    You can’t break physics, you can just find better way to use physics 🤓📝
  • @comedyianca
    That awkward moment when you realize you're watching an ad that isn't labeled as an ad.
  • @mucklechumps
    I feel like I got suckered into an advertisement
  • The only laws that appeared to have been broken, are the failed morals of hidden advertising.
  • @dabo7791
    Thank you for NOT testing the speaker. That really was the best part.
  • @Etrehumain123
    I call this an advertising. That was a complete "trust me bro" test product.
  • @johnadams6249
    instructions unclear, I bought the speaker and things are now floating around the room
  • @clemisch
    I was waiting for a audio sample of the speaker so that I confirm its bass while watching this on my phone.
  • @utuba7449
    0:34 "These speakers are the same size" I'm not trusting this guy on physics 😂
  • @tinetannies4637
    Surprise! You're watching a commercial disguised as "information"
  • @fafeese
    Marques: Ellis, we gotta limit the rants on Waveform. Ellis: I will not be silenced. (Studio video birthed)
  • @sesame88
    Goodness. I waited for 10 mins for a demo on the speaker but there's none. What a huge disappointment!
  • @sukeef
    The longest ad I have ever seen
  • @TheExileFox
    without plotting the frequency response, taking dB measurements (at 1 meter distance) and not mentioning the specs, this just seems like a standard marketing ploy. the first two might not be something your familiar with, but the third you should definitely bring up. otherwise there is a significant possibility that the price has a placebo effect for you, making you think the speaker sounds better than it actually does.
  • @Adamlukas
    Ellis is the type of guy to actually BE all about that bass
  • @GoatBarn
    I had the fortunate "ultimate base" experience of being less than five feet away from a full grown male african lion during a photoshoot. Ralph was getting a bit cranky and let out a protest growl as if to say, "I've had enough of this shit for one day..." and refused to exit his enclosure when called. My entire 6"2" 235 pound frame reverberated with that growl and everyone else in the studio froze. It was an extraordinary form of physics to experience and almost felt electrically shocking! The handler just replied, "Okay, you're the boss, we'll head home."
