the way this CEO dresses, the way he talks, the way he sells energy drinks with something called Super Creatine in it. This is literally something out of that movie Idiocracy

I work at Starbucks and I can wholeheartedly say that people still believe that fat is the problem rather than sugar. People regularly get drinks with more than double the recommended sugar intake and then get it with nonfat milk to make it "healthy".

“Super creatine has a half life of 7 days, largely due to the amount of plutonium I put in it” - Daddy Bang, 2022

This guy seems like the kind of guy to try to convince the government to replace the water in Flint Michigan with bang energy

Suing Monster for heart attacks is like suing Heineken for liver failure.

It's easy to forget that Charlie studied nutrition in college until he pulls out some wild facts about L-leuicine

You know you're close to an economic collapse when almost everything is a scam

Jack is like every antagonist in 2010’s adult animated cartoons

Not just a mega-lawsuit, it's a super-lawsuit that has a half-life of roughly 7 days

The irony in Bang calling out Monster for not being safe to drink is hilarious.

That was so sad when the fiancé said “I don’t know what I like/don’t like.” That’s a massive red flag for controlling and abusive behavior. Shame.

There is 100% a caffeine issue going on in society rn. As you mentioned, drinks like Bang, Reign, even Blck rifle coffee has 300mg of caffeine. There’s now caffeine seltzer water, caffeinated gum, granola bars, etc…. I know multiple people who can put down multiple cans of bang per day, for years, and not be over energized. Our tolerances are slowly being jacked up while the concentrations get higher. I’ve since moved away from those daily cans of energy drink, now reserved for special occasions(also, I did buy Bang over others due to the creatine claims, I felt and saw a physical difference on/off the bang train). Even healthy, young adults who are dedicated to fitness will drink one or two cans, coupled with “pre-workout”, which is just powdered caffeine. Monster may have more lawsuits or whatever, but they’ve also been around the longest, right? I’ve never looked it up, but I’m my experience in northern New England over the last 20 years, Red Bull and Monster were the OG energy drinks. Bang only appeared in my area ten ish years ago. Red Bull maintains a respectable concentration of like, 70mg/8oz can,so only a little more than coffee. But, bang has at least twice that per. It’s going to be interesting to see in some years if heart complications in young adults increases.

Charlie losing his shit trying to find pictures of this man’s youth is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time.

Bang’s CEO trying to prove that Super Creatine existing is like someone trying to prove that the Super Devil exists.

extended/consistent Caffeine use can cause arterial stiffness and buildup in the arteries, which can cause heart attacks and strokes.

3:51 Charlie: “Actually, it’s not the sugar making everyone fat, it’s the fat…” My Brain: “ITS THE FAT MAKING EVERYONE SUGAR”

You know Bang is on it's way out when Dollar Tree starts getting massive amounts of it

Man, im an ex-account sales manager for Bang and let me just tell ya. Things were pretty crazy over there. Over all actually a pretty cool place to work but dude, the CEO was nuts. We had a Christmas party one year where he flew everyone out to Florida and in his speech said that he was happy everyone was there for him. Dude, we came for the party not you. His biggest mistake was handing over distribution for Bang to Pepsi. That's when everything tanked. Not great management either that kept threatening to fire us if we didn't hit numbers every month. The entire branch I worked out ended up being liquidated. (Take that ---- and your "If you make yourself indispensable then the company will always take care of you" bs) Edit: Charlie if you're curious at all to know any inside questions I'd be happy to let you know. Some pretty crazy stuff happened like the Christmas parties having open bars and women flashing everyone while Mr. Worldwide himself was performing. Or the time when my general manager told me to wait in the conference room, closed the door and said he'd fight me cause he thought I was talking behind his back. Edit #2 : Some of yall missing the point. It might be "cool" but the flashing is sexual harassment. If it was dudes it'd be completely different. This was also encouraged and written off. CEO was nuts because of the stuff he'd tell us for our meetings (if it isn't obvious in his videos) the party example was me referring to his narcissism. There was alot of office romances/hook ups including with married couples. Inappropriate comments towards the Fuel team(bang girls) from employees and management. SOME of these girls were just girls trying to pay their bills and what not that didn't enjoy the attention but it was a super easy job. Just saying there was a ton more dirt under the surface than any other job I've worked at and I've worked at a bunch of jobs. Lastly im not trying to accomplish anything, just thought it interesting to share and feed Charlie's blooming obsession with Jack.

bang energy is the type of drink that wouldn’t exist without social media

12:20 the sound of your heart after a bang

Could you imagine in the 80s being called a conspiracy theorist for saying something as simple as sugar causes people to gain fat

The only way Bang could get out of this is to make more hype houses. That went amazing. Also they should discover supercaffeine. Sure others call it coke but it’s like potato tomato

15:58 That look he gave her absolutely screams 'ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP'.

Gotta remember, Monster also makes Reign, which was created in response to BANG. Marketed the same way Bang is too.

Wow, Bang must've messed up badly if Charlie couldnt even find the words to describe the CEO's shenanigans

Hearing that Bang might stay in my body for 7 days is horrifying.

I did tree work at the CEO of Bangs house. It was a really nice place, and he's a super nice guy. He ordered Jimmy johns for my whole 5 man crew at lunchtime and tipped us each a hundred bucks when we were done.

At one point in my first freshman semester of college, I grew severely addicted to bang energy trying to stay up and do essays. One day I drank 3 of them in the same day. I don't know why I did, but it was 900mg of caffeine (between the 3 cans). I have adhd already, but that day where I had that caffeine, I had the biggest boost of energy of my life. I went down to the campus rec center and ran on the treadmil and then I went back up to my dorm. I could not sleep for the next 2 days. I was so jacked that I forgot to eat the next day. By the time the boost finally wore off, I was left feeling empty, shaky, had literal psychosis

I unironically love the way he dresses. The super gaudy, kitch form of new wealth that it screams is just... _perfect_

He talks about how Monster has caused heart attacks but didn't talk about how Bang has 300 mg of caffeine while Monster has somewhere around 160 to 180 mg. Obviously Bang is more potentially dangerous for your heart in terms of caffeine dosage. I'm glad Charlie pointed this out in the video.

Was his claim that L-Leucine only chemically bonds to super creatine? And if you don’t have super creatine you don’t get the benefits of L-Leucine? 💀 bro is wildin

Drinking game : Take a shot everytime he says 'what about you'

Imaging having to go through life and never being able to speak a full sentence without mentioning Super Creatine.

My friends dad passed away from a mainly monster. He used to drink about 3-6 cans a day. It was his main source of consumption. He would have stacks of garbage bags full of monster. Took him roughly 6 years of continuous consumption before he died. But he had lots of health complications prior to from kidney stones and lots of dramatic changes in his heart rates.

"It's not unique to bang" - Charles White, 2022

You ever look at someone and think "yep. That person is evil." Bang ceo makes me think that... So does Billy Mitchel. And my high school principal who cheated on his wife.

When my mum first called paramedics and it was discovered she had atrial fibrillation, one of the first things she was asked was if she’d had any energy drinks. She’s in her 60s, but apparently it had been such a common cause of those sorts of health issues in people. I think this might’ve been around when some extra caffeinated versions of energy drinks were being promoted too so maybe that was part of it, but it was made very clear to her that energy drinks were potentially quite dangerous. They didn’t just ask if she’d been drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages; it was specifically energy drinks they’d asked about. People who drink multiple cans per day of that stuff worry me.

I love how he refers to creatine by it's chemical name, but continues to throw around his self made buzzwords super creatine

13:01 omg danny

Bang CEO looks both 9 and 63 simultaneously

Anyone who is surprised by this is the exact type of person who would be a fan of Bang

With the red chair behind him, it took me a second to figure out that he wasn't attempting a bang-inspired Doctor Strange cosplay

8:31 this implies his children aren’t part of his family

Penguinz sarcasm on this video had me laughing to hell 🤣

The cut from the intro to Jack looking like hes cosplaying as a comic book villan killed me.

I am still suprised that Jack has never gone all the way and gotten frosted tips

bro said the late albert einstein like he had just died 💀

When I told a coworker that bang didn't actually have super creatine in it he literally told me "that's the only reason I drink it"

0:04 this right here, ladies and gentlemen, is why Charlie is still the best actor in the Hungry Game franchise

That wasn't a double bass Charlie. That was his heart rate.

I'm waiting for the moment Jack yells "The Super Creatine, the Super Creatine is real"

for a company named bang energy, bankruptcy isnt a very “flashy” ending

This man looks exactly how teenage me would imagine the CEO of an energy drink company would look. I will say Bang definitely helped me survive my masters degree so while I’m not saddened I do feel a nod of respect to the drink.

Whenever he says, “What about you?” it just brings up the Starship Troopers, “Would you like to know more?”

L-Leucine is an essential amino acid known for maintaining muscle mass it's found in everyday foods like Salmon, Brown Rice, Eggs, Nuts and Beef.

I won't say who, but I am a RM for a major US convenient store company. We've already reduced 75% of the Bang we carry on our shelves, and plan to completely remove it by the end of the year. As entertaining as this all has been, it's at it's end.

In my early 20s I spent a summer working insane hours to send money to family and was pounding the big cans of red bull all day for weeks. My dumb ass ended up being dragged to the ER by a coworker after almost passing out in the middle of shopping. It felt like someone had dropped a boulder on my chest. The lining of my heart was inflamed. Now I can't even handle a cup of coffee its like my body hates caffeine now. And bang has twice the caffeine?! Yikes.

That drum solo warrants another 200 million lawsuit alone

I don't drink energy drinks in general precisely because I drank a whole can of Bang to try and stay awake at work, and almost having a heart attack. My chest pain was immense that day. From now on, I'll just stick to Celsius and soda.

Less than a week ago I had what felt like a heart attack at work. I was 2/3rds of the way through a bang energy, recently switched from coffee to them. I would only drink one on days when I had work. I thought 300 mg caffeine and sugar free from bang would be healthier than the 900+ mg caffeine I had been drinking before I switched. Had breakfast, had a full thing of liquid death before drinking the bang. Wasn't dehydrated and was literally trying to be healthier. The top left part of my chest seized up, my arm, neck and shoulder were in agonizing pain. I had slight nausea and it took about 40 minutes for the clutched fist in my chest to finally go away but before that I ended up blacking out for a moment while standing up. Was in the middle of a lunch rush and it took me a bit to realize my vision was wrong afterwards. Everything had a fish eye lense effect on it and my head was sluggish. Like if I turned my head it felt like my brain lagged behind. Dumped the bang out and haven't had any caffeine since. I'm 27 and focusing on my health now. Amusingly everyone says I look like shit/sad/not my "usual chipper self" now and keep asking if I'm okay lol

I swear Charlie could make a video about chairs and make it interesting

I used to drink a bang a day my senior in high school, eventually I had to stop because it started giving me panic attacks

2:27 he looks like the embodiment of greed in that suit

Charlie is the kind of person to go to funerals and spend a good a really good 7-8 mins js looking at the body with a straight face while others r bawling

Just when we thought Charlie went silent, he hit us with a Bang

the way the CEO talks about "test subjects" gives me "supervillain mad scientist" vibes

Jack cannot make a poker face to save his life and it is hilarious

When I was diagnosed with panic disorder I was warned against too much caffeine, the most I have on a daily basis is a cup of tea. Once when I was tired at work I threw caution to the wind and had a can of Rubicon Raw and my heart was fluttering. I felt so energetic but I kept pressing the same button at work for an hour straight. Never again.

Bang going out of business means I'll start falling asleep in chemistry but it's probably a good thing for my liver

I drank bang energy once and felt like I was going to have a heart attack for the next 30 minutes

8:30 he‘s making it sound like the only goal of monster energy is to destroy is his family and i died laughing

Lmao I can picture Jack Owoc as the type to occasionally rip a line slam a Bang and just go absolutely mindless on his drum set.

They went out with a bang

All she has to do is put up with him until she puts Lysol in his orange juice and inherits a drowning company.

This guy is the definition of "hello fellow kids"

This is one of the most energy drink company moments of all time

I used to drink Bang almost every day for a few years. I swore by the super-creatine too, I felt like I was high on life after I'd drink those things, but I did find stuff saying it's also fake. I couldn't tell if it was just other companies (particularly Monster aka Hansen Natural Corp) fabricating things (which was losing massive market share to Bang at the time)... so I always wondered. Anyway, I kicked caffeine during the Coof lock downs (unintentionally) and one day I drank half a bang a few months later and thought I was going to have panic attack.

I drank bang on a few occasions when I had to do some long drives later at night. The stuff didn’t just keep me awake it wired me and had me almost out of body. And I have a decent caffeine addiction so I am afraid of the kind of people who can regularly drink the stuff.

his whole arguement from him sounds like how a person try’s to explain their pyramid scheme isn’t a pyramid scheme

Not a caffeine person so the one time I drank a full can of bang I thought I was going into cardiac arrest lmao

Charlie saying he doesnt have a word to describe something is horrifying. This man can consistantly pull out the most insane combos out of the english lexicon during a game of Rocket Leauge, but struggled to say "outrageous."

He should contact those people who found a rat in their monster

Bang gave me the first panic attack I've had since overdosing on adderall.

I work in a store that used to actively push "Bang!", they have been completely removed from our shelves. It literally happened over night and I imagine it's being pulled off other companies shelves too.

That drum fill he did was one of the "Easiest" fills for beginners to learn to look cool 😎 😂

jacks got the bang chain on the drippiest of bain

Literally exactly like college humor CEO apology sketches

The fact he is sharing this information instead of someone else at his company who isn't dressed like a clown is all you need to know about Bang.

Hey Charlie, over the past couple months I’ve been dealing with some Undiagnosed health Issues. It’s been a lot on my mental health, and I just want to say that you never fail to put a smile on my face. Thank you for making amazing content.

Jack really said " ...and I did it myyyyy wayyyy"

as someone who worked a convenience store job at 14-17, and was exhausted constantly, i DID drink bang energy because it had a funny (made up) word on it

I love how he drums out how your heart will sound and suddenly stop while drinking Bang energy drink.

at least they went out with a bang

We gotta make a drinking game out of every time this guys says "that sounds pretty great to me, what about you?"

This just the bang we needed as a pre Black Friday celebration

I used to work with someone who had 3 separate heart attacks* from monster *He drank up to 8 a day at the time and was drinking monster for 10~ years. Also he now has kidney stones about once a year BC he still can't stop drinking them. He's down to 1 a day.

I like how the video by Danny Gonzalez was the second result when you searched the Say Yes to the Dress clip.

That shift in his expression when when she said "Lets look for the dress I want: the mermaid style" was terrifying

I keep forgetting Charlie is almost an expert on this type of stuff

0:04 By far the most emotion we got out of Charlie
