cool

This is literally just like the premise of those childrens books where the protagonist has a pair of "magic ballet shoes" or a necklace or whatever that helps them perform. But then it turns out that really, the magic was inside them all along!

I put on ten of these bracelets and now I can’t lie down cause my balance is to good

I remember in middle school asking some boys (with complete sincerity) how the power balance bracelets worked and they got mad at me when they couldn’t clearly explain what it did lol

This feels like a 2 Danny 2 Furious video. It just needs a La Croix.

Me whenever I wrote an essay in school: "Conclusion: I don't know."

"What does it do?" "It's based on eastern philosophies." Oh right. How silly of me to ask.

quietly whispering to himself “wait $20 times 30 equa- YO WTF THIS MAN SPENT $600 ON POWER BALANCE”

I'm a math teacher teaching statistics this term. This video has inspired me to write one of my final exam questions about the power balance bracelet and the placebo effect.

i do cheerleading and a girl on my team has one of these... let's just say it doesn't work AT ALL

The bracelet only has a 10 year life span and that’s why 2020 is so bad because everyone’s bracelets wore off

I'm so glad you recognized the progress was because you just practiced and not from the wristbands

I think it's like a Placebo. Your body is convinced that it's supposed to be better at balancing because that's what the wristbands say they do, and so it just....forces itself to balance better

having a random guy in sunglasses saying "it's gonna be my next secret" is probably the creepiest way to advertise a bracelet

"We harnessed naturally occurring frequencies into a mylar hologram." He just said colors. Colors are naturally occurring frequencies. They put colors in their color thingy.

I had a friend who wore the power balance wristband, and when I was “able” to prove that it didn’t work, by making him lose balance, he said “well the reason it didn’t work is because I took it off and it takes 10 minutes”. After 10 minutes I was able to make him lose balance. To be fair I pushed him out of the blue, but he did technically lose balance. So I have doubts.

as an Asian, we learn how to have ultimate balance from the moment we're out of the womb. i myself were the most balanced baby my family have ever seen. balance baby.

Danny I would like at least three more subjects to participate in your sample group to ensure an untampered or influenced result. I await the results of your study.

“Is it a science thing” “Yes, the placebo effect”

Danny standing on the balance thing wrong kills me every time.

I’m east of America (UK) and can confirm; we have perfect balance and it’s in all of our philosophies.

Being a child: Gets launched from trampoline, goes up in the air 15 feet, hits the hard ground, and walks it off just fine Being an adult: I bent over and touched my toes and now I’m seeing stars and my back is broken

These kinds of products all go in one category: P L A C E B O

the thing that Danny said about his bike is actually partly true. We associate certain concepts with certain senses, like the motorcycle sound that Danny's bike made. Because motors are typically faster than a bodily-powered mechanical function, and motors make that specific noise, it tells our brain that it goes faster. Kind of like a response to a TV released in the 2010s. Basically, after release, everybody claimed that the remote felt too cheap and they didn't like it, making people not buy their product. The way that they fixed this was that they added a weight into the remotes, making no other changes to the design, and then relaunching the weighted variety. Immediately, the complaints dissolved, and all the lighter remotes were discarded. People associated the heavier weight higher quality, metal>plastic, etcetera, etcetera, but useless things like that still have a place in association,, even now that they're unnecessary.

Man I remember these. I remember even like legit athletes fell for these. I remember wanting one, not because I thought it would do anything (from the very moment I heard of them, I knew they were bull crap and just stickers) but because I just thought they looked cool lmao. Like a novelty.

"how can a bracelet possibly make you stronger?" Danny's clearly never seen ben 10

Ngl Danny looks kinda cute with all that balance he's wearing.

Wonder if Danny has ever watched Penn & Teller’s Bullshit. I loved that show. It put so many things like this on blast. They opened what was supposed to be this exclusive restaurant that offered all of these crazy types of water that were either filled with certain minerals or that came from some glacier or something. They sold these bottles of water for astronomical prices and the customers could also taste test them. The customers would explain how they differed from one another and how they preferred “this” one to “that” one. Thing is…every single bottle of water they served………had been filled with water using a garden hose at the back door of the restaurant. Such a good show.

3:14 damn he has a plate full of criminals?

I love how they are selling the placebo effect as a bracelet

plot twist: danny's energy field was so huge he just always had the effects of the band

Drew: “You can’t deny east” Flat earthers: “ I’m about to end this mans whole career”

30 bands? 4 dates? Danny you’re getting too powerful

What if we thought they were talking about Asia, but "Eastern Philosophies" actually refers to New Jersey

He really missed a great opportunity when he was talking about his crush having the holographic pencil case and her having great balance to say “I never saw her fall... for me” 🥺😢😢

as a basketball player who has, on multiple occasions, fallen suddenly while dribbling, yes balance is key

The thing is- the bracelets do help your balance, strength, etc, but not for the reason you think. They are basically better looking anti-morning sickness bracelets. What these do is since they are tight on your wrist and they press on where your veins are, you are just generally more tensed up and aware of what's around you because of the mild discomfort it causes.

Balance baby **Kurtis rushes through holding a baby on his finger**

Customers giving their testimonials: The spokesperson: I’m a little lost, but fair enough

I know this is an old video now, but actually balance is probably one of the most important aspects/abilities in most sports I’d say. Balance is an underrated skill, it goes hand in hand with agility

15:20 For some reason I laugh every time about the way he says the 8th mississipi

danny: imagine if i had thirty of these me: he didn’t...he didn’t...he wouldn’t have danny: i bought thirty of these

“In conclusion...idk”. Me trying to summarize literally any point I make

3:19 i was eating soup when he said that and looked down at my soup with pure horror

the funny thing is, someone did make a parody video making fun of these bracelets back in the day. He then went on to become the lead singer of twenty one pilots.

"Imagine if I had 30 of these" Depressed look on Danny's face Me: please no...

the government is gonna be super confused when danny writes off 30 wristbands as a work expense

15:28 ........ thats what she said

So holo improves balance and strength? No wonder Ben is always nervous when Cristine does a nail art video (every 100 years)

*Me* : sees title *My brain, in Kurtis Conners voice* : bAlAnCe bAbY

Danny going: "In conclusion.....I dunno know?" Is the same energy as the Power Balance bracelet saying "You decide what our product does."

He looks like the boss of the miles morales in the game that locks you up

In norse mythology, Thor uses bracelets that increases his strenght to be able to lift Mjolnir. Maybe he was using the power balance bracelets

they shouldve advertised that you needed one for each wrist so it “balances’’

"With great power comes great balance" -THE BATMAN

17:11 I saw that going a different way

“And for the last one, you already know where this shits gunna go baby” Me: 👁️👄👁️

Holo has many powers, like: •shiny •rainbow And •bALaNcE

Danny with all those wristbands looks like a mid 2000s goth kid

I love how when Danny figured how to balance by turning it horizontally without the bracelet he looked and sounded like a little kid showing their mom how long they can balance on one leg.

The guy working in the restaurant seems less nervous and more like he is just very engaged with his job, which seems pretty busy at that moment. Restaurant kitchens can be a very high stress environment, but some people feed and thrive off of that energy, he seems like one of those types.

i keep forgetting that Danny is actually married because he looks like a teenager

Danny single-handedly keeping Power Balance in business

I live in Mississippi so hearing Danny say it so much feels cool to be acknowledged :D

"In conclusion... I dunno." *me at the end of every essay in high school*

therapist: celebrity big forehead danny isn't real, he can't hurt you celebrity big forehead danny:

2:47 HOW DOES HE WINK SO SMOOTHLY HOLY CRAP-

"You already know where this one is going." Oh, my god, he's gonna put it on his--! [Puts it on his head] ... Oh.

Drew’s videos: ok let’s talk about these weird old TV movies and videos Danny’s videos: I bought 30 wristbands that help me balance

Danny always looks photoshopped into wherever he is

I'm sick at the moment and I laughed so hard I tasted blood in my mouth. haha

The “seeing stars” thing is just something that happens sometimes. Usually, you’ll see very dark green dots coming in and out of your vision. Also, when he said “I do have more. I have thirty of them.” I felt like he was gonna get cancer

Danny’s 6th grade crush watching this: “wait I had a pencil case like that”

I'm from East (India) and i can confirm that we learn how to balance better in our schools. It is one of our most sacred philosophies

17:07 Where’d my innocence go?? Why did my mind go there when he said “you know where this one’s gonna go baby” 😭😭 (If you understand what I was thinking i apologize 😂)

I remember wanting one and my dad said it was the dumbest thing ever 😂😂 "wouldn't need that in the military" and he was rightthat time too ⚰️⚰️

"Based on Eastern philosophies" is just another way of saying "Ancient Chinese Secret".

when he took out the power balance bracelet the little “paid promotion” thing showed up and it looked like he was sponsored by them lol

12:50 danny nooo, that’s how you break your ankleee

"harness naturally occurring frequencies and program them into a mylar hologram" i looked up mylar hologram and i got that shiny fabric material used in those sparkly animal themed lunchboxes for children

Plot twist: he’s actually sponsored by irenew bracelets

Seeing that you actually have 30 of them made me actually cry of laughter

the smart thing about their marketing is that it makes the people feel more capable, which makes their success rate go up. So that way, they’ll tell people about it and those people will buy it and the cycle continues. smart.

Is this why ive never seen simply nailogical lose her balance?

shrodingers bracelet: the bracelet is simultaneously working and not working

i love how danny’s skits either turn into a romcom or some kind of murder mystery.

10:25 yeah I think it's based on this: In China, All of the buildings are like shaped and planned to reflect 正能量（不是电）(good energy) and apperently it boosts productivity or smthn so I am pretty sure that they are talking about that

I ran into one of these scammers a couple years ago at a state fair. I was walking through all the sales booths to see what kind of nonsense was being peddled. One booth was selling "ion bracelets". I never heard of ion bracelets before, but the advertising screamed "psuedoscience". I told my girlfriend I wanted to investigate, and told her to follow my lead. We walked up to the booth and I asked the lady what ion bracelets were. She told me people don't have enough ions, and it negatively impact our health. She asked me to guess how many ions the average person has, then told me the supposed answer - saying we need about 10x the number of ions. I don't know what ions are but... I don't think that's how they work. Then, she made a HUGE mistake. She told me to stand on one leg and to hold out my arm. She pushed down on it, I lost balance. She put the bracelet on, pushed down again, but that time I stayed upright. When she began continuing her sales pitch, I interrupted her, "Oh wow, that's a new one to me! Here's one I like." I told my girlfriend to put her hands behind her back and cup them together. I pressed down on her hand and she lost balance. The woman said, "I don't like to use that one, it can hurt people's backs." I told her not to worry. Then I said "Now all I have to do is say is 'abra kadabra gobbledy gook'." I pushed down and... she remained upright! The woman was silent, she knew I understood her game. I would have called her out, but I knew my girlfriend didn't want drama. So I bid the cunt farewell. It felt damn good. Later on, I learned how her balance trick worked, and tested it on some friends. I'll be better prepared in the future.

Don't eat the soup, there's blood in it.

Swear to god Danny, the only thing that reminds me you’re not a literal fourteen-year-old is the fact that you have an actual wife

Wait til this guy hears about acupuncture

9:06 Litteraly yesterday I was dribbeling a basketball and all of the sudden I tripped and fell. Even fractured my collar bone and goddamn I can tell you it hurts. I feel personally attacked danny. Guess I do need that power balance bracelet.

apple: “WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN”

*“You can’t deny an entire continent- or actually just an entire direction: east”* I cried

I think things like this are so successful bc it manipulates the mind into thinking that those things are real so it applies it to the body. Like hypnosis

18:32 I ACTUALLY CANNOTI CAN'T BRAETH I WAS LAUGHINGS O HATF MY MANGO FELL OUT OFF MY MOUTH I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYSD

“17 Mississippi. That’s more twice as many Mississippies.”

"asia has some kind of good abilities. put them in a braceltet" -the creator of these things, probably

this feels like an item in an rpg

If you suck at balancing and put on the power balance wrist bands, the following will happen: 1 Wrist band: -Gives you average balancing abilities 2 Wrist bands: -Gives you above average balancing abilities, and makes you a bit stronger 30 Wrist bands: -Makes you a near omnipotent immortal demigod who cannot fall over
