Evolution of Barney The Dinosaur - DIStory Ep. 56 

You were part of this admit it

My thoughts exactly! The poor Barney actors - makes you wonder why they didn’t try building Animatronic masks like the Gorgs in Fraggle Rock used.

Wouldn’t be mad if there was a DefunctTv episode on Barney ☺️.

Do pee wees playhouse please

The first suit for barney looked like chomper from land before time

I'm sure Parker could have done a lot with a character named BJ 😂

I would've loved to see that version.

Oh my god! They killed BJ

No, he's actually squished. Anyway, you monsters!

Didn't South Park once have a similar character?

Definitely

Omg you said it definitely needs too do it

They even appeared on Barney's Musical Castle. The tour not the video

Yes please, Wiggles evolution video!!

Yes i would love that he did Barney he did big bird he did the teletubies he’s got to do a wiggles evolution of one of the wiggles characters like Dorthy the dinosaur or wags the dog or Henery the octopus

Ya’ll know his Japanese actor of Jotaro

That’s so cool. I had cancer as a baby and my parents used the videos to get me to stay still while getting chemo treatments.

How did u lose ur hearing?

@@cooperminion825 I have a genetic disorder called Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome. It usually onsets about the age of 5, usually by a hit to the head

@@bookmovietvworm dang that sounds awful, I play band so if I lost hearing idk what I’d do. Wishing you the best 🙏🏼 ♥️

......Um "already"???? Considering you were FOUR already, your English should be absolutely perfect during most verbal conversation!

buts it’s animation

@@brviah I was talking about his costumes in theme parks, live shows, etc. Not the TV show lol

@@Yellowroll oh sorry my bad

I loved the musical so much

The mouse sees all! ALL!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

They don't call him Disney Dan for nothing!

@@TheSmart-CasualGamer The first Mickey looks like he’s seen some things! 😂

I’m 28 btw and sing it to my 8 yr old until he gets annoyed hahahaha

@@Stephanie-px3tf My mom did the same thing to me growing up, hahaha. She would even play a cassette of it in the car, to the point where I started having dreams with the song playing

@Timothywhack115 28 is the new 40

@@the-inatorinator haha I remember I had a cassette but I think I might’ve annoyed my mom and she gifted it lol

A bit late, but you might wanna check out Carry Stinson's podcasts, Purple Tales(discontinued for unknown reasons) and Purple Roads(essentially the "new season" of Purple Tales). Basically, he's the guy in the Barney suit and invites peeps who worked on Barney and other children shows. Purple Tales purely focuses on Barney tho :3

I was a hardcore Barney kid.

Agree.

I never seen the show but I saw the movie and loved it so much the I can never forget this one time I was in toy world shop and they had a chain of Barnys all over and I asked my mum if I could get one but as she said no I started crying because I couldn’t get him but now I can make my own so take that mum

Am I the only one who thinks the kids on the show were mentally disabled?

@Will N The teachers should talk to their students like normal people so they don't feel patronized.

Bruh 🤣

thankfully the kids never got in any trouble

I always thought he was pink

@@cooperminion825 And I thought he was a Clifford-Red in some episodes for some reason.

@@thecarebearsandcecfan2002 interesting

Lol. Yeah

I saw the design of Barney back in 2002, and was still afraid. I was terrified and left the live show crying.

@@opossumsauce4472 SAME! I honestly still have nightmares.

He looks like something out of _Berserk_ , and that's the last thing you want associated with Barney.

It's a very Don Bluth-esque look, which works in a cartoon, but in a suit, that's gonna be seen by tots all across the nation? Probably not.

Same. He still is a comforting character for me at times. 💜💚

I understand. Unfortunate and heartbreaking crap happened today, and since we work like this nowadays, I tried to find some kind of consolation on youtube. So randomly I came across a Barney episode and wanted to watch it, without context. I can't believe that listening to that purple goof talk in such a gentle and supportive way was the only thing on youtube that made me half smile

I can assure you every rumor you’ve heard regarding Barney is untrue. The cursing on live tv is the easiest to debunk simply because the show didn’t air live, even dialogue for live appearances is pre-recorded. Not to mention the VO actors are consummate professionals… they held Barney to a high standard and knew any slip-ups would jeopardize the brand. The hatred started after the first video was released. They received a negative review in people magazine, and the critic really took it to the extreme… went after the creators (two Dallas moms who were teachers). So, it predates Vee Corp’s questionable design choice… it got worse as Barney became mainstream. For some reason people (still) have a problem with a dinosaur being purple, friendly, and teaching kids love, respect, good manners and other important lessons.

My hatred of Barney stemmed from having a talking doll of him that i swear to god was possessed! It would just start talking in the other room even though it was turned off and appeared in rooms we swear we didn't put it in. That little purple prick even woke me up in the middle of the night from across my bedroom. Luckily it never said anything that wasn't supposed to be in its programmed repertoire but it still freaked us out so bad we burned it. good times 😏

OH yeah, i was not a barney kid when i was little (i tolerated the show, but only recall watching it at a very young age, and there was other shows that i was much more obsessed with at that age) but i remember back in grade 2 or 4 recognising the tune used for "i love you you love me" in a name that tune type thing in an afterschool program i took in elementary as, well, "i love you you love me" and they assumed that i WAS a barney kid based on that and the fact that i was wearing a purple shirt at the time. Also barney hate has pretty much existed for as long as barney itself have existed, If i had a nickle for every time an Edgy grade 4 kids in the playground would sing "i hate you, you hate me, lets team up and kill barney" l'd probably be rich lol. Also while i dont think i have heard the cursed on live television rumour, i do recall hearing a rumour about a dude that was in the barney suit getting arrested for stashing drugs in the tail although i have no idea if its true or not (probably not)

@@kirbysuperstaruhh3769 even Mulder made a joke about it in the 1st season of The X Files. That was all the way back in the 90s

At least you had elementary school. The only time when I didn't hear any Barney bashing was when I was with my family

I only remember the trailers at the end some other vhs tapes and suddenly Barney went from annoying but harmless to genuinely disturbing.

@@RikoJAmadoI had a Barney theme birthday party when I was 2 years old in 97 I was at my grandparents house I didn’t know I was being filmed I had Barney in Concert VHS Barney was my favorite tv show back then

Hi, I'd like to say that I really enjoy your content. Compared to Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers, it's much harder to find out about the history of Barney. Thank you for giving me a chance to learn about a character that was so fundamental to my early childhood.

Hedge!!!!

😊

agree

Well 2 of the kids were demi lavato and Selena Gomez so we know what they are up to now and days lol

David Voss and David Joyner are perfect examples of costume performers and bob west and duncan Brennan are perfect examples of voice actors.

Fun fact, two of Barney's VA's worked for Chuck E. Cheese's. Bob West was Jasper and Pasqually, with Duncan Brannan playing Chuck E. himself

@@lukeroberts3464 I can't argue with you there although I personally only grew up with Bob West and David Joyner as Barney

@@alexdionisos I know pretty cool isn't it?

@@alexdionisos I have Duncan on Facebook and he sure is both barney and Chuck E. Cheese and another fun fact he also played Chuck E. Cheese and barney and he also has a RU-vid channel too.

Here is the very first costume i think ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KjT2BACn3-0.html

That 2010 barney....it looks like they where trying to base it off REAL dinosaurs....but uh someone got ahold of the fun powder and made that monstrosity

Agree.

I Agree too. My Favourite is Captain Feathersword ❤️💛💜💙😄👍🏻. I met him in 2015 along with the other New Generation Wiggles and he is a really nice SMILO guy ❤️💛💜💙 I really know a lot about Paul Paddick(Captain Feathersword) and the other wiggles!!!

@@smilosmilo1232 and even better my uncle Richard he actually gotta chance to meet the og voice actor for barney and friends and that’s bob west and I got duncan Brennan on Facebook and I got drake and Tina Jessica and Rickey l carter from Facebook and I got the people from barney and hopefully 🙏 they are ready for new info for peacock 🦚 streaming device for new barney documentary in 2022.

@@smilosmilo1232 of course I 100 💯 percent agree with you for sure.

Science teacher at a museum here. Can confirm. :)

@@FantasiaTC I went to the ROM and well I know this isn't related to the video buuuut it's a funny story. So I was young and in grade 9ish on a trip...with My class and we went to the mythology part of the museum and the lady was talking about Zeus....and straight up called him I kid you not a "man whore" and I died. Laughing. Than I cried. Because it's true...

@@Silver_wind_1987_ I think I may know which teacher that was!

Pointing and laughing at how weird, clunky, and badly chroma-keyed the first suit was is okay, right?

He put all the sing-a-longs on youtube

Ya but I was hoping he would actually talk about them.

@@celinahaas5868 oh yeah I would like that

😂
