Vat19

Vat19 is an online retail company founded by Jamie Salvatori (born: ), and Jeremy Salvatorihttps://www.jumbybaystudios.com/about.cfm. It has a 23-year run in the real life and an 16-year run on YouTube, since 2007 when their first video was uploaded. Vat19 consists of 17 employees and its YouTube channel has over 1,000 videos, including various types: normal advertisement, Peep This, Awesome Time, Awesome Time: Q&A, Challenges, The Sample Room, Give More Awesome, Vat19Land, Giveaways, Bonus footages (or Behind the Scenes), Hidden in Plain Sight, This Could Be Awesome, White Elephant Show, and so on. Ever since the channel started, Vat19 has gained criticism for its expensive prices.
Vat19's online store has more than 450 products and also a variety of DVDs.
==2nd channel==
Vat19 also has a second channel called vat19two. It is mainly about other Awesome Time videos, outtakes, extra footages and the makings of the ads-type videos. It published its first video in 2011 and unfortunately, it began being inactive 2 years later (2013) when the owner of Vat19, Jamie, said goodbye to it and return to their main channel. Somehow, at the beginning of 2015, another video titled "Untitled" showed up on this channel, mostly about an employee walking around the hall where some of the products are stored and it also revealed the Not-a-Cat Cat which later became a product made by Vat19.
On March 6, 2020, they released a video called "Vat19 Channel Two Announcement!" on announcing that they would go ahead and post all the taste test videos on that account.

==Trivia==
*In every video, Vat19 has an ending jingle which includes some people (preferably men) sing the phrase "Vat19" (pauses) "dot com", while the video shows the company's logo and a mouse pointer points at the website, telling them to visit it.
*Continuing from the above trivia, some first videos don't have that jingle. Later, there was a tagline "Vat19.com: Creator of award-winning DVDs, and purveyor of curiously awesome products" being said at the ending. Further, the part "Creator of award-winning DVDs" was cut and the last part was kept along with the jingle. And from those videos recently posted around 2012 to present, there is only the jingle played.
*The normal advertisement videos are not only just product-featuring by words like ads you see everywhere, but sometimes they also include songs (music video) to highlight their products better and somewhat make the videos more entertaining.
*Vat19 has several running gags. Here are some examples:
**Cross Promo - when the video features another Vat19 product.
**Pun City - when Jamie (or someone else in the video) makes a pun.
**Bottle Openers - Vat19 is known for its bottle opener jokes.
**Fastbreak383 - The user named "Fastbreak383" always appears in the series Burning Questions.
**Giant Products - Vat19 has a lot of massive and giant products.
**Spicy Products - Vat19 has several spicy products commonly featured in their videos.
