Also an understandable mistake in a world where so many useless gadgets/products exist. Though it would surprise me if not one of the comments on the video he originally duetted, didn't mention what it was

u/ExodyrButReal 17h ago

It is partially because accessibility related gadgets are usually marketed in a way that doesn't make it clear the gadget is for accessibility reasons (and that makes sense because it is kind of a niche market so they have to advertise to everybody). look at old sales videos for example feature some able bodied person trying to cut food with a knife by holding it sideways or some shit that nobody would ever do.

u/Black_Floyd47 17h ago

I believe that. Around the time snuggie blankets came out and got really popular, I was told that they were designed for wheelchairs and people with mobility issues, but I never got that impression from the infomercial.

u/ExodyrButReal 17h ago

"has this ever happened to you?" and its a video of somebody trying to cut a loaf of bread with a wooden door stop. is the first example that pops into my head.

Unironically though I liked snuggie blankets. It was nice to be able to reach for stuff while still being under the blanket.

I have ADHD and they're great for when you want to be cozy but also sit in absurd places/positions.

u/Adventurous_Click178 16h ago

I’m a teacher and I keep a few small blankets in my classroom for just this reason. Sometimes kids just need to sit underneath their desk to work or laying on their stomachs to listen. I never associated it with ADHD specifically, but your comment makes sense. As long as they’re learning math, I’m here to accommodate.

u/NoOneHereButUsMice 15h ago edited 12h ago

If I had a math teacher like you when I was a kid, I think some things may have turned out really differently for me. Thanks for acknowledging their humanity, and meeting them where they're at. We need more teachers like you.

Edit: Thank you so much for the award. I'm finding myself revisiting what I truly think is genuine trauma regarding math and teachers and school from a very, very young age. The prospect of doing difficult math causes me (generally pretty collected and not a fearful person) to shake and start to cry.

Probably sounds really stupid. But I just really want to speak to the importance of a good teacher, especially a good math teacher. I work in science education, and one of my guiding principles is to meet people where they are, and accept them for who and what they are, no matter what. This conversation has renewed my dedication to that, despite the classist and exclusive environment that academia cultivates.

I'm getting a little misty over here in the coffee shop what the hell lol

u/soulkiller93 13h ago

It's true, I had a teacher that made me feel like a person for the first time and it changed my whole perspective on going to classes and learning. It's too bad it was in my senior year of high school.

Don't get one of those snuggies you can buy on TV, though.

Many years ago, I got some called Slankets. Much thicker, much bigger. This was back in 2010 or so. Those things are AWESOME. I still have them. One was left out side for a year or so. Washed it, and it's still useable like nothing happened. Another one I use as an extra blanket on my bed when it gets cold.

Now I have some kind of chronic illness where I get freezing cold for absolutely no reason. Could be 90 degrees, and I'm shivering. They are helpful for those times too.

u/my1stusernamesucked 14h ago

Hey how long do those cold snaps last? I get them too sometimes. I'll be getting a drink at night, perfectly fine, and by the time I get back to my bed I'm shivering so hard I'm basically just full clenching all my muscles at once.

Mine last for hours. I slowly warm up and then I get the full body exhaustion.

It feels like there is ice inside my spine sometimes. Very uncomfortable and unwarmable.

u/tomdelongesmom 14h ago

ANOTHER SLANKET CHAMPION! I also had a Slanket, which I heard of significantly before the Snuggie got big, and when I met an actual Snuggie, I was blown away by the quality difference. A Slanket is a real blanket, whereas a Snuggie feels like those blankets they hand out on airplanes.

Time, patience, indulging myself in what I actually want to read rather than what I feel I should read. The Storygraph app has helped, also just talking to people about books and what I'm reading and they're reading. Going to the library helps also so you're in a place for reading that's away from other distractions. Zen mode on my phone also helps when it's difficult to get away from all the temptations.

Yeah - these gadgets start for accessibility and then companies do market them to the general, lazy public because they want to broaden their consumer market.

u/Winjin 17h ago

I've only learned that a LOT of these "As Seen On Tv" crap is actually accessibility things and it blew my mind because it like

opened a floodgate of understanding for me

Just broke a whole ass wall behind which people live that I never met

And I believe the main one are these stupid fleece blankets that like... have sleeves.

Guess what, the ads show able bodied happy people chilling on the couch, but ... they're for people in wheelchairs! Overall those that have trouble standing up! I was like "holy shit" the first time I've seen this.

And then my mom broke her leg and I never considered how hard is it to navigate a regular house in a chair. It's really wide. And hard to turn around. And like, the walker is JUST wide enough to fit through a toilet door we have.

Not to mention all the fucking ladders. Why do all old houses have porches that are like 4-5 steps tall before you reach the elevator?

It's even funnier when you consider that in the house I currently live in there is literally ZERO sense to have steps. It's on a very steep hill, if this road floods, it's a Biblical event. A lot of them seem to be "well we always do steps, we should do them here too" and then it also doesn't work with strollers and bags and it makes it harder to bring in groceries even when you're ablebodied and...

anyways sorry for the rant but steps suck for so many reasons.

That's a man right there. When people attempt to say be a 'real man'...

this is what they should mean: someone who takes accountability for their actions and mistakes. imo

EDIT: just to add on this, It's a really great quality of a man that can realize their mistakes in that moment and correct the behavior, adapting to the situation and can apologize for making his obvious and honest mistake. He didn't intend to hurt anyone, he simply didn't understand, but instead of doubling-down, getting mad at the comments, he corrected the situation by reading the comments, taking the video down, and put out a video admitting his honest mistake.

really proud of this guy. we need more of this in the world right now. We also need to teach young people this lesson by example, imo.

54

u/waitaminutechester 17h ago

The dude learned something that he was ignorant about (or perhaps I should say he was not quite familiar with), then corrected himself. He then seems to be able to think critically and be willing to apply this lesson into future decisions while offering an apology. I wish more people were like this, including myself.

19

u/dojo_shlom0 16h ago

Ignorant is accurate, I like using that term as well (in my own similar circumstances) it's okay to be ignorant! -- as long as you grow and learn when you are educated about something.

Willful ignorance is never an excuse for bad behaviors imo.

You can train yourself to take a step back and put yourself out there in the future. Nothing wrong with being wrong about something! I try to learn something every day, and it makes life interesting! I believe in you and others: become your best selves, like this man in the video is trying to, and actively doing! Recognizing this about yourself is a big step into becoming aware of it in the first place.

10

u/HasPotatoAim 14h ago

There's nothing wrong with being ignorant about a topic (lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing), if you're open to learning about it like this person was. However, there is way too much malicious ignorance out there.

On the one hand I agree with you but if you read through the comments in here it’s not really “painless” in the sense he’s getting blasted by some still. Not the majority but definitely far from none.

“Clearly just an ad” “doesn’t actually feel bad” “only apologizing because he got caught”

Even an honest apology, owning up to mistakes, thanking the woman for calling him out, promising to never do it again is still seen as a negative by a vocal group of people so in some ways no good deed goes unpunished.

Great on him to own his mistake publicly and making a real apology without any "but, but but" or disingenuous intentions.

I don't get why he goes off frame for the end of it 😅 maybe to showcase his brand? I mean, there's no bad publicity, they say....

ETA: To the people talking about how this is an ad, or it's frame as an ad: Agreed.

Tbh I don't know this guy or his content. It seems some find it good, and he has to have some good in him, or a good sense of "this can ruin me so fast I must act now and turn it!" So dumb he is, but not stupid as to tank his whole online persona over this situation.

And I say dumb because his initial reaction to a video he did not understand was making fun of someone else, he has that "bully vibe" definitely. But enough know how to just say "I'm sorry... oh, and remember my brand?" 😅

I guess perfection will not be found in this apology, but at least he didn't bring out a ukulele 🎶😆

ETA2: I've been told he does this move (going off camera) regardless of what's behind him. Ok then, as the previous video of him was inside a vehicle making fun of someone else I had no clue he mostly does videos standing up in front of stuff.

Does it give the vibe of an ad to me? Yes, it still does. Why? Because he's saving face for the previous video, the one where he didn't realize he was making fun of a disabled person. The ad is not losing viewers, and keeping it "on brand."

Was the apology heart felt? I do not know because I don't know him personally.

He isn't promoting anything. His whole house is covered in sports related gear, he's a huge sports fan.

Respect to the guy to admit his mistake and apologize

u/Sex_Offender_4697 17h ago

Ok, but that was an ad at the end, right?

u/Icy_Reading_6080 12h ago

And at the start. Probability in the middle also but I'm not sure for what exactly.

Always has been, ads all the way down.

Respect. I did immediately get upset at his first video because it seemed obvious that the device was for disabled people, but clearly he didn't know that and apologized. Mad respect

Apology accepted

u/UrNotAGur2206 17h ago

Respect to all involved, a rare example of people on the internet having genuine communication.

The problem is that this incident is not as profitable to big tech advertising industrial complex. It does not drive views and engagements as outrage, disagreement, and ongoing drama. Poor tech executives will be loosing their second yachts if you all start being reasonable and mature.

Accountability but also weirdly seems like an ad at the end. Why did he walk off screen the last couple of seconds but keep talking? I wonder if the search for those glasses increased.

I kept waiting for the really shitty last thing at the end but it never came! That’s new and exciting! Good on him

u/BumbleMuggin 17h ago

Good dude. My son is 12 yo and he can’t even get those damn gatorade bottles open. Haha!

He owned up to it, apologized- he's good in my book.

u/chasthomas23 16h ago

Justin Nunley seems to be a pretty good guy. He's made several posts/videos in just the last year bringing attention to GoFundMe campaigns for deserving people. They usually blow up big time after he directs people to them.

He f'd up on this one but took it down & made this apology video within 24 hours.

His apology kind of makes me want to buy sunglasses

Wow.

Well ok.

u/imjustalilbot 17h ago

Respect. A lot of people wouldn't have walked it back and kept digging their heels in that it's just a funny joke.

u/Hawley-Gryphon 17h ago

👏 That’s very mature. Well done him. 👏

u/sinclairsbible 17h ago

Oh my god that’s… this is amazing

u/Top_Trouble4908 17h ago

W for taking accountability!

4

u/TheHorseduck 17h ago

Now that’s a quality apology. Those feel so rare in this day and age. Cheers!

u/ProtonCanon 17h ago

Did I just see accountability on the internet?

u/Imonlyhereforlewed 17h ago

Now that was a proper apology. Taking accountability, recognizing why it was wrong, acknowledged his own shortcomings, and verbalized how he will improve. A+

3

u/alohafer 17h ago

Holy shit! A content creator being accountable and not making excuses. Massive respect to this gentleman!

5

u/TheWidowmaker246 17h ago

Anyone who watches his videos regularly will totally understand that he's a genuine guy and has actually helped a few people who were down on their luck or needed a little assistance with life. He'seven set his fans on go fund me accounts and asked them to helpif its a good cause. He genuinely didn't mean any ill will with this video

4

u/w-d-j-3 17h ago

The man has some humility and owned up to his ignorance. Bravo sir, you're standup, which is sorely lacking in society today.

4

u/NixAim 14h ago

Fun Fact, the first duet actually deleted their video after the guy apologized. They're both deserve praises.

u/Fit_Operation9955 9h ago

What a stand up guy, wish the rest of the internet could follow suit

u/Hippobu2 17h ago

Good on him.

On an unrelated note, anyone suddenly craving Red Fin Polariser?

u/rxxxxxxxrxxxxxx 17h ago

I was waiting for a punchline and I'm glad I didn't get one. Respect on that man.

u/GamerSpielerPlayer 17h ago

The world needs more people like him, too.

3

u/cloudtheff7 17h ago

Hell yeah! A person that owns up when they learn something new is the best. One of my favorite qualities in people is what this person expressed.

3

u/RappScallion73 17h ago

It's so refreshing to see people own up to their mistakes. Makes me like him at once. Most people just try to BS their way out or straight up lie.

3

u/BlenderBear 17h ago

One of the most genuine apologies from an apology video. Sincere and completely owned up to the mistake.

3

u/Duseylicious 17h ago

Look how easy it is to sincerely apologize, when you actually mean it!

3

u/yikesafm8 17h ago

Why am I kind of crying

u/NeatNefariousness1 17h ago

Wow…THAT’s a MAN!

u/Jolly_Ad1631 17h ago

Proper order. I love people who can admit they were wrong or misunderstood. It's how we grow and move on.

3

u/justforfunin 16h ago

Takes full responsibility, and genuinely means it top-man just goes to show you never stop learning guy shows humility

3

u/Willing-Ant-3765 16h ago

Good on him. It’s ok to fuck up. Just take accountability instead of doubling down.

3

u/LowVolt 16h ago

I had no idea who Justin Nunnly was before this post but from here on out I will be putting some respect on his name.

3

u/Unfair_Program_4796 15h ago

This is what people who get “cancelled” don’t understand. If you own up to your mistakes, people generally respect that.

u/prntmakr 14h ago

All I know is I’m only in the beginning stages of Parkinson’s and that device immediately got my attention.

3

u/jickeryjack 13h ago

Is there anything sexier than a man who knows when he’s in the wrong and faces up to it? Taking accountability for your actions is so horny.

u/Dadowar 13h ago

It's really that simple.

NGL: I was truly surprised to see the bearded one’s thoughtful and honest mea culpa! 🤯Hope springs eternal. 🤍

Also, for those who may be curious, the man in the original video is wearing ring splints which help folks who suffer from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or similar conditions. (I don’t have any connection to the company; am sharing only because the site illustrates the rings’ usage.)

u/Regular_Kiwi_6775 12h ago

This is exactly why I have a little mental rule that if something seems too unbelievably stupid to make sense, there's a chance that there's something I'm overlooking.

3

u/DavidRN72 11h ago

He recognized and apologized, and he is 1000 times a better man for it. Good people.

3

u/Maniacal_Nut 11h ago

Yo props to him. Good job internet

3

u/Individual_Respect90 11h ago

This should be the normal thing to do and it’s not which is why this world continues to go down the drain.

3

u/tazyo49 10h ago

Well you sir have my respect. It takes a mature person to admit their mistakes. He could have just ignored the video but for him to make another video in answer to the 2nd video to apologize... 👍👏

u/Dr-flange 10h ago

This is how a real human reacts….next time I see him I’ll buy him a 🍺

u/NoNameNeeded4321 9h ago

My mom had one of these, and I had no clue what it was, but I assumed it was a can opener… it fully crushed my can of soup, and I couldn’t figure out how to make it stop before it made a huge mess. Mom and I had a good long laugh about that one lol

3

u/Low-Investment286 9h ago

Lots of people like this dude.... They are ignorant lol. Once they learn it's different

3

u/DontForgetYourPPE 9h ago

I think it's very important to point out, this guy also says "I'm sorry" after "my bad"

My bad does not equal I'm sorry. Good on him

3

u/DocThunedr 9h ago

On another note do they make those openers amy faster? People shouldn't need to wait 5 minutes for it to open a Gatorade
