Could you imagine being an archeologist 1000 years from now digging up the ruins of what used to be LA or something and inadvertantly finding a Furby, not knowing what it even is or what significance it had for the culture of the people who lived there a millennium ago. Then it lights up and starts speaking all of a sudden
Now you've gotten me thinking of that Original Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles," except the Enterprise is overrun with reproducing Furbys. OK, Hollywood, there's another movie idea! Coming to theaters and IMAX (do they still do that?) Halloween 2023...
but instead of being a.. " normal " working furby its broken and screams ' nomnomnom hungry WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH ' continuously over and over again in this deep voice. then when they stop it from saying that continuously, it begins to make an ear-splitting SHRIEK..before dying.
I’ve got a friend with the Garfield plushie, he tied it to something and apparently it untied itself so he crucified it, tied it to his bathroom wall, and put a cross necklace on it
I can see why that banana man is great. I mean he just sits there minding his own business doing his own thing. He doesn't sing, speak or fly at you. He respects you, your safety and the silence when needed. It's like he's too pure a toy to not get possessed by some evil spirit.
I remember having something like this…but an actual baby. It was called a Baby alive I think. You can actually feed it these powered food that you put in water to make it into apple sauce like thing. I don’t remember most of it since it was a long time ago. My mom said my Nana found it with ants DEAD AND SOME CRAWLING and the disgusting Pea food on its mouth. Probably better than a Furby but not the best toy either… Edit: thanks to someone who unlocked an unknown memory in my head The Diaper was also filled like Stewie (?) griffins Diaper in that one episode where Lois went to jail.
I had one as a kid and one of its limbs popped out, for some reason there were plastic tubes connecting all the body parts inside like a grimy digestive skeleton💀
i had a shelby, which was the more “rude and snobby friend” of furby. one time it threw itself off the table and told me “i’ve fallen and can’t get up!” little bastard. five stars.
Not factually correct but hilarious nonetheless, I have a Shelby myself (wanted one for years) and they're definitely more irritable than Furbies... They are, however, physically incapable of moving apart from simply lifting their shells up and down and moving their antennae, so I highly doubt the Shelby threw itself off the table?
@@BigyetiTechnologies putting this on my calendar. apparently i tend to put random shit like this on my calendar all the time, i have a reminder that says "new hiv outbreak" but i have literally no idea why i put it there or where i got it from. hopefully future me understands "furbpocalypse"
@@SoshJam i think it's a mix of the asexual and aromantic pride flags. the black, gray, and purple on top is ace and the two shades of green on the bottom is aro. i could be wrong tho.
I would just like to share that I watched this video with my mother, and I ended up owning a Banana Man the next day unexpectedly. Let me just inform you that the purchase was worth it for my mom, because this little guy is just the best and I can't get enough of him- In fact, we got a green one as well, who we call Banana Boy. 5 stars
I firmly believe that after Horror Stories started surfacing about furbies, manufacturers intentionally put little glitches and quirks into Furbies so that every now and then stories about possession and similar Horrors could continue to re-emerge.
I had 2 furby connects (still have them) and a few years ago I was looking for something under my bed. I heard some sort of talking and then saw that the furby box was glowing. I slowly opened it. and since the furby was afraid of the dark. it just screamed
I watched this video, paused at 5:16 and bought myself a banana man. It's arriving tomorrow, best purchase I EVER MADE!!!- I will update when he arrives :) UPDATE: HE'S ARRIVED!!!! This is the most magnificent creature I have ever laid eyes on, he gives great hugs, and I have been jumping up and down yelling banana man for the past half hour in my joy! 100/10 would recommend!!
Seeing as the "underterrainean" review is from Germany, I'm guessing they meant "unterirdisch schlecht", which roughly translates to "it's so bad, the niveau just sunk below the earth"
I have a Banana Man and I can confirm that he is fantastic. I made him a yellow Easter egg with his face drawn on it during Easter 😂 He was very pleased
I remember having one of those digital screen faced furbies. I spilt orange juice on it then it wouldn’t play music anymore. It’d just randomly sing while the display glitched. Also every night for a month at like 3 in the morning on the dot it’d start screaming “feed me” while shaking about on repeat until it fell off the shelf. This happened back in like 2016 and I have not bought a furby or any variant since
My little sister had her furby boom too when she was younger. She got it for Christmas one year and I immediately hated it as soon as she turned it on. For some reason I was the only one who could hear the screeching static sound coming from it and it drove me crazy for months. My little sister used to follow me around the house with it and torment me cuz she knew I didn't freaking like it. Time goes on and like for most kids she lost interest in the toy and it became part of the big pile of toys in the back of our closet. One night though at around 3:00 in the morning I woke up to the furby chatting to itself in the back of the closet. Tired and frustrated I got up out of my bed and into the closet and found the furby to take out its batteries and put it back. But when I open the back of the furby to take out the batteries, I saw there was no batteries in the furby in it started laughing at me and my light in my closet flickered. I quickly as I could through the furby as far as I could back into the closet and then ran out of the closet with the lights still on and barricaded the door and I could not sleep for the rest of the night. It kept laughing at me.
I remember when I was younger, I walked into the kitchen and my first would wake up randomly out of nowhere (it was on a table in the kitchen idk why) and it scared the fuck out of me and I SWEAR I jumped 6 feet that night. 5 seconds later the batteries were taken out of thing and we're never put back in again.
to be honest, Grandma's been upset since about 1948, when she flipped on the radio and heard Stan Kenton and his screaming trumpets playing _The Peanut Vendor._
As someone who has a furby collection and my mom sometimes likes to take all of them and put in batteries, then puts them in front of my door to wake me up, and then starts laughing manically as they all start screaming like they are being shaken because most of them are second hand… I can say, with full truth I love them to bits nothing could ever make me stop loving them
The closest I had to a furby was a robotic dog that would bark and walk. I called him fydo and I loved. He then shortly set on fire and started melting all the while barking. That might have been the turning point in my life.
I had something that sounds kinda similar but it was a horse. It would neigh and walk, and you could "feed" it with plastic apples. One day my sibling snapped its leg off for no reason (don't ask me _how_ because I wasn't in the room, just walked in and the leg was gone). Turned it on afterwards and all it would do was silently display sad eyes on its digital face. No neighing, no response from apple, no movement, just sadness.
I had a few of these and I remember I started carrying one of them with me everywhere (not to school but everywhere else) after my real dog died. It didn't even look like my real dog, which I actually had a stuffed replica of, I just got attached to this thing because it was "alive". This story is nightmare fuel.
I had a Furby Boom as a kid. For show-and-tell one day, I brought it in, and saw that its care was low, and immediately burst into tears of fear. I used to think that this was quite a silly response, but now I realise that it was a perfectly normal reaction for one who had displeased an almighty deity.
I remember when I was younger, I was at my friends house for a sleepover and he owned a Chewbacca Furby. I'd never seen a real furby before so I wanted to see how it worked so I turned it on. My friend turned to me and just said "What did you do?" before the furby started screeching until my friend's dad had to take the batteries out.
I remember having a brown one about 22 years ago, it never did any strange things, was normal, thankfully. Others, as shown here & with that first video, weren't so lucky.
@@hedwig7s Quite the low battery indicator, that is. Either way, pretty much every furby can be a fluffy ball of hellspawn. Cute one moment, nightmare fuel the next.
I had a furby once and it never did anything weird, kinda just slept all the time or stared at me and sometimes it would squawk at me if I touched it but that was all it ever did, my cousin has it now.
As someone who has previously owned a furby connect, I’d say mine was pretty normal. Emphasis on was. My parents always thought it a was strange little thing, but around 5-6 months after owning it, it’s voice started malfunctioning and it was sounding like some sort of horror doll; as it would say things like “AWOOdA!” And then start screaming. After a while, it was mid-sentence when its eyes turned black and died completely. No batteries was saving that. The worst part of all, it’s last sentence it said was: “I’m tired.” So now I don’t own a furby. Got scarred for life from it
I had a furby boom and it wouldnt turn off at night, so i took out the batteries to sleep. Apparently, they have an extra battery source, so all night it shouted, “I NEED BATTERIES”
My little brother and sister had a newer Furby (it was like 10 ago so it’s probably not this exact model), but it had digital eyes that let out this horrible super-high-pitched screech whenever they turned on. The kind of high pitch only people with sensitive hearing can hear. I was the only one who could hear the screech and no one understood why I hated it so much
that's because these models communicate with one another through this screech!! older furbies don't have that as they communicate through those black spots on their foreheads instead, and newest ones (connect), through bluetooth. i am also of quite sensitive hearing so i rarely turn on my 2012 furby (and also because i need to replace his motor but shhhh)
I think the reason they do the deep voice and fire eyes is actually for advertising. It might do that so that people who like horror but can’t afford old furbies (or can’t find any) can experience the furby experience x10. Also so that people like Matt can spread the world of their magnificent horrors.
I had one of these kind of furbies when I was 10. It also randomly turned into a crass man. It’s caused by feeding it too many fatty foods in the furby app. As described in my 2012 journal: “my furby turned trangener today, but went back”
I always thought furbies were cute and harmless when I was younger because I owned a furbling. They have about 6 sounds and only activate when you touch their head. Peaceful alternative to a furby if you really want one.
I used to have a furby, although it never really scared me that much I do remember a couple instances after watching these videos when the furby would go from its goofy and cheery personality to this really cranky and petty, almost bratty personality. It would also alert when the personality changed by flat out having a nervous breakdown, screaming and all that. I always thought it was because I always had the thing on and packed her around with me. Didn’t know it was demon incarnate, 😂
NOO I thought of the same thing and commented it but got worried and scrolled through the comments and just saw this 🥲. Well great minds do think alike I guess.
Literally watched your entire furby series from several months ago just yesterday, then this video comes out. Also I just remembered I have a furby somewhere lost in my house.... 💀
As a (half) Italian, I can confirm that “mha” does indeed translate to “mha”. Also, I don’t understand why they’re making plushies of that… blue… THING. I’m so repulsed by it I refuse to even say its name. We went to Rome over the summer and they were ALL OVER THE PLACE. My little brother BEGGED my parents to get one and I died a bit on the inside when they finally agreed. I just don’t get why anyone would even want that! IT’S A HIDEOUS ABOMINATION. WHY DO YOU WANT A PLUSHIE OF SOME BLUE, TOOTHY ELDRITCH CREATURE!?!? Sorry for the rant, I just really hate those things.
same!! it's from a horror game and it bothers me that so many parents don't know that when buying for their kids, the game has some pretty disturbing deaths
@@dimensionalMystery The most confusing bit for me is why kids want it in the first place. Like, are you not scared of THE LANKY, BLUE, TOOTHY ELDRITCH ABOMINATION? WHY DO YOU WANT THIS TO SIT IN YOUR BED WITH YOU AT NIGHT? *WHY!?*
I literally have my banana man plushie sitting next to me while watching this! Mine has a green hood and i bought my best friend the yellow hoodie one for her b-day , we have them hold hands :D
I owned a furby once, I put it somewhere in my house and forgot about it. Later when I had to move, I found the furby shoved up in the corner of my bedroom. I decided to take it with me for whatever reason. That was a big mistake. I tried to see if I could turn the furby on, and it worked. I then put it overlooking my bed and forgot about it until I was outside. I was walking around and I found a pet carrier stacked on top of some boxes. I looked in the carrier and the furby was there. I would have just ignored it, but there was a HAMMER behind the furby. I turned it on and asked it if it was a demon. It said "Yes, yes, very yes" then it just turned off with the pitch black eyes. I then shoved it on top of a counter and ran some errands. When I got back, the furby was facing the complete opposite direction. Lets just say that I don't have that furby anymore.
@@demon_hawkeye5269 The first question is whether a Furby can run DOOM. The second is 'what happens when I put every piece of dangerous code in to this thing?'
I had a pikachu one and if you forgot to take the batteries out, it would make some kind of screech at midnight. And mine was like:"I'm gonna still screech when I have no batteries".
@@DrBarbequeSauce wow man my comment was a year ago and you replied today, the day he texted me to ask if im doing alright. we broke up a while ago and i still havent replied yo his text cuz i dont know what to say. Do you have any advice on what to and what not to say?
You crushing the furby on a pan stuck with me. You made my brain start a long thought process about what youtubers do for one second clip like 'is it worth it', but then I realized how much that clip affected me as I'm thinking of it even now. Man.
When I was younger I did have a furby (still have even though it's broken) but before that, I had a Wuv Luv. Weird mechanical furry thing with GIANT eyelashes who's stomach opened up to give you an egg with a baby Wuv Luv inside. The baby and mother were meant to be able to have conversations with each other, but for some reason mine came from two different sets so the mother was Polish while the baby was English. I only know the name of this thing because I had a dream about it and frantically googled things like "furby like toy egg belly???"
I was so happy when he mentioned godly bannanna man at the end He’s underrated. Literally great. Hug during rainy days, and recreate that Kermit meme of him looking out the rainy window.
I can’t remember a lot of things from my childhood but I remember my sister got a Furby once and we couldn’t figure out how to shut it up, it would just start screaming while we were trying to sleep from what I remember and I think eventually we just took the batteries out and gave up. I can’t exactly remember what happened to it other than it eventually broke but I do remember I hated it.
Hey Matt, can you do an "A.I. Mishearing Things" video? Like your "Talking to pets but your A.I. Assistant responds" video, but a broader genre of chaos
Oh god! Every time I'm watching a video and either the video itself or an ad says "Hey, Google" or anything even vaguely similar, my phone stops everything so Google can answer.
I remember one time I went on amazon and found one of those cute shiba inu plushies. One person said theirs came with a little less stuffing and started making a full on speech about how he’s gonna start a go fund me page to help the shoober’s malnutrition. Oddly enough, one of the best amazon reviews I read. It felt like I just read a really great book
1 - all this talk of furbiez reminds me of when I first encountered one : My sister had gone to her friend's house, so we had to drop her off. While our mums were talking, my sister and I went upstairs, to the friend's room, in which I explored, and they played. I found a furby. I then try and work said furby for a good 5 minutes, before the friend notices and gets scared before telling me to stop what I was doing. I managed to get it to wake up. I am so sorry. 2 - I want a banana man
I think you could get a bit more mileage from 2 star reviews. I’d find it interesting to hear someone explain why they don’t like Furbies but also some kind of upside to them.
