The older I get the more frequently I almost cry over shit I watched when I was little 💀 in fact I am almost always on the brink of tears LMAO this made me feel better about that haha
Yeah this was everyone. My friends and I all had insane book’s I remember everything on my front and second page. We all left them over at my buddies in like 4th grade and for years I’d see them laying around like ten years after we left em they were still there. One day when I found out they were selling for hella bread again I asked my buddy if they were still there and his mom had finally decided to throw them away lol I was kinda heartbroken honestly. First page was charmander, charmeleon, charizard (I paid $25 for in 4th grade.) second row was dark charmander, dark charmeleon, dark charizard. Bottom row Dr Blaine’s charmander, dr Blaine’s charmeleon, and dr Blaine’s charizard ppl used to go crazy over my front page. On the back of that page or the second page whatever lol I had all the legendary birds holographic it was all crazy I coulda sold that book for quite a bit if it wasn’t gone. But yeah I played the game like once, but one day I came over to that same friends house because we were all there like everyday and my two buddies were playing a game with cards I never seen or heard of. They told me it was kinda like Pokémon but it’s a new show called Yugi-Oh.. we started playing and it was awesome we started playing so much never having seen the show myself lol but I was loving the game.
The story arc of this video is like the trading card equivalent of a teen movie where the girl spends most of the movie simping for the popular guy only to realise she should actually be with her nerdy best guy-friend who’s been in love with her all along.

What did I do with these cards? I immediately took them all out of their protection cases + binders.... and taped them all.... to my door...

I moved them around and re-taped them on the door so many times that they began to fall apart. due to this, my dad would then go on to throw them all out. i basically destroyed my family's future fortune in one day. i cannot tell u how many mint condition cards he had that are considered super rare and valuable. he had hundreds and kept them perfectly and i turned them into a pile of trash sent off to a landfill. don't give ur valuables to nine year olds
Kurtis, these video essays and experiments are honestly so entertaining and the hard work you put into them really shows! we appreciate the effort you put into these and it’s just pure gold every time
Wow, you guys actually liked this style? I guess this is the new style of RUclips videos, I've seen a lot of creators making these sorts of things these days but I find them quite boring and not as enjoyable as the comedy focused stuff where he is making lots of jokes non-stop about things that are already awkward and funny, this seemed to have a lot less of that and was also really long, so it was kind of tedious and boring for me. It is very interesting to see how people might actually be liking it, I wonder what the age difference is or what age groups tend to like this sort of thing. I come from a generation that might like more quickly paced stuff that has lots of great moments, each statement leading to the next joke and the next joke and providing a lot more entertainment in a lot less time. I've noticed even Netflix stuff and tv shows are getting long and boring and sort of serious too, its not to my taste at least, but very cool and interesting that there are some people (a lot apparently) where this is the thing they are really into. It sort of reminds me of boring podcasts I've heard even, where people are just talking about some technical thing or repeating a lot, I find it a pain really, and liked some of the older videos (even recent ones) which were shorter with a lot more jokes back to back. There were definitely jokes in here, but compared to some of the other videos, this seemed less funny as frequently as those. You wrote a nice comment though, he seemed to put a ton of work into this one for sure, but I wonder if he can actually manage to put in less work and end up less burned out with better results with one of the more comedy focused short commentary things rather than the documentary journey style types, that also cost him a ton of money in this case as well.
as a kpop photocard collector i can see a lot of similarities! it’s a physical collection of something you care really deeply about. the anticipation you feel opening an album to see your cards, it’s so fun. i’m glad to see other communities having the same/ similar experiences because it’s such a good time!
i was going to say the same ! i remember my friend pulling blue hour r-ver soobin and LOOSING her shit. he's her ult and that cards worth like $600-$3000 so we were both freaking out 😭
kurtis talking about that one digimon episode is literally me talking about that episode of spongebob where gary runs away from home and spongebob is trying to find him and there’s that scene where he’s just sitting on his bed crying while looking at a photo album of them both :(
I remember the day that my little brother came home in TEARS because our elementary school had banned Pokémon cards. There had apparently been a physical fight over a Charizard and the principal had decided that it had gone too far. It was a dark day.
it’s the reason you never bring an entire binder of Pokemon cards to school, you only bring one of those little pocket binders you can keep on you at all times
This is one of my favourite kurtis videos. Its comforting for some reason. I dont think it would be as comforting if he found his old collection and it was worth a million or something. Idk it feels real
our teachers told us we weren't allowed to trade pokemon cards in elementary school so we would go into these bushes and walk a few steps off the campus to trade them. We had a president, vice president, and treasurer of the club. we would all take votes to see who would get which position.
that's already way better than the student body in our school i never once understood what the presidents and vice presidents did in our school, no public hearings, idek if the school gave them anything to do or if they were just figureheads (i mean it would make sense, our school pres was literally a gay guy, what better to scream "hey look at me, im so progressive" without actually making any changes than that)
This video was literally oozing with authentic 90s nostalgia… and I loved every minute of it! I think I’m gonna binge watch the “I Love the 80s” and “I Love the 90s” MTV series this weekend too.
I actually was more excited about the beanie babies, I've pulled out my old boxes of them recently (I was literally obsessed with beanie babies, played with them constantly and took them to school, did drawings, made my own TV show with them, etc) and it was such an awesome feeling playing with them with my nieces like I used to as a kid, I let some of them have a few because I wanted them to experience the joy beanie babies gave me---I did keep a few that were really special though, so back of children!
do i know anything about pokemon? no. will i still watch and enjoy this whole video? yes. Kurtis’s deep dive videos are always so amazing and well thought out!!
I was just thinking about this. I don't know anything about Pokemon, nor have I ever been interested in it, but Kurtis's video was very entertaining, and not once did I feel excluded from the fun. He's very inclusive.
I was way more of a Digimon kid to. The storyline is so much better, the connections the kids have with their friends and Digimon is wholesome. They tackled so many mature topics to in a kid way.
It's their file extension. They're all .mon files. (In actuality, it's just a holdover from Tamagotchi. Every Tamagotchi name ends with "chi" and Digimon, being a spinoff, needed an equivalent.)
Hey Kurtis, hope you’re not feeling down by the “numbers”, we all see how much time and effort you put into your videos these last few months (in particular) so feel proud of that
@I Don’t Know Kurtis posted on his ig story that the view count for this video was down quite a bit compared to his other videos, Tess is just looking out for him no need to be rude
The comment about collecting is so true. I collect ceramic/porcelain dogs and it's always fun going out to an antique store or vintage market to look around and see what I can find.
literally its so nice to see how happy and excited Kurtis got during the digimon portion of the video. I hope he does more stuff that makes him that happy
yessssss i love watching other people get excited over things like this, especially when it’s something i’m into. i’m not all that into pokémon cards, i never was but i always thought they looked really cool, still never considered buying them though. but after i watched Ludwig and his friends open all of those pokémon boxes for that one week last year, i had felt so much joy watching them be happy over these awesome cards that i wanted to buy some cards myself. idk what it is but man, watching other people get excited over things they’re really passionate about makes me unbelievably happy.
"When was the last time you were so excited that you were fucking shaking?" Thank you so much Kurtis. This is now on my bucket list. I want something so good to happen in my life, that I start shaking. I want that level of happiness and contentment.
i collect anime figures and just anime merch in general. i have a few grails i really want but haven't been able to get. when i finally get them, ill experience that joy :'3 i cannot wait!
I'm trumatized now. I never got the cards because I didn't understand how the game worked and I was very left out. But to know now that almost no one else did either!!!! Now I wish I could go back to 8 years old and ask all of the "cool kids" how to play and expose their lying asses
Same! Lol I was mostly just addicted to he rush of opening the packs. I was buying them around year 2000 or so. I had a binder of all the best ones sitting in the closet of my room at my mom’s house for probably 15 years after I stopped collecting. I think 5 or 6 years ago I got rid of them somehow. Either have them to a thrift store or straight into the trash idk lol I also never bought bitcoin. Or Dogecoin 😭
I loved what you had to say about collecting things. I collect vintage Disney and looney toons watches and the joy I feel at having a physical collection that I can see and touch and that I can actively wear can't be beat
I love Pokémon and have collected a decent amount through my life. Sadly I don’t have older cards, mainly because I wasn’t born then, but It’d be awesome to find old cards in garage/yard sales
I would absolutely watch a series of you opening all the packages you bought, please make videos doing that. I didn't even watch digimon but it was soooo thrilling seeing you excited and finding cool cards
I think it's genuinely so cool how excited you were about the Digimon cards compared to the Pokemon cards. Obviously both are rad!!! But I think the fact that you had a change of heart and decided to go after something you really love was so cool to watch!
first we have "so, surface leather- *HUH?* surface level-" now we have "but since im such a fan of, like, physibal- *HUH?* since im such a fan of physical-" the saga continues, what will it be next?
Watching youtube for really the first time since having a kiddo. Turned it on while trying to get him to bed, he just turned 6 months and was FIGHTING me on going to sleep, so I gave in and got up with him. He is absolutely LOVING you. Yelling at the TV laughing, and talking to you ☠️🩵
I work at target and it’s beyond terrifying how many people line up on Thursday mornings trying to buy cards, to the point where our “safety became a concern”
I used to work at a homegoods store, women would literally line up and throw hands for mass produced rae dunn pottery. I'm pretty sure there's videos all over tiktok and youtube about it, it's like a cult lol. Shoutout to retail employees.
Kurtis, don't feel bad for your 5 year old self who did not buy the cards.. I grew up so religious that my parents told me pokemon are from the devil so I got hundreds of cards from a friend and burned them all.. and I believed I did a good deed. Yeah.
i love your normal videos but these video essays ones are definitely my favorite its so much fun watching you talk ab something your so passionate about
I sold my entire collection (probably around 300 or so cards, lots of rare ones) at a yard sale for 25 bucks. Plus they were all in a binder protected. Whoever bought it… congrats on your mansion
My brothers and I still have our cards binders, but my older brother had a binder filled with his first and rarest cards that got lost. Possibly a million bucks lost to the ether 😔
I didn't have any 1st edition cards but was very thankful I even got cards as a kid and still remember the Christmas my mom bought me official branded binders for my cards. I still have them as she understood what they meant to me and she's no longer here now so even if the cards somehow became worth 1mil+ I don't feel I could sell them.
@@ThexDynastxQueen don’t worry all of this kids are over exaggerating. Cards that are some are even 1$ to 2$ plus say you got a charzaird from base set. And you list it on eBay you gotta find someone crazy enough to want it
I'm in a similar boat. Probably less cards, not as many in good condition, and not as many rare ones. So they aren't enjoying a mansion, maybe a used Prius. Congrats.
i just realized me collecting photocards fills that joy pokemon cards do for others cos i should not be that excited pulling out a kpop singer and yet here we are
In perfect condition with tag attached, on average a Beanie Baby sells for $5 USD today 2021. The list price is not the sell price. People can list something very high but that doesn't mean it sells for that much on average. Ik I got very sad about this when I was going to sell my Beanie Babies.
When Kurtis started talking about being so excited you start shaking, it sparked a fun little trip down memory lane. I shiny hunt quite a lot in my spare time, and while I know it isn't physical, like cards, I still got super stoked when I found my first soft reset shiny, a beautiful Charmander in Leaf Green, and I shook so damn hard. Best feeling ever to see that little yellow lizard with the star and bright blue border. I've been shamed out of getting too excited when I find shinies nowadays, but I'll never forget finding that Charmander, man.
Kurtis making a whole Pokemon video just to realize that's not where his heart is at is like top Disney straight to TV movie plotline and I am living for it
My after school program banned pokemon cards for no reason so pretty much everyone pretend we were illegally gambling. I think the reason was because people kept on stealing the cards
I remember home-room in 4th grade when the kids who traded cards would all wait until the teacher stepped out of the room for something, and instantly maybe 6 or 7 extra large 3-ring binders would come flying out of backpacks and slam onto desks, everyone else pulling out what they had to trade from their pockets or card cases. They were so efficient at not getting caught that the teacher could have stepped right outside, and they had 3 or 4 kids in the room that acted as the lookouts at all times, and everyone else would ninja their way across the room to nab trades really quickly. Like, _almost the entire class._ And then one day our teacher caught us, and instead of busting us she revealed she was a fan too and brought us over to her desk to show us the Eevee card she had taped on her monitor, since it was her favorite one because of the many evolutions. Mrs. Peters, one of the kindest and most gentle teachers I ever had in my entire scholastic career. If I could have just had her as my teacher for the rest of my life, I probably would have done a whole lot better and had a few honors degrees by now.
Reminds me of my 3rd Grade Teacher, she had a HUGE collection of cards in boxes and she'd let us trade and play Pokemon during recess. I remember having this rivalry with this one boy over who got to trade with her first and it was a blast. I think she gave both of us a little blind bag with Pokemon cards at the end of the year when we were going on to 4th. She was a great teacher and actually helped me figure out that I was nearsighted so I could get my glasses, so thanks Mrs. Jones, wherever you are.
For some reason I hope that beanie babies are not worth money one day because I loved them all and played with them so much as a kid (doing what they were intended for) that I don't have any in decent condition and would be depressed knowing if I hadn't enjoyed them in my childhood and just kept them in a plastic box I could make money off of them today.
My partner collects magic cards and I always thought it was a little silly, but I’ve never told him. I’m so glad I saw this video, because it gives me a newfound appreciation for his hobby. It makes him so happy and even if I don’t see the value in it, it brings value to his life and I’m glad he has something that brings him joy. Thanks Kurtis, another banger.
He’s an adult and you don’t think he can handle knowing you find it silly? I mean you don’t have to bully him but I def tell my boyfriends if they’re doing something I find stupid. I mean sure they can keep doing it, but no banter is odd to me. I feel like it’s weird to fake liking every aspect of ur partner.
7:58 My mom and I love pokeon puzzle league and have been playing it almost every day for several years. We make jokes and references about it all the time, mostly Misty's "good battle!!" I have never been catered to in such a specific way for a joke before
I work part time for a lady that sells a lot of things on EBay - everything from collectibles to antiques! When I’m pricing things, she always tells me to turn the “sold” filter on. That way you can see how much it actually sells for and not what some butt hole is wanting for the item!
Yeah! When he was looking at the prices on eBay I was thinking about how anyone can list something for any price they want on there- whether someone is actually willing to pay that price is the kicker
The year was 2010, me and some friends lived together and had to move suddenly so we had to put things into a storage unit. Gave said friends $80 toward the store unit for the next month. Next month they tell me the storage unit was auctioned off. My 2, TWO binders of mint pokemon cards were in there 💀 I will never not be bitter
@@coolandgood1010 no i’m 18, i just don’t like it. i know ab it. my cousin loves it and i’ve been surrounded by it my whole life, i just couldn’t get into it. has nothing to do w/ age
@@thatssoari3533 i think 18 is actually kinda young in this context, considering many pokemon fans grew up playing the gameboy and DS games, as well as collecting/trading cards, and those things have pretty much been fazed out by newer consoles and games, and even social media. like it's still a thing, but not as culturally relevant now. i have a little cousin that watches the pokemon series, but doesn't know about the games and cards, so the franchise just isn't as important in his life.
@@dog771 i had a DS, still do, and a gameboy. as i said my cousin loved it and all of his parties were around it, and i know almost everything ab the franchise. i just wasn’t into it. your right, 18 is young, but it depends on the view. to a 14 year old it isn’t, to a 27 year old it is. so it’s just perspective!
I remember loving Pokemon as a kid, and being a Canadian my mom would take trips to Florida every once in a while and one time she came home and surprised me with Pokemon Cards, but when I opened them they were all in Spanish. She felt so bad but I told her they were super cool and I still have them to this day. My favourite one is my Spanish Raichu :)
My dad would always buy me and my sister these weird Spice Girl lollipops.. Dont know if anyone else ever had one but it was so fun n I still remember the taste. Nostalgia baby :'(
I never had a collection of my own, but I loved using one of my sibling’s decks to play as a kid. It’s a fun game, and kinda a shame that people don’t actually play it now in fear of ruining the cards
I have to turn my brain off to this stuff because it physically hurts me. When I was a kid my family collected the cards and had complete sets of all the original 1st edition and shadowless cards, multiple languages, etc. Sold em all in 2011 to pay for my college. Today, my degree gets me nowhere and I realize I literally could’ve been a millionaire if I held onto them…….
I have that banned Little Mermaid cover but it’s on a DVD and they also misspelled Jodi’s name so it says “Jodo Benson” and it’s my favourite thing ever
I sold my MTG collection back in like 2008 for $7k (could have probably gotten a lot more if I took my time with it), and while I did need the money at the time, I really regret it. I'd love to go through them all again and again or even keep playing them. I can see why people like me, if they have a ton of cash laying around, might spend a good amount of it to recreate that kind of collection.
my grandma has one of the first 9 beanie babies. it's name is pinchers. i don't know how much it's worth or anything because it's not printed as "punchers" - an error that makes other beanie baby lobsters expensive
Angelmon and angelwoman are two of the many reasons I grew up thinking everyone was bisexual because I thought it was normal to find both equally attractive lol
Yo angelmon was my gay awakening. I use to imagine him picking me up to put on his shoulder and I would get so confused cause it made me feel weird lollllllllllll
When we bought our house there was a shoebox left behind in a closet that had about 15 or pokemon cards in it. One of them was a red cheek Pikachu in pretty good condition, really fun find! My bf also found a red cheek Pikachu at a card shop some 12yrs ago, snatched that sucker up for like 10 cents. Man it's always exciting finding a gem in the rough.
fun fact: i googled angemon right after you mentioned him. you’re right, the fan art did not disappoint. in fact there’s a angewomon too??? she too was hot as fuck. didn’t get to see angemon’s pocket monster though, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you see it.
kurtis talking about the kid with his collar undone and his tie loose sitting and crying unlocked a memory of mine where my friend beat me in a battle and i had to give her a pikachu card i really liked and i started crying because i didnt want to and so she let me just keep it.
This is literally one of my favorite Kurtis videos that I've seen in a while. Literally couldn't stop laughing. The pain when he spiraled and ended up buying 6 boxes instead of one took me out lmaoo.
It was legit like that and Christian evangelicals had another Satanic panic over Pokemon especially evolution. Not the legal dog fighting part...just fictional animals growing into slightly different form of the same animal like you know dog breeds.

As an adult I'm really glad to know it was actually pretty common to have a ton of Pokemon cards and have zero idea how the actual card game worked.
I've only played the actual card game once 😂
I like collecting the holographic cards cuz they're super shiny and make the Pokemon look even more cool 😂😂
Because the card game is ass
I had naruto cards, Pokémon, Digimon, yu-gi-oh and various other cards. Never learned but still had fun
Yeah this was everyone. My friends and I all had insane book’s I remember everything on my front and second page. We all left them over at my buddies in like 4th grade and for years I’d see them laying around like ten years after we left em they were still there. One day when I found out they were selling for hella bread again I asked my buddy if they were still there and his mom had finally decided to throw them away lol I was kinda heartbroken honestly. First page was charmander, charmeleon, charizard (I paid $25 for in 4th grade.) second row was dark charmander, dark charmeleon, dark charizard. Bottom row Dr Blaine’s charmander, dr Blaine’s charmeleon, and dr Blaine’s charizard ppl used to go crazy over my front page. On the back of that page or the second page whatever lol I had all the legendary birds holographic it was all crazy I coulda sold that book for quite a bit if it wasn’t gone. But yeah I played the game like once, but one day I came over to that same friends house because we were all there like everyday and my two buddies were playing a game with cards I never seen or heard of. They told me it was kinda like Pokémon but it’s a new show called Yugi-Oh.. we started playing and it was awesome we started playing so much never having seen the show myself lol but I was loving the game.

This is
Exactly right

when i was nine going on ten, my older brother was moving out and left me his entire collection of pokemon cards. he was a super avid collector and had the original first packs from japan in mint condition as well as hundreds and hundreds of super rare US pokemon cards all in perfect condition- wrapped individually in plastic and placed into binders that were all organized by rarity.
What did I do with these cards?
I immediately took them all out of their protection cases + binders.... and taped them all.... to my door...
I wanted to impress my two entire friends I guess??? so when they'd come over they'd see pokemon cards covering both sides of my door?? even tho one of these friends didnt even like pokemon??? after filling up my door, i still had so many binders of cards that i'd end up hanging them all over my room. I moved them around and re-taped them on the door so many times that they began to fall apart. due to this, my dad would then go on to throw them all out.
i basically destroyed my family's future fortune in one day. i cannot tell u how many mint condition cards he had that are considered super rare and valuable. he had hundreds and kept them perfectly and i turned them into a pile of trash sent off to a landfill.
don't give ur valuables to nine year olds
i would DIE omfgm
this comment just killed me. call my family, they need to start making funeral arrangements.
You know how you’re mad at yourself for that? Yeah, I’m just as mad
I- this is so sad:") omg
As someone who kept many old pokemon cards of my own as I grew up, this comment hurt me deeply
“I almost started crying because i was talking about a Digimon episode.”

OH NOOOOOO!!! Most people agree that my vids are the worst on RUclips. I agree to disagree. Please agree to disagree with the haters, dear ian
Honestly, who wouldn't when you relate to those kids
Same tho
I started tearing up just listening to him describe it, and I've never even seen the show.
honestly tho it's a mood - Digimon fucking SLAPS and it deserves all of the tears n.n
That photo of Curtis in front of the Pokémon car with the backstreet boys T-shirt is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen.
Bruh Kurtis' message about collecting things was so touching it almost made me feel like matt in that one digimon episode
Kurtis, these video essays and experiments are honestly so entertaining and the hard work you put into them really shows! we appreciate the effort you put into these and it’s just pure gold every time
TRUEEEEE
our boy Kurtis works so hard and kicks himself too hard for it. we love you bro

I've noticed even Netflix stuff and tv shows are getting long and boring and sort of serious too, its not to my taste at least, but very cool and interesting that there are some people (a lot apparently) where this is the thing they are really into. It sort of reminds me of boring podcasts I've heard even, where people are just talking about some technical thing or repeating a lot, I find it a pain really, and liked some of the older videos (even recent ones) which were shorter with a lot more jokes back to back. There were definitely jokes in here, but compared to some of the other videos, this seemed less funny as frequently as those.
You wrote a nice comment though, he seemed to put a ton of work into this one for sure, but I wonder if he can actually manage to put in less work and end up less burned out with better results with one of the more comedy focused short commentary things rather than the documentary journey style types, that also cost him a ton of money in this case as well.
i agree!!
@@aFoxyFox. are you good bro 😭
Shout out to Jenna's dad and Kurtis's mom- without you guys, this potential hype would have never been possible.
as a kpop photocard collector i can see a lot of similarities! it’s a physical collection of something you care really deeply about. the anticipation you feel opening an album to see your cards, it’s so fun. i’m glad to see other communities having the same/ similar experiences because it’s such a good time!

I remember the day that my little brother came home in TEARS because our elementary school had banned Pokémon cards. There had apparently been a physical fight over a Charizard and the principal had decided that it had gone too far. It was a dark day.
for my school some kid's entire binder got stolen and they got banned after that
it’s the reason you never bring an entire binder of Pokemon cards to school, you only bring one of those little pocket binders you can keep on you at all times
my elementary school banned them too cuz they wanted the kids to get physical activity instead of sitting trading cards LMAO
My primary school in aus also banned cards and card trading. It was a dark day :’(
mine had banned them for the entire week except for Fridays during second recess because 'kids weren't getting active enough during recess'
I know nothing about Pokémon, Digimon, or collecting cards in general, but I’m so invested in seeing you open the rest of the packs 👀
This is one of my favourite kurtis videos. Its comforting for some reason. I dont think it would be as comforting if he found his old collection and it was worth a million or something. Idk it feels real
I would absolutely watch a series of Kurtis rewatching Digimon episodes and just crying.
Man imagine him getting to Tamers, he'd be bawling from how depressing that show gets.
Except it is formatted like shia lebouffs streams
I WOULD SERIOUSLY BE DOWN FOR THIS
I don't want this, I NEED this
our teachers told us we weren't allowed to trade pokemon cards in elementary school so we would go into these bushes and walk a few steps off the campus to trade them. We had a president, vice president, and treasurer of the club. we would all take votes to see who would get which position.
and so true democracy was found in the anti-authoritarian
that's already way better than the student body in our school i never once understood what the presidents and vice presidents did in our school, no public hearings, idek if the school gave them anything to do or if they were just figureheads (i mean it would make sense, our school pres was literally a gay guy, what better to scream "hey look at me, im so progressive" without actually making any changes than that)
lol so cute u will never forget that
democracy wins again
one time at lunch in 5th grade our lunch lady was like "NO MORE POKEMAN CARDS IN SCHOOL" 😂we all joked about it with her up until we graduated
finding a loose stack of pokemon cards under a bunch of beanie babies is a quintessential 90s baby storage unit find
This video was literally oozing with authentic 90s nostalgia… and I loved every minute of it! I think I’m gonna binge watch the “I Love the 80s” and “I Love the 90s” MTV series this weekend too.
I actually was more excited about the beanie babies, I've pulled out my old boxes of them recently (I was literally obsessed with beanie babies, played with them constantly and took them to school, did drawings, made my own TV show with them, etc) and it was such an awesome feeling playing with them with my nieces like I used to as a kid, I let some of them have a few because I wanted them to experience the joy beanie babies gave me---I did keep a few that were really special though, so back of children!
do i know anything about pokemon? no. will i still watch and enjoy this whole video? yes. Kurtis’s deep dive videos are always so amazing and well thought out!!
right
I was just thinking about this. I don't know anything about Pokemon, nor have I ever been interested in it, but Kurtis's video was very entertaining, and not once did I feel excluded from the fun. He's very inclusive.
Nice name
when you’re used to listening to Kurtis’ podcast his videos feel like speedruns

I was way more of a Digimon kid to. The storyline is so much better, the connections the kids have with their friends and Digimon is wholesome. They tackled so many mature topics to in a kid way.
The fact that every monster in Digimon ended with "mon" is hilarious
Damn, you really read between the line on that meat card.
I think it’s supposed to be like a file name. They are digital monsters after all
It's their file extension. They're all .mon files.
(In actuality, it's just a holdover from Tamagotchi. Every Tamagotchi name ends with "chi" and Digimon, being a spinoff, needed an equivalent.)

literally its so nice to see how happy and excited Kurtis got during the digimon portion of the video. I hope he does more stuff that makes him that happy
omggg yes
yessssss i love watching other people get excited over things like this, especially when it’s something i’m into. i’m not all that into pokémon cards, i never was but i always thought they looked really cool, still never considered buying them though. but after i watched Ludwig and his friends open all of those pokémon boxes for that one week last year, i had felt so much joy watching them be happy over these awesome cards that i wanted to buy some cards myself. idk what it is but man, watching other people get excited over things they’re really passionate about makes me unbelievably happy.
I WAS TOO DIGIMON IS AWEOSMEJFKEKOD
"When was the last time you were so excited that you were fucking shaking?"
Thank you so much Kurtis. This is now on my bucket list. I want something so good to happen in my life, that I start shaking. I want that level of happiness and contentment.

100% had the same experience with the cards where EVERYONE was fanatical about getting the cards but NO ONE actually knew how to play the game lol
i feel like i was the only one out of my group who traded the cards who actually knew how to play it lmao
I'm trumatized now. I never got the cards because I didn't understand how the game worked and I was very left out. But to know now that almost no one else did either!!!! Now I wish I could go back to 8 years old and ask all of the "cool kids" how to play and expose their lying asses
Same! Lol I was mostly just addicted to he rush of opening the packs. I was buying them around year 2000 or so. I had a binder of all the best ones sitting in the closet of my room at my mom’s house for probably 15 years after I stopped collecting. I think 5 or 6 years ago I got rid of them somehow. Either have them to a thrift store or straight into the trash idk lol
I also never bought bitcoin. Or Dogecoin 😭
EXACTLYYYYY
I loved what you had to say about collecting things. I collect vintage Disney and looney toons watches and the joy I feel at having a physical collection that I can see and touch and that I can actively wear can't be beat

Exactly! I found that so frustrating
I saw a copy of new super mario bros wii on ebay and they were trying to sell it for 4000$
I would absolutely watch a series of you opening all the packages you bought, please make videos doing that. I didn't even watch digimon but it was soooo thrilling seeing you excited and finding cool cards
I think it's genuinely so cool how excited you were about the Digimon cards compared to the Pokemon cards. Obviously both are rad!!! But I think the fact that you had a change of heart and decided to go after something you really love was so cool to watch!
I've been saying "when you're hot, you're hot" for YEARS and completely forgot where it came from.

Kurtis, don't feel bad for your 5 year old self who did not buy the cards.. I grew up so religious that my parents told me pokemon are from the devil so I got hundreds of cards from a friend and burned them all.. and I believed I did a good deed. Yeah.

I'm only halfway through but omg I relate so hard to being pissed about never being able to find my little book of childhood Pokemon cards 😩
I sold my entire collection (probably around 300 or so cards, lots of rare ones) at a yard sale for 25 bucks. Plus they were all in a binder protected. Whoever bought it… congrats on your mansion
My brothers and I still have our cards binders, but my older brother had a binder filled with his first and rarest cards that got lost. Possibly a million bucks lost to the ether 😔
I didn't have any 1st edition cards but was very thankful I even got cards as a kid and still remember the Christmas my mom bought me official branded binders for my cards.
I still have them as she understood what they meant to me and she's no longer here now so even if the cards somehow became worth 1mil+ I don't feel I could sell them.
@@ThexDynastxQueen don’t worry all of this kids are over exaggerating. Cards that are some are even 1$ to 2$ plus say you got a charzaird from base set. And you list it on eBay you gotta find someone crazy enough to want it
Unlucky man. I sold a 200ish basic common cards and one or two semi expensive EX for £150 last year, way more than they’re actually worth
I'm in a similar boat. Probably less cards, not as many in good condition, and not as many rare ones. So they aren't enjoying a mansion, maybe a used Prius. Congrats.
i just realized me collecting photocards fills that joy pokemon cards do for others cos i should not be that excited pulling out a kpop singer and yet here we are
Yes, yes you should get that excited! ESPECIALLY if it's your bias girl 😊😊

It's crazy how invested humans are in trading items but yea, I had the same thought when kurtis was talking about that shaking-excited feeling

Yeah I didn’t get the pokemon card thing till I realized that i FREAK OUT when i get my favorite photocards
I love how he skipped over the beanie babies when those r prolly worth so much 😭

Wait, is there a demand for Beanie Babies? Because my mom has a massive bin full of them in her garage.
@@antigraphophobic there isn't a huge demand like people thought however there are collectors out there! (me 👀)
i had such a sick beanie baby collection, more than 50 of them, and my mom threw them all out. i was 8.
In perfect condition with tag attached, on average a Beanie Baby sells for $5 USD today 2021. The list price is not the sell price. People can list something very high but that doesn't mean it sells for that much on average.
Ik I got very sad about this when I was going to sell my Beanie Babies.
When Kurtis started talking about being so excited you start shaking, it sparked a fun little trip down memory lane. I shiny hunt quite a lot in my spare time, and while I know it isn't physical, like cards, I still got super stoked when I found my first soft reset shiny, a beautiful Charmander in Leaf Green, and I shook so damn hard. Best feeling ever to see that little yellow lizard with the star and bright blue border. I've been shamed out of getting too excited when I find shinies nowadays, but I'll never forget finding that Charmander, man.
Kurtis making a whole Pokemon video just to realize that's not where his heart is at is like top Disney straight to TV movie plotline and I am living for it
yes omg it was beautiful
My school banned Pokémon cards because it was a form of “child gambling”
mine banned it because the battles were violent so we had to try to do it without getting noticed 😭
@@heejinscementbrownies1385 throwing cards on cards are violent, lmao
My after school program banned pokemon cards for no reason so pretty much everyone pretend we were illegally gambling. I think the reason was because people kept on stealing the cards
i mean it can be gambling if you try hard enough
Same...kids would trade and cry bc they found out later it was actually rare...
I remember home-room in 4th grade when the kids who traded cards would all wait until the teacher stepped out of the room for something, and instantly maybe 6 or 7 extra large 3-ring binders would come flying out of backpacks and slam onto desks, everyone else pulling out what they had to trade from their pockets or card cases. They were so efficient at not getting caught that the teacher could have stepped right outside, and they had 3 or 4 kids in the room that acted as the lookouts at all times, and everyone else would ninja their way across the room to nab trades really quickly. Like, _almost the entire class._
And then one day our teacher caught us, and instead of busting us she revealed she was a fan too and brought us over to her desk to show us the Eevee card she had taped on her monitor, since it was her favorite one because of the many evolutions. Mrs. Peters, one of the kindest and most gentle teachers I ever had in my entire scholastic career. If I could have just had her as my teacher for the rest of my life, I probably would have done a whole lot better and had a few honors degrees by now.
When you said that she was a fan too I was expecting her to have a bunch of binders full of Pokémon cards behind her desk
Reminds me of my 3rd Grade Teacher, she had a HUGE collection of cards in boxes and she'd let us trade and play Pokemon during recess. I remember having this rivalry with this one boy over who got to trade with her first and it was a blast. I think she gave both of us a little blind bag with Pokemon cards at the end of the year when we were going on to 4th. She was a great teacher and actually helped me figure out that I was nearsighted so I could get my glasses, so thanks Mrs. Jones, wherever you are.

Yeah, I always thought that his humor was kinda cringey and way too offbeat for my taste. But this video made me see his channel in a new light.
When we bought our house there was a shoebox left behind in a closet that had about 15 or pokemon cards in it. One of them was a red cheek Pikachu in pretty good condition, really fun find! My bf also found a red cheek Pikachu at a card shop some 12yrs ago, snatched that sucker up for like 10 cents. Man it's always exciting finding a gem in the rough.
fun fact: i googled angemon right after you mentioned him. you’re right, the fan art did not disappoint. in fact there’s a angewomon too??? she too was hot as fuck. didn’t get to see angemon’s pocket monster though, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you see it.

This is literally one of my favorite Kurtis videos that I've seen in a while. Literally couldn't stop laughing. The pain when he spiraled and ended up buying 6 boxes instead of one took me out lmaoo.
Lmao same
Those news people were talking about Pokémon as though it’s telling their kids to do drugs and break the law
ikr it was so weird
The ‘psychiatrist’ was too much
@@cheekynandosss581 it killed me lol
It was legit like that and Christian evangelicals had another Satanic panic over Pokemon especially evolution. Not the legal dog fighting part...just fictional animals growing into slightly different form of the same animal like you know dog breeds.
I don’t even collect Pokémon cards or even remotely have interest in them but i guess I have to watch every video you make, cant back out now !
@YTr cretor dude stop
That was my exact thought too haha
this is my favorite of your videos i love it so so much i love seeing people so passionate about their interests its so good
