GMM 1605: 1 Star vs. 5 Star Bed Bath & Beyond Product Test

To bed, bath, and beyond! – Let’s talk about that. (quirky upbeat music) – Good mythical morning! – And please welcome to the show, our new friend and the star of Disenchantment on Netflix, Abbi Jacobson. (applauding) Right here! – Welcome to the show! – Hi guys. What’s up? – Thanks for being here. – Thanks for having me. – Okay, now your character on Disenchantment is named Bean. I’m a bean man. Uh, what are your top three beans? – I mean, I love a garbanzo bean. – Ooh, nice, yeah, can become so many things. – [Abbi] Right? – Can become so many things. – They could be, it could become so many things. Okay, and then I really like the big bean, the big white bean. (laughing) – The big white? – Like a lima? – Got somebody. No, maybe it’s called an elephant bean. – Oh, the elephant bean. – Beans have nothing to do with this episode, guys. – You’re right. – I will say, we never really, Bean doesn’t talk about beans a lot. – Okay, good. – Well, you know what? It’s early though. – It is early. (laughing) – This episode is about Bed, Bath, & Beyond. – Okay, of course. – And I’m a huge fan of your secret handshakes from Broad City, but I didn’t realize that there was more of a connection to Bed, Bath & Beyond than that. – Yes, yes. My mom worked at Bed, Bath, & Beyond when I was a kid. – Ooh. – I think she worked there for maybe, seven years. – Okay. – A couple different locations. In the Philadelphia area. – So you should know, you should know your products then. – I mean, I’m pretty familiar. I’m familiar with how to fold things and I’m familiar with products and appliances. – Okay, well we’re gonna put that to the test – Oh no. – Because it’s time for Some Bed, Bath, & Beyond products are great and some are crappy. Can we tell which is which with Disenchantment’s Abbi? (laughing) – Yep, we just went crappy and Abbi, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it, it wasn’t my idea. In each round, we’re gonna be presented with two items. One of them has prevailing five-star ratings on the Bed, Bath, & Beyond website, while the other one is only gonna have one-star ratings. – Wow, okay. – Yes, and using our collective deep love and knowledge of BB&B, we’re going to guess which one has the one-star ratings, and the winner of the game gets to keep an item of their choosing! – Wow! – Secret handshake time. No, we can’t, with two. – It’s hard with two. – Not enough time to learn it. – Let’s play. (funky guitar music) – [Stevie] Okay, first up we have Gerber Graduates for Toddlers Lil’ Biscuits for $2.49 versus the Tricerataco Taco Holder for $12.99. Which is the one-star Bed, Bath, & Beyond product? – So is this so that, here take one of those, Abbi, is this for display of the taco or actually help with the eating of the taco? – [Rhett] No, it’s fun, it’s taco night. – Does it make it where you can eat two at once? – No, you just give it to little Bobby on a dinosaur. – I mean, this is a fun product. – Yeah, it’s very fun. – I have, honestly. – I thought you were gonna say something obscene. – Never seen anything like this. – And it teaches children how to eat dinosaur for later in life. – Yes. – But I don’t know, but you can’t eat out of it. – No, it’s just a holder! – I think it’s a different. – I’m just saying. – I think it was interesting because we were presented with a plate as well. I think this is the plate. (shell crunching) – I mean, you can do that if you want, but I don’t think little Bobby is expected to do that. – You can eat out of it. I just proved that. – Is the taco the, not, the taco is a separate? – Taco sold separately. – Okay. – I think people are gonna be disappointed because after one bite, maybe three, you’re gonna be getting into plastic dino. – I love that you’re making it part of the food. – You want a Lil’ Biscuit? – Uh, sure. – I’ll pour it right in your hand. Yeah, you can get a fresh one. – A fresh one. – You have a fresh. – These look really fresh. – Pass those on. – They look very fresh. – So this is like, for teething babies, right? You use your gums to bite it. (cookies snapping) – It’s a dog biscuit for children. (laughing) – Okay. – How could you hate that? – We’re having very different experiences with these right now. (laughing) – Yeah, all right. – You guys both love the lil’ baby biscuits? – I did not, I didn’t say I loved it! – You’re still, you’re still both still eating it. – Well, we, when people give us stuff, we eat it. (laughing) We don’t have to like it. – It’s very chalky. – It’s not good. – But I think babies’ palate aren’t very refined. My palate is very refined. – Are the babies leaving the ratings, or are the parents leaving the ratings, ’cause that’s a big difference here. – [Stevie] All right, guys, so you’re gonna have to all make your own individual choices, and on the count of three, – Hold your hand over. – I love that you’re still eating it. – [Stevie] You’re gonna put your hand over the one-star object. – Over the which? – [Stevie] Over the one-star. – Over the one-star, over the bad one. – Which hand? (laughing) – Oh, you know what? I can’t wait to find out. – [Stevie] Here we go. – I know I’m right on this one. – [Stevie] One, two, three. – Bam, all right, you guys are wrong. You’re so wrong. Tell ’em, Stevie. – [Stevie] Okay, the one-star product is, Gerber Graduate Lil’ Biscuits. – Yeah! – Yes! – Why? Again, it tastes bad but. – [Stevie] Apparently, Gerber changed their recipe and adults and babies alike hate it. Reviewer Chrissy from Covington, Georgia said, “Granted, I’m old but there’s just “some things you shouldn’t change.” – Oh. – Oh, they got. – Wait, these aren’t a classic? – This is a new recipe. – Lil’ Biscuits? – New recipe. – Which is like a, but the old recipe was a five-star product? – Yeah, apparently Lil’ Biscuits used to be great. – Mmmkay. (funky guitar music) – [Stevie] All right, up next we’ve got the Kickerland 10-in-1 Wood Hammer for $19.99 versus a set of four waterproof pet sandals that cost between $19.99 and $24.99, depending on size. (giggling) Which is the one-star product? – Wushu. – Well, Wushu immediately started drinking the water. – This is Wushu, and Wushu wears shoes. Wushu shoes. – There’s so much happening. (laughing) Wow. – But I can see his feet getting wet. (laughing) – Yeah, why are they, are they water, are they water sandals? Aren’t they land sandals? – I thought he was gonna pee on me. – Look what’s happening in the back. – Guys, is the water for the dog to hydrate, or for the sandals? – Wushu, stay in the water because you’re supposed to stay dry, ironically. – I see. – I don’t know the answer to your question. – I think that they’re land sandals. (chuckling) – [Link] Look at how he’s hold. – I think they’re for the beach. I’m gonna say just by the very few steps that these might have gotten some bad press. (chuckling) – Yeah, Wushu don’t drink the water that you are standing in. That’s embarrassing. (laughing) – Oh my, Wushu. (laughing) – He doesn’t seem ashamed. – I can’t tell if his feet are going out, or just the sandals are going out. – I mean, hilarious. – Don’t know what we’re dealing with over here. – Good Job, Wushu, good job buddy. – Just to show you. – What are you gonna, what’s the? – You might just wanna, could you hold, could you pull on one arm there? – Pull on an arm, yeah this is a. – Looks like you have to. (fabric ripping) See how easily that? – That was extremely easy, and an interesting choice. – Right, yeah. (laughing) – I mean, look, you can do all kinds of things with this. You can do ten different things. (laughing) – But who’s counting? Are you guys ready to vote? – [Stevie] All right, you guys, you ready to vote? – Okay, wait, wait, wait. Okay, wait. – [Stevie] So hand over the one-star. – Hand over the one-star. – Either hand. – Right. – Freestyle. – Put your hand over the one-star. – [Stevie] Okay, here we go. – Okay, I think I’m ready. – [Stevie] One, two, three. – It’s gotta be the shoes. – Yeah, I’m. (laughing) – [Stevie] Poor Wushu, but you guys are all correct. – Look at them. – I mean. – Can’t stay on for a minute, and I really am, I don’t think they’re meant for water. Think that might be on us. (laughing) (funky guitar music) – [Stevie] Before you, you have the Blomus cheese slicer for $31.99 versus the Philips Sonicare – Blomus. – [Stevie] Tongue Care and Base kit for $14.99. Which is the one-star product? – Okay, now do you guys wanna slice some cheese or scrub some tongue first? – I think you do cheese first. – Bingo. – Here. Oh, look, you gotta do this. – Oh wow, looks like it goes the other. – Oh, it’s like one of those, I’ve seen these on the TV, elementary school paper cutters. Look at that, oh oh oh, it’s so easy. – [Abbi] Wow. – [Rhett] Take a slice. – That’s a huge slice of cheese. – Yeah. We have a lot of cheese. (laughing) Oh, you wanna go small? Look, I can do that. Yeah, go, I wanna see how small. – [Link] How small can you go? – [Rhett] Oh, how small can I go? – [Link] Can you go paper thin? – Yeah, yeah. – Yeah, just eke it over. Bring it down. Ooh, dang, that is thin. – [Rhett] You gotta hold your cheese, if you wanna do it like that. – [Link] That is thin. – [Rhett] Look at that. – I mean, I’m impressed right there. – Eat it, Abbi. You don’t want. (laughing) – This is a very Type A kind of product. I’m into it. (chuckling) – Very. – Very, oh! – I mean, will it cut your finger, if you like? – I think it will. (seething) Guys! – No, it won’t. It won’t, it’s just a cable. – Okay, cool. – Just a cable. – Let me do it really hard. – No! Sorry for the yelling in your ear, but let me see how this tastes. Imagine this has a little blood on it. (light laughing) – Look at that. We do have a cheesy poster to try to cut. – Hayden Christensen was in other movies? (chuckling) – Do you wanna, you wanna take the, remove this, see what else it can cut? – Yeah, we can. Okay, there it is. – It has its limits, guys. Only cheese. – Not working. – I wonder if you do it, yeah. – Not working. (slicer clanging) – I like the fact that it can only cut cheese though. – I bet it could cut other food products. – Cheese-like products. – Cheese-like products. – I’m a big fan of the Blomus. – Great name. – Now, now they’re saying 80% bad breath comes from the tongue. Let’s get rid of that, try this. – Let me remove this big block of cheese away. – Sure, anywhere you want. So we’ve got this attachment, which goes on, like, the Sonicare mechanical vibration toothbrush thing. – Which we don’t have. – They didn’t, that’s not part of this, and then. – Do you, I’ll just use yours. – Yeah, you wanna save it? – [Rhett] I’m gonna. – [Link] Yeah, we’ll save these. – Okay. Now, I’m just gonna spray this on your tongues? (laughing) – Oh, it goes on the tongue first. (spraying) – Aah. (spraying) Hey, (spraying) and then, what is, this is weird, there’s nothing to it. – Well, you have to shake your hand real fast to emulate the. (laughing) (imitates buzzing) I think I hurt myself doing that. What could be wrong with that? – Wait, on the thing it will just vibrate, or it’s just something else to hold? – I think it vibrates it. – Okay. – Like a toothbrush. (laughing) – I mean. – How could that not be, these are both great. – This is sucks. – [Stevie] It’s a really hard game, but I’m gonna have to ask for your answers here. – Nothing about the experience I had with this. – No. – I feel like this is overkill because I can use a regular tongue brush. – This should come with the toothbrush. – The thing. – The base line, yeah. – This should not be a separate. – [Stevie] Okay, here we go. One, two, three. – It’s gotta be one-star. – I’m losing. I’m just trying to even out the odds. I don’t know why, but I’m voting for that. – [Stevie] The one-star product is the Blomus. – Blomus! – No way! – Yes! – This thing’s amazing! – Three-way tie, thanks to the Blomus. I don’t know why. – I’m very, this is five stars? – Okay, so we all tied. – That’s nuts. – Which means, well Abbi, since you’re our guest, you get to pick the thing that you wanna take home, and we’ll just choose from the leftovers. – Maybe you, I could interest you in. – I want the dog. (laughing) – Yeah, the dog. The dog not gonna go. – All right, okay. Dog adopted. – I want, wow. – The toilet? – There’s so many good things to choose from here. I think I want. – Looks great on you. – Obviously, the dog sandals! – Yes! – All right! Okay, congratulations to all of us. – All four of those, and check out Abbi in Disenchantment, part two, now streaming on Netflix. – Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing. – Now you say, you know what time it is. – Oh, did you just say that already? – Yeah.
