This is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! Your video has managed to match the product absurdity for absurdity, John. “Something so absurd being taken so seriously” is the perfect quote. That’s EXACTLY what I love about Sea-Monkeys … taking something so ridiculous so seriously. Harold took that approach to his inventions and that’s how I approach my collection. Truly ABSURD!

Totally agree that the product is a much better gimmick than it is a viable toy. It’s a one-hit-wonder if that. But it does make for an OUTSTANDING picocosmos video. Really exceptionally done. I think this just might be your crowning achievement, John. So raise that Sea-Monkey trophy high and take a swig from the victory Champaign. You sir, are the CLEAR WINNER!

As you always say, “THANKS, MATE!” — Tod

that race commentary was top tier ridiculousness 💀💀💀would have 100% bet real money on this as a kid lol

[benjaminstewart]

The sports commentary was spot on, and that finale...nail biter.
Thanks as always.

[KillerCaitie]

The racing is cute, and a much safer gimmick than the watch or that electric maze one.

"Where he'll live the rest of his life in shame." Brutal!

[garrettharrell]

Thanks for feeding my new facination and obsession of seamonkeys! Wife and I have 2 very happy colonys thanks to your videos

[BlackArroToons]

That looks great, and in fresh-out-of-the-box condition for the Moose race track product. Nice review, thanks! The glow in the dark and other tanks are cool too. Ha, the speedrace event was funny, great stuff!

[beartrapinuwuland]

Clearly the pregnant female won because the babies were giving her their strength

[dizzydragon]

Yeah having brine shrimp racing is pretty ridiculous but nothing compared to the patent that transcience wanted to file for a whole baseball Game that brine shrimp would play 🤣😆🤣😆


Oh yeah Also, great editing!! Love it, the trophy reveal is really funny

[LadyTroubadour]

OMG I just saw this one for the first time today and your commentary made me laugh so much. XD Lil champions! This is exactly the kind of thing I could see my child self playing with, singling out the best racers and breeding them to create specialized purebred RACING SHRIMP (that absolutely wouldn't perform any better in any way because I can't see selective breeding being particularly effective in brine shrimp for much given their unique life cycle). Thank you for persevering so we could have this very silly video, what fun.

Hi John! This is great, it's fun to see all these different sea monkey accessories i never knew existed! My personal opinion about whether or not these things are 'okay' to use with living creatures, is that all pets are 'parental supervision required' and care should be taken to ensure that living creatures are comfortable and not treated as disposable. Thanks for the fun video!

[MichasCreatureCorner]

I really love the illustrated instructions on the back of the box and having the extra details inside was cool it gives the packaging more purpose

[japostolakis]

😂 was hoping you'd do the commentary again. Love it. While my kids are still young I'd buy one but agree the novelty will run out quickly

[kissedbysun]

I had a sea monkey race track from the 70's. It had interchangeable twists and turns. It was a blast

Sea Medic use to be orange in colour & it's not anymore. If u added enough Sea Medic the Sea Diamonds would float to the surface, indicating the water is sufficiently oxygenated. (Sea Diamonds are a bad idea though I discovered later, during tornado/ hurricane season. Which consists of blasting the shit out of the tank with my aqua bubbler. All the flying debris etc). My colony lasted 2 years though, , just like the 1979 advertisement said they could with proper care. It got ugly in the harder days & became a bit 'Lord of the Flies' with only 1 female though.
They are an amazing species of an animal .

[THEprincessFirefly]

Awwsss the last female had her babies after winning!

[Aspenluver]

as a vintage model horse collector...i always feel like they've waited that long for someone to come along and appreciate em. try not to feel guilty!!

[bethlovesthings]

SUCH a cute video. Reminds me of the boardgame mousetrap, where the set up is harder than the game haha. Could be a fun drinking game

[NijakiKinja]

Absolutely in love with this video. The props! The drama! I always have fun with your videos but this one is definitely my favorite.

Had sea monkeys decades ago. Now interested in setting up a tank again.
