I love how during the interviews Kurtis pretended like he didn’t know the exact lines of the ad
-
The fact that they replied to the email when the company doesn’t even exist anymore is impressive. I don’t even reply to emails and I currently exist.
-
Saw a tiktok about a 90's chair, proceeded to make a 1 hr documentary about it... Now that is what we call 10% Plastic, 90% Attitude moment right there
-
The ending reminded me of that story on reddit where the guy replayed an old racing video game that still had the ghost car that kept the record his dad's loop around the track. after his dad passed away the guy didn't play the game for ages. and upon replaying it years later he raced against his dad again and stopped right before the finish line so his dad's memory was stored in the game
-
Fuck me, a one hour video about a 90s video game chair ending with a unexpected reflection on grief is fucking wild.
-
Imagine making a commercial for some random toy in 1999 and then in 2024 some youtuber asks to interview you for a video about it. That would literally be the highlight of my life if it was me.
-
Man I did not expect to cry while watching a video about a gaming chair from the 90s. Grief is weird, one minute you can feel awesome and the next it feels like your world's ending. I lost my mom almost 4 years ago and I'm still messed up, this made me think of her in the best way possible.
-
I love that Kurt felt comfortable enough to show himself being vulnerable in a video, a lot of people only show the happy, smiley side, but it really shows that people online are 3D
-
i couldn't have expected so much humanity from a video about a 90s gaming chair. the joy, the pursuit, the grief, the 10% plastic and 90% attitude
-
"Youtuber talks about an odd or obscure topic, only to dive into a wild and elaborate rabbit hole that leads to solid 90s treasure" is a genre of video I am so happy is becoming more common lmao
-
i found an empty plastic box of RF connectors the other day and cried like a baby because it reminded me of all the hours i spent talking with my gramps about engineering. to anyone else, its just a piece of 40 year old trash. to me and my gramps it was a part of the career we shared. i haven't even been in a lab in years now and i still find RF connectors laying around my place
-
I lost my mom to cancer 4 years ago and those moments of grief hit you so hard and fast out of no where. Made me cry myself, just wanna hug it out with you. The hurt doesn't go away but it gets easier to hold.
-
The way this went from “silly retro chair haha” to crying in the club 😭 great video kurtis and you keeping it so real means a lot
-
Catherine: talking about her success as a film maker Kurtis: yeah super cool....sooooo about the VIDEOGEAR COMMAND CENTER
-
49:26 “Call me a dog in a car on a hot day.. cause I’m LOCKED in” bark bark “let me out..“
-
Man, I lost both of my parents, and it just hits you out of nowhere. Thank you for leaving that part in because it really does feel nice to see other people coping with grief, doing something fun, and suddenly crying and feeling like a crazy person.
-
I love the 90s advertising tactic of vaguely insulting you
-
during both interviews kurtis pretending he didn’t know the commercial by heart is such a funny underlying aspect
-
the ammount of chill and good vibes between the mom and the kid (now grown woman) is just amazing. I love how nice they were about it all.
-
I have been a fan for years (and have been to a show of yours) and this is hands down the best video you've ever made. It was funny and light while also archiving a moment in time, and your poignant reflections on grief at the end was equally comforting and real. Thank you, and I hope to see more journalistic style content from you
