3:48 I believe this type of aesthetic is called Superflat Pop. It focused on vinyl figures, grafftti, and bright colors. It might still be around to this day.
THANK YOU!!
@@Raymundo_2112 No probs! Keep making great videos.
Yea, it's definitely still around although in much rarer cases. Tokidoki still uses it.
YES. They're so bland nowadays! They were SO much better!
The Poopsiecorn commercial is an example of how bland toy commercials are nowadays
@ShamarKemet well that's not a bad thing right
@@rhysthepokemonandmsmguy2007 dang isn't that a little too harsh
Exactly! That's what I'm saying, the toys nowadays are boring & cheap quality made. I wish I grew up in the 2000's because they had much better toys than the one's now.
@Combo Cat that's not true
The mix of horror and nostalgia on this channel shouldn't work but it works so well. Love it!!
Sort of like "The Librarians" mix of creepy & comfy.
unfortunately there's a lot of millennials on RUclips, it's the majority because they grew up with RUclips, in reality the 90's were the best, why? because it bridged the gap between bad tech and good tech, 2000's kids already had PS2 and N64 ect, cellphones were already popular... it wasn't a defining area, it's just that millennials are LOUDER, more ignorant and they believe they are entitled to an age that they didn't grow up in (what the 90s kids experienced). It's sad, 2000 kids basically just wish they were 90s kids but think the word "aesthetic" means a theme from a specific age, no sorry it's an artistic explanation that millennials shouldn't use.
Why wouldn't it work? It's literally what 90% of horror content is like now, extremely nostalgia based
nostalgia and horror always mix well
There's honestly nothing better than some 2000's nostalgia
I agree

@@fml2266yall weirdos really be writing essays saying yours is outright better rather than just admitting its an opinion lmaoo
@@dairyking6514 Ikr. I hate pretentious people who think their nostalgia is objective. People say, "They don't make good cartoons anymore." And yeah they make wayyyy better ones these days. I wouldn't know much about toys since I son't really collect toys anymore, except Nendoroids.
Agreed, rawr XD.
That “OR GRANDCHILD” in the pillow pets commercial really worked wonders because my sister and I each received a pillow pet from each grandmother. I still have both of mine, I have used them to prop up my pillow my whole life and they are both holding up quite well! A little flat but still good on the outside :)
Does anyone remember this brand of toys that were battery-powered hamsters that you could collect? They were called Zhu-Zhu Pets, and I became an avid collector of them. They came in many skins, and they would move and turn every time you turned them on. There was one major rule: Don't get hair in the wheels. There were also side series like Zhu-Zhu Pet Babies and Kung Zhu. I think I had around 30 of them, and my first ones were Nugget and Scoodles. I think it started with around 6 or 12 to collect, but then it grew over the years. I remember having this Pizza set where your Zhu-Zhu Pet would go into a drive through, and these wheels hidden inside would make the treadmill transport the pizza boxes into a delivery scooter, and your Zhu-Zhu pet would drive in the scooter. Those toys were cool af. I think I stopped collecting around 2012, but they made me become a collector of things in the future.
Yes! I had a pink one, my sister had a yellow one, and we shared a third white one. They made those little noises and rolled around the kitchen, so cute! But like you mentioned, my parents were worried we’d get our hair in the wheels lol. I think they also had some zhu zhu mice in later years.
@@ratkid_kelp I believe the third one was named "Chunk”, who I think was part of series 1.
My dog killed mine :(
@@trickster6669 Natural hunting instincts
I still have the ds game😂
It's really nice to see representation of Gogo's Crazy Bones. Not many videos about toys from the 2000s usually mention them. Really Love your videos keep up the amazing content!
Facts. I was just watching this just cuz then when he mentioned Crazy Bones I got so happy!
I used to have a mad collection of those! They were baller.

@@fml2266 Millennials by definition were born in between 1980 and 1990, so with that being said, it sounds like you are the ignorant one and it sounds like you yourself are the millennials you speak of
@@fml2266the y2k asthetic is a whole different thing stfu. No one was a kid during the 2000s saying "dam I wish I was 2 console generations back not playing shit like halo with online multi-player." You are just a dumbass mainly because millennials are the generation you're praising not the one you think you're talking about.
i miss 2000's toys, there was something about them. especially the gross ones, i was a huge fan of my little pony, littlest pet shop, shopkins, the grossery gang. i loved it all and i am just really sad that they don't produce toys like that anymore. i know that as time progresses and things change, everything else will have to change too. but god, i'd kill for them to bring back the og designs of say monster high. or anything that was once in the 2000's because it totally fits me as a person and they are all my style.
You probably grew up on generation 3

I'm glad you gave attention to Lego and how good it was during the mid 2000s to early 2010s. Most of my collection has sets from during that time. SpongeBob, City, Marvel, Toy Story, early Ninjago, Pharaoh's Quest, Atlantis, Batman, Hero Factory, and of course Star Wars and Bionicle. Lego has never been better and it was truly the peak.
I don't collect much now but Lego was huge for me as a kid.
Oh my gosh you just unlocked a memory with the Spongebob Lego sets. I remember building a Spongebob Lego set and all the power in my house was out because there was a tornado going through my neighborhood. I remember that the tornado actually hit out neighbor’s house and ripped out their newly built porch.
Growing up in the 2000s was the greatest childhood of all time! Anyone remember Gormiti? I remember being obsessed with those little figures as a kid and played with them so much.
I have so many
I swear Gormiti were so cool im suprised it was not popular in USA Like in croatia, Italy and South America
dude omg, the ads for them were so cool
Omg in italy they were so popular! Even if I haven't grown in the 2000s (I've grown more in the 10s) I remember them clearly. I'm not sure but I think plenty of kids still play with them
(I apologize for my bad English I'm not a native speaker)
I thought they were only a italian thing since I grew up in italy
The Gogo’s Crazy Bones art style is similar to Superflat, an aesthetic created by Takashi Murakami.
I was thinking it reminds me of frutiger metro
AAAAAAA THANKS FOR THE HEART!!!
@@JFed4 That too!
As a 2000's kid, I miss all the childhood toys like Shopkins and Zhu-Zhu pets. I feel like all the kids toys now are just.. not on the same level.
Maybe just maybe it's because you're not a kid... really, might beans was just sooo much better?
i miss shopkins 😭😭
Omg I remembered I had a lot of mighty beads and sinkies when I was little.😭 Bro just help me unlocked a distant memory.
Bruh I’m telling you, the 2000’s-2010’s life was PEAK.
Politics didn’t exist to us yet, we weren’t scared of the uncertain future and all we cared about was what cool thing was up at the time! Seriously I wish I could live in this time period again ngl
I’m also thinking of writing some story that takes inspiration from the nostalgia of 2000’s-2010s and its villains are based on Gen Z childhood trauma
Do it we need creativity now more then ever in this era of blandness!
Last paragraph is so cringe
@Ignochomp99 uh this era is not blandness
@@assassin8636 Don't bother. Probably just some nihilist moron who can't handle the reality the world isn't giving them everything they ever wanted.
@@assassin8636I think they mean media such as Disney
I feel like the 90s also had an obsession with gross out, I think it was nickelodeon that started that trend
Or Cartoon Network, too?
@@TheSapphireLeo nah, nickelodeon started making cartoons in the early 90s, cartoon network became a thing in the late 90s
bro really got me unlocking hidden memories like they're achievements bruh 😭
This made me think about the memories I had seeing old toy commercials and really wanting the toy and I realized that toy commercials just no longer feel the same
Such a nostalgia rabbithole. Despite being a 2010s kid I grew up with 2000s content, since apparently Finland has always been a bit delayed with the times. The cooking toys, the gross out toys, it's all so nostalgic. I rememver being in preschool and being disgusted by my classmate since he owned some Garbage Pack things! I remember begging my dad for so many of these toys. The magic balloon things, the pillow pets especially! I remember seeing the advertisements and BEGGING my dad for one. I remember seeing them at Prisma and being so jealous of anyone who got them :)
I remember my cousin having some of those cooking toys and loving them. I distinctly remember seeing the slushie thing and wanting one... I wanted everything, TBH 😂 my uncle (who is the same age as me, don't ask how that works) had a Play Doh cookign toy and it was so cool. I was enameted by it. The Play Doh looked so dang tasty! We didn't have the plastic balloon things, but we had something similar. These bubbles that you could blow and hold with special gloves! They were so darn sticky.
I remember seeing some American advertisements on RUclips and being jealous of them! Not necessarily 2000s, but I remember being obsessed with Animal Jam and being so upset to not have Walmart here.
Anyways, thank you for this goldmine of nostalgia!
Edit: AHAHAHA I had the Potato! I don't know where he is now, but I had him! I remember playing a lot with him :)
Us 2000s kids really had an amazing era just like you said, before crazy technology. Good times😭❤️
The 2000s is just peak everything
I had the earlier version of Creepy Crawlers as a kid where you actually cooked the bugs. I LOVED bugs so naturally it was one of my favorite toys. The only thing is that the smell was absolutely horrible and I can still vividly remember the smell 20ish years later. I didn't have a lot of the toys mentioned in this vid but the Creepy Crawlers definitely brought back some burning rubber scented nostalgia
You had a Thingmaker from 1964?
@@katgirl476 I had either the 90s version or the 2001 version, not sure exactly which one it was.
Omg dude I remember the old commercial rabbit hole on RUclips I used to watch them for HOURS! Such good memories.
That aesthetic is based on what is commonly referred to as "designer toys" but the ones you showed are geared more for kids, obviously. Designer toys are generally abstract in appearance, sometimes it takes a political jab at society, or maybe it's just influenced by pop culture or modern art. They span all sorts of concepts. There are some really cool websites that sell designer toys.
6:43 this gives me so much nostalgia from a video I saw as a kid, I was a 2010s kid and I remember a toy review from some grown man and just seeing that made SO MUCH memories flow in
Man, I was born in '93 and literally remember all of these commercials. I actually found some of my Mighty Beanz recently at my parent's house recently! I had some of the cool gross-out balls too, those were my favorites with worms and blood in them. Good video, really brought back my old memories~
I was so infatuated with GoGo Crazy Bones, that In the late 2000’s my uncle suprised me by signing me up to become an ambassador for the toy. They sent me a limited edition gogo and a little card that had the model number for the ambassador gogo. Only 5000 were made.
Ive recently started a job at my old elementary school as the custodian. Its my first time getting a job too, so listening to your videos as a clean the school is very tranquil and to make it better my mom is also the custodian here at the school so shes teaching me the basics. Thank you once agian for making these videos and you are an inspiration to me raymundo 😁😁 ❤
it's so weird to hear people talk about watching The Hub as kids nowadays, I used to watch it in high school because I was big in the Brony Fandom in my late teens, it really doesn't feel like it's been that long but I keep forgetting I'm almost 30 😂
I loved MLP on The Hub but it’s what got me obsessed with Transformers because Transformers Prime would play before
@@saintsprayer727 Transformers Prime is still probably the best Animated Iteration of the property, Shit's incredible
For me it was coming home from school to watch a episode of Dan Vs on the Hub. I'll be 25 this year and I am so not ready
Gogo's hold a special place in my heart right beside Lego.
I basically turned them into "Pokemon" for my Lego minifigures since they were around the same size lol.
This was such a wholesome video loved it! seeing mighty beanz again gave me a blast from the past. I remember getting pokemon themed mighty beanz with a race track for one of my birthdays as a kid, good memories
I remember my first memories of Mighty Beanz when my classmates brought them to school and I remember being so in awe and so jealous and I BEGGED my mom to get me some and she refused; this absolute chad of a classmate gave me one and I couldn’t have been any happier
I based my entire room of of the aesthetic of early 2000's/2010's girl nostalgia I have everything from barbie CD ROM games to obscure doll lines from the time
Its interesting to see a perspective on boys toys. I didn't pay much attention to these commercials as a kid, since they weren't aimed at me.
6:14 I must say, you're great at doing a radical surfer dude voice.
Nice video👍 I can't explain why, but kinda gives off a cozy, comfortable, and vibe. And I usually hate long videos. Wouldn't mind if you'd make a part 2 :)
Man I'm loving these 2000's nostalgia videos! Thanks for making these!
I absolutely loved the video. Even though I didn't grow up in the 2000's it was still a blast seeing all of those weird toys you guys grew up with. One that I would add was the Angry Birds Star Wars telepods ads or Angry Birds commercials in general (and yeah they technically don't fall under 2000's neither does the 3ds)
That clay dinosaur commercial unlocked a hidden memory for me! That's so crazy I had no recollection of it until you showed those clips! Great video as always
My man, I absolutely love and adore you for this video. I actually had the same experience with this ad rabbit hole thing when I was like 7 or something and couldn't even understand English, but I still would spend hours watching these random advertisements. I thought I would never hear anybody talk about these, and I really could not find them by myself (I completely forgot the names), but here we are. Thank you for this vid, it may possibly be one of my favorite youtube videos of all time, just because of sheer nostalgia it brought me
I was watching this video with a big dumb smile the whole time. Thanks for reminding me of better times
Aww that’s awesome I love to hear that
Finally someone who talks about the trash pack! I had so many of them and the garbage truck. They were awesome.
I love how you also went down the toy commercial rabbit hole as a kid! That was all I used to watch on RUclips.
Stretch Screamers are still something my dad and I talk about to this day. We both loved those things. They also had a McDonalds line that was pretty awesome
I miss the 2000s. Most of the toys of that time I never got but I remember getting a Ladybug Pillow Pet! I have a big one and a mini one! I remember seeing the Slushy Magic commercial, but I didn’t get it. I also got some LEGO City sets and after all this time I still even remember the digit number for my first LEGO set. I also looooved Hot Wheels cars and the playsets and I used to be an avid collector of them.
The slushie magic cup did actually work for me! It didn’t make it like a slushie from a mixer, but it was a very passable slushie.
From my experience some were better than others because I had one that was pretty good and the slushies it made were pretty dam close to a proper slushie, the only downside is they were fairly small because a third of the cup space was taken up by the cold pack thing
oh boy, i never had any of these toys as kid but watching the commercials on youtube back then is always fun
that video whas a great nostalgia trip ... i remember so man stinky, trash or toilet toys from the early 2000´s ... bionicle´s where so cool i remember watching the first bionicle movie with my dad i just wish i had them all to build the big super bionicle´s !!! ...
Saw the title and like the words 2000’s compared with ad’s really hit me
Thank you so much!!!!
I found a toy in my little brother's room about a month ago and I was suddenly hit by a big wave of nostalgia when I picked it up even though I didn't remember it really. Thanks to this video, I know it's a go go crazy bones and I have such strong feelings towards it because of those crazy ads.
Great video!
I always loved how goofy these ads were lol
Absolutely ecstatic to see gogos crazy bones I had a MASSIVE collection of them and haven’t heard a single person talk about them. I thought they were a weird fever dream for a bit lol.
I remember always watching the toy ads on my old tv, the toys were always overpriced or not sold in my country. I remember wanting this one big robot dinosaur pet.
In mid-2010's (2014-2015ish) gogo's came back to life here in Brazil with a Disney collab, and ALL the kids went nuts! I myself remember being OBSSESED with this mini disney figures when i was like 8, and all the kids at school and my family had them !! It was truly awesome, and they same in blind bags too, with a 4 stickers for the sticker album... great times!
The aesthetic is called Frutiger Aero
Literally a great era for toys and mostly my childhood toys kind were 2000s
we had such a similar childhood interest wise 😭 watching this was so nostalgic i adore ur channel dude can't wait for u to get even more recognition!
I loved the iDog as my first speaker outside of my radio at the time. Lived in apartment at the time and I would bring it outside to play music with my friends who lived there too and let them use it sometimes. I remember turning it on and the growl turned into a "bark bark bark" plus the whine it made when it turned off. I loved it "dancing" too.
This video was very nostalgic I remember going to the store back in the day and seeing a huge isle of clone wars toys and it just made me so happy even knowing I couldn't afford most of it haha. This videos was great it would be cool to see a video about nostalgic PSA's.
If you really enjoyed the lego rock monsters, I remember there being a movie that had an opening scene with them in it, it was called clutch powers.
Clutch powers was peak
8:17
watched this bc i LOVED watching early 2000's toy commercials and wasn't expecting a reference to my current hyperfixation LMAO this is why i love ur vids :')
Awww. You bringing up dream jelly is so cute! I have been watching them since the first upload! No wonder your videos showed up for me. ♡
I'm so happy you mentioned Trash Pack I had so many like a decade ago. I never had a toys r us near me so when we did drive out to one I'd buy them immediately. Luckily target and walgreens stocked them
Man I remember watching cartoon Network and seeing a TON of ads for toys back in around 2008.
The ads were always better than the toys themselves in my experience though.
I too miss that like 2004-2007 odd sort of artsyle. It oozes Hot Topic to me, and I really do miss it.
Thank you for doing this. I know it helped a lot of kinds remember some of the things they had (I had a 10-20 trash pack collection 10 that I def bought myself one was from series three and gold or whatever the rare was at that moment) and I lost most if not all childhood toys due to my parents splitting and storages not getting paid for. The trash packs are deff long gone but I do definitively have a couple strong arms and such from the affordable line or nerf guns…
I could comment a lot on different things throughout the video but it’s cool to hear an underrated gem of a song being covered by MCR in the background. Summertime is such a good song.
I was one of the poor kids of the 2000's who could never afford most of the good stuff, having to instead go for dollar store trash, But the one toy I managed was Bionicle's. I remember when them spider Bionicle's came out, me and my siblings literally covered a whole room in yarn to act as webs. Glad I have money now, but them small moments in my childhood I cherish.
I legit thought the same thing before you mentioned the theory about the September 11th incident changing the atmosphere of the USA while you where talking about how dark and creepy the things were..
I remember the pillow pets ad 😭it really brings me back. I still have the unicorn and my brother has the frog. Fun fact my grandma got it for us💀
Tech deck dudes....they legit where the shit growing up as a kid. Plus each "dude or dudette" you got had their own theme/vibe and name that was usually pun based off their characters.
Haven't seen the video yet but my favorite parts of the toy ads are definitely the animated sequences. Like if it's a Barbie hair salon commercial and then we see a 2D-animated barbie getting her hair done.
The idog was the first big thing that capitalized off of the success of the iPod. Also I wish times stayed in the mid-late 2000’s just before the rise of social media going into at the latest the early 2010s. Times were vastly different, things felt fun, like there was infinite opportunity. I feel the late 2010s going into the 2020s are incredibly boring and increasingly corporatized.
Bro this was one of THE most comfortable yt videos I've ever seen man I miss thw 2000s also loved how you had the lofi (I'm yours)by jason maraz definitely one iv my favorite nostalgic songs 🎵 ❤️
Wow, Beautiful video. I had a whole set of GoGos crazy bones and only remembered until now. Had the whole book and everything. Thank you
A large collection of Bionicles, you say? You wouldn't happen to also collect Transformers, would you? Cuz that would definitely do it for me, lol!
Your mom sounds like an incredible person
Amazing video, loved it. With that being said, it also made me realize I was way poor as a little kid in the 2000s. I barely got to GO to Toys R Us, never got to pick anything, and I have never had a toy from a commercial, despite my nostalgia amd love for them. Interesting what retrospect can reveal
randomly clicked ur video to have something playing while i work and found you make great background noise while i make art! good job on the video dude im about to check out more of your stuff :)
Raymundo playing with toys is so wholesome
The metal fight beyblades will always be my favorite childhood toy. They were simple but very fun to play with. Also, really miss lego spongebob.
ena
my brother loved them but we lost our beyblade privileges because we’d chuck them at each other when we were fighting
When toys were imaginative, creative, wild, wacky, and actually detailed and built with some sort of quality. Nowadays when I walk past the toy aisle everything seems injection molded into one piece to save money. We had some weird toys but most toys now don’t have a gimmick and it’s just static. A toy you can throw away or donate without a thought of keeping it.
GoGos were my childhood! I use to have so many! I use to love the little magazines you use to get in the UK that you could stick the stickers in.
W mario galaxy pajamas
Nothing beats the Lego Star Wars from the era.
Thanks for the video bro so much nostalgia!
I’d wish Lego would remake or make new sets for bionicle. When I was younger, I never knew they existed, but, now iv been wanting at least one guy.
Great video 😊
Bioncle is a timeless gen
I was punched in the face with nostalgia and flashbacks the moment I heard the pillow pets theme, was not ready for that.
God I absolutely loved the Crazybones series of blindbag toys. My parents even got me the collectors books and would often use them as things like stocking stuffers. I think I still have most of them back at my family home, but I kept the little grimm reaper one and I set him on the speakers on my desk.
When i was 6 or something the pillow pet commercial song got stuck so bad in my brain i sang it all the time so much that my parents got so sick of it and decided to buy me one and end the suffering
Im now 18 and i still have it👍
damn don't you hate it when you're trying to get goth cooch and her necklace makes you go into a luigi's mansion induced panic attack and she turns into a gamecube smh 🤦♂😒😒
Story of my life
Heading Billy cobb was crazy here. Love the video dude, very nostalgic!
Awesome video dude! Also TBF I had the GoGos Crazy bones but I lost them all, it’s a shame cuz I wanted to make a huge collection. And I also had the interaction Wall-E and It stopped moving after I haven’t played with it for a while but it still talks and the eyes light up still, idfk why but I fixed it in 2022 cuz there was a Broken Gear in the gear box and I replaced the broken gear, put him back together and it’s now working 100% so ye! They were cool. ❤❤
it really depends, some of it are just carried by nostalgia.
How lucky can you be to live in time square growing up. I always wanted to go to toys r us NY as a kid
I remember Crazy Bones only because here in Finland some parents bought it thinking it was candy. And then the kid or they themselves bit one and hurt their teeth. Those were often sold at the grocery stores near the cash registers and also candy in the same size bags was sold there so the mistake was easy to make if you were in a hurry. Let's just hope that no one choked to death with these toys.
Gogos crazy bones ran my childhood for awhile there, I’d be so hyped when a new series would be announced. Trash pack brought back a lot of memories. Such a great video
Damn, some of these commercials were a trip to memory lane for me. I used to own a pretty good number of Trash Pack toys (I used to call them "Trashies" as a kid), I remember getting the Make Your Own Martian toy as shown in this video, and I also owned a ton of Gogos and Squishies. I remember Pillow Pets and the Slushy Magic advertisements playing a lot on DisneyXD whenever I came back from my local Playground Program as a kid. Also shoutout to those Super Hero Squad and also to that Star Wars series, I used to collect a ton of those toys and had a blast.
I freaking love videos like this. You have such an epic nostalgia toy collection 🔥 I’m big jelly
You're bringing back toys I forgot I even had (and still have, somewhere) like GoGos, Id see the few I still had but I forgot completely what they were (I still remember the day I got them, just couldn't remember the name) or all the gross out toys there used to be. I absolutely love that street art graffiti, crude/rude 2000s style, but that's probably because it's what I grew up with lol. I remember NickToons (I think) also having that disgusting gross out theme for a while where there was like, trash and flies on the "coming up next" sequences
So much nostalgia wrapped up in this video. And the fact that you brought up Bionicle!!
