I was born in 1998, so I grew up in the 2000s, but I still remember a lot of these things. Captain Underpants, Nickelodeon shows like Kenan and Kel, Drake and Josh, and the cartoons, along with I Spy and more, were such huge parts of a happy childhood. I remember all of those things very fondly. It almost seemed like times were simpler back then.
Some of these definitely overlap decades. Lava lamps were 70s but did make a comeback late 90s. Cat's Cradle is mentioned in the Little House on the Prairie series, so much older than 1990s
The Cats Cradle is really old, the first known reference is in The light of nature pursued by Abraham Tucker in 1768. But it was probably around way before that! This really is History!
This was more about being a '90s kid than growing up in the '90s, so you were at a bit of a disadvantage. I was born in 1991, and I definitely remembered quite a number of those toys.
Others have already probably said this, but much of this like the magic eight ball the lava lamp the light bright are 1970s or earlier. Your bewilderment was hilarious.
I was born in '97 But I remember seeing commercials for these growing up through the 2000's 8:50 That episode is still scary to me, after all these years
I saw a meme of Star Wars with Mace Windu representing 1990-1997 kids and Anakin Skywalker representing 1998-1999 kids. "You're on this council, but we don't grant you the rank of master". I was born in 1997, but I don't consider myself to be a 90s kid. My memories come more from the 2000s and I call myself a 00s kid. I get nostalgic a lot more often since today's time is not the greatest time to live in due to social media being everywhere, especially on our phones. Oh by the way, I loved Toy Story and Blue's Clues as a kid. Definitely gets me a ton of nostalgia.
@@linkmaxwell to each their own! 90s nostalgia has been around for years, sure. But now 2000s nostalgia is even colder now. The 80s, 90s and 00s were simpler times. I remember there used to be 3 K Marts in my hometown. And now K Mart as a whole is now gone.
I was REALLY into Cartoons as a kid in the 2000s. Blues Clues was one of my favorites, but The Wiggles was my go to show, which really got me into music. All Cartoons you guessed: . I watched them too.
Moon Shoes are actually a pretty famous toy, or infamous rather. They were HUGELY popular and immediately recalled when kids started dislocating or breaking their ankles due to the torque put on them if you were to land wrong and fall over.
Born in 96, I feel like a lot of this stuff didn't become mainstream until the early 2000's. Because I either owned or used 90% of these items. Or my parents were cheap lol
I was born in the late 80s so was a child throughout the 90s. Except for three of the books and one TV show, I had seen all the rest of them and knew them as soon as I saw them, I just didn't know what some of the names of the toys were. I also thought that was Nat Geo magazine at first, but I have never heard of that magazine series. I had several lava lamps in the early 2000s. My sister who is a bit younger than me had moonshoes and mood rings and I remember thinking Moonshoes were cool until I saw them in person and didn't like them so much. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is one of my favourite shows. I think at one point, I watched one episode in order every few days for about 4 years (don't know why I did that).
Zoobooks had a commercial that ran on Nick practically every break. I don't think I read a single issue but I recognized that damn camel the second it appeared on screen...
I was 13 when Kurt Cobain died. My dad took me to the vigil in Seattle. We lived 45 minutes away. That was probably the biggest cultural event I’ve been to.
I was born in 1977 and yeah, there were many entries that had me stumped. Mainly those kids toys. Meanwhile, I can still name even supporting characters in 80's cartoons lol.
Yeah, this was more a video for Millennials - it helped to be a younger kid in the 90s for this quiz. All the cartoons they showed were stuff that you would watch if you were in elementary/middle school during the decade.
The 80's and 90's were the best time to be a kid, the music, the movies, the cartoons and toys we even had actual snow days for school not because it was "too cold". In literally every way, the last time of innocence in a sense. I may be bias but I'm also right!
Never had any snap bracelet… until recenty: the reflective ones that (hopefully) make you more noticeable to drivers (and bicyclists). Actually, you may have noticed a “toxic yellow” one rolled up on my bag 🙂
Rugrats and rocket power were done by the same animation group, always had the same style so I can see how you'd confuse the two. And to your credit, a lot of the stuff you didn't know, especially the shows lean pretty late in the decade
A lot of things in this videos were things that were making a comeback in the '90s. I was born in the late '60s and recognized many of these things from my childhood in the '70s -- Lite Brite, Mouse Trap, Socker Boppers, Cat's Cradle, Lava Lamps, mood rings, among others were all very familiar to me from that '70s. We didn't have K'Nex but we did have Tinker Toys, which were similar (although I'm old enough to remember the wooden tinker toys). Some, like Cat's Cradle, have been around for centuries.
Mouse Trap was definitely and 70's game that got a reboot in the 90's. I love Mouse Trap. So much of this is rebooted from the 60's and 70's. Rugrats was the best show.
Now, it is true, that the GameBoy was in black and white. But IIRC, the games (or some games?) have colour information so if you put your GB games in a Super Game Boy and use it with your SNES, you will see the games with some colour.
I feel like this is a quiz for 90s kids, or like kids who were born in the 90s. As a guy born in 2001, a lot of the things here you didn’t recognize were very familiar to me
Edit: overall, a very enjoyable video. My reaction below was just this Huh??? moment I could not shake ☺️ After re-reading, it might seem my reaction to the video as a whole was negative and felt it was important to state that is not the case. Refreshing to see/hear another’s perspectives. Although you thought you’d do better, it still seemed like you did very well. Acknowledging gaps and where you thought your kids would know things you might not was a testament as to how others’ experiences can help us understand more about ourselves, other individuals and the world we live in/times we we live through. Major props! ___ original post The most shocking thing to me though was the comment about PlayStation being 1st “real console” Like, WHAAAAT??? (Siri/Alexa/Google, please show “what ‘chu talkin’ about Willis?” level disbelief here 😮) Did you forget about Nintendo (NES)??? Although it’s an 80s release it’s by far thought to be the system that transitioned from basic early home consoles like Pong/Atari (which we had) to “real” video game consoles. I mean yeah, Sega Genesis was there too, but most people I knew were Nintendo houses. Most of we knew were buying Nintendo 64s over PlayStation’s. At that time we couldn’t afford either. We played our NES/SuperNES or what was at others’ houses 🫣 and I never had an opportunity to play the PlayStation. Just never saw one in anyone’s house. Knew just one household that had a Sega Genesis. Wow, totally 🤯
I might have been a little old for most of these questions. I recognized a lot of them, I'm assuming from commercials, but couldn't remember their names. So, I wouldn't have received a passing grade on this test.
Dang, I just realized, the first video from your page is 2 years ago! Dang I just responded with a comment. How about an update? Excited to follow your life!
That's cause you and I are old, my guy. Hahha. A *lot* of these were when we were in College/Graduating (Late 90s) So I'm not surprised you don't remember a lot of the newer cartoons, etc.
Why did the portable cd player say “playing cds - Walkman”. A Walkman played cassettes. The cd version was a discman. Also why are lava lamps on there? They’re 60s or 70s
Good Burger was a skit on All That at first before it became the movie. Kennan and Kel also had their own sitcom for a while
All That! might as well have been called Saturday Night Live: Kids Edition
I was born in 1998, so I grew up in the 2000s, but I still remember a lot of these things.

This feels very 90s, early 2000s childhood. I knew most of them and owned most of the toys, was born mid 90s
Was born the last day of 96, and I agree. Almost knew all of these gadgets.
1996 gang, baby! My back hurts!
@@jonathanrichwine1996 Watch @kneesovertoesguy and do those movements. You’re welcome.
I was born in 1992 so definitely knew quite a few of them
@@phillipmoore6249 My birthday is 12/21/96 😅

Lite-Brite is 1960’s too as is Mouse Trap.
The picture of duck tales is from the reboot series too. This was either made by someone born around 2010 or an AI
I was born in 1990 and remember more of these. I think a lot of this stuff was later in the 90s. Crazy how long ago this was.
The Cats Cradle is really old, the first known reference is in The light of nature pursued by Abraham Tucker in 1768. But it was probably around way before that! This really is History!
I remember it more early '80s than '90s.
RIP to The Smash Mouth singer who passed away a few months ago
This was more about being a '90s kid than growing up in the '90s, so you were at a bit of a disadvantage.

The three worst words from the ‘90’s:
Dial-Up Internet Modem
Dude… it’s now playing in my head and still waiting to hear it connect 🫨😭
AOL was amazing at the time. When the internet actually connected it was so exciting
I am surprised that the show Seinfeld wasn't on this list.
Most of these things are for children, and Seinfeld wasn't really a kids' show!
Chris remembering, IMO, the most memorable part of Courage the cowardly Dog that still gives most kids that watched it nightmares
Mouse trap was great, but did anyone have all the pieces after more than 4 plays? Especially with siblings
Ghost of King Ramses: Return the Slab...
Eustace: (trying to sell it) ...What's your offer?!
Chris you were too kind about those Converse. Those things have all the feeling of wearing shoes yet none of comfort of having a pair.
MOON SHOES SEEMED SO COOL but very disapointing haha
And very hard to walk in.
I remember getting them as a kid, never been more disappointed in my life lol
Others have already probably said this, but much of this like the magic eight ball the lava lamp the light bright are 1970s or earlier. Your bewilderment was hilarious.
Mouse Trap is 1960s!
Astronomy would be great to explore on your non history channel, i don't know space always seems so fascinating to me. Great content as always sir.
I was born in '97
But I remember seeing commercials for these growing up through the 2000's
8:50
That episode is still scary to me, after all these years
11:45 haha the shadow puppet scene. "ho-ho silver, away!"
I love your content Chris. It makes my day

And Fresh Prince was one of my favorites too. I rapped the theme song in front of my friends.
I have the Fresh Prince theme song on my gym playlist. It came up in the rotation just today
You were a real one if you could rap the secret verse where he's on the airplane. They only showed that a few times. 😂
@@slimbrady6691 I knew the whole song, but when we did it at the VH1 concert, we only did the theme length.

Born 95 and this trivia feels more pointed to my generation.
Anyone who had slap bracelets is into bondage now
The Magic 8 Ball missed a great marketing opportunity. They should have called themselves the Magic Infinity Ball.
Moon Shoes are actually a pretty famous toy, or infamous rather. They were HUGELY popular and immediately recalled when kids started dislocating or breaking their ankles due to the torque put on them if you were to land wrong and fall over.

They forgot about Hey Dude lol. That was a great show
didn’t know why i was watching this born in 2001 but i ended up rmring a lot of these from my childhood!
Mousetrap was the merger of a board game and a rube Goldberg machine

Even tho I watch for the history I love your non historical reactions!
As someone born in '92. I think you did really well~! I got different ones than you but also a lot of the same ones~! This was fun!
I loved my light brite it’s been around a long time. The first one was in 1967. I got mine in the early 70s.
Half of the toys in this video are just a list of things that were banned at my elementary school LOL
My dad and Dav Pilkey were roommates at Kent State. I have some Captain Underpants autographed books somewhere.
Link's Awakening on original Gameboy was my childhood obsession
I was 13 when Kurt Cobain died. My dad took me to the vigil in Seattle. We lived 45 minutes away. That was probably the biggest cultural event I’ve been to.
My pops was cheap and seen American flag all stars on sale back in the mid nineties. I got teased for them but I really wish I had them now.
Fun times
I'm around your age and I was getting most of the cartoons. Because many of them were designed to appeal to adults too.
We got VTH talking about RETURN THE SLAB before GTA 6, crazy.

An 80s version of this would be nice
Slap bracelets were a total 80s thing. I had those in elementary school and that was in the late 80s.
I remember we had a scouser called Kevin who hosted Blue’s Clues in the UK
@@ianp1986 And here Steve was the host. But then he went to college and Along came Joe.
Soon as I read koosh ball i could recall the smell of them when they were new

I'm gonna love this. Genx baby! 😅😅😅 class of 1999.
7:20 slight correction. It was not in black and white. It was black and 50 shades of green. Also the music reminds me of dankpods.
All that and good burger started each other
I was 16 in 1990, most of these things I had never seen before!
Can't believe you didn't recognize the Doug cartoon.
Now, it is true, that the GameBoy was in black and white. But IIRC, the games (or some games?) have colour information so if you put your GB games in a Super Game Boy and use it with your SNES, you will see the games with some colour.

Mousetrap came out on 1963, I was 10 or 11 when we first got it!
A friend of mine would quote Jim Carrey movies after watching them
Chris saying not watching Johnny Bravo as a teenager made me sad. I have 2 words for you NO
That was nostalgic, even with a distinct lack of JNCO jeans. Also, don’t look up the lyrics to Macarena.
Lite bright was late 1970’s.
We had one about 1981
And Chuck Taylors are even older!
I was born in 91 and I know most of these
Born late 90s, got all the tv shows and half the toys but they were either 2000s or just way too popular like lava lamps...
The original Playstation released between 1994 and 1995.

Cat's Cradle been around since 1700 so I'm not sure that counts a 90s thing. And the magic 8 balls was invented in 1946
