LIVE! Top 10 Toys That Almost Killed Me | JEFF DUNHAM 

My friends down the street had a set of Jarts. We were playing with them in the front yard when their father came home from work. He stepped out of his car and said , “Let me show you how to throw that thing.” He threw it way high in the air. It came down, piercing his Plymouth Barracuda. Last time we saw those Jarts

I would like thank you and all the other "grown-up" kids that share their childhoods and toys with the rest of us "kids" that were part of that special time in life. The 60's and 70's will never be repeated in spirit or substance. It was great being a kid during that period.

Jeff will never get old!!!😂🤣

love it...growing up during the 60's and 70's was so much fun...

I'm just happy to know that someone had a great childhood. All I hear about is how bad things were, and how abused children were. This gives me hope that parents can raise their children to be excellent adults. I absolutely love your humor. PS. I had a "Baby Alive" when I was six. I could feed it and then change its diaper.

The golden of age of toys.... when toys taught boys and girls to become adults.

this was back when parents actually gave parental guidence along with common sense,and the phone book wasn,t full of attorneys,,great times

Thanks for the memories Jeff! Have to call my therapist now due to the nightmares I will have tonight...lol

We are different today than yesterday which means to me that we live in more fear for our safety. When I was 9, my father began teaching me electronics. One of the essential lessons was how to ground out a high voltage capacitor so you would not kill yourself when working on a television. I later became a navigator in USAF air refueling tankers....another thing dangerous to your health.

Back when toys we're the real deal. Danger was just a part of the fun! Just turned 60.

I'm a 2000's kid, and there is NO way our parents would let us have any of those toys. Jeff grew up right.

Thanks Jeff :) I had the wood burner, an Erector set and train that had high voltage ac/dc transformers, the BB gun and many other toy guns that would scare the crap out of the average passerby these days. But, we also had the Jarts! We played with them every summer with adult supervision... TBH, my dad was pretty hard to beat! Never had a single accident because we followed one simple safety rule, everyone stands on the same side! But, then we had real iron horseshoes as well... clank! Ringer! My bike was the candy apple red Schwinn Stingray with the ape hanger bars and the banana seat. We all thought we were Evel Knievel :) We set up ramps with cinder blocks and plywood to see who could jump the farthest. My earliest vehicle was the Mattel Big Wheel. I think I got a new one like every 6 months or so because we insisted on doing things like racing down the hill out front and doing 360 burn outs and riding down flights of concrete steps. You didn't mention click clacks either. Mine were plastic but the originals were made of glass! "You'll put your eye out!" Yeah, we heard that too. But, with all the Lincoln Logs, Lego blocks and other stuff, my favorite toys were always my ever growing platoon of GI Joe action figures

I am from the same era as you Jeff. How did we survive? Those were the days when kids and parents had common sense. We grew up in a much less litigous time. Now, people are suing for burning their crotch with hot coffee and playing the lawsuit lottery. So sad. Seeing those toys was a great walk down memory lane! Thank you for sharing Jeff!

I remember the lawn darts. My son couldn’t believe his grandparents let his Mom & Aunt play with these!

Those are really nice toys. Never had anything as nice as those, they were way to expensive. We really should bring back toys that teach practical skills. Exposing young minds to mechanical, electrical, chemistry, etc... would help their young brains grasp concepts at a much younger age. Not only would it teach them things it would be a fun way of doing so.

Seeing those Peaches crates behind you brings back a lot of good memories from my teen years!

Jeff is so cute showing these toys. I was a kid in the 60's and it's sooo sad the way the world has turned I wish kids today COULD just be kids

Late 70's,early 80's ish, all the boys toys were much better than girls toys so I got the neighbor kid to show me how his Estes rockets worked. I went out and bought some of the big engines, Ds if memory serves. I cut a hole in the back of my Barbie "Dream Vette" put a piece of PVC tubing in said hole. I then put the rocket engine in the PVC tubing. I now had a Barbie "Dream Rocket". First time we fired it off it spun in circles. We lined everything up a little better & made a wooden "launch pad" to get it going straight. Second try!! That thing shot down my driveway, hit the gutter, took flight, shot across the street & caught the neighbors shrubs on fire.

How did I manage to miss this one. I guess my mind is focussed on those amazing puppets and I let this slip by me. RU-vid is so youth-oriented that it is a rare occasion that I actually get to enjoy people playing with the toys from my day. I had an amazing time and I can't wait to go and search for any of the other toy videos that I've missed Jeff. Thank you so much for loving your toys enough to keep them in this amazing condition so you can share them with us. Big hugs.

Thank you Mr Jeff for making us all laugh when we needed it the most you are loved all over ♥️

I love this video Jeff, I grew up in the late 50's and 60's and remember having a lot of those FUN harmless toys. My chemistry set back then would have placed me on a terror watch list today XD

Can't believe you left out the "klackers". Lol

Ahh! The chemistry sets! I remember my friend and I making a flame thrower with one!

As an 8 year old, my dad always made sure I was with him whenever he was working around the house, so that I would learn all the basic skills. So before I even had shop class in 4th grade, he had me using saws and hammers (real size). Then he also taught me how to sweat joints with solder and a butane torch.... at 8 years old. Toys? never had a problem with all these toys that Jeff had on this video. no injuries. But I did blow stuff up with my beginners chemistry set. We even played with Lawn Darts without killing ourselves.

great video...thanks for taking us down memory lane. if only the kids today could go back into time to appreciate how special the 60s and 70s were in regards to toys and music as well as so many othere things.

Remember the "clackers"? Two acrylic balls on the ends of a string with a loop in the middle, used for making noise? MANY broken bones and cranial divots caused by those! Wish I still had one...

I also love toys from childhood. These toys you are showing us are AWSOME.

I grew up playing with my dad's set of jarts 40 years after he played with them, it's that same set. I didn't realize they were illegal in so many places, lol.

I love to see this personal part of your life, it’s so cool! I’m a big fan Jeff 👍 God bless you and your family.

In school when you came back from Christmas holiday, you knew that the kid with the most band-aides had gotten the best toys.

This is making me nostalgic. I'm a 70s kid and remember these toys fondly. Played with lawn darts in the street because we were City kids, had the wood burning kit, launching Rockets, buying throwing stars and throwing knives as 10 year old. Made bazooka tennis ball launcher out of Soup cans and lighter fluid as the ignition. Had Rock battles, climbed up on the rec center roofs to retrieve lost balls, rode our bikes over rickety ramps made with a warped board and some bricks, I bought a steering wheel for my bicycle from Pepboys Kama also rode the bike like it was a surfboard, rope swings over shallow creeks. No helmets or knee pads it was a good time. I don't think today's kids would survive

Thanks for the memories Jeff !!! I’m turning 70 in a few weeks, and i really love you comedy V shows , but this , The Best !!! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍

I had most of those: the wood burning set, verti bird, cox gas airplanes, sonic blaster, the M16, BB guns , jarts and I've made it all the way to 63 so far. The 60's !!What a time to be a kid!!

I love how Jeff once in a while lets his inner Sicko out: "You could brand your sister wiith it!" . :D

I remember these toys! Dangerous yes but fun! Brings back good memories Jeff and Matt! Thank you! In 1966 I was 10

I remember those toys from growing up in the 1960's toys and 1970's toys. I graduated in 1980. Working for 35+ years as a radiation safety professional, I was surprised to see toys with real radioactive materials. We had a thing maker. 451 degrees F will burn paper. We rode bicycles without hands on the handlebars. We ran with scissors, we played with electric toys that plugged into the wall socket. I had a workbench just like that! So cool! We also had Mattel Vertibirds! We never did Estes rockets but we had several >10 Cox gas airplanes. You would fly them on a control strings, and spin around until it ran out of Nitromethane fuel. Then you would be so dizzy you might puke! LOL I recognized Curt Russell! We also had that little hot plate to make Creepy Crawlers. Thanks Jeff for the memories!

I'm a 70's child. Pain and anguish was a part of play. Good times. Oh, man. You brought back some good memories! Jeff, I had no idea that you were my age. What's your secret ?

Jeff Dunham. I remember the old toys you were showing us on you tube. Isn't it funny how tough we were as kids? And now that were grown Up looking back made me smile.

LoL the worker jumped 😂😂😂😂 Jeff said ok I’ll play with myself.......probably not the first time his wife has heard that!

The joy is strong with this one. We had cap grenades in the 50s and jungle jims built on blacktop asphalt. What a pleasure it was watching this, thanks for keeping those memories alive.

The rocket set brings back memories. I was active duty Navy, stationed in Virginia. This was in the late 1980’s. I had gotten these rockets for my sons. We built them, but we couldn’t launch from the yard, too many trees. We went onto the Navy Base and thought the huge field in front of the Admiral’s Office was a good place to set these things off. 1. The base is close to the runways for either the local airport or the naval air base, I’m not sure which. Either way, too close to aircraft. 2. Rockets, not from the Department of Defense, being launched near some admirals command and control office, nit a good idea After we launched, retrieved and launched again, we had visitors, from base security, NCIS, VA state police and supposedly, the FAA who was, arson supposedly p, reaching out to the FBI. My youngest son, aged 5 at the time, actually thought he was going to federal prison for life. After a few people looked at these kits, one guy, the one in a suit, confiscated my sons toys, and told us to never ever launch these devices near a military installation. A week later, we were told never to launch these rockets at Mt. Trashmore, the old landfill in Virginia Beach. Yes, we got new kits and set them off again. I can now understand why they didn’t want us launching at Mount Trashmore. They had the vent tubes sticking out of the ground, to vent off the methane. Live and learn. Nobody affiliated with our launches ever died, and no animals were harmed.

Participation trophy for kids of the 70's - scars

Creepy Crawlers! Loved the smell of the wood burning. Brothers had a chemistry set.

There's an endearing combination of "older guy unsure how technology works" and "kid having the time of his life" here.

1970's people: AW the kids are outside playing with their toy guns. 2017 people: Hello 911 I see kids running around with guns in my neighbors yard shooting at each other.

Best line of the whole thing, "It only takes a second to die."

Ahh, the good old days...Thanks for the memories 🎶

Jeff, I can’t even count the number of blisters I got off my wood burning set! Just the slightest slip and YEEEEEEOUCH! Man that sucker hurt!!

How are you still alive!!!!! Oh yeah, our parents knew that if we hurt ourselves we would learn not to do that!

I had the wood burning tool around 6yrs old, I remember I loved the smell of the burnt wood.

Love this! I was born in '68, so I remember almost all of these. Some I wanted, but was "too little" to have (like the "Virdybird") but older neighbor kids had them. One I thought for sure would be in the list somewhere was the Chemistry set. Seeing the Estes model rocket kit brought back memories. When I was probably 14, my dad and I got into model rocketry. When you showed the launch pad and all reminded me of the time, we'd gone out launching rockets. We'd just gotten one of the bigger ones (used probably a "C" engine) ready to go on the launch pad. Just as we get back, and put the key in the launcher, the Sheriff's Helicopter flys in. I'm not sure if they'd gotten calls, or if they were just looking to see what we were doing, but I kid you not, there I am... 14 years old, I've got the launcher in my hand, key in, light lit... and the Sheriff's helicopter is LITERALLY directly overtop of the launcher. Now, as the old saying goes, "Mama didn't raise no dummies" so NO, I didn't do anything. We just sat there and waited a minute or so, and they flew off, but as it was hovering there, I looked at my dad, and he looked at me... just realizing that we were just the push of a button away from sticking a model rocket in the bottom of an aircraft. How many kids can make that claim? 🙂

Not boring at all! Slovene this, Jeff! Thank you for letting us all be a part of this with you!

We had the bug station where you made bugs in that heated oven thing. We had an electronic set where you could make radio and other stuff. Dad had to have the gas-powered jeep (GI Joe fit in the seat; thats when he was barbie sized) and we had race car sets. lmao I remember lawn darts! I remember in the 70's owning clackers and them being banned from school because they were dangerous.

We used to shoot Roman candles and bottle rockets at each other, lol!!

I had the same orange Varsity ten speed. I was the youngest of 3 brothers and always got the hand me downs. I finally saved my birthday and Christmas money from my Grandmother and bought my first brand new bicycle. We used to go on some serious rides around Orange County. We'd go from Tustin down the Santa Ana river trail to Newport Beach take the ferry across the bay, ride out to Irvine then back into Tustin again. I think we figured it out to be 60 some miles. Thanks Jeff for bringing back some happy childhood memories!

I had the whirly bird toy, too, but mine was part of a Styrofoam ship with a heliport on its stern. I'm halfway through the video and I just KNOW the #1 dangerous toy is Jarts. I still have my old set; even played with them last summer with my family! I should take a picture of the scar on my arm that Ray Stanko gave me when I was 5. He yelled, "Watch out!" and threw it at me. He was probably 9, which explains a lot. I love the comment about blisters being our trophies! My sisters and I received plenty from our Creepy Crawler cooker!

Awesome, made me realise how much I learned as a kid by hurting myself !

"I turned out fine!" Jeff. You play with dolls for a living.

oh, john what's that mark on ur... well that was when I was using the wonder pen. LOL

So many good memories Jeff, I was born in “81 but I remember similar toys. I think everyone had Jarts growing up. Love the Jack Daniel’s in the work bench too!

wood burning pens and soldering pens: if it smells like chicken, your holding it wrong.....

We had a set but they were called “lawn darts”. We would throw them to each other and try to catch them. Still alive.

@11:20 "You can drill somebody's eye out and then a sander when you're done." That's just adding insult to injury, Jeff. Adding insult to life-changing, unalterable, devastating, eye injury.

Thank you for that trip down memory lane Jeff! Jarts was one of my favorites, along with the Estes rockets. My inner rocketeer grew to the more bigger and complex rockets from that kit. But the 2 things I remember most were my chemistry set and metal Erector set. Hell, the Saltpeter in the chemistry set was downright explosive and the erector set could cut you like a knife with those edges. But those 2 "toys", along with the rockets sparked my inner engineer between chemistry, mechanics, and space and I believe helped drive my passions later in life... were they dangerous? Sure. But they were educational. Not necessarily toys in my mind.

Looked back in my attic, and I found my old "Lead Soldier" molds I got as a Christmas present back in the early 60's when I was about 7 years old. Missing the green and yellow lead based paint, and the pot that would get hot enough to melt the lead. What could go wrong right?

I love how Jeff Dunham acts like a child while checking these toys out

Dan Akyrod and his incredible bag of broken glass. LOL

Another reason to love Jefafa? He tears the tags out of his shirts! lol xoxo

I freaking love your show Jeff keep up the good work.

toys like that taught kids the importance of survival of the fittest

I love watching you and your "Dolls" any time I can. Hope to see you in person at some point. Just wanted to say when we were kids, and I go back a "bit" before you, when we had toys like you are showing our parents actually acted like parents and taught us how to use them. We were smart enough to know if we did it wrong we would get hurt. I think kids today are highly underestimated.

I remember the wood burning set and it’s wonderful smell! I also remember Jarts. I think we gave them away to friends with a large family. Great fun!

At least it's educating, unlike fidget spinner or shit like that

"...I cooked it, and ate it, and didn't die."

Id have to say the chemistry set with the radioactive stuff. the martin seynour pencils with the uranium in their backside, and the lawn darts we threw at each other.

Hey Jeff, we had a set of Jarts when I was a kid.!!! We were always careful playing with them, but I'm still shocked that none of us (or the dogs) ever got hit with one of those deadly Jarts. My brother DID break the dining room window once, when he lost his grip on one of his throws. It was a rather large picture window, and Mom and Dad were REALLY mad. My brother could hardly sit for a week after his punishment over that mistake. Those things were sort of heavy, all metal tips, and quite sharp. I'm surprised we all lived through childhood.

I was surprised that you didn't include the chemistry sets

I love Jeff's RU-vid energy!!! His happiness is kinda contagious.

I'm laughing as I'm remembering SNL Dan Akroyd and his BAG O'GLASS!!!

My favourite Christmas present from “Santa” was the Whirly Bird mounted on a styrofoam Coast Guard cutter. Thanks for the memory but where were the chemistry sets?

Both my 'M16 Maurader' and Zero-M Sonic air blaster broke not long into ownership. Hot Wheels had to be one of the greatest.

easy cooking rule "if you see smoke you know its done"~jeff

I'm always laughing about childhood memories. How in Hell are we still alive.

I still remember the smell of these and I actually miss it. Wow I used to love this sooo much. I was only 7 when I used it.

Jeff, I'm 53 and I still have my Hugo Man of a Thousand faces. Do you remember that ? I still have the same woodburning kit. I still have real original Clackers, made of glass and recalled them because the glass ball's would eventually explode and cut you up. I was a different kid, I kept stuff I really liked to this very day. My grandsons play with my real steel Tonka Trucks and Buddy L.😅 P.S. and despite all that dangerous stuff we survived. The snowflakes have no clue how fun a childhood was in the the 70's.

Just started watching, but "lawn darts" I think take the most dangerous toy.

As I suspected, Jeff Dun HAM is just a big kid at heart.

Wow! The last game brought back fond memories! My next-door neighbors had this game & I could watch them from my grandparent's LARGE plate glass window! It was fun to watch them throw, then walk to the hoop & they actually STUDIED their placements! Eventually, Jim would get is scorecard out, write down the numbers he created so they could keep studying their placements until they could get EVERY one in the hoop! Thank you for bringing back that memory!

Jeff, you are so genuinely in LOVE with life, thanks, I Love you ! ! !

Lawn darts need to make a comeback. Thin out the herd a bit.

I too grew up in the 1960s , I was 10 years old in 1967 , we had Toys that taught you things, we weren't wrapped in Bubble wrap, we got Cuts and Bruises, then we got back up and conquered what were trying to Accomplished..

WE HAD THAT DART GAME TOO. REMEMBER THE SLIP AND SLIDE? LOL

The smell of thing-maker goop cooking off - god, how I loved that odor...

When listening to this video and not watching it, I sometimes thought I heard Walter talking, sometimes Peanut. Once, when Jeff said "Really?" I thought Achmed was talking.

I still have those lawn darts and rings.. Nobody ever got injured, just tons of fun...

I remember that the jarts were dangerous because we stood at each circle (like horseshoes or today cornhole) and threw at each other. Great memories!

*Can You Say Indian Style* Me- I can say whatever I want.

LMAO......37:55 Opens the Jarts in front of an actual CANNON.....ok Jeff, insert Jart into the Cannon and fire.....we're waiting.

Original TONKA! Fall on one or get hit with one... stitches if your lucky thats all that happened. I was born in the late 70s, but our toys were dangerous too! A paint brush with the metal clip that sat between hairs and stick got stuck in my play desk my brother fell off the play desk sliced his entire cheek open... guess thats why they are plastic now. Btw... I love how down to earth Audry and Jeff is. 💙💚💛

Im glad you opened with the fright factory. I was thinking about the creepy crawler maker-its the same thing!
