Weird & wonderful

Tic Tac-sized iPhone model with a full unboxing experience that amazed him.

The tiny flashlight barely lit up, leaving him very disappointed.

Adorable little vacuum that surprisingly works, though he felt like a short crust pastry.

Looks ridiculous but he kind of liked it; cooling and comforting like a hug.

Marketed with ridiculous brightness claims, but the result was only 'not bad'.

Feels cheap and barely cools; after four hours his tea was only two degrees below room temperature.

A $1 'iPhone' from Wish that feels convincing and baffles him as a business model.

A tiny DIY TV kit that he built, with a strange result and a speaker that wasn't what he ordered.

A non-functional but high-quality tiny PS5 replica that he is strangely excited about.

Essentially a plastic block with a screen taped on, but he is impressed by the tiny size.

Bicycle-powered washing machine with big positive knock-on effects for developing countries, scored 7 out of 10.

Biodegradable edible spoons made from grains with a long shelf life, rated 7 out of 10 alongside edible packaging.

Fake sky panel with its own moving sun, his top pick at 9.5 out of 10, though far too expensive for him.

Seaweed-based edible water pods that could replace clear plastic packaging, scored 8 out of 10.

Autonomous tennis ball collector that is a fun concept, scored 6 out of 10 for now.

A rebadged ZTE Axon 7 with leather, sold at luxury prices; he finds it disingenuous.

A meaty showpiece of brass, gold plating and acrylic that feels expensive, but he probably wouldn't use it.

Not his taste, but the precision of placing a thousand Swarovski crystals and gold plating blows his mind.

A kilogram-of-gold S21 Ultra with no working cameras and a huge price, which he finds laughable and pointless.

Ridiculous-sounding shoes that let you feel music through your feet and won him over completely.

The follow-up to the No Phone, which he jokes about with a sketch about returns.

A piece of plastic sold as an anti-smartphone; he finds it silly but admits the marketing worked.

Gave it 2 out of 10 after it failed to answer on stage three times in front of the audience.

A $70 copy of a $50,000 phone with fake buttons and an awful camera, only good for showing off.
