@@kevinmunn666 you went from cabbage patch kids to hamas war very quickly. Unsettling quickly. If you want to talk war I woukd be more than happy to discuss.
@@davidurban7346 I've learned a lot of history in my college courses that discussed about how wars began in the BCE/BC centuries, the wars kept going like native Americans, British, Korean, Germans, and many other countries that I studied for years and it does interest me. But I was going to ask if you want me to see Napoleon that stars Joaquin Phoenix? That talks about the American Revolution.
I just remember the cabbage patch doll that had a mechanical jaw that would eat plastic food, but it got recalled because kid's hair was getting caught in it💀
Lol I was 5 in 1983 but my grandmother was a seamstress with 40 years of experience and was already making bank doing quilts. The cabbage patch kids were easy to make so she just made them herself to order and people would buy them from her to avoid lines and inflated prices. The kids didn't know the difference.
I remember watching a video years ago about a family who adopted a cabbage patch doll and raised it as there son. They even interviewed there real daughter who was pissed that the doll was loved more than she was.
Well I mean gross looking dolls aren't as evil as teenagers can be. Makes sense you would love a doll that's doesn't scream, poop or throw tantrums more than a child that does all three of these things.
My grandmother would always tell me how hard she fought for the cabbage patch doll she got me. I never asked for one or wanted one and she would never let me take it out of her house
@keverz816 what makes you think she did... how do you know that it wasn't day one when granny said... i got you this doll. ... but you gotta come to grannys house to see it!?
@user-mu9dh3nm5f never said anything about anybody actually doing something.... I said why would you attempt to.... asking why somebody would do something, is just that, asking why they would. Not why they did. See the difference?
It's basically the first NFT. I remember uniqueness was a big thing with the Furbys. It was pretty cool having the same thing as your friends, but not the same thing.
Except for furby's being 1000x creepier & I have a vague (probably not accurate) childhood memory of trying to turn one off & even without batteries it wouldn't shut up 😂
Xavier Roberts actually stole the idea of the doll from a woman who handcrafted them and had them adopted out at craft faires. Her name was Martha Nelson Thomas
On the note for Childs play, the reason it was so on the nose about toy marketing in the 80s was because Don Mancini’s father worked in sales advertising. So Don saw first-hand how powerful advertising could be and how much it had an influence on people.
My mentally unstable grandma once called my mom all excited and said "I adopted a baby!" My mom was horrified and drove an hour to see grandma to try to save this baby, turns out it was a cabbage patch kid.
When my great grandma was dying of lung cancer and it went to her brain she bascially became an Alzheimer's patient with memory loss. She once asked if I was adopted and my grandma answered I came from the cabbage patch.

Truth about the cabbage patch kids Xavier Robert's actually stole the idea from the original creator which was a young female folk art student from Kentucky. Xavier met the actual creator and bought a few dolls from her and sold them at a shop he worked at. Had her come down there to sell more of her dolls but then he started to under sell her while she was there, so she left and a few weeks later she sent him a cease and assist letter to Xavier demanding he give her the dolls back and he basically told her to fuck off and he then started making his own dolls with her exact designs. So in hindsight fuck Xavier Roberts
Glad you posted this comment. So few people know that fact. She tried suing him too, but they ended up settling out of court for an undisclosed amount. But the craziest part is that Robert’s directly stole Martha Nelson Thomas’ physical dolls and ideas for selling them (bar for bar) but had the audacity to try to sue the creators of Garbage Pail Kids for copy right infringement. 🥴 If this sounds interesting, you should watch the documentary Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of Cabbage Patch Kids.
You’d be shocked how often a giant mainstream product or brand was stolen from a smaller creator. McDonald’s used to be a small company with 2 owners and somebody came in and basically stole everything they had. Albeit he did pay each of them 1 million dollars but even then he still took everything they worked on and even tried rewriting the history. It’s a crazy story
I had a furby and I painted its eyes and beak with glow-in-the-dark nail polish. When my mom walked by it in the dark one night, it turned on and said "me like you" she smacked it across the room. 😂 story time nightmare for parents everywhere. Toys coming to life...
I was a little to young for the cabbage patch craze, but when I was born I was a small enough premature baby the hospital that they had to dress me in cabbage patch kid clothing, so for that I have to thank them.
Why were you born so premature? Have you talked to your mother about her habits and activities during pregnancy? Be warned...she may lie....she may guilt trip you for even asking. What health problems do you yourself have? Any palsy? Undersized? Sickly?
@@cheesemcmuffin7229 it happens when the mother Indulged in drugs, alcohol and so forth. Lack of pre natal care. If it's not our business then why tell us at all?
We can never forget the Tickle Me Elmo Carnage of 1996. It was nearly the death of my mother fighting for her life at Sears because my little brother needed it in order to survive.
My godfather took me and my little sister to Babyland here in Georgia when we were young thinking we would love it. I was terrified. We got to see the whole birthing ceremony (or whatever they call it). The actors were so serious like it was a real medical procedure. Like it was a real life or death scenario. I remember a woman getting handed the doll and she started crying she was so happy. I started crying. I was terrified.
If it was a godfather I'm thinking the man was doing your father a solid and instilling a healthy understanding of what sex can lead to, though perhaps your age might've been severely misjudged and that does sound a little too intense.
I mean you just saw a cult drag an eldrich abomination out of the aether in a summoning ceremony, and then bind some poor cultist lady into lifelong subservience. Your reaction was merited.
I honestly liked the craziness of Black Friday at midnight, hundreds of people swarming around you, you are looking for specific things like hunting for treasure. It was chaos, and exciting. (but god damn working in retail on Black Friday sucked)
Yea, I miss the chaos of it all. People would line up the night before after Thanksgiving and wait for stores to open. Most Black Fridays I got to spend doing a boring job that didn’t interact with the public much. The one time I did work in a big store during Black Friday was a Toys R’Us when I was just 18 and I said never ever again. My heart goes out to anyone in retail during those dark days. For the most part, though … it was a spectacle. One of those “you just have to experience it to get it” things. The first night I hung out with my then boyfriend (now husband) was after a night of clubbing back in 2004, and we met up with my sister and went to Walmart to watch the Black Friday chaos while still pretty sloshed (had a DD). We had a blast watching all these grown adults fighting over toys, some falling over themselves trying to rush and be the first to grab something as soon as it was brought out. It was like a sport. There for a while, RUclips videos showing Black Friday madness provided entertainment, as well. Someone would always be recording the chaos. Nowadays, though … everything is online (especially with Cyber Monday and members for certain services getting an extra few days in advance to shop the sales) and you can go into a store during a Black Friday sale and it feels like every other normal day.
Don't worry, the chaos is still there. It migrated to starbucks cup release days🙄 we had people waiting outside the store at 6am and they were FERAL over those cups.
Having worked too many retail Black Fridays, and managing to get slammed by the mob so hard I bruised from underarm to hip, the only good things about working it was the time and a half pay and that you were guaranteed your pick of holiday off.
When I was in the first grade I saw a little person in my school and thought cabbage patch kids were real because I didn't know any better and my sister also had one. This is probably where my life long battle with anxiety began.

@@gayass6060apparently the words midget or dwarf are offensive and a couple years ago the political term is little people. Which makes absolutely no sense to me.
I've been in retail for almost 15 years, and I've seen some shit. I got to see the furry and hatchimal fights first hand. A co-worker told me a tale of tickle me elmo was insane and a violent time. This black Friday was very tame to say the least.
I’m a young adult, still a teenager, and I had a cabbage patch kid when I was 6. I loved that thing to death. Now I’m obsessed with sculpting weird faces… so…
19:10 VERY AGREED! I see so many things that are copy paste of things from the past. But people never seem to twig onto the fact its meaningless. Late night INFOMERCIALS are a good example, most of the products get "recycled" from years before.
At least squishmallows can be used as pillows if you want. Anything heavily plastic based can only become either a really dangerous dildo, landfill snacks, or sit on a shelf awaiting appraisal for however long before a market [re]opens for them.
As a former cabbage patch kid fan, lol, what I loved as a kid was the birth certificate it came with, the baby powder smell, some had a special mouth hole for a pacifier and a bottle and all the accessories it had. Strollers, car seats, high chairs etc so to a little girl this was about as real as it got in the 80's
That's really cute and wholesome actually. My mother didn't have me until the 90's but these little glimpses of what a similar timeline to hers could've been is very sweet.
I remember my grandma telling me a story one time about my grandpa going out during the Cabbage Patch Kids craze to get one for my mom (who was only 2 at the time) and went through hell to do so. One of the best and most interesting stories I've ever heard because of the sheer 'what the hell' factor to it. And the fact that it's even real
The cabbage patch birthing field reminds me of that horrific scene out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). Where the main character wakes up to find a clone of him growing in a veiny vegetable pod.
Dude your mom was 2 in 1983? That makes her 7 years older than me… how old are you? Are you allowed to even be on RUclips? 😂 jokes aside, that’s a fun story, I’d like to hear the long version
I haven’t laughed harder in a while. Papa Meat is the best host ever. I have a muscle spasm in my back right now and this video put me in a lot of pain. It was worth it.
The Babyland General Hospital and “birth” of a Cabbage Patch Kid is one of the weirdest things Ive ever witnessed in my life, yet it was also strangely artistic, soulful, and dedicated to the storytelling. I’ve been multiple times, and now its blowing up on Tiktok because of its peculiar nature and how it’s inconspicuously located on a bright green field in a plantation-style building in upstate Georgia. If you ever happen to be around the area, you just have to go. It’s one of those things that you need to witness at least once in real life. And “adopting” one directly from the hospital was (unsurprisingly) NOT cheap, it was like $300 for a singular Cabbage Patch Kid last time I went
My grandmother actually worked in a toy store at the time of these riots. She never saw any full-on fist fights breaking out but she did see a lot of screaming happening. And she was one of those people who had to throw out the cabbage dolls so that way people wouldn't maul each other to death.
Many Cabbage Patch Kids lost their lives in the great Cabbage Patch Riots of '83. Few know the true horrors that occured on that blackest of Fridays, but one does. One lone kid crawled his way through the green and red carnage that befell the patch that day. Years later, still haunted by the nightmares of that fateful day the surviving cabbage patch kid now shares his stories on RUclips under the name Papa Meat.
Calling your kids 'your own spawn' is actually pretty metal af. Spawn of me, descendant of thee. Come along, spawn. Why when he gets in trouble all of a sudden he's my spawn, not our spawn? I've sired my spawn.
The news report is hilarious! I lived by Wilkes-Barre my whole life, and remember my sisters getting cabbage patch dolls. I wonder if my dad was part of the riots. I like to think my dad pushed people out of the way for a creepy doll lol.
The older guy saying Cabbage Patch kids had a certain scent was absolutely right 😂 I grew up in the early 2000's so I got the later gen of Cabbage Patch Kids and somehow, they always smelled of baby powder. I don't know how they got the scent to stick because they wouldn't lose the smell for months on end
I think the smell was produced by whatever they treated the plastic body parts with, because me and my sister removed the weird (matte?) coating on one by scratching it with our nails and those parts lost the smell.
Lol like a soldier with ptsd. I just imagine her taking a long drag of a cigarette, hands shaking while she recalls her time battling other adults in the trenches of the toy store.
When I was little, my grandma took me to the cabbage patch. You get to make your own doll and you get to see them be "born" from a cabbage. My parents were poor but my grandma wanted me to experience whatever fun kid things she could find. Honestly, it was so much fun. I was a little old for baby dolls but I loved the hands on experience. I recommend it even if you're an adult.
@@SnubMonkjust like a field of cabbages in the back area where they’re pushed onto a conveyer belt where the masses rip them apart trying to get their hands on one
I feel like while not as hysteric, the Pokemon craze of the 90's was pretty massive. From the games, to the trading card game and show, it was hitting every corner of the market for kids. Now it's so big it's got vending machines in almost every grocery store and mall in my state.
It became a big fad for a bit but Pokemon never caused this kind of insanity. In fact it was the opposite. The kids like it but the parents hated it; especially Christians.
I don't think there ever was any actual hysteria surrounding Pokemon, probably partially because it's actually real obvious why kids think it kicked ass and thus didn't need the cultish weirdness like those CPK. If you ask a kid why they like Pokemon, they'd say "because this one's a cute turtle that also shoots bubble bullets that explode, and he's fighting this dragon that shoots energy beams and does flying tackles at Mach 5, and we'll all get to be friends and go on adventures". Meanwhile the CPK have no rationale behind them other than "it's an uglier version of normal baby dolls that come with a piece of paper, which lets you experience the joys of raising a special needs kid with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome".
Loved this - I married my 1st wife in 1984 when this was going on. We had to get one for her niece. We got one, but I ended up taking an elbow to the eye lol. We were Christmas heroes Cheers!!
I'm almost 25 and I was obsessed with Cabbage Patch Kids. I think my parents took me (I have pictures somewhere) to the factory once when they did tours in the early 2000's.
I remember when those dolls came out. First time we had seen something like that- people acting batshit and rioting over childrens toys. It really was insane.
I remember these times. I went Christmas shopping with my grandma for my sisters and she got two the store had a security guard walk us to her car and he had her lock it in her trunk and go straight home not to stop. I had no idea what the deal was until I was much older. People went crazy over these things.
@@thebigmystery7841 no, it's yours dude. It doesn't say "adult diaper", just go back and watch the video. You are projecting the things you want to see. Which y'know, to each their own, but personally I am kinkshaming.
I have one. My mom got it directly from the cabbage patch, when I was a baby. Its a real place in Georgia or somewhere. I've been there, multiple times, and it's a very... surreal place. I hope everyone gets the chance to go and experience it's... bizarreness.

My grandma managed to get 4 or 5 of these for my cousins, my brother, and myself- without ever setting foot in a store. You could mail order these. Apparently mail order worked like a lottery system because of the scarcity, so orders weren't guaranteed. Even so, she was able to buy plenty and avoid the madness.
Meanwhile when my dad paid my older cousin to make a PC for me, he installed Unreal Tournament '99 and it's still one of my favourite games to this day
As a child who didn't particularly care about dolls, except for my cabbage patch doll, because it was so real to me with the whole interactive nursery thing they have, plus being born amidst the original toy story trilogy, yes, it fucked me up in a number of ways as cute as it was to do
I live in GA and actually saw the cabbage patch tree at a museum and it was haunting, they had a delivery room for the babies too. I’ve never been the same since.
I had cabbage patch kids from when my mother was little. I had like three of them. Vintage ones. Never tore them up. We still have them hidden in a storage room on the property my brother was given. The other "cool old thing " we had was Mom and Dad both had collected beanie babies when younger. My brother collected early Pokemon cards and after looking through his sleeve book of cards, he had several original art Charizards.
I'm old as dirt compared to your average fan and I remember cabbage patch dolls. They were kind of like status symbols for kids, I know that sounds weird. But I remember a girl bringing her cabbage patch doll to church and I was like "she thinks she's better than me."
I remember the Cabbage Patch Kids epidemic. I was 9 or 10 at the time and I heard some stories of people being trampled, some to death for these dolls. I collected Garbage Pail Kids trading cards instead. It was the sane option.
been on a huge binge of your videos in preparation for the creepcast first episode- and i'm enjoying your content so much. your videos give me good laughs and i really appreciate that. keep it up papa meat!!!
This has easily become one of my favorite channels. I love the things you cover and how you cover them. I was born in 1989 please keep the vibes of the 90's alive & well. Like how u cover how things were when u were growing up. Like garbage pale kids, goosebumps, are you afraid of the dark. Now talking about obscure stuff like beanie baby craze, cabbage patch dolls, the craze of McDonald's Toys collections, the furby craze, etc. There's so much obscure nonsense to be covered.
While I do like the reminiscing, I wouldn't really call any of the things you mentioned 'obscure.' All of those were wildly popular in their time and day.
Talked at work today to a younger generation of how Black Friday at malls and toys r us used to be a rite of passage and a communal event and I genuinely miss that.
I actually went Black Friday shopping for the first time this year cuz I have grown up with horror stories about it my whole life but it was honestly not much worse than any other day at Walmart I didn’t even have to wait in the checkout line
@@BabyGirlTinyyuppp def all those online deals. haha and i think retail stores way prepare for it. at target a few years back we had a line outside the door and kinda just had them go in one by one instead of by the herds
2013/14 was the last valid legitimate black friday. No one camps out in front of stores anymore. No lines around the corner. The corporations don't put out deals that are worthwhile anymore.
I actually had a bit of a fixation on cabbage patch kids when I was like 8 learned a bunch of stuff and I used to live kinda near where the cabbage patch thing (I actually found a soft sculpture cabbage patch kid at a goodwill I got rid of it cause it was creepy 💀 ) but yeah the place is scary as hell they have like “births” every hour and they have a creepy life size adult cabbage patch doll
I remember the Cabbage Patch riots the only time I ever seen soccer moms kill each other in line at Kmart and the ones that made it through the line got brass knuckled in the parking lot but most of them had to have armed security to escort them to their cars with bulletproof vests on.
My mom was just telling me about cabbage patch kids, how everyone wanted them. My aunt crocheted 3 for my brother and sisters because they were all sold out.
Pretty sure Squishmallows are the new Cabbage Patch Kid/Beanie Baby. My God kids are crazy for those things, even adults are. While Christmas shopping I overheard a kid trying to convince her parents to buy her one. I was in the same aisle looking at some plushies to get ideas of what to get my daughter. Anyway she comes over with this Day of the Dead styled Squishmallow and this is the part that got my attention and almost bust out laughing. She in a serious tone says "Mum I need this." Her mum said she didn't and they were there looking for present for her friend's birthday party. Then the kid put on her serious negotiation voice. "No, I am serious. I need this for school." So her mum asks how in the world would school require her to buy a Squishmallow. The girl says "I need this for my homework. I have to do a speech on Day of the Dead and show something from it to my class and this is from Day of the Dead." Her mum said she does not need a Squishmallow for her speech. The kid gets more serious and says "You don't understand. I. NEED. THIS. I. WILL. FAIL. IF. I. DON'T. GET. THIS." Like she full on did the slow spaced out words and condescending tone as if her mum was too stupid to comprehend how badly she "needed" this Squishmallow. Her mum was getting annoyed at this point and said "No. You don't need a Squishmallow for your speech, you just want it for yourself. It isn't even anything to do with Day of the Dead, they have just copied the art style from it. Put it back now. We will find something another time that is actually from Day of the Dead." The kid full on had the shits now and reiterated that she "needed" this specific Squishmallow or she would fail and how unfair her mum was being. I think she was around 10-12 years old. Her mum just said no again and then made her put it back. The thing was $20 too. It was so hard not to laugh at this kid, thankfully it wasn't obvious I was listening as the toys I was looking through was a complete mess and hard to find what I was looking for so I looked busy. LMAO sorry about this essay, this video made me think of it as it only happened on Friday. I just thought it was too funny not to share as you mentioned how kids try anything to get what they want and I immediately thought back to this. Glad the mum didn't give in to the bullshit though.
you're a coward for not going up to the mom and telling her "actually, my daughter's class is doing the same thing - they really do need this for their presentation; make sure your kid takes this seriously."
I can imagine the kids flexing their cabbage patch dolls but I can also imagine the parents flexing that they had to rip the doll out of a defenseless child's hands just to satisfy the demanding demon's they call children. In the end the children where uglier than the dolls themselves.
Imagining having your leg cracked in two by a horde because your snotty little crotch goblin wanted a fugly doll (they'll forget all about the toy within a week)
I was born in the 2000s so I don't recall any craze like the cabbage patch kids, but my main vices were twofold as a kid; Webkinz and Littlest Pet Shops. I still have all of each. I was the "cool kid" among my like... two or three friends [horrendously shy] because I had a massive toy collection. My parents spent money on only two things, quality food and their kids [my brother and I]. They saved money on everything else. I was lowkey nuts though, I named all my favourite LPS gals [and I say gals because, as a young girl, I decided my favourites were ALL girls, couldn't name all though because I literally had hundreds], and I named all my Webkinz. I still remember a good amount of my Webkinz names, most were lame like Goldie [a goldfish] but others were kinda cool, like the pink dinosaur named Sadie [after the Beatles song Sexy Sadie]. My brother liked Webkinz too, but I was actually nuts about them. Still obsessed with plushies to this day, honestly, and it probably started there. Shame Webkinz looks like trash now tbh
I REALLY hope this project led you to discover BabyLand General Hospital, which is undoubtedly the scariest and most surreal place in the US. There were a few clips of it in the beginning of this vid, but they don’t quite capture the vast and unsettling nature of just how giant the entire Cabbage Patch Birthing Arena is. It’s an entire sprawling room dedicated to a giant fake tree + cabbage garden where “you should listen closely for the announcement that a mother cabbage is in labor” as you visit.
My mom was one of those people that loved to sew. She bought a Xavier Roberts Cabbage Patch Kids pattern from a fabric store and started making tons of her own.
We had one of these in the closet of our family home when I was growing up. One day I cut the arms and legs off as the doll just generally freaked me the hell out every time I saw it. My mom never let me hear the end of it to this day.
Oh ik alllll about cabbage patch kids. It started in my hometown in Cleveland Ga and everytime I drive to work I see the "cabbage patch kids general hospital"
15:39 "...and crying so they can walk away with their coveted prize" *proceeds to show the kid whose prize got snatched before even going to check-out*
I worked at Gamestop back in like.. 2008 and that was the policy. We had to disclose to the parents when it was rated mature before checking them out and if the kid wasnt with their parents I had to ask for an ID. It was very awkward to say the least.
If you go to babyland general in Georgia you can watch the cabbage patch give birth and then the kids in attendance get to pick the name. You also can induce birth of the cabbage patch dolls.

Their heads are actually scented. I have a strong memory of it too
those mofos STANK
Same❤but add a little baby powder to that crayon and I think we're there 🤗
😂
Same haha except mine had a hint of strawberry
On the note for Childs play, the reason it was so on the nose about toy marketing in the 80s was because Don Mancini’s father worked in sales advertising. So Don saw first-hand how powerful advertising could be and how much it had an influence on people.

My mentally unstable grandma once called my mom all excited and said "I adopted a baby!"
My mom was horrified and drove an hour to see grandma to try to save this baby, turns out it was a cabbage patch kid.
😂 I can picture this
@@Wizgoht Can you picture the horrific tragedies of the mentally ill that have real children? It is much more hilarious.
Was it a joke or did she actually think it was a child?
@@Justin-pe9cl she’s not around to ask anymore, but if she’s anything like me I’m going to guess it’s 50/50.
When my great grandma was dying of lung cancer and it went to her brain she bascially became an Alzheimer's patient with memory loss. She once asked if I was adopted and my grandma answered I came from the cabbage patch.
Someone gave my daughter one as a gift when she was around 3 and she just looked at it and handed it to another family member.
Getting more Grandpa Meat lore in the episodes makes Hunter's personality really make sense
I love the little random trauma dumps, theyre like easter eggs
Cabbage patch kids were popular in the 80s and 90s and don't know why there's a riot for that. Melissa Barrera thank god she's fired for Israel hamas war on her 🐦📷👻 two of the three posts/stories about being Mexican her heritage and yes many of fans that did support her believed it but not spyglass entertainment & paramount cooperation because they fired her for the upcoming scream 7. Jenna Ortega did stated that you kicked Melissa Barrera out then ill go too. That's exactly what Ortega did.
you should check out his cream crew podcast theres a bunch of stories about his dad, “meatcanyon poops himself again” is a really funny one
@HeluvaOfficial Get a life bot user.
??????? K?@@kevinmunn666
Truth about the cabbage patch kids Xavier Robert's actually stole the idea from the original creator which was a young female folk art student from Kentucky. Xavier met the actual creator and bought a few dolls from her and sold them at a shop he worked at. Had her come down there to sell more of her dolls but then he started to under sell her while she was there, so she left and a few weeks later she sent him a cease and assist letter to Xavier demanding he give her the dolls back and he basically told her to fuck off and he then started making his own dolls with her exact designs. So in hindsight fuck Xavier Roberts
Glad you posted this comment. So few people know that fact. She tried suing him too, but they ended up settling out of court for an undisclosed amount. But the craziest part is that Robert’s directly stole Martha Nelson Thomas’ physical dolls and ideas for selling them (bar for bar) but had the audacity to try to sue the creators of Garbage Pail Kids for copy right infringement. 🥴
If this sounds interesting, you should watch the documentary Billion Dollar Babies: The True Story of Cabbage Patch Kids.
Well I feel bad now for saying that their ugly and creepy
@yaboi9349probably because the poor girl has her BILLION dollar idea stolen, not cuz she had a vagina
That’s the real story
You’d be shocked how often a giant mainstream product or brand was stolen from a smaller creator. McDonald’s used to be a small company with 2 owners and somebody came in and basically stole everything they had. Albeit he did pay each of them 1 million dollars but even then he still took everything they worked on and even tried rewriting the history. It’s a crazy story
Sounds like the stanly cup. “Why do you want them?” “I-I just like them.”
TIME IS A CIRCLE!
I had a furby and I painted its eyes and beak with glow-in-the-dark nail polish. When my mom walked by it in the dark one night, it turned on and said "me like you" she smacked it across the room. 😂 story time nightmare for parents everywhere. Toys coming to life...
Bruh I'd have flattened it right there things were unsettling as sin
😂😂 geez nightmare fuel for sure
Furbies are already terrifying as is, dear god

I was a little to young for the cabbage patch craze, but when I was born I was a small enough premature baby the hospital that they had to dress me in cabbage patch kid clothing, so for that I have to thank them.
yo mama spat a fetus
Surprisingly wholesome
Why were you born so premature? Have you talked to your mother about her habits and activities during pregnancy? Be warned...she may lie....she may guilt trip you for even asking. What health problems do you yourself have? Any palsy? Undersized? Sickly?
@@thormidthagahast8914 That's not your business 💀💀 sometimes it happens bruh
@@cheesemcmuffin7229 it happens when the mother Indulged in drugs, alcohol and so forth. Lack of pre natal care. If it's not our business then why tell us at all?
We can never forget the Tickle Me Elmo Carnage of 1996. It was nearly the death of my mother fighting for her life at Sears because my little brother needed it in order to survive.
My godfather took me and my little sister to Babyland here in Georgia when we were young thinking we would love it. I was terrified. We got to see the whole birthing ceremony (or whatever they call it). The actors were so serious like it was a real medical procedure. Like it was a real life or death scenario. I remember a woman getting handed the doll and she started crying she was so happy. I started crying. I was terrified.
I feel bad but that is really funny.
This is pretty spot on with my experience. “ITS NOT REAL MOM! IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE A BUTTHOLE TO POOP!”
If it was a godfather I'm thinking the man was doing your father a solid and instilling a healthy understanding of what sex can lead to, though perhaps your age might've been severely misjudged and that does sound a little too intense.
I mean you just saw a cult drag an eldrich abomination out of the aether in a summoning ceremony, and then bind some poor cultist lady into lifelong subservience. Your reaction was merited.
Wtf is Babyland
With love from, an Aussie
I honestly liked the craziness of Black Friday at midnight, hundreds of people swarming around you, you are looking for specific things like hunting for treasure. It was chaos, and exciting. (but god damn working in retail on Black Friday sucked)
Yea, I miss the chaos of it all. People would line up the night before after Thanksgiving and wait for stores to open.
Most Black Fridays I got to spend doing a boring job that didn’t interact with the public much. The one time I did work in a big store during Black Friday was a Toys R’Us when I was just 18 and I said never ever again. My heart goes out to anyone in retail during those dark days.
For the most part, though … it was a spectacle. One of those “you just have to experience it to get it” things. The first night I hung out with my then boyfriend (now husband) was after a night of clubbing back in 2004, and we met up with my sister and went to Walmart to watch the Black Friday chaos while still pretty sloshed (had a DD). We had a blast watching all these grown adults fighting over toys, some falling over themselves trying to rush and be the first to grab something as soon as it was brought out. It was like a sport.
There for a while, RUclips videos showing Black Friday madness provided entertainment, as well. Someone would always be recording the chaos.
Nowadays, though … everything is online (especially with Cyber Monday and members for certain services getting an extra few days in advance to shop the sales) and you can go into a store during a Black Friday sale and it feels like every other normal day.
Don't worry, the chaos is still there. It migrated to starbucks cup release days🙄 we had people waiting outside the store at 6am and they were FERAL over those cups.
I used to go just to wander the store looking for idiots fighting. Free entertainment right after Thanksgiving!
Having worked too many retail Black Fridays, and managing to get slammed by the mob so hard I bruised from underarm to hip, the only good things about working it was the time and a half pay and that you were guaranteed your pick of holiday off.
I love that a popular doll and a popular computer from the 1980s were both made by The Connecticut Leather Company.
When I was in the first grade I saw a little person in my school and thought cabbage patch kids were real because I didn't know any better and my sister also had one. This is probably where my life long battle with anxiety began.
You mean a midget?

I've been in retail for almost 15 years, and I've seen some shit. I got to see the furry and hatchimal fights first hand. A co-worker told me a tale of tickle me elmo was insane and a violent time. This black Friday was very tame to say the least.
I love how you describe it as fighting on the front lines lol much respect i definitely wouldn't have made it
You mean Furby or Fury?
Furries fighting in stores after toys?
I’m a young adult, still a teenager, and I had a cabbage patch kid when I was 6. I loved that thing to death. Now I’m obsessed with sculpting weird faces… so…
17:40 the new one is those super soft toys "Squishmallows" Same obsession, low stock, MANY variations.
19:10 VERY AGREED! I see so many things that are copy paste of things from the past. But people never seem to twig onto the fact its meaningless. Late night INFOMERCIALS are a good example, most of the products get "recycled" from years before.
Squishmallows are like the current nw days beanie baby
Everyone wants one. and each has a name, personality, and rarity
Basically just Funko Pops but...."plush".
At least squishmallows can be used as pillows if you want. Anything heavily plastic based can only become either a really dangerous dildo, landfill snacks, or sit on a shelf awaiting appraisal for however long before a market [re]opens for them.
Ok but squishmallows are great plushies
As a former cabbage patch kid fan, lol, what I loved as a kid was the birth certificate it came with, the baby powder smell, some had a special mouth hole for a pacifier and a bottle and all the accessories it had. Strollers, car seats, high chairs etc so to a little girl this was about as real as it got in the 80's
🚪
bro youtube comments ain't working out for you pup, free palistine when you know nothing about the conflict, stupid hamas supporter@@JumbooJangoo
"Special mouth hole"
That's really cute and wholesome actually. My mother didn't have me until the 90's but these little glimpses of what a similar timeline to hers could've been is very sweet.
“Special mouth hole for accessories”

I remember my grandma telling me a story one time about my grandpa going out during the Cabbage Patch Kids craze to get one for my mom (who was only 2 at the time) and went through hell to do so. One of the best and most interesting stories I've ever heard because of the sheer 'what the hell' factor to it. And the fact that it's even real
tell the story
Tell the damn story man!
how on earth are you going to say that but NOT tell the story. BLASPHEMER !!!!!!
The cabbage patch birthing field reminds me of that horrific scene out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).
Where the main character wakes up to find a clone of him growing in a veiny vegetable pod.
Dude your mom was 2 in 1983? That makes her 7 years older than me… how old are you? Are you allowed to even be on RUclips? 😂 jokes aside, that’s a fun story, I’d like to hear the long version
I haven’t laughed harder in a while. Papa Meat is the best host ever. I have a muscle spasm in my back right now and this video put me in a lot of pain. It was worth it.
The Babyland General Hospital and “birth” of a Cabbage Patch Kid is one of the weirdest things Ive ever witnessed in my life, yet it was also strangely artistic, soulful, and dedicated to the storytelling. I’ve been multiple times, and now its blowing up on Tiktok because of its peculiar nature and how it’s inconspicuously located on a bright green field in a plantation-style building in upstate Georgia. If you ever happen to be around the area, you just have to go. It’s one of those things that you need to witness at least once in real life. And “adopting” one directly from the hospital was (unsurprisingly) NOT cheap, it was like $300 for a singular Cabbage Patch Kid last time I went
It STILL exists?!
@@HCG yep, Babyland is going strong and is still very popular
I'm finding out about this just in time for haunted house season. 🎃 Now also haunted hospital season with a cabbage patch theme. 😂
My grandmother actually worked in a toy store at the time of these riots. She never saw any full-on fist fights breaking out but she did see a lot of screaming happening. And she was one of those people who had to throw out the cabbage dolls so that way people wouldn't maul each other to death.
I've never been more proud to have my near-home town of Wilkes-Barre featured so much😂😂 never change Wilkes-Barre, never change
Many Cabbage Patch Kids lost their lives in the great Cabbage Patch Riots of '83. Few know the true horrors that occured on that blackest of Fridays, but one does. One lone kid crawled his way through the green and red carnage that befell the patch that day. Years later, still haunted by the nightmares of that fateful day the surviving cabbage patch kid now shares his stories on RUclips under the name Papa Meat.
To steal a doll out of a child's hands to give to your own spawn is actually metal af.
Calling your kids 'your own spawn' is actually pretty metal af. Spawn of me, descendant of thee. Come along, spawn. Why when he gets in trouble all of a sudden he's my spawn, not our spawn? I've sired my spawn.
Both of you fuckin’ killed me. 😂
Is it?
I think someone should overlay doom eternal soundtracks over these black friday stampedes
@@HalcyonxTeatreehell yeah. Especially if the adult kicked the kid into a different aisle like papa meat said.
As someone who grew up with those dolls in the late 90's, I absolutely loved them. The lore, adoption papers, and customized aspect really got me.

The news report is hilarious! I lived by Wilkes-Barre my whole life, and remember my sisters getting cabbage patch dolls. I wonder if my dad was part of the riots. I like to think my dad pushed people out of the way for a creepy doll lol.
The older guy saying Cabbage Patch kids had a certain scent was absolutely right 😂 I grew up in the early 2000's so I got the later gen of Cabbage Patch Kids and somehow, they always smelled of baby powder. I don't know how they got the scent to stick because they wouldn't lose the smell for months on end
When you sleep Xavier comes to you like a tooth fairy and powders your kid
I think the smell was produced by whatever they treated the plastic body parts with, because me and my sister removed the weird (matte?) coating on one by scratching it with our nails and those parts lost the smell.
My grandmother told me tails of this, she braved the stores every year. Hell of a woman
Lol like a soldier with ptsd. I just imagine her taking a long drag of a cigarette, hands shaking while she recalls her time battling other adults in the trenches of the toy store.
God bless her for her service

When I was little, my grandma took me to the cabbage patch. You get to make your own doll and you get to see them be "born" from a cabbage. My parents were poor but my grandma wanted me to experience whatever fun kid things she could find. Honestly, it was so much fun. I was a little old for baby dolls but I loved the hands on experience. I recommend it even if you're an adult.
Meat you should create a cartoon demonstration of the birthing process of a cabbage patch kid
That's definitely up his alley
Just to add on: the cabbage patch kids would be birthed, and bred, in a facility/store storage area, harvesting them for black friday.
@@SnubMonkjust like a field of cabbages in the back area where they’re pushed onto a conveyer belt where the masses rip them apart trying to get their hands on one
I feel like while not as hysteric, the Pokemon craze of the 90's was pretty massive. From the games, to the trading card game and show, it was hitting every corner of the market for kids. Now it's so big it's got vending machines in almost every grocery store and mall in my state.
South park did a great episode on this very thing. Chinpokomon. Good stuff.
It became a big fad for a bit but Pokemon never caused this kind of insanity. In fact it was the opposite. The kids like it but the parents hated it; especially Christians.
I don't think there ever was any actual hysteria surrounding Pokemon, probably partially because it's actually real obvious why kids think it kicked ass and thus didn't need the cultish weirdness like those CPK. If you ask a kid why they like Pokemon, they'd say "because this one's a cute turtle that also shoots bubble bullets that explode, and he's fighting this dragon that shoots energy beams and does flying tackles at Mach 5, and we'll all get to be friends and go on adventures". Meanwhile the CPK have no rationale behind them other than "it's an uglier version of normal baby dolls that come with a piece of paper, which lets you experience the joys of raising a special needs kid with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome".
Thank you for this! We’re very close in age and I remember the cabbage patch dolls. I HAD to have one, every Christmas. Love your channel! ❤❤❤

I'm almost 25 and I was obsessed with Cabbage Patch Kids. I think my parents took me (I have pictures somewhere) to the factory once when they did tours in the early 2000's.
I remember when those dolls came out. First time we had seen something like that- people acting batshit and rioting over childrens toys. It really was insane.
Now it's every Wednesday
Yep. It sure was.
I remember these times. I went Christmas shopping with my grandma for my sisters and she got two the store had a security guard walk us to her car and he had her lock it in her trunk and go straight home not to stop. I had no idea what the deal was until I was much older. People went crazy over these things.

14:09 my favorite part. We need Meat as the voice of The Joker
My grandma managed to get 4 or 5 of these for my cousins, my brother, and myself- without ever setting foot in a store. You could mail order these. Apparently mail order worked like a lottery system because of the scarcity, so orders weren't guaranteed. Even so, she was able to buy plenty and avoid the madness.
Growing up with strict parents I completely feel the pain of that GameStop story. Real as fuck.
Meanwhile when my dad paid my older cousin to make a PC for me, he installed Unreal Tournament '99 and it's still one of my favourite games to this day
As a child who didn't particularly care about dolls, except for my cabbage patch doll, because it was so real to me with the whole interactive nursery thing they have, plus being born amidst the original toy story trilogy, yes, it fucked me up in a number of ways as cute as it was to do
I live in GA and actually saw the cabbage patch tree at a museum and it was haunting, they had a delivery room for the babies too. I’ve never been the same since.
I think that you're forgetting the amount if grown ups that wanted these things for themselves
The intro card is Papa's tribute to Dankula.
I had cabbage patch kids from when my mother was little. I had like three of them. Vintage ones. Never tore them up. We still have them hidden in a storage room on the property my brother was given.
The other "cool old thing " we had was Mom and Dad both had collected beanie babies when younger. My brother collected early Pokemon cards and after looking through his sleeve book of cards, he had several original art Charizards.
I'm old as dirt compared to your average fan and I remember cabbage patch dolls. They were kind of like status symbols for kids, I know that sounds weird. But I remember a girl bringing her cabbage patch doll to church and I was like "she thinks she's better than me."
I remember the Cabbage Patch Kids epidemic. I was 9 or 10 at the time and I heard some stories of people being trampled, some to death for these dolls. I collected Garbage Pail Kids trading cards instead. It was the sane option.
been on a huge binge of your videos in preparation for the creepcast first episode- and i'm enjoying your content so much. your videos give me good laughs and i really appreciate that. keep it up papa meat!!!
It would be terrifying if you made an animation over these
I think the Tickle Me Elmo riots make the perfect sequel!
This has easily become one of my favorite channels. I love the things you cover and how you cover them. I was born in 1989 please keep the vibes of the 90's alive & well. Like how u cover how things were when u were growing up. Like garbage pale kids, goosebumps, are you afraid of the dark. Now talking about obscure stuff like beanie baby craze, cabbage patch dolls, the craze of McDonald's Toys collections, the furby craze, etc. There's so much obscure nonsense to be covered.
While I do like the reminiscing, I wouldn't really call any of the things you mentioned 'obscure.' All of those were wildly popular in their time and day.
Talked at work today to a younger generation of how Black Friday at malls and toys r us used to be a rite of passage and a communal event and I genuinely miss that.
17:07 just bought my kid the new Furby…. Biggest mistake I’ve made thus far as a parent. 😵💫🔫
I actually went Black Friday shopping for the first time this year cuz I have grown up with horror stories about it my whole life but it was honestly not much worse than any other day at Walmart I didn’t even have to wait in the checkout line
Black Friday has lost its appeal in recent years. A lot of people didn’t even do Black Friday shopping in stores. I bet most people did it online
@@BabyGirlTinyyuppp def all those online deals. haha and i think retail stores way prepare for it. at target a few years back we had a line outside the door and kinda just had them go in one by one instead of by the herds
I black Friday shopped in the safety and comfort of my home, like everybody else
2013/14 was the last valid legitimate black friday. No one camps out in front of stores anymore. No lines around the corner. The corporations don't put out deals that are worthwhile anymore.
Any bet the Cabbage Patch Kids will get like an adult horror film when the IP goes into the public domain?

“There’s a lot of violence in this game…”
“Well I beat my kid so I’m sure it’ll cancel out”
The only response I’d give
My mom has an original cabbage patch doll. She never let us play with it, not that we wanted to. We were happy with our barbies and beanie babies.
Xavier is my cousin. He didn’t invent them, he bought the pattern from an elderly lady in Ga.
“Bought”.
As a child of the 80s, cabbage patch kids were pure nightmare fuel to me.. that and the Chucky doll I got for Christmas one year.
I feel like it's the parents who wanted to get the ugly dolls more than their kids haha.
I remember the Cabbage Patch riots the only time I ever seen soccer moms kill each other in line at Kmart and the ones that made it through the line got brass knuckled in the parking lot but most of them had to have armed security to escort them to their cars with bulletproof vests on.
When Darwin came for the Karens. Survival of the fittest.
My mom was just telling me about cabbage patch kids, how everyone wanted them. My aunt crocheted 3 for my brother and sisters because they were all sold out.
Pretty sure Squishmallows are the new Cabbage Patch Kid/Beanie Baby. My God kids are crazy for those things, even adults are. While Christmas shopping I overheard a kid trying to convince her parents to buy her one. I was in the same aisle looking at some plushies to get ideas of what to get my daughter. Anyway she comes over with this Day of the Dead styled Squishmallow and this is the part that got my attention and almost bust out laughing. She in a serious tone says "Mum I need this." Her mum said she didn't and they were there looking for present for her friend's birthday party. Then the kid put on her serious negotiation voice. "No, I am serious. I need this for school." So her mum asks how in the world would school require her to buy a Squishmallow. The girl says "I need this for my homework. I have to do a speech on Day of the Dead and show something from it to my class and this is from Day of the Dead." Her mum said she does not need a Squishmallow for her speech. The kid gets more serious and says "You don't understand. I. NEED. THIS. I. WILL. FAIL. IF. I. DON'T. GET. THIS." Like she full on did the slow spaced out words and condescending tone as if her mum was too stupid to comprehend how badly she "needed" this Squishmallow. Her mum was getting annoyed at this point and said "No. You don't need a Squishmallow for your speech, you just want it for yourself. It isn't even anything to do with Day of the Dead, they have just copied the art style from it. Put it back now. We will find something another time that is actually from Day of the Dead." The kid full on had the shits now and reiterated that she "needed" this specific Squishmallow or she would fail and how unfair her mum was being. I think she was around 10-12 years old. Her mum just said no again and then made her put it back.
The thing was $20 too. It was so hard not to laugh at this kid, thankfully it wasn't obvious I was listening as the toys I was looking through was a complete mess and hard to find what I was looking for so I looked busy.
LMAO sorry about this essay, this video made me think of it as it only happened on Friday. I just thought it was too funny not to share as you mentioned how kids try anything to get what they want and I immediately thought back to this. Glad the mum didn't give in to the bullshit though.
Don't apologize. This post was funny as hell.
you're a coward for not going up to the mom and telling her "actually, my daughter's class is doing the same thing - they really do need this for their presentation; make sure your kid takes this seriously."
That's a cute story thanks for sharing. Good on the mother, hopefully the little one will be better from it.
@@frikghorgan LMAO! I should have 😂
@@MegadethTillDeth Not gonna lie, I was kind of impressed by the kids acting skills though, but impressed that the mum didn't blow up or give in!
I can imagine the kids flexing their cabbage patch dolls but I can also imagine the parents flexing that they had to rip the doll out of a defenseless child's hands just to satisfy the demanding demon's they call children. In the end the children where uglier than the dolls themselves.
And this is why meat canyon draw people so nasty lookin'.
Assuming much? I bet you're pro choice too.

@spirituscaeruleum4563 it's just a doll.....
I was born in the 2000s so I don't recall any craze like the cabbage patch kids, but my main vices were twofold as a kid;
Webkinz and Littlest Pet Shops.
I still have all of each. I was the "cool kid" among my like... two or three friends [horrendously shy] because I had a massive toy collection. My parents spent money on only two things, quality food and their kids [my brother and I]. They saved money on everything else. I was lowkey nuts though, I named all my favourite LPS gals [and I say gals because, as a young girl, I decided my favourites were ALL girls, couldn't name all though because I literally had hundreds], and I named all my Webkinz. I still remember a good amount of my Webkinz names, most were lame like Goldie [a goldfish] but others were kinda cool, like the pink dinosaur named Sadie [after the Beatles song Sexy Sadie]. My brother liked Webkinz too, but I was actually nuts about them. Still obsessed with plushies to this day, honestly, and it probably started there.
Shame Webkinz looks like trash now tbh
Build-a-Bears are the modern day Cabbage Patch Kids
I REALLY hope this project led you to discover BabyLand General Hospital, which is undoubtedly the scariest and most surreal place in the US. There were a few clips of it in the beginning of this vid, but they don’t quite capture the vast and unsettling nature of just how giant the entire Cabbage Patch Birthing Arena is. It’s an entire sprawling room dedicated to a giant fake tree + cabbage garden where “you should listen closely for the announcement that a mother cabbage is in labor” as you visit.
My mom was one of those people that loved to sew. She bought a Xavier Roberts Cabbage Patch Kids pattern from a fabric store and started making tons of her own.
We had one of these in the closet of our family home when I was growing up. One day I cut the arms and legs off as the doll just generally freaked me the hell out every time I saw it. My mom never let me hear the end of it to this day.
11:08 now I see why they named you Hunter
Oh ik alllll about cabbage patch kids. It started in my hometown in Cleveland Ga and everytime I drive to work I see the "cabbage patch kids general hospital"
15:39 "...and crying so they can walk away with their coveted prize" *proceeds to show the kid whose prize got snatched before even going to check-out*
I worked at Gamestop back in like.. 2008 and that was the policy. We had to disclose to the parents when it was rated mature before checking them out and if the kid wasnt with their parents I had to ask for an ID. It was very awkward to say the least.
6:43. Idk what that was supposed to be.
13:12 hype of missing out 😂😂😂
As someone who had a Cabbage Patch doll in the 2000’s I am now horrified.
If you go to babyland general in Georgia you can watch the cabbage patch give birth and then the kids in attendance get to pick the name. You also can induce birth of the cabbage patch dolls.
