When I was a teenager, we all glossed over these shitty text sounds in favour of a recording I made just saying "Texty Texty" that somehow became so popular amongst my peers that nobody knew which of us actually received a text. I hope it's still floating around somewhere out there.
@@ennayanne breaking news! different people have different senses of humor, and what constitutes a joke to you may fall flat and humorless to someone else, and vice versa! this may be shocking to hear, but drink a glass of water and i'm sure you'll manage to calm down. and if you couldn't tell, this too is a joke, at your expense, so i don't blame you if you don't find it funny! but i'll be sure to phone you up if i ever need to yuck someone's yum and throw a wet blanket into the mix. (that was also a joke, just to be clear)
I remember being a kid with no phone and seeing this ads thinking "wow that must be soo cool, like, people hear it and think you're hilarious" thank christ I was too young I avoided embarrassing myself like that
My dad had one of those for a week as my mom had a warning husband calling as a joke. He out did her with it xD so i started with warning man/dad is calling xD as a kid i thought I was being funny
The Crazy Frog sound is a pitch-shifted version of a recording made in 1997, by a Swedish 17 year old student, Daniel Malmedahl, imitating a two-stroker moped. This became a national meme. The animator who made Crazy Frog is also Swedish, but he didn't know that the originator of the sound was a fellow countryman. Malmedahl is now 44 years old and still lives in Sweden, but he has no online presence. We know that, at the height of the Crazy Frog craze, 20 years ago, he was a computer pars salesman who occasionally did musical comedy.
Crazy Frog guy feels like the victim of a Monkey's Paw. Like, when he speaks he's remembering the finger, slowly, painfully, closing toward the palm. _"I wish to make something to be remembered for generations..."_ And to his unending horror, his wish, indeed was granted...
You just unlocked a deep memory. I used to have a text tone that would just say “Message” over and over, getting louder and increasingly annoyed the longer it went on, until it was screaming MESSAGE at you. I was apparently an unhinged teenager.
Yeah, I think my brother had that one. I definitely heard it a few times. I found it funny at the time. But, like most novelties, its appeal didn't last long and it just became really damn annoying.
It was a pre-loaded ringtone on some phones, can't recall which brand. But I vividly remember multiple friends & work colleagues stumbling onto it when they were searching for a new notification sound, and it was the same result every time.... it would play, we'd all laugh, someone would comment about how annoying it would be, and it was immediately skipped. I never heard it actually used as a notification sound, even out in public... one of the few default ringtones that seemed to be universally avoided!
I used to have one that said "Help! I'm trapped in this guy's pants! Help! Naw, I'm just kidding... I'm actually trapped in this phone! Get me outta here! Naw, I'm just kidding... You've just got a phone call."
Most monophonic phones had a feature where you could compose your own ringtone, which meant you could just compose the tune from these ads yourself rather than pay $3 for them. Polyphonic felt like a downgrade to me because I couldn't self-pirate ringtones
I saw the ad for the "So Alone" ringtone as a kid and lemme say the video LODGED itself into my brain for YEARS until I stumbled across the German version of the song on RUclips a while ago. I was genuinely really happy to have found it. Honestly I love both versions.
We didn't have cell phones when i was a kid, but we could technically change the error messages on the apple computers at school by recording our voices. There were so many instances of someone getting an error and just hearing a child screaming. Good times.
18:37 That's loud enough that it would cause permanent hearing damage in less than 8 hours. Possibly as little as 15 minutes. 72 hours would fuck you up.
Yeah, if you have to raise your voice to be heard, that’s above 80 db, which in workplace safety is the point at which you’re supposed to start wearing ear protection. 80+ db for 72 hours straight would almost certainly lead to some permanent hearing damage.
I also want to add onto the fact that Anna Blue and another German artist Damien Dawn were actually going to go to Jamster earlier this year to break out of their contract as they were still tied to the company. But because the company basically closed, it basically froze the social medias of both artists in which they can't do anything. They can't even make songs unless they went under a new name. There's a video somewhere that discusses this if you people are interested in learning about this, but even if you don't like these artists you can't help but feel bad that they got screwed over.
How is that even legal holy shit that's fucked up. I hope there's something they can do. Like if they're still under contract, even though Jamster no longer exists, maybe that means Jamster was owned by another company? I'm Definitely going to watch the video
@@RogueError617 Sometimes it's not even the contract (it would probably be expired by now) but intellectual property rights. The names used were probably sold off as part of the company assets when they went down.
I kept up to date on Anna Blue for awhile before she stopped posting, it really sucks that they’re both getting fucked over like that. Can you share what the video you’re referring to is called and or who made it?

But she really loved him. It wasn’t just for his money, she stayed with him even on food stamps and unemployment. The nicest guy but he literally lost everything.

In highschool I downloaded my own custom ringtone I cropped up in a sound editor, and it was Sloth from The Goonies shouting 'hey you guys'. but one day during a test a guy spam texted me and I knew I had to change it.

i distinctly remember these ads playing on nickelodeon and other kid channels when i was watching cartoons so they really weren't beating the "not advertising to kids" allegations, at least in the US
My first phone was a TracFone which didn't support audio files being received through text messages. Instead, I had to buy snippets of songs from the TrakFone store using prepaid minutes. I distinctly remember having "Big Green Tractor" as my ringtone, for which other kids made fun of me at school.
There’s an indie animation series on Newgrounds and RUclips based off Jamster’s commercials and music videos. It’s called Hobo Hobo Funnie Show. I highly recommend it. It really captures the nostalgic 2000s vibes

I've been on a nostalgia trip recently, playing Pokemon and binging old episodes of Top Gear. This video has been the cheaply-animated dancing cherry on top
Old top gear is on loop 24/7 in my house, it’s seriously a huge mood booster for me. The trio practically raised me. My all-time favourite episodes have got to be the invincible Hilux, the one where Clarkson reviews the reliant robin, and of course the Africa Special.
The worst ring tone was the one my dad had on his razer flip phone back in the day it would have an alarm that shouted "warning it's the wife" whenever his wife called and he would show it off to his buddies whenever he saw them. He thought he was so cool.
bro I live in the origin of Jamster (aka Jamba) - Germany at some point MTV was playing 6-8 minutes of Jamba ads straight back to back. Here every pop song was being sold as a ringtone.
I was actually genuinely glad when Jamster came back as a music label with more songs by Damien Dawn and Anna Blue, because it would've really sucked for their music careers to end after only releasing one song each.
When I was a teen I worked part time at a mobile game dev company for QA and stuff and they made games for some of those mascots. But they were all the same fucking game, just the sprites were replaced. So I played the same shitty game not once, not twice, but four times over the course of WEEKS and I had their theme songs stuck in my head the whole time. Seeing Schnuffel still makes me wanna curl up and cry. You cannot imagine my immense hatred for those abominations.
@@Speed_Zamaa From what I remember they were basically Pacman clones. Just level after level of collecting items in labyrinths. There was no story, just running around mindlessly.
The original Crazy frog sound with the F1 cars picture/insanity test was hosted on a site called Tekzoned Polyphonic Ringtones were literally just midi files being crunched through the phone's awful midi library That you could easily just put on your phone without downloading them. You were paying money for midi files.
I was a teenager when these things were big. Trust me, loads of kids in the UK have mobile phones and back then ringtones were one of the things that really could make you seem cool or funny. I knew kids who literally changed their number to try and get out of the Jamster subscription because they couldn't figure out how to do it and were too embarrassed to tell their parents. In hindsight, this was pretty predatory stuff. There was a kid in our class who had a ringtone simply called "teenage buzz" that was a really annoying sound that was apparently at a high enough frequency that many adults couldn't hear it. They'd share it around and people would use it to wind up people in class while the teacher, with no idea what's going on, is telling the complaining teen to stop messing around. Simpler times 😅
I went to Europe in the summer of 06 and can confirm these Jamster commercials were playing constantly. No exaggeration possibly during every commercial break. I was in non-English speaking countries though so a lot of it sounded like absolute nonsense to me to add to the madness 😅
I got to the yummy yummy fat fat part and want to rescind my original comment. Why would you expose me to this? Keep in mind since I was born in 96 I was legally obligated to watch 😂
4:52 I thought this was your laugh until you said it was a fake laugh, if you never mentioned it i would have gone my whole life assuming it was you laughing at the song
I don't know if you heard, but youtube animator Xploshi actually made an entire character that is parody of Jamster ringtones. It's called Violent Vincent, and he's an alien. Who kills people. Because he's violent.
Well this set off childhood memories of ads i didn't know i didn't want to relive. I remember being like 6 years old and crying because I thought they weren't going to play the hamster dance at some stupid disco I was going to. Hadn't thought about that in decades and now, damn. Props
Seeing Erik Wernquist talk about crazy frog reminds me of a picture of Psy I saw being in such turmoil trying to make something after the immense success of gangnam style. like the shame on his face is so palatable as he reminisces about making a stupid frog with his little donger out
What i used to do as a kid to get a music ringtone was do an audio recording/voice memo. Wait for the song to come on the radio station and put the phone up to the speaker get a few recordings. Then set the best one as a ringtone. The quality was really shitty
Back in the day like 2007 I was at work browsing my cell phone store for ringtones and the website would charge you while you were using it so you would have to pick the ringtone quickly so you can pay too much money for it. Well, my district manager happened to walk in while I was browsing, and I stuck my phone in my pocket and sat there for an hour and it burnt up all my data I couldn’t make any phone calls or anything
I miss my poly version of Futurama's ringtone😔 I bought a Nokia 3310 at a market YEARS ago when 2G still worked and some mad lad had programmed Britney's "Toxic" in freaking mono on it. Mobiles were wacky in the 00's.
man. i think they played the gummy bear song and video in the auditorium for all of us as elementary schoolers one time. or that was a fever dream. i’m pretty sure it happened though
"I don't like phones" is David Williams and Matt Lucas from the show Little Britain. A comedy show that is uh... very 2002 in its humour and sensibilities.
Ahhh the early to mid 2000's, where you would bluetooth mp3's to use as your ringtone at school, as opposed to now where i get annoyed if my phone makes a noise Also 9:57 is an impression from a British Sitcom called Little Britian, it was one of the biggest programmes of its time, i remember loving it as a teen. Not really relevant to the video but I wanted to drop some Britisha TV lore
Ahhh, those were the days... many a slightly-tipsy evening was spent with uni friends, "meticulously replicating" (aka. vaguely approximating) a piece of music for each person's Nokia 5110 ringtone using the onboard composer. The later your ringtone was attempted the dodgier it would sound, and the weird mismatched notes would send us into hysterics. Then when we got polyphonic phones you could download ringtone files off the net, and I found an Indiana Jones polyphonic ringtone with a single note that sounds _SO_ wrong it still sends me into uncontrollable laughter to this day. 🤣
I remember as a kid being bombarded with these ads on TV in the mid 2000s (mainly the rabbit, moley, and gummy bear) and I got to the point where they wouldn't stop playing these ads every ad break i got mad and shut off the TV 😂
Omg I loved Schnuffel when I was a little child, I had a plushy of him too that my Father won at a claw machine. I still can clearly remember waking up once at 4 am as a 7 year old to watch some TV and all of these ads where going ON LOOP the entire time and the Schnuffel ones where always my favorite lol
Damn. I forgot all about these commercials.. I was already old and at the point I wasn't watching television but I do remember these ringtone commercials. Like they would legit have a commercial that would end with "text 'gimme' to 55-55 if you want this ringtone!" Then they'd have ones for games(apps on your phone before smartphones and apps) and then they just started letting you flat out buy things that way. You'd text the automated number and agree to text message agreements and they would charge your cell phone bill. Omg that brings back even more memories of websites doing the same thing!! T-mobile had a thing where you could use your phone number like a credit card! Wow!... So many obscure and pointless memories I had forgotten about.
THE RABBIT... bro i used to watch these ad nauseam in like 2008 when i was a kid and to this fucking day the lyrics of the one with the carrot are in my head. i haven't heard it in over a decade and if this video rekindles it in my brain i might go insane 💖
I was in my early 20s during the time these ads ran in the mid 2000s and didn’t have cable tv so I missed this entire thing. I’ve heard of crazy frog and was like “so it’s just noise over a sped up version of Beverly Hills cop?” I had no idea it had an animation let alone an extended cinematic universe.
I remember a boy in my year in high school once tried to get the Gummy Bear ringtone but for whatever reason, he ended up getting the song in a foreign language even though we were in an English speaking country.
Jamster songs were sort of my childhood back when i didn't care too much into music, just hearing few i knew long ago was bit nostalgic for me and seeing and hearing these other songs even i too just want to go down the jamster rabbit hole and explore what i miss out on.
I'm a bit younger so I found out about the gummy bear through early 2010s RUclips brain rot and the fact that 1. it was originally a ringtone and 2. it's still a channel that REGULARLY POSTS AND GETS 100,000+ VIEWS is insane

Old top gear is on loop 24/7 in my house, it’s seriously a huge mood booster for me. The trio practically raised me. My all-time favourite episodes have got to be the invincible Hilux, the one where Clarkson reviews the reliant robin, and of course the Africa Special.
Putting on vanilla WoW and chugging a 4Loko to really complete this 00s culture dive.
The worst ring tone was the one my dad had on his razer flip phone back in the day it would have an alarm that shouted "warning it's the wife" whenever his wife called and he would show it off to his buddies whenever he saw them. He thought he was so cool.
Thanks.
I did a good job forgetting all this shit and you’ve dragged it all back up PissBoy Deluxe.
bro I live in the origin of Jamster (aka Jamba) - Germany
at some point MTV was playing 6-8 minutes of Jamba ads straight back to back. Here every pop song was being sold as a ringtone.
Jamba went to hell where it belongs
I was actually genuinely glad when Jamster came back as a music label with more songs by Damien Dawn and Anna Blue, because it would've really sucked for their music careers to end after only releasing one song each.
When I was a teen I worked part time at a mobile game dev company for QA and stuff and they made games for some of those mascots. But they were all the same fucking game, just the sprites were replaced. So I played the same shitty game not once, not twice, but four times over the course of WEEKS and I had their theme songs stuck in my head the whole time. Seeing Schnuffel still makes me wanna curl up and cry. You cannot imagine my immense hatred for those abominations.
if its not too damaging for your brain, can you tell me more about those games please? what were those games about?
@@Speed_Zamaa From what I remember they were basically Pacman clones. Just level after level of collecting items in labyrinths. There was no story, just running around mindlessly.
@@StummerVogel Ive seen some jamster games online, but i never expected pacman clones to be in that list :'0
This is something I didn't ask for but needed so badly
I programmed my own poly ringtones back in the day, and suckers paid for them.
I was probably one of them lol
Hearing you pronounce "Schnuffel" was something I didn't know I needed.
My dad used to have an automatic weapon ringtone
The amount of times I heard that shi at 2am oh my god
watch this video in 144p for the full experience
The original Crazy frog sound with the F1 cars picture/insanity test was hosted on a site called Tekzoned
Polyphonic Ringtones were literally just midi files being crunched through the phone's awful midi library That you could easily just put on your phone without downloading them. You were paying money for midi files.
I was a teenager when these things were big. Trust me, loads of kids in the UK have mobile phones and back then ringtones were one of the things that really could make you seem cool or funny. I knew kids who literally changed their number to try and get out of the Jamster subscription because they couldn't figure out how to do it and were too embarrassed to tell their parents. In hindsight, this was pretty predatory stuff.
There was a kid in our class who had a ringtone simply called "teenage buzz" that was a really annoying sound that was apparently at a high enough frequency that many adults couldn't hear it. They'd share it around and people would use it to wind up people in class while the teacher, with no idea what's going on, is telling the complaining teen to stop messing around.
Simpler times 😅
I went to Europe in the summer of 06 and can confirm these Jamster commercials were playing constantly. No exaggeration possibly during every commercial break.
I was in non-English speaking countries though so a lot of it sounded like absolute nonsense to me to add to the madness 😅
Been a big fan since I came across you on an “In the Field”
Keep up the good work mate
I got to the yummy yummy fat fat part and want to rescind my original comment. Why would you expose me to this? Keep in mind since I was born in 96 I was legally obligated to watch 😂
Been a big fan of you ever since I read this comment, thanks homie!
@@KudosREAL well fuck me homeslice, you might be my biggest fan 😂😂
@@Skyraider_23 nah bro he can't be.
Because I am 😳😳
4:52 I thought this was your laugh until you said it was a fake laugh, if you never mentioned it i would have gone my whole life assuming it was you laughing at the song
These were already old by the time they made their way to youtube.
I remember seeing them on cable TV in 2001 - 2002.
I don't know if you heard, but youtube animator Xploshi actually made an entire character that is parody of Jamster ringtones. It's called Violent Vincent, and he's an alien. Who kills people. Because he's violent.
Well this set off childhood memories of ads i didn't know i didn't want to relive. I remember being like 6 years old and crying because I thought they weren't going to play the hamster dance at some stupid disco I was going to. Hadn't thought about that in decades and now, damn. Props
Why wouldn't they play the hamster dance? I wouldn't go if they didn't play the hamster dance ngl
if jamster was still around i bet they would be making NFT's with these characters.
My text tone is the sexiest sound known to man, an M1 Garand Ping…
Seeing Erik Wernquist talk about crazy frog reminds me of a picture of Psy I saw being in such turmoil trying to make something after the immense success of gangnam style. like the shame on his face is so palatable as he reminisces about making a stupid frog with his little donger out
What i used to do as a kid to get a music ringtone was do an audio recording/voice memo. Wait for the song to come on the radio station and put the phone up to the speaker get a few recordings. Then set the best one as a ringtone. The quality was really shitty
Kodus referencing oneyplays makes me autisticly happy
I could see Chris goin nuts over the monkey
the guy legit sounded like oney's guru larry tho
@@rxblackpill I thought he put in a oney clip, till he said it sounded like one
How is that different than "regular" happy
@@ShermTank7272Connections to other media makes the serotonin spike
Back in the day like 2007 I was at work browsing my cell phone store for ringtones and the website would charge you while you were using it so you would have to pick the ringtone quickly so you can pay too much money for it. Well, my district manager happened to walk in while I was browsing, and I stuck my phone in my pocket and sat there for an hour and it burnt up all my data I couldn’t make any phone calls or anything

Using a Nokia notification sound... On it's competitor Sony Ericson's phone?
You like to live your life dangerously, sir. I respect that.
I miss my poly version of Futurama's ringtone😔
I bought a Nokia 3310 at a market YEARS ago when 2G still worked and some mad lad had programmed Britney's "Toxic" in freaking mono on it.
Mobiles were wacky in the 00's.
Crazy Frog is also called "The Annoying Thing".
Because I’m a filthy American and we don’t have doner kebab here I genuinely thought the meat was a skewered turd
man. i think they played the gummy bear song and video in the auditorium for all of us as elementary schoolers one time. or that was a fever dream. i’m pretty sure it happened though
Gummibär and Crazy Frog have been so huge back then, with Gummibär getting a feature film and Crazy Frog a PS2 game
"I don't like phones" is David Williams and Matt Lucas from the show Little Britain. A comedy show that is uh... very 2002 in its humour and sensibilities.
Calling Ana Blue the first Vtuber is a disservice to Gorillaz (but damn if I wasn't obsessed with Ana Blue as a kid)
I remember being obsessed with Schnuffel as a kid, I even had a cd of his songs that i regularly listened to
The Snufflebunny song had a chokehold on me in high school. I had the whole song downloaded on my ipod, and I thought it was so cute
unironically a banger
A few months ago when my nephew lived with me, I overheard him listening to the Gummibear song and I almost turned into dust
Oh no. They did 'schnuffel' dirty with the english version xD They didn't even give him a proper english name. Poor rabbit 😂
I think the bunny character is so adorable! I just wanna snuggle up with him.
Ahhh the early to mid 2000's, where you would bluetooth mp3's to use as your ringtone at school, as opposed to now where i get annoyed if my phone makes a noise
Also 9:57 is an impression from a British Sitcom called Little Britian, it was one of the biggest programmes of its time, i remember loving it as a teen. Not really relevant to the video but I wanted to drop some Britisha TV lore
Ahhh, those were the days... many a slightly-tipsy evening was spent with uni friends, "meticulously replicating" (aka. vaguely approximating) a piece of music for each person's Nokia 5110 ringtone using the onboard composer. The later your ringtone was attempted the dodgier it would sound, and the weird mismatched notes would send us into hysterics. Then when we got polyphonic phones you could download ringtone files off the net, and I found an Indiana Jones polyphonic ringtone with a single note that sounds _SO_ wrong it still sends me into uncontrollable laughter to this day. 🤣
Fascinating peek into another culture. Ill have nightmares for days, the kebab lady will haunt me forever.
I remember as a kid being bombarded with these ads on TV in the mid 2000s (mainly the rabbit, moley, and gummy bear) and I got to the point where they wouldn't stop playing these ads every ad break i got mad and shut off the TV 😂
I loved some of those songs from their library when I was a pre-teen. Snuggle Bunny was one of my favorites.
Omg I loved Schnuffel when I was a little child, I had a plushy of him too that my Father won at a claw machine.
I still can clearly remember waking up once at 4 am as a 7 year old to watch some TV and all of these ads where going ON LOOP the entire time and the Schnuffel ones where always my favorite lol
Damn. I forgot all about these commercials.. I was already old and at the point I wasn't watching television but I do remember these ringtone commercials. Like they would legit have a commercial that would end with "text 'gimme' to 55-55 if you want this ringtone!" Then they'd have ones for games(apps on your phone before smartphones and apps) and then they just started letting you flat out buy things that way. You'd text the automated number and agree to text message agreements and they would charge your cell phone bill.
Omg that brings back even more memories of websites doing the same thing!! T-mobile had a thing where you could use your phone number like a credit card! Wow!... So many obscure and pointless memories I had forgotten about.
THE RABBIT... bro i used to watch these ad nauseam in like 2008 when i was a kid and to this fucking day the lyrics of the one with the carrot are in my head. i haven't heard it in over a decade and if this video rekindles it in my brain i might go insane 💖
I didnt know about Jamster existing, but I was obsessed with Schnuffel bunny as a kid
I was in my early 20s during the time these ads ran in the mid 2000s and didn’t have cable tv so I missed this entire thing.
I’ve heard of crazy frog and was like “so it’s just noise over a sped up version of Beverly Hills cop?” I had no idea it had an animation let alone an extended cinematic universe.
snuffle just unlocked something in my brain that i had forgotten was there omg
I remember a boy in my year in high school once tried to get the Gummy Bear ringtone but for whatever reason, he ended up getting the song in a foreign language even though we were in an English speaking country.
This the shit i be on rn
MWAHAHAAHAHAHA 😈 Get MOLEY on your PHONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I keep thinking the 2000s were better than the modern day, then I remember shit like this.
Bro I was so obsessed with gummy bear as a toddler, its nostalgic looking back at it
Jamster songs were sort of my childhood back when i didn't care too much into music, just hearing few i knew long ago was bit nostalgic for me and seeing and hearing these other songs even i too just want to go down the jamster rabbit hole and explore what i miss out on.
The gummibar recognition makes me feel super nostalgic
Jamster/Jamba as a company is the mobile service provider of farting so hard you break the toilet in hindsight.
My sister loved Shnuffel Bunny and Tiger Boo was mine. we never got the ring tones but we were so happy everytime the commercial came on
I'm a bit younger so I found out about the gummy bear through early 2010s RUclips brain rot and the fact that 1. it was originally a ringtone and 2. it's still a channel that REGULARLY POSTS AND GETS 100,000+ VIEWS is insane
5:58 I never heard of this song, but I love your rendition of it and how shockingly well it sounds.
I don’t know about you, but I come exclusively for Andrew’s soft and supple edits. Read into that as much as you want.
Waiting for the next instalment in the Jamster Cinematic Universe.
My parents were sure to tell us exactly how much trouble we'd get in if we tried to get these ringtones and run the bill sky high
