The Man Who Invented More Than 800 Iconic Toys | Eddy's World | The New Yorker 

It’s so crazy! I think the way to live longer is to think and put puzzles together like his toys!

that’s insane

@@llllllllll9577 it's the opposite : you're life will be shorter, because you'll never be bored at a desk doing a nonsensical job

A hundred year old man would be better at technology than my 60 year old parents

He makers children smile, bringing happiness to others gives one reason to live👌💯❤️

Yeah, that got me! :D

Like up part 2 but with him. He's not grumpy though

Maybe a short film?

Very true!

Seems like his life is a Pixar movie, and what a beautiful story.

He is such àn inspiration to be positive and remain active.

Jordan B Peterson would suggest its the opposite, and you see it in this video. This man walks a couple of miles a day. He had a treadmill in his living room where he does a short sprint, and he takes the stairs over the elevator. This is what Jordan tells us, being physically active leads to an active mind. Doing mind puzzles alone never kept anyone alive.

@@alexwild4350 I like Jordan too, but both is important. You need to be physically active as well as keeping your mind engaged. As Jordan says, you need to find a purpose in life. And when you have a purpose, the rest is easy.

Yeah, this is the type of stuff that makes 2020 not seem so bad

People look at the old like they're weak, and almost feel sorry for them. But they're really the hardest members of society. They're the ones who made it.

Why hello there

You're make, Jabrils good luck with all your endeavors, Regards! Business Broker Marc Bate😊

No such women exist anymore in the US, unfortunately.

What about the guys who accept their wives' love and support, then dump her for a newer model when they've become successful?

Men do this for women on the regular

@@melaniekeeling7462 what about women who do the same thing? You have good and bad people on both sides

@@DarrinSK Nobody I've ever known. Most of the men I've seen are too prissy to pick up a hammer. They tell their wife to do it.

Not yet...

yep

Living Legend

He made radars in his 20's and invent extremely complex toys for a living and you are surprised that he can operate a computer. Lol.

@DAEVARAJAN S/O SUGUMARAN Student ok 👍 I’m guessing you didn’t get the joke.

100% you wont make it there! So don't worry. Covid-19 will kill us all

@@bontronblock no cap sadly, BUT HEY WE COULD ALL BE IN A SIMULATION

Hello JJ. I think you will be judging by your content, (and hair) lol 😂

The one and only J.J!!!

99

You think he might of watched the video? After all its a documentary and its about him.

Most likely, he watched the video😉. There is a documentary on my channel about me👍, I watched it and then uploaded it 💪✌️at first opportunity💯.

@@onetoyatatime6619 💯 oh 😧 wow 😮 you 👈 did? 😵 that's 💥 crazy! 😳

Don't use the Lord's name in vain

@@awesome346 how is that in vain?

@@Rolling_Coasters lol you missed the whole joke

In my opinion, he makers more children smile then Pixar characters 💯. I take toys🦸‍♂️🧸⚽ to children in extreme poverty, they ask for his toys😉 but rarely ask for Pixar characters.

He look nothing like Karl Fredrickson lol

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMG1nlQi5bg.html .

He is right , and he knows what optimization is for , healthy mind and body !

@@carzak What if people aren’t fully confident in themselves leading them to going back to facing reality once again

I can only imagine what someone would say about that these days

Wholesome

this

Real talk

Yeah some others would've been stupid and left

Hopefully, because of his age, I’m a little afraid...

He's done quite good at fending for himself the last 100 years he doesn't need our protection lol

correct 😊. by the way he's 99 now

@shatoshi331 That's great. He's an inspiration to us all😊

Believe it 🙋🏾‍♀️😉

I loved how he says I love solar power.

He is the first human being to be entirely powered by the Sun

why did this make me tear up? lol I agree!

Garry, thanks so much for sharing this. I will share with Eddy. Thanks. Lyn

@@chattering101 tell him that I didn’t realize how many of the toys that I played with where his ideas he is amazing and his toys where a big part of my childhood

@@JustAPairofLegs I will let him know. Garry, how do I get in touch with you?

Timing is everything

It was even more back in the 1800s BEFORE electric was even invented, which means they didn't even have a telegraph, soon as electric came about a whole crapload of inventions no one ever saw before all came out in a very short time- telegraph which became the telephone as it improved, phonographs with ways to record voice and music, cameras to record visuals, motion pictures, electric lights, motors of all kinds, elevators that made skyscrapers possible, electric also made aluminum cheap and easy to make at a time when it was so difficult it was more valuable than platinum! the sewing machine, steam engines, automobiles, typewriters and adding machines! can you imagine how hard it was to design a mechanical adding machine that could add, subtract etc huge numbers? xerox copy machines, computers, cell phones, inkjet printers, all of these inventions are interconnected, most came about in the 1800s in a short span of time and it all goes back to ONE invention- producing electrical power. One has to wonder what other invention like that will come out that sparks another crapload of side inventions the same way!

He's got a lot of good karma. Maybe he'll see us land on Mars.

that was my favourite part!

Very well said!!

Agreed, anyone who makes things for the joy of others is a legend on their own. Nice profile pic by the way, glad to see people showing pride

He turned 99 this September, dude is a boss for sure.

Is Santa. Odin.

@ChildofSevilla be loud

@ChildofSevilla why? U jelly?

I can imagine job conversion....."Whats your job?" "I have fun bringing happiness to children"....

He actually murdered her. He used hundreds of those chatting teeth to do it. He's now in jail for the rest of his life. Sad story 😢

@@randyg.7940 it’s not funny.

@Rodrigo Barraza So sad, he used her to get what he wanted than he offed her.

@@randyg.7940 Get off the comment sections you rude douche.

A variant of Kerplunk is Tumblin' Monkeys. It's also very fun.

I have fond memories of playing Kerplunk with my late grandfather, thankyou Eddy.

Obvious statement is obvious.

Me for sure.

True

@@TheDennys21 I'm dead. Pre-Malone what up!? Lmao

@@requestcontainsinvalidargu185 hey

I personally believe it would match well if he were in some Pixar film.

jesus yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you documenting your travels on you tube? Your adventures must be interesting. Have a good holiday and New Year. ☘️🌝🌲

You are just a youngun..if you feel good life is great. Keep walking. Sounds like a great life you have

Good Luck With That Boss

Pali_Aha sounds like you are living your life to the fullest :) You should feel accomplished!

If we don't go back into the habit of school shootings, maybe we can have toys like that again.

Today's kids....... DEFUND this and that...

Agree❤

@@errolkim1334 Exactly.

@@errolkim1334 Hey if it reduces the taxes!

Young people these days are no longer taught real values. Now, they'd rather get more than give back.

LOL

He has good taste

Love this comment

You literaly just watched a video about him??? Everyone in the comments is talking him???

Apparently they are. ;)

Because nobody yet seemed to have cross posted it to facebook, twitter etc etc

Wow... very interesting

Or perhaps that was an oversight by the props department.

i was always sure they said a christmas story takes place in like, the 50s.

I don’t think such a minute detail would change the time era of such a Hollywood production like that.

I always could tell it was the 40s but that's because my grandmother was always pointing out the furniture in the background telling me "that's vintage 40s!" Excitedly, lol.

... Whippersnappers...

Lol yes

fucks that last part supposed to mean

@@bigtonybruiser I think its supposed to be a compliment because he's 98.

@@bigtonybruiser Most people over 80 don't look at good as him. ^_^ He either got good genes, or he took care of himself...either way, it's a benefit for him.

amnhh yes, his flesh so sillky smooth.. a much appreciated trait among uss, fellow humanoids... yesss

@@bigtonybruiser probably cuz natural no surgery

and todaaaay is Fortnite is the real reason behind a lot of cringy 12 year old and kids' happiness 😟

Arunoday - COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!!!

Ja ja ja, almost impossible.

@@mrvn000 What's impossible? The marriage or sitting and talking with him? Talking with him probably is almost impossible, considering I live on the East Coast and he lives (I believe) in California. 65 years of marriage, however, is well within reach considering I already have 35 of those years down.

@@watchyourtimeco1 dang u just killed him bro

i can still hear that windup sound in my head...

wilg wona? i is watch

I can personally remember playing that Kerplunk toy as a child.

@@lopwr1212 YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY?!
