Testing the Most Unusual Toys Ever Made | A Curious Look at Toy History · The conspiracy

  Speaker 1: My heart just fell out of my a * *.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Not only because of that jack-in-the-box sock monkey, but because
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you are looking absolutely stunning today. My heart's going pitter-patter, pitter-patter.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna die, to be honest. But
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that is setting the tone for today's video because I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: bought a lot of toys. And yes, I am a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: pushing 30-year-old woman. But did I purchase all these toys
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: because I couldn't afford them as a child and I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: was jealous of the other kids and felt deprived of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: childhood wonderment and am now buying them as a 27-year-old
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: woman to fill some kind of void within my past,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: but I'm filming it on camera for millions of people
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to justify me not being crazy? Maybe. But you're watching it,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: so you're just as crazy too. Let's get to it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So yes, as I said, today I bought a lot
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of like retro toys, toys that were super big back
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: in the 90s and early 2000s, toys that I wish
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I could have had. And I feel like probably a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: lot of you wish you could have had. Or you're
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: too young and you don't even know what these are
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and you're just going to have a fun time. You're
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: going to see what is outside of the of the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: iPads and the black mirror screens that you're constantly looking at. Because,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I think about, like, having kids one
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: day and, like, just giving them iPads and all this
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: stuff just makes me- makes my heart hurt. Because I remember, like,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: playing with toys. I remember playing with sticks, for God's sake,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you know? And it was fun. And I feel like
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we need to get back to that. And I'm going
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to test out some toys that maybe you could purchase
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for your little ones or your little ones could purchase.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know how old you are. You might be five.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You might be 50. I don't fucking know. But either way,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you're going to watch a 27 year old woman play
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: with toys. So let's, let's do that now. This kid
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: looks like he's really into Sokerman. Interrupting today's video, just
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to let you know that that kid on that box
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: was me. So it's pretty funny that Best Boss Ever
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is doing a toy video from the 90s and stuff.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And I was a 90s kid on a box of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a toy. True story. I swear to God, it's me.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So first up, we got the Kush slingshot, which, what
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a name. Kush? You don't know what that is. You're
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: too young to be watching me, but I'm playing with toys,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: so this is probably very confusing. Anyway, it's a slingshot.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: It looks like it can hurt people, and I love it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I had a slingshot as a kid, but I made it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I whittled it with wood like a survivor man, but
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to try this. I remember seeing this as
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a kid. Kush's products were first made in 1987. Mother...
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Got it. A little bit before I was born, but
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I remember seeing this in stores and I wanted it
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: so bad, but my mom wouldn't let me have it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I had almost off myself by accident when I was
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a youngin' with one of those, one of those sticky,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: flicky hands with that, you know, those sticky hands that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you have it on your finger and you, it's like
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: on a rope and you stick it to walls. I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: was swinging it around, right? And then I swung it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: around and it wrapped around my neck and went... And
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: then I was like this, I was like, and I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was getting asphyxiated and I almost, I almost strangled myself
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with the toy. Alas, I'm alive and we're here. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of toys back in the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: day were slightly dangerous. All right, so it says use
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the launcher, hook on the holding slot, pull back and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: let go or use finger. Oh, so you can either
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: just use your finger and shoot it or you can
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: use this, which we're going to try to use this.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I think we just hook it on. You grab the cush.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: We'll try to hit one of the things in the back.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Let's try to hit the blue guy. Kevin, move. Come here.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hit you. Alright, ready? And... FIRE! Oh, shit.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: That was so on a... What the f * * *? Oh!
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: That doesn't go very fast. Let's try to hit Pete. Oh!
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Pretty dope. I feel like, you know, you could hit
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: your siblings in the head with that, but it's not
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: gonna do any damage. I give it, like, a 2
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: out of 10, so... That's not the best one. Let's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: try something else. Next up, we got something that I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: always thought was so dumb, but I needed to see
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it for myself. It's the Pet Rock. Pet Rock is
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a collectible toy made in 1975 by advertising executive Gary Dahl.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: They were rocks packaged in custom cardboard boxes completed with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: ventilation holes and straw bedding imitating a pet carrier. What? 1975.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And this guy made so much money off this. Who's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: buying this? That was like, you know, like TikTok nowadays
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when people like hype up a product and just get
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: sold out immediately. I gotta make the new Pet Rock product. Okay,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I don't wanna... What is this? What is this? in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the ass. World's smallest, age grade eight plus. You have
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to be eight years old to have a pet rock? What? Honestly,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I can't even have pet rock at age 27. I'd
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: find a way to kill this thing by accident. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: guess I do have Kevin. Kevin's alive. Right, Kevin? He's alive.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, you're doing such a good job with me, mom. Oh, wait,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it's actually really cute. Okay, I want to open it. Oh,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I'm so bad at opening boxes. I always ruin them. Oh, oh, Guys, okay,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: let's name them in the comments. There's a little instruction manual. Oh,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it's so little. It's so cute. Oh, if you don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: know me. Oh, I love things that are smaller than
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they're supposed to be. Your new rock is very sensitive.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I need my fucking glasses. Gather round because now it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Chris reads screens. Look at this. How the fuck am
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I supposed to read that shit? Your new rock is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a very sensitive pet and may be slightly traumatized from
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: all the handling and shipping required bringing the two of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you together. Stop. While you may look in on your
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: own pet from time to time, it is essential that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you leave your rock in its box for a few days.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I already opened it. I had to open it to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: get this. That's so not helpful. It is advised that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you set the box in an area of your home
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that is to become your own pet. What? It literally
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: has a little picture. It's making me think that this
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is real. Is it a living thing? Oh my God,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: there's so many instructions. Honestly, I'd buy it just for
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: this little damn book. I'm gonna read this tonight. This
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: is so funny! Command gently but firmly. It teaches you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: how to- how to command it to come. I love
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: this so much. This is so funny! Play dead? Are
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you f * * * ing serious? Health care? Holy shit,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: whoever wrote this is a comedic genius. I'm in love
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: with this so far. It comes with little googly eyes
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and a little- little wig. Looks like a little pry
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: gay wig, which I love. Oh my gosh, look at
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: my rock! Guys, and it's not an ordinary rock. Look
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: at him! He's so cute! Aww, and look at his
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: little- his little bed rest. Okay, I gotta keep him
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in there for 72 hours, though. Oh my god, can
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you just put the hair on? Is it sticky? I'll
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: dress him up. One sec. Look at him! Oh, he's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: so cute! Oh, I'm gonna put him right up here.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: He's gonna live right there. Name him in the comments.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: 10 out of 10. Next. Um, next up we got
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: this terrifying contraption. Bozo, the original, the world's most famous clown.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I hate balloons and I hate clowns. What is this?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Quite literally a clown balloon. I don't even remember purchasing this.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done it. But it's here and it
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: looks scary as hell. But yeah, it says The original
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: first ever Bozo bop bag is back. Last seen in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the 1960s, Bozo returns with all of his original bop
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: bag features, including Bozo's squeaky nose. Fun for ages 3
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to 103. Who the fuck 103 is playing with this shit?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: This would give me a heart attack if I was 103.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It would give me a heart attack if I was 3.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I'd be a little toddler coming up to this thing,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: just be like... Yeah, and Bozo the Clown, honestly, just
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: makes me think of John Wayne Gacy. So, this is
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: just terrible. And I don't know how big it is,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: but I'm scared it's gonna be really big. So let's,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: let's take it out. Oh god. But the best results
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: inflate by blowing into valve with mouth only. As opposed
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to what, my f * * * ing asshole? We're
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: three multiples of- Oh, I'm gonna be here for eight
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: years blowing this shit up? Oh my god, it just
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: goes on forever! That's what she said. Alright, well I'm
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: gonna blow this guy and I'll be right back. Shut up.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I passed out four times, and I think I saw
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ playing Texas Hold'em with Gandhi. But I'm done,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and all I have to say is, what the hell?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: What in the nightmare fucking fuel shit is that? Look
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: at this shit. This thing is terrifying. It's the size
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of a giant child. I don't know how big kids are,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but I do think that this is good and that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this is good for Pete because I think the point
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of this thing is to beat the shit out of
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it and you know, you know we're gonna test it out.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: This could be your replacement. Here we go. Let him
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: have it, boys. Oh, does it bounce back up? Oh,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you gotta be kid- Oh wait, this thing is awesome. Wait,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: this thing is- BOOM! Wait, come back up. Come back up, bitch. What,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you scared? What, you... Sorry, I didn't mean to T-Pain.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what T-Pain did. He's gonna be in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the back of the videos. Pete, watch this. This is happening.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: History's happening, guys. I'm shaking his hand. Shaking his... No, no! Look,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: now I just have two to choose from to beat
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the shit out of. This is great. Bozo the Clown,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you are at a 20 out of 10. I highly
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: recommend this. This is probably so fun for kids. There's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: clearly some unresolved issues that should clearly be talked about
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: in therapy happening in this video, and thank goodness because
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: BetterHelp is sponsoring this video. Thank you to BetterHelp for
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: sponsoring this video. It is the new year, and what
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the new year brings resolutions, and for me personally, I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: have been working on my mental health and bettering it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: for a long time now. But for this year, I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: really want to focus on making sure that I am
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: important in my life and my mental health is very
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: important and BetterHelp is helping with that for me. Like
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: my therapist recommended making SMART goals, which are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and time-bound goals. And those have really helped propel me
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to where success with my mental health personally. And BetterHelp
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in general just makes starting therapy a lot less intimidating
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: because it allows you to have therapy sessions online. You
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: don't have to be driving to a place and meeting
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: somebody in person. I think that kind of helps make
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it more comfortable, especially for me, like being able to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: do phone calls or face-to-face calls or even just texting,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: puts a lot of the pressure off of me. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I find that a lot of people prefer that to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: traditional therapy. Plus, It doesn't cost as much as your
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: traditional in-person face-to-face therapy. And BetterHelp also offers financial aid.

  Speaker 1: video and let's get back to it. Next up, monkeys
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in a barrel. How fun. I never actually played with these.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe once. I don't even know what you do with them, honestly.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: What's more fun than monkeys in a barrel? Marketed as
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: being more fun than a barrel of monkeys. This game
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: was introduced in 1966. Wow, that was three years before
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: my mother was born. Sorry for outing you, mom, on
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: your age. The object of the game was to link
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: all of the brightly colored plastic monkeys together as you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: pulled them out of the barrel. Okay, that seems pretty...
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Pretty simple, I guess. So you have to pull them
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: out in a- in a line. I just thought you
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: had to, like, connect them yourself. But this, honestly, just
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: for this little adorable barrel. Are you kidding me? I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: love this, okay? It's, uh, one plus players and it's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: three years old enough. Thank God. I'm 27. We're gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: be alright. Ooh, okay, fun. Comes in a little plastic bag. Ah,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: look at the little monkeys! Okay, so... You have to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: try to pull them out all in one. Oh, I see,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I see, I see. You got a hook. Oh shit,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: did I lose already? God damn it. I feel like
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of games back in the day were very
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: much based on like dexterity and education in weird ways.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And nowadays, I think it is too, like on iPads
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but this is more like physical, which I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: like personally. Oh, this is going good. Oh shit. Oh yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Grab on your brother. Sorry. Give me that one like
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a five. Maybe a four. Everybody's got to make it
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: out of the barrel. We're stuck in the ocean. There
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we go. Okay, grab it. Grab it. Yes. Yes. No. Grab.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. This is so satisfying. Yes, I am 27,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: but I still have childlike wonderment within me. And you're
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: never too old to play with toys. Thumbs up. I'm not,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna waste this. Never too old to play
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: with toys. Oh my gosh. Look at this. Look at
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: this line of monkeys. Oh, I can do it. I
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: can do it. I can do it. I can feel it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: How the f- Would a three-year-old do this? Riddle me that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Fuck them three-year-olds, bitch. I got this. That was fun
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: as fuck. Kind of only like once. It's fun like
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: once in a blue moon or you're like, hey, can
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: you get all the monkeys out of a barrel? I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: got a party, you know, you're hitting on a girl
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and you're just like, you have a drink, but then
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you pull out your barrel and you're like, I'll take
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you home if you can get all these monkeys out
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: of this barrel in one line. Anyway, I give this
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: like a five out of 10. It's fun. Next! Okay,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: next up, it's broken, but it's the broken precision gyroscope.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: They first appeared in the 1960s following the invention of
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the laser and the development of fiber optics. Optical gyroscopes
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: have the advantages of excellent measurement accuracy and have no
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: moving parts and thus no friction. The first ring laser
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: gyroscope was built in 1963 by Masek and Davis. Probably
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: got your names wrong, sorry. So this is a 60s toy.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm digging it. This looks very cool. I think
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you can like balance this. Like gyroscopes is something that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: can maintain its balance. For those of you who don't know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I'll read a proper description of what a gyroscope is
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: because I'll fuck it up. A device consisting of a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: wheel or disc mounted so that it can spin rapidly
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: about on axis, which is itself free to alter in direction.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: The orientation of the axis is not affected by the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: tilting of the mounting. So gyroscope can be used to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: provide stability and maintain a reference direction and navigation system,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: automatic pilots and stabilizers. What the fuck did we do
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it for, Giles? But it is, I think it's really cool.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: They have this like case and then they tell you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: how to use it on the back. The gyroscope demonstrates
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the scientific principles of Newton's laws of motion, gyroscopic balance
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and center of gravity. I think that's fun. This is
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: what I mean about like learning with physical toys. I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: think that's fun. I think that's great. To spin precision gyroscope,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: feed the T handle through the notched opening at the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: lower end. Make sure the T, I don't need to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: read the instructions. I know how to use this. Okay,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this is from the 60s and I'm smart. We have
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: this thing. Ooh, it's like a Beyblade. You guys know Beyblades?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Get in line. Oh yeah, you shove it in there. Oh,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and then it has this little TP ring thing. I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: don't really know what it's called. So I think we
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: spin it. Beyblade, oh wait, shit. Oh, I did it. Okay,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: so it's spinning and I think you can balance it. Oh,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: it's like magic. What? What the, that's so cool. I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: think you can put it on a flat surface, but
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that's lame. This I can get behind. This I would
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: have brought to school as a kid and just like, okay.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: If I can balance this, I'm going to be so happy. What? Oh,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: science is so cool. Just bring this into the bar. Hey,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you like that? It's a gyroscope. And I'll gyroscope your vagina.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: 10 out of 10. Next. All right, next up we
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: got Pop and Catch. Which I remember one of my
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: friends had this as a kid and we would play
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it all the time in her backyard. But this is
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: cool because it actually goes back to like the 16th
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: century in ancient Greece where they had that little wooden
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: cup and then a ball on a string that you
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: would try to get back into the cup and that
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. But this is a little bit more advanced, okay?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Let's see how it works. Play anywhere. Lightweight, durable design.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: No slip, comfort, grip. Set includes two launchers and two balls. Okay. Ooh.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Look at that, that's pretty cool. They're like baskets. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: guess you kind of need a friend to play this,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: but originally I tried to find a child to test
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: these out with, not in a weird way, just in a,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: you know, scientific way to see if kids actually these
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: days would like this. But I feel like I got
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a good grip on that, you know, like I was
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: born at a time where these toys were very relevant,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: but then I have younger siblings, like 13 years younger
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: than me that grew up with iPads and stuff. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like I get, again, a little mix of both. Sorry,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I forgot I did that. It like pops up. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: don't know if you can see that. pops up the ball.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: They're like little ping pong balls. Oh my gosh, this
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: is like an entry into beer pong. It's kind of dope. Actually,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: this would be cool, beer pong. Let's see. Oh shit,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: that really f * * * ing goes. That was
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: so cool. It goes so far. Oh, that's hard. Okay,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I gotta play with myself. Shut up. I'm excited because
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I have all these toys and I have a nephew,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna give probably most of these to him.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Anyone's Jessica doesn't want me to give her child, I'll
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: just give to kids in need for sure. Let's try
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: this out. Oh shit, it goes like really high. I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: like gotta go on the ground. I'm not dexter, dexter, dexterous,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: dexterous enough for this. Oh, I did it. I did it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Dude, this is good for like hand-eye coordination. Kevin,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this is pretty good. This is pretty good. Shit. Bitch. Jake,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: can you get a replay? All right, Todd. Now, if
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you take a closer look at this, you can see
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in her face that she just is not moving at all.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It's coming down on her and boom, right in the face.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: One and done. Okay, I really like this. I would
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like play this with my nephew until the end of time.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: 10 out of 10. Next up, we have one of
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: my favorites and most anticipated, the light bright. Oh, these
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are so cool. At one point, we had one of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: these in the house, but there was like five of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: us kids, so it was like, I would never get
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a turn. So I feel like I didn't really get
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the experience of the light bright, but the history of
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it is. In 1966, a New York window display featuring
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: hundreds of colored lights inspired toy creators Marvin Glass and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Henry Stan and Burt Meyer. Convinced they could design and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: build a play thing employing this concept, they simplified and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: streamlined the idea and reduced the light source to a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: 25 watt light bulb. So, these are the 60s too.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: The 60s are having a good time. We had Light
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Brights and Bozo the Clown and just a plethora of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: cults and serial killers. If you haven't watched these videos,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you should. But let's try it out. This just has like, uh, uh,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the three double, double D, no, double D batteries. Boobs
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: on the brain, I don't know why. Uh, AA batteries.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And then it's just got a big-ass power button in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the back. And then you got all the little Light Brights.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like this shouldn't be for little toddlers. Cause
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: these are very, they look like pills. They look like
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you could swallow them. Probably not for toddlers and depressed fifties,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: middle-aged trad wives, but I'm sorry. That's terrible. But they
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: got these little things that like penetrate the board. And
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: then they also have like these stencils. If you're like
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a dumb kid and don't know how to be creative
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: on your own, they have like these stencils that you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: can use. I'm just kidding. I definitely use these stencils.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: It's really cool. And then you can like make it
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and it's like bright and light. We're not going to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: use it though. Because we're creative. I'm going to do
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a portrait of you. So we're going to turn this on.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Off you go, ladies. Put it in here. Oh, and see,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: it glows. I don't know if you can tell. It's glowing.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: It is glowing. That's pretty cool. All right, I'm going
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to draw you. Just stay still. There we go. Look
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: at that. I made you you're smirking like that, right?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Are you doing this? This thing is awesome. I would
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: play with this all day if I was a kid, honestly. Honestly,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like now, it's just fun to like put these things
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in and watch it light up. Just like. Ah, it's
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: like magic. It's so fun. I give this a 10
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: out of 10 too. I feel like this is a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: good thing to get a kid, you know, take up time. Next.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: All right, now we got the Lincoln Logs. I never
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: got these as a kid. Lincoln Logs. I've heard lots
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of good things. I feel like America's National Tour, Sawmill
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Train Express, Real Wood Logs. Are they real wood? Oh,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that's really cool. That's fun. The Lincoln Logs were invented
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: sometime around 1916 to 1917 when John Lloyd Wright, of
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: course it was John Lloyd Wright, what a name, was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: working in Japan with his father. The mold for the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: toy was based on the architecture of the Imperial Hotel
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: in Tokyo designed by the inventor's father. That's really cool.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I really like learning the history of these toys. It's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: such a simple toy. It's like the original Lego. Lego
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: could never. Who is she? We don't know her. Only
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Logs. It's three and up. Thank God. It's three
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and up and I can't. Figure out how to f
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: * * * ing open it. Okay, so it opens
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: up like this. Wow, look at that! It's like a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: little train! Aww, I want to give this to George! Wow,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: there's a lot. Wow, this is real wood. This is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: gonna take a long time. Oh god, there's a little
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: horse in there! Oh, he's so cute! Oh shit, this
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: is gonna take eight f * * * ing years.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: What the hell? I don't know how I'm gonna do this.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I just want to see how the Lincoln Logs work,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to be honest. That's all I really care about. So
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I guess you just... You just stick them on each
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: other like that. This is how people build log cabins.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: A little tiny house. Oh, there we go. Oh, we
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: got the bottom ones with like half the piece. This
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: will be good. That's fun. Oh, do you do it
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: like that? Oh, they got like little half pieces. I see.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I see. Okay. Like that. And then you do a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: full one. Oh, how fun. That makes sense. Oh my God.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Look at that. Look at that short little house that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I built. A family of hobbits can live in this house.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Let's get this train out. Let's get this caboose out
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: this bag. Look at that. Wow, real wheels. Look at that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: You're going to the mental institution. I give it a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: 10 out of 10. Okay, everybody, I hope you enjoyed
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the video. I know I did. I got a lot
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: of play into it. I'm tired. These are good. If
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you get some of your kids these toys, or if
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: you're a kid, get these toys. I don't know, just
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: steal your parents' credit card. Don't do that. But if
• 22:20
