Anyone who ever had a Furbee remembers how god damn annoying those things could get when they wouldn't go to sleep or would randomly wake up and start making noise, even when you put them in your closet.
I loved my Big Mac and Green Machine in the 70s. Funny, I was just thinking I wonder if they had those in the UK and right as I was thinking it, Aiden said Green Machine. That answered that. There are a lot of other things I remember that were pretty popular that they didn't mention--Simon Says, (was that the name?) Etch-A-Sketch, Stretch Armstrong, Connect Four, Speak and Spell, Shrinky Dinks lmao
Man, everyone use to have beanie babies. The most expensive one was a limited edition tribute to Princess Diana. One sold for $20,000 a handful of years ago.
4:38 🤣 Those who choose to laugh at themselves understand comedy completely. Merry Christmas Daz, Gaynor, and Aidan! 🎄 Actually, it’s Festivus today. Happy Festivus!
Gaynor, I live in Texas and I’m 56. When I was around 3 or 4 I got a doll for Christmas that sounds like the one you mentioned but it was called Peggy Penpal.
I'll never forget Christmas 1990. My family moved to the UK from the USA that summer. Parents got us Nintendo that year... legend! Realizing now they paid hundreds of dollars for it at the time.
My friend had a Teddy Ruxspin and we would put tapes with rock songs on it and the bear looked like he was singing. Very entertaining for nine-year-olds. I was a Transformer's and GI Joe kid all the way. Then Nintendo when it came out.
Oh no....not the Furby--anything but the Furby. That creepy thing woke us up at 3:00am talking after we knew for a fact we'd turned it off! Imagine being 9 years old and all of a sudden waking up to "FURRRBYYYYY" in the middle of the night!? My sister put it in the garage so we couldn't hear it. We threw it out the next day.
My favorite gift was a portable Disc Golf cage. I used it all the time. I still have it. My son, nieces and nephew still use it a lot, but just typically in the yard.
My mom was always cheap and we got little cheap things, but one Christmas my grandma bought me the original Nintendo. My mom even tried to talk her out of it saying it was more expensive then the siblings got. It was my favorite gift and I still have it and use it to this day!
I had a lot of these including a light attachment that clipped onto the Gameboy so you could play it at night and it lit up the whole area around the screen
My sister had a cabbage patch kid and a furby. I was born in '89 but my favorite '90s was my blue doodle bear. I still have it! My mom got into a fight for my brother's tickle me Elmo and then somebody offered her $500 for it that Black Friday, she didn't take it. My brother's favorite toy for years. I also vaguely remember my sister's Teddy rocksbin. My dad thought it was hilarious to play his Ozzy Osbourne cassette tapes in it. What he didn't find funny is when I watched the Ninja turtles cartoon and the movie and I shoved slices of pizza down in the sewer outside of where we lived because I thought they were down there. I got my butt whooped.
I am surprised Lego blocks were not mentioned, I think one of my favorite toys were the toy cap guns I got. You put the roll of paper or that plastic ammo for the revolver and play cops and robbers.
over here in Iran i think we didnt really have the popular toys from 80s and 90s, just the gaming consoles. but when i was born, in the early 2000s, it was easier to get lots of stuff, like i grew up on buzz lightyear, marvel and dc characters, ninja turtles and g.i joe, i mean i even had a full set of marines and when u would push the buttons on one of em's back it would play the national anthem which i looooooooved and knew every word of it even as a 6 y.o who doesnt speak english and lives in iran lol. and i went on buying american or america-related entertainment products, like to this day.
I literally had every one of those toys from 1980 to 1993 with the exception of My Little Pony, TMNT, and Talkboy. But my sister had the ponies and my best friend had the turtles...😅
Everyone on my block was Nintendo, but I decided to ask Santa for Sega Master System. Man, what fun games! Reggie Jackson baseball, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Out Run, Space Harrier. Then Laser Tag a few years later. My sisters loved My Little Pony and Cabbage Patch Kids. Barbie, too, of course.
Friend of mine had a stretch Hulk Hogan who took a little trip to the microwave in order to stretch some more. Suffice to say the microwave started smoking, but man was he stretchy after that. And a bit goopy.
10:11 This is completely false. The Sega Genesis was NOT 32 bits. It was 16 bits, same as the SNES. Sega came out with a so-called 32 bit add-on much later, but hardly anyone bought it, and it was rendered irrelevant. There. That was my "Well ACKshually" moment. Thank you for attending.
i collected Pokémon cards and Yu-Gi-Oh cards, i played Pokémon games on my Game Boy Advance i still have my Game Boy Advance and only one game Pokémon Sapphire Version i don't know where my Pokémon & Yu-Gi-Oh cards went
That $89.99 Gameboy is about $225 in 2024 USD. The game that cost $29.99 is equivalent to about $75 and the ones that cost $19.99 are equivalent to about $50. We tend look at these things and say "things were so cheap back then" but not really. Not unless you have a time machine and you can work in 2024 then go back to 1989 and buy things. It feels like a $75 game is too expensive these days when really that's what we were paying all along adjusted for inflation. The NES was $199 at launch in 1985, which is about the same as $580 in 2024, more than a PS5 but less than a PS5 Pro.
I was born in January of 83 and my mom told stories about her fighting to get me a Cabbage Patch doll. I thought she was full of shit until later in my life I saw videos of it.
Daz’s childhood stories are hilarious. 😂
I don’t think Aiden believes Gaynor’s comment he fought over beanie babies with Declan - look at his face!😂😂😂 12:45
Straight denial. 😂😂
It looks like the memory is hitting him and replaying through his head 😂

There may be a time in the future where many kids don't play with toys at all, definitely cherished many of the toys in this video as a kid lol
Did not expect to see a young Candice Cameron Bure in a cabbage Patch kids pic.
Aiden! IMAGINATION, that is what it takes to play with many toys. That is something massively lacking in the last 25 years or more with children

Guy's parents just outed him. Tickle-me-Elmo? Hahaha. I had a Kermit the Frog doll, so . . .

Guess no one noticed Screech from saved by the Bell holding the GI Joe box 17:00
I thought he looked familiar, but I wasn't sure

Favorite Christmas toys: a Big wheel plastic tricycle and a sleeping bag with Garfield the cat on it. Merry Christmas to all...
3:48 "What do you do with that?" If it's My Little Pony you can blow it up with a firecracker I guess.
My coolest Xmas present was probably Metallica tickets for their new year's eve show in '97. They played for 3 hours that night.
My favorite gift was a portable Disc Golf cage. I used it all the time. I still have it. My son, nieces and nephew still use it a lot, but just typically in the yard.

I had to drive about three hours to North Georgia where the Cabbage Patch Dolls are "born" to get one!!
Surprised LiteBrite didn’t make the list somewhere. Maybe that was 70’s tho and I came late to the party. lol
@ lol damn, that was MY favorite toy in like 1989 🍻

In the US Army we had issued eyeglasses. The Soldier’s would call them BCD’s (Birth Control Devices).

I never quite got into TMNT.............
Then you literally didn't have ever one of them.
@@emichelsI was into the turtles. I just didn't have the toys. I had He-man and Transformers....
I remember the popularity of all of these.
Everyone on my block was Nintendo, but I decided to ask Santa for Sega Master System. Man, what fun games! Reggie Jackson baseball, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Out Run, Space Harrier. Then Laser Tag a few years later. My sisters loved My Little Pony and Cabbage Patch Kids. Barbie, too, of course.
i am shocked people genuinely fought for furbies cause kids always ended up terrified of them
Yelp life was amazing back then
You guys gotta find those Pokemon cards and make a video going through them. It would be really interesting and they might be worth something
Friend of mine had a stretch Hulk Hogan who took a little trip to the microwave in order to stretch some more. Suffice to say the microwave started smoking, but man was he stretchy after that. And a bit goopy.
My pretty pony…….you comb and braid their hair.
Drones might not be too popular after the spectacular failure of a drone light show in Orlando Florida.
What can you do with "My Little Pony" ? Well, There were several parody videos and numerous memes about the "My Little Pony Glue Factory" .

Pokémon cards are still huge with adults and children, as soon as they’re in stock at our local Walmart, within a week the whole shelf is empty.
