"there's only 5 established characters within the first 2 seasons, and gilbert's my 8th favorite. In the friendship sandwich, he's the cement" the best line ever
Supposedly, the girl fish who kissed Gilbert was a kid’s OC who won a Goldfish OC contest. The OC was specified to have a crush on Gilbert and they went with it.
I remember when they ran that contest, my sister and I both made goldfish for the competition and were disappointed when our fish lost to a goldfish that looked so generic lol
THANK YOU! When I was a kid I was so invested in the finn and friends storyline and would shush people during the commercials lol. I was always so excited when a new commercial would air. I'm allergic to goldfish
"When I was a kid I was so invested in the finn and friends storyline and would shush people during the commercials lol." Well I had a TV in the basement that I could watch any channel I liked while my parents had TV upstairs in the living room/bedroom.... "I'm allergic to goldfish" That is so unfortunate man...I tend to be more of an animal crackers person, that's what used to be stuffed in my lunchbox back in the early 2000s. Unfortunately they ended up discontinuing those sometime in 2008 after I graduated 5th grade....Sucks but at least goldfish crackers still exist, whereas animal crackers, not so much.
"HE SURVIVED THE FLAVOR BLASTING OF 2005" is probably one of the best things that's ever been said in a video. If there is EVER a reboot you, me and Alec have to have an avengers endgame moment and collab and talk about it and cry probably
These two I think could make a great ummm what’s the thing called where they work on vids together? Anyways I think there styles are very similar plus there content of covering obscure things makes them work well. Idk maybe I’m wrong, but it would be cool
I love these bizarre lore of basically anything, my attention span can actually stay focused for once ngl These videos make me happy and are fun watching before going to bed
After all these years of seeing those commercials, I somehow never put it together that there's a continuous story with actual lore. I think I have a lot more respect for them now!
so uh fun fact: there was a full on goldfish central website once upon a time. only have a vague memory of it but viscerally recall anytime you went to the front page there was a flash application that'd say "Welcome to Goldfish Central". and that is baked and flavor blasted into my psyche.
9:34 does ANYONE else remember when goldfish had a contest for kids to submit their own drawings of their own original goldfish character?? I swear it took ages for the results to come in but this goldfish with the ribbon was the winner! choopo please give us an update I can't find anything else on this
You should do a video on the lore of Lucky Charms. I remember their website used to have a whole interactive series of videos and games showing how the mascot character used the different marshmallow shapes for magical abilities. I barely remember any of the story, but it was certainly bizarre. I think there have also been a number of different arcs over the years.
Real life words that came out of my actual mouth not even a week ago were “I wish somebody would do a video essay on the Goldfish Lore”, and now here you are…
I remember seeing a couple of these ads in the mornings watcing Nick, Cartoon Network, Boomerang (maybe) Hasbro, most mornings before going to school. The goldfish cracker ads are the ONLY ads I appreciate even to this day (and the older pop tart ads). Every ad except the pop tart and goldfish cracker ads I will actually watch.
My dad wrote seasons 4 (vacuum arc!) through 7, as well as the when I grew up videos! I can attempt to answer any questions! Vacuum arc was also my favorite (and I think my dad’s too).
I’m just surprised that the living cheddar crackers survived 22 years without becoming moldy
Год назад+39
As a non-american there were a solid few months where I thought people just thought it was really funny to say they like eating goldfish and it was like "haha you eat raw pet fish as snacks"
Seeing Athena P credited at the end was wonderful. She’s an amazing RUclipsr (and an amazing person in general) and I watched her Goldfish lore video a while back.
I knew for a while that there was a story in the finn and friends universe, but I never watched enough TV to know how long it was on for or even any of the characters. Also I was too young to see the best seasons so that sucks. I think the only one I might have possibly saw, maybe even later than when it aired was the one where Brooke does a magic trick.
*I've been a long time enjoyer of Goldfish crackers since 2004 and these goldfish commercials have convinced me and entertained me to play thier games online, and I finally got to do that in 2020 because I've never done that before. I also got to watch the full stories of that series.*
Yknow I’ve wondered what these commercials were about as I watched them over the years. Thought about checking out the website one day. Never thought about it being covered on RUclips which is strange because this is exactly the sort of thing to be covered on RUclips.
I my whole life have been obsessed with the lore of the media I consume. And nothing intrigued me more then the gold fish commercials. I was so invested in the story. What’s out there? Where will they go? What will they do? I watched the commercials waiting to know and see more of their world. When I saw the video in my feed I had to watch it. After the dream arc I feel off as I grew up and the commercials lost their luster but I do still remember occasionally seeing them on. Thank you for this video!
Didn’t even realize this was a new video until I checked the comments! I’m still working through your older videos and just assumed this was another on my homepage. I’m a simple person, I see your videos, I click! Best kind of weird, keep it up
I NEED THE TIMESTAMP!!!! Pretty please can i get the timestamp for when it shows up in the video? Or can i get a link to a video where the logo shows up?
They're using a camera app. That's just the button to take a picture. It looks similar to the aperture logo because they both represent the same thing. A camera aperture.
just got home from my job where i work at peppridge farms packing goldfish in a factory, and this was recommended to me 5 mins after i got home lol thank you
I remember watching all those Great Outdoors ads when I was younger and for the record, the viewer input didn't matter. Every single time a new one came out the website had moved on to voting for the next ad after the one that was airing if not the one after *that*.
The last episode of the series that I remember is IQ helping Gilbert escape the vacuum cleaner by catapulting him out of the bag. That was exciting to watch as a kid.
I remember there were a ton of games on the website that I used to play sometimes. I remember there was some weird sorta-strategy-puzzle game where the level geometry was made out of building blocks or something.
I thought I wasn’t the only one who thought of lore! I wrote some paper and jotted down some lore, noticing high class level goldfish and space travel…
Fun fact for me : i didn't eat gold fish crackers 😔 i only eat dry circular crackers that has 80% broken I wonder what it taste like in gold fish crackers
I got pretty invested in these stories as a kid and I never got to see how it ended, so it's good I can finally see what happened! Also I did not realize "Gilbert" was a pun until you pointed it out, 15 years later 🙃
We don't have Goldfish Crackers here where I live, so we don't get Goldfish ads So what am I doing watching an video all about Goldfish Crackers? Shut up, that's what
Was watching this while filling out my InstaCart order this morning and when I heard about dipping the pretzel goldfish in white qeso, I thought I'd give it a try. I will say that the flavor is alright but the little fish shaped pretzels are ultimately too small for dipping in qeso. I would recommend normal pretzel sticks over these pretzel Goldfish.
Thank you! I will be doing this soon. I love poptropica and want to replay it again, especially the old islands! As for my favorite island, probably Cryptids island, but there are so many to choose from!
So after you mentioned the Goldfish crackers having a fanbase... I just HAD to know if there was Goldfish crackers fanfiction out there. Turns out that there is! And these stories certainly sound... Interesting...? Half of the Goldfish Crackers fanfiction on AO3 contain sexually explicit content. There are a total of 4 Goldfish Cracker fanfiction on AO3. Brooke seems to be the most popular character. Also one of the summaries for these fics says, and I quote, "there are a bunch of goldfish crackers doing crack in 1945 and uh shit just happens like racism" Well... That certainly is something!
When I clicked on this video, my mind suddenly contained only a single word. The vestigial childhood memories of these cheesy snack commercials have manifested themselves to me in this form: Gilbert
So it turns out there’s actually like 11 seasons of Finn & Friends I just combined a few more of them than I thought so uhhhh oopsie daisies
It's no biggie the video was fire🔥🔥

As somebody named Gilbert, I can confirm this cracker is a disgrace to our name.
Supposedly, the girl fish who kissed Gilbert was a kid’s OC who won a Goldfish OC contest. The OC was specified to have a crush on Gilbert and they went with it.

I love the bizarre lore series u got going on

finn looks like a decapitated dinosaur train character
Why is that so accurate-
I love how the series basically starts out with eugenics and genocide.
I knew for a while that there was a story in the finn and friends universe, but I never watched enough TV to know how long it was on for or even any of the characters. Also I was too young to see the best seasons so that sucks. I think the only one I might have possibly saw, maybe even later than when it aired was the one where Brooke does a magic trick.
I am so fascinated by these bizarre lore videos haha iconic work ❤
Goldfish gameplay: yummy cheese snack
Goldfish lore: *going on life threatening adventures, discovering new places, meeting new allies, trafficking*
No one gonna talk about how choopo made a gormet meat dish on accident, just trying to cook spaghetti?
