Ashens had to be removed from the museum after trying to burn the toys with his blowtorch

@housr 6 лет назад

😂😂

@klynk5107 6 лет назад

Thought that said he tried to bum the toys

@ThumpertTheFascistCottontail 6 лет назад

.... and attempting to eat the three thousand year old toy.

@Castodas 6 лет назад

You all make him sound like he's lost his marbles... Unless, do you think he tried burning those too?

@a.samism 6 лет назад

Brilliant

@alexc1485 6 лет назад

I know this is just an ad but I could genuinely get on board with more of this type of informative/documentary style video, Ashens really suits it! Not that I would ever want the normal content to end of course

@Zepplinite 6 лет назад

A series of Stuart visiting odd museums needs to be a thing.

@randywatson8347 6 лет назад

So weird seeying Ashens in a suit cosplaying an adult lol.

@TheMonstermandude 6 лет назад

Synthusiast how do? He’s in a suit in the beginning of every video.

@RageQuitGirlOfficial 6 лет назад

Cosplaying as an adult! I love that! I usually say I'm pretending to be an adult, despite actually being 23.

@Fnorgh 6 лет назад

While he used to wear the black suit and red tie from his logo every time he appeared on camera in his early videos, these days I'm used to just seeing him in the light blue Barshens shirt.

@TewdPlays 6 лет назад

Im not sure I've ever seen him without a suit? Even in his logo he has a suit on.

@Offensive_Username 6 лет назад

Synthusiast, did you actually laugh out loud after writing that grammatically wrong comment?

@gilgammesh1 6 лет назад

An excellent tour.

@RSwizard101vids 6 лет назад

An excellent comment 😃

@smb-c3po 6 лет назад

An excellent Chef Peepee.

@harryemmott8597 6 лет назад

I wonder how many people on RU-vid are called Chef Excellence...

@gilgammesh1 6 лет назад

One too many i daresay.

@smb-c3po 6 лет назад

+Chef Excellence How many Chef Pee Pee accounts are there? Just imagine what your life would be like if you worked for Bowser. And had to do whatever his spoiled bratty son told you.

@DominoMiahGames 6 лет назад

We laugh at toys of the past now, but just imagine how freaked out our descendants will be when the see Bratz dolls.

@javierrico1996 6 лет назад

Domino Miah Games They'd probably die of a fear-induced heart attack if they saw *these.*

@FiorinaArtworks 6 лет назад

oh god, those are abominations... If we're lucky, the paint will rub off with time and they'll just turn into the Tree Change dolls xD

@burlz 6 лет назад

The Gary Busey Aunt May figure deserves its own glass case in that museum!

@CursedShrine 6 лет назад

I love his sofa, but I would totally watch a TV series like this if Ashens was the presenter.

@chriscryer7087 6 лет назад

Suddenly I feel like Stuart would make an amazing TV presenter

@maxscardanelli6185 6 лет назад

Chris Cryer He used to be on the BBC. Search “Ashens tech dump”.

@Clay3613 6 лет назад

Ashen's should be a proper TV host.

@luketfer 6 лет назад

He has done TV stuff in the past, mostly for Channel 4 if I remember correctly and it was only shorts but he has done some actual TV stuff. Still I would love a show based on his books where he talks to developers and the like of the old school 1980s computer games.

@artmadaofficialyoutube 6 лет назад

luketfer I would watch that series. I enjoy watching Ashens present things other than dollar store crap and ancient food items.

@Clay3613 6 лет назад

Yeah it's just charity stuff or that online BBC series he had for awhile.

@ssj2matt 6 лет назад

Was thinking this myself. He should audition to the BBC or whatever.

@BrawnyBuddha 6 лет назад

He'd host like a Top Gear-style show about weird knick knacks and geeky things. HEY That should be the title: Weird Knick-Knacks and Geeky Things.

@CLaw-tb5gg 6 лет назад

I always feel disorientated when I'm forced to realise how famous Stuart actually is.

@RageQuitGirlOfficial 6 лет назад

Ye same, I've been here for about 9yrs so I still think of him as young Dr Stuart Ashen with only a few thousand subs! When I see him doing bigger things I feel proud of how much he's grown :D

@CLaw-tb5gg 6 лет назад

He'll always be our Stuart, reviewing shitty plastic pirates from Poundland on a nasty 80s sofa.

@ken131 6 лет назад

But he still deserves to be famouser

@Enbious 6 лет назад

How many Dan's does Ashens know? NerdCubed, Cousin Dan, the Dan in the "10 Reviews in 10 Minutes" videos, and now this Dan?! IT'S DANPOCALYPSE!!!

@superspacehero 6 лет назад

What many fail to realize is that there is, in actuality, only one Dan - have you ever seen two Dans in the same room?

@BigGrimaceFan 6 лет назад

I personally would love more videos like this with the historical vibe

@RoyHess666 6 лет назад

How can people dislike this video? Seriously, whats wrong in your boring life? I absolutely like this video, the script, camera script and movement, the music. So professional. So Ashens!

@scottcowan7343 6 лет назад

Love the filming on this. You should really do your own documentary one day.

@Fnorgh 6 лет назад

Yeah, it feels like a clip from some BBC documentary. How does the Beeb pick who gets to host those things? Somebody slip Stuart's name into the Goblet of Fire, please.

@kaaaallll 6 лет назад

TAT - A documentary by Stuart Ashen

@YokiDokiPanic 6 лет назад

IQ is thicc Yes. Perfect. Make it happen. I would pay good money to see it.

@HistoryHit 6 лет назад

This is a VERY good idea...

@Insertdiskgames 6 лет назад

There needs to be a part 2 to this episode where you repay the favour by giving Dan Snow a tour of the local Poundland.

@woolenhat5796 6 лет назад

How many Dans do you know....i mean really stuart. How many?

@thomasjenkins7506 6 лет назад

all of them.

@lily91109 6 лет назад

At least three.

@OdaSwifteye 6 лет назад

Temoprary Permanent More like four or five

@alexe8375 6 лет назад

This one, Hardcastle, Tomlinson, Howell (at least casually), and probably more.

@loganjorgensen 6 лет назад

I can just imagine if you had a time machine. "These toys are creepy and scary." and the craftsman "I worked really hard on that.". :(

@Larry 6 лет назад

Ooh, trading standards wouldn't let that Egyptian doll out nowadays, some kid would have their eye out with that neck spike! :D

@rossvegas7 6 лет назад

Larry Bundy Jr it had a head on it originally

@suitedpenguins4640 6 лет назад

rossvegas7 its a joke, dont take it so literally. But i do wonder how the head looked, did it have hair? Was it a 3D head or flat? Was everything painted on? We may sadly never know.

@drwhoscumrag 6 лет назад

I read this with your accent.

@Anex952 6 лет назад

Larry Bundy Jr it's funny but it's true

@DoctorBastard 6 лет назад

It'd be all over the front page of the daily mail. BAN THESE KILLER TOYS! They'd cry.

@GeorgiaGeorgette 6 лет назад

PLEASE do more of this sort of thing, it's brilliant! I love your usual stuff but this is such a nice addition.

@HighTen_Melanie 6 лет назад

This should be on mainstream tv.

@burlz 6 лет назад

“An excellent advert”

@carmel4378 6 лет назад

This was wonderful! I cannot think of anyone who would do a better job at searching for historical silliness.The BBC are missing out, this should be an amazing series!

@ChaseFace 6 лет назад

"And yet they survive." Ashens is so smooth with his segues. I would have just said "Uh, cool! Alright, thanks for watching!"

@Dan-mw1le 6 лет назад

History and Ashens, two of my damn favorite things. Words cannot describe my immense confusion and joy.

@JustinY. 6 лет назад

So when are you gonna eat them

@aa-mx9yp 6 лет назад

you need to get out more

@joemontgomery6658 6 лет назад

Another one?

@timothyhilditch 6 лет назад

This guy uses like bots

@adryelyel1794 6 лет назад

Timothy Hilditch Most definitely.

@CybermanBill 6 лет назад

Justin Y. ???? Eat what????? (What am I missing?..... or is this person just one of those morons who think they are so smart and being so witty?) 🤖🤓

@MelissaAndersonTheFutureLegend 6 лет назад

When is BBC / ITV going to give Stuart his own show ? I can watch him all day !

@Yarumasi 6 лет назад

This was cool - I hope you do more, and longer ones at that! I could have watched well over an hour of you guys just chatting around these strange things. Well, everyone's strapped for time I guess.

@ObiMace 6 лет назад

I love this. So proper, so professional, so good. As an outsider, or someone who still thinks RU-vid is for 10 minutes of cat videos, you wouldn't guess to find this on the same channel as _burning tiny toys on a couch_ . And that is the beauty of *ashens* .

@Colormebadd17 6 лет назад

It's weird knowing you're more than a pair of hands

@twocvbloke 6 лет назад

How did you tear Dan away from doing 20 documentaries a day for the BBC? He never seems to be not on the telly doing a documentary!! :P

@Happy_Shopper 6 лет назад

twocvbloke not wrong

@AliLightfoot 6 лет назад

You know they're not live, right?

@Happy_Shopper 6 лет назад

Yes obviously

@FuzzelFoxGame 6 лет назад

I'd actually love to see a full hour long special like this, it's very well produced.

@neo_corgski4618 6 лет назад

Wow now that's production value

@MaliceLaStrange 6 лет назад

Such a super neat and different video from you. I realize its supposed to be an advert at the end but it was just a nice change and makes me realize i probably would have loved your channel no matter what it was about

@adamhooper2476 6 лет назад

Cool it's Dan Snow. Love his documentaries aswell as his father's.

@Urahara08 6 лет назад

More of these please! Really love Ashens out on the town

@Anon-.- 6 лет назад

Lenci dolls look like they came straight out of the shinning. "Come and play with us"

@samvimes9510 6 лет назад

I really hope you do more videos like this. All those videos you did at that technology center were fascinating, and this was pretty great too.

@unfazed37 6 лет назад

Underrated video, your effert is showed in this video, good job keep it up!

@joannegray5138 6 лет назад

Wow - THE Dan Snow. Great video - I'll have to check out the museum the next time I visit London.

@samuelcunningham3099 6 лет назад

I grew up going into that museum. Havnt been there in years. Brought back memories of being freaked out and interested in some of the toys.

@lisaking1021 6 лет назад

Love this ad, I'm sold. I want to visit the museum, I'm off to the website. You host a show in this style really well. They couldn't have picked a better person for the promotion

@paulnash9851 6 лет назад

Thanks Ashens sir, this video was a nice little treat. You are a scholar and a gentleman.

@nobel11 6 лет назад

An Excellent Advertisement. Seriously, well done.

@herbertorendorff6323 6 лет назад

Awesome video ashens

@rebeccah3091 6 лет назад

I don't care if this is an ad I want to watch more

@QueenAwesomenes 6 лет назад

Rebecca Hanley especially since its an ad for something actually real cool and not just like a brand of razors or something. I love this!

@SpeedDemonStar 6 лет назад

It's Ashens, they'd probably have him selling toilet paper or blowtorches. (Honestly, I could realistically see him doing a sponsored brand deal with a blowtorch company.)

@AlexanderRenard 6 лет назад

He could team up with The Boring Company for their not-flamethrowers.

@gabrielle5847 6 лет назад

Ashens has the best narrating voice.

@YourTypicalMental 6 лет назад

Whenever I watch one of these big, milestone ashens video comes out I am reminded of the first time I watch his first pop station review all those years ago.

@GodotOfficial 6 лет назад

I miss your sofa

@sillyfella2009 6 лет назад

Godot me too

@sebastiancurelea2035 6 лет назад

Godot yeah, same.

@dominopicamation5836 6 лет назад

Maybe one day it will be in a museum

@Lapinporokoira 6 лет назад

Ashen should bring the sofa on his next adventure

@kiruppert 6 лет назад

It missed you too. It waited a long time for you, but you never showed up.

@alexander1995ah 6 лет назад

Two of my favourite people in one video.

@4looming 6 лет назад

Omg I love this format! I'd to see more like this, Ashens fits the role of docu host very well.

@DokkaChapman 6 лет назад

Did anyone else see folks running around inside as they left the museum?.... I think Ashens may have set fire to something.

@VillaFanDan92 6 лет назад

Ashens is only one point removed from an appearance on The One Show now.

@mrflibble1259 6 лет назад

I can fully imagine this on an episode of the one show. I'm half expecting an overly energetic segway from Chris evens at the end

@edbadyt 6 лет назад

I thought the exact same thing. I'm not overly keen on the one show but, when trying to be mainstream, his cheesy presenting style would lend its's self perfectly to it and it would be a good thing for both him, and the show.

@spookyghost7524 6 лет назад

that would be a step down for him

@OtseisRagnarok 6 лет назад

Honestly, it's always kind of nice to see Stewart outside of his house.

@WeatherInOrlando 6 лет назад

This video needed to be at least 20 minutes longer. Loved it!

@GroxXx777 6 лет назад

It was kind of surreal to see this kind of professional filming and editing in an Ashens. While I have no problem with the regular brown couch videos, I welcome more of these kind of videos too, even if they are ads.

@cooleyeking7779 6 лет назад

can't wait to see pop stations in this museum in like 50 years

@okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 6 лет назад

this is exactly my kind of niche, thanks for letting me know a museum like this exists!

@TheMonstermandude 6 лет назад

I’m glad you’re moving on to something different than RU-vid. Really want to see your content survive after this site eventually ends.

@TheMonstermandude 6 лет назад

Not anymore. They're deleting their library in a digital book burning.

@zirconium2014 6 лет назад

i absolutely loved this. felt like real tv even. brilliant

@turniphead986 6 лет назад

Seriously... Ashens for Toy Hunter UK spinoff, dangit! Why is this not a thing yet?

@Markusewitz 6 лет назад

That's a great idea :-) !

@vdochev 6 лет назад

Great and interesting toys! I would be very happy if I could visit this museum.

@TheClosetNinja 6 лет назад

Really enjoyed this more serious/informative format. I hope there are more of these in the future; great work!

@marthapozo4881 6 лет назад

Loved it Stu! A series like this with you presenting it would be awesome!

@TheRenoReviews 6 лет назад

That’s bloody Dan Snow off the telly!!

@ElMoppo1 6 лет назад

I kept thinking he was familiar. :o

@spiritofthetime 6 лет назад

Sharp suit, Stuart. Always wondered what the Museum of Childhood exhibited, looks well worth a visit. Thanks!

@nerdofgod4167 6 лет назад

Ashens could be a television host of all things weird.

@jsb8261 6 лет назад

Brilliant video. More to come, hopefully.

@vickimew7366 6 лет назад

I LOVED this museum when I visited. It's out of the way a bit but really, really worth it. If you're in London check it out :) it only takes a couple of hours to go round and is very good.

@OfficialChrissums 6 лет назад

fun video. I like when stuart turns on his professional mode

@MuensterQ 6 лет назад

“He looks like a clown escaping from a burning circus” amazing

@laneatkinson6441 6 лет назад

You should have your own TV show! This video was simply fantastic!!! 💖

@MRRED-nm7vt 6 лет назад

I use to go to this place! well mostly for drawing classes but the funny thing is i didn't draw any of the toys, ever... But I did walk around and enjoyed looking at them.

@dinorap1 6 лет назад

This is great I was not expecting this to be so well-made! Very nicely done

@HillierHugh 2 года назад

I love both ashen and snow this is a match made in heaven

@1revjay 6 лет назад

This video wasn't long enough.

@FiorinaArtworks 6 лет назад

When your viewers wish your ads were longer, you're know you're doing it right.

@n0isyturtle 6 лет назад

A most enjoyable field trip.

@Nanonic001 6 лет назад

Now go do the same at the Pitt Rivers museum in Oxford, you'll love it for its batshit insanery!

@evilhairyrat1235 6 лет назад

Stuart knows a lot on Dans...

@mongooseonaunicycle2056 6 лет назад

Next I want ashens and dan snow to tour Poundland

@TheOriginalFaker 6 лет назад

I like this video. I like that it is advertised. Not by some faceless organisation like Ubisoft or Pepsi. But by an actual company that promotes actual learning. Good job Stuart

@underbutlers 6 лет назад

This was genuinely useful, as i'm working on the outline for a dissertation on the history of toys. Very nice

@kimsleep4111 6 лет назад

Actually really great music in this video, quite appropriate

@davidcoghill8612 6 лет назад

I would happily watch a video which was just 10 whole minutes of Ashens walking into different buildings.

@DigitalImpostor 6 лет назад

Oh nice, it's my favourite documentarian. And Dan Snow also showed up.

@Defensive_Wounds 6 лет назад

Loved the Katamari-esque music at the end Ashens!!!

@P747 6 лет назад

Bit and bobs, gubbins, mingle-mangle, mishmash...the english language (UK) is so great sometimes. ^^

@sekirk 6 лет назад

I really enjoyed this departure from the sofa! I’d like to see more of you looking at old curio’s since you’re knowledgable about things usually. I think it works quite well. Though perhaps less regimented feeling format and so short (tho I understand that’s hard when it’s an ad and a real museum)

@Dellaluna13 6 лет назад
