    I am making a video of a few products/machines and was wondering if it is legal or not to have their company logo and name in the video?

    It is going to be a comedy video, short less than 10min on youtube.

    Is it ok to have their stuff in the video and were talking bad about it etc?

    I am not making $ off this....its just for fun

    From what you're saying, I would say that it falls within the fair use exception for parody...

    If you have other questions, let me know.
