my grandpa gave me a big metal box full of meccano pieces from the 50s when i was a kid, thousands of hours of fun while dodging tetanus

"Accidental Hurts" is the best Engrish EVER

6:35 Ashens did not take care to make sure that finger, hair or cloth did not get trapped in the paoduct.

false advertising, it didn't assemble itself

I will never get tired of listening to Ashens reading out Engrish. Hilarious stuff.

All kneel before the ultra-rare 'nought-to-eight' Sad Onion!

I wish my dollar store had these, I love model kits even if I'm an adult 😎

MY BOBY IS READY

Good old autofocus its almost a meme in itself.

Always enjoy these videos, one of my favourite channels to check out!

In GLORIOUS AMERICA they're called "Erector".

Oh God.I laughed so much at the text on the box I spewed snot and spit and tears and was rendered temporarily blind while also in literal blinding pain.

Whats funny is *steel tech* was a real line of toys in the early 90s. I had gotten one as a kid and it was cool, came in a tool suit case looking thing with a battery powered screw driver, and a lift to put your builds on (ahhh the memory's)

"I hope we see the lesser known 0-8 sad onion" This lucky man still has some dreams!

My favorite 80s song is Safaty Dance

I remember having Meccano as a kid, except in America we called it Erector. Insert penis joke here.

"Experience the joy of participate in youself"? You mean masturbation?

Here in America, those were called "erector sets". And with a name like that, they sold as well as you'd expect. "Hey Billy, you wanna go to the movies Friday?" "Nah, I'm gonna play with my erector set" *Cue massive laughter and pointing of fingers*

I've got a Land Rover from this series, took me whole afternoon to put it together and I still have few bits left. Brilliant! :)

Thank uou for choosing our uild it youself paoduct.

He's the perfect person for reviews on things like these!

Last time I experienced the delight of participating in myself, my mom walked in a d told me I was making baby Jesus cry.

A 0-8 SAD ONION?! BAH! IT WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN ME!

5:24 "This will be about as much fun as something that's no fun at at all"

Too bad the wheels don't work. Too many kids these days have no idea what the fuck to do with a wrench, it's sad. There should be a mandatory class similar to shop, but you just learn how to fix broken shit so we don't just throw stuff, and by association our money; resources; and environment, away.

I'm sure somebody already mentioned this down below, but that looks similar to an Erector set. ...actually, I just looked on Wikipedia and it turns out that is the US brand name for Meccano. I learned something new today.

The...."OuUU've" bit made me me laugh more than i should of XD Also...the "get to work and have fun...OooUUUuww" XD

In the US it's known as an Erector's Set...

This was the most hilarious video I've ever seen ashens do

The pigeon english just makes my day......so funny. Well done sir. Thanks!

6:32 Best car noise ever.

"Never put into the mouth to avoid" cracks me up so bad

Ah, the rare Naught-to-Eight Sad Onion. Such magnificent creatures.

Experience delight of participate in youself - This just made my week.

After watching numerous Ashens videos, I now say "hello" with the Ashens logo at the beginning. Does anyone else?

I had 8 or 9 sets of these things. Each with different shaped parts...didnt build any of the sets, just build things like a remote caddy, a cellphone holder, and stuff for everyday life

I had Mechano when I was younger! ...I just got frustrated with it because it was too difficult to put together, though x3

THANK YOU! I was running out of things to watch, I even came across the Weird section of KZfaq.

The engrish on these packages is always awesome

Dear Mr. Ashens. If it weren't for Meccano, there wouldn't be a British Empire.

when he said "uou ve" i couldn't stop laughing for approximately a full 60 minutes

This was one of your best reviews, too bad it's so short

I've got one of these. The best part is the screwdriver. Nice, small and useful.

Mother:*knock* knock* *knock* "what's going on in there, son?" Son: "I'm participating with meself, go away."

Assembled parts manual, rig it oneself! Construct fantastic models with your assembling kit! bing! :D

I had some Steel Tec sets when I was a kid Hills Department Store used to sell them when it was in business.

Ah, the competitor to the disturbingly named 'Erector' series of building kits. :-)

Ending the video on a blurred image and when you're about to kill your camera....that's really scary! :D BTW, there were a series of construction toys called Steel-Tech, I remember seeing ads for them (one I have on video I believe), they were sold during 1995-1996.

When I was little I got an erector set that made a sailboat. Since it was made of metal and couldn't float, which negates the whole point of a toy boat, I took it apart and made it into a sword. After a week of playing with the sword, one day I was hitting it against a tree pretending I was fighting an evil knight or something and the metal that made the blade got bent. I bent it back and it broke off down the middle making an actual sharp blade. That is when things got interesting.

poor boby

never change man, never change

My name is Johnny. I am 23-year-old. I would have loved this 13 years ago :(

Oh fuck. Watching this in half speed is fucking hilarious!!! I am going to try it with more Ashens videos.

by god this new channel got partnership fast

Aw yeah, something I've always been looking fo- ARGH THE SHARDS HAVE PIERCED MY FLESH, MOTHER.

The Swedish one says: "Not suitable for children 8 years due to Small parts." They didn't bother to make proper åäö's, they forgot one word and the S in "Sma" should be lower case, but I'm still rather impressed! A lot better than expected anyway.

The US brand for these is "Erector Sets" because we like our construction toys with a bit of innuendo.

The thumnail for this video looks like Ashens is reviewing a Tech Deck!

The writing on the back was interesting...each line began with a capital letter suggesting they'd written it in Word and had pressed enter each time.

That Cat Steven's reference xD I guess 99% of viewers didn't get it

I've seen the extremely rare and far-between 0-14 sad onions. I am serious. It was on an inflatable toy.

Participating in oneself is always good fun.

These were great~

2:23 best noise ever lolololol

the warning on the bottom says ComponenRs. Surpised he didn't catch that.

lovin it ashens

I recommend the Panasonic Lumix G or GF or GH seriese as i have a Lumix G2 and it is absolutly wonderful for video, and also you could invest in a mounted microphone as well which is compatable with the said ALR's. sorry for my typo's and multiple posts; touch-typing on an iPad is dire.

Who doesn't like a bit of good old Chinglish once in a while?

The Erector Set is BAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

OH MY GOSH THE CAT STEVENS JOKE BAHAHAHAHA

No, not if little Johnny likes it, but if little Boby likes it!

That back thing is to keep it of the side of the tracks, which is not included.

FINALLY! Something other than MW3 and Skyrim so I don't have to avoid youtube!

I was worried Ashen might swallow tiny parts. Thank china for the sad onion!

Let us just assume for a moment that my brain likes to shut down when I do math.

I'm glad he's reading it out.I can't read, and didn't understand the humor in poor english till he pointed it out.

Im editing a video and will have a link to your channel, manly because i used your intro. and i like your videos :P

I now own the only photo of the extremely rare and seclusive 0-8 sad onion. Seriously, I did some Google searching, and only 0-3 sad onions came up.

Well that is just because the lack of Æ Ø and Å in the normal alphabet. I don't really se that as a spelling error, but if it said "Ikke egnet i børn/born under 8 år/ar pga. smådele/smadele" I would have laughed. Btw. it's nice to see other danes enjoying the work of mr. Ashens :D

"Assembling hit"? I lol'd.

I remember clear as a bell when I was 96 months!

This vid came out the same day as skyrim

come now, you couldn't expect a product like that to work. itd be too good to be true.

NOOO, I didn't head your warnings!!! How am I supposed to sleep at night without knowing who think's who's gay!?!

If you're looking for a panasonic, you should get a lumix GH2. Currently, it's the best DSLR, quality wise. Well, technically it's not a DSLR.

Steel-tec was what we called it in the US.

1:30 thing coming out box ashen"ASHEN NOT WANT" xD

In my country, Mecano was actually called Erector (giggle). Not sure if it was a whole different brand or just a rename.

I pulled out a calculator to check if 96 months equaled 8 years....

We had Erector sets. Well they did, I was poor so I could only get one toy. Always opted for transformers.

the binding of issac made a sad onion reference

"What do you mean we lost the assembly instructions?? ...Ok, Here is what we do. Slap on a "Puzzle" sticker and ship it off to Poundland."

@GiantGenesse Yes, Whatever happened to that caterpillar who sang obscure beatles songs? I remember he sang "Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite!"

don't replace your camera! your camera and its auto-focus have become iconic in your videos...

8821 sounds like a lot number from a mass producer. And If you don't have a Harbor Freight near where you live, you will never understand the joys of an adult tool toyland.

This is why Ashens doesn't comment a lot, he gets over 10,000 replies and opinions.

2:39 - Sad onion: You peeled my skin, now i'm gonna peel yours!

reading this made me laugh +10 happyiness -10 oxygen am I doing the joke right?

while i am a completely straight male, for some reason, i cant get enough of that british accent and wit.

Fun fact! Old Mechano's instructions were purposely made wrong or had steps missing so you would need Ingenuity to complete the build.
