Trying the Most Popular Toys from the Early 2000's

I'm almost 30 years old now. Back in 1996, I came out of my mother's womb and what preceded was my childhood. Today, we have a bounty in front of me. I'm so excited right now. We have 20? 15 to 20-ish? Of the most popular toys most most pop most popular the most popular toys from the 90s and early 2000s. I'm so excited. The task was thus, find me the toys that I wanted so badly in my childhood that I would see on TV and bring them to me for my greedy little hands. I feel I was robbed of a childhood. So now, I'll have one here today. Let's get to it. I love you. >> [laughter] >> Explosion! I have a knife. Let's see. First one up. I don't know what any Ooh, a gift bag for little old me. I don't know what any of these are. This is all a surprise to my complicated brain. I'm excited to see what we have. I'm just going to dump these suckers out. >> [laughter] >> Get them out of this prison. >> [laughter] >> Oh my god, if you don't know what these [ __ ] things are. These are little jumping beans. [music] Tiger Bean. These are Mighty Beans. That's right. Mighty Beans. Oh. >> [music] >> Are Are is there something inside of these? We have to find out. But these were so much fun. You just kind of Were they so much fun? Yes. And they would warble. These aren't as fun as I remember them being >> [laughter] >> Come on, this way. >> [laughter] >> This guy's British. This is Punk Monkey Bean. This one's a cool dragon. This is T-Rex Oh, it's a T-Rex. There's Sumo Bean. He's got little titties. Zoom in on those little titties. Well, these aren't as fun as I remember them. But that's okay. But you know what's not okay? Is my curiosity not being fed. Shark Bean, you will go under the knife. I want to find out what is inside of you. You stay here. Do I have like a like a something sinister? >> Hammer. >> I'll be back. No, don't show my garage. It's [laughter] bad. It's bad. It's so bad. Mhm. Mighty Bean. Mhm. Mighty Mighty Bean. She's a squirter. Can you see her? I got it. Aw. All it is is just a little metal ball. All right, next one. That was a pleasant surprise. I'm very excited for all of these because Aw. It's Asbestis. >> What does Asbestis look like? Is it like that? >> Little tiny needles in your lungs. >> Mhm. [snorts] Invisible. >> [music] >> It's more Mighty Beans inside. 100 plus beans. Play cool game, see inside. Mighty Beans. What do you mean 100 beans? >> That is original packaging. Uh never mind. >> [laughter] >> Original packaging? My ass. >> Oh. They have cool tricks on the back. The Bean Dazzler. This is the toughest trick of all. Hold your favorite bean upright in your hand and let it flip down your forearm. When it reaches your inner elbow, snap your arm out straight and send the bean flying into the air and try and catch it again. It's gone from my [ __ ] god. It's not worth it. >> When I was a child in the early 2000s and I skimmed my knee or I was open-mouth coughing in right into my mother's mouth, [laughter] she would just take me to the doctor and I didn't really have to deal with it. But now I am an adult and so if I'm sick and I need to get something done, I have to figure out the doctor myself, which can be such a pain. >> [laughter] >> It's not fun. I I hate figuring out the doctor. But with Zocdoc, they make it so so so easy. Zocdoc not only has over 150,000 providers, but they also let you search doctors in your area and compare them. So then you don't have to call the doctor's office, set up an appointment just to figure out that you actually don't like this doctor or they don't actually specialize in the thing that you specifically need. And if you want to hear from real people, that's a hard thing to do traditionally, but with Zocdoc, they actually have patient reviews of the doctors. So you can scroll through those and see if this doctor is going to be a good fit for you. Honestly though, I think my favorite thing about them in a world filled with paid things and subscription fees and all that stuff, Zocdoc is free. They're literally just there to help you make going to the doctor less stressful. So if you want to take your health more seriously and stop open-mouth coughing into people's faces, you can go in the description down below or to ZOCDOC.com/EthanNester. That's Zocdoc.com/EthanNester. Stop open-mouth coughing directly into strangers' [music] faces. Figure it out. And figure it out with Zocdoc. Next package. This one's from the United States Postal Service. Something from eBay. So, many, a majority of these had to be bought on eBay. >> A lot of these are originals, uh, but some of them are still in production and were available still for purchase. >> Me thinks it's a book. And if it's one of the books that I'm excited about, I'm going to leap and jump because I think that what could be in side here today is a collection of books that I always wanted. I saw these books on the television, and I was a big animal boy. And I think that mayhaps these could be zoo books. >> Now your child can visit steamy jungles, grassy plains, and the dark depths of the oceans to meet and learn surprising facts about the magnificent animals that live there, all through the captivating, colorful pages of ZooBooks, the publication especially created for young readers. >> Ostriches and other rarities, sharing the world with animals, birds of prey, gorillas, bears, sea otters, nocturnal animals, cheetahs, alligators and crocodiles, dinosaurs, orangutans. Where is 1994? Right right down there. Oh my god, I wanted the ZooBooks. Is this ostriches and other ratites? [music] I don't even know what that is. Maybe they'll tell me in the book. Not all birds can fly. One such group called ratites [music] include ostriches, rheas, rees, emus, cassowaries, and kiwis. Scientists think that the ancestors of ratites took the place of the dinosaurs when the dinosaurs died out. This is so cool. >> [laughter] >> She looks like a raw cat. Slay, mama. This is so sick. This is all I wanted. I wanted these books so bad. Look at this. Doesn't it bring you back to when the world was a better place? Clinton? Was he 1990 1994? No fun. Some products that make life more convenient for us, like spray cans and Styrofoam food containers, give off C8 CFCs that eat up the ozone. Every molecule of CFC releases chlorine atoms, each of which can destroy 100,000 molecules of ozone. What they didn't talk about that's also killing the planet is the app that makes Jake Paul gay. >> [laughter] >> This is special. I'm so excited to look at this more. Let's do this big guy right here. On the corner, this says Hasbro. Is it actually or is it cap, bro? >> [laughter] >> Beyblade X >> [music] >> Beyblades were so much fun. Yes, I forgot that you had to make them. You have to put them You got to put them together. Okay. This This Put them all like this. Yes. Yes. yes, yes, yes. I'm remembering. >> [laughter] >> Oh, this is so exciting. This should be a drinking game. Not for children. >> [laughter] >> Sam, you put that down for one moment. You put that down for one moment. >> I use the dome. >> Oh, like this? Oh, this I thought this was just a part of the packaging. >> You ready to let it rip? >> 3 2 1 >> Yeah! Yeah! Come on! Come on! I don't remember what color I was. Was I I was pink? I You were pink. >> Come on. >> The girl color. >> [laughter] >> Yeah! Boys rule! All right. That was fun. Also, viewers at home, don't worry. I'm not going to throw all this stuff away. I'll donate the toys to Sam. You can take all this all this home. Listen, we're losing light. We have to go faster. Inshallah, I will find my favorite toy. What is this? No way. This is the robot dog. [ __ ] Clanker dog. Poo-Chi, the interactive puppy. Spencer! Spencer! What are you doing? Come here. You want a treat? You want a treat? Come meet your new sister. Oh, his tail doesn't have a tail anymore. Did it have a tail before? Yeah, it had a tail before. It doesn't have a tail anymore. Oh, wait. No, no, no. It's right here. Oh, it did have a tail. It just fell off. Think and what is this? Tail? Penis? >> Yes. Bring my boy to life. >> Spencer! New cousin. New cousin just dropped. Holiday Poo-Chis. Sit. Lie down. Now just sleeping. Poo-Chi is a puppy. Needs sleep like a real puppy. Does it walk? What's this about? Look at him. It's kind of a shitty toy. >> [laughter] >> It just kind of sucks. Oh, now here's the bad thing. There's no off switch on this for sure. You you just have to simply take out the batteries. I know it. I know [music] you do. I'm so sorry. I have to use the >> [laughter] >> ice. Don't worry, Booji. This won't hurt a bit. Goodbye, my friend. Cue the scene from Marley and Me. >> You're a great dog. >> Dude, hands down to death. Brought to life after 30 years. >> [laughter] >> 5 minutes. >> Only >> Taken offline again. >> Okay, next one. We've got everyone's favorite toy. Distilled water. That's so cool. I think. Now. >> Killer, dude. High score. >> Without skipping ahead, tell me in the comments section what this is and if you were good at it. I'd like to think that I was pretty good at it. And I'm pumped that it already has batteries in it. Welcome to the best game. I'll probably keep this. >> Hey, you >> Oh, it's in rough shape. This thing has been played. Oh, baby, this has been played. This is [music] Bop It. >> [laughter] [cough] >> [ __ ] I don't remember that we're doing Hold on, we're doing the ex- >> [screaming] >> [ __ ] I don't remember what the things are. It's too long. [ __ ] this is twist. >> Hey, you win. Not. >> You got [laughter] me. >> Flick it. >> [ __ ] it's so fast. >> [laughter] >> I've forgotten everything. >> Spin it. >> What? >> Oh, boy. Pull it. >> This is [ __ ] the >> Bop it. Flick it. >> I I think I can't bop it on this side. I think it might be [ __ ] I think it might be [ __ ] because it's damaged on this side. It's I- it's pre-bopped. >> Flick it. >> See, I I think it's I think it's goofed. If you can't bop it on this side, then Bop It is meant to be bopped on both sides. >> [applause] >> That explosion happened in the city of Hayward, which is about 40 mi southeast of San Francisco. It's got a population of more than 160,000 people. This is what we know so far. The explosion happened just before 10:00 a.m. >> Spin it. Pull it. Bop it. Spin it. Bop it. >> I bopped it. >> [sighs and gasps] [snorts] >> I had no clue what was in the box that I pulled. This is something that I had never tried before as a child, but something I had seen on television plenty of times. >> It's here. It's wild. It's sweeping the nation. It's >> Fushigi! >> [music] >> You can make Fushigi defy gravity and appear to float in midair with maneuvers like the prayer cross, the enigma, levitation, and so many more. >> Anyone can Fush can Fushigi. >> [laughter] >> Does it look like something? >> [laughter] >> Does it have instructions or anything? >> Oh, and it glows in the dark. There's a free DVD inside. Don't No, there's not. They took out the DVD. >> Fushigi is a mesmerizing is mesmerizing. It is magical. It is simply amazing and even stress-relieving. From the minute you pick it up for the first time, you'll be engaged in and determined to unlock the mystery through motion manipulation. Truly make Fushigi defy gravity and appear to float in midair. Whether you're young or old, you can conquer the heart of Fushigi and mesmerize your friends, family, and coworkers alike. The art of Fushigi mystifies all that come in contact with its abilities as you appear to float and move in ways and that confuse the senses. Fushigi's an incredible stress-maneuvering tool. Magic? Maybe. An illusion? Maybe. You decide. [laughter] They're magic Fushigi, the magic gravity ball. Warning, Fushigi is addictive >> [laughter] >> and mind-blowing. Does it look like I'm doing it? >> You should be pretty good at it. >> Fushigi! >> [laughter] >> Does it look like I'm doing something from that angle at all? Oh, cool. That's good cuz for me, I'm just holding >> [laughter] >> It's just holding a ball and doing [ __ ] Man, it makes me sad. I go on my phone all day, every day, and I'm like, "Oh, man." And I be doing doing that. And I think back of my childhood, we all we needed was a stupid [ __ ] ball, and we were having fun, and the world was whimsical. Where has our whimsy gone?
