Reacting to Early 2000s Yu-Gi-Oh TV Commercials! 

*REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DUEL WITH HONOR, NOT DRUGS!*

Yugi : "Don't do drugs kid" Also Yugi : *Activates POT of Greed

"It's time to duel!" He said, revealing he already had Exodia in his hand, instantly winning the duel

"With everything you need to duel" "Trading Cards not included"

"Actually I do smoke marijuana. It's good stuff!" -Yami Yugi, YGO Abridged [lol]

Say no to drugs and yes to card games on motorcycles

90s and early 2000s were THE good ol’ days. Remember waking up early Saturday mornings for an all morning Kids WB session? Cereal in hand 👌

Atem even years later telling me not to do the forbidden substances has stuck with me

Yami: don't do drugs and dishonor yourself Sam sniffing yugioh cards: Damn right Yugi, we do the strong stuff

Yugi be like: "I can't cheat at Duel Monsters, if I'm always high on the Marijuanas."

Knowing Yugi I am pretty sure he would challenge drugs to a duel and when he won he would banish then to the shadow realm

Remember those old Kids WB promos that had all the cartoon characters interacting with each other? Felt so surreal seeing Ash Ketchum and Batman next to each other.

Remember kids, Say NO to Pot ( *of greed* )

I actually had the Gate Guardian figure while my mom was questioning why is there a weird looking face at the crotch

There is actually a guy working on a real dueling disk and system. It's called project A.T.E.M

"Yugioh is basically cardboard crack" Cimooooo 2020

In the US, Fall 2005 - Spring 2006 was great because for some weeks, there was a new episode of Yu-Gi-Oh SIX days a week! Monday - Friday, a new episode of GX would premiere on Cartoon Network and then on Saturday, a new episode of YGO season 5 would air on Kids WB (can’t remember if they were CW yet). What a time to be alive!

Yami : "If someone wants to trade you Goblin's Secret Remedy, say no, that's playing a game I can't win"

KidsWB and 4Kids were the kings of weird commercials during the late 90's and early 2000's. I remember a Pokemon advert that had Batman and Joker in it.

Ahh, I remember having the model kit of the Winged Dragon of Ra! I also had a Thousand-Eyes Restrict toy that made a whooshing noise when you pressed a button on its head. Eyes Restrict are still a favorite archetype of mine-I'd love to own that toy again.

I was actually recommended a lot of old Yu-gi-oh commercials (half were ones like these and the other half were just time slot announcements for KidsWB, CW, etc) a couple of weeks ago just like these. They usually only have a couple thousand views but there are surprisingly a lot of them out there.

“honor” “to protect and maintain” don’t do pot (of greed)

Man I'm bummed you didn't watch the commercial for Launcher Spider. Dead as they had a whole ass commercial for a level 7 normal monster that wasn't even as strong as Dark Magician but that commercial was so fire I fw that car so much when I was in 4th grade and I even still have my original print of that card.

Yugi: I duel with honor, that's why I never do drugs, it's for my friends. Mario: If you smoke, you'll go to hell.

As a wise man once said: Don't do drugs, smell yugioh cards

You say you never saw them.... but let's not forget that you were a kid.... there is probably a ton of stuff you forgot and don't realize it...

I had the Red eyes black metal model, It's made of very cheap plastic. I still have the head lol

I had a duel disk back in the early 2000’s. It was really awesome not having to be playing my cards on the rough, dirty cement of our sidewalk, as me and my friends always played outside. 😂

best drug in yugioh: friendship

Man some of these are a huge blast from the past. I don't remember seeing the model kit commercials but one of my friends had the models for Ra and Gate Guardian

I remember owning a Dark Magician action figure made by mattel as a kid. He had a button on the back so you could wave his staff for his attack. Idk if there was a commercial for it or not. I might still have it buried somewhere at my parents house.

As I've been rewatching the original series, it feels like being teleported back in time. It's almost like I can remember exactly where I was, which room of the house I was in, which friends of mine were with me, which friends of mine I talked about the show with, the smell of the bed or couch I watched the show on, etc., with each individual episode.

A Yugioh Commercial is The Masterpiece

Sam’s anti drug is smelling yugioh cards😂😂

No wonder Yami Yugi always won. He was actually *cracked*

6:10 HOLY SHIT!!! I completely forgot about this commercial!! It's funny because I remember seeing it literally every single week on Saturday mornings but then they abruptly stopped playing it and I completely forgot about it! And I remember enjoying it at first but then it got annoying after a while. 😅😂

Toyz R us is still open in South Africa. We literally still have mega stores that have been at the same location for 30 years. We even have Babies R us now

Fun Fact: Toy R Us is still open in NJ

Could you imagine if any other the other Yu-Gi-Oh protagonists had their own Marijuana PSA? Jaden: I can't get my game on if I smoked Marijuana! Yusei: I can't rev it up with my pals if I were to smoke Marijuana! Yuma: I'd be feeling all kinds of the wrong flows if I smoked Marijuana! Yuya: I wouldn't be able to make anyone smile if I smoked Marijuana! I couldn't think of anything for Yusaku since I stopped after Arc-V.

I'm a 30 year old man, my first Yu-Gi-Oh cards were magic ruler, couldn't even build a deck for a while. Eventually got obsessed with it, as did my brother, but we stopped playing after synchros started. Now I'm playing master duel and getting back into it and I like y'all's work. Keep it up!

Damn I feel old lol felt like a kid again

I love that a bunch of old toy commercials had kids going against each other in underground fight clubs

I had a Slifer model kit. I like how that first ad even showed the Obelisk even though in the US we hadn’t got to Battle City yet!

I had the gaia the dragon champion figure. It was essentially 2 toys in 1.

You know you a yugi-boomer when you remember every commercial 😂👴

The Red Eyes Black Dragon model was nice, but I didn't know they had the god monsters.

The CG blue eyes is super impressive. It's a two second shot but looks good even today

This brought back so many good memories. Thanks guys

Is ridge wallet a part of yugioh commercial too 😂

I like this channel so much

Yo the CGI for the monsters in the LOB commercial is fantastic

Trip down memory lane! I had the Gate Guardian, Launcher Spider, and REBMD models. Great video, guys!

So, you're telling me, that i can't smoke pot if i want to be a good duelist? Dang it...

I love your videos especially this one you're awesome

I'm so glad you guys did the Blue-Eyes vs Exodia "live-action movie"-style commercial cuz that was hands down my favorite since when. I've been trying to develop a series based on that core memory!

I love LittleKuriboh's parody of the drug PSA where Yami tells kids not to smoke marijuana because it costs money that would be better spent on Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

Damn I remember every one of these commercials. I miss old Yugioh

"Actually I do smoke marijuana, it's gooooooood stuff"

I like this channel for all that nostalgia, keep going guys

love the way Yami is like don't do drugs kids, Jayden is like - AY I'M FKIN BAKED Y'ALL GO HERO DUDE BRING ME THAT DANK POT OF KUSH

Drugs are probably a cheaper hobby than yu gi oh

I had the launcher Spider toy, I loved it cause it shot missiles and walked

if it helps clarify, Toys-R-Us still exists to this day all across Canada. When the company announced it was closed all it's locations some rich guy up here bought out all the Canadian stores to keep them open and running. They even still hold Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments, although on a much smaller scale and for kids only.

this was GOLD!! more OG era themed videos!

Yugioh players. Drug free is the way to be.

Sheeeeit id love to see Konami or someone build a real working duel disk with hologram projectors 😂 hahaha but that anti drug commercial was cringe AF Lol

thank u guys🥰 this video made my day

Man, I wish I could have seen these commercials back when I was a kid. I would have been so hyped for them lmao

The problem with those duel discs is that your deck has to have 40-50 cards in a decks and you can put sleeves on your cards, or you couldn’t fit the deck in the holder, or cards in the slots. First hand experience.

Me: I think you should get the Obelisk model Orbital: sir I don't think that would be a wise option Me: If you don't be quiet orbital 7 I'll rip your circuits

"That's playing a game I can't win" Dude that hit me so fucking hard in the heart I don't know why Maybe it's the music over the quote or knowing close friends who turned to strangers on drugs It made me cry Like what!?!?!

ion really play anymore but im still subbed cause I like you guys, I barely remember all your names and stuff but dude to the right is super chill. he needs to be in more videos and be more of a focus point.

Sheeesh

I used to own one of those duel disks, they are pretty worthless.

Love the video, I had the duel disc that destroyed cards. Never knew about the model kits back then, I would have went nuts.

OMG EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY THANK YOU I AM A HUGE FAN OF YAMI YUGI

These commercials brought back to an incredible time growing up waking up every Saturday mornings on Kids WB and coming home after school watching weekday afternoons watching Jackie Chan Adventures, Mucha Lucha, Xiaolin Showdown, Transformers: Cybertron, The Batman, Pokémon Johto League Adverntures or Chronicles and of course Yu-Gi-Oh!. To me the classic shows were that but the one that impacted me my whole entire life was Yu-Gi-Oh! It made me led to believe I would beg for my parents to buy me starter decks and structure decks but my parents say no until 2002 I got me both Yugi and Kaiba Starter Decks. Seeing all of these commercials brought me back nostalgia, it's never seen on TV anymore but Konami used commercials for duel packs and starter decks of their respective seasons. I've never gotten any action figures but the one model kit I got from my dad when I was 14 was the one and only Slifer the Sky Dragon model kit. I opened the box and the beauty of it was the pieces with instructions got me so crazed with putting them together, no clue or tape. Press and click the pieces, put it in a stand and you got Slifer striking its menacing stare when it's summoned. You guys made this review just takes me back. For us kids I'm happy to say it made our childhoods awesome and these gems are etched in our hearts and minds for a long time. Had it happened today meaning if Konami set up more action figures and other products in conjuction with Mattel, Hasbro or any toy company we'll go crazy and kids today would beg parents for more like we did to fall in love and grasp Yu-Gi-Oh! in all its glory. What a treasure. And people, children, please don't do drugs. Have faith and believe in the Heart of the Cards.

On that first commercial, I'm like 90% sure I owned that Launcher Spider figure. Wish I still had, it'd make a badass monster miniature in a dnd campaign

I have a video suggestion, you guys should go over every person Yugi/Atem have scared for life or killed in the early manga before it went to the playing cards. I think that be fun to go over

I had a slypher the sky dragon model my parents got for me at target, the nostolgia this video brings me is amazing thank you for the content!

I got that Red-Eyes Black Metal for Christmas as a kid. No idea what happened to it. Thank you for resurfacing some wonderful memories.

1:18 Never had them but seeing these kinds of toys and the other commercials bring all sorts of childhood memories back

At 1 point I had the Exodia with the fire ball, I'll have to take a look to see if I still have it in a bin at my parents house. Had that, and 1 other one. Also had a bunch of the mini figures with the plastic cards and the duel arena for it, still got some of those figures but the arena was recently tossed because of a basement flood.

Jeez you guys reminded me that when I was a kid my brother and I always got the new decks and packs when my mom could afford it and we'd play daily thinking of new ways to beat the others strats and I only ever beat my brother once with the new structure deck that had dark eradicator warlock, but my mom got my brother the build red eyes and I got obelisk. Such a cool memory I forgot and you guys reminded me. Thank you for bringing back part of my childhood!! Your videos got me back into the TCG after about 15 years

This video is a blast of nostalgia lol I actually had the Slifer Model when i was younger

I still have my harpies pet dragon and gate guardian models from when I was a kid. This was Hella nostalgic you guys should definitely do a part two if able.

I had all those toys and the duel disk and the chaos duel disk, still have them in my storage lol

The new Yugioh Duel Disk by Proplica is a fully usable with sleeved decks. Has lights and sounds for all monster zones, plays official music from the Japanese dub, and has extra deck and banish zone, and is very nice and hefty. Goes for around $300 to $400. Came out in 2020.

Yugi: "Don't do drugs kids" Georno: "Welcome to da club"

just discovered your channel after re-igniting my yugioh passion when i got the new online game yugioh master duel

Classic man haha and the voice actor too, mad them commercials epic

That first commercial I remember having the Exodia one from Kmart. It looked awesome, but got tired of it really quick because it was too stiff and had a terribly loud and tinny noise when you pressed the button on his back. I also remember those duel blades as well. My friend had two of them. They looked pretty cool when you had them on, but dueling with them was not practical at all. Your arm gets tired really quick from the weight and straps. In the end we just ended up playing with them on the floor. 😆

I had the Obelisk and Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon model kits as a child alongside the Dark Magician and Black Luster Soldier toys. This brought back key memories of my youth I forgot all about.

I had the Gaia The Dragon Champion!!! Y'all brought back memories, man!!!!

The Slifer model kit was awesome. Very nice display piece.

Omg the nostalgia. I had the duel disk, built the red eyes, and gate guardian. I could never find obelisk. I feel happy and old

I had the big Yugioh toys, I had Exodia and Rude Kaiser I think Dark Magician, I believe I had more but I specifically remember those. I also had an original Duel Disk but it snapped in half during a move to a new place, it was really heavy. I remember all of these commercials

9:09 I preordered the ULTIMAGEAR Millenium Puzzle Model Kit on HobbyLink Japan. Can't wait to get it sometime in August!

Getting stoned while dueling is actually fun though

That intro got me on the floor crying 🤣 that drug ad got me howling
