I recently found one of those 2006 Mario balls in my childhood home’s backyard while cleaning underneath the back porch. The thing somehow survived after all this time and it’s been cleaned, but is incredibly faded. The weirdest part is I have zero memory of owning this ball, nor of any family members owning it.
I mean, the thing was a Mcdonalds toy so Im guessing you or one of your siblings were younger and got one of these, played with it a couple of times, then it managed to get in your porch, and just forgot about it’s existence and have no memories of owning one. I know I definitely don’t remember half the toys I got from Mcdonalds
The gummy box pulling "oddly specific" characters uses box art from Super Mario Bros 2 (the weird one with shy guys and turnip throwing). All of those characters were featured in that game. So I'm thinking it was a promotional thing released alongside SMB2. Edit now that I've watched through: Favorite game: Mario Party DS is a super fun and often overlooked game whose singleplayer campaign has gotten me through two separate longer-term power outages. Favorite product: I had an LED light of one of Racoon Mario's sprites. Loved it since SMB3 on the GBA was my first game. Unfortunately during college moving I forgot I'd left batteries in it so it's a bit corroded now. :/
The voice activated Mario Telephone is by far the most interesting and dynamic piece of technology. Once again Charles Martinet knocks it out of the park. Also Super Mario Galaxy is my favorite Mario game, as well as my first video game ever.
Such a shame that the Yoshi egg mug has extra death seasoning on it, I would genuinely use one otherwise . Also, the Mario Kart Hot Wheels have no business being so cute
10:05 theres also an ACTUAL mario monopoly called "Monopoly Gamer" and i have that thing. i play it sometimes with my family and also that monopoly gamer costs 4k rn in my area
This is usually said in a way as to say something is mid like the morbius origins it has but the meaning already got lost in translation 💀 This is video is not mid, it is a masterpiece
I had so many Mario toys, games, and items back when I was a kid. It's good to see that some of them were featured in the video. If one of those items appeared on screen I said to myself "Hey, I had that!". Well done with the video man. I hope you talk about transparent technology next!
1:07 I remember finding this at Stop And Shop and buying it. It's a shame that they stopped producing this, the cereal slapped and the marshmallows gave the milk a berry flavor. Still to this day my favorite cereal.
Honestly, this videos are some of the on youtube that just brighten up my day when watching them, just the pure love for what is going on really warms my heart. Keep up the good work!
As someone who grew up with a ton of this stuff, I can honestly say the Mario Mac and Cheese slapped. I think they had a Ninja Turtles one too. The fruit snacks were good too. The characters are all from Mario Bros 2.
This happens to me as well when I created my characters for a video games. I made overworld sprites for them, and then when I made portraits I had no idea how to make their faces look based on the sprites.
I've been waiting for this all week thank you! I was so excited when Izzyxzzz shouted you out in their cursed MLP products video we've all been waiting for this lmfao
So glad I found this channel, I’m addicted. It sounds like you’re smiling when you talk and you’re so energetic, I always cheer up when I stick one of your vids on. I also started saying scrunkly (sp?) about cute things. Also, with your blindbags, you might just be right with your scam idea cause sometimes you can tell the content of a blind bag (by feel or by the barcode) so the seller might have picked out the whole set and sold off the doubles. Guessing boo was a common.
I only know this cause I used to work retail and it happened in store. We had loads of different blindbags from every show you could imagine, plus generic animals and shapes. You’d end up with a load of commons cause someone’d picked out all the rares.
12:20 Fun Fact: these used to play sounds if you pressed either of their noses or emblems. It was most likely 1-1 that it played, but I somewhat remember a voiceline? It gets worse when you break the voicebox and it just spazzes out when you try to press it
I got some news. I have those and I coincidentally broke them because they sounded weird. Also you had to click the m in Mario. Also also my mom thought when I broke it was a rat.
On "Wake up: it's time to leave dream land!": The sound of Mario's voice was not defined as the high pitched squeaky thing we know today until Mario 64 in 1996. If you look at the Mario cartoons that were made at the time that alarm clock was released, that voice was the voice of Mario at the time. He was an Italian-American plumber from Brooklyn. Also, "dream land" is probably a reference to Kirby's Dream Land.
I was expecting off-brand imitation cursed items but these are all OFFICIAL MERCH??? hilarious and also so upsetting. perhaps this was before such thing as quality control. Thank you for making these videos!! I love how excited you sound when presenting everything it fills me with joy
2:36 They are all from Super Mario Bros 2 and at that time probably didn't know that shy guy would become a staple character while the others pretty much disappeared.
Reminds me of all the Mario themed pinatas, party supplies, brinca brincas, and ceramic piggy banks made by the local vendors every time I visited Mexico. The ceramic Mario always looked a little off but it adds a certain level of charm and nostalgia for me. 😊
your videos are just joyful and i started to rewatch them when i feel horrible 😊 also i never remember what these weird products were so it's like watching for the first time 😅
Every time he makes one of these videos I just like to imagine some Mario fanatic who somehow owns all of these products and how they might decorate their house with all of them.
imagine mario, before he got thrusted into the mushroom kingdom, walking into a customer's house to fix their sink or something, and then he sees that the customer's house is filled with cursed mario merch
the old mcdonald's mario ball brought back so much nostalgia because it was passed down from family dog to family dog like an heirloom for them to play with.
That's... oddly specific. ^^; Reminds me of the weird indie game Froggy Pot that goes from cute to bittersweet as a cute frog girl disturbingly relaxes to death while being cooked alive in a pot and you have to got to like, help her out of her existential suicidal depression or something. :p
Aww! I have a vivid memory of getting the Mario ice cream back in the 80s. I also still have that Luigi McDonald’s toy. I love how smug he looks. “Yeah ladies, I’m on a cloud.”
The Mario koala is very cursed, and I love taking pictures with it to send to my online friends since I'm close by to it. Also, the way you pronounced Coolangatta, I died on the inside it was so bad I got caught off guard.
3:46 - Wait, in a normal case, the disk would look super tiny because the Gamecube used Mini-DVD. That means... OMG, Small Gamecube boxes, that's so cool!
About the koalas, that's actually really neat! Here in Minnesota we have a similar thing but with seals that are less character themed and more painted.
