Nothing like renting golden eye 2 for the PS2
Heck yeah!
Na its that game cube
I love your name. I don't know if its your real name, Ross Spencer. But it made me really laugh and smile. 😂😁 reason is because I work at a store called Ross. And I also work at a store called Spencer's. 😂😂😂 so when people ask where I work I say, "I work at Ross and Spencer's" 😂😂😂
Anyways, awesome name!! 😁😄
Goldeneye 64
I remember on the vhs “Be kind an please rewind”
haha yes!! and if you didn't rewind it, they would have to do it and then they would charge you to rewind the tape! ahh..thise were the days🎬🎥
OG!
Yeah
Yessssss
$1 fine
Blockbuster: You took everything from me...
Netflix: I don’t even know who you are.
He is the chosen one
Actually Netflix began because the guy who created Netflix didn’t like the late fees blockbuster had
@@DiamondDazzleSparkle wait really? Haha
@@DiamondDazzleSparkle I’m pretty sure they said that for marketing reason, but it may be partly true
Netflix actually offered to buy blockbuster, and they said no.
Kids don’t even know about when Netflix used to mail the movies to you
Really?
Torino Dude Productions yea dude and then they began to offer it online
used to be called redbox bro the times were good
@@JacksonOfTheJerry I still have my wii Netflix disk lol
My neighbor knew how to copy dvds so my family still has like 50 ripped movies from ordering them on Netflix and sending them back after copying them 😂
Yo your mom is the real MVP. She had your back throughout all of this.

Used to work for BlockBuster way back. I can definitely say that there were times I had to call parents of young children when they were trying to rent an M rated game or an R-rated movie without their parents around. Only time I would call for PG-13 was if they had a memo in their file saying "Please call if so-and-so is renting". Most of the times I just asked the parent when they came inside the store with the kids, and if they said yes, I left it at that. As for late-fees, my place was one that made it MANDATORY that staff check the drop off box three times a day, once in the morning, middle of day, and before close so such mistakes like that NEVER happened, almost never mind you. Nothing worse than embarrassing yourself over not properly checking in the returns... though lots of times I would have to call people about them returning just the empty case... and lots of times people did still have the movies or games, despite saying they didn't only to later come back once we told them exactly how many copies we had and the one copy that wasn't in the system was the one that was last rented by them and saying "oh, I just forgot." or "I must have mixed it in with my own collection." Wiped everything save a week late fee fine for wasting our time if they were shitty. Also true about the Netflix scenario... my manager was shaking his head saying "our company is run by stubborn idiots". Best job of my life... shame it came to an end.
Blockbuster was the shit I literally cried whenever I saw it go out
2:00 “your son is trying to a rent a movie, that’s PG-13.”

Y’all remember when Netflix used to ship in the mail?
They still have the DVD plan I believe.
YES OMG EVERYTIME I TELL MY FRIENDS THEY Don’t BELIEVE ME MY DAD USED TO GRT DVD FROM THEM ALL THE TIME
Omg yeah
They're smart for adapting with the times
You can still buy movies from them lol my grandparents have them shipped all the time
Swoozie:*twerking in the middle of Blockbuster*
Employee:How do I delete this child
I was pretty young when Blockbuster died. The fam used to go and get whatever movie and candy. The best part: mom and dad were still together.
Stacy's voice is EVERYTHING 😆😭
It's the lisp
it's an, japanimation movie
Netflix punched them so hard they literally turned to BLOCKBUSTED
.
Netflix was made for lazy people
@@elizabethmartinez9629 Not just Netflix but everything concerning cell phones. Their design is eroding mankind. A person can sit at home & do everything from shopping to music, movies ect without actually getting up.
Loren Latino yea but wouldn’t you get stuff online in 1-2 days instead of going in real life
Loren Latino ok big boomer
Loren Latino just something about what you said, how else would you get music not a home other than vinyl??? go to a concert? not many people can afford that
“Your son is here trying to rent a movie. It’s an ‘Japanimation’ movie” 2:33
Made me breathe out so hard with fury lol
I love how slick he was in the end giving us all a life lesson and damn was it deep
this gave me secondhand stress, and blockbusters frickin closed forever...
So sad need F's in chat

As sad as I was when Blockbuster was shutting down, I totally went NUTS buying stuff during their crazy closing sales 😆
PopCross Studios Art same!!! It’s so funny all the people I know we alllllllll have a shit ton of DVDs from there!!
I robbed blockbuster
@@Dafunny. That must be why they really went out of business. You ruined it for all of us you monster!!!
@@PopCross I only robbed 500 bookshelfs
@@Dafunny. Awww you def put them out of business then! Books were their best selling product for sure!
I love the message that goes with this video! We need to embrace change and not be scared of it or run from it! The world around us is changing!
I have many memories in BlockBuster as a kid of going every Friday with my dad and it was awesome
I used to work at a blockbuster for a couple of years. Since then, I'll never forget tax on $4.99.

I love how you tell stories. Thanks for sharing them with the world
I was born in 2004 and I still remember having a blockbuster down the street from my house. It was awesome.
“Let me read you the ratings really quickly...NUDITEE...adult situations...BUH-LOOD and violence...”

Imagine if u had to get ur RUclips vids at BLOCKBUSTER
That would SUC
I'd never watch a video blockbuster isnt where I live I would have to fly
gewoon Diaz lol
OoF
I'm sorry but pewdiepie's new Minecraft series is sold out BUT... We have pewdiepie vs t series
I just finally watched this video and as a EX-blockbuster employee, everything you said was spot-on. Also, when I was working a BB, there was a time when video games started to go missing and eventually they started doing one on one's and asked questions about the missing games. I'm was really worried, but at the same time, I wouldn't risk a paycheck to steal a scratchy-ass disk, and told them the truth that I did not take anything. A month later, I find out from my co-workers that BB management installed a camera outside and INSIDE the drop-box. One of the employees was CAUGHT on camera swiping a video game disk and seen putting into his pocket. Eventually I did quit blockbuster before they crumbled to dust, I could tell what was coming considering their mistake for not taking the netflix deal when they had a chance.
I miss my childhood and I remember getting my first blockbuster card when I got it when I turned 13 and I felt like I was going to a nightclub before I turned 18
We need a 7 rings cover by swoozie

LavenousForever Lol dame but I got super Mario galaxy for the wii
I was very young when my blockbuster closed, but I have memories of 3-4 yr old me running around blockbuster. The 90’s style carpeted hallways, the maze like aisles, the tall ceilings, that place was a wonderland
Love how you tell stories bro. Always brighten my mood. Thanks

Blockbuster was riiiight before my days. My hometown still had one when I was growing up, but I never saw anyone go in or out of that building. Going back years later, it's like that building is cursed. NOBODY has touched it since Blockbuster was taken out of it. You can still see the stain on the wall above where the door was that used to have a blockbuster logo on it....
So sweet of the girl staff to take the time to call the mom and warn her to protect the child, shes a human
That Ariana Grande Scene Was Everything 😂😂
I'm still wheezing 😂😂😂
I remember Blockbuster..
I remember playing Pokemon Snap/Pokemon Stadium demo on the N64 in there too.
I feel so old..
YEP. now remember Gen 1 Pokemon came out in 1997... 22yrs ago
Those were my favorite pokemon games. Remember how the 64 had to controler attachment that let you hook up your gameboy cartridge so you could add your pokemon from the gameboy games onto pokemon stadium/ pokemon Colosseum?
I was alive and young during Blockbuster and I remember seeing it from the outside a lot but I think I only ever went inside a few times
Same
Those are interesting stories! I remember all the good times I had at Blockbuster growing up!
I am 14 and I remember going into blockbuster when I was like 4 or something around there and it feeling so cool because my dad would always get either a movie for our family to watch or a video game for our Xbox 360 and sometimes candy
All I can say is that it was epic and I remember a few years later asking my dad if we could go to blockbuster and he was like
“Sorry Buddy, they went out of business.”
Sad times
Edit: the sad times was in like 2015 like a year after they closed
I wish Blockbuster was still around.
I mean, there's still Family Video. It's basically the same thing, except they have free kids movies. Also, I didn't know this until I looked it up just now, but apparently they also sell pizza now
I wish but they were to arrogent and didnt but out Netflix although Netflix is awesome
You wouldn't even go. Lmao
There is still a fully functional one in Portland
NinjaKIngAce oh that’s why it smelled like pizza. I thought it was the Subway that was attached next to it
*All the people said see you in 3+ months in the comments last vid looking confused right now*
*confloozed
loved
ZayZay Toons lol
@@RisingJay I literally said that before I looked at the replies to this comment 😂
I AM THE CONFUSION
i’m only 15, but my small town had it’s own version of blockbuster, except it was called family video (it had the same things). it recently closed with covid, but the memories are still nostalgic to me
Segue at the end was awesome swooz
This went from relatable animation to meaningful, emotional talk real quick.
Having fun isn't hard, when you got a BlockBuster card!
TheOriginal009 oh damn, I see you Arthur remix
TheOriginal009 lol I love Arthur
TheOriginal009 my new senior quote thanks lol
Double mnemonic action
TheOriginal009 WHATS A DOUIE?!
Blockbuster was kinda awesome. I remember getting the last copy. Hard to imagine it being awesome these days, as it's hard to imagine being the happy caveman.
I remember towards the end I'd just make a new account under a different name every time I went in and just keep everything. Now that this video brings back some memories I do feel kinda bad about it though it's nice to be reminded of things I'd forgotten.
Thank you blockbuster for being a major part of my childhood
Been following this man since he had a borrowed camera that would put an overlay on his face. Love you Swoozie, thank's for inspiring people like me to create content.
then I def gotta hit you with the heart my guy! Really appreciate you sticking with me for so long! Was def a struggle filming in the overlay days!
Well spoken brudda. Plz subscribe to PewDiePie
@@straightupdylan I'm already subscribed bro! Gotta stop T-Series
@@swoozie Love the fact that I actually got a reply, thanks for being you Adande. Much love from your old state, Florida!
I’m 17 and I still remember going to blockbusters. I also remember when Netflix started up and began sending movies to your house
Oh gosh I remember that, too. I'm still young, in my early 20s, and I just...all the memories. Rarely went inside blockbuster but we had smaller blockbuster like stores.
I'm 14 and I remember blockbuster their was street fighter at my 1 and a iron man cardboard cutout that I wanted
Same!
Netflix did that? I didn’t know that
I don’t remember Blockbuster, but I do remember Netflix sending movies to your house. My dad used to do it all the time. I’m 19 btw lol
The fact that he got both Caribbean parents from different islands is crazy u gotta know how to do both cultures 😢❤
How many of us still have an unreturned Blockbuster movie tho?
I think I do. Haha. I think it’s Lion King?
Mine is Cars 2. I’ve had it for like 4 years
Danean Willson I rented a game once. Never returned it though. Can’t remember what game it was, I think it was Lego Star Wars
I still got my Monster House DVD
Danean Willson me
There are actually 15 movies in the anime section. Thats some attention to detail right there!!
Matthew Zuelke I counted to🤣
Bitch don't test me
Ikr
Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a Blockbuster card
This was the first vid I watched of ur channel and in my opinion,it’s still the best.
I feel like times were better back then..
iamLucid they were
iamLucid they sure were
Def were. Now it’s just a bunch of “ITS MAAAAAAMMMs” and shit streaming services
It's because we were much younger and didn't see things as you do when you get older.
Ikr, it's kind of sad
I remember the Blockbuster days.. RIP
Also two Swoozie videos in two weeks?! We are blessed 🙌
ONE_shot_GURL - I’ve been putting videos together during def when I was t posting ;) got some more goodies on the way!
I hate Netflix
sWooZie yay we missed you
sWooZie I remember going there just to watch anime, if they blockbuster was still here, it would have some good movies right now, probably.
@@swoozie YAS MANNNN
Yo I clicked on this video for the story but stayed for that last message which touched my heart
I worked at Blockbuster back in 2000. We got 5 free rentals a week, and we could rent movies a week before they got put on shelves for release.
Me:Grampa, what’s this? *shows him his blockbuster card*
Grandpa:Sit down grandson, I’m gonna tell you a story...
XD
That's gonna be us soon if u had one
So Swoozie kept his word and said he would upload more 🤔.
Indeed he did
Ok and what’s your Point
Yep
new year new me 💁♀️
Mmm yes indeed
Your taste in entertainment is absolutely SUBLIME 💯 👌🏾
I still have a couple of promotional gift cards from Blockbuster lying around in hopes they'll become collectors' items. One Spider-Man and one LotR. But man, Blockbuster...that place introduced me to one of my all-time fave game series, SSX. Good times, man.
I miss blockbuster 😒
Love your vids
HENRY YOUR THE BEST
literally 😩
No you don't lol
Me too
"You like my hair" truly got me lol.
FACTS OMG I WASNT EXPECTING THAT 🤣😭😭
Using Pokémon Snap as an example was PERFECT! That was probably my most rented video game in my youth!
My dad had a friend who owned a video club(that's how we call them in greece) and we went there every weekend.I remember that me and my sister were so excited to go that we thought of movies we would like to watch before we even got there.we would also peek at the horror movie section and we were scared just by the cover of the films. Long story short this video club closed 3 or 4 years ago and im still sad that i can't live the amazing experience of going there again. They say we don't appreciate stuff until we lose them, that's true and i had to find out the hard way.......
I miss that smell that block buster had.
The smell of popcorn n old carpet 🤣
ღNiseyReneeღ 😂😂
Smelt like an Xbox 360 disk you left in the console while it was on .
The only way I can describe the smell is pure nostalgia and happiness
Watching netflix and youtube will never beat the joy of going to blockbuster as a kid
Damn, I remember Blockbuster, would always get 2 movies, one for my parents to watch together, and then usually a Disney movie for my siblings and I to watch. It was always a great weekend if we stopped by Blockbuster and ordered a pizza to eat while we watched a movie.
Maaaaan, the last copy of a video or a game in a Blockbuster is a feeling we'll never know again.
I mean...Blockbuster needa come back its going to be CLUTCH this Valentines Day!
Faxxxxxx
Blockbuster and chill
Bro....I see you *everywhere*
neverbeen to vlovkbusters before. what was it like?
My dad worked at blockbuster so I didn’t have to pay to rent movies/games

I honestly miss Blockbuster. It was an experience I'll never forget. I even kept my Blockbuster card as a memento.
Theres one left in the world in bend Oregon
My dad was a manager at a blockbuster, and when it went out of business he got to keep a bunch of Nintendo 64 games for free. Now I have a free copy of Kirby 64 with BBV written on it.
Uh-Nu-di-ty
I worked for one, once. I was like 22 years old when I worked there. The best thing was the new releases is we got to take them home before they went up on the shelf and watch it and bring it back for release on Tuesday.
Burning Shadows me toooo!! Ah the simpler fun times
I worked for one too and the worst feeling in the world was checking out a guest and having to let them know they had a late fee.
@@captainkail Oh I hated that part soo much! Though one time we had someone return their DVD but they had mixed up and put a porn video in the blockbuster case and we had to call and leave a message to tell them they dropped off the wrong movie.
@@burningshadows01 Hahahahaahah no way
@@Blahsheep It so happened and I can also say that at least three other employees (including one of my managers) may have ... checked that DVD to make sure it was in fact busty women wanting dick.
the late call thing happened to me a few times, after it happened a few times i started bringing it in personally so they couldn't say i never brought it back, sad for blockbuster though. it really was something but in business it's evolve or die,they didn't evolve and now they're reduced to one final store in oregon, rip blockbuster,we miss you
I remember Blockbuster trying-out a rental kiosk, like Red Box, shortly before folding. But then, I remember the first time I saw a movie rental kiosk... in the early-'90s.
I was 5 when blockbuster closed. I still remember my moms face when I asked her if we could go to blockbuster. It was so sad
so your 10? lol
I was 9 when it closed
I got my card when I was 12 and I got a rated R movie and the employee did not care at all and I ended up not watching so I wasted seven dollars
Dude I have off brand blockbuster and this store still living on even throughout this pandemic it's the craziest shit that place is so nostalgic
i was 5 when blockbuster shut down and I still miss them, for some reason they were the best place to run around in lmao
Man Blockbuster, Toys R Us....what’s next from my childhood?
Your parents.
Woolworths went too.....
ben samara LMFAOOOO

GameStop
Swoozie 7 Rings Parody ON POINT 😝😂😁😝😂😁
Crystal Starshine IKR?! Lmao 😂😂😂
It was ridiculously 😭
I remember getting so excited as a kid when my dad would take me to block buster especially when he would take us to the really fancy one on north Hamilton it always had a much better selection good memories
ahhhh, I remember when Blockbuster existed, I miss it
“Yeah ma’am this is Stacey from the Blockbuster in Metro West.” 😂😂😂
Blockbuster was a 4 min bike ride for me, and a little ceasars . So we literally had crazy bread and blockbuster every day . Greatest childhood possible. Don't even get me started on the blockbuster tournaments our store had....it was such a amazing time.
I grew up on Little Ceasars. Ate it like 4 times a week.
It took me 12 minutes to get to Blockbuster on my bike
@@bloodstarxd8805 me too and block busters was in the same building where McDonalds was.
Same, Blockbuster was literally behind my house at the time. I wish they were still around, shame
Probably from florida haha
We still have a place like blockbuster in my town where we can rent different movies and even purchase some. They also got candy and other kinds of snacks :D
i miss those days. good olll 90's
