Timmy the Tooth Haunts My Dreams 

Best way to celebrate someone's birthday is gaslight them

Mustache Man ditches reading for anthropomorphic talking tooth.

The genuine excitement in his voice when he said "There's stickers in here" was amazing

I can't believe I'm genuinely laughing at a bit from Timmy the Tooth. "Say, that's a great idea!" "No it's not" "NO IT'S NOT"

I never could stand that trope in children's television (believe or not, it is a trope, there are a lot of old children's tv shows that have done this trope in at least one episode), where everyone is a dick and ignores the main character so they can build up the hype of the surprise party when it is revealed. Especially when they way too often play it off like the main character is in the wrong for being upset that everyone forgot his birthday. Like what a terrible message for kids.

I’m so glad Timmy the tooth doesn’t have any teeth of his own. The idea of my teeth having teeth fills me with existential dread.

Timmy's delivery of "remembered he forgot" explains SO MUCH of your comedic delivery and timing, it's crazy

Who remembers when you forgot to rewind the VHS, so you had to take like 7 minutes for the movie to rewind before you could watch it

I cant believe NBC tried to stop you from talking about dental hygiene

Man, Eddy’s really committed to this “tony exists” bit huh

His reaction when he says 'there's stickers in here' might be the purest cute I've ever seen :p 💜

i used to watch these vhs tapes when i was sick so i genuinely thought they were a fever dream until my grandma gave me all the vhs tapes when we moved and i found the collection

Timmy the Tooth sounds like a member of the mafia. Timmy "The Tooth" Scapparelli, wanted for larceny, racketeering, and extortion.

“I bought the vhs tapes, and he converted them to the computer” -Eddy Burback, age 75

To think I could have died without ever learning that Timmy The Tooth ever existed...

I love when he says, " there are stickers inside!" because everyone would do the same

Being one of the 2 directors (the Cavity Goon, James Murray was the other), was like being able to go to work - "play" - with some of the most fun, energetic people I've ever had the joy to create with. The stage which held "Flossmore Valley" was our sandbox and together we loved every week as we brought Timmy and his friends to life. Our goal was to be entertaining (my montra: "You can't teach somebody who isn't in the room: With T.V., if it's not fun or interesting, that "leaving the room" is just a remote click away.) and also personal, especially where it concerned our young viewers and what might have been challenges and victories in their lives. In my 45 years as a DGA director, this series is one of my very favorites.

I had a plush Timmy and he was unusually high quality

I literally have not thought about Timmy the Tooth in 25 years. You've unlocked a long sealed off core memory. Neurons in my brain are freaking out right now.

I'm honestly shocked about how high quality these puppets are. It's really impressive!

Listen at least Timmy doesn't actually have teeth.

"It's the fuckin theme we chose" is going to be my response when people ask why me and the boys are party planning a dental hygiene shindig to commemorate the end of lockdown.

I have been trying to describe this show to my husband for so long, and each time it just sounds more crazy

I was haunted by commercials featuring that tooth, so I drew a comic featuring an anthropomorphic tooth and his Tooth Care Team of dental hygiene assistants and finally never had to think about it again until this video. Thank you for dredging up those memories.

imagine watching this as a child and then your birthday comes up. all your friends are ignoring you and you think "ohh they're gonna throw a surprise birthday party for me like timmy the tooth had!" but no your friends just straight up suck

There is something awfully wrong with the toothbrush dog.

I’m sorry but I fucking *LOVE* that cavity goon. The rap was fantastic, the puppet design is beautiful, and it looks incredibly well made. Props to everyone who worked on this show, it’s phenomenal.

Oh my gosh. When I was seven years old my grandma took me to the mall to go “birthday shopping” where I got to pick out stuff with my birthday money. We went to FYE and I bought this exact same video. I thought it was special because it was Timmy’s birthday and also my birthday. I watched this video so many times, I remembered every single line of dialogue watching this, and I haven’t seen this in at least twenty years. Thank you, Eddy for allowing me to unlock a part of my brain I haven’t accessed in ages. And also, even as a kid I thought the Cavity Goon was a prick

"Hey that's a good idea!" "No it's not!" "No it's not." Actually laughed out loud.

"unironically i loved this show when i was 4 or 5" i cant imagine a toddler ever doing something ironically...

Would like to personally thank u for reintroducing this nightmare fuel back into my life. I have spent the last decade searching “creepy Timmy the toaster looking puppet” only to get no where. Glad our libraries kept the same stock of vhs tapes

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="513">8:33</a> I know, the “Aw, my friends don’t care about my special day! I’m so lonely and sad! WAIT, THEY WERE PLANNING A SURPRISE PARTY ALL ALONG!” plot always bothered me as a little kid. Like, I get that the friends don’t want to give the surprise away, but they could at least wish him a happy birthday?

timmy the tooth gives off alternate reality spongebob energy.

The 90's were wrought with disturbing puppet shows, but to be honest the thing that gets me in these nightmare fuel programs is how all the doors and windows and tables and furniture are strangely angular and misshaped. I've never understood this art direction and something about it creeps me the fuck out.

I didn’t think I recognized the show. But as soon as you said the words “brush brush” I had flash backs to a time when I was smol.

“AHH, THATS A GOOD IDEA!” “No it’s not.” “ᴺᵒ ⁱᵗ’ˢ ⁿᵒᵗ”

i can't imagine being a writer back in the day for kid's media. like what goes on to make them think "yeah let's make a musical about a sentient fucking tooth" "no it's not about taking care of your teeth"

I knew a girl in high schools whose friends tried to throw a surprise party and did the “we’re busy on your birthday” thing and she was so upset that when she was told where to go to see everyone she didn’t show up

I have gone over 15 years thinking that I made this up. That the weird show I watched at my cousins house who live in the middle of nowhere and who I haven't seen in a decade was just a fever dream. I could never mention it to others out of fear that I'd get the same horrified reaction from them as I did from my family who swore that my cousins never played such a weird tv show while I was there. I had finally accepted that I had made it up, when this appeared on my recommended feed. Subscribed.

I remember this being advertised in a lot of the cartoons I'd watch on VHS. I guess they were trying to build up a dramatic situation in that story, when realistically they could have gone about the surprise birthday party without resorting to neglectful tactics. For instance, having one or two friends hang out with Timmy for the day, tricking him into believing that they were going to have a small celebration of his birthday by simply hanging out. It would have given a more positive experience, and then elevated that afterwards with the real party. 😊

The Cavity Goon is Oscar the Grouch’s crackhead cousin

Eddie reverted back to a kid when he saw those stickers.

Dude, I wish I had discovered you and your content years ago. Genuinely love listening to you, thank you for the videos.

The Timmy the Tooth ad would come on before my favourite Land Before Time VHS and it gave me nightmares 10/10 times.

“Timmy gets blown off by his cowboy friend” p a u s e

Put the stickers on your background!!

the joy that radiates off of this video made my day so much better. thank you for sharing something that makes u happy. my heart

One of my earliest memories: Early or mid 80s MTV(?) game show where everyone sat in a big comfy easy chair, the losers were pulled chair n’ all off set, then spat back out, as a skeleton sitting on the chair. I was convinced that the people were actually being killed, and not only that, but that any adults that I asked about it, would lie to me, or failing that, they would be mistaken and say it was a special effect or something, and that the people weren’t being killed. I imagined that they were pulling innocent people off the street, or that people wanted to win so bad they were willing to risk a 2/3 chance of death 😬

YOOOO THE TIMMY THE TOOTH OPENING SLAPS SO HARD

Had to immediately Google. The producer James Murray is NOT the same James Murray from Impractical Jokers

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="759">12:39</a> when all of his friends wer like screaming or something I thought he was screaming cuz he was scared and I flat-out laughed am I a bad person?

The excitement of “there’s stickers in here!” is really getting me

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="560">9:20</a> “Timmy gets blown off by his cowboy friend” interesting phrasing there Edward

Eddy's face looks like if you took off his glasses, his nose would come off with them. Idk why I think that but I do.

I *VAGUELY* remember this. I ws five when it was filmed and I remember watching it at like that year or a year later. When you showed footage of it, I started to remember the sequence on the mountain and the weird sequence with the goon in the house. I managed to put this entire thing in the back of my memory somewhere. What triggered it is remembering the SMELL of the VHS tape case.

I remember seeing ads for this before one of the Land Before Times on VHS all the time. Glad I finally got to see what it was all about.

The cavity looks like the Grinch on fentanyl

the fact that you lost focus for stickers is so relatable

I'm so glad this piece of art has been saved for future generations

Hi Eddy! You just posted about the support on the rainforrest cafe vid and I noticed this one was the only under a mil and im actually mad because this is one of my FAVORITE videos because i loveedd timmy the tooth and I was so happy to see someone talk about it! Like none of my friends had heard of it I thought I was alone with timmy lol Just spreading some love to you and anyone who reads this ♥️

“You thought I LI- o.o there’sstickersinhere.” A whole ADHD mood.

ive always been haunted by the faint memory of TTT

I’m happy there’s a video on this, I only grew up with the space episode and have always wanted to see the other ones

I’m glad the Cavity Goon is green. Once upon a time, I had a cavity in a molar. After my dentist drilled the opening wider, he told be that I showed up at a good time because sometimes plaque is green, which damages your tooth extremely, wicked fast

The phenomenon he’s talking about at the start reminds me of how I thought I had imagined LazyTown. It wasn’t until Villain Number 1 became a meme that I realized it was real. I talked to more than a handful of people and they had no idea what I was talking about when I said there was a pink haired girl, a blue sports acrobat guy, and a bunch of weird puppets

Joke explained: when Timmy says he wants to get picked on, not only is he desperate for attention, he also is a tooth, and getting “picked on” is good for dental hygiene, like a toothpick.

I never knew Timmy the Tooth was on Nick Jr. lol, we didn’t have cable. But I remember renting it at our local movie rental store. I think about that show from time to time but literally can’t remember what any of it was about, I’ve also tried to deep dive the internet for clips of it but pretty much failed. I don’t know why but it was just such a surreal show. I loved it. Thanks for digging up old memories! Finally. I can close this nostalgia chapter. Thank you for the relief.

It is so weird seeing this again. I owned that same episode on VHS in 2007 (4-years-old) and watched it all the time. I completely forgot about this show until you happened to appear on my recommended feed. This really brings me back.

my dad's a dentist so by default he had a Timmy the tooth stuffed toy and it sat on a shelf in the corner of his office. Every day after school I went to his practice and would sit in his office and when you walked into the room it was one of the first things you saw, and it was as terrifying as any 90's toy but I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, he gave it away when he moved offices but when I saw your thumbnail it triggered that memory lmaoo

I don’t like how Brushbrush the dog only whispers and doesn’t bark, but Timmy can fully understand him.

I remember the commercials for this and couldn't remember what it was called. The fact that you found this is incredible. Doing the lordts work 👏👏👏👏

This unlocked such a deep memory I had of watching this show hahaha thank you! I also got it from the library 🤣😂

Man said “cowboy friend” and I fully thought he said “cow boyfriend” for a good 10 seconds

The cavity goon thing looks like the grouch's Floridan cousin who's lived on the street for 5 years due to his meth addiction making it impossible for him to keep a job.

The ad for this was on a vhs i had as a kid! Fascinating to hear about this after so long

I had completely forgotten this. Thanks for reawakening this nightmare.

My brain: you've unlocked a core memory. ME: Oh no please no...

That was the coolest slide in of ALL FUCKING TIME!

I find that puppet shows, especially kids shows, they are some of the best ever, so much passion and love behind them

I never actually watched Timmy the Tooth, but I was a kid in the mid/late 90's and whenever my sister and I would visit our grandma during the summer, without fail we would watch a VHS of the Little Rascals movie that had that same ad...and this video awakened a visceral memory in me of sitting in front of that tiny TV and hearing that theme song. Memory is a crazy thing

Eddy: * a feeble young lad who just wants to get by and be a normal child * Cavity Goon: “I’m gonna stop you right there.”

My dad full on led me to believe that the cavity goon was real, and I didn't realize he was joking until I raised my hand during the oral hygiene class in *third grade* and asked about the cavity goon.

I remember watching this... LOL what did we use to watch as kids. I also was born in 1996, I remember veggie tales, teletubbies, elmo... the list goes on. This brings back memories. Def got a new subscriber!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I’ve done the same thing you did with this. I actually watch the season 1 of this on tv.

When I was a kid strawberry shortcake had an episode with this exact premise and I remember thinking it was stupid. But then when I was in high school I went home really upset and crying to my mom one day because my friends were avoiding me and talking behind my back. That's when she told me that they were planning a surprise party 😬 I immediately remembered strawberry shortcake and felt like I owed her an apology.

This episode taught me that even when no one wishes you a happy birthday on your birthday it's okay because they're all planning something big. Anyway I've sat alone in my house each year and nothing...this party is gonna be rad.

I no longer feel alone. I too was obsessed with this show and got vhs tapes from the library.

Wow, thanks so much. I never watched this but there was a trailer for it in the vhs for Land Before Time 2 I always had to fast forward through

That surprise birthday party thing is literally done in every kids show.

Eddy is the perfect mix of fun uncle and older cousin

I'm so glad I'm not the only person in the world who remembers getting Timmy the Tooth VHS tapes from the library as a kid!

As someone who is 16, omfg I love Timmy the Tooth. My dad had two of the VHS tapes and I would watch them all the time. I love the theme song as much as I love the theme song to the original TMNT. I love this theme song as much as I love the theme song to SatAM. Do you know how PASSIONATE I am about Sonic SatAM and its theme song? Timmy the Tooth was the best thing to ever happen to my earliest childhood.

The genuine excitement when eddy says "there's stickers in here" warms my heart

“My brother and I would *BOOK* it to the VHS tapes,”

"every time we went to the library, me and my brother would *book* it to the VHS tapes" I see what you did there

I had these vhs tapes as a kid and for YEARS I have been telling people about this show and it’s like I’ve been describing a fever dream. Even when o started college I asked if anyone else remembered this show because I had the VHS tapes and it wasn’t until I found a full episode online to show everyone it was real.

"Timmy the Tooth Commits Self-Extraction" is a childhood favorite.

Hey if you don’t have any teeth, no more dreams about teeth!

The Timmy the Tooth episode “Lost my Brush” used to make me bawl my eyes out. I still remember every word to this theme. Iconic.

The amount of relief I feel as an adult knowing now for certain that this show was never a fever dream or figment of my adolescent imagination is insurmountable 😮‍💨
