I Tried Walmart's Terrifying Metaverse Experience 

danny looks like a military dad finally coming home to his children and trying to find a way to connect with them

Calling kids "young consumers" is what I expect the big bad robot from a science fiction book to call kids

Seeing Danny Gonzalez investigate Roblox is like seeing a wounded deer investigate a theme park. No matter what you happens you know he’s going to get hurt

as a Walmart employee, the amount of times I heard Noah schnapp advertising this game on the Walmart radio was insane

Young shoppers... the only phrase that could possibly make it more clear how they value people based solely upon how much of which products they buy would be calling them "Undeveloped Consumers" or some shit

The Walmart VR shopping experience very closely resembles a reoccurring nightmare I would have as a child of going shopping with my mom in a grocery store floating in nothingness with a vampire sales associate chasing us

Danny and drew both doing drastically strange things with their hair so people can finally tell them apart

"you already have a full gallon of milk put the milk back!!" YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MILK I DRINK

Danny playing roblox is like my grandpa googling "google" each time he wants to search something

I worked for Walmart, can confirm that these look JUST like their training videos. They're like from the 90's, super dystopia and depressing. The vibe of this vid is accurate.

Danny losing his mind over a Walmart game in Roblox with a buzz cut is something I never thought I would see in my lifetime💀

his imitation of the hands being terrified made me laugh so hard for no reason

Walmart referring to children as Young Shoppers feels so dystopian it's actually hilarious

After briefly working in sales, I'm convinced they're from another planet. The people who make those "shopping experiences" think people want a person constantly talking to them and can't comprehend someone who wouldn't like that, even when you tell them directly. They 100% wanted that whole hologram guide thing irl

I feel like corporations are forgetting that normal people DON’T want this virtual dystopia that they seem to think humanity is heading towards. We all actively don’t want that.

Fun fact: Almonds we eat are called Sweet almonds, being a type of almond genetically modified to be edible since normal almonds contain dangerous amounts of Cyanide, while Sweet almonds do not.

I always get the names metaverse and omegaverse mixed up. I was genuinely expecting an omegaverse Walmart video.

Danny and his wife are gonna have a young shopper of their own soon. Congrats 🎉

Danny's continued hatred of smart fridges is inspiring. What it inspires, I wouldn't like to say.

As a Roblox veteran watching him struggle to figure it out is hilarious

7:25 had me dying laughing with the father staring at the shopping cart going thru the floor lmao

The sound of fucking glass shattering when the wine gets tossed into the cart has me absolutely fucking geeking

I was helping my sister study for her anthropology test (on monkeys and evolution etc.) and she mentioned bonobos (the monkeys)-so of course I immediately thought of *bonobos sweater blue* and it’s been stuck in my head ever since The only detail on the study guide about bonobos was “they’re always having sex” so do with that what you will

I love that the whole point of the metaverse is to not interact with people by not being in a real Walmart, yet they made an employee talk to you constantly

Remember when you were a kid staring into a dark closet or room, and you would feel a primal, yet indescribable feeling of discomfort and fear? That's what I feel when watching and learning about Walmart Land.

One time the employee at the local subway recognised me and my brother because we went there so often and we Never Went Back, so the idea that the store itself would acknowledge me directly is a nightmare

The monorail bit is so funny because that other guy was most likely a child and Danny just messed with him like it was nothing 😂

The intro is the best part. I could watch Danny riff off that original cringe Walmart metaverse experience demo for a solid hour.

I keep expecting the metaverse experience at the beginning to turn into a horror game and it just remains a serious corporate dystopia. Which is even scarier.

When I was working at Walmart we weren't allowed to fight the customers, but I'm happy to hear the company is finally listening to the requests of its employees.

The bit from 7:17 - 7:27 is seriously so unbelievably hilarious. I love how he brought the joke from earlier into it.. Brilliance my guy

the yassified Van Gogh part caught me wayyy off guard 💀

The way Danny genuinely thought Noah schnapp was gonna be right there in the game has me dying

This is like the inferior version of those ad buildings you can enter in Poptropica. Except instead of building a full lame world, it is just one easy to ignore building, the games inside them were usually short little missions as a distraction, there were actual signs saying it is an ad so at least they were following the laws and it was slightly more ethical, the games inside them actually work and are not infuriating and the clothes and accessories you get from them actually easily show up on your character. Plus you can wear those clothes in actual good games.

Watching Danny fail at one of the most easy obbies is hilarious to me.

i feel like that walmart vr experience could've been a real cool horror concept

as a walmart employee i can verify this is exactly how an in person shopping experience would be like

When I started playing roblox I legit also thought it was only 1 game. But nobody knows that its the literal minds of every child on earth thrown into a gazzilion gabillion games. Also Danny not using the search bar to find Wal-Mart land, is actually hilarious! p.s. I don't play couple anymore, the weird games were starting to get to me

Okay i lowkey wanna play this now. Also danny being so happy about beating a kid in an argument was actually hilarious.

Danny trying to look older: *proceeds to shave his head* Danny now looking like a 1st grader on the first day of school

The look on Danny’s face when he found out he can’t dance in Walmart Land

It’s especially dystopian because they’re like “here let the robot deliver it to your car!” And show you a fake drone delivering it to your car while in real life, a struggling, overworked, single parent is lugging it out to the car

The random person in the Roblox chat answering Danny's questions is the type of person that is the backbone of society.

That virtual shopping experience was so uncomfortable to watch. I don’t understand why corporations think this is something people want. I don’t want this. No one I know wants this. I do a lot of online shopping. I have a special needs kid who has a really hard time going into stores. I homeschool so going when she’s at school isn’t an option. Pickup orders are fantastic for me. But why oh why would I want to put on a VR headset, have someone guide me through my own shopping list, and checking up on what I already have in my fridge?!

Danny is funny, he's always been funny but recently I've been laughing out loud more and more with his more recent videos, even if he's already a great youtuber, seeing (in my eyes) comedic growth is really nice as a long time fan :-)

Rewatching a year later I laughed even harder, Danny nailed this one pas he always does

i love buying virtual food in the metaverse that doesn't exist and will not help me in any way with actually staying alive. its my favorite

I will never get over the fact Danny calls himself daddy it’s too funny

There is no way in my wildest dreams as a kid I would have imagined fast forwarding to 2022 and watching a video on a tiny computer in my hand with Danny declaring he doesn't want Walmart talking to his fridge behind his back and me realizing that's a valid concern that some people have to have in these weird times

this has such BuyNLarge vibes it's freaking me out could've been a great horror game, like the shopping version of the Stanley Parable

It was so funny seeing Danny navigate through roblox, i wish someone could have guided him lmao

I work for a company that tracks tenant data, and I was devastated to find out my $100 work shirts (that I only buy on clearance for $20) from Bonobos were just Walmart shirts…

God, I kept forgetting that Walmart was trying their best to appeal to me as a consumer with that demo. Their idea of a good time shopping is learning that your smart fridge was talking shit about your dairy consumption to the Walmart Skynet?

Not many things make me genuinely laugh from my gut but this was funny as hell

"We just talked to your smartfridge and it told us you're ugly" is one of the most frightening statements I have ever heard.

The virtual shopping could be good for people with disabilities but when I found out you need to actually go to the store- it loses its whole purpose

This was literally just 20 minutes of Danny playing roblox and failing. I WANT MORE.

I've developed a habit of leaving a like on the video every time Danny makes me laugh hysterically. I don't think there's a video I've watched of his that I haven't liked.

Dude, I'm literally crying laughing on how you're explaining and talking about the VR shopping experience Walmart tried to originally do. "so my cart goes to my fridge and my TV gets delivered as I'm sacrificed to stay here" 🤣😭💀💀💀 loved this.

After watching the video back, I have concluded that Danny gets the coins in walmart land from a badge that he earns from riding the monorail for the first time

the most unrealistic part of this metaverse is the fact that their shelves are fully stocked and all the items are in the right place

I can't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did during the milk part

a while ago I had a nightmare that I was living in a studio apartment with only 2 rooms: Studio apartment and an infinite Walmart that contained literally everything imaginable in stock always. it was awful and I felt like I was but a human soul stuck in a capitalistic hellscape, a dry husk of civilization. the world ended with not a bang but with the equivalent power company turning off your power because you hadn't paid your bill. I was designed for more, I AM designed for more, but I was being limited by some asshole who doesn't think beyond his microdick before sealing my fate and that of billions more in the name of profit. I can only wonder if he enjoys himself, what world did he expect to enjoy, to what could he flaunt his greed, he sacrificed everyone already, the only thing to do is renounce and think of others or become one and die alive, extinction without being killed, rotting but unable to decompose. I didn't want to, I didn't have a choice.

I like how Danny just brings back moments into other ones which make this 10x more funny 😂

I have no idea why the algorithm threw your video up for me on auto play but I am so glad it did. I ended watch 4 of your vids and could not stop laughing. Kiddo you are so funny and amazing. I am going to throw you on when I need to lighten up and have a great laugh 🎉😂

Ah yes, rather than checking your fridge we need a remotely accessed fridge inventory that walmart can see at all times. That would never go wrong! cough cough, the amazon incident, cough cough

Danny purposely pissing off someone that’s very likely a kid is way too hilarious 😂

I'm traumatised by this hair change. These things need to be gradual, it's too much of a revolution in my environment and I'll miss your luscious locks, but actually good for you for not getting people like me dictate your life choices. The shit Walmart and the Metaverse are up to is a strong second in my list of traumas tho. I hope I won't be reassured and suddenly wake up in a universe where I've let this become my life.

Idk about anyone else, but I used to call Walmart: “Wallys World”. I thought it was a common nickname for it. Maybe a Midwest thing, maybe a Minnesota specific thing, but still. “Wallys World” would have been a better name choice over of “Walmart Land” imo

This is your best work ever man! I appreciate every searing reply. You took the available information in the story and extrapolated that to the most absurd yet rationale outcome haha

I loved this video. I totally feel the frustration of trying to figure out Roblox. And I gotta say it was very funny watching another adult play if for the first time. That was me when I first played and sometimes now lol. And yes the glitches are neverending with Roblox lol. But when he tried to equip the sweat pants and shirt.. XDXDXD I have SO been there. LOL It still happens to me on some games. It can be VERY frustrating lol. I've actually played Walmart Land before. And I looked for Noah too! XDXDXD Sadly I've seen stranger things but not all of it and it's been at least a year or so since I've watched it, so I got a lot of questions wrong too lol. But ultimately I found Walmart Land very boring. There's nothing to do that has a real objective. Which I found a little disappointing because the "world" is actually very pretty. OH and he might have picked up a coin while on the mono rail, there are coins a long the track, but idk. Anyways great video I loved all of it! It takes a lot to make me laugh and I laughed a lot. :) Thank you :)

danny never fails to make me laugh and i haven’t laughed like this in a while

I really hope people start making horror games on this concept. Like it’s the perfect theme for a psychological horror dystopian game.

Why is this man so funny. Like every video of his i watch has me rolling. Man doesn’t miss

Oh no Danny , It’s all about replacing the employees not the customers 😂

This one actually made me laugh out loud, multiple times. Is it Danny, Danny’s hair, or Walmart’s audacity?

18:10 watching Danny rage at a simple roblox obby is so funny 🤣

I would love to have a happy medium between irl Walmart and metaverse Walmart (I want to be alone in a Walmart with a self checkout)

That’s crazy that Walmart can advertise directly to children, without transparency, with impunity

Walmart in the metaverse is like shopping on the Walmart website but with extra steps.

Danny, i discover you some days ago, now you getting weirder and funnier with every video i watch.

You are one of the few people who consistently makes me laugh out loud. Thanks for that

It would be cool if the store had endless isles with different stores on each side, like Safeway, Home Depot, and so many more.

Game theory: Walmart made that video feel so dystopian so you'd rather go to a real Walmart instead

Watching Danny fail horribly at probably one of the easiest obbies I’ve ever seen is hilarious

Oh my God that virtual Walmart section had me cracking up the whole time 😂😂😂

The fact that they are called young shoppers is so dystopian. That’s all these corporations view them as is shoppers and they are trying to force themselves into their lives through the games they play.

Danny's reaction to playing Roblox for the first time as an adult is so relatable. As someone who didn't grow up with Roblox it makes me feel better about my own ineptitude the first time I played a few months ago "Obbi? Is that a word?" - Danny Gonzalez

Danny is doing something big i can feel it he's going to yet again fool us

In this video: Danny alienates 90% of his audience by hating on Roblox the entire time. 10/10

I had a nightmare about a never ending walmart that stretched on endlessly and it still wasn't as mind-numbingly fucking terrifying as this

I feel like this has promise. Not, from Wal-Mart, or done like this, but if say, a department store had virtual shopping that was well designed & easy to navigate, like a good video game, it could be great. The problem with online shopping is not getting to wonder around and see random things.

As somebody who’s been playing roblox for years, it was hilarious seeing Danny fail at such an easy obby

These things remind me of having conversations with my insanely coked up professional DJ friend 20 years ago, where his vision of the future was uncannily close to this, and I'd just be asking "why? how is this actually better?"

The world's corporations are slowly turning into a Bladerunner type future and I don't know whether to be impressed or scared. Also how much they pay Noah to host "trivia games" in Walmart Land? I need to know.

“I never want my smart fridge snitching on me to Walmart” -Danny Gonzalez 2023

This was added to my “videos I fucking love” playlist. Thank you sir for your service

The milk thing had me laughing hard. Like "can anyone hear me, and is it obvious I'm alone" hard. The nerve that you'd just talk to my fridge, then tell me to put it back?! I'd very quickly be double homiciding Sam and my fridge. I know they hit it off, but I'm still the human here, damnit! .....AI's gonna be fine.

I would honestly pay money to see Danny play roblox games for an hour

Honestly it'd be pretty fun to have a virtual store where you can hang out with your friends while shopping for stuff online
