Outlines
π₯ Flamethrower Showdown: Price vs. Performance
In this segment, the video script details a comparison between expensive and cheap flamethrowers available on Amazon. The host tests various flamethrowers, including a $24 model and a $400 model, to determine if there's a significant difference in performance. Using a thermal camera and conducting tests like cooking a steak and melting 100 ml of liquid, the video explores if the higher price tag equates to better results. The $400 flamethrower, dubbed 'Red Dragon,' shows promise but the $24 model also performs surprisingly well, leading to the conclusion that the price difference may not always reflect performance superiority.
π‘οΈ Shield Durability Test: Captain America vs. Budget Buckle
This part of the script features a durability test between a $500 Captain America shield and a $5 Buckle Shield. The test includes offensive strikes and defensive capabilities against various objects, such as ice, sand, cinder blocks, and more. The $5 shield surprisingly holds up well against the challenges, even protecting against the sand and cinder blocks without turning red, which indicates 'death' in the test scenario. However, the Captain America shield fails to protect against a cinder block drop, leading to the conclusion that the cheaper shield might be a worthy alternative.
π₯Ά Stanley Cup Coolness Challenge: Price and Preservation
The script describes an experiment to test the insulation properties of Stanley Cups, comparing a $100 version with a $12 alternative. The test involves hitting the cups to check for durability and then subjecting them to a car crash scenario where a fire occurs. The $12 version surprisingly does not melt, even when the handle does, indicating that it might be just as effective at keeping drinks cool as the more expensive version. The test concludes that the cheaper cup performs similarly to the Stanley Cup in terms of insulation, despite the difference in price.
π‘οΈ Sword Sharpness Test: Affordable vs. Luxurious Blades
In this section, the script outlines a test of sharpness between a $30 katana and a $1,000 katana. The $30 sword is found to be sharper according to a measuring machine, but the $1,000 sword performs better in cutting tests, slicing through paper and water bottles more cleanly. The script also humorously suggests that the expensive sword might contain a 'demon' or the 'soul of Bezos' due to its performance. The final verdict is that the $1,000 sword is not worth the price when compared to the cheaper alternative.
ποΈ Mattress Mayhem: Jumping and Dropping for Durability
The script presents a series of tests on mattresses, comparing a $1,500 model with a $40 one. Tests include jumping on the mattresses to see if grape juice spills and dropping various weights to check for damage. The $40 mattress surprisingly withstands the tests, including a stunt professional jumping from a height. The $1,500 mattress also fares well, but the final verdict is that the cheaper mattress offers similar performance at a fraction of the cost, making it a better value.
π¦ Moon Shoes vs. Kangaroo Stilts: Leaping for Height
This part of the script features a competition between $30 Moon Shoes and $300 Kangaroo Stilts to determine which allows for a higher jump. The host and a friend jump without the devices first, then test the Moon Shoes and Kangaroo Stilts, finding that the latter provides a slight height advantage. Balance and speed tests follow, with the Kangaroo Stilts winning the balance test but the Moon Shoes coming out on top in speed. The final verdict is that the Kangaroo Stilts are worth the investment for those who can afford them.
π€ Robotic Dog Rumble: High-Tech Hounds Showdown
The script concludes with a playful battle between a cheap robot dog and a $4,000 high-end model. The robots perform tricks, agility tests, and affection displays, with the cheaper robot dog showing surprising capabilities. The script ends with a humorous 'death' of both robots, followed by a shout-out to the company that provided the robots. The final verdict is that the high-end robot dog is worth the price for its impressive performance and features.

Transcripts
I bought some of the most expensive
items on Amazon Chase and I will be
testing the most expensive versions
versus the cheapest versions to find out
if they're actually better and at the
end we'll find out if the price tags are
worth it or a total scam starting with
is this $24 flamethrower just as
powerful as this $400 flamethrowers we
have a little thermal camera going on
over here just show me the torch YouTube
don't worry we have safety experts on
standby for any issues this is a close
set oh sick keep it perfectly still we
got up to 300 on the 20 $4 torch which
is not bad but I really want to test out
the red dragon right that's
hot come on that's got to be hotter 302
I don't think that this infrared camera
goes higher than 302 but which one can
cook a steak better ready 3 2
one oh now this is looking good oh look
do you hear
that all I'm going to Max mine out
that's it I mean do you hear this thing
sizzling still and I will say this is a
heavy backpack the red dragon definitely
as heavy as Nolan's
mom third video in a row yep and now
it's time to see which flamethrower
cooked the middle of the steak the best
this could be a skill issue thing though
you're very good at making St oh mine's
rough now this is what they call the
Pittsburgh Blue it is
edible so works for a 30C steak that is
not bad now it's time for the Melt test
which one of these can melt 100 ml
liquid faster 3 2 1 let it
melt oh

already can you you pour mine out you
have the gloves yeah there we go oh
beautiful beautiful okay St you botched
it hey I'm just saying right now we look
at cups there's a big difference that is
a sample but Preston was it worth it 3 2
1 it's worth it it's worth it can this
$50 compound bow beat this
$450 Arrow Gat which one of these is
more
accurate oh what the I've never used a
strap before hold on let me you
mine oh oh Bullseye dude I could have
done better I think H the plus
BR ready 3 two
[Music]
one chase at least you have the Run
height this time stop walking with

[Music]
[Applause]
God I'm done we still need it next test
oh there's another test
yep all right now we get to see which
one is more powerful starting with
foam yes wow actually so much better I
mean I got full belief that this is
going right through R
this we don't we don't need to even say
which one's more powerful at this point
hey we don't know oh wait a second not
bad 1 2 3 4 that's like 5 in but not
good hey five Ines can be good now we
get to move on to
cardboard je oh hey that's pretty good
man yeah you're just not getting that
out huh I mean the fact that it did this
I really think that wood could stop it
time for the
wood all right
[Music]
Preston oh what the wiggle power for the
first time it did not poke on the other
side honestly mine didn't go that much
deeper than Chase's if you get a side by
side you could probably like measure
this
out wow the moment you've all been
waiting for tempered glass this is what
they use in car windows Preston for
inspiration there we go Preston this is
your target the most beautiful man in
the world I can hit that and I can I can
fix that and three two one
[Music]
wait did he get it oh no no right in my
eyeball well well well the power test
dude I do not see that happening the
question is is it worth it 3 2 1 it's
worth
it yep very worth it this is honestly
the best item we have ever purchased
let's say this $500 Captain America
shield versus this $5 Buckle Shield SL
hat it it is kind of a hat a first the
offense test all right so this is my
sword hand this my protective hand psych
I'm going to attack with it
h that's pretty good pretty
[Music]
good I loosened it I didn't expect that
I did not expect
that come on now we can we find to the
Defense 3 2
[Music]
1 oh I don't up and went all the way
through dude it's protruding didn't it
touch the ice let's
see it did not that would genuinely
protect you Captain America has got a
lot to prove here yep oh God I don't
trust Chase now this is where it gets
more scary okay ready yep I love you cap
going penetrate the C yes oh press no I
missed the ice oh look at that I missed
the ice but it definitely did not
protect anything behind it yeah you're
going to you're going to die uh by the
way on the drop test if these shock
tests turn red that means you're dead
and we're going to see if the shields
will block them starting with
sand oh uh I mean it looked like it was
good it is it's definitely not red so
it's it's safe Captain America versus
sand 3 2
1 Jee oh wow let's see wait The Shield
cracked it saved it but look at the
shield oh I see it look at this crack
don't I didn't oh I did it a little more
you did do that yeah you did caps not
safe for me what are we dropping next p
Ah cinder blocks you might want to step
back this one this is heavy don't miss
three two
[Music]
one oh my flying saer dude it's white
it's not red still protected it wow
let's see what the damage is touchdown
oh it barely scratched it you know
Captain's about to shatter right now oh
yeah all right uh mom nothing
happen there we go mom will not know
next pluging hes all right captain 3 2
[Music]
1 it could still work it could still be
protected dude that was the coolest
thing I've ever seen the answer is it's
red yeah and The Shield is basically
destroyed well we have one more thing to
drop right that's right Captain
America's shield couldn't withstand the
cinder block let's see if our cheap
Shield could pass the final test it's a
45 lb wait wait wait wait wait wait
oh my God I was standing there just for
that reason there's no way that thing is
not red there's no damage Che the red I
wonder what it is wait honestly wait
it's bleeding from the back it's dead
wow but is it worth it 3 2 1 not worth
it this is the biggest scam just like
every Marvel
movie except for the Iron Man franchise
are $100 Stanley Cups actually as
durable as everybody says they are or is
this $12 version more
durable that is sturdy
dude okay wait let me get some hits on
you not even like a dent okay put it
down all right
Stanley to be fair it did Dent if I hit
ears that
hard okay that's what happened huh
Stanley is a little bit more durable but
which one's going to keep the drinks
more cool oh fair so there was a car
crash where the car caught on fire and
the Stanley Cup still had ice in it no
way so we're going to put this through
the same kind of test all right you hear
that I that's the noise that makes the
wild girls go
crazy so I don't know how long I guess
we're going to do a few minutes here
just to see if the ice melts I can't say
I've ever done something like this can
you spell uh iup I
see oh that one's catching on fire oh
you're straws out your Straw's melting
no uhoh now it's a Bendy straw that's
all right put it down what's up oh
that's just the the paper and it's still
on fire YouTube don't worry we have
safety experts on standby for any issues
this is a close set all right Shake
test yeah they both still sound like
they have ice in them and we put the
same amount of ice in each
cup I I'm just getting ice there wasn't
a drop of liquid in this Stanley Cup
let's test the $12
version no liquid that's crazy it didn't
melt I mean the handle melted off look
at that oh well again this proves the
Stanley's more durable but when it comes
to keeping liquid cool they're the same
wow now this is where things get really
hot this is the th000 degree forage I
really want to see the ice melt jeez
push it in push like you give them both
okay now you literally just let it cook
I see the flame what we do I don't know
man 3 2 1 let's see
oh o wow Preston please it's Preston
place so tired of that joke let's put it
in all right let's take it out all right
let's see how much water we have okay
there's some water oh that's a good
amount We have basically 100 m exactly
and there's still freaking ice in here
okay let's see how much water is in here
oh that's a lot of water not 100 m yet
though I Stanley knockoff barely a tiny
amount Less in this wow should we talk
about it let's talk about it 3 2 1 not
worth it I can't believe people are
buying these all right y'all wasting
your
[Music]
money oh nice the basement dwell's item
of preference the cheapest sword on
Amazon is 30 bucks but this this is
$11,000 oh
my oh D look at that look at the r all
right let's meile open the $30
also my Hilt is plastic but the real way
to test this is to see if the $30 Katana
is more sharp than the $1,000 Katana all
right let's see how sharp the $30 Katana
is and we have this machine to measure
sharpness the lower the number the
sharper the sword is 780 all right
that's enough for reference a good
kitchen knife is like 300 please tell me
that sharper if it's not we wasted so
much
money oh 445 twice as sharp but 33 times
more expensive hey let's just test this
out on some actual targets how many
pieces of paper can it cut starting with
one that was the most unsatisfying cut
of my life lame all right time for the
,000
sword a little bit of a little bit of a
cleaner cut all right now we have 10
pieces of
paper oh we have like a tiny tiny little
micro cut $1,000 sword versus 10 pieces
of paper
so much better so much better listen
I've watched a lot of anime now I know
how to swing a sword just
saying $1,000 sword versus a 100 pieces
of paper I'm
ready you see how thick this is it's not
thick enough to cut a demon's neck cuz
I'm a demon look at my neck all right
time for the water bottle test we're
going to count it down all right 3 2 1
[Music]
now that was clean you missed one what
this actually looked like it cut better
than yours no this is a very clean cut
compared to that side I missed three
you're right all right now we get to see
did they hold their sharpness this was
780 oh how is it sharper it's actually
more sharp than the ,000 SW cursed maybe
it's a demon inside the sword the soul
of Bezos is in this sword Let's test the
th000 sword if this is less than 405 I'm
going to absolutely crack up here we
go
485 what was the original 445 is it
worth it $1,000 wors $30 3 2 1 not worth
it not worth it not even close humans
spend a third of their life asleep so
this is a $1,500 mattress and is it
worth it compared to a $40 mattress all
right now we are going to see if any
grape juice spills when we jump on our
mattress we've all seen this in the
commercials all I'm going to start with
a baby step baby
step oh wait two steps oh barely even
stepped on it man two steps it's out now
the big Mattress One Step this is
already more right side up okay okay now
approach got little jiggle all right I'm
going to jump from here
[Music]
[Applause]
way better though than the $40 mattress
it's still good do we have any other
tests oh yeah the drop test we have the
censor beneath the mattress we're going
to drop things on top of it to see if it
turns red what happened to that mat
that's what happens if you don't
subscribe you know what I mean bowling
ball St oh that was a good what wow come
on bowling ball
please all right let's see if anything's
dead okay I guess we got to go heavier
spare me
next test 45 lb weight this is three
times heavier than the bowling B I can't
even pick that
up RI the mattress no all right red is
dead what 45 lb
weight I'm not testing we got to check
it
now none of them are red I got one thing
left
Chase mace W
do that might minute or is this $40
mattress is goated $40 test
oh finally but will it work on the $1500
mattress I that I did hear it touch the
concrete but it was so gentle let's see
if anything's Dead come on no Reds none
look at that it's time for the final
weit Johnny is our trained stunt

speed test I'll count us down 3 2 1
go yeah boy that's a
be gosh suck it but now are they worth
it well well well now the big question
is are they worth
it not worth it no those are not worth
it these are worth it I can see myself
