I tested a bunch of Zack D. Films clone accounts to see which life hacks actually work and which ones are just ripped-off animations with big claims. From throwing a playing card through a watermelon to checking whether a dead battery really bounces more, the video turns each viral short into a real-world experiment.

Along the way, Sambacha tries tricks like removing super glue with acetone, making a cloud in your mouth, seeing whether Mentos and Coke can explode in your stomach, lighting a lemon battery, opening a jar with a spoon, spinning a basketball, opening a wine bottle without a corkscrew, and even using a tear stick to cry on command. Some clips are blatant Zack D. Films copycats, some are surprisingly accurate, and a few are just plain absurd.

This is part comedy commentary, part life hack review, and part internet myth-busting, with fast-paced reactions to animated explainer channels and their strange advice. If you enjoy viral hacks, YouTube clone wars, reaction videos, and testing whether short-form science tricks are real, this one delivers plenty of chaos and a few genuine surprises.

Perfect for viewers searching for Zack D. Films clones, life hack tests, viral experiment videos, internet myth-busting, reaction commentary, and funny short-form science content. Also a good pick for fans of animated explainer channels, creator comparisons, and real-world tests of viral TikTok and YouTube tricks.

00:00Following the success of Zach D Films' animations, thousands of copycats have emerged,
00:04some good and some absolutely terrible. And so today, not only are we going to be looking at
00:08these different accounts, but we're also going to be testing out the life hacks they're pushing
00:11to see whether or not they actually work. Because let me tell you, Zach, a lot of these channels
00:14are absolutely out of their minds, but we're going to test them all nonetheless. Let's go
00:17ahead and do this. So here we have a channel called NYK Entertain. I'm guessing it's Nick
00:21Entertain, and he has 870,000 subscribers. And the avatar is this old man that seems to have a pretty
00:28intimate audience as well. Some popular videos have over 50 million views, and the one that we're
00:33going to be watching and testing is how to throw a card through a watermelon. Very unique premise,
00:37super excited about this. The animation style is very close to Zach D Films, but let's see what he
00:41says. 280,000 likes. Do people call this out in the comment section? Next to Zach D Films. There we
00:46go.
00:47A lot of people. All right, let's watch it, Nick. Want to throw a playing card with enough force to
00:51pierce a watermelon? You must first fight your own instincts. Your instinct... Why is this guy's head
00:56so big? Power. Throwing it as hard as you can. It's all about technique. Causing it to lose all of
01:01its speed and hit with zero impact. Instead, grip the top corner of the card between your index and
01:07middle fingers. Curl your wrist inward toward your forearm, then unleash all the energy in a violent
01:13forward snap to create a powerful spin. Okay, why is he crying at the end? Okay, so we are going
01:19to throw
01:19a card through a watermelon. I am going to do it. I at the very least just want to like
01:23pierce it and have
01:23it stick in. Just kind of like the ninja stars. All right, Nick, let's see whether or not you deserve
01:27to be on this platform as your own creator, or are you just a Zach D Films ripoff? Let's see.
01:31Okay, copycat Zach D Films person. Am I able to actually use playing cards to throw it through a
01:36watermelon? I'd be happy if I just hit it. I mean, I don't know how you're supposed to like throw
01:40a
01:40playing card, but he did show us the technique. So it looks like you put two fingers like so with
01:44your thumb here. Huh? Not bad for a first one. All right, let's see how long this takes. Hopefully I
01:50can
01:50like at least hit the watermelon. That'd be a big win. Not bad. Oh, we're moving.
02:02Okay. It's okay. All right, take two.
02:11Oh, I got it now. Oh, it's only a matter of time.
02:17Oh, so close. Oh, eventually. Oh, I actually did it.
02:36The 10 of spades stuck in that watermelon. You like that? After you broke on me, huh?
02:44All right, so we got it. So it looks like you are able to actually do this with a playing
02:48card. I'm a
02:49complete amateur and I was able to do that, which means that that video is absolutely true. Anybody
02:53could do that. You just got to learn the technique. And then as you saw it, you yourself can throw
02:57a
02:5710 of spades into a watermelon. All right, pretty cool. All right, next up, we have a channel called
03:00Voxel Penguin that has around 30,000 subscribers. And you'll see everything down to the coloring looks
03:05exactly like Zach D Films. And they have a lot of different videos on here. So we're going to test
03:09a few
03:10of them, starting with this one. Dead battery or not, this test never fails. So it could be useful.
03:15So if you don't know if your battery has any charge in it or not, maybe Voxel Penguin is for
03:19you.
03:19Want to check whether a battery is weak? Just drop it lightly on a table from a small height.
03:23If the battery bounces again and again, it is almost empty. But if it lands solid and doesn't
03:29bounce much, then the battery still has some power left. Interesting. Is that true? I mean,
03:34I guess that's why we're testing things. All right, Voxel Penguin. It could be interesting
03:37here. Maybe you are an officially good channel if you're not lying about this, because I'm always
03:41running into the issue where I see random batteries lying around and I don't know whether or not they
03:45have a charge. So this could solve it. Let's see. Okay, Voxel Penguin. Let's see whether or not your
03:48Zach D Films video is true or not. So I have two batteries right here. This one has a lot
03:53of juice
03:53in it. In fact, I've never used this one before. And this one has been going uninterrupted for like
03:58days now. So it might actually be dead. But according to that video, the dead battery is going to bounce
04:02a bunch, whereas the one that still has a full charge is just going to stop in its track when
04:06you drop it on
04:06its bottom. Okay, Voxel, let's see if you're a legitimate Zach D Films account or not. So this
04:11is going to be the dead one first. We're going to see if it bounces. Okay, definitely a little bit
04:16of a da-da-da-da-da. So I'd say dead one did in fact bounce, but it all means
04:20nothing if this one
04:21also bounces. Wait, wait, wait, wait. No way that actually works. Hold on. Dead again. Bouncy. This is the
04:29one with the full charge. Does that actually work? All right. Both at the same time. Dead. Alive.
04:36Wow. All right. I mean, you guys saw it. That actually does work. So a dead battery will bounce
04:42a lot higher than one that has a full charge in it. Okay, Voxel Penguin, not bad. You seem to
04:47be
04:47pretty legitimate. So don't take them down, Zach. All right, let's see what other fake Zach D Films videos
04:51we got. Okay, next up, we have a channel called Simply How that has 800,000 subscribers. Interestingly,
04:57on only 80 videos. And if you look at their most popular videos, they have videos with over 30
05:02million views. And when I show you what this channel is like, it is 100% like Zach D Films.
05:07So here's a video, how to remove super glue from your fingers. Something I've done quite a lot in
05:11the past, but we're going to see what Simply How has to say about it. You super glue your fingers
05:16together. Same exact voice. Pulling them apart as this can tear your skin. Instead, you want to place
05:22your hand in a bowl of warm soapy water. Okay, warm soapy water. Sure. Brush. Gently wiggle it in
05:27between your fingers slowly. You know what? Just first off, from firsthand experience, I want to
05:31say this doesn't work. Warm soapy water hardly works. So unless you tell me something else, this
05:36probably isn't going to work. Until they separate. If this doesn't work, dip a cotton swab in nail
05:41polish. Here we go. And apply it to your fingers. This will slowly dissolve the glue and free your
05:47fingers apart. See, now that's useful. Fake Zach D Films. And when I say fake Zach D Films,
05:51this one might be the most egregious one yet. So some acetone, some nail polish remover,
05:56throw it on the super glue. It should help dissolve it. I want to see what the comments are saying.
05:59Mom, let's watch Jack Films. This ain't Jack Films. This is Jack E Films. It's also not even Jack
06:05Films. This is supposed to be a joke on Zach D Films. What do you mean bro is not Jack
06:08Films? Let's test it.
06:09Let's see if you can trust this fake Zach D Films. All right, Simply How, let's see if you're right
06:13on if you can
06:13remove super glue using nail polish remover or just acetone. I think I've actually tested this
06:18with an AI life hack in the past, but I'm going to give you a fresh perspective here and just
06:22see if
06:22I can take it off because I don't have warm water like it shows in the video. And so it
06:25said the next
06:26best thing you could do is use nail polish remover. So let's go ahead and load up my fingers with
06:29some
06:30of this super glue right here. And this stuff gets stuck. Okay, so there's the super glue. You'll see my
06:35fingers are already together. And now just a little bit of acetone is going to separate. Come on,
06:41Simply How. Does it actually come off? I put a lot on there. Yeah, look at that. It's dissolving
06:47right off. All of it completely gone. And you get a whiff of the acetone. That's the best smell in
06:52the
06:52world, that and gasoline. All right, so if you happen to get super glue on your fingers, look no
06:55further than Simply How because he will tell you the correct way to get it off, which is with some
06:59acetone. All right, so that one works. Good to see. We're not completely letting Zach down. All right,
07:03let's see what else we got though. All right, here we have a channel called Story Explainer For You.
07:07And just from this thumbnail right here, it looks like they're just reposting Zach D Films videos
07:12because this is literally Zach D Films videos. Can you make a cloud in your mouth? But before we
07:17watch it, look at this guy's channel, 17,000 subscribers. And all he does is put on some
07:21sort of gradient filter on Zach's videos. And it's clearly like an AI account or something,
07:26but he does give video credit to Zach D Films. Zach is very nice for not having struck down this
07:30account because this is blatant ripoffs. With that said, let's go ahead and see what this guy has for us.
07:34Breath and close your lips tightly, trapping the air inside. Then press your tongue on the roof of
07:40your mouth and click it for 30 seconds. You see, this turns your spit into tiny droplets,
07:45which make even the voices amended humid. After that, squeeze your lips together and blow without
07:50letting any air escape. Okay. Increases the pressure. Ah, the warm, damp air rushes out and it mixes with
07:58the cool air. Okay. Condenses into droplets, forming a tiny cloud from your mouth. Okay. Very cool.
08:04I can't really give attribution to story explainer dot for you because this is Zach's video. But with
08:08that said, I'm excited to try this. Let's see if Zach's actual video works. So according to that
08:12stolen Zach D Films account, story explainer for you, you can make a cloud in your mouth with
08:18nothing. All you have to do is take in a deep breath and then do a bunch of clicks with
08:22your
08:22tongue against the roof of your mouth, creating some sort of warm air that then when it interacts
08:26with the cool air around you, it creates a cloud. Okay. I'm ready to attempt it. So I'm going to
08:30take a very deep breath right here. You got anything? I saw a little bit. Really? Yeah. No way. All
08:41right.
08:41Let me do this again. Hold on. Cause the key is like pushing your tongue forward so you can get
08:44enough of the smoke coming out. Let me do a couple of more attempts. I am determined. Cause if this
08:48works, this is actually pretty cool. If you could make clouds with just your mouth. A few moments
08:55later. No, no, no way. Did you see that? That was like, wait, play that back. Play that back. I
09:05can't
09:05believe it. I even saw that. We did it against the black gorilla so we could actually see it,
09:09but you don't even need that. Well, that used a lot of my lung capacity. So let me bring things
09:13back
09:13down to earth, but that is crazy that that actually works. So in a sense, thank you,
09:17Zach D films, but also thank you to that channel, even though you just reposted Zach's video,
09:21but that one absolutely works. That's a pretty cool one. Next up, we have a channel called
09:24insight fusion official that has over 500,000 subscribers on 400 videos. And they have some
09:30videos with over 50 million views. And the one that we're going to be testing is Ken Mentos and Coke
09:35explode your stomach. I don't believe Zach D films has ever touched on this. So maybe there's a market
09:39for this guy. Just right off the bat. I like how he brands everything in the same way Zach does
09:43insight fusion. Good branding. I'm curious to see one, what actually happens when you put in your
09:47stomach and two, if this looks a lot like Zach D films can swallowing Mentos and Coke. Why do we
09:53all do the same voice? Can swallowing Mentos and Coke explode in your stomach? Granted, I do have some
09:58practice because Zach himself taught me, but what are we doing here? Guys, just have your own voice.
10:03Cause your stomach to explode? To get our answer, we need to understand what causes Mentos to react
10:09with Coke. All right, a little science lesson. Which is actually the coating on the Mentos causing
10:14the eruption. Interesting. So many videos, but when we eat Mentos, our bodies dissolve the coating before
10:20the reaction can take place. Okay. So while you might feel bloating and burp a lot, you wouldn't have
10:26to worry about exploding. Is that true though? And what if you do multiple Mentos and what if you just
10:31leave them in your mouth and you're not necessarily swallowing them? Kind of excited to try this, but
10:35this literally might be the final time you see me. Cause I might literally explode from all these
10:38Mentos and Coke that I'm about to swallow. Let's see. Not going to lie, a little nervous about this
10:42one because Insight Fusion claimed that nothing will go wrong if you put Mentos and Diet Coke in your
10:47mouth at the same time. But we've proven on this channel time and time again, that Mentos plus Diet Coke
10:51equals explosion. So how wouldn't that result just because I'm putting it inside my body? Well, I'm going to test
10:56this for science. So I have the Mentos right here. I have some fresh Diet Coke here and I
11:01guess we're just going to take, let's take two down actually. It's just to make this even more
11:04intense. Here goes nothing. There was a good amount of fizz in there. I know we said that doesn't work,
11:18but I was starting to feel a bit lightheaded. You could tell all of that was starting to pop out
11:21of
11:21the mouth a bit. Okay. Let me swallow one now, but I actually don't know if I trust Insight Fusion
11:26here. It's not looking too good. I think the worst part about this is eating a Mentos. I don't think
11:29anybody like unironically eats Mentos. I have one Mento in my stomach right now.
11:40Shake myself up a little bit.
11:46I think I'm fine. I don't love swallowing a mint hole coupled with Diet Pepsi, but the good news is
11:51I am okay. So Insight Fusion was not lying. But I will say when you have it in your mouth,
11:55something was definitely happening when it's up here. But once it reaches your stomach acid,
11:58it makes sense that it no longer would work. We'll do it one more time for you guys. Here's
12:01seven, which is the deadly amount. I'm just going to put all seven in my mouth right now.
12:17As you saw, it's very reactive. I like lose breath doing that. So it definitely does something,
12:22but not as crazy as you would think. I'm done doing that. I need to take a little breather after
12:26that.
12:26But I'd say Insight Fusion was correct. It won't make you explode at the very least.
12:30All right, we have another life hack from Voxel Penguin, our friends over there. And they were
12:33actually spot on about the dead battery one. So I'm excited for this one. Lemon power trick that
12:38you must try. This reminds me of those old YouTube thumbnails that were clickbait when you could like
12:42plug your phone into a lime and then all of a sudden it would cause your phone to charge. I
12:46don't
12:46believe that that was true, although I've never actually tested it. But this feels like it's going to
12:49be something similar. Don't let me down. Can you go two for two?
12:51Lemon and stick a copper coin and a zinc nail into it, making sure they don't touch each other.
12:56The lemon juice acts as an electrolyte. That's a lime first off.
12:59All electric current to flow between the two metals. Connect wires from the copper and zinc to a tiny
13:04LED and it will light up. Lime, copper, iron, some plugs and an LED light. We're going to create power.
13:10All right, let's go ahead and Thomas Edison this and see if Voxel Penguin, aka perhaps the only good
13:15Zach D Films rip off in this video, is lying or not.
13:17All right, Voxel Penguin, I put together your makeshift science experiment right here using
13:22limes, some copper coins, couple alligator wires, and then right here, once I connect,
13:27apparently it's going to create some electricity. Third grade science experiment. There's no way
13:31this actually works, right? Don't be fooled. It's like when you plug your phone into a lime,
13:35it starts charging it. We all know that's fake. But I am going to give it a fair shot because
13:38Voxel Penguin is basically Zach D Films. Let me set the scene. I'll turn the lights off and our goal
13:43is to
13:43get a little red piece of light right there. And that proves that electricity is running through.
13:48So hold on. All right, so now that the lights are off, there's only one more thing to do.
13:51Connect this to this in three, two, one. No way. Look at that. There is actual light being emitted
14:01from this thing. There's no way this works. I mean, I guess it makes sense. He wasn't lying.
14:06Are you serious? Look at this. That's so crazy. Wait, it's actually a good amount of electricity too.
14:12When I'm wrong, I'll admit that I'm wrong. And in this case, I was wrong. So sorry,
14:16Voxel Penguin. You're legit. You're a good Zach D Films dupe because who would have thought that
14:20this little thing right here would create light? All right, let's see this next video we have here
14:23from an account called Jack B Movies. Okay, let's see what we have.
14:28Could turn old pencil notes into reusable paper. Spinning erasers would scrub away the graphite.
14:35So students could rebuild their notes next semester instead of buying-
14:38You know what? I was going to say this is dumb, but to be honest, if you're heading to college,
14:41if you're already in college or just thinking about going back to school, you know how quickly
14:45costs can add up. And it's not just tuition. There's housing, textbooks, food, and plenty of
14:49other expenses. And that's where today's sponsor SoFi comes in. SoFi private student loans can cover
14:53up to 100% of school certified costs, including tuition, housing, books, food, and more with options
14:59for bachelor's degrees, graduate degrees, and graduate certificate programs. With SoFi,

15:21SoFi.com slash Sambucha or scan this QR code right here to explore your options and find funding
15:26that works for you. So thank you to our friend SoFi for sponsoring this video. And let's move on
15:29to another Zach D Films copycat. Okay, here we have a channel called Zach Fleams. So we're not even at
15:39this point just hiding it. Zach Fleams, it's kind of like the same profile picture, but this guy has
15:44like a pig nose. 10,000 subscribers, not bad. And the video we're going to be testing, how to spin
15:48a
15:48basketball like Michael Jordan. There we go. Zach Fleams up top, good branding on the shirt as well.
15:53I'll tell you what, all these animation channels, they do know good branding.
15:55Do you know how to spin a basketball correctly? The secret is in the rotation of the ball. So
16:01first, place it in the center of your- Did you just burp? Throw it gently into the air,
16:05applying a spin. Then immediately position your fingers like an Italian. If that doesn't work,
16:10try using a Michael Jordan with- What did I just watch? Was that a fever dream? That reminded me
16:16of Xavier Renegade Angel. Nobody's going to know what that is, but if you do, shout out. You're in a
16:19very niche community of people I like. Okay, so I guess we're going to try to spin a basketball on
16:23our
16:23fingers using the Italian method, and then if that doesn't work, then we need to summon Michael Jordan
16:27and have him do some like explosive stuff onto the ball. Let's see. Okay, Zach Fleams, I have a
16:32basketball right here, and according to your crazy video, one, you tell me how to do it, but if I
16:37can't
16:37do it, we need to somehow spawn Michael Jordan and have him just explosive poop everywhere in order for
16:42it to work. But first, I'm going to take your actual advice, which is just to do the motion of
16:46an Italian
16:47person, which is like this, like that, I guess, and then spin it. Wait a second. So I kind of
16:55know how
16:55to do this already just a little bit, but I want to see if you could actually be an Italian
16:59and do it.
17:00Like he says, it's all in the fingers. Hey, mama mia. Wait a second. That kind of worked. Let's see.
17:11Not bad. Zach Fleams was not lying. Just do the Italian motion. You could at least get it
17:15temporarily. So that's even better than just the standard way because you're able to use more
17:19fingers. So it's able to have more points to contact you. And now if you are unable to do that,
17:23the next best thing you could do is as follows. Thanks, Michael. Okay. I was literally about to
17:32react to this one video, but it says the video is no longer available because the YouTube account
17:36has been terminated. So I don't know if Zach D film struck down this account, but the video is now
17:41officially unavailable. However, I did seem to find another account called Liam films, 57, that is
17:46also making Zach D films like videos. So the one we're going to be watching is how a marker can
17:51open
17:51up a soda can. Now I do have some experience with this in the past, but I won't spoil what
17:55happens
17:55right on the thin groove next to the opening, then press down and move it back and forth along the
18:00inner rim. This is the pre weakened line where the tab normally breaks because this part of,
18:04wait, I think this is actually a Zach D films video just voiced over thin strip of metal flexes
18:08a little more until the line suddenly gives way. Then the pressure inside the can quickly rushes
18:13out, popping the lid open and spraying soda everywhere. So marker on soda equals open. If
18:18you don't want to put your like little fingers under the aluminum tab, all you have to do is get
18:21yourself a Sharpie rub rigorously and then bam. All right, let's see if it works. All right,
18:25Liam films. I have my marker and I have my soda can right here. I've actually done this before,
18:29but I won't spoil what happens and whether or not it works. So I'm going to do it for the
18:32first
18:34of you guys. So you take the bottom of a marker, you take your soda can, and then according to
18:37Liam,
18:38you just do this and we're going to see if this works. Come on. Is it going to work?
18:48It actually worked. Okay. So you were not lying, Liam. I'm sorry for doubting you. If you need to
18:52open up a can, just get a Sharpie and you see that it works. Insight Fusion. We have another video
18:57this time. What happens if we connect wall sockets now do not try this, but let's see what they have
19:02to say. If you took a cord, then plugged it into two wall sockets, what would happen? The answer
19:08is, it depends. If you plugged them in normally, nothing would happen at all. But if you switched
19:14one of the plugs around, you'd actually cause a short circuit. And if your circuit breaker didn't
19:19trip, or there was no circuit breaker to begin with, the cords would most likely spark and start
19:26a fire. Ooh, wait, I don't know if I should actually try this. There's an old myth that you should
19:29never do this because of the short circuiting and then spark potential fire that could happen.
19:34I didn't know though, it's dependent on which way the prongs are. Am I going to try this for
19:38the video? All right. Well, if you're seeing this, you know that I'm about to do it. Hopefully
19:41everything goes right. Let's find out. Okay guys, I can't believe I'm trying this, but I have a
19:45two pronged cord right here and I'm going to plug one end here and the other end in that outlet
19:50over
19:51there. And we're going to see what happens because according to that video, we just watched
19:54something very bad could happen. Now I do think this house is graded with enough of electrical paneling.
19:59So that it doesn't explode. Like there's probably some fail safe kind of built in, but nonetheless
20:03I am nervous to try this. So do not try this. Plug him in first. All right. And then we're
20:07going
20:07to take him and bring him over here. All right. This may be the last time you see me. What
20:11happens
20:11if you plug an outlet into an outlet?
20:22Nothing. Okay. I think we're safe. Plugging an outlet into an outlet, at least on a newer home,
20:28isn't going to do anything. I thought there was like a good 75% chance that some crazy
20:32combustion would have happened. And this probably wouldn't have made it in the video, but it looks
20:35like it's all good, which means that the video we just watched is lying. So it is not a proper
20:39Zach D films dupe because he's not even telling the truth. Hey, I mean, look at that. We did the
20:43thing
20:43and nothing happened. So now, you know, don't try that. All right, Nick entertain. We have another video
20:47from him. Now this trick opens any jars in seconds. So let's see old man. What do you got for
20:52us?
20:53Some jars feel impossible to open. That stubborn lid isn't just tight. I can't get over how much
20:59this sounds like Zach D films. Vacuum sealed. Most people twist harder, hurting their wrists for
21:05nothing. But there's a... Did he just break his wrist? In your kitchen drawer. Look like he tried
21:10to open it with his shoulder. Gently under the lid edge. Now just lift until you hear that soft pop.
21:17Does that really work? Can you open a jar just using the backside of a utensil? I feel like it's
21:22a
21:22vacuum sealed. So there's no way that that would open, right? Everyone's always struggling with
21:26pickle jars. Oh, like hit it five times and it magically gets looser. Can you just literally
21:29wedge it open? I'm actually curious about this one. This is actually like a genuine good life hack
21:33if it works. All right, let's try it, Nick. Hey, old man, Nick entertain. I got the pickle jar right
21:37here and you claim that you're able to open up a jar using the bottom side of a spoon or
21:41any utensil.
21:42I don't know how that's going to work because there doesn't seem to be a slot for this to fit
21:45in
21:46because these are airtight. But hey, I'll do my best here. Let's try to wedge it in. Oh, okay. I'm
21:51actually kind of in.
21:51He said you just slowly do this. Wait a second. Hold on. Would it be? Oh my gosh. Oh my
21:59gosh.
22:01You could actually wedge open the top of a pickle jar. How come nobody's ever taught me this before?
22:07Nick entertain. So if you truly can't open up a pickle jar, just get the bottom wedge it in
22:12and you could just do what I did right there. And you have some nice pickles ready to go.
22:16Genuinely impressed by that one. So good job, Nick. I thought he was memeing completely. That is a
22:20legitimate account. Good life hack right there. Okay. Next up, we have a channel called Quarney
22:23D Films. So this guy just put his first name and then D Films. He looks to be completely leaning
22:29into
22:29like AI things, but I'm pretty sure this is the same exact bio that Zack D Films has a collection
22:34of things I find interesting. But let's go ahead and give him a fair shot here. All right, Quarney,
22:37the tear lens. You get pulled over for speeding. So you rub your eyes and immediately start weeping.
22:44Okay. Don't cry, man. It's not a good look. You see that morning you put in these special contact
22:52lenses with tiny capsules hidden inside. Why is there so much downtime between sentences?
22:58I like you can still see the Gemini logo. It's bad. All right, don't worry. I'm going to let you
23:03go
23:03with a warning today. Why did the door just open? When you rub your eyes, the capsules break
23:13releasing the fake tears. Uh-huh. So this is like a contact lens that when you break it allows you
23:18to cry. So I'm sure actors and stuff use this. They actually have things called tear sticks. So
23:22I think I'm going to buy that and test whether or not that makes me cry. So you may just
23:26see me cry
23:26right now. So this is the last time you'll see me super dry and serious. All right, let's do it.
23:30So according to that Pixar Zach D Films video, you can cry in command just like actors do with
23:35something called a tear stick. So this is it right here. Uh, let's see what it's made of. Menthol and
23:40then maybe like 10 other things that you probably shouldn't be putting on your face. But we do need
23:45to cry because if you want to get out of a situation like getting pulled over by the cops, this
23:48is what
23:48you use. Okay. So it kind of looks like lipstick when you twist it up like a chapstick. This is
23:53what
23:53you get. So it's white and you're supposed to just like put it directly under your eyes and the menthol
23:58is
23:59going to create some tears. That's the reaction I get when I put this under my eyes. So right now
24:03I'm dry as can be. The goal is to generate a single tear. Whoo! I'm burning, but not in like
24:08a crying
24:09way. Like my skin is burning right now. I don't know if it's even capable of producing tears. I just
24:14think like burns are just happening on my entire face. So this is the most that I could open my
24:17eyes
24:18right now. So if I was acting in a scene, this is what I would look like. I'm not necessarily
24:22crying,
24:22but I'd look distraught, right? Like I look like somebody just did something terrible to
24:26me and I'm just really sad about it.
24:29Oh, I said you guys just didn't subscribe and I'm just like crushed me. I was really looking
24:35forward to it too, but I don't know. They just don't like me or something. It's just not fair.
24:39It's like I try so hard and like I asked for one thing just like subscribe. It's literally right there.
24:44It's free. Wait a second. We have a tear here. Wait a second. Lock in. You see it?
24:49Cry! It's sad! Okay, so we have a dry paper towel.
25:00Give it a feel. That is a true tear, guys.
25:05Like actually crying. All right, so that's what actors use. That's what we saw in that Pixar Zack D Films
25:10video.
25:11This thing is pretty nifty. So if you want to burn your eyes out with menthol, use this thing.
25:15Otherwise, just watch a sad movie or think of a sad thought. This thing's kind of a gimmick.
25:18If you're a really good actor, you can just cry in command. This is not for the professionals.
25:22This is purely for amateurs. Good for gaslighting people. Maybe like there's some use case for it,
25:26but generally speaking, this thing's garbage. All right, let's see what else we got.
25:29All right, next up we have a different flavor of Zack D Films copycat and this one is an Indian
25:33channel
25:33that is dubbing over Zack D Films videos and then re-uploading them. And this video has like 35,000
25:39views.
25:39So let's see what we got. I can even see the captions.
25:41They're like blurring over just so it's not Zack D Films' video, I guess.
25:45Look, wrap a rubber band around your wrist, then pull it over the back of your hand,
25:49twist it into a loop around your pinky and hold it under your thumb. This keeps the palm of your
25:53hand
25:54looking empty. Okay. Now place a Pringle chip right in the center of your palm above the stretched band.
25:59And then release it. The tension band will act like a spring,
26:01which is positioned right under your hand. Then if you release your thumb,
26:05the band will snap straight forward with force. It will strike the chip from underneath at high
26:09speed. This will shatter the chip into pieces and the band will instantly snap back into place.
26:15I like how it says respective owner and then it looks like the respective owner
26:19is the name of this account. Like they're claiming to be the respective owners of this.
26:23But it is a pretty cool life hack if it works. If you want to have a cool party trick
26:27and break a Pringle,
26:28get yourself a rubber band and do it like so. Or so we think. So let's see if it's real
26:31or not.
26:31Okay, Zach D Films Reuploader. Let's see whether or not your life hack works or Zach's life hack.
26:35Okay. So what you're going to do is make a little figure eight,
26:39put it through your pinky and then wrap it around, grab right here. Then if you put the chip right
26:43here, it's going to be like a silent assassin and break the chip. Let's do it.
26:48Okay. Nothing happened. All right. Let's give it another go. Take two.
26:52Okay. This is not looking too good for you. Reuploader. This one has to be it.
26:59Oh, that absolutely crushed the chip. So now we're just left with this little tiny piece.
27:05Good calorie control. If you want to do that. All right. So that one, after a couple of attempts,
27:09does work. So you are able to silently break a potato chip that's in your hand using rubber band.
27:14Pretty cool one. Not a lot of utility, but now you guys know that reuploader was not lying about
27:18Zach's video. They still probably shouldn't exist though. All right, cool. Let's see what else we got.
27:22All right. Next up, we are reacting to a channel called Zach films with over 1.1 million subscribers.
27:28They have 300 videos with some videos getting close to a hundred million views. And the one
27:34we're going to be testing is how to open up a wine bottle without a corkscrew. Lots of different
27:38methods out there. But what about this one right here? I see he has a shoe in his hand and
27:41I also
27:41like how it's branded Zach films. It's so funny. There's like an aftermarket of like secondary Zach D
27:46film spillover and these people like make careers out of this kind of cool. The wine bottle inside
27:51your shoe. If you don't have a, then start. I'm not even going to acknowledge that. Let's just keep
27:57going. It's mickly hitting the wall with the soul. This will allow you to open the wine bottle even
28:02without the corkscrew. Is that too? You see that it's my boy corkscrew and the inertia of the liquid
28:07will gradually push the court. Yeah, this makes sense damaging the glass. But if this still doesn't
28:13work, just take your grandma and hit. Hey, hey, hey. What? Why did you just go off the rail last
28:19second? We're going to see if this actually works, but I'm not going to do that last part. But I
28:24have
28:24a feeling it should work, right? Enough pressure on the cork should force it out a little bit. I don't
28:27know if it's as dramatic as they showed, but let's go ahead and bang some wine against, I don't know,
28:31the wall or maybe even the target ball. All right, we're going to see whether or not you are able
28:34to open
28:34up a bottle of wine using a shoe. So stick that in there like so. Good. And you can bang
28:40it against a wall,
28:40but in our case, we have a target ball. So let's see if a target ball can open up a
28:44wine bottle.
28:47Oh, this is going to burst.
28:54Oh, okay. I started to get a little bit of distance on this.
28:59We got it out just enough where it looks like you can kind of easily grab it now. So I
29:03guess in a
29:04sense, it is kind of working. Should I just end it myself now? A little bit of a hybrid.
29:14Okay, well, it definitely worked. I guess it's useful. All right, you did not lie about that
29:19one. If you have to open up your wine bottle and you don't have anything to uncork it, just get
29:23a
29:23shoe, get a target ball and or some sort of wall. And you saw it right there. You're good to
29:26go.
29:27Okay, next up, we have a channel called Dennis Schmaltz, which is actually the largest channel
29:31in this entire video with 1.18 million subscribers and 500 videos with some shorts getting over 30
29:37million views. And the one that we're going to watch is the weirdest way to get the bill out.
29:41And this is a one for one Zack T Films animation style. So I'm excited to watch this and see
29:45if
29:45this works. There are two glasses on the table. Under one of them is a $100 bill and wedged between
29:50the two. You know what? I like that this guy's just talking. He's not trying to do the whole Zack
29:53T Films thing outside of the animations, of course, but I trust him. Glasses is a match. So how do
29:57you get
29:58the money out if you're not allowed to touch the match and the match can't touch the table? Your
30:01first instinct might be both glasses at the same time. Yes, right? But every time you try,
30:07it just slips again and again. So it feels like there's no way to do it. But here's the trick.
30:10Light the match and let the head heat up for just a moment. Light a match. Oh, it's going to
30:14melt
30:14right into it. And then you pull that one up right away. What's left of the match head hardens like
30:18a
30:18tiny drop of hot glue. Genius. Now the match is actually stuck to the glass by that hardened burnt
30:22residue. Let's win some money. So if you're ever getting scammed, just make sure you have some matches
30:26on you and you could win this game and win the $100 for yourself. I'm not sure I have $100
30:29lying around,
30:30but I do have some matches and I do have some cups. So let's see if this works. All right.
30:33So
30:33according to that video, if you wanted to win the game in which you can have the match fall so
30:37you
30:37could win the money, this is how you do it. So you take a match and then you're going to
30:40place it
30:41directly down and then you're going to light the match and the match is going to stick to this cup.
30:45So then when you lift this cup, the match goes with it. So then you could take the money and
30:48it
30:48could be yours. I'm curious to see whether or not this actually works. Hopefully it does.
30:51Otherwise, Zach, take them down. All right, let's try it. Okay. So we're going to put the match in
30:56between these two cups and then light it aflame. It's stuck, which means the money's ours. So it
31:14actually works. So it melts directly into the plastic. And then as you see, we were able to
31:20then remove the money, which means these $5 are mine. I think they were mine anyways, but
31:23now they're definitely mine. All right, here we have a channel called Uncovering Y and Y is
31:28capitalized. They have nearly 500,000 subscribers with a lot of popular videos on the channel with
31:33over 30 million views with one, almost 70 million views. And you're going to see that this is literally
31:37Zach D Films. And this video is the way to spot hidden glass shards, which I believe Zach actually
31:42made this video himself. Glass breaks on your kitchen floor. Tiny splinters can scatter around and hide
31:48from... I wonder if these people are like old ex-animators of Zach D Films. And they're like,
31:54you know what? I'm going to make my own channel. Could be an interesting theory, right?
31:58To spot them, take a small table lamp and place it close to the floor's edge.
32:04The warm glow will reveal the hidden pieces as they catch the light.
32:08And then what? I knew it. With Zach, it was a potato.
32:13With Uncovering Y, it's an apple.
32:15Leaving the floor completely safe for your feet and hands.
32:19Apples pick up glass shards. Simple enough to test. So let's see whether or not it's true.
32:23So is it true that an apple can help to pick up some broken glass shards on the floor?
32:27So actually, previously, I tested this on a Zach D Films video in which I used a potato,
32:31but in this case, we're using an apple. So I guess it makes sense, right? It's the same sort of
32:34idea.
32:35But apple versus potato. Zach D Films versus this ripoff. We'll see whose is better.
32:39So first things first, let's break this glass.
32:46There we go. Now, all the glass that's around me,
32:49I'm going to try to just pick up using the apple. So here we go.
32:55Okay, nothing. What are these small bits?
32:58Yeah, did actually get one of the small bits in there.
33:01Scanning.
33:03Here we go. Another one. Okay, we got more.
33:06Okay, we're starting to get actually a lot of the mini shards sticking to the apple there.
33:10It's not going to get anything super big, but for all the small ones,
33:13it's actually doing a decent enough job.
33:15Now, I am spreading apple everywhere on the ground,
33:17so it's not like the best method to have clean floors.
33:20But if you want to get all these mini shards, the apple is doing it.
33:23So even though that is a copycat, this is a totally different one
33:26because apples are different than potatoes,
33:28and I think people are more likely to have apples in their homes versus potatoes.
33:31So I would say overall, this is a very good life hack, and he's not lying.
33:34So don't strike his channel down, Zach.
33:36I think he's a good one to have on.
33:37He's teaching us some useful things.
33:39Here we have a channel called ZachDLab-2
33:42that has 31 subscribers, and their profile picture is ZachDFilm's bald.
33:47Could be him in like 30 years, maybe.
33:48And let's see what we got.
33:49Egg too long, and the yolk turns that dull greenish-gray ring around the edge.
33:54It's not spoiled, it's chemistry.
33:56As heat pushes past the ideal window, sulfur in the egg white reacts with iron in the yolk.
34:02Ah, I like how there's actual science happening.
34:04This is more of like an AI life hack.
34:07The longer it cooks, the thicker that ring becomes.
34:10And it oxidizes, and it becomes gray.
34:13It's completely safe to eat, just less appetizing,
34:19and proof that even a boiled egg has a precise chemical clock ticking inside it.
34:23All right, kind of cool.
34:23So we can make ourselves some green eggs and ham,
34:25or perhaps some gray eggs and ham, using the overboil method.
34:29I guess we'll leave it in for like 30, 40 minutes,
34:31and we'll see if this egg ultimately turns gray.
34:33I think it should work, right?
34:34I've never seen a gray egg, but we're in for a surprise.
34:36So is it true that an egg will actually turn green slash gray
34:39if you leave it boiling for about 15 to 20 minutes?
34:42Usually the top of an egg boiling is around 10 minutes, maybe 12 minutes,
34:45but if you let it go even further, this egg is going to turn gray.
34:48Well, the inside of it.
34:49So I have the water boiling right here.
34:50I'm going to drop it in, and we'll check back in in like 20 minutes or something,
34:53and we'll see what the egg looks like.
34:54Would be cool if we could have green eggs and ham.
34:56Let's try to make it.
34:57I'll see you in 20 minutes.
34:58Thank you for your service.
34:59Okay, let's check back in.
35:00Okay, guys, it has been exactly 35 minutes now,
35:03and this egg is completely boiled.
35:06I mean, the water's not even in there because it all evaporated.
35:08So I think it's time to turn this off
35:09and see whether or not we have a gray slash green egg.
35:12All right, very good.
35:13Let me go ahead and crack them open now.
35:16Okay, so pretty normal right now,
35:19but let's go to the inside of the egg.
35:21Wait a second, is that gray?
35:22I think we have a nice gray color.
35:25Look at that, gray eggs in 2026.
35:27And what about the inside?
35:28Okay, so the inside is just still the same color,
35:32but there is definitely a little bit of gray on the outside,
35:35which means that I would say this is ultimately a success.
35:38It's not green, but it's definitely gray.
35:40I mean, who can lie about that?
35:41We see it there in plain sight.
35:43So you weren't lying about that one.
35:44You can get a gray egg, not a green.
35:46That's a little bit of clickbait,
35:47but nonetheless, useful life hack if you want to have a gray egg,
35:49a little Halloween eggs or something.
35:52Not bad too.
35:53Okay, this is quite the interesting account.
35:55They have a quarter million subscribers.
35:56They're called Cube Dimensions,
35:58and it's basically Zack D. Films in Minecraft.
36:01And here's the video we're going to be watching.
36:02Can a target ball stop bullets?
36:05If you fired a bullet and you were shopping at Target,
36:06could you actually hide behind one of the massive balls?
36:09Now, the reason why these even exist...
36:11My guess is yes.
36:12...to ram a car through the front door of a Target.
36:14But if a person tried firing a 9mm bullet into one of the balls...
36:17I think it would stop it.
36:19That thing's crazy.
36:19If someone pulled out an assault rifle,
36:21its bullet would break off a huge chunk of the baller.
36:24However, if a .50 caliber bullet was coming your way...
36:27Would it go through?
36:27...there would be a massive explosion.
36:29Okay, but it looks like it would still protect the person behind it.
36:32All right, so unfortunately, I don't have the assets needed to test this out,
36:35but I do have a Target ball,
36:37and I do have a t-shirt cannon from another video
36:39that I think I can fire against this Target ball so we could run this test.
36:43All right, let's try it.
36:43So according to Cube Dimensions,
36:45a Target ball is actually able to stop a bullet,
36:47and in this case, I have a t-shirt cannon right here,
36:50and of course, I have a Target ball,
36:52so I feel like I'm the perfect person to test this.
36:54So what I'm going to do is from point-blank range,
36:56I'm going to shoot at this Target ball,
36:58and behind it, we have an egg that is held up by a paper towel,
37:02and it's right up against the red ball,
37:04so if there's even like a little bit of a shake by the Target ball,
37:06the egg is going to topple and break.
37:08This is actually a pretty good test scientifically
37:10to see whether or not Cube Dimensions video is true or not.
37:12All right, let's load this sucker up.
37:14Okay, it's on max, and here goes nothing.
37:15Three, two, one.
37:20I forgot how powerful that thing is.
37:22All right, let's check.
37:23How's our egg?
37:24Egg is completely fine,
37:26and it looks like the Target ball didn't go anywhere.
37:28Let's give it one more shot, though.
37:29I'm going to go a little bit closer.
37:30All right, take two.
37:31This is like three feet away from it,
37:33so we're really going to test Cube Dimensions video here.
37:36In three, two, one.
37:39All right, that was a direct hit.
37:41I think I see a little bit of a dent that kind of formed,
37:43and that's from a t-shirt.
37:44This thing was definitely hit, and how's our egg?
37:47Oh, would you looky there?
37:49The egg is perfect,
37:50which means that a Target ball is able to defend
37:53against at least a t-shirt cannon.
37:55All right, well, I knew he was sturdy,
37:56but it's good to prove it like that.
37:57Good job, Cube Dimensions.
37:58Cube Dimensions, if everybody,
37:59has like the highest quality videos as well.
38:01I feel like it's not even really like a copycat of Zach D Films,
38:04but nonetheless, we just figured out
38:05that that was actually a useful life hack,
38:06so you have to protect something,
38:07just put it behind your Target ball.
38:08Good to know.
38:09All right, here we have a channel called KKfilms,
38:12like F-I-I-L-M-S,
38:13so I'm guessing KKfilms with one eye was taken.
38:16Nonetheless, 71,000 subscribers on 256 videos,
38:20with one that has 90 million views.
38:22And here we have how to win a coin toss every time.
38:25I like how it says KKfilms on the coin,
38:27great branding,
38:28little watermark here as well.
38:29Don't forget who made this video.
38:30Flip the coin upwards.
38:33Okay.
38:33Make it appear as if the coin is spinning rapidly,
38:36but it's not.
38:37This trick doesn't actually make the coin spin,
38:39but rather moves it left and right.
38:41This is why-
38:42What?
38:42Back where you started,
38:44and this is how you win your bet every time.
38:48Subscribe.
38:48I just literally learned nothing from that.
38:51He's like,
38:51oh, but it wasn't actually flipping the whole time.
38:53You showed it,
38:54you animated it flipping,
38:55and then all of a sudden it stopped,
38:56but how are you supposed to do that?
38:57Oh my gosh,
38:58I hate all the incomplete information.
39:00So he's just saying,
39:01just spin it left to right,
39:02rather than spinning it like this.
39:03All right,
39:04I guess we're going to try this.
39:05All right,
39:05according to KKfilms,
39:06we are able to get the exact prediction right every time of heads or tails
39:10by doing the technique he showed,
39:12which is as follows.
39:13So place it on your middle finger,
39:14put your thumb underneath,
39:15and whatever it starts on,
39:16it's going to finish on,
39:17because we aren't actually flipping it.
39:19So he says that you just make it look like it's flipping,
39:21by just providing some sort of like horizontal movement of the coin.
39:25So instead of this,
39:26which is the flip,
39:28we are instead going to just do
39:32this.
39:33So I don't know if you guys are fooled by that.
39:35Like, let me know.
39:35Can you tell that I'm not actually flipping it?
39:39Maybe it's a good trick.
39:40All right, here we go.
39:40I'm starting on tails.
39:43Heads.
39:45Starting on tails.
39:48Heads.
39:49Starting on heads.
39:51Tails.
39:52Ooh!
39:53Can you guys tell?
39:54I mean, look,
39:54if I get heads, you subscribe.
39:55If I get tails, you subscribe.
39:56Here we go.
39:57Heads.
40:00Ooh.
40:02All right, KK Films.
40:04All right, all right.
40:04What about this?
40:05If I spin it?
40:05Heads.
