I love that Stuart's expectations are so low that he was absolutely gobsmacked that a *magnifying glass* was able to *magnify* something. Gold star there, Wish.

Nothing brightens my day more than seeing the brown sofa

There's something so oddly comedic about someone waiting 2 months for a sticker that says "Drift Maniac" on it

I could watch Ashens look at weird stickers for days

The lack of repeats in that set of stickers irritates me.

I'd stick that "DRIFT MANIAC" sticker onto my Nintendo Switch.

'twiddle the knob, it does the job, and makes it taller' LMAO

“Basically, we’ve managed to engineer factories to produce litter “ 😂

"Something bright! Something shiny! A scalpel..." is a quote from the Ray Bradbury story "The Small Assassin." Where a baby kills its parents and the family doctor has to execute the child.

I've often wondered about the sticker packs on Wish. At first I thought they might be over-runs, and factory seconds, but I don't think so anymore. Even the stickers that were obviously designed for a specific thing stay on sale for years. My current theory is that every time someone orders some custom stickers, the factory just keeps the file and adds it to the rotation.

Can we talk about how that one sticker cost FIVE POUNDS!

There's a lot of cheap custom sticker websites, and artists will send off for their art to be made into stickers. These sticker factories are often in China, and some rather unscrupulous sticker-makers help themselves to the design, reprint more and sell them for pennies without the artists' permission in random packs like this. Although, I should add that a lot of stickers in this sticker pack feel like sample stickers - ones that are made to show the print quality. That's why none of them seem particularly like art a street artist or fan merch artist would make, though I'd bet at least some of them are artwork stolen in this fashion. The same thing happens with metal badges/pins people get made, they steal the moulds and sell cheap bootlegs.

embarrassingly enough, i actually bought the same magnetic wrist band... it’s actually pretty useful as a seamstress for holding pins

"I'm going to make a reference but it is so niche..." Ashens, mate, when has that ever stopped you?

It’s pretty obvious why somebody enduring a snorer would be spiteful

"Its a Mushroom, a decorative Mushroom!" I believe you, I've got several!

they've had that kind of decorative mushroom for decades, I found one in my mother's sock drawer in 1989.

Hello Mr Ashen, I have a tin of out of date African Crocodile Meat that I would like to send to you so I can watch you eat it on the internet, because I am enthusiastic about men from Norwich eating out of date African Crocodile Meat on the internet. Where do I send it to?

Every one of those stickers looks like a generic design they'd have as like a preset xbox live avatar

Those sticker images seem like the kinds you'd see on POGs back in the day lol.

That sticker pack reminds me of those stickers you'd get from a coin operated dispenser at the grocery store. Theyd also be kind of cool to use in a stickerbomb.

every single one of those 'REPEAT' stickers scream early 2000's USA based capsule machine

The “mushroom” reminds me of the game Façade, there’s some strange house decor of that size and shape that can be interacted with... of course, most people who play the game make jokes about it being particularly dildoesque.

I like how his videos didn’t changed over the years he still makes videos on his sofa

It’s great to have an Ashens video when your feeling down

I guess the stickers had "no repeats". I wonder if most of them are from tattoo catalogues?

"I'm pleased with this but I can't look at it directly" had me in stitches.

Kinda impressed the stickers never repeated.

That "Play?" sticker with the dog on it is an Over The Hedge reference of all things.

Ashen is showing us his elevated mushroom.

"Twiddle the knob, it does the job" - Ashens 2020

That peenshroom rising to glory has made my day 😂

"Drift Maniac" is probably a sticker used by some Japanese guy who delivers tofu.

I've literally seen some of those stickers. I believe that they're designed to be the ones that you put in those Sticker vending machines that you see in store fronts.

The stickers are definitely stolen clip art or artists with no credit. That’s all Wish stickers

love how offended you got that the screen enlarger, despite its general shittiness, actually worked

14:45 Fun fact about Bifröst: Today some people believe the “rainbow” bridge was a mistranslation and it’s actually supposed to be the Milky Way. Implying that the gates of Asgard are in the center of the galaxy.

that mushroom needs to be on the shelf of interesting items

You can tell how little he likes the stickers by how far he throws them.

Word suggestion: Fervently The man fervently rubbed hot mustard on his parts.

Next Ashens movie needs to have the mushroom decoration in it.

5 british currency units for a single sticker? I feel like that is the biggest rip off I have yet seen Ashens buy.

Definitely look like the stickers you would find in a skateboarding shop 👍

i love this guys intro, its nice and simple. it doesn't pretend to be something it's not

Scatter... because getting micro plastic into the sea, was too difficult before!

Me: "I hope he sanitized those items" Ashens: *immediately it shoves up his nose* Me: "Oh no"

Never stop doing this series. Nobody else is doing it and nobody else could! You’ve got a loyal fan base here!

“AND THE BEST THING IN HERO QUEST IS THE MOGHTY GARGOYYYYYLLLLLEEEE” love that video @Ashens

Those stickers really ranged from "Tattoo designs - Stolen fantasy art - stickers that a teenager would plaster on their door/laptop" Really shot me back in time some of those, since so many of those designs are so ubiquitous of what you would see in a teenagers room circa the late 90's/early 00's in the US.

Am I the only who's getting a serious Pog vibe from the stickers? The late 90's/early 00's underground comic book aesthetic and seemingly random nature of the designs and styles is what does it for me. And yes, I assume most if not all of them are at best plagiarizing and at worst outright stealing copyrighted designs. That skull in a gas mask really reminds me of the Cthon logo (which also goes for a retro, late 90's aesthetic, thinking about it).

I bought one of those decorative mushrooms, my girlfriend said she didn't want to use it because it would be too sharp and I told her it's a decorative mushroom, she still doesn't believe me

Those green gems could be used for modeling warpstone shards on Skaven.

Sticks thing made of rubber up nose...”Urgh, it smells of rubber!” Imagine that. 😂😂

That air purifier reminded me of the "be careful what you wish for" episode of barshens. Good ole days

I didn't know I needed "Ashens struggling to breathe through his nose" ASMR until today.

Also Sprach Zarathustra for the raising of the "mushroom."

A working CPAP device of that size would be a revolution.

I loved watching him go through those stickers

That is the Bard, it took me a moment to realize that's what I was seeing. It is indeed the best video out there. And, I could've sworn I saw Mauler in those stickers. Which would be really strange.

Ashens: One things for sure: I had to wait over two months for this to arrive. KZfaq: Decides that's a good time to roll an ad for wish... My sides

The magnifying thing looks like something your nan would get you for your 14th birthday

ISO-0001: The paperclip test

HeroQuest was fun, so was Space Crusade. Also fresnel lenses are reliable and decent, shame they're just too bloody expensive to obtain in any decent quality.

I haven’t watched you in years, yet you haven’t changed a bit. Your content truly holds the test of time and I will always love it!

the hipster grandpa is almost the exact same as the logo for Beergeek, a well known bar in Prague, Czech Republic

I think "spiteful" relates to the person sharing a bed with the snorer 😂

“After this they went and were shot.” My sides.

The stickers are from my cousin's window. He grew up in the late '80s in Brazil and for some reason, his window (including parts of the glass part) and walls are filled to the brim with stickers much like those. I don't think my aunt ever felt like removing them because they give a certain air of nostalgia to the place. My guess is that whatever produced those things that were certainly popular at a specific time period still has tons of them, and Wish is pawning them off.

Me watching Ashens at 1am: *YOUR EYES WILL BE VERY TIRE*

“Why heroquest is great” is a national treasure of a video

Actually, that lift is really nice. You should continue to use it on the show for things that are hard to stand up on the couch. Or show off figurines. Or.... to burn things. Seriously where is the burning go. Love you Ashens!

I decorated my desk at work with several of those metal mushrooms. Everybody thinks they look great!

I get the stickers for the kids when I’m teaching. I just pick through the inappropriate ones and give them to my sister who teachers grade 11-12.

The brown sofa has gotten me through lockdown

The best thing about Hero's Quest is watching it magnified.

4:44 The american accent was so perfect here I'm dying

I think the cheap plastic gem things are three-dimensional compression artefacts.

Those tiny gems would be useful for making D&D scenery.

I used to love watching Ashens when youtube was in its way younger years. Its crazy how nastolgic it makes me feel to hear his voice. Him and Kipkay were my go to youtubers back in the day.

So I'm lying in bed, and I hear the unmistakable sound of Mr. Ashens on the TV in the living room, where my young lady has just gone to 'check something'. She hadn't gone to check the latest vid, but she *had* bought one of those anti-snore things earlier this week from Taobao (aliexpress for China/HK), because she snores. She'd seen it in the thumbnail on my KZfaq and gone to watch the vid, and got *very* confused as to why some random English guy was talking at his hands and a sofa...

Ashens, "I'm going to write something" Me, "It's gonna be bums, it's gonna be bums, yay, bums!"

“I’ve shoved something uncomfortable up my nose and can smell a lot of rubber”. What a party that must have been.

8:05 "*gasp*, what is this?" -Butt Plug-

I havent watched an ashens video in about 4 years and im happy to find out they havent changed whatsoever

These goes Ashens, twiddling his knob on camera again! Gonna get demonetized.

"The best thing about Heroquest is the magnifier...."

Dude I’ve watched you for years upon years and still, no one can have me enjoy a video like you can.

Very few things make me laugh, but your review of the anti snoreing device straight of the bat has had me in absolute stitches !

5:20 This will keep bobby pins and straight pins out of your mouth while you're doing hair/sewing, respectively.

That screen magnifier is almost the same as you showed in a poundland special but it was white there. You showed some asian statue thing.

Ok, an ad came up and I would have sworn it was fake. Ashens needs to review this product.. SOMNIFIX. You literally tape your mouth shut to stop snoring!

Ashens claiming Bardic's Heroquest video as the best video on KZfaq This made my week, absolutely solid

I've seen Ashens at absolutely ungodly hours on Bardic Broadcasts twitch streams. Nice to see an official shoutout ❤

Snore stopper: She's not wearing it in the photos

I loved listening to you quip about each sticker! I’m subbing.

Your commentary on the anti snoring device is so funny haha!

The best thing about HeroQuest is it's 3 times bigger.

OMG! I knew that the thing in the screenshot was an Anti-Snoring thing! Now I can finally relax and regret everything.

Me: ... KZfaq:... Me:... KZfaq: “Say, you remember that guy you used to fuckin’ bingewatch every day over 10 years ago?”

The stickers remind me of the ones you’d get from these weird vending machines you’d see in grocery stores or movie theaters when I was younger
