$675,000 for the license plate "6" in Delaware? Delaware is so small that it'd honestly be cheaper to run for Secretary of State and get "3".

2:41 Trying to reach the minimum word count for your essay.

As a member of the 12th Man, that guy is most definitely driving around Kyle Field in his lifted pickup truck.

I’m from Delaware, my grandmother has a 4 digit plate and she regularly has people offering to buy it off her for 5 figures around here. People really go crazy for low numbers here

can we get another episode on bricks please?

@1:18 "To fix this INITIAL issue". Underrated pun right there :P.

License plate: $14.3 M Camera: $10

Nothing better than owning a Crown Vic and having the license plate "NOTACOP"

i bet the military owns the number plate *AREA51*

When your license plate is 42068 We were on the verge of greatness, we were *this* close

What most people might not know is that the UAE plates were sold as part of an auction that gives the proceedings to charity.

Gig ‘em lol. I saw that guy driving around town one time, in an older Audi. Apparently the gentleman who actually purchased the “12THMAN” plate at auction did so in order to give it to Purple Heart recipient and Iraqi War veteran Dan Moran. Pretty neat stuff if you ask me.

2:41 - 2:56 When you need to extend your video to hit the 5-minute mark

to be fair, your license plate might be an investment that pays off if you sell it later.

Still waiting for “The $14.3 Million World’s Most Expensive Custom Brick”.

I really like the Irish reg plate system. “Year” - “County” - “Number” The year is the year of registration and since 2013 it also includes a 1 for January-June and a 2 for July-December. The county is the English abbreviation for the county it was registered in. The numbers are assigned in order. The first person to register a car in that county that year gets “1”, the second person gets “2” and so on. A random reg plate would look something like: “181-D-49267” for the 49267th car registered in the first six months of 2018 in county Dublin.

Brb buying the 69 license plate in Delaware

On today's Episode of How to Waste $14.3 million

"Flushing money down the toilet just for a fleeting moment of amusement"-a very fancy way of saying "flexing"

Numeric plates are very expensive here in Australia too, particularly in NSW and VIC. Here in NSW, people try to fake a numeric plate by using the letter O or number 0 as the first character. The NSW plate '1' is said to be worth over AU$5m. NSW plate '4' sold in 2017 for AU$2.45m

"If I believed in cars" I agree, that movie was obviously Photoshop, sickening such lies are allowed to be shown to children

I’m from Rhode Island and low number plates are seen as a status symbol. Anything with 4 digits or less is something to envy and are often family heirlooms. Both my parents have 4 digit plates that they’re very proud of. Seeing a single digit plate is like spotting a unicorn lol

Why does Wendover State sound like some obscure state college?

I am a native Delawarean, and yes, there are times when the license plate on the car is literally worth more than the car.

The Japanese at 2:23 is wrong. It's clearly supposed to say "First State," but the kanji used for "state" are 状態 (joutai) , which means "state" as in "condition" or "status," not as in unit of government. That would be 州 (shuu), the same kanji that you have in デラウェア州, meaning, of course, "Delaware State."

Me: searches up how much a 69 license plate is worth License plate: worth 690,000 Me: surprise pikachu face

1:19 “to fix this *initial* issue...” Me: .... Me: “was that a pun?”

HAI: *you know what’s funnier than 24? 25!!!*

In Ireland, it is not random. It goes like this: (Year (2numbers), Part of year (1= Jan-June 2=July-Dec) - (Country abbreviation - Number of car. bought in that section of the year in that county. Eg. 132-D-6969 (2013-Second half, Dublin, Number 6969) Their is no custom plates

2:23 最初の状態 デラウェア州 状態 (jyoutai) means state, the condition, ie state of matter. The correct one will be 州 (shu), as used in デラウェア州, meaning the state in, United States of America. This is the first time I found a mistake on my own on a HAI video!

"Since I like saying things that have never been said, let's talk about Delaware." Best part of the vid.

Me: watches HAI video about a $14.3 million dollar license plate. Also me: wipes tears with a single sheet of half-ply toilet paper.

We just got personalized license plates here in Quebec soo we don’t have this problem yet!

america : *you dare oppose me mortal*

Well, I expected a "Delaware is so small, it only has licence plates up to number 22" joke.. but no^^ no delaware puns today

"there is no limit on how low someone's licence plate number can be" -1

Whenever someone tries to flex on you, just pull that 14 million dollar license plate out of your pocket. They won’t be flexing so hard now.

"This must be the diversity problem they're talking about with US presidents" lmao

3:40 the 12th man thing actually has a story behind it

2:26 as someone studying Japanese, I can tell you that the the Google Translate you used was incredibly wrong lol. You wrote "the beginning state (state as in a state of being, happy, sad, etc. not a state of a country lol)".

Rule 34 of the Market: If it exists, it can be sold. NO EXCEPTIONS.

The commentary through these videos, is fantastic. I have to keep rewinding parts because, I can't stop laughing. Thank you!

so happy I found you! I don't recall of any other youtuber that takes the effort of making deep and interesting script and visuals, even adding easter eggs and intelligent (and really, really, really comic) puns (really!)

Nobody Skillshare: Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!

But why the Japanese for Delaware and UAE? Although I only know Chinese and not Japanese, I can at least know that the Japanese titlecard for Delaware isn't correct: 最初の状態 does mean "original state", but specifically "the original particular condition something was in at a specific time", not as in "the first state in chronological terms that constituted the United States". I think the correct Japanese should be something like 第一の州 (correct me if I'm wrong, again I'm basing this off Chinese and not Japanese) For anyone wondering, Chinese-language speakers can at least read (mentally understand) Japanese kanji, even if they don't know how they're pronounced. Although not all Japanese kanji have the same meaning in Chinese, a very substantial portion does, which is why tourists from China and Taiwan sometimes can have Japanese locals understand them if they write out the Chinese characters

Lmao I live in the UAE and I saw the number 5 license plate

Anyone else notice license plates work similarly to any game's username system?

my notification said "the $14.3 million most expensive lice..." and i honestly thought this video was about really classy nits. the worst part is i didn't question it smh

Is probably "1". Edit: And I am correct.

You ever flex your AirPods on $14.3 million dollar license plate users, just to flex?

Nobody is going to mention Bo Burnham then? Guess I need to lower my expectations...

I was expecting 42069 to be the most expensive

“To fix this initial Issue” God what a line

Funny you use Delaware as an example. A few days ago I saw the Delaware plate 'IS'... meaning the plate read "The first state IS Delaware". I thought it was pretty cool. God I'm such a nerd.

In NSW (Australia) we also have low numbered licence plates (like Delaware). The lowest numbers start with 0 though (as in 01, 02, 03, etc). When I was a teenager, there was a really old lady (like in her 90s) who lived near me who used to drive a Holden Gemini coupe with the number plate 272. That always used to fascinate teenager me!

2:51 NO WAY! How do you know numbers?! That’s crazy

If your government-assigned license plate is too difficult to remember, Dashlane can help...

One of the most funniest KZfaq channels, keep it up Sam!😂

I have to say I really love your sense of humor.

I feel like you manage to fit more puns in Hai videos than wendover productions videos

when did Wendover become a weeb

I live in Delaware and actually work at one of the DMV buildings. Once per year they give out 5 digit tags to people (default/typical is 6 - for reference, I have a 6 digit tag) for a day. One of the DMVs ran out of plates by 9am. DMV opens at 8am.

1:19 "To fix this initial issue" 🤣🤣🤣

Just so people know they are not "wasting" their money, they are just transferring their wealth to a non taxable, non traceable item. Just like how other millionaires buy art, this is just the same.

I want my license plate to read: BATMAN3

What about those special Japanese license plates where they can break every law ever

The best license plate is just your initials: I'm sure the cops appreciate it

HAI: The letters must be 3 inches wide. Me: *Remembers door must be 3 inches wide in ST3 and cries myself to sleep 😢😢😢*

As a license plate collector, this is a little insane

In ireland it's the year of the car then the place it was registered and the production number e.g if you car was a 2009 ford focus registered in Dublin (capital of ireland ) and the 500th 2009 focus mad it would be 09-D-500

The 12th man for Texas A&M comes from E. King Gill when he hitchhiked to Dallas and went to an A&M football game going on, he walked in with the football team and sense everyone knew who he was (he was a former player) they let him in. He was put up as a spotter, and as injury after injury came, he put on a jersey with the number 12.

4:08 “It’s the rich people Disneyland, the United Arab Emirates” No, rich people Disneyland is just Disneyland, so damn expensive

Is it possible that I can have "z37b20a13t01t08le" on my license plate?

I love when I look at my phone and see "New From Half as Interesting" or "New From Wendover Productions"

Last december in NSW, Australia, I saw a plate saying just "8D" (without quotes), and behind the wheel there was an image of a meme-known "Doge". I suppose that one was expensive as well for its current owner.

Wasn't expecting to see my university mentioned on an HAI video about license plates!

Yay the Aggies got a mention! Gig Em ‘22

I really needed that refresher on numbers lol🤙🏻

This reminds me of a saying I once heard. Can't quite recall it. Goes something like "a fool and his money something something."

*What my license plate says about me:* 1. I don't even have a car

What 1?? I weep for humanity. How is 69 not the most expensive license plate number?

I once went past a house in Chelsea (London) and outside it were parked an Aston Martin and a Range Rover with the number plates "2 BE" and "NOT 2 BE" respectively. Genius

person: why do you want plates with 69420 and 80085 memer: my goals are beyond your understanding

I'm disappointed one of the most expensive in Delaware was not 69 or 420

3:20 nice pun

I like how at 2:22 , when they tried to translate "First State, Delaware" to Japanese, instead of 州 (state as in an U.S. state), they used 状態 (state as in the current state).

Am I the only one especially loving the background music, healthily coupled by joyous information?

Wow that fake Canadian joke hit close to home. Especially because everyone sounds like they’re from Canada..

Last time I was this early the show was called *’That Wikipedia List’*

That is not quite true - In UK number plate F1 has been sold for £16 Million, A1 gone for £6 million. Unless something changes with exchange course between USD and GBP £16 Million is more than $15 Million.

When I was in Dubai I usually went sightseeing at the cars to see who had the lowest number, I’m pretty sure the lowest one I got was 4 the car was a dark blue one but idk the model because I’m not a car person Anyways it was cool to see one of the nine rare cars

2:31 whats with the Japanese

I live in Dubai and i thought this craze for number plates (paying millions) normal. I just had a friend purchase a number for 2 million dirhams 😂😂 And don't worry, any number plate that is auctioned here is for a charitable cause so all the proceeds for that $14 million number plate and $9 million number plate went to charity ❤

Delaware folks also do boat register numbers the same as they do with car tags. Maybe you have a couple boats you can get all consecutive numbers and like with car tags everyone wants the lowest like "DE 0001 AA"

LOL Scarsdale(4:26) ... I'm in that area all the time!

wait i saw this on reddit. its an actuall thing? wow nice

America: we've stupidly expensive number plates 🇺🇸 UAE: hold my camel 🐪

Now i just imagine criminals stealing the lisence plate instead of the car

1:00 you would think this would be a predictable problem in a country where the name "John Doe" is a common enough name to blanket label every unidentified man with it
