The Micro Machines guy is John Moschitta Jr, a New Yorker who once held the Guinness World Record for the fastest talker (his record was broken in 1990). He's the one who sang Michael Jackson's BAD in twenty seconds. He can articulate 586 words per minute which is still incredible
I never had a Furby when they first came out but I did find myself one at a thrift store last year. My husband and I use it to torment each other by hiding it around the house. It also talks at random which makes it all the better. Best spot is between the towels across from the toilet... The stuff of nightmares...
@Parrottsonthe platueo, I remember my daughter wanting a furry the first year it came out and it was extremely hard to get one so a guy that worked at wal mart had bought all of them and was selling out of his trunk of his car behind of the store for double the cost . It felt like an unsafe drug deal going back there to get that toy she wanted so badly . She only played with it a few times too . The things parents will do to make their kids happy at Christmas is crazy now that I look back it , I can't believe I done that , honestly . My grandson would love those soccer poppers he would beat the crap out of himself playing with the though .
I wanted a Skip-It, but I had adult size feet as a third grader so that didn't happen lol. I had a friend whose dad got drunk, screwed around with Teddy Ruxpin, and would thereafter use it to play his Metallica tapes (I guess it wasn't supposed to be able to play anything but the official TR tapes). The Easy Bake oven needed a 100 watt light bulb and at least 3 in my neighborhood caught fire. This is why I never got one for my daughter when she was little, even though it was supposed to be safer lol. I was low-key hoping for My Buddy/Kid Sister, but they aren't often in the 'old toy commercial reaction' videos. I just really remember wanting one specifically because I'm the oldest of six and wanted a sibling I could turn off whenever I wanted lmao. I did have all of the Care Bears AND their cousins, though!
My daughter has a teddy rudskin bear. The cassets would go in and he would read a story..thats why there are the books to follow the story The micro machine guy actually talked that fast and thats why the disclaimers sound fast to try and imitate the guy...He was the only guy that could talk that fast.
My cousin used to have a Teddy Ruxspin, and then one of my old friends used to put a music tape in it so it would play music instead of reading stories.
I enjoyed this so much, y'all are hilarious! This brought back so many memories. I never had a teddy ruxpin although I wanted one but they're were five of us & money was tight! We made our own hot wheels playset out of cardboard and crayons, good times. Furby's we're so creepy, I'd take the batteries out of my sister's all the time. I miss all my childhood toys so much!
Socker Poppers- never saw the commercial that I remember nor did my friends have any Micro Machines- Awesome commerical- never had them- I had Hot Wheels- still have them Teddy Ruxpin- Remember the commerical- never wanted him Skip-It I had a jump rope Easy Bake Over- My friend had one- don't remember the M&M commercialo version Hot Wheels- didn't have anything other than the cars. We had chalk and a driveway. Operation!- Had and have one still. Always creepy commericals. Guess Who? Remember the commericals, never owned or played it. Even iwth my kids, they did though. Furby- Remember the commerials, never had one, never wanted one
So funny - that picture of you with Teddy Ruxpin ... you are sitting on the same wagon wheel couch/furniture with that pattern we had when I was a kid in the 80's. The furniture was dangerous.
The 90s toys made of her to the toys that I grew up with in the 70s would definitely kill you!😎😁😂❤️💯 and to this day I love that I’ll stick to my matchbox cars and or hot wheels great video guys now go to your free therapy session🙃🍺
When it comes to the skip it, "Skip it," !!! yeah it's like jump rope, only Sideways!!! & Those inflatable bopper things, they used to use them in marriage counseling/theropy!!!! & Hot wheels? Those kids were just re-enacting everything they saw on TV & in movies...!!! Dukes of Hazzard, In a city!!! Cop shows.... Come on !!! Operation's been around since the Earl 1960's, when I was little! My Mom wdnt get it. She thot it was Grosse!!! But our friends had it!!
Fun fact, I snuck out of the house routinely as a teen, and used my brother’s ground floor window to get back in (because he could and has slept through a tornado before). One night he left his Teddy Ruxpin near the window and it must have had a motion sensor or something and as I slipped inside it announced, “Hi, my name is Teddy Ruxpin, can you and I be friends?” And proceeded to kick its dang fool head off. He was grounded for breaking his Christmas gift, and I confessed my crime to him on his 30th birthday. But really, I did us all a favor, because that thing was terrifying talking nightmare fuel in fuzzy bear form.
True story; one Christmas, one of my cousins got a first-gen Teddy Ruxpin, and I replaced the usual cassette with 2 Live Crew's "As Nasty As They Wanna Be."
Came to the comments just to see what other tapes people put in! I was just a little too old for the toy when it came out, so we put a Pantera tape in it.
Do you remember 2XL? It was a robot that used 8-track tapes, and it was all educational type stuff. One of my cousins had one, and I remember playing a Black Sabbath album through it. :)
Okay I'm 63. I didn't have a skip it but I did have a precursor to it. It had a hard plastic ring that you slipped over your foot and around your ankle, a plastic cord that attached to a ball with jingle bells in it. I also had an operation game that would scare the bejesus out of me. I did have an easy bake oven and I absolutely loved it. I got my granddaughter an easy bake oven for her birthday one year and she absolutely loved it. My youngest son had a Teddy ruxpin and even after it broke he would not let me get rid of it. I think it's still around here somewhere. Everybody had Hot Wheels. I was really disappointed not to see rock'em sock'em robots. Great stroll down memory lane.
@@geralynnmatta2763 Hi! I had the Lemon up skip it myself. It was back around 1977 I think. Every time the skip it commercial came on I told my husband look that's the Lemon up skip toy I had! He said he was too old for it when it came out the first time. I'm glad someone else remembered it. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵🙂✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
Our school has had the low-tech, plastic skip-its in every classroom's playground equipment since 2019. Few of them get used because the ankle loop either doesn't fit over kids' shoes or it is too loose and flies off as they play. And there's always the one kid who uses it as a flail, swinging it at kids for no good reason.
"Blow 'em up, put your hand inside" *That's what she said* Teddy Ruxpin may be scary, but not as scary as It's A Small World at Disney must be after the park closes
@@ponykarr1396 OMG, so did I! For at least a half-hour, right next to one of the amplifiers. Used to be one of my favorite rides, but haven't been on it since.
We had to destroy my son's Furbee No joke, it went berserk in the middle of the night. My husband and I, dazed from waking up to a crazed furbee couldn't figure out how to turn it off and smashed it with a hammer. My sons didn't care, because they were kind of creeped out by Furbee too.
@Skyla Carleton my sons Furbees did! That night it was moving around and talking gibberish all by itself. My sons didn't really like them anyway, cause they were CREEPY AF
I was so annoyed when Socker Boppers came out because my siblings and I were already doing that with rolled up sleeping bags, and it felt like they stole our idea.
I remember all these commercials. To answer the question that was asked, Gremlin’s came out about a decade before furby did. One of the three our family had would wake up in middle of the night and start talking his fool head off, his batteries got removed first. 🤣🤣🤣
When my son was a toddler he loved Hot Wheels. When it came time to potty train him I used this love to my advantage. I bought 7 Hot Wheels and told him,"Every time you go poo poo on the potty you get a Hot Wheels." It worked like a charm.
I loved Hot Wheels. My son loves hot wheels. I used Hot Wheels to help potty train my son when he was 3. Unfortunately, as a parentI have concluded that Hot Wheels are worse than Legos. Legos have never been used to crack a cellphone or 56-inch TV. :P
Guys, Loved the video. Maybe you can do one on toys of the 70's like the deadly ClickClack, the ultra safe Lawn Jarts and other educational toys we had back then. Again, Love all your content. Please keep it up.
I still have my clacker that I got when I was in Junior High. They are red and I had so many bruises on my right arm from it. lol I'm 65 years old now. Tha's how old they are.
We girls were just talking about lawn darts at work the other day. We used to play chicken with the lawn darts. We'd throw them up in the air and stand there and see who could last the longest before we jumped out of the way. LMAO miraculously, none of us were ever hurt.
My Easy Bake was from the 60’s the cake was great - though my older brother you to snitch them before I could frost them. I still have the oven and it still works with the original 60 watt lightbulb!
The cake baked itself. It was loaded with chemicals, I’m sure. It was the consistency of a brownie at best. I remember them and eating them as a child. I thought they were great.
Back in the '50's, my Dad and I watched cartoons, Laurel and Hardy, Three Stooges, etc. Dad would diss the toy commercials with comments like, "Aw, that's just two cents worth of plastic.". Glad he took time to watch TV with us kids. Even tho later on, when I watched Humphrey Bogart movies, Dad always said, "well there's that Goon again".
My cousin had a ferbie that freaked out, literally started acting demonic with a deep distorted voice and random blinking eyes and movements and then he started smoking, made a screaming sound and then just died. A little bit of smoke just started coming out of the top and then it just stopped. We picked it up with gloves, threw it in the yard, sprayed it with the hose and threw it in the trash. It was horrific.
Electric/chemical/powered toys always have injured kids, less often mentally. Remember ber the movie Poltergeist and the rich kid toys that went whack.
Grew up with my dad's childhood Tonka dump trucks to play with. Metal, to boot. They hurt to hit your shin on. But they are phenomenal to dig in gravel, haul dirt and rocks. We got Guess Who for road trips. Loved it. Still have it. Mom got my brothers a lot of little matchbox/hot wheels style cars. Mom is saving them for future grand kids - in ice cream buckets
The Guess Who commercial shown here is the updated version....they had to add "tiles do not talk" because the original commercial showed them talking and the game was purchased based on that and people expected them to talk.....I think they might have been sued because it was shown as false advertising to show them talking when they didn't. (Back in the days when the commercials had to show the TRUE experience....now people know most of it is CGI)
If my memory serves, Furby caused a kerfuffle and was banned from certain intelligence agency buildings, as it was feared it could record classified conversations.
My cousin had a furbee when she was younger. And then years later she was asleep and woke up to it going off. It said, “I’m hiding.” Yeah I would’ve thrown it away immediately
Awesome. Remembering raising my kids in the 90's and bought a lot of these toys. But I remember as when I was a kid and I had a lemon twist kinda looked like the skip it. But there wasn't a counter. Would y'all review some of the toys commercials in tht late sixty's and seventies?🤷♀️😜
I think 'Operation' was from the 70's, as was Hot-Wheels. Those two, I think are older than the 80's. They just had a longer marketing program. :) I also remember adults from work getting those Furby's and having them at their desk. I think they were told to turn them off. :)
Hi B E, I remember the neighbor's kids had the Operation game back in 1967 or '68. And it wasn't new when they taught me how to play it. So it was a 60's game, not a 70's game. The game is over 50 years old. Hope this helps. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵🙂✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
@@BROUBoomer I stand corrected. :) I was born in the 60's, but wouldn't have been aware of the game until the 70's. Thanks for setting me straight. I love 'just the facts'. :)
My friend's daughter had a Furby that was defective. It never shut off! That thing scared the crap outta me, and I was a full grown adult with 3 kids. My children never got a Furby. This made me think of toy commercials in the 60's and 70's. Anyone else remember the Whizzer? They were little tops that you revved up on the ground and let them spin. In the commercial, they showed a kid who put it on his head. So, of course, I tried it and ended up with a bald spot on my head because my mom had to cut it out with scissors.
My parents got those socker boppers for my brother and I because it was better for us to hit each other with them than our own fists and our bats.... they didn't leave as many bruises...and there were less awkward questions. My brother and I were violent with each other and it only ended after he thought he got bigger than me and tried some macho man BS and I shoved his face into our dad's dirty laundry and just kneeled on his back. He never tried anything again.
In the 70s and 80s my mother always made his turn down the sound to nothing when the commercials would come on for toys. She would say this is how it'll be in real life if you have that toy. She was so right!
I had the lemon twist too - it had beads or something inside that made a very satisfying "shiiick shick" as it spun around. I loved mine, but never thought to hula too!
I grew up in the Tonka generation and absolutely detested hot wheels. Those tiny hard wheels wouldn't roll on anything but a table or a hard floor. Tonka trucks, on the other hand, could roll over the neighbors' entire hot wheels collection without and problem at all. Besides, Tonka toys were made to play in THE DIRT. Who could ask for more?
@@llamasugar5478 My kids had metal tonkas! My older daughter punished that thing! Put it through everything! I should see if I can find one for my 7 y/o granddaughter! She would be a great toy tester dropping them from trees, burying it in dirt, dropping rocks on it! OMG! She's just like her mom! lol
I liked my Tonka yellow dump truck, gave my sister rides and rode it with a knee. I liked Matchbox cars better because more "Real", especially old ones, Studebaker Lark Wagonaire & c.
My cousin had a precursor to Teddy Ruxpin. It was a talking bear named Biff. When you pulled the string, his mouth moved. My cousin was just a baby when he got it. They pulled the string and Biff said, "I think I'll go beat up a ... a... chipmonk!" My cousin burst into tears. He didn't really warm up to that bear until he got a little older when he figured out how to poke his finger in the bear's mouth to shut him up.
I worked for Kay Bee Toys and Toys R Us during this time and sold all of these. We played with all this stuff during down time. My favorite was laser tag and super soakers, running around the aisles of Toys R Us when it was closed. So much fun! Now that damn Teddy Ruxpin, every employee hated that!!!! When we turned out the main lights at night, that possessed bear would start talking and scare the hell outta all of us. Picture a totally silent, dark toy store, with weird shadows on the walls, then suddenly...BAM! Teddy starts talking somewhere down an aisle. Creepy! I wouldnt touch it. *SHUDDERS*
So many childhood toy memories in one video! My sister and I had Guess Who, Socker Boppers, and a Skip-It! I had Hot Wheels cars, but never that tower or any Micromachines.
Children's toys have been crazy for decades . There were lawn darts that actually injured several people , chemistry sets , a nuclear lab with real nuclear material , a soldering iron with wood planks . The original Boba Fett action figure launched a projectile that got recalled after some kids choked on it . There was a toy locomotive that burned fuel to produce steam , and a pop gun that used chemicals to shoot a ping pong ball . In the 70s I had a rocket launcher that used a pump to compress water .You could injure yourself if you held your face in front of the rocket when you tripped the trigger .
Heh, I remember playing with that water rocket... I think it was toys from the 1970s Battlestar Galactica that led to the "laser" redesigns. We had the earlier versions as kids.
@@CantankerousDave Yep . Mine was clear red plastic . Did you have an Evil Knievel wind-up motorcycle with action figure ? Did you have the SST car that used a ripcord to spin the drive wheel ? Did you have the Smash Up Derby cars that exploded when they crashed into your mom's furniture ?
Every parent in America knows just how painful it is to step on a hotwheels in the middle of the night. (that and legos) Yeah they're lucky we never sued. 😡😡😡 As for the Furby um yeah- I think a million kids' childhoods were destroyed thanks to this evil looking doll. It was creepy as heck when I was a kid. As an adult, it's horrifying. KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!
