What’s funny about that scene, is he hides his actual razor and starts shaving with the blade when he has an audience.
Rolando@lemmy.world 3 months ago
And that’s why he’s not toxic. He may be a bit of a trickster, but he lets the movie audience in on the joke.

Met people that say these “woke” companies shouldn’t get political but they will happily buy from companies like this. Isn’t surprising at all.
EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago
Of course. It’s not political if it’s just The Way Things Should Be™
The two Races: White and Political The two Genders: Male and Political The two Sexualities: Straight and Political
Their views are never “political” because theirs is the “natural state” of things. They’re on top because they deserve to be, and they deserve to be on top because they are. It’s anything that deviates from that so-called natural state that’s being political.
Zink@programming.dev 3 months ago
Spot on. And notably if there’s anything “political” about the person, it is the first thing they mention about them in a conversation. Even if it’s not to say anything bad - it’s just how their brain works.

Because they feel affronted and so this is “perfectly acceptable” revenge/payback. They do it with everything… It’s also why they’re ok with dictator Trump. When he says in plain English that he is seeking revenge they feel the same way and want the same thing because revenge implies that they were initially “wronged.”
They always play the victim, it’s so absurd…
People: “Don’t be a raging racist asshole, just treat all people with respect.”

“Uncle Cletus’s 400 grit toilet paper”
Are you tired of those ‘woke’ and cushy liberal toilet paper made from weak and pansy processed cellulose? Try Uncle Cletus’s proprietary silicon carbide formula enhanced with sand sourced from All American beaches! Now you can show your patriotism by bleeding red from the ass during every patriotic toilet visit

Not sure why a for profit corporation would limit its market to a specific, politically oriented, demographic. Especially when that corporations product is body hair removal - a process very much detached from all political and most social discourse.

Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).
This is a fucking Ben Shapiro product lmao
realitista@lemm.ee 3 months ago
They probably have another brand which appeals only to gender fluid save the whales hippies.
EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago
They don’t. If you look into them it’s entirely a company owned by the same guy that owns The Daily Wire. It’s literally only there to grift from their audience and further their culture war.
Etterra@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You joke but they almost certainly do. Why sell something to one group when you can repackage it and sell it to two different groups? And the “women’s” version is usually marked up for no reason.

They probably decided that support among the “anti-woke” MAGA folks will outweigh the backlash of everyone else. Just trying to find a way to position on the market.
Though history shows this kind of stuff normally fails, with target audience quickly forgetting the move and the rest not giving a damn.
CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You need to understand the mindset, the culture, the reason it was even created. It’s not their most profitable line, but it’s not about that, anyway. It wasn’t created to make profit; it’s a real product born of a joke. Daily Wire said men & women are different, a handful of people complained to Harry’s Razor’s, Harry’s ended their business with Daily Wire.
It was initially created solely so men didn’t have to buy from Harry’s. I would argue Gillette as well, but Harry’s for sure, that’s what they launched their product on & they bought IHateHarrys.com & has it redirect to Jeremy’s Razors.
BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 3 months ago
Dr Pepper 10! It’s not for women!
Is a real product, with a real commercial, really saying that line. And it wasn’t even for political reasons, they just wanted men to drink their diet soda.
jonne@infosec.pub 3 months ago
They’ll never get a huge chunk of the market, but the customers they will have will be loyal and can be leveraged to sell other stuff to. Wouldn’t surprise me if these razors are just repackaged stuff from another brand.
ArchRecord@lemm.ee 3 months ago
It’s because they’ve conditioned their audience to believe a few key things:
- “Voting” with your wallet is what matters over all other forms of action.
- Giving money to “woke” companies harms you as an individual.
- Buying products is the best way to signal your value as a person.
Let’s break that down.
They want money to be more important than voting, because they understand that their political demographic does not win the popular vote in most cases, and their policies are inherently not popular with the majority. But when they can get money instead, then use that to influence votes and policy, well, that just might get them the policies they want without substantial votes from the public.
They want people to fear giving money to “woke” corporations because it makes them seem like the only source of real truth, and objectivity. They’re the voices of reason in a world that’s all against you. Then, you’ll be willing to pay for their subscription streaming service, and their subscription streaming service for kids, and their merch, and their chocolate, and their razors, et cetera et cetera.
They want you to associate buying products as the way to define yourself, because when you so strongly identify with their politics, you’ll spend as much money as you can signaling to those around you that you don’t support the “woke” agenda through your wallet, you only support those who truly embody your cause. Giving them money becomes a symbol of your values.
And of course, they wouldn’t get any sales without this as a selling point. If they just start a razor brand, not affiliated with their political ventures, who’s gonna buy? Their razors are effectively the same price as Gilette’s, just without the likely higher standard of quality and availability in physical retail locations.
But when they combine all three of those tactics I mentioned to make their target demographic believe they need these razors to display their values, stop a perceived evil agenda, and make their voice heard… well, then you’ve got a good revenue stream.
EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago
Because they’re not in it for profit. It’s a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their “successful business” to prove that they’re correct. They’d still do it even if it wasn’t profitable just to push their preferred narrative.
Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 3 months ago
Cause it’s probably a shit product and they have no USP other than “woke bad”.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 months ago
I just had a look at their website, it’s pretty clear the whole thing is a pisstake. All part of the show.
EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago
Not a piss take. But yes part of the show. It’s entirely owned and operated by the chuds at the Daily Wire and their entire purpose is right wing culture war. It’s just classic conservative grifting
ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It’s also funny because most of my heavy conservative coworkers all have beards, trucks, and country stuff because that’s the image.
Now that I think about it, quite a few are bald and shave their heads, sooo… Maybe that’s an angle they could shoot for? Those could be some wild ads.

ceenote@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Not only is it not, its not even the only product marketed this way. Off the top of my head I’ve heard of anti woke coffee, beer, phones, foods… I don’t remember what any of them are called because that’s not a good use of brain space.
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’m gonna make some tooth brushes in two marginally different styles and sell one in rainbow and various LGBT flag patterns for the left and sell the other in camo, thin blue line flag and gun metal grey patterns for the right. Market the hell out of both of them based solely on being ideologically polarized to those each side hates. Milk everyone on both sides of their cash. And when they finally inevitably find out that they’re both produced by the same company, I’ll gamify it, posting weekly sales totals for each line and promising 20% of the profits at the end of the year get donated the a non-profit supported by the winning side. Let them fight each other by paying me. Also, no matter how overwhelming one side was actually winning, my posts would always indicate that it is a really close race, so that if just a few more people bought them, it might make a big difference.
That’s all bullshit, I’d never do that because I’m but a mine. But dozens of Libertarian sociopaths are taking notes right now.

So, what happened is Harry’s Razors used to run ads on the Daily Wire, then pulled them because… They’re the daily wire, basically. The guy who owns the daily wire took it personally and launched Jeremy’s razors to stick it to em.

Interesting that they target “manly, conservative men”… yet they look like they’re made of the saem cheap, shitty plastic most other disposable/cartridge razors use. And look at the ergonomic design… dont want their manly wittle hands cramping.
Politics aside, fuck cartridge razors and fuck products designed to generate trash.
CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The razors are actually pretty good. They’re solidly on-par with comparable brands. All designs should be ergonomic, human friendly.
I generally agree, I love me a good DE safety razor. 👍🏻
