarious.
7:31
Incredulity...
7:34
is a word that describes how... - Companies should be consistent.
7:37
Also Linus: 'I need small mice because I have small hands, but I also want a water bottle I can barely hold on to.'
7:43
Okay, I only brought the big one out because you guys asked for it.
7:47
lttstore.com. - This one's from the iMac unboxing by NoSwear.
7:52
having flashbacks at the last time Anthony was close to an iMac.
7:56
(Jono laughing) (Anthony breathes heavily) - I lost it when Colton yelled at Linus
8:00
about sitting on the chair before the sponsor segment. That was just so funny.
8:03
Yeah, that was funny. Cause Linus just ran in and he's like, What's going on?
8:06
Do you know what you're doing? Oh wow, look at this. And then he punctured a hole in the thing.
8:10
That was rough. - "Linus still using his note 9, he really did marry that phone."
8:14
Not anymore. Oh, well, yeah, okay, yes, this is it now,
8:18
but, but also I just got a Fold Z2. (whistling) (bell dings)
8:21
So stay tuned. That video is gonna be coming. Make sure you're subscribed.
8:25
One million is not enough. Is it just me or does Linus seem like he's way more blunt
8:29
in his recent videos?...definitely getting funnier. That's just me not really caring.
8:32
This is just like the (beep) tier channel. No offense, no offense everyone who works on this channel.
8:38
We don't even have the proper old gold play button.
8:41
Got the new like cheapo cost down one.
8:44
- Wife: Come watch Netflix with me. James: BUT IT'S ALMOST MY BED TIME!!!
8:47
Who told you? This is too real. (laughs) I get like notoriously grumpy after 9:00.
8:54
Everyone knows like, Oh, it's past his bedtime.
8:58
Don't talk to him. - Looks like Linus is going through a mid-life crysis.
9:01
Got 'em! - Thank you so much for subscribing.
9:04
That's amazing that we've made it to a million subscribers in such a short amount of time.
9:08
- Honestly, this channel has been one of the most fun things that LMG has done, because I've actually been able
9:13
to cover way more cameras than I've otherwise been able to cover on LTT.
9:17
- I just want to thank all you guys for all the comments that you leave for me
9:20
and for everybody else. I read all of mine at least. You seem to really like this format of the show,
9:25
and I like to do it, too. - Look at all these various people who watch our videos and subscribe.
9:30
There's a million of them out there probably, you know? - One million?
9:34
I never saw that coming, and I never saw it sneaking up so quickly
9:38
after TechLinked like that. And I'm pretty upset about it, actually.
9:42
Stop subscribing, if you wouldn't mind (laughs). - [David] No!
9:45
Love ya! - No, I'm not doing your sign off. I'm not thanking them.
9:49
I deserve all of it. (men laugh) No seriously though, thank you guys.
9:53
And more to come. You know it's never the end.
9:57
- Cue the ShortCircuit outro song ♪ ShortCircuit ♪
10:07
♪ Let's unbox, yeah ♪ (beep)
10:11
- [David] You know what they can subscribe to? - (laughs) What? - [David] Carpool Critics! - Carpool Critics movie podcast!
10:16
That's our logo. - [David] The Carpool Critic logo. - [Jono] That's a ShortCircuit shirt.
10:19
- [David] No, that's Carpool Critics. - See look, there's a "C" there. You can see it.
10:23
Editor, highlight two "C's" in there. Prove me right.
10:27
Or prove me a fool.
