The Barney clip from Macy's 1997 posted on my Facebook feed for like a week now, which led me to Rudolph's untimely end. Now the rabbit hole had led me here. 😂 Happy 2024!
Now that a parsde. Barney getting killed, Spiderman drinking too much and passing out, a horney rabbit humping the street, a headless a snowman, an angry Sonic, Uncle Sam tripping, and Garfield high. Only in NY !!!
With how cold and windy the days these parades are, it's a miracle the balloons are able to stay afloat unscathed. 1993 and 1997 were particularly brutal.
It's always obnoxious that the city NEVER trims the trees around the stupid parade route. They've been doing this for years and can't ever seem to get their heads outta their asses and trim the trees so they're less likely to pop a balloon and cause a problem let alone an accident. They could always add something to the lamp posts so they don't hurt the balloons but NYC just sucks
Did some one forget cat in the hat he was rip to shreds to put a lady in the hospital in 1997 she was in coma and then sued New York that’s why they don’t have balloons if it’s two windy now
This video was supposed to be more lighthearted, and I didnt want to include footage that was too graphic. I will include Cat in the hat and M&Ms in this years video
Accidents you missed: Pink Panther’s accident (1995), Red and Yellow M&Ms’s accident (2005), Bart’s Accident (1993), The Cat In The Hat’s accident (1997) and Kermit’s Accidents (1985 and 1991).
You forgot these 3 Mickey errors: 1979: Mickey balloon barely moving 1982: Mickey balloon out of control 1983: Mickey balloon literally pops before it's arrival into lots of pieces literally together
In 1997!? That's crazy that you were one of the ones holding him when that happened! How was the experience? I heard they were hard to control that day, and they were very heavy.
Yes it was very windy that day,it was before they tethered the baloons to small john deere tractors we were fighting the wind till he went down but still so glad I got be in the Thanksgiving day parade & it wasnt my first will always have incredible memories of them MERRY CHRISTMAS@@brdrech
They used to. Back in the early days of the parade, they'd just let the balloons loose at the end, and if you found one later and returned it to Macy's, you'd get a cash prize. Then the balloons started crashing into airplanes and killing people and someone was like "Y'know, maybe we should stop doing this."
The balloon sponsors pay around 10,000 USD every year that the balloon is in the parade. I think its Macy's themselves that spend the money to repair the balloons that get damaged.
