Awesome video, loved the bit on sid buuuut.... The bed sheets, lunch box etc that Andy gets for his birthday are all Buzlightyear merchandise. That's why his room changes drastically with posters and everything, it's actually a pretty awesome present and well coordinated, probably by Andy's Mom(the real hero).
Now I'm imagining Sid, driven insane by everyone doubting his claim and calling him crazy. Takes a toy and tortures it until it finally snaps, all on video tape so he can prove it to everyone else
+RotatingMagnetGuy Perhaps even start a group of equally unstable individuals who seek to completely eradicate all toys on Earth. Finalizing his descent into being Hitler reborn.
Did you really not catch that he got bed sheets and a lunch box BC THEY WERE BUZZ MERCH? His friends got him brand new insanely popular merch based on the latest cartoon/video game/toyline/franchise. Those are awesome friends.
The reason nobody cares about Al's misfortune is because he is a bad dude. If Andy's mom had legitimately sold Woody, it would be a sad, but very different story of Al getting screwed over. But she said no and then he stole from a child.
That doesn’t mean he’s a bad dude either. Clearly what he did was wrong but BAD? No. He was just a very ambitious man that saw the true value that toy held that Andy’s mother never could have and he took him. Honestly I’d do the same. If I was wondering from place to place and all a sudden came across my universes version of the most famous and expensive antique toy at some crap road side yard sale and the person who owned said sale wouldn’t sell it because her bratty kid just LoVeS it then hell yea im taking it when she looks away too.
@phillosophical yeah you're a bad person. No one has any evidence he's a bratty kid, and Al never offers to buy the toy for what it's worth. Stealing from a child because its extra valuable doesn't make it better. Arguably it makes it worse
Here are two things the movies never explain: 1) Why is it that the Humans can't know that toys are alive and 2) What consequences (if any) exist for Humans knowing toys are alive? In Jim Henson's "Secret Life of Toys" it was established that if a toy was caught by a Human moving or otherwise being alive, that the toy will die. Thus a clear reason on why to never reveal themselves to the Humans. What are the consequences in Toy Story for this? I mean, they showed themselves to Sid, why not show themselves to Andy? What rules or codes are they living by that continues this?
+hozz101 Not much of a difference, one is just straight forward about not having the answer an the other tries to hide it. It doesn't matter in either case.
The kids did bring things that Andy used. They all brought Buzz Lightyear merchandise (posters/bedspreads etc.) and COME THE BIG REVEAL Mom brings out the actual buzz lightyear toy.
+Mr Sunday Movies I'm not comfortable with you commenting on other things I watch. It destroy my whole perception that you aren't a real person but just an artificial personality I enjoy on the internet.
On the first point... What if it's because if people knew toys were alive, then they wouldn't get played with, and getting played with means their model is popular, and if their model is popular, more of them will be made, so it's reproduction and some kind of subconscious evolution-y crap?
+Anime Deamon I'm 18 and sleep with my 'second in command' stuffed toy. My 'leader' was a hedgehog I got when I was about 5 that I named Tooty that I lost and never found again.
You're not alone I still have most of the stuffed toys I had when I was a kid. just about last year I gave up some of them to the woman's shelter. Oh and my fav toy is a purple rabbit I named Buneta... I put a kids hair tie around her neck so she has a neckless :)
I diddnt have a lot of friends as a kid, so it is a downright battle to make me get rid of stuffed animals. Like from the age of 5 if someone tried to get me to give away a stuffed animal, I would just cry. My moms theory is that my stuffed animals were kind of a surrogate for actual friends who stuck around. Point being, that's Andy! Sad, huh?
+Emily Black Not really, being a boy I didn't get stuffed animals or dolls, just action figures (which are still awesome!!!) And yeah I was super-protective of my toys and began writing my name under all their feet after seeing Toy Story 1 for the first time. But I grew up to have healthy relationships with people and have good friends. It isn't sad. It's normal. :) And i'm willing to bet you turned out well too.
+Emily Black get rid of them and you will learn to internalize your imaginary friends way more effective I think that's what a introverted person is (in my bs psych kinda way)
+Nathan Karr But that's how we view it. In a Toys perspective, He helped the toy be preserved forever, and escape the fate of the trash. Again, going back to the toys being slaves, Al was working the underground railroad....
+CountArtha So when people go to flea markets and bar boot sales and see an ultra rare nintendo game in mint condition that they recognise, as collectors, to be worth a lot of money they're scum for only paying a dollar or whatever?
Spectre v13 They're steal it when the seller turns his back. Jiperly Jiggs It's extremely clear that Andy's mom was not going to sell Woody. It's exactly as clear that Big Al then stole Woody anyway. Stop trying to justify the actions of a villain.
The toys didn't _choose_ anything...they're clearly _enchanted._ They actually have no choice but to keep their owners from knowing they're alive. ...except when they come out to Sid, true. But that's for the protection of Andy, which is a toy's _real_ purpose: the emotional well-being of their owner. That's the reason they exist. So they were allowed to break the enchantment in the service of their child. So the toys aren't so much alive as they are magic. They're golems. They're basically half of the Pinocchio myth.
+BionicDance that's a good point, if there wasn't evidence that all toys come to life when no one's aroud, with the day care, cid's "expiraments", and the unicorn plush, unless all toy companies in that universe enchant every single toy they make I don't think that this holds up
+The Dashboard AT LAST someone mentions this! Didn't Cracked cover this on an episode of After Hours as well? Sid grew up crazy and poor and collecting trash for a living. (Then again, I hear Alan Moore used to clean up human filth. Which means Sid is probably gonna be a cool writer and comic-book god some day).
+Navid Haider Uh, garbage collectors make pretty good money. 60k if I remember correctly. Sure, it's not like millionaire money, but it's still quite a bit of money, especially living in a small town like he does, and if he has a dual income home, he'll be living life pretty nice.
+Mc0521 Or he's a trash man so he can save toys since he knows they are alive. Choosing a "bad" career in order to save lives and repair and donate them to charity or something.
I really like this segment. I love the way you host it: how you combine nerdy analysis and expressive speech, or how you argue with the format of your own show. Seeing a host that's uncomfortable with time limits and other aspects of public speaking is fresh and IMHO adorable.
I love this series and channel, and in typical OPCD fashion I'm going to disagree with you. By the logic of this movie, the purpose of toys is to play and be played with. Al is a collector. Someone who wants to put all toys back in their boxes and vacuum seal them away from their designed purpose. Now, putting an object on a shelf to be admired is one thing. Andy did that with his toys for years. But imagine being stuck in a glass box, untouched and unloved... forever. At least with Andy, the toys can be passed down to other children or "wake up" when Andy leaves the room. And even if they don't passed down and end up collecting dust in some attic, at least Woody and the gang will be together and freely interact with each other for the foreseeable future. The movie that they need to make isn't how toys became content servants. It's obvious that humans don't trust things are different, and the moral questions of talking, thinking animated inanimate objects would cause many problems. Most likely, the self aware toys - knowing and wanting to embrace their purpose - were content in being the not so imaginary friends of children being passed down from generation to generation. The real question, and the real movie that needs to be made, is what about those toys collecting dust in the attic? What about the toys that have lived through two world wars and the holocaust? They are still alive. Living with their toy friends flipping through old photo albums watching the kids that played with them grow old and die while the just continue to exist. Imagine watching generations of a family grow up and interact. Imagine a crawlspace of memories piling up over the years, new toys moving into the attic. Imagine spring cleaning and the fear of not being considered a valuable enough memory to keep, only to go to good will and bought by someone else who will love you, play with you, and put you in another attic. *Circle of Life music plays in the background"
This is one of my favorite episodes so far! You're a great writer, Dan. I could listen to you talk about your adorable childhood for at least like 30 minutes.
That would only make since if they hadn't of messed with Sid. Also they only are awake when Andy isn't around so that means that Andy spends all of his time away from his toys thinking about what they are doing. He's a messed up kid, sure, but you'd have to be autism levels of messed up to be that off.
+Lovely Day 10 you don't like to think about what happens when you aren't around? he lost the toys for a while and preferred to imagine they paid sid a visit
I never even noticed that the father walked out. It makes so much more sense!!! Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder is a great segment. Please, shower us with more of it!
Please never stop making these OPCD videos. You're completely adorable, funny, and smart. These always make me laugh. (Secretly the only reason I subscribed to Cracked)
Indiana Jones grabs Woody from the clutches of the little girl in Toy Story three and says, "It belongs in a museum!" "Indana Jones and the Collection of Toys." Get on it, Speilburg.
+Adrian .C It's speculated that Woody is either passed down from Andy's father or mother. In Toy Story 2, his mother mentions that Woody is an heirloom. It is also quite obvious in Toy Story 2 that Woody is a toy from the era of black-and-white television, meaning that he is far older than Andy and therefore has had previous owners. The thought goes that Andy's mother was the original owner of Jessie, Woody's sidekick in the original television show. She met Andy's father and discovered that he still had a Woody doll that, unlike her, he had kept, presumably passed down by Andy's grandfather. Eventually, Andy's parents divorce. The reason that Andy keeps or (wants to) Woody at the end of Toy Story and Toy Story 3 is not because he likes Woody more than Buzz, it's because Woody was a gift from his now divorced or even deceased father. All the other toys he kept because they feel like peripherals to Woody. Andy's mother on the other hand, has stopped caring about the toys. She cares about Andy. In Toy Story 2, she wants Andy to keep his toys, because she knows how unhappy Andy would become if he lost his only remaining connection to his father. However, if it weren't for that, Woody is just a bad reminder of her former husband. By Toy Story 3, she (rightfully) thinks that Andy has outgrown his toys. She does not mean it in a vindictive way, but she subconsciously hopes that Andy will donate Woody, in the hopes that he will also outgrow his father's shadow.
I always saw Woody as representing his father and Buzz being a representation of his new step-dad. With the first movie being about accepting the new "dad" without forgetting about the old dad.
Well Cracked you've done it again. Made me re-evaluate everything I loved as a child and spiral down into a pit of nostalgic despair when I realized that I've loved psychopaths and murderers all along. This hate/love relationship is still going strong
What about the process of creating toys? The prequel would also show the toymakers who secretly know the toys are alive but for some reason don't share this information. Also, how do they become sentient? If they're not sentient until they are fully formed, how are they sentient when disassembled by Sid? If they are sentient before being formed, is everything sentient?
Weren't the gifts at the birthday party Buzz Lightyear accessories? Andy's bedspread turns from cowboy to Buzz shortly after the party... Awesome episode!! This was my favorite movie for many years and I've never thought about these things. Very insightful... and truthful! wow :)
In reference to the "not one of them brought a present that Andy used, ever" comment, in the Buzz-replacing-Woody montage, his bed sheets did change along with everything else in his room, so they could have been the sheets that the birthday boy brought.
The toys were all given to him by his father, who is never mentioned in the films. Andy can't let go of them because he wants to have them when his dad gets back. It's not until Toy Story 3 when he grows up and lets go of ever seeing his dad again. *drops mic*
Please have more of OPCD i love everyone of these they are funny, thought provoking, and just fun in general, you guys really know what you doing and i love watching :D
Always been curious about this stuff. Did Andy's toys have to lay there, perfectly motionless, while Andy hit puberty and started masterbating in his bedroom? Just imagine all of the things those toys heard when one of the humans thought they were alone. One thing in the first movie that ALWAYS bugged me was when Slinky was stretched when they were trying to get Buzz, Woody and RC back in the movie truck. There is no way in hell that he would go back to his original spiraled shape. He'd be fucked
I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact that the big villain of the entire series so far is Andys Mom. Think about it, every major conflict is caused by her (even though inadvertently) Plus by the end of the second movie she has to know the toys are alive or she is insane. First Movie: She's the one who buys Buzz and causes the conflict between Woody and Buzz, She's the one who says he could only bring one toy, imagine how things would have changed if Andy was allowed to bring both Woody and Buzz. Second Movie: If she wouldn't have given Andy that extra time to play Andy never would have torn woody. And She's the one who had the yard sale and tried to sell wheezy, thus getting Woody into Als hands. And Third Movie: She's the one who mistakes the toys for garbage when they are in garbage bags. And she's the one who drives them to the daycare center. And how does she know the toys are alive? Well, After She puts woody in money box in the second movie Al of course steals woody, You're telling me she didn't notice that? She didn't once look in that box and notice woody wasn't there anymore? Not to mention the fact that that night a bunch of andys toys went missing, despite the fact that Andy wasn't there. Then a few days later, when she isn't in the house the toys magically come back in different positions to where they were, Woody included who is in better condition then before. Plus 2 new toys, Andy thanks her for those toys but she would know that she didn't get them. So how did those toys get there. Its one of two things, either they are alive, or she has no problem with someone apparently, stealing woody from that money box, breaking into her house, stealing more toys, then breaking into her house later and putting the toys back and put 2 new toys there for andy. She's pretty nuts if she's okay with the second part.
+Mrcool210 Nah, you can't blame Andy's mom for mistakenly thinking the toys are garbage. And as to your longer premise about her knowing, it can be explained: She was very busy during the Yard Sale, and with a few days of Andy off to camp she's probably more busy trying to get her work done (she's a single mom after all), so it's likely that she acted dismissively. Every time a toy gets stolen she assumes it's "still around... right where you left them." Even when Andy got distraught in the first film, she was more about moving to their new house than looking for a missing set of her (much younger) son's toys. The "Welcome Home Andy" scene at the end of Toy Story 2 could be explained in two ways: 1. The toys could've simply made that themselves and waited there for Andy to find them. Or 2. They could've come up with another plot to first appear to Andy's mom and then SHE put them up there. If it is 1., then we can assume that the mystery of how they got there just never got made. Andy's mom probably thought he got new toys at toy-camp, and never heard him say "thanks mom." It's possible that they never brought it up, either of them. Plus, Woody returns with his torn arm, she suspects nothing. If it is 2., then we are robbed of a subplot.
+Mrcool210 You assume that parents have the time and the desire to give a single damn about their kids toys. As long as things are clean and the kid isn't screaming bloody murder about a silly childs toy, the parents have no reason to pay attention to the toys beyond buying a new one for holidays or birthdays. Parents have bigger problems to deal with then a possibly missing, but most likely misplaced, toy that they can replace with a trip to the toy store. Keep in mind that something that may be important to you is not necessarily important to others and therefore they will be less likely to pay attention to it and notice if something is different or missing.
+This_is_a_Conundrum I would hope that, if your kid has one specific toy they're extremely attached to, you'd care about that toy at least a little bit. I'm an adult and my parents are still fully aware of my favorite childhood toy. They would feel terrible if they accidentally lost or damaged it, even now, despite it having been a good 15+ years since it stopped being the most important thing in the world to me. It's true that something being important to one person doesn't mean it's important to others, but hopefully something extremely important to a child would be at least somewhat important to their parents.
+Mrcool210 Uh, what? Why would she think that toys are alive just because Woody was in the lock box one minute and not in there the next? Wouldn't she just assume Al broke into the box and stole him?
I always thought all the lame presents at Andy's party were Buzz Lightyear themed items. You see new bedsheets and a new lunchbox, both Buzz-themed, later on, which I took to imply that they were the bedsheets and lunch box from the party.
Point being, the theme for the presents was clearly staged beforehand. Bunch of Buzz themed stuff to build up to one awesome toy from his mom. Andy didn't catch on and was still amazed because he's a kid, a race notorious for their underdeveloped reasoning.
Maybe the toys slowly became animate from normal toys over time. Like, over time, some toys became alive. Then some more, and eventually all of them. They continue pretending to be inanimate when humans are around because that's just how it's always been. No great catastrophe, no great war. Childhood saved.
subscribed to Cracked because i accidentally came across the "After Hours" segment which i found to be hilarious..but i would have to say "OPCD" has quickly become my favorite sketch coming out of Cracked.
Please give him a twenty or so minute episode. I just think Daniel is so chill, and real and I greatly enjoy the episodes, and I feel a bit upset that he can't fully express his opinions.
just so you know there's a scene in the last you story where Sid (out a young man who looks exactly like Sid) is a garbage man ... kinda surprised you didn't say anything about that...
After Toy Story 3 I just assumed that Andy got interested in animation or creative writing, and was going to college for that reason. And he was reluctant to part with his toys because he often used them to inspire his stories. Which makes him... odd but not THAT odd. Imagine if you were an prodigy in the field of architecture and you used wooden blocks to make house designs even into high school? Would you want to get rid of them off the cuff? Probably not. (Oh, by the by, Frank Lloyd Wright allegedly used children's wooden blocks to come up with a lot of his first crude effort designs. Which he obviously did well into adulthood)
I want to sympathize with Sid, but there's just one problem: he's a dick to Hannah. It's one thing to bully toys, lt's another to bully your sister. Al stole Woody, so sympathy went out the window.
My question is what is the cut off for toy sentience? Do you have to have a face? What about the RC car, it only has eyes. And what about RC cars that don't have eyes. And if they don't need a face, then what are the consequences of things like tops and dice being sentient, but with no way to observe or interact with the outside world? What kind of hellish existence is that?
Sid's destruction of toys becomes infinitely more disturbing when you think about the fact that he combines some of the toys. Like the baby doll head on the mechanical spider legs or the fishing pole with Barbie legs. He took 2 immortal toys, cut them in half, and stuck them together! Does 1 half just suddenly control the other half? Can the 1 toy still feel and move his original pieces only, leaving them to live in constant agony and making it nearly impossible to move or function? We know from when Woody's forehead burns from the magnifying glass that toys feel pain, so how would it feel to have your head ripped off and shoved onto a set of sentient metal spider legs?
I feel sorry for you re Andy.. I watched TS3 just before going off to uni and sure I was uncomfortable when I took a few soft teddies/hadrosaurs along with me (3 shelves - one for books, one for dvds... what was I meant to use the third shelf for, photos of my loved ones?! That is a way weirder thing for an adolescent to do) but there was nobody on my block - and nobody in the other blocks I visited - that didn't have at least one or two toys they had brought from home. Except for the girl that had smuggled in African land snails, and those required weekly foraging for bones, surely a few toys are preferable to that? Sure nobody gives a crap about a mr potato head but if you held up two of my overlooked toys that were obviously meant to be a pair, I would've asked my mother to stitch their hands together before they went to the charity shop (yeah... that happened) Either way, I picture Andy going off to uni and finding that he's the only one on the corridor that hasn't brought a single memento of his childhood and I'm pretty sure everyone would assume he had been neglected.
I always though that the kids at Andy's birthday in the first Toy Story are implied to all be giving him gifts revolving around Buzz Lightyear, which is revealed in the bedroom transition a bit later into the film...
(Someone may have already mentioned this but) I've always accepted my mom's interpretation of the weird birthday gifts -- all the other kids' families were in on the fact that Buzz Lightyear was a surprise gift, so all of their gifts are hints leading up to that surprise. Andy soon redecorates his entire room to be Buzz Lightyear themed -- including Buzz Lightyear bedsheets.
I’m in my 30’s & still have A LOT of my toys (& not in that geek-culture “it’s a collection” way). It’s actually very common when your childhood was shortened in some way eg: having to grow up fast due to extreme illness. You hold on to the last vestiges of a childhood you were never able to outgrow naturally. It’s like “arrested development”: The more trauma you suffer, the more tightly you hold on to what little happiness you did have. Andy clearly went through something, maybe it’s related to the absence of his father (or other mother, just another parent) or something bad happens between movies but I feel like the toys would know if someone/something hurt their boy
Sid took his sisters toys and disfigured them to upset her!!! Chicken guy STOLE Woody when Andy's mom said he wasn't for sale!! They aren't the bad guys for no reason, Daniel. I agree with everything else though lol
I'm pretty sure the bedsheets were the Buzz Lightyear bedsheets Andy uses as inspiration to redecorate his entire room during the "Strange Things Are Happening to Me" montage...that rando kid provided us with a major plot device.
I always though that a family member gave him the bedsheets, like the aunt that always gives you clothes. And they weren't a random gift, they were the Buzz Lightyear bedsheets he wanted.
LoL, I was a lot like Sid and yourself when I was a kid. It was far more fascinating disassembling every single toy and figure out how it works than actually playing with them. Except perhaps stuffed animals, its fairly clear what those have inside lol.
thinking about it, Andy did seem to have an almost instinctive negative reaction to the idea of giving up Woody as opposed to his other toys. When Bonnie calls Woody "my cowboy", Andy jerks back and pulls Woody closer to him, not questioning how she was familiar with a toy that hadn't been on the market when he was a kid, let alone ten years later, but blocking her from taking Woody, and only relents when he sees that Bonnie is crushed that she can't have him, which he believes means she would take good care of this item that holds so much value to him. He also never explicitly *gives* his toys to Bonnie. he says he wants her to take good care of them while he's gone, he never transfers ownership to her, so he's most likely going to, at some point, come back for the toys, or, at the very least, Woody, and after Toy Story 4, we know he's going to come back and find out that not only did Bonnie lose Woody, she didn't even realize he was gone in the first place, because within a year of getting him and being so happy to have him almost crying when its implied that she might not get him despite having just been given 11 other toys, he is the only toy she was given by Andy that she lost interest in, which, if it wasn't painful enough to have lost Woody forever, will be even worse when someone inevitably suggests trying to find another one and sees that Woody is an incredibly rare collector's item worth enough money that a damaged one would sell for enough for a person to retire on fifteen years ago.
Awesome video, loved the bit on sid buuuut....
The bed sheets, lunch box etc that Andy gets for his birthday are all Buzlightyear merchandise.
That's why his room changes drastically with posters and everything, it's actually a pretty awesome present and well coordinated, probably by Andy's Mom(the real hero).

That explains nothing.

Maybe you don't want your kids to snuggle up to random sentient beings?
Are you forgetting that Al basically STOLE Woody from the garage sale?
It's just borrowing without bringing it back
Also Sid was constantly bullying his little sister. The kid was a little Hitler.
The kids did bring things that Andy used. They all brought Buzz Lightyear merchandise (posters/bedspreads etc.) and COME THE BIG REVEAL Mom brings out the actual buzz lightyear toy.

Ye, sorry for rainning on your parade there but...what about those little Lego guys and animals? Those are not ''acessories''...
Benjamin Drake same kinda I made a creature out if Lego blocks terrorize a Lego town
Lego's endless fun
there are actually toys made for taking apart and being rebuilt
On the first point... What if it's because if people knew toys were alive, then they wouldn't get played with, and getting played with means their model is popular, and if their model is popular, more of them will be made, so it's reproduction and some kind of subconscious evolution-y crap?
I have never thrown away a stuffed toy... I have every single one, and I still sleep with 2 of them. Kinda sad since I'm in my late teens...
+Anime Deamon I'm 18 and sleep with my 'second in command' stuffed toy. My 'leader' was a hedgehog I got when I was about 5 that I named Tooty that I lost and never found again.
Pductions Wow what?
+Mc0521 the second in command got him
naw. He was gone before the second in command got there
You're not alone I still have most of the stuffed toys I had when I was a kid. just about last year I gave up some of them to the woman's shelter.
Oh and my fav toy is a purple rabbit I named Buneta... I put a kids hair tie around her neck so she has a neckless :)
I've always hoped that the collector had employed traveler insurance for his stuff...
Cracked, stop making things secretly terrifying. This is why we can't have nice things.
Your nice things are secretly terrifying.

Shhhhh, you're gonna give them ideas!
I diddnt have a lot of friends as a kid, so it is a downright battle to make me get rid of stuffed animals. Like from the age of 5 if someone tried to get me to give away a stuffed animal, I would just cry. My moms theory is that my stuffed animals were kind of a surrogate for actual friends who stuck around.
Point being, that's Andy! Sad, huh?
+Emily Black Not really, being a boy I didn't get stuffed animals or dolls, just action figures (which are still awesome!!!) And yeah I was super-protective of my toys and began writing my name under all their feet after seeing Toy Story 1 for the first time. But I grew up to have healthy relationships with people and have good friends. It isn't sad. It's normal. :)
And i'm willing to bet you turned out well too.
+Navid Haider I have two pillow pets.
+Emily Black get rid of them and you will learn to internalize your imaginary friends way more effective I think that's what a introverted person is (in my bs psych kinda way)

Trust me, I tried. I literally started bawling before i could even open the drawer. (classical conditioning?)
Al _stole_ the Woody doll from the garage sale, thus he still deserves his fate.
+Nathan Karr Plus he was only going to give Andy's mom fifty cents for Woody even though he knew he was priceless.
+Nathan Karr But that's how we view it. In a Toys perspective, He helped the toy be preserved forever, and escape the fate of the trash. Again, going back to the toys being slaves, Al was working the underground railroad....
+CountArtha So when people go to flea markets and bar boot sales and see an ultra rare nintendo game in mint condition that they recognise, as collectors, to be worth a lot of money they're scum for only paying a dollar or whatever?
Spectre v13 They're steal it when the seller turns his back.
Jiperly Jiggs It's extremely clear that Andy's mom was not going to sell Woody. It's exactly as clear that Big Al then stole Woody anyway. Stop trying to justify the actions of a villain.
+Spectre v13 No, but when they STEAL it they're certainly bordering on criminal activity. Plus Al's a d*ck to people.
The toys didn't _choose_ anything...they're clearly _enchanted._ They actually have no choice but to keep their owners from knowing they're alive.
...except when they come out to Sid, true. But that's for the protection of Andy, which is a toy's _real_ purpose: the emotional well-being of their owner. That's the reason they exist. So they were allowed to break the enchantment in the service of their child.
So the toys aren't so much alive as they are magic. They're golems. They're basically half of the Pinocchio myth.
+BionicDance that's a good point, if there wasn't evidence that all toys come to life when no one's aroud, with the day care, cid's "expiraments", and the unicorn plush, unless all toy companies in that universe enchant every single toy they make I don't think that this holds up
+Segaman55 Perhaps individual toys don't need enchantment; it may simply be part of that world's nature.
BionicDance maybe
+BionicDance Who's the magician, though? What could possibly be powerful enough to enchant millions of toys with sentience, and to what purpose?
+DrakathHelsinkin Santa Claus. Duh. ;)
Sid grew up to be a trash man. He's the guy picking up the trash in front of Andy's house in Toy Story 3
+The Dashboard AT LAST someone mentions this! Didn't Cracked cover this on an episode of After Hours as well? Sid grew up crazy and poor and collecting trash for a living.
(Then again, I hear Alan Moore used to clean up human filth. Which means Sid is probably gonna be a cool writer and comic-book god some day).
+The Dashboard Exactly, he's actively taking part in destroying the toys that traumatized him when he was young!
+Navid Haider Uh, garbage collectors make pretty good money. 60k if I remember correctly. Sure, it's not like millionaire money, but it's still quite a bit of money, especially living in a small town like he does, and if he has a dual income home, he'll be living life pretty nice.
+Navid Haider what if sid wrote toy story
+Mc0521 Or he's a trash man so he can save toys since he knows they are alive. Choosing a "bad" career in order to save lives and repair and donate them to charity or something.
"Toys are not brought into this world seeking meaning" haha like the Meeseeks
OMG I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

I really like this segment. I love the way you host it: how you combine nerdy analysis and expressive speech, or how you argue with the format of your own show. Seeing a host that's uncomfortable with time limits and other aspects of public speaking is fresh and IMHO adorable.
I WILL comment, whether you like it or not! (yes, someone out there listens to the banter at the end of each episode)
there already was a prequel to toy story that chronicles the fall of toys that dare strike against humans. its called small soldiers.
I love this series and channel, and in typical OPCD fashion I'm going to disagree with you.
By the logic of this movie, the purpose of toys is to play and be played with. Al is a collector. Someone who wants to put all toys back in their boxes and vacuum seal them away from their designed purpose. Now, putting an object on a shelf to be admired is one thing. Andy did that with his toys for years. But imagine being stuck in a glass box, untouched and unloved... forever. At least with Andy, the toys can be passed down to other children or "wake up" when Andy leaves the room. And even if they don't passed down and end up collecting dust in some attic, at least Woody and the gang will be together and freely interact with each other for the foreseeable future.
The movie that they need to make isn't how toys became content servants. It's obvious that humans don't trust things are different, and the moral questions of talking, thinking animated inanimate objects would cause many problems. Most likely, the self aware toys - knowing and wanting to embrace their purpose - were content in being the not so imaginary friends of children being passed down from generation to generation. The real question, and the real movie that needs to be made, is what about those toys collecting dust in the attic? What about the toys that have lived through two world wars and the holocaust? They are still alive. Living with their toy friends flipping through old photo albums watching the kids that played with them grow old and die while the just continue to exist. Imagine watching generations of a family grow up and interact. Imagine a crawlspace of memories piling up over the years, new toys moving into the attic. Imagine spring cleaning and the fear of not being considered a valuable enough memory to keep, only to go to good will and bought by someone else who will love you, play with you, and put you in another attic.

Holy shit this was profound. The layers of sadness..
Jo Money Damn
This is one of my favorite episodes so far! You're a great writer, Dan. I could listen to you talk about your adorable childhood for at least like 30 minutes.
I always thought the toys sentience and personalities were just in andys head.
That would only make since if they hadn't of messed with Sid. Also they only are awake when Andy isn't around so that means that Andy spends all of his time away from his toys thinking about what they are doing. He's a messed up kid, sure, but you'd have to be autism levels of messed up to be that off.
Lovely Day 10 Maybe Andy just disliked Sid, and imagined toys attacking him?
DomSchu perhaps. And perhaps Andy does have autism and that's what he's so awkward and has no friends.
+Lovely Day 10 you don't like to think about what happens when you aren't around? he lost the toys for a while and preferred to imagine they paid sid a visit
+Lovely Day 10 in future please refrain from using the phrase "autism level of messed up"
I never even noticed that the father walked out. It makes so much more sense!!!
Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder is a great segment. Please, shower us with more of it!
I can only assume the toys are the product of blood magic,i mean do toy factories have like warlocks running them or something?
Old cracked it like a warm hug that reminds me why I liked RUclips.
7:48 did Dan just say that "Buzz" is an analog for Neil Armstrong and not "Buzz" Aldrin?
Please never stop making these OPCD videos. You're completely adorable, funny, and smart. These always make me laugh. (Secretly the only reason I subscribed to Cracked)
Indiana Jones grabs Woody from the clutches of the little girl in Toy Story three and says, "It belongs in a museum!"
"Indana Jones and the Collection of Toys." Get on it, Speilburg.
The segment about Andy not getting rid of his toys was hilarious!
andys mum had her own toys called buzz and woody
How original..........
+jamesg3456 not at all
+Adrian .C It's speculated that Woody is either passed down from Andy's father or mother. In Toy Story 2, his mother mentions that Woody is an heirloom. It is also quite obvious in Toy Story 2 that Woody is a toy from the era of black-and-white television, meaning that he is far older than Andy and therefore has had previous owners.
The thought goes that Andy's mother was the original owner of Jessie, Woody's sidekick in the original television show. She met Andy's father and discovered that he still had a Woody doll that, unlike her, he had kept, presumably passed down by Andy's grandfather.
Eventually, Andy's parents divorce. The reason that Andy keeps or (wants to) Woody at the end of Toy Story and Toy Story 3 is not because he likes Woody more than Buzz, it's because Woody was a gift from his now divorced or even deceased father. All the other toys he kept because they feel like peripherals to Woody.
Andy's mother on the other hand, has stopped caring about the toys. She cares about Andy. In Toy Story 2, she wants Andy to keep his toys, because she knows how unhappy Andy would become if he lost his only remaining connection to his father. However, if it weren't for that, Woody is just a bad reminder of her former husband.
By Toy Story 3, she (rightfully) thinks that Andy has outgrown his toys. She does not mean it in a vindictive way, but she subconsciously hopes that Andy will donate Woody, in the hopes that he will also outgrow his father's shadow.
+Adrian .C There is the theory that Bo (that cowgirl) once belonged to Andy's mum. Don't care enough to go into detail about that though. Hey ho.
+Baxbax You mean Jessie. Bo was Little Bo Peep, the shepherd from that one nursery rhyme.
By FAR the best segments Cracked puts out these days, Daniel you are the man
Finally, a video that isn't only a bunch of clips with typing over it lol.
I always saw Woody as representing his father and Buzz being a representation of his new step-dad. With the first movie being about accepting the new "dad" without forgetting about the old dad.
I FEEL SO BAD FOR SID NOW
Well Cracked you've done it again. Made me re-evaluate everything I loved as a child and spiral down into a pit of nostalgic despair when I realized that I've loved psychopaths and murderers all along. This hate/love relationship is still going strong
This is one of those series that I "like" before watching.
I just realized I love these segments cause it's just Dan having an after hours with himself
What about the process of creating toys? The prequel would also show the toymakers who secretly know the toys are alive but for some reason don't share this information. Also, how do they become sentient? If they're not sentient until they are fully formed, how are they sentient when disassembled by Sid? If they are sentient before being formed, is everything sentient?
Weren't the gifts at the birthday party Buzz Lightyear accessories? Andy's bedspread turns from cowboy to Buzz shortly after the party...
Awesome episode!! This was my favorite movie for many years and I've never thought about these things. Very insightful... and truthful! wow :)
Dear Cracked,
Why is everything so terrifying to you?
love,
a concerned viewer
+Kelsey Menges Clearly they are uber-cowards who must be frightened by everything. Like the cowardly lion in the wizard of oz.
TheEternalPheonix I'll accept that theory
In reference to the "not one of them brought a present that Andy used, ever" comment, in the Buzz-replacing-Woody montage, his bed sheets did change along with everything else in his room, so they could have been the sheets that the birthday boy brought.
The toys were all given to him by his father, who is never mentioned in the films. Andy can't let go of them because he wants to have them when his dad gets back. It's not until Toy Story 3 when he grows up and lets go of ever seeing his dad again. *drops mic*
TheToxicDreamland his father can't come back because he died of polio
Please have more of OPCD i love everyone of these they are funny, thought provoking, and just fun in general, you guys really know what you doing and i love watching :D
I absolutely love the way this guy delivers his lines.
Always been curious about this stuff. Did Andy's toys have to lay there, perfectly motionless, while Andy hit puberty and started masterbating in his bedroom? Just imagine all of the things those toys heard when one of the humans thought they were alone. One thing in the first movie that ALWAYS bugged me was when Slinky was stretched when they were trying to get Buzz, Woody and RC back in the movie truck. There is no way in hell that he would go back to his original spiraled shape. He'd be fucked
HILARIOUS. Your delivery is perfect man
I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact that the big villain of the entire series so far is Andys Mom. Think about it, every major conflict is caused by her (even though inadvertently) Plus by the end of the second movie she has to know the toys are alive or she is insane.
First Movie: She's the one who buys Buzz and causes the conflict between Woody and Buzz, She's the one who says he could only bring one toy, imagine how things would have changed if Andy was allowed to bring both Woody and Buzz.
Second Movie: If she wouldn't have given Andy that extra time to play Andy never would have torn woody. And She's the one who had the yard sale and tried to sell wheezy, thus getting Woody into Als hands.
And Third Movie: She's the one who mistakes the toys for garbage when they are in garbage bags. And she's the one who drives them to the daycare center.
And how does she know the toys are alive? Well, After She puts woody in money box in the second movie Al of course steals woody, You're telling me she didn't notice that? She didn't once look in that box and notice woody wasn't there anymore? Not to mention the fact that that night a bunch of andys toys went missing, despite the fact that Andy wasn't there. Then a few days later, when she isn't in the house the toys magically come back in different positions to where they were, Woody included who is in better condition then before. Plus 2 new toys, Andy thanks her for those toys but she would know that she didn't get them. So how did those toys get there. Its one of two things, either they are alive, or she has no problem with someone apparently, stealing woody from that money box, breaking into her house, stealing more toys, then breaking into her house later and putting the toys back and put 2 new toys there for andy. She's pretty nuts if she's okay with the second part.
+Mrcool210 Nah, you can't blame Andy's mom for mistakenly thinking the toys are garbage. And as to your longer premise about her knowing, it can be explained:
She was very busy during the Yard Sale, and with a few days of Andy off to camp she's probably more busy trying to get her work done (she's a single mom after all), so it's likely that she acted dismissively. Every time a toy gets stolen she assumes it's "still around... right where you left them." Even when Andy got distraught in the first film, she was more about moving to their new house than looking for a missing set of her (much younger) son's toys.
The "Welcome Home Andy" scene at the end of Toy Story 2 could be explained in two ways: 1. The toys could've simply made that themselves and waited there for Andy to find them. Or 2. They could've come up with another plot to first appear to Andy's mom and then SHE put them up there.
If it is 1., then we can assume that the mystery of how they got there just never got made. Andy's mom probably thought he got new toys at toy-camp, and never heard him say "thanks mom." It's possible that they never brought it up, either of them. Plus, Woody returns with his torn arm, she suspects nothing.
If it is 2., then we are robbed of a subplot.
+Mrcool210 You assume that parents have the time and the desire to give a single damn about their kids toys. As long as things are clean and the kid isn't screaming bloody murder about a silly childs toy, the parents have no reason to pay attention to the toys beyond buying a new one for holidays or birthdays. Parents have bigger problems to deal with then a possibly missing, but most likely misplaced, toy that they can replace with a trip to the toy store. Keep in mind that something that may be important to you is not necessarily important to others and therefore they will be less likely to pay attention to it and notice if something is different or missing.
+This_is_a_Conundrum I would hope that, if your kid has one specific toy they're extremely attached to, you'd care about that toy at least a little bit. I'm an adult and my parents are still fully aware of my favorite childhood toy. They would feel terrible if they accidentally lost or damaged it, even now, despite it having been a good 15+ years since it stopped being the most important thing in the world to me. It's true that something being important to one person doesn't mean it's important to others, but hopefully something extremely important to a child would be at least somewhat important to their parents.
+Mrcool210 Uh, what? Why would she think that toys are alive just because Woody was in the lock box one minute and not in there the next? Wouldn't she just assume Al broke into the box and stole him?
***** okay fair point on that one, but there is also how woody got back to andys room like he did.
I always thought all the lame presents at Andy's party were Buzz Lightyear themed items. You see new bedsheets and a new lunchbox, both Buzz-themed, later on, which I took to imply that they were the bedsheets and lunch box from the party.
Point being, the theme for the presents was clearly staged beforehand. Bunch of Buzz themed stuff to build up to one awesome toy from his mom. Andy didn't catch on and was still amazed because he's a kid, a race notorious for their underdeveloped reasoning.
Maybe the toys slowly became animate from normal toys over time. Like, over time, some toys became alive. Then some more, and eventually all of them. They continue pretending to be inanimate when humans are around because that's just how it's always been. No great catastrophe, no great war. Childhood saved.
Alex Jones isn't that how it is in the Velveteen Rabbit too?
subscribed to Cracked because i accidentally came across the "After Hours" segment which i found to be hilarious..but i would have to say "OPCD" has quickly become my favorite sketch coming out of Cracked.
It's probably a good thing for Sid that video games aren't alive...
Man he would hate the wreck it Ralph universe
Please give him a twenty or so minute episode. I just think Daniel is so chill, and real and I greatly enjoy the episodes, and I feel a bit upset that he can't fully express his opinions.
haha shit got real at the end
I've not watched Cracked for a while. I've missed you Dan!!! You're the coolest!
just so you know there's a scene in the last you story where Sid (out a young man who looks exactly like Sid) is a garbage man ... kinda surprised you didn't say anything about that...
best cracked person. love everything you've done, dan. you're awesome.
there is never enough OPCD
After Toy Story 3 I just assumed that Andy got interested in animation or creative writing, and was going to college for that reason. And he was reluctant to part with his toys because he often used them to inspire his stories. Which makes him... odd but not THAT odd. Imagine if you were an prodigy in the field of architecture and you used wooden blocks to make house designs even into high school? Would you want to get rid of them off the cuff? Probably not. (Oh, by the by, Frank Lloyd Wright allegedly used children's wooden blocks to come up with a lot of his first crude effort designs. Which he obviously did well into adulthood)
I want to sympathize with Sid, but there's just one problem: he's a dick to Hannah. It's one thing to bully toys, lt's another to bully your sister.
Al stole Woody, so sympathy went out the window.
Your comic timing is great. I love this series. :D
Is Dan a hostage or something? Forced to pump out videos for cracked?
Not anymore :(
This is one of the best shows I've ever seen to watch high. Like seriously. Congrats guys
is a sex toy a toy
Only if it has eyes.
My question is what is the cut off for toy sentience? Do you have to have a face? What about the RC car, it only has eyes. And what about RC cars that don't have eyes. And if they don't need a face, then what are the consequences of things like tops and dice being sentient, but with no way to observe or interact with the outside world? What kind of hellish existence is that?
"Nothing is born knowing servitude." That's a really good line.
Do more of these type of videos, your my favorite one from cracked
Sid's destruction of toys becomes infinitely more disturbing when you think about the fact that he combines some of the toys. Like the baby doll head on the mechanical spider legs or the fishing pole with Barbie legs. He took 2 immortal toys, cut them in half, and stuck them together! Does 1 half just suddenly control the other half? Can the 1 toy still feel and move his original pieces only, leaving them to live in constant agony and making it nearly impossible to move or function? We know from when Woody's forehead burns from the magnifying glass that toys feel pain, so how would it feel to have your head ripped off and shoved onto a set of sentient metal spider legs?
Woke up, saw this video on my feed and yelled "HOORAY!" Laughed so hard at that bedsheets bit. Today's starting off good!
I feel sorry for you re Andy.. I watched TS3 just before going off to uni and sure I was uncomfortable when I took a few soft teddies/hadrosaurs along with me (3 shelves - one for books, one for dvds... what was I meant to use the third shelf for, photos of my loved ones?! That is a way weirder thing for an adolescent to do) but there was nobody on my block - and nobody in the other blocks I visited - that didn't have at least one or two toys they had brought from home. Except for the girl that had smuggled in African land snails, and those required weekly foraging for bones, surely a few toys are preferable to that? Sure nobody gives a crap about a mr potato head but if you held up two of my overlooked toys that were obviously meant to be a pair, I would've asked my mother to stitch their hands together before they went to the charity shop (yeah... that happened)
Either way, I picture Andy going off to uni and finding that he's the only one on the corridor that hasn't brought a single memento of his childhood and I'm pretty sure everyone would assume he had been neglected.
love your delivery and the format. thumbs up
I always though that the kids at Andy's birthday in the first Toy Story are implied to all be giving him gifts revolving around Buzz Lightyear, which is revealed in the bedroom transition a bit later into the film...
Never enough time for all I want to hear from you! Good segment!
These are the videos I keep coming back to cracked for! Love the book !
2:32 "Am I the asshole?" I think you pretty much answered the whole question of this video with your own rhetorical question right there Dan.
I want LONGER episodes. I could watch an hour long episode of this. Love OPCD!
I love the Rick and Morty Meeseeks and Destroy reference at 4:08
(Someone may have already mentioned this but) I've always accepted my mom's interpretation of the weird birthday gifts -- all the other kids' families were in on the fact that Buzz Lightyear was a surprise gift, so all of their gifts are hints leading up to that surprise. Andy soon redecorates his entire room to be Buzz Lightyear themed -- including Buzz Lightyear bedsheets.
I’m in my 30’s & still have A LOT of my toys (& not in that geek-culture “it’s a collection” way). It’s actually very common when your childhood was shortened in some way eg: having to grow up fast due to extreme illness. You hold on to the last vestiges of a childhood you were never able to outgrow naturally. It’s like “arrested development”: The more trauma you suffer, the more tightly you hold on to what little happiness you did have. Andy clearly went through something, maybe it’s related to the absence of his father (or other mother, just another parent) or something bad happens between movies but I feel like the toys would know if someone/something hurt their boy
Sid took his sisters toys and disfigured them to upset her!!! Chicken guy STOLE Woody when Andy's mom said he wasn't for sale!! They aren't the bad guys for no reason, Daniel. I agree with everything else though lol
Woo new OPCD episode *and* something with "Secretly Terrifying" in the title.
Loved it when he said "human", pointed at himself, then at the viewer confusedly. Subtle and brilliant.
these are great I found these 2 hours ago and now wont stop till I finish your whole channal
Eyyyyy great job this this is my favourite episode so far!
I'm pretty sure the bedsheets were the Buzz Lightyear bedsheets Andy uses as inspiration to redecorate his entire room during the "Strange Things Are Happening to Me" montage...that rando kid provided us with a major plot device.
Reveals the depth of our conditioning as obedient, superficial consumers; always content w/ surface meaning, seldom examining the implications of boundless evidence.. Always appreciate the fastidious analysis Cracked, rare yanks indeed
OH MY GOSH!! I always thought he said "Benji" not "bedsheets" lol XD
I was worried that this was just going to be a copy of the After Hours video, but this is great, fresh content. Three cheers for Dan, everybody!
I always though that a family member gave him the bedsheets, like the aunt that always gives you clothes.
And they weren't a random gift, they were the Buzz Lightyear bedsheets he wanted.
LoL, I was a lot like Sid and yourself when I was a kid. It was far more fascinating disassembling every single toy and figure out how it works than actually playing with them. Except perhaps stuffed animals, its fairly clear what those have inside lol.
You know between multiple articles, videos and the podcast, Cracked has really beat this whole "Toy Story" thing to death for me.
is it so hard to believe that the friend gave him the very same buzz lightyear bedsheets seen later in the movie? :p
thinking about it, Andy did seem to have an almost instinctive negative reaction to the idea of giving up Woody as opposed to his other toys. When Bonnie calls Woody "my cowboy", Andy jerks back and pulls Woody closer to him, not questioning how she was familiar with a toy that hadn't been on the market when he was a kid, let alone ten years later, but blocking her from taking Woody, and only relents when he sees that Bonnie is crushed that she can't have him, which he believes means she would take good care of this item that holds so much value to him. He also never explicitly *gives* his toys to Bonnie. he says he wants her to take good care of them while he's gone, he never transfers ownership to her, so he's most likely going to, at some point, come back for the toys, or, at the very least, Woody, and after Toy Story 4, we know he's going to come back and find out that not only did Bonnie lose Woody, she didn't even realize he was gone in the first place, because within a year of getting him and being so happy to have him almost crying when its implied that she might not get him despite having just been given 11 other toys, he is the only toy she was given by Andy that she lost interest in, which, if it wasn't painful enough to have lost Woody forever, will be even worse when someone inevitably suggests trying to find another one and sees that Woody is an incredibly rare collector's item worth enough money that a damaged one would sell for enough for a person to retire on fifteen years ago.
I would like to hear more on this. It's pretty damn intriguing. Also, I might be interested in writing what happened to Sid.
