My mom Kept mine in a shoe box in the attic for 20 some years w other toys after I got married w kids she brought out the box of toys for my kids to play w Little behold they’re in there about 200 in mint condition She said she kept my toys so my kids can play w them the cards I took them before my kids can
old_school_4ever I left home at 16 (in 1988) and took my belongings to a friend of the families house. I recently found out that, 32 years later, that friend still has *one box* of my possessions, and it’s filled with my GPK!! He was going to mail them to me, but I didn’t want to chance them getting damaged, lost, or stolen in transit. Instead, I asked him just to send me a few of them; and I received 7 of them in the mail today. Of course, now that I have a few of them, I want to see the rest of them even more!
1986, I was going on 13. Born in 73. I loved my GPK card collection. Still have it with all my other fun 80s stuff. Good times!!! I still remember kids in the last year of elementary school having their cards taken from them, and never getting them back. That stopped me completely from taking mine to class. There was no way I was losing my collection.
34 years later and I'm still collecting them, the appeal has always been the amazing artwork, that's what has kept them popular even in the year 2020... I actually laid down $1,000 on ebay for a nice 1st series set and never blinked because the set to me is worth that and more.....
I stopped collecting them about 10 years ago when the prices began to get out of hand. I decided yesterday I'm going to start selling off my collection.
I’m a late 90s baby, so this was years before my time. I just heard about these today. WOW the 80s were innocent. If something like this was a big enough problem to make the news back in the 80s, it must have been a simpler time to be alive. Today’s children truly have it the worst with how degenerate our society is today, but I have to say, I wish I’d known a time that was this simple and envy you if you do.
This made me really happy! As a female gpk fanatic, I love to see little girls buying the cards too. This was as punk as a 7- 10 year old could be at the time LOL
Ah...this was great. For all of the faults still around in the 1980s, they were a magical time, and it appears they will have been the best time of my life. So happy I was born an 80s kid, I feel like there was really little as great as them outside of perhaps the 50s kids. Sadly, any GPK items I had were lost when our family lost everything except some clothes and a few photo albums. It has been so long since I've seen the stuff form my childhood at this point that I'll never remember all of it, no matter how much I try to piece back together what we had. That said, at least I can work to collect perhaps some of the things I care about and can recall. I'm super excited about the new NES cartridge that's being made about GPK, coming out sometime early next year (hopefully).
I would of murder his ass and take over like Me as Principal: Damn That Card Look Sick Son Show to Your Friend Hahahahaa (Light My Cigarette and Just Hanging Out)
I was born in 1975 . in 1988 i started collecting GPK and i still have my garbage pail kids from 1988, And right now it's 2024, and I'm still collecting the garbage pail kids after all those years
I was hooked on these cards. It was fun as a kid. It was funny to me. It was just a card. I loved collecting baseball cards a little more because they were worth a lot more money but i wish i still had all my cards just to remember my childhood of the 80s and show them to my kids one day. Haha
I was 9 years old in 1986 and loved GPK. I still have a stack with a rubber band wrapped around it. Would still trade some of my doubles for your milk money :)
Well, you see this was the eighties. It might have been before you were born. Back in that time, adults were far more modest than a lot of adults today. In the childhoods of the people who were adults during the eighties, they obviously never would have been subjected to repulsively nasty illustrated cards like the Garbage Pail Kids. The first time I ever bought a pack of five was when I was nine years old in 1988. My mother was so disgusted by those cards that she nearly wrote a letter of complaint to the Topps company. For my sake, she didn't and I started collecting them. By today's standards, if they brought those cards back into stores and started selling them to kids, I highly doubt their parents would care one bit! Things change as time goes by. ~Dutch
@@YouCantHoldOnTooLong I grew up in the 2000s and early 2010s so that's why lol. Except, parents especially moms from the 2000s were triggered by Bratz dolls and claiming that those dolls are too slutty and inappropriate looking for little girls to play with (fashion doll line) and I researched about that last year. That's about it.
i never had a big collection growing up in the 80s but recently decided to recollect these. you can still get full sets of the original series on ebay in excellent/near mint condition. also reasonably priced depending on which series. series 4 and 5 are going for $40 each. and once these sets are gone they're gone for good this time. series 1 and 2 are sold out
Man the memories. I remember, I was about 10 years old when this aired, and saw it on CBS. Today first series Garbage Pail Kids graded at a mint 10 can run you in the thousands of dollars.
Wish i was there 🙄 don't know anything before 1994. Not a bad thing, 90s and early 2000s were awesome but, hell I'd have loved to been born way earlier to experience all the really cool stuff
1:34 This is why, when you grow up and become dads and moms, you have to remember what its like being a kid, they don't see things adults do, they don't know, many things go over their heads, but you better believe mother will be clutching her pearls anyway, as if it didn't go over your head, making a mountain out of a molehill.
It"s tortures me to see all these kids with their greasy hands just chucking them around. Those very cards are worth thousands today. I still have my collection but I don't have many 1st or 2nd series.
At least Pokemon TCG (both WOTC and TPC International variations) is literally popular in school districts TCG - Trading Card Game WOTC - Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro) TPC - The Pokemon Company (Nintendo)
The one kid complaining she can’t play with the cards during recess so what to do? Go friggin play! Lol. I loved my garbage pail collection and still have them from the 80’s, but I never knew or heard of a way to “play” with them. I just collected them and if I had doubles I’d trade for cards I didn’t have.
I am drooling right now i havent seen that in more than thirty years in Argentina we had them in the early 90's, did You have the just balls with the faces?🤤😭
You know in a way the GPK cards teached kids some history as many cards parodied presidents, celebrities, sports figures, historical moments that while portrayed in a disgusting manner made us kids pay attention even if we weren't learning at school.
33 years later and I still have my collection.

I had the whole 4th series and almost the whole 3rd.

old_school_4ever omg I’m so jealous, I wish I had mine...
Good for you
How ironic is it that the reporter's name is Terry Drinkwater 🤣
I can see the card now!! Bhahahahahaah
Simpler times, if cards were the worst thing to bring to school now than we would be in a great place
I still wish it was the 80s
Me 2 😥
It was better then you could just have fun with no f****** agenda
80s I love the 80s
best decade ever, now kids watch shit like the Minions.
Same
2019 and i would love to take these grown ups in a time machine to today and show them the things kids play with today they would die instantly.
😅😅😅

Wow! 80s innocence i miss those days
We needed more people like Irene, back then.
"We can't even play with them at recess. What are we suppose to do juat sit there?" Lmao. How i felt about Pogs when i was in elementary.

damn a cool 1k huh. to reach their own. I love them just not that much lol.
I put all mine all over my notebooks, Folders and Trapper Keeper, Remember that and Jams shorts, Fat shoelaces and girls had plastic braclets? LOL
Weren't they discontinued from 1989 to 2002 and rereleased in 2003?
yes, there were no GPK's in the 90s@@earthsurgery1237

I'm from 81. The "new" times creeped up into the 80's with the drug and gang wars ramping up. It was the last times of good community in America.
This made me really happy! As a female gpk fanatic, I love to see little girls buying the cards too. This was as punk as a 7- 10 year old could be at the time LOL

I hope you are doing ok ☺️
I have a new collection😊
That principal looks drunk!
Petemejia77 It was the 80s man, I'm sure the guy had a flask in his desk
That was not uncommon
I would of murder his ass and take over like
Me as Principal: Damn That Card Look Sick Son Show to Your Friend Hahahahaa
(Light My Cigarette and Just Hanging Out)
Frank Joseph Jaeger are you high?
I suspected a principle I had was drinking something other than coffee out of their cup it looked to light like apple juice could have been beer.
My sister just gave me a mint collection she found in the garbage of all places.
Being a kid in the 80s was awesome.
A round of applause for Irene, the child counselor. She gets it.
Still collecting in 2018. Forever Janet Planet is my favorite. Garbage Pail Kids will never go away! 💚💚💚
It’s weird to think that all these kids are grown up now and probably have kids if there own now. Wow time flies.🙁 😊
More like grandparents by now
@@cjfamily5838 no not that yet
The good old days 🙌
Brings back a lot of memories.
I was born in 1975 . in 1988 i started collecting GPK and i still have my garbage pail kids from 1988, And right now it's 2024, and I'm still collecting the garbage pail kids after all those years
Damn the 80s was the best.....i miss it so much....like if you agree
80s girl here! Yes I wish so badly we could go back. For kids nowadays, it's a losing battle!
these forever have a special place in my heart!!
I'm still obsessed with GPK!
I was hooked on these cards. It was fun as a kid. It was funny to me. It was just a card. I loved collecting baseball cards a little more because they were worth a lot more money but i wish i still had all my cards just to remember my childhood of the 80s and show them to my kids one day. Haha
Happy to have experienced the 80s in Europe.....nothing was banned here and we always traded these during recess! hahaha
It wasn't banned in all US schools just some schools probably less than half but enough of a fuss to make the evening news.
lol @ them being there too.
I was born in 79. Growing up in the 80s was the best time in human history to be a kid! I consider myself very lucky!
I was 9 years old in 1986 and loved GPK. I still have a stack with a rubber band wrapped around it. Would still trade some of my doubles for your milk money :)
A little bit disgusting.
That's why I've always loved 'em!
My dad had these cards and now i have them.
I think these cards make me laugh just by looking at them
I was 11yo - seems like if you were born in ‘75 you were just in time for EVERYTHING! (Except the bicentennial is a bit fuzzy)
I still have mine - it was awesome, still is
I’ll betcha kids back then got a real laugh whenever they would share Garbage Pail cards with their friends!
If they could see the future and how “anti social” kids are now. Having Garbage Pail Kids cards on them would be like carrying a Bible.
That psychologist hit on the head 👍
I so remember this begging my mom and dad to let me see this in theaters.
The movie sucked lol
In recent times, students bring items to school that can potentially cause harm and destruction. Some individuals appreciate growing up in the 1990s.
All the kids in this news cast are now in their mid 40s with Grey hair and a mortgage.
Back when kids were normal.
2022 and they have the song wet ass p**** on cable TV.. how far We've fallen
These adults have no fun and it triggers them 😂

:54, that's me still!!😂😂
38 years later and i still have my collection of Garbage Pail Kids!
I was the kid sitting on the side lines cause my parents didn’t let me have them. Now at 45, I have my own small collection. I love it
I collected gpk in the mid 1980s. My teacher eventually banned them from her classroom.
Peeling Paul used to gross me out but I genuinely loved them..
G.P.K. cards were not banned at my grade school. We traded them at school at lunch and recess. The teachers just didn't want them out in class.
Me screaming “Noooooo!” As that little boy rubber banded his card stack..
all this over reacted l had tons of garbage pails and l turned out fine
according to who?
@@darkdojo His Mum 😜
Those were the days! Oh how i miss that magical time!
All I keep thinking when watching this is “OMFG put them in a top loader” 😂😂
To be honest these are actually pretty gruesome
the thing hasnt passed. im a junior in highschool and i love these cards. i wish my dad kept his
i never had a big collection growing up in the 80s but recently decided to recollect these. you can still get full sets of the original series on ebay in excellent/near mint condition. also reasonably priced depending on which series. series 4 and 5 are going for $40 each. and once these sets are gone they're gone for good this time. series 1 and 2 are sold out
My cousin had a stash of these. When I was 8 or 9 and we hung out, we had so much fun with them. Once our parents found out, we were grounded.
Sometimes here and there I’ve seen the stickers on furniture
I loved my Garbage Pail Kids.
I had so many i wish i still had mine we had fun as kids playing with them wow great child hood memories
Loved these cards as a kid !

"Old Man Yells at Cloud" in tv news form.
It"s tortures me to see all these kids with their greasy hands just chucking them around. Those very cards are worth thousands today. I still have my collection but I don't have many 1st or 2nd series.
when i was a kid i never heard of the movie or the cards
But what they didn’t know is that it did in past 33 years later and garbage pail kids are still around
At least Pokemon TCG (both WOTC and TPC International variations) is literally popular in school districts
TCG - Trading Card Game
WOTC - Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro)
TPC - The Pokemon Company (Nintendo)
My 8yo daughter just told me that she wanted some of these. I told her that I was either 3 or 4 when this aired.
Principal Bundy must have been a lot of fun at parties.
No kid, don’t rubber band them. Now they’re no longer mint.
I loved these. I had a sticker collection book.
These came out as a slam towards Cabbage Patch Kids, which were extremely popular at the time. Another thing, they weren’t cards, they were stickers.
The 80's may have produced some great pop culture but its social aspects were uptight and anxiety-ridden.
if the packs were still 25c, i would have about 10,000 1st series packs.
The newsmedia actually took this very seriously.
Wow that brought me back.
Yeah and guess what those cards are worth a fortune graded and in mint condition. But I love collecting them even the ones today.
I was in preschool or first grade and some kid up the street gave me a giant stack of them I was a very happy kid :]
Obsessed with rhe whole "disgusting death" 😂😂😂 WHAT! LMAOOO
Thanks for the rerpot.
The one kid complaining she can’t play with the cards during recess so what to do?
Go friggin play! Lol.
I loved my garbage pail collection and still have them from the 80’s, but I never knew or heard of a way to “play” with them. I just collected them and if I had doubles I’d trade for cards I didn’t have.
I still have my GPK cards from the 80s. I bought the new GPK cereal and GPK hot sauce yesterday and will also have them in my 80s..haha
I remember them man I’m old
I still have my collection
omfg wrapping your deck with rubber bands. This is so cute lmao
It’s 2024 and GPK is still going strong 💪
If you practice laughing, that's how you know you're not a kid anymore.
We need chadtronic
*exactly*
I just hate when grown ups control what kids can have and play with. It ticks me off.
I am drooling right now i havent seen that in more than thirty years in Argentina we had them in the early 90's, did You have the just balls with the faces?🤤😭
Here from the Always Sunny Pod
I remember when I got an adam bomb card. my dad used modge podge and put adam on a hat without my permission. I was devastated
It's the latest Pokemon craze back in the 90s except now it's the 80s
They are a parody of the Cabbage Patch Kids.
Got a box unopened from 1985 still
Oh I know Pokémon made these adults SICK in the 90s
I started collecting Garbage Pail Kids in the first grade and stopped collecting them around the fourth grade because I lost interest in them by then.
You know in a way the GPK cards teached kids some history as many cards parodied presidents, celebrities, sports figures, historical moments that while portrayed in a disgusting manner made us kids pay attention even if we weren't learning at school.
