- Uh...
- I'm crying. - This may surprise you, but counterfeit Linus Tech Tips merch has actually existed for longer than real Linus Tech Tips merch. So for a laugh, we rounded up every fake LTT product we could find on Amazon, Ali Express, and others, ordered all of it, and I am going to be unboxing
and reviewing it for you guys. I think this is gonna be a lot of fun. (upbeat music) Oh my God, this is awful. I hope I didn't pay too much for it. Just like I hope our
sponsor didn't pay too much for this sloppily recorded
outside of the video sponsor spot. Are you lagging out while gaming? Use GlassWire and see what

LINUS at the link down below. (upbeat music) This one's off amazon.ca, and it is the WXZDH Linus Tech Tips Men's Comfortable T-shirt
and Hats Combination Black. WXZDH is not a brand. You got some loose threads here. Okay, no, I don't know if I would describe this construction really,
it feels pretty cheap. I would expect that the cost, like materials cost, on
this hat's like a dollar. Okay, what about the shirt though? What about the shirt? Oh, I was gonna to say,
the shirt's not bad, but that print quality, Lordy. There's a reason we had
these things printed with our supplier here down the street. There's just no substitute
for the care and attention of someone who cares and pays attention. (Linus laughing) How old is this logo? This is ancient. We haven't used this logo in years. How much work is it to actually line up the two layers of the print? So you can see, with some colors, you actually have to do a white layer before you do your color layer, and they went so cheap and
so sloppy on the orange ink that it doesn't even cover, and you can actually see
the white through it, especially at the edges. The T-shirts not bad. Our merch team said that apparently the hat smells really bad, so now, oh, it does smell really bad. Oh, what the hell? Why? Oh. Oh, I'll be modeling all this
merch for you as you go out, this is a really shallow hat, like, okay. How do I look, David? - [David] You could go to a 70's party. (Linus laughing) - Linus Tech Tips boxer briefs, L-Inus Te-ch Ti-ps. (plastic rustling) They even know they're
infringing our trademark. This is 95% polyester, 5% spandex. Ride up problem is caused by choosing a smaller size than you need, please check your leg circumference. Okay, this is great. Keeps your stuff in place. It has two sets of
quotation marks on stuff. Oh, white inside,
particularly with the V1 ones, we would have strongly
preferred, a more vibrant color, and one of the ways to
get a more vibrant color on your print is to have a
white fabric that you then dye. New guy, do you want white
insides of your underwear? I'm not saying you look
like a skid marker, that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying, David, would you want white
insides of your underwear? - [David] Oh, most definitely not. - Most definitely not. I mean, we all knew this was
gonna be an awkward shoot before it began. So man, I didn't realize quite how naked I was gonna be getting today. I thought this was all gonna
be like T-shirts and stuff. That's what happens when you
ask Sarah to scour the internet for counterfeit merch. I know it sucks, but- Oh, wait a second. This doesn't even have a, you can't even, how do you pee? There's no thing. Oh, yeah, how do I look? They're very shiny. - [David] You look like you're
about to take a bike ride. - Without getting into too much detail about how the anatomy of stuff works, this is a really square pouch. (Linus laughs) It's just flat, see? It doesn't actually have a pouch. This is way more awkward
than I actually expected. Let's have a look at the merch
team's notes on this one. The white fabric color shows through where the material is stretched. Oh yeah, I didn't even notice that. Look how different the color
of this is when you stretch it. What is this? Avber Mens Women Headband
L-Inus Te-Ch Ti-Ps Fashion Quick Dry Moisture
Wicking Sports Sweatband for Yoga, Running, Basketball, Cycling. Anti-skid design. Too bad the underwear didn't have that. Hey. All right, all right. Show me this headband. It looks terrible. It's sewn at the back, so you
can't unfold it all the way, and then it's like big at the front. I mean, do I just look like an idiot? - [David] No, you look
like you're on Survivor. - Oh, good. Super easy to clean, just
rinse it out in the sink, and hang it up to air-dry. No, that is not actually
how you clean things. You know what? Okay, all right, all right. This one's not that bad. I could get into this one. It kind of bunches up
weird at the back though. That's not really very comfortable. Oh, next up, we've got a beanie. We've got a tuque. Oh wow, it looks terrible. And why does it say fashionable T-Obie Ke-Ith Hedging
Head Hat for Men Women? What is a head hat? This is not a beanie at all. Hold on a second, this is the same thing. It feels like the same quality bag that you get for free with like
your power supply, you know? - [David] Oh, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, like that's what it feels like. Oh, it's not uncomfortable,
it's really tight. Okay, just a sec. - [David] Ew. - [Sarah] Looks like
you're going swimming. - [David] Yeah. (Sarah laughing) - The model's just got it
kind of like floppy doodling in the back here.
- Ew. - Hold on one second, where's the logo? Just, okay, wait a minute, this print is a completely different size from what's in the picture. I would have to do a
whole turn on the catwalk for anyone to know what
brand I'm wearing here. This is it, proof's in the pudding, baby. This is a dramatically superior product. I mean, it does cost twice as
much, but it's like, come on. How much better do I look
right now, LTTstore.com? But part of the deal here is I actually have to wear
the counterfeit merch. That's why I'm wearing the
underwear and this ugly shirt. Oh, there's a mouse pad. Well, we've been out of
stock of our mousepad for quite some time. Maybe a counterfeit mouse
pad is your solution to having an LTT mousepad. This one actually looks pretty good. It's three millimeter rubber, ours is three and a half. I found the extra little
bit of cushion was nice. All right, hit me with this one. This is the least crappy counterfeit merch we've seen so far. It's not as big as it seems like it's gonna be in the picture. This is a very deceptive looking picture. The measurements are in the
product description though, so, okay, all right. It's currently unavailable
because, as we know, it's impossible to keep
an LTT mousepad in stock, but actually not bad. And they at least ripped
off our current logo. I think this has been
modified from that fan version that we got permission
to use for that wallpaper that we use all the time. Overall, I wouldn't be
like furious if I got this. Our black is blacker. Okay, well little things. So we're not gonna be switching suppliers to one that ripped off
our products anytime soon. Next up we've got the Linus
Tech Tips GPU sweatshirt, oh, this is pretty straight forward then. So they just took our GPU T-shirt design, threw it on a sweatshirt. Our apparels with outstanding quality are screen printed and
designed in the USA. I can tell you for a
fact that that artwork was not designed in the USA. Hit me with it. (upbeat music) This is dog (beeps). - [Sarah] I gagged when I looked at it. - They aren't printing
with gold foil at all. This is just yellow, and you know what it actually looks like? Is they just took like a thumbnail
sized picture of the gold and then blew it up to sweatshirts size. Also this does say it's a hoodie. This doesn't even have a hood. Like I get it, guys, we're
working on sweatshirts, we really are, we just
haven't found anything that meets our standard, and this sure as heck isn't gonna be it. Just buy the gray crewneck. Okay? It's French Terry, it's super heavy. It's got like stealthy pockets with zippers and and all of that. Someone made a Linus
Etch Tips throwpillow. How did you find this stuff? - [Sarah] Magic. A lot of searching. - All right, hit me with it. (upbeat music) Now that's something
you need looking at you from your couch. You know what? This one's not bad. It's like if I ordered this, and I was like I want
Linus' face on a pillow, creepily staring at me, you up? (Sarah laughing) Mission accomplished,
ladies and gentlemen. Are they allowed to use Linus' picture? No. You know what? New award, best counterfeit
merch, this pillow. It needs a better fill,
with like more alpaca wool, like our CPU pillow. This is a much higher
quality pillow right here. 23 US dollars, I'm okay with buying this. Still, what they're doing is
illegal, and they better stop. Linus Etch Tips throw blanket. (upbeat music) This thing is huge. What?
(upbeat music) I don't know why anyone
in their right mind needs to own this, but now they can. When you go like this
you can tell the dye job is not very good, like there's
there's problems with it. But if we could find a good supplier, do you guys want something like this? I mean, you've got to let
us know in the comments. If you see anything. This picture, it looks so bad. The one on the bed, where my
face is all like distorted. You see this thing? - [David] Ew!
(Sarah laughing) - I'll be watching the rest
of this unboxing eagerly. Apparently we've got a T-shirt coming up. This is also from Red Bubble, hit me. The good news is that, at least from the pictures of this one, I have very low
expectations of the quality. Cold wash only, don't tumble dry. Don't slap pandas. I can get behind that, I
wouldn't slap a Panda either. This is a really crappy T-shirt. Comfy material, just really thin. How distorted does my face look right now? - [David] It is unrecognizable. - [Linus] Cool. - [David] It also looks
like you have two mouths. - They're custom printing these obviously, like nobody, in their right
mind, would mass produce this. The print quality is actually not bad. Here come leggings. - [David] Yeah, baby. - This poor stock model,
I think it's the same one from the last one. Do not slap Pandas, so
this is from the same brand as the shirt I'm wearing. So I could have a matching ensemble here. If you have it on, Linus'
face will stretch out on different parts of the leg. (David laughing) Thanks, Sarah. You got the wide face,
you've got the narrow face, you've got the short face. How do I look? Like do these make my butt look big? - [Sarah] I think
they're flattering, yeah. - Are they flattering? Okay. I also have two pairs of
underwear for support though. So.
(David laughing) what the hell is a face skirt? (David laughing) - [David] Back to the lab. - Why the hell would anybody buy this? I'd love to be able to
see on a site like this how many units they've ever sold ever? 'Cause I bet the number
for this one is zero. (Sarah laughing) - [Sarah] Your butt looks great now. - Does it? I got four layers now, it's tight. I've never worn a skirt before, but my understanding is you're supposed to kind of sit like this in them. Right? - Yeah, definitely.
- Okay, cool. Oh my God. There's socks.
(Sarah laughing) The ink is really saturated. It feels sticky and hard is what the merch team has
to say about these socks. Oh, these look horrible. What's uglier? My ugly feet or this ugly sock? Head to toe Linus Tech Tips, baby. How sexy am I right now,? You know what? To their credit, the
over-saturation of the color actually is reduced by
stretching it out on my foot. So it's intentional. It's a feature, not a bug. Oh my God. There's a mask. Just, just give it to me. (Sarah laughing) Look at this, look at this Photoshop. (David laughing)
(upbeat music) (Linus laughing) Oh, what now? What is a Peekaboo pocket T-Shirt? Can you show me this? (Sarah laughing)
(David laughing) This looks like dog crap. This mask is horrible
and my breath is bad. We managed to attract a crowd. - [Male] This one's not for sale. - Don't miss the show
here, ladies and gentlemen. What is this? LTT Essential T-shirt Comic Sans logo. Why? I mean, they Comic Sans'd our logo. This is so unhappy. LTT Essential Shirt Shirt,
hit me with this one. The print quality is just atrocious. There's a hole in it. They've got a hole in the print. There's an Etsy one. It's a CPU pillowcase. This seller got banned within
a few weeks of us ordering it. So there's no link anymore. Assembled in the USA. All right, hit me with it. (Linus laughing) This is supposed to be the CPU pillow. I says, pardon? (Linus laughs) I think not. How much did I pay for this atrocity? - [Sarah] I think it was like $40. - What? $40? - [Sarah] And it didn't
even come with a pillow. - Oh, there's a components
lightweight sweatshirt. Oh, okay. They ripped off that design that we did as a crew only design, and
the printing is terrible. Okay, all right. This is the last piece
of counterfeit merch that I will put on today. Ew, the inside feels terrible. It looks like a movie
theater logo in the nineties. Hey, we designed that. Well, you didn't, I know. Oh, I can't believe this stuff exists. I hope you guys enjoyed this. If you want real LTT merch,
please go to LTTstore.com. We got underwear in stock. We got water bottles. We have much better tuques than this gross, horrible
thing that I'm wearing. And you know what? There is a lack of Linus face printed on absolutely
everything you can think of, but I can't believe our poor sponsor sponsored this video. Want to make your own website

(all laughing)
No homo but I'm jealous of how nice Linus' legs and ass look
I would buy the blanket for the lulz if lttstore.com sold it.
I wonder if the availability in fake merch is driven by the meh shipping options outside the US?
I'd love a tee or two, but the shipping is 50% of the product price again, and upto a month! Just bulk-send to a supplier Europe side already! (or have some produced in Europe with permission)
