1985 My Buddy Review 

I don't know how but my buddy has survived all these years. It's in a room in a bucket of old toys.

Ade due damballa.... give me the power I beg of you!!!

Never had one, but I certainly remember the theme song. The overalls, the striped shirt, that creepy happy face... I can definitely see where Chucky got his roots. lol

I like a lot of guys here had a My Buddy. Buddy is still around to this day kicking it with my parents at their house. I had the oldest version (not the wink and blink which was the second line) which is the version shown in this video. I got Buddy for Christmas in 1986. It was the single greatest Christmas gift I ever got. If I ever have a son I would pass my Buddy down. He has a bit of eczema on his hands. My Dad picked my my Buddy out because he looked like me...Blonde hair and blue eyes. I'm in the process of buying a Kid Sister for my best friend's daughter who will be turning four. As an aside new unopened My Buddy dolls and accessories are quite valuable as I'm sure most guys here know. I saw an unopened mint My Buddy (1985) and the three original boxed outfits for sale for $1,900.

I found a " My buddy" at a second hand store... He had a hole cut in his bum...Poor guy

intro alone was worth the watch you get your buddy drunk then throw a ball at his face lol Childs Play 1 was the best of those movies my opinion

Holy shit, the Good Guy is REAL!

Hilarious intro, John. The shot where you drop him was awesome! My Buddy drinking beer... Great info, too! I never had one and I never understood the appeal. There were too many other awesome toys out there in 85-90.

There was a parody of these in this Cartoon Network cartoon called "Clarence".

You might possibly be the most likable guy on RU-vid John.

I had one of these, growing up. This toy had a great hard head for smashing other bratty kids faces in. Haha great memories of the 80's

Oh god, I remember this thing... it scared the shit out of me when I was younger... just those beady eyes staring at me as I slept at night... I had him face away from me at night, eventually... this thing is STILL creepy. And my horrific experiences with this thing didn't start until AFTER I heard of the Child's Play films... so I have that to thank for my fear. lol, so many nightmares arose from this doll.

I remember seeing this commercial as a kid and thinking "Nope. Not a toy for boys." Don't know of a single boy in my town who had one.

Oh I remember the commercial well!! Didn't own it, but most of your reviews I have

I have two my buddy dolls...The black my buddy doll and the white my buddy doll...And I have one kid sister doll..,the red head with green eyes.

mine did too...i vividly remember covering it with a blanket at night because it creeped me out.

My Buddy: My buddy and me Chucky : time to traumatized your kids

I had an mybuddy but he was real the one and now I'm will always been the one.

I remember well the news covering the controversy around the movie "Child's Play" and the fact that many kids were throwing away their "My Buddy" dolls out of fear.

Overall, I'd say My Buddy is a pretty good toy. Together we enjoy sing-a-longs and camp outs! The one problem I have with him is that his bloodlust is a little too strong. Some of the things he makes me do are pretty bad.

I had a my buddy. My parents left him in the trunk of our car and the trunk started leaking and he got ruined. I remember my dad and mom fighting about getting me a buddy. My dad would say no son of mine is going to play with dolls. Let's just put a dress on him and call him Roberta from now on. Lol 80s Dads

I just bought this guy. I will receive him soon.

I know the commercial were popular but never ever did any of my friends or their kid siblings have a My Buddy. Unless, they had it tied up with duct tape across its mouth hidden in the closet, then maybe?

Now review the Buddi doll...........

I love my buddy i actually use to have one but when i was little i ripped it's head off i wish i never done that but i did anyway I'm really sad about it now because i loved my buddy doll he's really cool to me so very soon I'm getting a new my buddy doll from ebay i can't wait to because I'm have it again YAY😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

This doll is a more kid friendly version of Chucky and this still creeps me the fuck out.

lol dude love the whole intro. I do remember this doll and the commercials for it along with Kid Sister. All I could ever think about with Child's Play movies and that thing going ape shit then killing someone in the commercial lol

intro was hilarious, loved it! Great job bro!

i used 2 have one of these as a child. but one day we moved away 2 a new house, and i lost my beloved my buddy doll in da move. ill discribe my my buddy doll i had. da shirt was like da one in da video. but it had blue over-alls with red buttons, brown hair, a red hat and white shoes with a red stripe on da sides. i was always changing its clothes 2 baby clothes dat i had, dat fitted it. my buddy was my bestest friend ever. i slept with him every night. chucky dint scare me at all. if anything, chucky was wat made me want a my buddy doll so much as a kid in da first place. i actally got da my buddy for christmas, after seeing da very first childs play movie, cuz i thought chucky was really cool back then. i still miss my old my buddy doll/ childhood friend 2 death. but i haven't had any luck finding another one at a thrift store. much less one like da one i had. on da plus side, i did find a mint condition, 1986' my pet monster. with only one of da cuffs missing. this of-course more den makes up for da loss of my my buddy doll. plus i also have da actal real doll they made da original good guy/ chucky doll out of. let's edjacate u abit on this subject. its not exactly true dat da my buddy doll inspired chucky. all da my buddy doll inspired was da clothing alone, dat chucky wears. now fact of da matter is, da talking doll itself. it wasn't inspired by my buddy, since da my buddy doll did-not talk at all, like da good guy doll does in da movie when its not acting possesed. but there was one doll dat existed, and did all dat stuff dat da good guy doll did in da movie. and only needed a few little changes 2 create/ become da good guy doll. this doll was around at da same exact time, dat da first chucky was being made. its called the talking patty play-pal doll. now i actally have this doll. and it looks exactly like chucky already, face and all. da only thing they did 2 turn patty play-pal into chucky, was dye da hair red, and let it all loose. paint freckles on da face, dress it in chucky's/ my buddy's clothes, and change da tape 2 make it talk like da good guy doll/ chucky. of-course this doll is my most prized possesion. second is da 80's my pet monster, and 3rd my teddy ruxpin. and yes i also collect animatronic toys like fur-real friends and furbies, hence da teddy ruxpin. i love animatronics, and hold a hobbie collecting them aswell as hard 2 find 80's toys. i even have da male and female couch-potato dolls.

childs play was the best chucky movie in my perspective

I remeber when I was a kid we couldn't afford one of these, so my Grandma made me, my older brother, and my little sister dolls that looked like My Buddy and Kid Sister. Ha ha in the 80's when a boy owning a doll was not a bad thing. The funny thing is mine looked more like My Buddy than my brother's did.

I'm haunted to this day by this song, on my first day of school my brother who was 5 years older than me put his hand around my shoulder and sang this song shouting it while i was walking down the middle of campus to my classroom. I'm pretty sure he had a trollface on the entire time... =(

i was gonna get one of these as a kid, but then childs play came out and my mom said no. lol

lol, great intro... I have to say I really like this channel that you have, Gamester. Can't look at this dude without automatically thinking of Chucky though... O__O

i remember being just a little too old for one of these. . but my brother who is four years younger wanting one. . . it was around the same time a cabage patch and them Furskin things were really big. . i think my brother settled for a Furskin. .LoL

Best. Intro. Ever.

Only one thing would make the intro better. You taking a dump with "My Buddy" on your lap.

that doll comes alive and talks like chucky at night and moves it eyes

The beginning was hilarious! Great video John:D

I used to have one of these when I was younger! Great stuff, man!

i did have my buddy as a kid. i did goto court an i redid my name to Buddy an my older sis calls me my Buddy

Dat intro lmao that's awsome.

I remember this one!! Transformers was my thing as a kid. But the commercials played all the time while the cartoons were on. Memories

Awesome review. Never seen you do an intro like that before :)

Why are the comment sections turned off for every 80s my buddy commercial? So annoying when i see a video I like that I can't comment to.

As a kid for one Christmas this toy is all i wanted, and sure enough i got it, good memories

Love the intro You & my buddy having a drink lol

I found one in the garbage..I cleaned the overall, shampooed the hair and clean with rag,but stink a bit..How I can clean the body?..

holy crap I had the theme song stuck in my head before I even finished clicking on the video! Insidious 80's marketing with catchy jingles forever burned into my head..

I had a my buddy doll, but after i saw Child's Play I fuck'n beat the hell out of it, out of fear.

I own 8 of them.

I owned a My Buddy!

Nope, i think he means by nor the father or the child is to be seen, just a baby's momma with 7 kids with 8 different fathers. They had the optional orange prison attire with Black Buddy though.

I personally doubt it. I'm British and I can't remember watching the commercials on British television at the time.

Wow. I still even remember, vaguely at least, the "Kid Sister" commercial jingle. I had forgotten how much Chucky looks like my Buddy.

You need to do more intro skits like this from now on :)

i just bought my buddy now 2020 and i loved it i am from the 80s but i now but vintage dolls for my grandkids and my buddy is going down my sons generations down he is 15 so ge liked the idea passing my buddy down to our kids. now a days they only make ugly toys lol

I do remember them, but probably not the Hasbro version. I also remember some kind of spin offs of the My Buddy dolls but stuffed wrestlers? Or maybe I'm just way off on that. Either way, I do remember My Buddy and Kid Sister and that song... thanks for the video.

♪♪ My buddy, my buddy! My buddy, my buddy! ♪♪ ...Oh great! Now I got that song stuck in my head! Thanks a lot Gamester! ;-)

Wow I had this doll growing up

Before you even mentioned it I thought the doll looked like Chucky.

i bought one last year. i have named him bill. my mom loves him. my nephew is scared of him.

I got My Buddy for Xmas when I was a little girl, this original brown haired doll. I don't know if Kid Sister had been released yet, but I remember thinking My Buddy looked better anyway. He definitely had a better color scheme than she did.

I had a Kid Sister when I was little, but I ended up neglecting her because video games.

Found one on eBay new sealed a few years ago but couldn't justify the price tag.

are you the one who did the vintage talking bart doll?

Omg I have a original my buddy doll

The intro was amazing lol

mmm, I wonder where Mancini takes the idea of Child´s Play movie.

I STILL HAVE MINE FROM WHEN I WAS LITTLE I GOT HIM FOR MY FIRST BIRTHDAY ON OCTOBER 1ST OF 1998 I LOVE HIM I STILL HAVE HIM SITTING IN MY BED AFTER ALL THE YEARS I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH XOXO!!!

your thinking WWF Wrestling Buddies, I had the Hulk doll, and one of my friends had the Ultimate Warrior one, and we would fight them all the time lol!

This doll was a little bit before my time, i wouldnt have had one of those though i was more of a gi joe guy, but awesome video john this channel is amazing!

Intro was awesome XD

I have my Buddy doll and he is from 1985 its missing the hat and shoes

didn't you ever sell or throw anything away from your childhood. you seem to have everything

LOL.....Even as a kid I thought this was just a doll for boys who weren't outta the closet yet.....Hmmmmm..Note Buddy's rainbow colored shirt.....XD

Brilliant intro lol

Always wanted my buddy but never got it 😢

Now I have one that's going to be here on in the next Monday

I just found a picture when I was unwrapping my "My Buddy". It looks like a later version since the picture was taken in 95, but the only difference is the hair it seems!

My Buddy was awesome. I had one when I was a little kid. I ended up wearing his clothes for some reason. Then he was naked everytime I saw him in the toybox after that. He basically ended up being a naked doll. I did like him a lot though. My favorite was actually Wrinkles. Wrinkles was a dog hand puppet stuffed animal that had overalls on. I still have him and he's in very good condition.

I'm bidding for a 1985 My buddy doll (brown hair) right now on ebay for my 4 year old. I just heard of this doll about a couple of months ago and decided to buy it cause it looks exactly like my son. Same hair color, eye color, and hair do as well... LOL!

... My mom got rid of My Buddy after Child's Play was released.

Yup, I remember the commercials for this. Never had one though. But I think I never wanted one if I recall correctly.

I had the black version this toy when I was a lil guy. After watching this video, there's one thing that baffles me... Why did I want this doll so badly? MY BUDDY DIDN'T DO JACK SQUAT!! He didn't have any phrases to speak after pullin' a string or nothin'......he just sat there.

Now I have one

So you have another channel outside of gamester81, I feel robbed and because of that, I want my youth back! Dx

LMAO I'm pretty sure South Park spoofed this song with awesome-o

My brother got one for his 1st birthday 89' how tell was the original one?

Chucky!!!!!

finally I got one I love him and I named him chucky! lol

great intro :D

LOL that'd be awesome to have that theme song with Chucky in the vid. LOL Thanks for watching bro!

I use to have one, mine had the eye lids that closed when he laid down.

Dat beginning do ... CHUCKY

lol i had one but he was more of a rum and coke guy!!!!

CHUCKEYS BROTHER

I use to take mine and pretend it was Chucky lol

Yeah it's a very catchy jingle. =)

My younger brother had one.
