- Опубликовано: 10 май 2019

None of us hated joe, we just missed steve
I never knew who joe was cause I grew up before I was able to watch those episodes
@@l_.d.t Dude same, I watched Blue's Clues before Steve wen't to collage. So I never got to be sad when Steve wen't to collage
True that
@Braden Nolan reruns?
Yea
Imagine memorizing an entire plot and having to do it in front of a green screen
I was thinking the same thing. Like, he's just performing in front of a green screen all alone with a few props, when literally almost everything else is digitalized. musta been hard

It’s so weird because he’s doing it all alone

If I remember correctly, Steve temporarily returned to say hi on episode 100. Joe filled him in on what "we" had learned so far, and Steve was impressed at us learning fractions.
Good times. Steve leaving is where men cried.
When Steve left, all the children of the world grew a small a chest hair that day
@@MosiahWhite not bc They grew to be a man... But bc They had to, there was no other way to endure the pain
And him returning a few days ago, made us cry too
I was pretty much 4 by 2002 and didnt see the show until like 2004 yet I still teared up seeing it for the first time in this video

Don’t u do this to me, don’t u ruin my favorite childhood show

NO NOT BLUE FROM THE HIT SHOW BLUES CLUES
Someone needs to make a comedy of blues clues and add that in
Yeah for the guy on blues clues in the new one
*"Blue's Clues taught me.... that nothing is forever. And that's okay."*
Damn. That hits so hard. 😢
And patterns… can’t forget about the patterns
I wanna cry
Just like how the ending of Amphibia once told us, "Change could be difficult, but it’s how we grow. It’s the hardest thing to realize you can’t hold on to something forever, but sometimes you have to let it go. But half the things you let go, you’d be surprised what makes its way back to you."
Thanks
I ran to my mom crying saying “steve is going to college mom! I’m going to miss him!” 😭 she looked at me like I was crazy! 😂 I was so invested in this show as a child. Steve was literally my best friend. So much nostalgia watching this video I love it ❤️
I did the same!
Im a 35 year old man and this whole video got me in tears, Steve was really someone special, I know the show was meant to talk one on one with the audience individually but no one could have done the way Steve did it, he didn't know how big of a legend he was going to become.
What I learned from this:
Steve was a 90s sk8tr boy
But she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he’s a super star
I knew that since I was three!
He totally listened to Ska Music
"Nothing lasts forever, and that's okay." Hit the hardest
The homies are gonna leave one day 😔
yep because its true but its actually nothing 'GOOD' because all know horrible stuff last forever, or maybe its my bad luck who knows.
When your homies from the school go to separate paths in life and you know you will never see them again but they will always live in your memories
Pour one out for the lost homies... :(
@@flaze2275 I poor em out every night thinking about how I could spend one more day laughing with them
The way he drew in his handy dandy notebook was so satisfying cause it was always perfect. I think my obsession with tiny notebooks came from this show lol
Omg same!!!!!
The new guy from the 2019 reboot is Great!!! But his drawings in the notebooks suck.
Same lol
Steve apologised recently to us for his sudden departure and I just cried my way through it? I don't think I realised that it was almost kind of traumatic for me as a kid for Steve to just.... leave like that. But like, in the way that it hurts when a friend moves away.
I cannot believe it's been 25 years.
He left in 2002 you dunce. Thats only 20 years you absolute brainlet.
Wow, guess you didnt listen to Steve during the addition and subtraction lessons at all huh?
Wow.
Its more than 25 years now, and now we get to see our friend Steve at conventions.
Awh man... "many sick children wanted to see their friend Steve." is both super sad and touching.
Hesusio i mean but theyre literally like 4, and idk man, maybe it’s not bad. it’s like kids who want to see the avengers before they die, if it makes them happy, who really cares ig.
*TORTURED SCREAMING AND CRYING AT THE BUS STOP IRL*
mysterymilk boi That's not the sad part.
It’s uplifting in a way
It made me tear up
the hate-mail gag was both hilarious and profoundly heartbreaking at the same time
What hate mail gag? Was that in the vid or show?
@@thegreatcornholio5025 8:49
@@crazygrape ah, thanks
It was hilarious? It was hysterical!
“We just got a letter
We just got a letter

The whole "cultivating a relationship with the kids through the camera totally worked" is absolutely true. I'm STILL convinced that Steve went off to college.
As a parent watching a lot of Blue's Clue, the genius part of the show is the non-verbal communications. Young kids picked up Steves facial expressions and Blue's actions. IMO, talking muppets just broke the magic of the show.
I feel like the biggest irony of the show is that Blue's Clues did fake interactivity so well and to a fucking art that stuff like Dora ended up feeling insultingly childish by comparison.
I remember when 'Steve' left and my mom and I had a serious discussion that sometimes people go. I remember being sad and playing with my Blue stuffed animal, never watching it again.
I remember my gran had to tell me that too I was a 2011 kid because I was born in 2009 yet still know the horror I got through with That episode
awww
I had a similar thing happen to me, i never watched it again after steve was gone, once he left my friend was gone. there was no longer a reason to watch.
Thats sad y'all. I was born in 86 but my brother loved Blues Clues. I never got to see Steve leave because we didnt have cable. I liked the got coz he just had the charisma of pee wee Herman. Even when Pee Wee was kicked off the air, I couldn't understand why. So I guess what I'm saying is Pee Wee was my Steve. My brothers Steve was his Pee Wee.
@@violinfanatickamraz1403 You must be 34 then?
My mom still talks about how she cried when Steve went to college.
Plot twist Steve was your father
@@largemarge2098 0_0 I never saw it coming!
It’s pretty understandable
If I was a parent I probably would too-
How old is your mom? Just wondering, not being disrespected
There is an episode of the new blues clues where the new guy calls up Steve and Joe to ask for help with his current clue. At first this moment is nothing more than a cute cameo, then steve asks "hey do you mind if I talk to my friend for a moment". The mood gets a little more personal and the phone is oriented to face the screen. Steve then directly speaks to us like he always did, engaging with us and waiting for our response. Asking us to help the new guy like we helped him. I fucking instantly burst into tears. Its such a personal moment designed to engage with those that grew up with him. Maybe parents watching this new show with their kids would see that and be affected. Steve will always and forever be our friend.
Joe also said "like you helped me" to the audience like Steve... Steve and Joe BOTH told us to help Josh and honestly I cried im almost 22 and I honestly teared up when I watched that scene in the new show
Ya I saw that on facebook and ugly cried 😭
"Daddy why are you crying?"
"HE IS STILL SO KIND, AFTER ALL THIS YEARS"
please have some respect. that new guy is josh. I grew up with this show and remember so well when we got joe. I'm 25. josh is absolutely killing it.
@Lemonworm, such episode was this?
The discovery that the host speaks sign language while speaking, made my heart melt. I loooved it because I just thought he was very animated as a child, until later in life realizing that he did that so that anyone could understand Blue's Clues. Simply amazing and underrated.
I do actually have somewhat of a soft spot for Joe. He never quite reached Steve's level, but I could never hate him.
That basically sums up his entire aesthetic
Same here. He's just being himself and I still thought joe was fun. Steve's big role just overshadowed him
Joe was chill
The new Steve in "Blue's Clues and You" can't even reach JOE'S level and I only saw him like two times in "Blue's Clues"? Idk but I only remember seeing the kind, soft old Steve.
@@angelcoffee1972 I wonder if they would ever do a reunion special, where Steve AND Joe come back.
I don't know what's weirder, the fact that there's a generation that lives with Joe instead of Steve, or the fact that there's a generation that lives with Josh instead of Joe and Steve.
Who’s Josh? Didn’t watch the full video so i have no clue if “Josh” is someone he mentioned.
@@thecreatorofpc7929 Oh, Josh was never mentioned in the video but he's basically the current host for the new Blue's Clues and You in Nick Jr. There's actually an episode where he didn't know what's going on with Blue and so he called Joe and Steve. It's such a beautiful moment because it feels like a response to this video.
The only reason why I knew about Josh is because he's Filipino, and it made headlines here
Josh???
Who the hell is Josh???
Ok i understand now
I see no better way of celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary than watching this great vid .
There is Steve giving every one our age the feels
Blues clues taught me that two triangles can make a square or rectangle.
That means that two things can come together to create something greater. Two Ideas, two strengths, two friends, two brothers, etc. It taught me that just because one thing does not work, it could mean that its the only ingredient in this recipe. It could be needing something else to be able to function greater.
I will never forget that show.
That is BEAUTIFUL ToT
That's deep
My mom would set up clue hunts for me, drawing paw prints on sticky notes and putting them on things around the house. Then, once I found them and drew them, I'd rush over and climb onto my thinking chair, a big armchair in our living room and think about it for a while, before triumphantly announcing the answer to her. I love her so much and I'm so thankful for all she did for me, she really made my childhood magical
that's so sweet omg I wish all the happiness in the world for you and your mom
that's so beautiful it made me cry
I’m tearing up omg
That’s so sweet and beautiful🥰
A..hah hah...
Remember that this man spent years performing in front of a green screen, pretending as if he was talking to friends in a world... which actually never existed. To have to perform like that can take a toll on anyone's brain, yet he managed to keep up with it till the end. That's the mark of a great actor.
Btw I used to watch this when I was 8. :)

Yup. Just like quinton and alnost everyone else her e, acting like they only liked steve yet they werent even born yet for it or were an infant.

I never expected to see this here, but i'm so glad it is.
Well put, although I'd argue that the most poetic losses are often the really tragic ones. Depends on your taste in poetry, I guess.

Your ability to turn this mix of childhood anecdotes and depressing behind-the-scenes clips into such an emotionally resonant and uplifting narrative is pretty outstanding.
This is a really touching video.

Agreed.
I am angry that he didn't mention the garfield comic where Jon drank a full cup of dog cum without noticing
I can’t believe he was able to do that
@@IcyDiamond is interesting to see people in the mind
Its like on that very last line the real Steve and the fictional character finally intersected and Steve managed to be himself and completly honest in the show for once.
It's more accurate to say that was the only time he COULD truly be himself, since everything preceding this had to follow a rigid set of scripted phrases. When there would be no more scripts, Steve finally had the ability to be both versions of himself at once.
This video made me cry like a baby. I couldn’t put into words what Steve and Blue’s Clues meant to me. Even today as an adult, I feel comfort from it. Just hearing and seeing Steve Burns talk makes me happy inside. In a weird way, I guess. I just.. Steve was my best friend. When he went to college, I was happy for him but sad it was over. I didn’t realize it could end. Hell, I was that kid going around talking to furniture thinking everything had a sentience. I was overly nice to everyone. I had friends at school that we would pretend we had Blue or Magenta with us. Thank you, Steve. With you and Blue, I felt like I really could do anything.
No one talks about how hard it was on the parents when Steve left. As a new Mom, I was broken. 😢 My two year old, however, took it all in stride. 💪🏻 😀
"We just got a letter we just got a letter, we just got a letter, I wonder who it's from?"
"NIntendo? Super Smash Bros? wow!"
I wonder what his final smash is
Obviously a Blue's clue.
It's a letter from Hogwarts.
Steve is already in Smash lol

@Anthony Robinson Steve is definitely gonna make more appearances now considering the 25th anniversary is here
When I was a kid, I used to think there was a device in the tv that allowed Steve to hear me because I could hear other children in the background. I would get mad because I would sometimes shout out the answer 1st and he would ignore me. I also believed that if I bought a bigger tv it would show more of the picture... I miss being a dumb kid, the world felt so much bigger.
Lol, you know how videos say "leave a thums up"? So idk how so i LITTALLY did a thums up when i was 4.
thats so cute
Nope just shows the same part of the screen just bigger. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY
Wait you mean that wasn't the case?Oh my God if Steve couldn't hear me dose that mean Dora and Diego couldn't either? My whole childhood was a lie.
Same....miss being a tiny dummy
Not me at 20 years old actually crying about Steve leaving
Oh good. Glad to know I wasn't alone lolol
Seriously! I never watched the show but I'm so sad
I grew up with steve and joe but never watched the episode where steve left on that one fateful day, after watching the episode after never watching it when i was little i still cried, i remember steve way more than joe, steve was a pretty big part of my childhood
This was my favorite show since I was a CHILD now I'm a teen 🥺
Me too.
I remember a couple years ago, I was in this big mandatory college class for all freshman media students. I remember the professor asking how many of us watched Blues Clues as a kid. About three quarters of this packed lecture hall raised their hands.
You can clearly see Steve holding back tears on that last line before going out.
Sherlock Holmes can eat it’s heart out. Blues Clues was where the real mysteries were.

When I was a kid it was the same. Honestly I think this show is the reason that I like mystery and detective stuff so much now.
I destroyed many a notebook trying.
Loved how you analyzed Blues Clues and the impact Steve had on families. Parents watched him with their children and I think we missed him more than the children
“We just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a letter....... it’s another death threat” LMAO
Idk who you are but you’re funny. Thank you.

Share it, yo
I too liked that crayon
Yeah my dad made me watched this when I was a kid, and all of the episodes he made me watch was with Steve. I honestly didn't know he left months before I was born.
Same. I remember that episode
This makes me wanna save these shows for my kids when I have them. Blue's Clues, the earlier Tom & Jerry, earlier Spongebob ect. Things have more soul back then
*GRAVITY FALLS*
@@JETS5 *_it's just another goofy episode filled with jokes for kids_*
Don't forget KND and Regular Show
I agree with this
Tom and Jerry is one of the few shows that stayed pretty good.
I’m being completely serious when I say that this video nearly brought me to tears. I found myself singing or saying out loud old sound bites from the show. I remembered the notebook, the chair, the characters, all of it. Maybe the hardest throwback I’ve ever been hit with, to a time I can only remember through those moments that bring me back
Nearly, don't lie, you cried, like me, 35 year old man and this video made me shed tears.
😭I miss it
I never hated Joe, but after two episodes watching him I've stopped because he wasn't Steve. I felt that my childhood went away with Steve and left me a bit of an empty feeling.
Same
I felt the same like my child hood was never the same
yeah it wasn’t nearly the same.. an i probably felt resentment toward joe. steve made the show what it was along the energy he brought
Your entire childhood went away with steve???
It's somewhat fitting though depending on your age when you started watching it because by 2002, the original audience was starting to get older.
It felt the same way for most kids that watched the original Power Rangers cast end up slowly breaking apart and being replaced over time.
Damn why u gotta make me cry like that 😤
Same 😭 I miss you Steve
dude same
It’s 5:30 I couldn’t sleep and now i gotta cry
For real I had completely forgotten about the episode that Steve left and him talking about it brought those emotions back and I had to shed some tears for my main man Steve.
ANJERY
My 4 year old just got to those episodes. I've rarely seen her cry like this, and only once over something on a show. Truly an amazing, sweet, and heartbreaking thing to see.
The fact that this man changed our childhoods and is so humble. 😊🤗🥲
It’s unbelievable that Fred Rodgers was the standard for children’s programming at one point, he should be the standard again.
Even Bear from Bear in the Big Blue house was comparable to Fred Rodgers.
madden8021
In a sense, yeah. But I guess it’s been a while since there had been a show that calmly and sweetly described to children the gravity of divorce, the negative repercussions of racism and even a mass shooting: which is sadly something more prevalent now more than ever.
@@DiegoAlvarezBeltran1993. Very True indeed.
DBfan 84
You kind of answered your question?
Somewhat, anyway: When he passed away, he left a blueprint of what children’s television /should/ be, kind and gentle, not overbearing and able to communicate even the most important subject matters in an easy digestible manner for children to comprehend but still speaking to them like adults.
It is a fine line that Fred Rodgers drew perfectly.
@@DiegoAlvarezBeltran1993. it doesn't even have to be a copy.
Just teach kids it's okay to feel things. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to be angry. There's a reason they feel that way but they can also stop feeling that way if they want to.
I really didn't expect to cry at a video about blue's clues
Me neither but this video really filled the current hole in my life

RIP, hope you’re feeling better random internet person.
Born in 97, blues clues was my first love as a show, blue becoming my favorite color, realizing blue and pink weren't gender exclusive, learning more every day. My favorite movie that I had on vhs was when Steve solved the musical with periwinkle... I love it still.
Can we please talk about how blue's clues teaches ASL? Didn't know that? Watch what Steve (or Joe or Josh even) does when he says "blue's clues" "think" or "smart" depending on the host/episode and "thanks". All of those are ASL signs! Teaching young children ASL is very important, it gives them other ways of communication that parents/caretakers can understand as well, beyond just spoken and written words! Josh even does nick jr. social media campaigns with "blues clues asl signs of the week"
(Edit: I had no idea "blue's world" was a thing until you showed it and the clip brought forth a long forgotten memory of it)
Although this episode was the saddest moment, the most saddest moment was actually Fred Rogers Goodbye Speech that aired at the end of 2002 because one year after the speech, he passed away on February 27th, 2003. Although he was loved by everyone in the world, his goal wasn't achieved. Because even after his death, the world doesn't change. The US-led Coalition invade Iraq, the Afghan War continues to this very day, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen collapsed into Civil War, it seems like the world doesn't changed. Fred Rogers wanted the world into a better life. Which means he just wanted the world to end those bloodshed. If Fred Rogers lives longer, he would be totally disappointed when he sees the world today.
Itmakes me sad and i loved mr.roger and blues clues
People want to watch the world burn.
But a very rare few just want to watch the world learn.

That’s because this world is run by a satanic elite, not good people like Mr Rogers
@@taidakun_ig boy this is good counter to that quote commenting, cause there is no bookmark/save option, have a like! ;]
I was in first or second grade when Steve left the show, and I remember, while talking about the change with some friends at lunchtime, one of my friends started to cry. When we asked her if it was because she was gonna miss Steve, she said no, it was because her parents were getting divorced. It seemed out of left field then, but now I wonder if talking about the smaller change (the loss of Steve) poked at the bruise of a much bigger one. Idk, just a thought.
(Thank you for the video, it made me cry, in the good way.)
I believe Steve leaving must have reminded her of how her parents getting a divorcing and never sharing the same household again as big changes for her.
I was in like kindergarten or something
She probably saw it as one more thing changing in her life, and what would be next!!
I can only imagine all those thoughts happening at the same time for a 1st or 2nd grader. She finally broke during lunch time and started crying.

Honestly I wanna cut that snippet from the video and use it as a Discord meme, that's gold 🤣
The episode that Steve left- it was the first to teach me loss... strangely enough, that was probably the last day I thought that everything was picture perfect, and the last day I really had that “spark.”
Damn. Out all of these comments, this one resonates with me and I can't understand why.
Big sad :(
Similar to Stephen Hillenburg leaving Spongebob after the first movie. Spongebob's considered slapstick/physical humor: Laughs came from characters getting hurt. But many iconic jokes are in the show and nobody was injured. After he left, people forgot about that: Instead of slapstick, characters are just getting hurt in stupid ways, but it's not funny anymore. It's isn't the same without you, Stephen (1961-2018).
That year just wasn’t nice. I lost Steve and then the family cat. My childhood was gone and I was sent into a spiraling torrent of pain and misery. HOW COULD YOU LEAVE STEVE
I didn't really believe he wasn't coming back, only hit home on the first episode of the next season, but once I realized that he really wasn't coming back the experience was pretty similar to how you described it.
OMG this made me cry a little. I wasn't a kid, I HAD kids (my kids were born in 1997,98,and 99.) Steve was so good at his job and this show was so sweet. I cried when he left. Joe was fine but it wasn't the same.
I saw this after I watched Steve's short video for Blue's Clues 25th Anniversary. It's amazing that how much this affected everyone, as small or big it may be. It's a wonderful thing to be a part of. I never saw the episodes that Steve actually left. I found out much later in life that he was replaced but I just "outgrew" it. Coming back to it, it really makes you wanna tear up. It's beautiful.
Man, my stomach dropped when he first showed the part where they figured out the clues made a handy dandy notebook. Childhood sadness was reborn from this video
Maybe the real Blues Clues is the friends we made along the way.
Your not wrong, 😭
Stop, I don't wanna cry
They really were.
*sad salute*
Slept with*
There will never be a show like Blue clues, and there doesn't need to be. The show left a permanent mark on so many people. It kept us young by showing us how to grow up. Beautiful.
I grew up with Joe running everything, yet whenever I saw Joe, I said "Mommy, I wanna see my friend Steve! Can I see Steve?"
The reason none of the other foodstuffs talk is because Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper aren't sentient salt and pepper, they're sentient salt and pepper shakers. Kind of like how Kool Aid Man is just a giant empty pitcher who happens to contain Kool Aid.
Logic.
I've also thought about this
What about baby paprika
Also Steve is just talking skin and just happens to contain a brain, bones, and organs
@@baconbot62 make scenes for me
@@poncedefreon84 Scenes about talking skin that just happen to contain a brain, bones, and organs?
I remember having a huge crush on Steve when I was little. I cried so much when he left the show. It's weird how you can connect with someone without ever meeting them.
till you grow up and come to understand you never knew these people so how could you connect with them in any way other then a childish memory of the past. dont get me wrong grew up with the show too but its a show not an actual person to make a connection with. this hole comment section makes me chuckle beyond belief.
There a replacement named josh
That's why the term parasocial relationship exists.
It's also why Twitch is a thing.
@@Caydiem yeah never experienced that, guess i live in reality.
@@CaptainTittus Actually, it has nothing to do with living in a reality or not. My therapist actual brought up parasocial relationships to me, because I grow that type of attachment easily with youtubers & celebrities(or the characters they play) that I relate to in one way or another.
If someone let's it get out of hand, that's when you get creepy obsessed people, who take it to far (stalking, finding phone numbers, ect.) But for people who don't let it get out of hand, it's a way that gives comfort or a sense of friendship.
This happens most frequently with people who feel lonely, weither it's because they were emotionally neglected, or they never felt like they could find people who they related too, ect.
That is typically the reason why people get so attached to people they follow on the internet, or watch on TV. Again, it's dangerous if it gets out of hand, but for most, it's a sense of comfort. Especially in this day and age where many people feel isolated (not just cause covid).
Sorry for the long reply, just wanted to get my thought out there.
this isn't when the boys cried, this isn't where the girls cried, this is where we all cried.
I can’t count the amount of times I watched Blue’s Big Musical Movie as a kid. The show as well was very special to me. Thank you for the nostalgia dose
One of my friends had his own life-size version of the thinking chair and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. This show really did have a profound impact on people.
That IS the coolest thing in the world. I want one
You know they actually let Steve keep the thinking chair in the end? Or at least one of them? Apparently he’ll actually sit in it with his (real) dog sometimes. You never think about what would happen to the thinking chair, but knowing that Steve still has his chair, still sits in it with his dog, that just keeps me going sometimes.
Kal that’s beautiful 😭
I had one, dont know where it is though
It came with crayons and the Handy dandy Notebook
I had one too. By the time it was no longer in the house (I forget if we donated it or just threw it out), it was in very bad shape thanks to *years* of me endlessly bum-rushing the chair with notebook in hand.
Oh my god the birth of Baby Paprika was one of my most defining childhood moments
i saw baby paprika when i was little and i loved her. paprika was what made me want a baby sibling
I actually forget about him at all. But this video immediately reminded me of that and I remember how happy I am when I saw baby Paprika is born.
Yes and when I was little I never thought peprika was an actually real
Same
Same
This review made me realize how much influence this show has had on me! My love of mysteries, problem solving, notebooks, and writing started with Blues Clues. 💙
This is especially relevant with Steve’s return to us!
It makes me sad that they didn’t give Steve a better goodbye. All the characters are just like “okay bye Steve 😽👋”
@@shartface929 rip
I wish blue went with him and blues clues ended, would’ve been the perfect ending
@@GUAMzilla23 oh my gosh yes
@@GUAMzilla23 just b normal and stop watching then!
@@blessedwolfNotAFurry wtf?
We just got an upload! We just got an upload! We just got an upload! I wonder who it's from!
It’s another death threat
Oh no...
..
@@DreadBirate Blue, put it in the pile.
@@cherrylemon2940 *Throws into a pile of 1000 or so bloodstained VHS tapes*
I remember Steve , joe, and I hated it ,now I see my sisters singing “We just got a email” it gives me flash backs of “we just got a letter”
Maybe someday I’ll be on a game show and they’ll ask “what is the name of this chair”
Me: “what is, our thinking chair”
Whenever I think of Blue’s Clues, I think of the one VHS special where Steve had an existential crisis about how he’s never the one to find the clues himself. It resolved with a clue literally falling on his head, giving him the validation he so desperately craved.
EDIT: Thanks to Wikipedia for reminding me the special was called “Blue’s Big Musical Movie”
Anyway, great video as always! Surprisingly emotional
Oh My Lord, I remember that. I rented that tape all the time from Blockbuster.
Agent Raven Aaaaaa, I had that vhs!!! I remember it fondly 💙💙💙
No joke the song steve learns in that movie is still stuck in my head nearly 20 years later Beep Bop Bay Hey Hey
All of the songs in that special unironically slap
@@SharkieTheDork I still know so many of them word for word! It just makes me really happy.
"Nothing is forever and that's okay"... didn't think I'd be getting a dose of reality from this video, but here we are
This is exactly what I expected from this video
yo when he started singing "we just got a letter" i was singing along then he said oh it's another death threat I was laughing so hard 8:55
Steve has no idea that he was my best friend for so long. He still is 🥺
Same here I know exactly how even you feel that I loved & miss the old Steve from back in the days when Blues Clues was a great Kids Show 🥺😭😩❤️📺🐶🔵
Your monologue at the end about people changing and friends moving on hits deep with me. Thank you for that, you really worded that absolutely perfectly.
something like that happened to me very recently, and it was heart breaking, but in a weird way this video has helped me come to terms with it
FR literally been through that so it hit way to close to home
That part hit me really hard. I started college this past year and was worried I wouldn’t really meet anyone because I’m not very outgoing. Thankfully, I’m in marching band and had an opportunity to meet some amazing people, so I did make some great new friends. Unfortunately, the first person I started to bond with and thought that I would actually be good friends with was in an accident the night before a performance. When we heard the news the next day I was absolutely devastated. This video reminded me of him, and while it makes me sad, it lets me reflect on how lucky I was to know him.
Same. The community center I work at had 2 receptionists who were very sweet, very intelligent, and they made me feel better about my self when I was down. I usually don’t like making friends at workplaces if only because of connections with the workplaces exist. Specifically, I work for my hometown’s local govt. It’s a city govt job, it’s more shite than your typical local govt, over 80% of the employees are miserable, incompetent, or both. I still don’t like that certain employees (dept heads, city officials, etc.) know who I am as that guy whose parents are city employees.
But it was through working there that I discovered it wasn’t all bad. The 2 receptionists gave me a little bit of hope that things will get better.
And then, within a month of each other, they moved on with their lives by quitting their jobs at the center.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for them, wish the best and all, and hope they have a good life. But I miss them and miss having them there because they made me laugh in my dark times.
Things change. That doesn’t always mean they will be better, but things do change.
@@gavinyeet5821 I'm very sorry for your loss.

I was no longer watching the show by the time Steve left, so until I heard about the Twitter video I didn't know that they actually explained him leaving. I really appreciate that they respected the audience enough to give an explanation and devote an episode to saying goodbye, instead of pretending nothing had changed and the new guy was still Steve. Not only is it more honest, it's an early lesson that things change and nothing stays the same forever.
When you started to explain how a VHS tape works I immediately felt 10 years older
