man, just imagine being one of the women that thomas edison pulled to record the voices. i can't imagine screaming the same nursery rhyme over and over again in a really tinny microphone
i LOVE how they're just bebe jumeaus with like...metal barrel chests. also this is FASCINATING. you can hear the effort the ladies had to exert when speaking to even be heard via wax record & how they had to speak slow & maintain a child/doll voice while basically yelling. it's a great recording all things considered! was wax just that bad from the get go and only degrades over time? bc even a fresh recording on wax sounds reeeal old. if anyone's interested, Rob Scallon recorded himself & friends playing metal to a wax record.
Imagine having one of these in your bedroom, and suddenly as all is dark and silent, the damn thing suddenly malfunctions and turns on at 3 o'clock in the morning...
You are very close on the year. I read on the Smithsonian Magazine that these historical but creepy-looking dolls were only sold for a few weeks in April 1890. The earliest restored talking doll recording was “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” which dates from 1888.
I can't stand it when people ridicule, or don’t take serious early inventions; don’t they realise that without them a lot of what we enjoy and take for granted in life today would be non-existent!??? A little respect PLEASE! These Dolls were marvellous inventions!
I agree! This was a trailblazing, novelty for it's time and a predecessor to later talking toys. Without this first experiment with talking dolls, other inventors wouldn't have had anything to compare or improve upon. It's just like the early talking films. They were clunky and awkward, but they made way for classic sound movies that we can still enjoy today. Around 1768 Pierre Jaquet-Droz created the first recorded animated dolls that could move and write in French and English. They were called automatons. They were pretty elaborate for their times, and, in my opinion, they were early models of what automation/artificially intelligence can do today, but without them, creators would have had nothing to build upon. 💻
@@leverdia Oh wow, now I'm going to look up automotons. I'm fascinated by cool old inventions like this. (Although, ngl, I'd rather see them at a museum than have one in my house. What's cool in the daytime might seem a helluva lot creepier coming from the closet or the attic at night!! 😱 I know, I've watched too many creepy old movies!🤣)
Lmao! I didn't need subtitles to recognize that. It's a famous prayer kids use to say before bed. "As I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take." It's sad because there was such a high infant mortality rate back then that's a prayer they actually said to COMFORT them!! Absolutely terrifying- but hilarious when you know that it's just a woman screaming into a tube. 😆 No wait, still terrifying! 🤣😭
I think you mean Westinghouse stole ideas from Edison. Tesla was his employee for a while, so Telsa's ideas belonged to Edison. Tesla would be considered on the spectrum today
Yeah he got all of those patents because everyone that worked for him had to sign over all their patent rights to Edison and couldn't keep any rights for themselves. Look it up. Edison ain't the hero that he's made out to be. Peace. Out.
I think its amazing to have immortalized a person in a doll. Imagine if each doll could be traced to a living ancestor.
@Nicholas Zeke this has nothing to do with the video, and I bet flixzone is piracy
@@everyfiend835 it's a bot
Imagine if the ancestor was still in the doll...

@@themaggattack 😭 Annabelle
can you imagine what these dolls were like in the toy story universe?
jesus
jesus christ thanks for putting that in my mind

>Very first entertainment records
Cool
>Very first children's records
Wow
>Very first time women's voices are recorded on record
Nea-BWUGHH I MEAN THAT'S INCREDIBLE
That sound is horrifying
man, just imagine being one of the women that thomas edison pulled to record the voices. i can't imagine screaming the same nursery rhyme over and over again in a really tinny microphone
Everybody: the sound is horrifying
Me: how does this sound better than a 1 dollar mic
before: mom i want these dolls!
after: mom i don't want these dolls!

Maybe it malfunctioned way before she was bought by a parent to their kid? Like the wax melting or something?

Funny thing is that could probably happen if the brake failed
Scaring the shit out of kids since 1894😱

True
Out of silly kids, that is.
I wonder how amazed ppl were when these were made
No,they were terrified,that’s a fact.

Edison was a thug who stole inventions...👁👄👁👍🏼
Nobody's arguing that it isn't groundbreaking for the day but you can't tell with a straight face that this thing isn't absolutely nightmarish
@@mobius273 Utterly charming! 🙂 I just LOVE the thought behind the idea.
That’s so cool and the voice is a bit terrifying 😂🤚🏻 I would love to own one
I thought it was cool and not scary... until I just imagined really owning one and keeping it in my house.😱 No way! 🙅♀️😂
1894: kids: OMG CREEPY SUPER CREEPY
2021: kids: OMG DAD USE THE SHOTGUN
I rather yeet the doll away
How cool were those dolls?
I read they didn’t sell well at the time, children and adults found them “frightening”.
The falls are okay but the voice hurt my ears
What falls? I didn't see any.
I bet Danny Elfman would love one of these, maybe he even has one
oingo boingo fan spotted
Just saw a video where a (dealer) paid $3,000 for a damaged Edison doll.
No I only think about the phone I used to own when I think of his name, it’s literally Sony eddison but it always reminds me of that phone.
You mean Sony Ericsson
I thought that was MO ROCCA from the DAILY SHOW! What a small world.
This thing is creepy as hell but also interesting as fuck
And then came Chatty Cathy!
It sucks people idolize this guy. He was a right bastard.
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE DOLL FACTORY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"The talking part of it is the innovation..."
Really? Not the idea of the doll?
I would never have guessed.
DC project was totally based on tesla.... he was the one who worked on dc .. and not Thomas Edison
It would have been more intersting if the doll sat up, and turned it head and spoke answers back to the woman and guy.
Lol! That sounds frightening!!!
😱 That would be exorcism time! 😆
O M G! this is amazing
Ah yes, Edison definitely invented all of these and didn't just put his name on something someone working for him made
Silly, I find them on the contrary so sweet, I‘d have loved to have them as a child
I want one that's so cool
3:35 What does it say?
he was angry because he didn`t hear an original one
I want one!
Amazing
That was aired today cbs 👧
Never turn on subtitles on the last part 😬😬
Lmao! I didn't need subtitles to recognize that. It's a famous prayer kids use to say before bed.

The sound is more creepy
😅🙂 queria uma dessa

au clair de la lune

Hi I'm chucky wanna play?
I love T. E. but this Kewpee is CREE-PEE! 😱
#maryshaw
Yes
This is amazing but the host is hard to watch
This dude was on the good wife
Today we have dolls that fart 😮
Weird AL vibes
Woah it looks creepy
It sounds like screaming
😆 They are screaming. The curator explained why around 1:45.
He also stollen lots of inventions from Tesla
I think you mean Westinghouse stole ideas from Edison. Tesla was his employee for a while, so Telsa's ideas belonged to Edison. Tesla would be considered on the spectrum today
@@Chungustav yes he was potentially on the autistic spectrum so he deserves no respect or recognition. good one.
OK BuzzFeed we get it.
He stole nothing from tesla..he is wizard of Menlo park
@@Chungustav Who cares that Tesla was an employee of Edison? That doesn't change the fact that Edison ain't sh*t without Tesla!!
yes you 5 year old
I listen to (Stacy) my Edison dill before each black mass I attend
Yeah he got all of those patents because everyone that worked for him had to sign over all their patent rights to Edison and couldn't keep any rights for themselves. Look it up. Edison ain't the hero that he's made out to be. Peace. Out.
Yeah that’s not creepy at all.
