Ultimate Balance

cool

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Danny-"You already know where this is going"
Me-"Di-"
Danny- (puts in on top of his head)

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

"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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

shrodingers bracelet: the bracelet is simultaneously working and not working

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

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.

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

Danny always looks photoshopped into wherever he is

Danny single-handedly keeping Power Balance in business

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

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

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

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

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

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

"With great power comes great balance" -THE BATMAN

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

ah yes, eastern philosophies
"this wristband's hologram will provide you with the ultimate balance"
- sun tzu, the art of war

apple: “WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN”

17:11 I saw that going a different way

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.

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

POV: You’ve headed to the comments to try and write something funny while you’re still using 11% of your brain power

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

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 ⚰️⚰️

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

Danny should remove the stickers from the bracelets and stick them all over himself to achieve pure and ultimate power

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

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

Should have just titled this:
"Placebo Bracelet: The Movie"

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

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

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

Let’s together scam

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

Wait til this guy hears about acupuncture

Plot twist: he’s actually sponsored by irenew bracelets

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

I was stressed he was gonna fall and hit his head on that table during the balancing part 😂

The power balance bracelet is a true testament to human gullibility. Not being able to push someone over is a center of gravity trick that's been around for hundreds of years, so the company scammed thousands of people with a literal carnival act.

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

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

Real missed opportunity for Greg-themed hologram wrist bracelet merch

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

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

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” 🥺😢😢

"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

7:47 : he missed a good joke "she never fell for me"

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

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

7:48 This is freakishly relatable 😂😂😂

the way my smile dropped when he said he had 30 of them

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

Honestly, should have tried without the bracelets again afterwards.

this feels like an item in an rpg

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 😂)
