My friends down the street had a set of Jarts. We were playing with them in the front yard when their father came home from work. He stepped out of his car and said , “Let me show you how to throw that thing.” He threw it way high in the air. It came down, piercing his Plymouth Barracuda. Last time we saw those Jarts
LOL! Tricks are for kids! He should have known that. :)

I would like thank you and all the other "grown-up" kids that share their childhoods and toys with the rest of us "kids" that were part of that special time in life. The 60's and 70's will never be repeated in spirit or substance. It was great being a kid during that period.
It was indeed Ernest, it was indeed.
I wish our kids today could have those experiences. They'd grow up far differently than they do. And yes it's dangerous, and yes they could die. But they'd also experience really living. We'll all be dust before too awful long anyway. No reason not to have some fun while we're here for this horribly brief time. : )
It really was!
@@jmcowart301 Nowadays kids are getting sick off of peanut butter and inhaling flavored air.....bunch of damn pussies.
Yep no seat belts in cars , I remember that , seemed normal
The golden of age of toys.... when toys taught boys and girls to become adults.
Amen.
Thanks, boomer.

Why should he?

I'm just happy to know that someone had a great childhood. All I hear about is how bad things were, and how abused children were. This gives me hope that parents can raise their children to be excellent adults. I absolutely love your humor. PS. I had a "Baby Alive" when I was six. I could feed it and then change its diaper.
I was born in 1943 and my brother in 1946. We had a wonderful childhood and great toys.
Back when toys we're the real deal. Danger was just a part of the fun!
Just turned 60.
We had the ZERO M. SPY SET A BAXOOOKA 4 FT LONG KNIFE SET SPY GUNS ETC THAT I WON DOWN THE SHORE
Lol
I was given a chemistry set. The first thing I made was gun powder.

I remember the lawn darts. My son couldn’t believe his grandparents let his Mom & Aunt play with these!
sweethaven5 ... weren’t they called Jarts?
My grand kids didn't believe I'd let my own kids would.
I remember those well
I posted my comment before I scrolled down to see your comment....LOL....👍
@@maisygirl Yes
love it...growing up during the 60's and 70's was so much fun...
I used to buy these jets that you tied to the screw on a light fixture from the ceiling, they would fly in circles just like the ones Jeff has. I accidentally flew in the wrong direction, it loosened the screw and the light fixture smashed all over the floor.😂
In school when you came back from Christmas holiday, you knew that the kid with the most band-aides had gotten the best toys.
Amen and amen.
Lol
LOL Exactly!
Jarts were crazy dangerous.
Not really for me all I got was a hot wheels track nascar cars and monster trucks and I broke my toe after being up for 1 hour😂
We are different today than yesterday which means to me that we live in more fear for our safety. When I was 9, my father began teaching me electronics. One of the essential lessons was how to ground out a high voltage capacitor so you would not kill yourself when working on a television. I later became a navigator in USAF air refueling tankers....another thing dangerous to your health.
Total agreement BG
I became an USAF weather specialist and was always outside during thunderstorms, one duty station it was on a catwalk on the 4th floor of the ATC.
Late 70's,early 80's ish, all the boys toys were much better than girls toys so I got the neighbor kid to show me how his Estes rockets worked. I went out and bought some of the big engines, Ds if memory serves. I cut a hole in the back of my Barbie "Dream Vette" put a piece of PVC tubing in said hole. I then put the rocket engine in the PVC tubing. I now had a Barbie "Dream Rocket".
First time we fired it off it spun in circles. We lined everything up a little better & made a wooden "launch pad" to get it going straight. Second try!! That thing shot down my driveway, hit the gutter, took flight, shot across the street & caught the neighbors shrubs on fire.
This is both funny and horrifying to imagine...
I did the same in the 70's with a remote control car, it went too fast to control and the wheels flew off. Took 3 rockets to get it right.
"D" was the biggest size you could buy by mail back then. I still don't know what happened to the top stage of the custom 3-stage D rocket I launched in 1975 ;-) I built it from a mix of Estes and Centuri model rocket parts.
shananagans5 you had an amazing childhood! Lol
What an awesome memory, lol. It's a shame kids today don't get experiences like this. Everyone is so safety concerned but that was how we learned as children. And we survived, lol.
And we had fun.
this was back when parents actually gave parental guidence along with common sense,and the phone book wasn,t full of attorneys,,great times
We didn't have warning labels on everything either and evolution took care of itself...
I was born in 1966
When drug pushers didn't have tv ads!
My parents showed me how to use them.
Also the fact we weren't idiots.
Even as a small child I knew not to do the stupid crap that today's youngsters are doing for social media likes.
@@lynn69jacksonyup society today is screwed because kids are too stupid nowadays
Can't believe you left out the "klackers". Lol
I've got a set of clackers! Gonna sell them at the flea market tomorrow.
Yes I was wondering about klackers. The glass balls were dangerous
HAS TO be the string version, not the solid rod ones!
EVERYBODY on my short dead end street had clackers circa....1967? And none of us got away un-CLACKED upside the head.
I loved my klackers, my brother and I would play for hours with them.
Jeff is so cute showing these toys. I was a kid in the 60's and it's sooo sad the way the world has turned I wish kids today COULD just be kids
Some of us are
Jeff is so cute he really is he's so excited about these toys boys never grow up really
Yup right around the mid 90’s is when everything went soft and cancel cultural began. But in the 80’s cops and robbers and cowboys and Indians were still played daily.
Excuse me!?
@@roberttruesdell6151 Thanks, boomer.
I love to see this personal part of your life, it’s so cool! I’m a big fan Jeff 👍 God bless you and your family.
Thanks for the memories Jeff! Have to call my therapist now due to the nightmares I will have tonight...lol
Remember the "clackers"? Two acrylic balls on the ends of a string with a loop in the middle, used for making noise? MANY broken bones and cranial divots caused by those! Wish I still had one...
corrin king That's what I guessed for #1 dangerous. My arms stayed covered in bruises.
Oh Lord me Too!
Yes , I had them , I loved it . I was 5-6yrs old , and collected all different colors 1975ish . Just once or twice , I remember the ball slammed me on my forearm . Ouch !
I am from the same era as you Jeff. How did we survive? Those were the days when kids and parents had common sense. We grew up in a much less litigous time. Now, people are suing for burning their crotch with hot coffee and playing the lawsuit lottery. So sad. Seeing those toys was a great walk down memory lane! Thank you for sharing Jeff!
Unfortunately, these days, common sense isn't all that common.
Fyi the lawsuit was for the coffee being so hot as to cause third degree burns. They took responsibility for opening the coffee in there lap.
My dad almost killed himself as a kid trying to make gunpowder.
Yeah the McDonald's where the lady burned her crotch was in Albuquerque New Mexico
McDonalds wasn't serving iced coffee back then, EVERYONE knew the coffee was hot. That lady (or not) should have let it cool a bit, but scalded herself with her own ignorance, but still got $2m for her own demise, since Mickey D's didn't spill it in her. Horrific example of common sense going out the window.
1970's people: AW the kids are outside playing with their toy guns.
2017 people: Hello 911 I see kids running around with guns in my neighbors yard shooting at each other.
Like hey billy look behind you sucker pew pew pew
TIMES have changed.
Ppl have changed.
Delliberately
What the hell are you trying to say?
DarkWolf76 I
I'm a 2000's kid, and there is NO way our parents would let us have any of those toys. Jeff grew up right.
Growing up in the 50s and 60s was great. I feel sorry for the kids today. Born in 65 and am grateful for it. Growing up today seems like a drag. Being a older man today is a drag people are miserable for good reason and political correctness and wokeism are destroying the west.
great video...thanks for taking us down memory lane. if only the kids today could go back into time to appreciate how special the 60s and 70s were in regards to toys and music as well as so many othere things.
I agree!
Participation trophy for kids of the 70's - scars
Yup thats for sure xD i remember i had a little mini tool set kinda like the one Jeff had! It was fun but me and my sibling often got hurt. We had to take it back after a few weeks tho
we all are,we grew to develope egos, that are parents and life experiences helped us to adopt , and life styles syles that seem to bring to..... Right it's these avertisements. That won't allow me to skip ad til I finish writing, I HATE fb Google for doing that.
Ayup and I got em! 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻. And as my Dad used to say. WE HAD NO HEALTH INS BACK THEN!!! 😳
Sorry Daddy....and then my Grandmother told me the stupid shit he did as a kid and he never said that again. LOL
Early 60's and 70's if it's ok? What a great time to be a kid!!
I had most of those: the wood burning set, verti bird, cox gas airplanes, sonic blaster, the M16, BB guns , jarts and I've made it all the way to 63 so far. The 60's !!What a time to be a kid!!
Me too. I burnt the heck out of myself with a wood burning tool. I'm kind of disappointed that #1 wasn't a chemistry set. My mom saved up Green Stamps to get me one of those when I was 8. It had an alcohol burner and everything. Sadly- or maybe luckily - she took it away before I got hurt. Not because she suddenly realized how dangerous it was but because she said it stunk up the house.
Man by the 80s we had many more dangerous toys and we lived to tell the tail! BTW im almost 37 and i think im ok....*twitch*
@@lorib1696 my brother got one of those kits for christmas when we were little, it was one of the last kits with "radioactive" rocks in it and lead chips.....
Wasn't it though Ken? We lived by God! Even as kids we lived!
Oh yes the Cox gas air planes! Had my fingers thumped very hard many times from the props on those birds. I also had one of the cars that would follow a string around and around or a straight line that was the most fun.
Thanks Jeff :) I had the wood burner, an Erector set and train that had high voltage ac/dc transformers, the BB gun and many other toy guns that would scare the crap out of the average passerby these days. But, we also had the Jarts! We played with them every summer with adult supervision... TBH, my dad was pretty hard to beat! Never had a single accident because we followed one simple safety rule, everyone stands on the same side! But, then we had real iron horseshoes as well... clank! Ringer! My bike was the candy apple red Schwinn Stingray with the ape hanger bars and the banana seat. We all thought we were Evel Knievel :) We set up ramps with cinder blocks and plywood to see who could jump the farthest. My earliest vehicle was the Mattel Big Wheel. I think I got a new one like every 6 months or so because we insisted on doing things like racing down the hill out front and doing 360 burn outs and riding down flights of concrete steps. You didn't mention click clacks either. Mine were plastic but the originals were made of glass! "You'll put your eye out!" Yeah, we heard that too. But, with all the Lincoln Logs, Lego blocks and other stuff, my favorite toys were always my ever growing platoon of GI Joe action figures
I had the same bike in gold. Had the click clacks too, didn't like them, too dangerous even for me.
Yeah, tennis ball cannons were great.
"I turned out fine!"
Jeff. You play with dolls for a living.

At least it pays off well..judjing by his house and yard.
natka8181 Ya, lol
Very successfully...
Who doesn’t play with dolls?
Lol
The rocket set brings back memories. I was active duty Navy, stationed in Virginia. This was in the late 1980’s. I had gotten these rockets for my sons. We built them, but we couldn’t launch from the yard, too many trees. We went onto the Navy Base and thought the huge field in front of the Admiral’s Office was a good place to set these things off.
1. The base is close to the runways for either the local airport or the naval air base, I’m not sure which. Either way, too close to aircraft.
2. Rockets, not from the Department of Defense, being launched near some admirals command and control office, nit a good idea
After we launched, retrieved and launched again, we had visitors, from base security, NCIS, VA state police and supposedly, the FAA who was, arson supposedly p, reaching out to the FBI.
My youngest son, aged 5 at the time, actually thought he was going to federal prison for life.
After a few people looked at these kits, one guy, the one in a suit, confiscated my sons toys, and told us to never ever launch these devices near a military installation.
A week later, we were told never to launch these rockets at Mt. Trashmore, the old landfill in Virginia Beach. Yes, we got new kits and set them off again. I can now understand why they didn’t want us launching at Mount Trashmore. They had the vent tubes sticking out of the ground, to vent off the methane.
Live and learn. Nobody affiliated with our launches ever died, and no animals were harmed.
LOL Too funny Dick!
As a kid, we did races by taping/gluing the engines to toy cars & skates. Learned the multi-stage engines would "break"/stop and melt plastic but the ejection part of the engine would really damage the cars
Launched many of them..lost a few. Took a hammer and turned the motors into dust, drilled co2 cartridges, tapped the hole put half powder in and drilled a tiny hole for fire cracker fuse. Holy crap the explosion was ridiculous. How we didn’t become un alived..wow
I love this video Jeff, I grew up in the late 50's and 60's and remember having a lot of those FUN harmless toys. My chemistry set back then would have placed me on a terror watch list today XD
⁰⁹9oo9⁹t
The one that came with real plutonium?
@@jeffreymontgomery7516 Not quite, but close ;-)
I remember my Sisters Chemistry Set, it made some dangerous stuff! At least Kids did/made stuff rather than video games and playing games on their phones.
Love the car it s gorgeous!
Those are really nice toys. Never had anything as nice as those, they were way to expensive. We really should bring back toys that teach practical skills. Exposing young minds to mechanical, electrical, chemistry, etc... would help their young brains grasp concepts at a much younger age. Not only would it teach them things it would be a fun way of doing so.
Lego.
I'm a 70's child. Pain and anguish was a part of play. Good times. Oh, man. You brought back some good memories! Jeff, I had no idea that you were my age. What's your secret ?
We used to shoot Roman candles and bottle rockets at each other, lol!!
Oh Yes! Those were the day weren't they Beth? Ah, the young years.
44 years i still do. ().
heres what people don't know about bottle rockets, there is about a 1 second delay afer it shoots up before it explodes, i use to hold it from flying and throw it so it would explode right on them
We used to have bottle rocket wars when I was younger. It was so much fun. We almost set several houses and woods on fire. We even set a tree right beside the house on fire and even had people diving under cars. This was about 15 years ago. A few years ago a cousin of mine's friend made a homemade firecracker and put way too much powder in it by accident and we were trying to set up for the new years big boom (is what we call it) and our flashlights were dead so he was using a lighter to see and accidentally set it off and one person had to go to the er because of it. This past new years they set the woods behind the house on fire and set the field on fire multiple times. All I have to say is we love new years and 4th of july
We still do that....
How are you still alive!!!!! Oh yeah, our parents knew that if we hurt ourselves we would learn not to do that!
My mom would smack me for being stupid enough to hurt myself.
Exactly. And if there was a group of us, and someone maybe got hurt, all of us would pick them up, start helping them walk it off, saying “you’re ok. You’re ok, right? walk it off. It’s ok.” Because if any one person sustained even a minor injury, we’d all get a smack.
yup, i grew up playing on the roads and around the neighborhood without adult supervision, went to the corner store by myself to buy things for my mom and played with a bb gun....and im still alive!! *twitch* ehem i also did other things that CPS yells at parents these days for letting their child do these days....
@@kutzbill same here, first she would make sure i was alright then holler at me and i would get the flipflop, wooden spoon, or snacked the frick upside the head for being stupid. i tell you what, i didnt do that stupid thing again!
Yes!!! Yes!!!!! Yes!!!!!
Seeing those Peaches crates behind you brings back a lot of good memories from my teen years!
Jeff Dunham.
I remember the old toys you were showing us on you tube.
Isn't it funny how tough we were as kids? And now that were grown
Up looking back made me smile.
Now, you can get stuff from Chinese toy factories which have no Q/A and use chemicals that were banned in the West!
wood burning pens and soldering pens: if it smells like chicken, your holding it wrong.....

How many kids touched the end just to know what it felt like?
@@stpaulimdog the ones who want tattoos at young age
Best line of the whole thing, "It only takes a second to die."
well, actually three if your decapitated! really lets you thing, huh :D
@@jonfischer111 ya ^^
Er, yes of course. Not sure I see the point? We all die. Just a matter of when.
Ahh! The chemistry sets! I remember my friend and I making a flame thrower with one!
We had the bug station where you made bugs in that heated oven thing. We had an electronic set where you could make radio and other stuff. Dad had to have the gas-powered jeep (GI Joe fit in the seat; thats when he was barbie sized) and we had race car sets. lmao I remember lawn darts! I remember in the 70's owning clackers and them being banned from school because they were dangerous.
give the kids of today a set of clackers and it just might stop them been able to pick up a knife or gun
I have my grandads clackers. They are basically balls on shoe laces.
Creepy Crawlers, by Mattel.
Your bug station. Was it Creepy Crawlers? 🤓 We used make those and scare unsuspecting friends. 😂
@@audreymai2773 remember the crayon melter...oh the early 2000s was funnnnnn
I had the wood burning tool around 6yrs old, I remember I loved the smell of the burnt wood.
Mom : 🤨 something burning??
Dad : 🤔🤷♂️📰
LMAO......37:55 Opens the Jarts in front of an actual CANNON.....ok Jeff, insert Jart into the Cannon and fire.....we're waiting.
Thank you Mr Jeff for making us all laugh when we needed it the most you are loved all over ♥️
Both my 'M16 Maurader' and Zero-M Sonic air blaster broke not long into ownership. Hot Wheels had to be one of the greatest.
toys like that taught kids the importance of survival of the fittest
LforLandon And put Darwins theory into living action...my next door neigbbor picked up and lit what he thought was a snoke bomb from King Norman Toys, but it turned out to be a cherry bomb and he blew 3 fingers off his right hand. Worst thing I can recall happening to a kid in the neighborhood....
Jeff foxworthy talking about lawn darts lol
Lol the acually working correct one is survival of the nurtured
LforLandon we didn’t have snowflakes make it to their 18th bday
Thanks, boomer.
At least it's educating, unlike fidget spinner or shit like that
it'sDECOY lol agreed i don't understand half the shit that they make now days i liked it back in the old day when shit was relatively simple
The spinner was actually quite good.
It’s the people who popularized it and got it banned so the people who actually needed it couldn’t use it that were the problem.
Cathy Larson They banned it in schools because people who didn’t have ADHD, ADD, etc. used it for the exact opposite reason it was made for:
To distract them from school.
Well...I sort of love playing with those too. Just chalk it up to my 2nd childhood and senility setting in early. :)
@@tempolynnrealofficial They banned it? Why in God's name did they do that? It's a harmless toy, not a gun or even a toy gun. Our world is in serious trouble folks.
LoL the worker jumped 😂😂😂😂
Jeff said ok I’ll play with myself.......probably not the first time his wife has heard that!
Just started watching, but "lawn darts" I think take the most dangerous toy.
Do more peanut videos
Indar
We had a set but they were called “lawn darts”. We would throw them to each other and try to catch them. Still alive.
omg lol i loooovvvveee the ''still alive''
I still have the scar from one my brother stuck in my forehead 45 + years ago.
I remember them being called jarts
July 2009 went to Grandpas house for a reunion, and he had the lawn darts still in original(opened) box. Yes we brought them out and played hehe
@Toob247 Toob247 Yep, hence why it's not a good idea to toss metal darts around.
I love how Jeff Dunham acts like a child while checking these toys out
He practically IS a child
Just a grown child.... I didn't have that much fun when I was a kid...
I'm only 14 and I never had that much fun
XxTheOddEggxX 15 and same
Yea no
I grew up playing with my dad's set of jarts 40 years after he played with them, it's that same set. I didn't realize they were illegal in so many places, lol.
The smell of thing-maker goop cooking off - god, how I loved that odor...
Awesome, made me realise how much I learned as a kid by hurting myself !
*Can You Say Indian Style*
Me- I can say whatever I want.
I also love toys from childhood. These toys you are showing us are AWSOME.
I was surprised that you didn't include the chemistry sets
How about the radiation set with real plutonium? It was a little better when I was a kid but man...
thank you for all your comments
@@darthhauler9947 good times good times
Looked back in my attic, and I found my old "Lead Soldier" molds I got as a Christmas present back in the early 60's when I was about 7 years old. Missing the green and yellow lead based paint, and the pot that would get hot enough to melt the lead. What could go wrong right?
Now that is far back beyond me. What a wonderful childhood!
Is it weird how I wanna use those iron molds for chocolate O.O
Me too! Loved making the soldiers and the tanks! And the wood burning sets and I would use them to scar the stupid Barbie dolls my mother tried to get me to play with. It was JUST HOT LEAD right?
@@70sstreetracergal61 I tore my barbies apart.....and preferred monster trucks and transformers or ninja turtles and bakugan

"...I cooked it, and ate it, and didn't die."
Wifes cooking jk
Yet
Pretty sure that’s what a lot of cavemen said
How did I manage to miss this one. I guess my mind is focussed on those amazing puppets and I let this slip by me. RUclips is so youth-oriented that it is a rare occasion that I actually get to enjoy people playing with the toys from my day. I had an amazing time and I can't wait to go and search for any of the other toy videos that I've missed Jeff. Thank you so much for loving your toys enough to keep them in this amazing condition so you can share them with us. Big hugs.
I love Jeff's RUclips energy!!! His happiness is kinda contagious.
Same
YOU CAN TELL EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF KID JEFF WAS......LMAO.....I WILL NOT COMMENT FURTHER ON THAT CAUSE I LIKE JEFF.
Lawn darts need to make a comeback. Thin out the herd a bit.
I had them in the 80s, no one I knew died.
I ended up getting stitches from inappropriate use of the “middle game”
They could make them like characters from franchises like spougebob or something
I'd love to have a set of lawn darts!
Good idea
I freaking love your show Jeff keep up the good work.
Oofer Mcwilliams ok
I had the whirly bird toy, too, but mine was part of a Styrofoam ship with a heliport on its stern.
I'm halfway through the video and I just KNOW the #1 dangerous toy is Jarts. I still have my old set; even played with them last summer with my family! I should take a picture of the scar on my arm that Ray Stanko gave me when I was 5. He yelled, "Watch out!" and threw it at me. He was probably 9, which explains a lot.
I love the comment about blisters being our trophies! My sisters and I received plenty from our Creepy Crawler cooker!

When listening to this video and not watching it, I sometimes thought I heard Walter talking, sometimes Peanut. Once, when Jeff said "Really?" I thought Achmed was talking.
Jeff, you are so genuinely in LOVE with life, thanks, I Love you ! ! !
Brad Nichols he's a great guy and what a fantastic walk back in memory when people we're true human beings!!
I remember these toys! Dangerous yes but fun! Brings back good memories Jeff and Matt! Thank you!
In 1966 I was 10
64 yr. old here , what? No chemistry set?
OKIE CHOPPER i remember my grandma giving me my moms old chemistry set. I'm surprised I'm alive
i kept my dads old one i have to dig it out of storage
If only I knew now that my chemistry kit was actually a Walter White Jr starter kit
Didn’t they have one that had radium n shit in it? It was something like “nuclear scientist kit” or summin
And the containers were known for breaking and leaking uranium
Autisti-comet I'm pretty sure that one was from the 1950s, but yes, I remember it. Not firsthand, of course, but the neighbor's oldest boy had one stashed in the garage.
My parents got the Lawn Darts set when i was in high school(1964-67)- and we never got hurt playing with it
"Your participation trophy was a blister".
We were tougher back then.
I had an Incredible Edibles.
I had Jarts, too.
Thanks for the memories Jeff !!! I’m turning 70 in a few weeks, and i really love you comedy V shows , but this , The Best !!! 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
You should have grown up in the late 40s and early 50s. I had cap guns, cap rifles, a bb gun, a pellet pistol, and a children's bow and arrow with actual points on the arrows--unusual for most female children. We lived in the country , so there wasn't much traffic. One of my favorite past times was to secrete myself behind shrubbery near the walkway to my house. People didn't have air conditioning in most cars back then, so, in summer, windows of cars were open. I used to take a couple of caps, pound them with a rock and watch the car screech to a halt, as it sounded just like a tire blowout. I became adept at firing the children's bow and arrow arrows at my younger sister without actually hitting her.
We had cap guns etc in the 60s-70s too
N2RI1--Did I say they didn't? No, I did not. What WAS different by the 1960s was that the metal-tipped arrows were replaced by suction cups at the tips.
I had cap guns growing up in the 90's and early 2000's. :)
That reminds me, I made my first bow when I was 8. Nothing fancy, and with the yarn bow string, Not exactly lethal, but I could hit a can with it at 20 feet.
jagfan101--My cap guns/rifles look real. From the 1990s onward, children's toy guns had to have brightly colored plastic attached to the tips so that police could discern the toy from a real gun. I purchased cap guns and such for my children in the 1980s. My oldest grandchild is the proud owner of a bow and arrow as well as a bb gun and a rifle. She's well-versed in safety rules.
I think the most dangerous thing about the Estes rockets was poking your eye out on the launcher. They made safety caps for them later.
So when I was 10 I got one 2014 and strapped it to hotweels yeet
9:33 Jeff, that is called _"Survival of the fittest"_
Kids who are not smart enough to handle the _Flaming Torch_ should not be alowed to procreate.
I always remember a scene from the show "Titus". Stacy Keach as the dad, sitting in the recliner and the mother saying "don't put the fork in the outlet son" followed by Keach saying "shush! Let him learn on his own".
@@aphilipdent I once tried the trick of folding a gum rapper made into a plug. Forgot to use a book though, held it in my hand.
I burned the **** out of myself. But I learned about respecting electricity. Worth it! Had the scare on one of my fingers for years.
Guess I should learn how then 😈
oh, john what's that mark on ur... well that was when I was using the wonder pen. LOL
Oh I remember jarts but we called them lawn darts or throw them has high you can and the last one not to move wins.
Jarts are still around but just a much safer lawn dart made by some other companies with a different name and branding...
We had lawn darts with the metal spike on the end that had a slight point to it. We NEVER tossed it high in the air. We threw it into the plastic circle, like a mini hula hoop, but it didn’t count UNLESS it stuck into the grass! Then as a teenager, they made these rounded plastic cup ends that didn’t fly properly at all! I thot “what wimps these people are!!”
It smells like a house burning down, I love it! 🤣🤣🤣
I remember when I was was in school, we actually built the rockets and launcher by hand in shop and had class competition's on the football field.
Older school than I was. Sounds like a lot of fun though. That sounds like the time the gov. was not trying to talk everyone into cotton batting "for our own good".
That was the days
I had one as a kid and blasted it off once.
Cool
As an 8 year old, my dad always made sure I was with him whenever he was working around the house, so that I would learn all the basic skills. So before I even had shop class in 4th grade, he had me using saws and hammers (real size). Then he also taught me how to sweat joints with solder and a butane torch.... at 8 years old. Toys? never had a problem with all these toys that Jeff had on this video. no injuries. But I did blow stuff up with my beginners chemistry set. We even played with Lawn Darts without killing ourselves.
I used to be a kid like you. Then I took a Jart in the knee.
Whats a jart?
Tried Google?
@@TA-ls5nr ok ik what it means now lol😂😂
That quote is not for everyone
It’s only for the kids of Skyrim
“I TURNED OUT FINE!”
You play with dolls for a living and talk to your self. THATS NORMALLLLL
Hollie Savage Yeah, it is. I talk to myself all the time. Wait, what? I didn’t say anything...
Dumb!!!!!!!!
i have dolls but i don’t speak for them.
It is today, on college campi
I speak with the inanimate all the time. What's the big deal? I'll bet everybody does if they are telling the truth. Now if the dolls start talking back....oh hell, I can't even say that now days. They do! LOL Well, you know what I mean anyway.
Yeah, those were the good ol' days. I had all those toys except the guns. I couldn't have a toy gun. I did have a 20lb draw bow at age 9. Yup, real arrows. I also had the Clackers that Julie C mentioned. I got pretty good with them and never had them shatter. My sister had the Easy Bake oven and I had a chemistry set. Many of the chemicals in that set we can't even store in our high school lab today! Let's see... mix some Potassium Nitrate, sulfur and carbon. What could go wrong?
That was what made America great. The Darwin awards were in full effect. If you made it to adulthood you were ready for anything!
I think they called those "Eskimo yoyos" in Seattle. I eventually got good, but bruised the goodness out of my hand first
I had the clackers, too. How about the racketball sized original superballs? They were super dangerous. We played baseball in the street with one. One hit and it was GONE. I bounced one off the street and it went completely out of sight and we never found it. It was pulled off the market, too.
Ahh, the good old days...Thanks for the memories 🎶
It's a wonder I lived this long because I had almost all of them toys. Copped my finger up so good one time with a cox airplane motor I had to get 10 stiches. The first thing that came to mind at the top of the list for me was the lawn darts and I was right .
cbgreenbay great child hood moments lol
Testers also made them
cbgreenbay Yeh I had them they where odd toy lol
Bill Scott -No kidding ! That's if you live. I remember playing with these things with friends and then getting board and trying to see how high we could throw them. I think it wasn't long after this the "parental supervision " labels started showing up on things .
Twirly woo
Our Jarts were called Lawn Darts. Nobody in our town was dumb enough to get hurt, and we did some stooooooopid stuff!
I had both a chemistry set and a geology set-with real chemicals like nitric acid and gliserine(?) lol two of the ingredients for nitro explosive lol-which i did make and got in big time trouble for lmao
@David LaRiccia i made Thermo with my kid, when he was 11
Damn videos like this cause fear and helmets
Dan Akyrod and his incredible bag of broken glass. LOL
How did any of us live to see the 80’s?!! Lol
Still here and laughing most of way. :)

The thing about these old toys....kids learned how to be responsible. They learned how to be tough, if they got hurt they learned not to do that again. These days kids are wrapped in bubble wrap and are wimps. Helicopter parents don't allow for kids to learn anything.
FarfalleAlfredo my son is not a wimp tho he is 15 and has the heart of a bear is tough for sure he blew out both his knees in football and still played sports
FarfalleAlfredo yes they learned how to not throw a jart in the air
Nope, today's kids learn to be afraid of Everything and to think that "safety" equipment can actually replace common sense.
Common sense is a thing of the past.
lawn darts
the tin can gamer Except he's right, so u need to calm down bud.
My friends and I duct taped the estes rocket engines to hot wheels cars and made ramps out of the hot wheels track. Seconds of fun until the car that you just turned into a projectile flew off and broke something.
Did you add firecrackers? So much better with them! Although that sounds really cool!
Cool! :D me and my brothers often did that but with wooden cars. It got out of hand tho... we often did it inside >< once we were smart to do it outside we added firecrackers around the WHOLE THING... got out of hand still.. think we over powerd it xD
@@beepbeep360 Ok, I'll admit we also got out of hand. But I'm jealous, we didn't have Estes just crackers and gas. But we had fun anyway! Good to know their are others out there Sophia!
I used Tonka trucks and several of the big rocket motors. Those would really damage stuff when they hit the car, house, shed, pretty much anything.
I remember those toys from growing up in the 1960's toys and 1970's toys. I graduated in 1980. Working for 35+ years as a radiation safety professional, I was surprised to see toys with real radioactive materials. We had a thing maker. 451 degrees F will burn paper. We rode bicycles without hands on the handlebars. We ran with scissors, we played with electric toys that plugged into the wall socket. I had a workbench just like that! So cool! We also had Mattel Vertibirds! We never did Estes rockets but we had several >10 Cox gas airplanes. You would fly them on a control strings, and spin around until it ran out of Nitromethane fuel. Then you would be so dizzy you might puke! LOL I recognized Curt Russell! We also had that little hot plate to make Creepy Crawlers. Thanks Jeff for the memories!
How about the carbide canon? It was a cast iron canon that used carbide granules. When ignited it sounded like a 12 gauge shotgun going off. I had one and loved it.
We used calcium carbide pellets in a quart paint can. BOOM! A small nail hole at the bottom of the can was the ignition point for a match. At night, quite a ""flash" as well. Neighbours never complained. Amazing.
@@davidoickle1778 LOL, you live as dangerous as I do. At work, I put acetylene gas in an upside-down can on the bench and lit it off. Split the can a few times.
My friends and I would mount Estes engines (D size) on our bicycle wheels and jump over ramps. We taped fuses to the engines, timing was everything so it would ignite when you hit the ramp......LOL. We kept the burnt engines and made our own from a modified formula of gunpowder found in a BOOK in our school's LIBRARY. Those were the innocent days....
Jeff, I'm 53 and I still have my Hugo Man of a Thousand faces. Do you remember that ? I still have the same woodburning kit. I still have real original Clackers, made of glass and recalled them because the glass ball's would eventually explode and cut you up. I was a different kid, I kept stuff I really liked to this very day. My grandsons play with my real steel Tonka Trucks and Buddy L.😅 P.S. and despite all that dangerous stuff we survived. The snowflakes have no clue how fun a childhood was in the the 70's.
What wonderful memories mate! I'd love to have some clackers. They have other uses as well, and I've this one neighbor. But I'm to be nice I'm told.
@@jmcowart301 I've got the ones that came after the glass ones.....some type of acrylic ....theyre pink.
Yeah, I still have some original Clackers, they should have come with safety goggles. We made it through childhood and never even had to have a quiet room to relax in when we got wound up. Like Jeff said, these toys taught you valuable life lessons, like don't touch hot things with your bare hands and heavy pointy objects falling out of the sky can hurt or kill you. Snowflakes make me sick
@@manstersr In a word ? AMEN 👍
@@jmcowart301 Spot on and Cheers from, across the pond in Utah
✌️👣👣👣🍻
Jeff, I can’t even count the number of blisters I got off my wood burning set!
Just the slightest slip and YEEEEEEOUCH! Man that sucker hurt!!
Well it's time to watch nascar and drink beer
Bubba J rocks
It's just a joke I thought I should write in the comment section
That's perty good!
Lawn darts....they were called Jarts with the metal tips....they were awesome!!
Jarts was 1st company they sold to Whammo who renamed to lawn darts and added Green, Yellow for 4 player the swapped mettal tips with round plastic weighted blunt ones that just landed on ground so no impalement or need for grass/dirt yard but pavement/indoor use also. b4 being discontinued due to Consumer Safety org which began in late 60s followed by parents org in 70s recalling unsafe products retroactive
N2RI1, we used them all the time and we survived...lol
I loved Jarts. We would have a Jarts tournament every Labor day at my uncle's house. I actually hit my sister in the head with one once. She survived, thankfully. Lol
N2RI1 WOW! Glad not only one that not only remember lawn darts but the rounded ones with the cement at the top. Yea...instead of impailing your opponent, just knock them out🤣😂
When the dog would run down by the target we'd throw the darts anyway and just try to miss the dog.We'stand down by the target ourselves sometimes and dodge the jarts being thrown. We were fearless. No serious injuries.
Oh Jeff... You forgot "Click-Clacks"!! Hard plastic balls on about 8 inches of string with a handle in the middle. You got those things hitting too hard and they would shatter, throwing shrapnel all over the place and your body, not to mention that until you got good, they would break wrists, hands, and arms when they impacted your body! I'll see if I can find an old video of them and post the link in here later.
I actually have one of those.
Mark Staite “hard plastic balls”
The big reason click-Clacks were pulled, though, is because high school age teens were weaponizing them. They were the must-have accessory for rumbling (yeah, I fully know nobody says "rumble" anymore).
The set I had were actually some kind of glass.... I still have bruises on my forearms from them!!
Handle in the middle? The first ones that came out here (in The Netherlands) only had a loop in the cord. Then they where pulled because of the many broken bones in hands and wrists. Later they came back with a handle and stiff (i think plastic) sticks instead of rope so they could never come in contact with your hands and/or wrists. That sure took the fun out of them...
WE HAD THAT DART GAME TOO. REMEMBER THE SLIP AND SLIDE? LOL
Jeff, There is a toy made by A.C. Gilbert Company called "The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab". It contained real nuclear material. An older friend of mine had one and when I was around eight he gave me that kit and from the same company " The Gilbert chemistry set" (Large one with 56 chemicals). No wonder I am not glowing or dead after playing with these fun toys.
Don Saunders on the real.
I was expecting the number one, most dangerous toy to be a chemistry set all along. The bike was something of a let down, while i do see his point. A lot of people get killed on the bicycle every year. Kids, and adults alike.
You can buy a tin of uranium for $40 on amazon
Donald F Saunders, Jr wow just wow
had a chemical set and a steam powered engine that was stationary,
Lmaooooo Jeff man did this bring back memories. You didnt get the chemistry set. Lol it even showed you how to make gun powder. Great video
Now That we would have loved as kids! ...most likely a good thing we didn't get it.
@@jmcowart301 there were also kits that came with real radioactive materials, lol
the nubmer one got to be lawndarts :)
Stokkeland Smia .. haha yeah I had those in the mid 80's. Jarts. A small wonder there weren't more mutilations with those things.
They weren't dangerous they just helped weed out the dumb kids.
Deadpool Lee Problem was, they weeded out the dumb adults, too.
Yep
I'm laughing as I'm remembering SNL Dan Akroyd and his BAG O'GLASS!!!
