Chinese Knock Offs That Are Way Too Obvious

by producing a staggering 80 percent of the world's counterfeit goods china's copycat culture has become the most famous in the world from luxury gadgets and fashion to cheap snacks and food there's an identical chinese version of just about anything imitation may be the greatest form of flattery but some bootleggers know no bounds when it comes to ripping off a good idea with that let's take a look at some of the most side-splitting chinese knockoffs that are just way too obvious fast food does this establishment look finger-licking good to you well on a second look you might notice that colonel sanders isn't looking quite like himself in fact his famous face has been completely replaced by a younger chinese guy in a cap and what is kfg meant to stand for kentucky fried ginger everything from the logo down to the three-letter name of this fast food joint is a blatant copy of kfc and what's more even the interior looks the same but it's not the only joint trying to muscle in on the colonel's turf this utter abomination also shares the kfg name but it's taken it a step further by changing the tagline from finger looking good to the strangely suggestive nibble his chicken i wouldn't touch those nuggets if i were you although when it comes down to the taglines no one makes it more obvious than chyna's kmc who simply plastered kfc's phrase on their wall but this isn't kfc's first rodeo with chinese copycat cowboys they've added their own chinese market slogan in stores which reads relaxed friendly authentic it may be a chicken chain but kfc isn't hiding its beef with these fakers and it's not just the colonel who's been undermined the king has also been copied that is unless burger king's chinese franchises have changed their name to cheeseburger you'd have thought they'd have tried something a little more inventive like these guys who took it up a level to texas burger and even added in the little copyright symbol in the corner but guess what texas burger is an entirely different copyrighted chain of burger joints based in you'll never guess texas that's a one large copyright combo coming right up now to get all that texan heat out of your mouth wouldn't you like something cool and delicious from dairy queen well in china this ice cream monarch has a blatant imposter sitting on the throne called dairy fairy almost everything about these stores mimics the cold cream queen right down to the names of their products you want a world famous blizzard well at dairy fairy they'll serve you up a snowstorm i don't know about you but i was always taught not to eat the yellow snow up next we have the real copycat clown just take a look at wu zhao city bizarrely named burger joint michael alone you may not recognize the name but i bet you know those suspiciously shaped upside down golden arches or that strangely familiar clown mascot i see ronald mcdonald's weird cousin just showed up to the party but the best part about this mcdonald's knockoff is the tagline it hasn't quite got the same ring to it i'm like it gotta say i'm not loving it to michael alone's credit they did change their sign recently but it wasn't to remove the arches instead they just flipped the m in the name changing it to wycle alone i wonder if that means they sell big wax but all of these pale in comparison to the sheer number of chinese copycats that starbucks has to deal with the cafe's classic green white and black logo has seen some of the most brazenly obvious knockoffs such as sunbuks coffee usa box coffee zing bake coffee shop and qingdao stars buck coffee fnb what does fnb even stand for here fake and ballsy the copycat trend got so out of hand that it even spread into the neighboring korea which set up and brace yourself for this one star coffee that's just offensive how dare they spell coffee that wrong if you like your coffee like you like your youtube videos hot fresh and damn fine be sure to hit those like and subscribe buttons and don't think about reaching for the sugar because i put out sweet new videos every day filled to the brim with freshly ground facts and superior quality stories and speaking of quality or lack thereof let's take a look at even more of china's most obvious knockoffs stores china really puts the convenience in conveniently looks like another brand especially when it comes to their 7-eleven rip-off granted 7-elevens name comes from its extended opening hours of 7am to 11pm and this 712 seems to be named after that same logic but that color palette and logo layout are unforgivably obvious copies that's one big gulp of copyright infringement have you ever walked into a sneaker store looked at the products and thought what if this isn't genuine nike well worry no more because china has a bunch of knockoff nike shoe stores under the oddly ticked naibi brand the name change is almost sneaky enough to go unnoticed with the bee looking convincingly like a k but what is up with that trademark tick it looks like a duck that's been tipped forward maybe the odd shape is intentional so they can change their tagline to just duck it but nike aren't the only brand seeing sneaky sneaker knock-offs one shameless copycat created an entire fake yeezy store in the middle of wenzhau city complete with yeezy founder kanye west's cartoon as its logo that's an insanely bold move considering that yeezy don't have any dedicated stores yet and even though they're fake they still sport that real yeezy price some of their basic boots rack up to about 150 dollars a pair but others like these flower power fakes reach a whopping 300 forget running for president kanye might want to focus on running these guys out of town however the peace day resistance of china's shopfront scams has got to be this diamond in the rough it may make you titter but i doubt the ceos of the prestigious tiffany and co company are laughing about it the high-class jewelers have had the style and color scheme of their brands taken by a tiny clothing store at a mall in hong kong and thanks to an amazing mistranslation the shop owners have made real boobs out of themselves with that name perhaps they realized the mistake they made and then whacked at the sign anyway just to make the breast of a bad situation alcohol china has a pretty serious problem with fake alcohol dangerous bathtub brewed booze with fake labels make up as much as a third of the country's alcohol while some look convincing others like these bottles of a johnny worker are much easier to spot i wonder if johnny worker has any relation to johnny walker the famous scotch whiskey distiller their red label whiskey is distilled blended and bottled in scotland but this red labial stuff seems to have been distilled blended and molded in yantai tianji hmm i've never heard of that part of scotland before this must be that new geography well if that's put you off johnny walker maybe stick to something safe like old reliable jack daniels except the longer you look at this bottle of the iconic whiskey the more wrong it gets despite the similar black and white style of the label that doesn't say jack daniels that says jones dance and while jack daniels is made in tennessee this has been made in tenderness well it actually lists a winery in shandong china as its source but i bet they're hoping whoever drinks this is too drunk to tell the difference last up on the fake alcohol front we have 20 20 in a bottle serrano a beer that looks a little too similar to corona to be a coincidence not only does the label and name look near identical to this mexican beer but serrano also claims to be a superior quality mexico brand and yet it's been made in beijing i have a lot of questions but at least this beer rip-off won't be left untouched at the supermarket like its western counterpart toys the star wars franchise famously takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away but not far enough to stop china from ripping off their lego line of merchandise at first this looks like a legitimate toy thai fighter complete with a stormtrooper mask and a range of nondescript figures from the series but even with the copied font it's not enough to distract from the name space wars what's more the iconic shape and color of the lego logo has been copied by a company called bayla that's two big brand name knockoffs in one you've gotta admit that's impressive so this is how liberty dies with thunderous applause but that's not the only disturbance in the force the franchise has felt just look at this bogus box how are you even meant to say that star woodeners star winners star wieners at least lego lookalike lepen is a little easier on the tongue even if it is a forgery even though some chinese lego knockoffs can look like the real deal there's one franchise that definitely doesn't with its helmet of hair oddly lidded eyes and creepy expression this toy looks more like the kind of stranger your mom told you not to talk to than comedy legend mr bean as i'm sure you've guessed it wasn't lego behind this terrifying knickknack but a chinese knockoff company called jia li bao who also copied the red square design of lego's logo it was based on the family-friendly animated adventures of mr bean but i don't think a reputable toy manufacturer would think this demonic design was appropriate for kids but kids don't just have illegitimate lego to worry about as proven by this creepy pikachu and spongebob squarepants collaboration wish you have a nice day i sure won't after seeing that abomination counterfeit kids shows characters often wind up mashed together in a terrifying mix of faces body parts and names to be as disturbingly recognizable as possible like this pack of super s heroes even though you can see mr incredible and power rangers on the packaging the contents make no sense i mean you've got spiderman superman with a chinstrap beard batman who has seen some things a couple of insanely shredded power rangers and this guy who is he meant to be the crimson chin the scarlet sucker punch the knockoff knight have you got any better names let me know in the comments have you ever seen the titanic movie you know the one set in 1912 where a boat peacefully traversing the north atlantic suddenly changes into a transformer and fights a giant iceberg oh wait did it not have a transformer in it then how do you explain the titanic bot that's right made in china someone there clearly thought the tragic tale of the sunken ship would make a sick transformer toy for the kids i guess that's one way to teach them about history but if you thought it was just boys toys chyna would botch so badly take a good look at the outstandingly named blandness girl mobile phone toy between the disney font and blonde barbie cartoon it's pretty clear what vibe they were going for but there seems to have been a breakdown in communication around the name i know barbie has a personality that's about as deep as a puddle but blandness girl is putting it way too bluntly and once more the front of the phone says benign girl while it can mean kind or compassionate it's also a word used to classify cancerous tumors i wonder if she has a best friend called malignant margaret food because absolutely nothing is sacred anymore some of your favorite branded snacks have also had the chinese copycat treatment m ms used to have a classic simple packaging like this but they made it too easy to rip off as china's own version of the snack had an almost identical package with the two m's flipped upside down i wonder if the guy who designed this is the same one who did michael alone's logo now if it's a nutty chocolate treat on the go that you're craving you might confuse your pot of nutella and go with china's matter-of-factly named chocolate good this rip-off takes it to a whole other level not only did they steal the entire color and font design from nutella they also plastered their crappy copy logo over the same nutella pot look the breadsticks are in the exact same position the bad english tagline delicious to share with you makes no sense and as if they couldn't get any lazier the brand name is literally just chocolate that really puts the sweet in sweet jesus oreo the famous creamville chocolate biscuit sandwich has some god-tier struggles when it comes to companies ripping off its design from indonesia's goryorio to egypt's boreo and most problematically of all portugal's black power oh boy you keep using the horde i don't think it means what you think it means but it's the chinese knockoffs that really take the biscuit from the packet oleos look like any other blue and white oreo knockoff but it gets worse when you open them unlike a real oreo they don't have oleo's name baked onto the top of them and they're all woefully under-filled with cream but china didn't stop with just one off ords are another shameless copy of oreo's sweet sandwich cookie right down to the font they also come in another nightmarish looking flavor what do you think that bright red filling could be strawberry raspberry communism let me know in the comments below now the most audacious of all these food forgeries is one that already defies belief i can't believe it's not butter is an american margarine brand with a name that was just too good for china not to hilariously mistranslate unbelievable this is not butter is a copycat spread that's made all the better by its lack of trans fats cholesterol and punctuation health when it comes to health many people invest in the best products to look after themselves but in china that can be difficult seeing how similar some counterfeit products look just look at brands like creve c teeth and clippy anything stand out to you like how they look suspiciously similar to crest and colgate especially when they're compared like this the tiny yellow banner in the corner there reads new breakthrough which is probably referring to the plagiarized packaging rather than the paste itself one thing's for sure it isn't referring to that monumentally uninventive name i mean sea teeth really if you're looking for a run-of-the-mill shampoo without all the bells and whistles then maybe this chinese knockoff is the one for you okay shampoo may look like an average anti-dandruff cleanser but it's actually got a dirty secret it's a clear counterfeit of skincare giant olay's body wash products right down to the placement of the logo aside from the name there's nothing okay about this blatant rip-off clothes when it comes to clothes china is the absolute king of counterfeits the fake markets of beijing and shanghai are so notorious that they become a tourist hotspot in recent years with some of their products near impossible to tell apart from the real things although some products like these iphone branded boots stand out for all the wrong reasons while apple has been expanding out into wearable tech for some time i don't think this is what they had in mind but it could be worse just ask sports brand puma with this colossal copycat fail they've not even bothered to try and change the font and while it's not uncommon to see a puma leaping and lunging china's national animal the panda isn't exactly known for its athleticism it's not the only unexpected animal to be found in the counterfeit scene in a weird but bold fashion move the uk cartoon character pepper pig has become a high fashion fakery focus popular chinese stars like angela baby and yangmi sported the little pink pig on their shirts back in 2017. it encouraged counterfeiters to ride the trend wave and start intertwining the cartoon with faux labels like chanel dior gucci and louis vuitton the bizarre brand overlap even made it onto bucket hats and to be honest looking at some of their other weird oat couture hats it doesn't look totally out of place although when it comes to faux fashion no one suffers quite as much as american skateboarding brand supreme or super me if you're in china this dubious misspelling and similar styling makes it onto everything from sandals to t-shirts but these misspelt knockoffs are the least of supreme's problems back in 2019 a huge supreme megastore opened up in the middle of shanghai on the surface it seemed legitimate until you read the slogan that was plastered on the wall we're just having fun we don't care who see being a billion dollar company you'd think supreme could afford to check their grammar so it might not surprise you to learn that this entire mega store is one mega knockoff in fact supreme didn't even have a trademark in china until 2020 but when fans of the brand saw the inside of the fake store compared to its authentic new york counterpart they were left jealous some even said they preferred the interior of the fake brand store over the real one which do you think looks better tech technology is where china's counterfeit market truly outdoes itself some of the knockoffs look so good that they can make even the real ones look fake but when they fail they look spectacularly wrong like these counterfeit iphones or should i call them eye pairs aside from the pear-shaped logo making them stand out they also sport a website at their bottom sadly it no longer seems to be in service although putting your website on this blatant forgery took a serious pair but it's not the worst iphone forgery that exists say hello to the goo apple a frankenstein phone designed to look like an iphone running google's android operating system with an ios interface to some it looks like the best of both worlds but others see it as a high-tech abomination which category do you think it falls into what you may not know is that the goo apple isn't google's first counterfeit cross-brand conundrum although i hope this one is the last you're looking at the logo for gucci.com a chinese knockoff search engine you probably recognize the style of the letters from the old google logo but that blue paw comes from baidu.com another search engine that's more popular in china it first appeared back in 2010 after google threatened to pull out of the chinese market just days later guji was up and running they didn't even wait until google's chinese grave was cold and speaking of graves not even death will dissuade china from copying a product as this banner horrendously shows it's advertising a knockoff ipad called the action pad held by asia's answer to the famously dead steve jobs from the trademark black turtleneck to the closely cropped hair and spectacles it's so obviously meant to be the american tech entrepreneur who passed away in 2011 and that's not a detail they conveniently forgot about just look at the angel wings and halo while i don't think this is steve talking to china beyond the grave i do think he's probably spinning in his films when most people think of piracy the images that spring to mind is illegally downloading films or buying bootleg dvds from black market street vendors but the chinese film industry is copying much more than that and the proof is in the posters take the ides of march for example it was a 2011 political drama that featured ryan gosling and george clooney and its promotional poster was cleverly designed to reflect the two-faced nature of the political world but later that very same year china released the cheaply produced lao non-rendli changi with a very familiar promo photo while it followed the tale of two men it didn't have anything to do with politics and the alternative posters displayed what the film really entailed friendship and death looks like they were just trying to steal a little of the ides of march's shine in success seeing as it made almost 78 million dollars worldwide at the box office another copy casualty was the 2009 poster for robert downey jr's sherlock holmes movie it made a staggering 520 million dollars at the box office that year thanks in part to its well-designed promotional images the bluish paneled wall and murky looking fog gave off the feeling of a grimy victorian-era england but in 2011 an unrelated chinese tv series called detective tonglong used this exact same style backdrop did they think no one would notice it's a detective show for crying out loud although posters for kids films and animations have been just as easy to copy cars 2 was released in 2011 by american company disney to the joy of many fans but just four years later the shamelessly similar the autobots rolled out onto china's silver screens to add insult to injury the autobot's creator insisted that he had never seen any movies in the cars franchise before i'll believe that once disney's lawsuit with them is settled but the animation knockoff station has one final departure in the form of the smash hit zootopia in a world once again created by america's disney the promotional poster shows a reimagined urban jungle inhabited by human-like animals it's perfectly fun bright and kid-friendly so when the film crazy toy city was released in china in 2016 they simply lifted the promotional posters entire layout looking at the two side by side it's impossible to miss the similarities the crosswalk sign the street sign the shape of the main character's ears even the angle the image is taken from but the film's producers msi and wuhan digital media have insisted that crazy toy city is entirely original i'll believe that when i sprout bunny ears in a tail have you ever come across a knockoff that's just way too obvious or would you like me to cover another country's hilarious copycat product fails let me know in the comments below and thanks for watching you
