In this episode I take a look at the Fisher Price "I Can Play" keyboard, which is actually more like a game console for kids. I try out a few cartridges such as Dora the Explorer. In the end, I want to disassemble it, but that proves more difficult than I originally planned.
You got a score of 3! You fail as a human being!
You got a score of 15! Maybe you should try manual labor instead!
Travis Gibby lol
Score of 3 qualifies you as a cat.
Travis Gibby - LMFAO!! I wish there was a toy saying things like that.
oof
👍
so I finished watching and I have to say I agree with you 100%. the destruction was surprising, I didn't expect that from you. keep up the good work
Engitly ..nah destruction like on his mp3 boom box video was appropriate. I just hope he doesn't do that too often. I prefer the devices getting fixed instead of the breaking them like the hot knife, hydraulic press, or 'watch me smash my I-device' videos.
domb2NY agreed
Engitly This shitty keyboard deserved destruction. And that is exactly what it got.
well it is quite shit i must agree
So far he has only destroyed two absolute pieces of garbage. I doubt he will turn into a destruction channel because he barely deals with garbage electronics like this.
too cringy on Dora The Explorer scene.
Also perfect on 8 Bit Guy's voice impression on Dora.
YOU STINK.

BonziVids he just sounds like ratey the math cat
YOOOOUUU STIINK.

Nice! Always keen for a new 8bitkeys video
4:10 "Press the enter button, to gAMES!!!" Made me lol
Seeing you go big on this keyboard in trying to figure out what the heck was going on was strangely satisfying
lol, it's almost like an episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd, except with keyboards. Thanks, that dissection made this video hilarious.
I had this toy as a kid (born in '02) and was trying to remember what it was called tonight. For a while, it was the only keyboard my family had, so when I wanted to learn how to play the piano for real, I would just put this thing into piano mode and go at it. Good times lol. It definitely didn't teach me anything about playing though, yeah.
The inside was rather disappointing. Thats why I stopped taking modern electronic devices apart. All that is in there is just a small logic board and some wires, all encapsulated by plastic.
That is the same story as me.
Weirdly entertaining video!
*shakes fist in rage* Damn you keyboard! I love it when I try to take something apart, but can't find that one screw still holding everything together.
5:23 This video was worth it just for the Fisher Price version of Behind These Hazel Eyes.
LOL "More like an autopsy at this point"… had me rolling!
"There will be no reassembly of this thing." Priceless.
been there... it was epic to watch you take thing apart.
In looking for screws in a plastic device, a magnet might have helped as long as the screws were steel. Other option would be to use a very narrow sensor metal detector. Or just pull on it till it breaks apart and then maybe glue it together, I did that with one of my car door inside panels.
This might be my favorite video.
This is brilliant . . . and exactly how I feel when I refuse to let a machine defeat me.
And the intro music is excellent
Where's the 8Bit Guy video with this keyboard?
I HAD THAT BEFORE AT A GOODWILL! I LIKED WHEN YOU DESTRUCTED IT!
I had the spongebob, piano favorites, and dora cartridge
I’ve been trying to find the name of this all day lol I use to love that piano
Did you try using a magnet to location the screws?
This was like me trying to take apart my boom box to fix the speaker
What did you use to record Dora's tutorial on TV?
695 Millennials disliked this video. 7,831 don't give a crap what Millenials think. :)
i did not expect that you would destroy it. nice :DD
4:11 "Press the enter button to, GAMES!"
I can play, but I CAN'T DISASSEMBLE
Fisher Price toys had a well deserved reputation for being indestructible back in the day. They're designed for children after all. Their newer toys are nowhere near as durable.
I literally live like 5 mins from that goodwill
It's a literal "Musical Autopsy"! I'm used to crappy music being torn apart, not crappy instruments!
You say that this keyboard has too few keys, but two keyboards on the wall behind you have even less keys. Are they as useless as well?
More or less.
Would it be possible to stretch out to 16-Bit Keyboards?
I had a Kawai K11 back in 1993 and it was amazing for it's time, but unfortunately for some reason now none of the keys work. If anyone knows what I should look at, I am happy to crack it open and have a go.
Tfw Dan Green teaches you how to play the piano.
i used to have this. it was awesome. i had the sponge bob cartridge
3:52-3:55 Still my favorite part.
Were almost 600 people upset you used the cat a bit on the keyboard?
Look at that car baby
3:52 The meme, legend, & meme
TITLE: Destruction of the Fisher Price "I Can Play" keyboard
ME: "Oh, maybe he's gonna do some circuit bending!"
THE VIDEO: *literally cutting into the plastic with a handsaw*
DJ4x I was honestly expecting him to cut it open with a handsaw, as that’s exactly what I’d have done. Except I probably wouldn’t have been able to find a handsaw and would’ve gone at it with a breadknife or some other sharp, serrated thing that really wasn’t designed for that job and would make things infinitely harder for myself.
No handsaw
I mean the title isnt wrong.

8 bit guy was found with a broken toy keyboard on the floor with a dora cartridge in it
Hahaha.
Wow. That is genuinely the first time I've ever seen anyone use the Somemong texture as their user icon. A year or two ago, that would've totally left me scratching my head because I didn't know that Terry wads are a thing in the DOOM modding community. I only recognized it because of all the crappy DOOM wad videos by Aquarius199 that I've watched over the last few months.
😆 😂 hahahahaha

oii victor i see you everywhere... :)
Sui Yo Hey. How are you on this fine, fine day? :)
I'm good, thanks. :)
Hey I've seen you at OSFirstTimer!
my sister has this keyboard, if you turn both hands on and press the number 4 during songs it actually does get pretty complex for someone who's not a pro, it also turns off all the cartoony stuff and turns the screen sideways making it look more like a music sheet, toobad you didn't play with it a little longer
i guess I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Guillermo Angelo Flixportal :P
thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !
@Guillermo Angelo no problem :D
WOOOAAAIT, you're color blind?
Well okay. There are glasses to get rid of color blindness, but they probably cost a billion dollars.
I've seen those but I'm very skeptical if they actually work. I think it is a lot of pseudoscience and marketing.
Achil ADRIEN I'm colorblind to orange. I want to try those glasses so bad!
Sounds like a something the patreon supports can get for you :)
I am part colorblind too. To be specific, it might not even be colorblindness, it's like i cant differentiate some colors. Like greenish blue is impossible for me to determine wether is it blue or is it green. Same with dark blue, i always see it as purple
They actually work and they're not as expensive as you'd think. Check them out online!
curiosity killed the fisherprice keyboard
That destroyed my childhood.
But the cat helped.
You probably have only partial color blindness if you can distinguish all the 3 filters you used in the Quickcam video
I have a mild form of red/green colorblindness. Ironically, I can see red and green just fine. I have trouble seeing purple and brown. And even those two colors I can see, but only if they are very saturated. Any mild version of purple appears as blue, and brown will appear as green.
So yeah, I guess you had no problem with those filters :)
Oh, and I think that keyboard should be rebranded as "I Can Play! -Well, think again, kid"
8-Bit Keys that sounds odd indeed, though when I had a look at some 'simulatorx' on a website about colour blindness the results were not quite what I expected.
I suppose assuming there are defective or missing cones it would shift the implied colours.
If purple looks blue that would imply you don't see red well (or possibly at all).
When you start looking at stuff like the light receptors in the eye but especially how the brain processes colours it can get quite surprising.
There is a theory stating that the brain effectively works out colour differentially.
Which results in light/dark, red/green, and yellow/blue as the axes of the colour space.
since red/green would be the difference between the L(red) and M(green) cones, while yellow/blue is the difference between this, and the S(blue) cone, well, the possible results of colur perception issues can obviously get quite complicated...
Certainly what the simulated images looked like was quite surprising, and which colours became problematic, and not obvious from the way the various types are described.
I guess a further complication here is that rods have their own frequency response independent of the cones, plus there is a type of cell which primarily has to do with sleep cycle regulation which again has a unique frequency response curve.
Officially that shouldn't be influencing vision, but you never can tell in biology.
Certainly the rods would have some influence, since that represents your peripheral vision...
Yes.. My theory for a while has been that my red receptors are weak. I can see red. But when you mix red with another color, I usually don't see the red. That's why I have a hard time seeing purple or brown. But I can certainly see both colors when they are very bright. And I know it isn't just my imagination. I've taken those color blindness tests and they do indeed show that I am colorblind. That was always something I was not willing to accept when I was younger because I could see all of the colors of the rainbow. But later on I discovered that colorblindness comes in many forms and mine is a very weak form of it (which is good, I guess.)
It's protanomaly, judging by David's description. There are plugins for gimp that give a rough simulation of what such vision could look like to people with full color vision.
To be fair to Millennials, those participation awards aren't for their benefit but for their Gen X parents. Millennials get an unfair rap.
It always grinds my gears whenever people shit talk Millennials as a whole.
Hell yeah we do! Finally someone who understands that it is not Millennials that raise Millennials.
Keith Gaughan yeah I'd say the reason score stopped being kept because of the fights parents would get in with each other and the coaches.
I wonder what people will say about kids born 2010-20? What will we even call them?
CrAzYgIrL I think they call them gen Z or smth

@@dumbmouse7256 thats basically what they did, be annoying and change the words in an effort to censor them, sometimes the old lyrics were censored for no apparent reason
I really hate these products that have tons of hidden screws and plastic hinges... Everything should have just 4 corner screw that is clearly revealed and that should be it.
Plus maybe a few center screws depending on how large the thing is - otherwise it will easily get very flimsy. :)
Anders Enger Jensen Maybe. But, for example, 13 screws on a 13 inch laptop is definitely overkill, not to mention tons of plastic hinges.
I almost thought that having so many screws are for, in case you lose some, the remaining screws can still hold the case XD
Yeah, I was thinking of my regular sized professional keyboards/synths - they would not endure much with only four screws. ;) But yeah, they sometimes go overboard with these things.
In the end, I'm happy as long as there is the possibility to service and change parts, not like the line Apple has ventured down with soldered RAM and such. :/
Anders Enger Jensen Yeah. Nowadays, it's kinda weird that we have super think cellphones but we need super thick power bank to keep it alive. In the past we really just take an extra battery and that should do it.
As for serviceable parts, well, I'm happy to have a laptop that has 3 RAM slots and 2 hard drive slots... Except one of the RAM slot is on the C side and can't be opened that easily. Well at least I can have 16GB of RAM rather than 8GB, which does help a lot.
(By the way, among all the technologies I kinda hate ZIF sockets the most. I mean, can't we just have something similar to IDE or SATA? But instead, we have something that we can never make sure the connection is good enough?)
PGA is a bit more robust then LGA at least. LGA, bend one pin setting down a CPU onto the pins, and it's game over. With PGA you may get a second chance to straighten the pins on the bottom of the CPU. As for something like IDE/SATA, not nearly enough IO to handle up to 32+ simultaneous PCI lanes, HDD controllers, RAM, USB and other peripherals without at least a few hundred pins. Would be super expensive, and huge.
Guitar Hero does the same thing for low scores as well. Only a 2 star rating? YOU ROCK!
Phoenix Wright yeah as long you don't fail the song you get the "you rock" message
Well, you can charge the wrong people and raise false objections about 4 times without being suspended by the court, yet you can win a case and get legendary status. ;P
I can't play GH or RB on "Easy" because the missing notes throw me off way too much. Also, I wish I could turn off compliments in DDR, but leave the boos in. Boos are instant feedback, but the cheers are delayed, so it's always confusing what I'm being cheered for and it's almost meaningless.
I was playing DDRMAX2 yesterday. Failed a song (but have it set to End of Song instead of Arcade mode).
Got an E (a fail).
"GOOD JOB!!!!"
Damn millennials.
It should’ve said something encouraging when you failed, like “You did good, but I think you can do even better! I believe in you!”
Yeah i think the boomers are only halfway there. Like yeah people need effort and a reason to get better but you can provide that without being a butthole
Agree, that would have been a much better way to encourage learning while keeping being positive to avoid angry Karen mother sueing because your keyboard dare to told their 2yo toddler it wasn't the very best pianist in the world :/
Aaaa
I agree with that!
Next time you seek a hidden screw, try running a magnet over the surface. Presumably, you could feel more pull over a screw than any other metal part.
That's interesting.
Wouldn't that risk damage to the chips though? I dunno, I've heard magnets can wipe or corrupt chips.
sքɨċʏsaʟaɖ yeah that could, depending on the magnet
that only applies to hard drives and floppies
Plus I don't think he was concerned with not damaging the item lol
I'm not a millennial nor do I have any children but I don't get the whole complaining about millennials getting participation trophies thing. It isn't the millennials that are handing out the trophies, it's their parents. If anything people should be complaining about the parents, not the kids.
What he said is not a criticism of millennials, but rather of those who reinforce the "participation trophies" principle. Agreed with you, it is the parents' fault.
Fun fact, it isn't millennials who think praise is important. It's the trophy companies. They are the ones pushing the constant praise in hopes you'll buy trophies or ribbons to reward. They're making a fortune.
Fun fact, it's actually the plastic manufacturer's faults, who make the materials the trophy companies need to give the trophies away.
@@yourfairyking fun fact, it's actually Earth's fault for having the supplies to make plastic.
I don’t get why people act like it’s millennials. It’s more of a Gen Z thing if anything. I grew up in Gen Z, and I have to say, we got participation trophies for literally everything
Parents don't like toys that talk down to their kids. That's why toys don't do that, people wouldn't buy them.
I love the Millennial generation crap, you can find the same arguments about previous generations bitching about baby boomers haha.
SECONDQUEST I am a millennial and millennials are demonstrably worse.
Being a Gen-X'er, this is insulting!
Turrican4D I'd love that!
you shouldn't be allowed to have children
Maybe it should, say something like "Keep practicing, and you'll get better" Where it still says you should try harder, but not so strong i guess idk
dude I had completely forgot that I had one of these when I was a little kid until I watched this video then BAM when you played fur elise and I saw that shitty cartoon beethoven all the memories of me getting frustrated with this device came back to me, like woah dude thanks for making me remember this small insignificant but cool thing about my childhood
Let's remember the fact that a 10$ 2000s Kids keyboard held out longer against a Computer guy than Industrial IBM machines.

That's the trouble with kids electronics, they're frustratingly cheap and nasty, after all, they're designed to be used twice then left in the toybox 'til the parents clear it all out... :P
Hit the nail on the head there!

@surfitlive basically bring the consulier gtp bach into production, that thing was the fisher price of cars
I'm a musician and tech enthusiast myself. Typically with a keyboard that small, I'll just play chunk chords as far on the left as possible, and restructure the melodies. it's technically incorrect but it still sounds good.
Josh Redwood 61 keys is my minimum since it was required for sonates. I had 1 octave less and did shift e.g. my left hand 1 octave higher too.
It's just easier to manage that way.
I don't think that people of your generation have any right to bash participation awards... you were giving them to us, after all. I liked the video, but the joke about those was just distasteful, really. In that example Dora didn't even really praise the low score.
Huh. The cartridges make me think that this keyboard is kind of like a musical version of an old LeapPad. Then again, that may just be my nostalgia talking.
LeapPad was life
That Dude TIME TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES!!! that's all mine said...
DerpFace Better change 'em.
YES! LEAP PADS!
Fisher-Price had a variant of the LeapPad called the Powertouch Learning System. I had one in preschool and kindergarten, then in first grade my parents got me a LeapPad, since the Powertouch was too pathetic for even my 6-year-old self.
Dora was being ironic

Working at a job for a few years in R&E made me a lot more cynical than I was before.
I think this thing still has potential. Imagine if rom enthusiasts started modding the roms and put Doom or something in as proof of concept!
mfaizsyahmi. I think you would be learning the theme of Doom more than shooting.
Yeah.. it would be hard to control a FPS with this sort of keyboard. Not that it couldn't be done, but would not be fun.
mfaizsyahmi. Hahaha ,imagine doom running on a dora keyboard would be geniouse, if the processor inside it is 32bits.
Why does it have to be 32-bits?
10:22 "Normally, I'm pretty good about taking things apart and putting them back together. There will be no re-assembky of this thing. This is more like an autopsy at this point" Ohh man that line, best evil speech ever!!

Millenials are between 20 to 30 years old now.
Nukleon Really? So someone born in 2000 is now 17 and they fit in the 20-30? Maths....
That's not how generations work.
Millenials are born between the early 80's and mid 90's. Not born in 2000.
Nukleon is right. The original definition of millennial is someone who GRADUATED on or around the millennium. Not kids born after 2000.
That said, these generational labels are all but meaningless.
I agree. The labels just seem to be there for people to demonize "those darn kids" with their rock and/or roll and Pixy Stix. It's been going on for as long as some people have been older than other people. I hope I never get like that and understand the next generation is (or will be) just as stupid as I was (am).
Kinda funny though that "those darn kids" - Millennials - are actually full-grown adults.
Easily one of my favorite videos. Something about you destroying it but not being mindless about it (like so many channels bank their entire content off of) and make even breaking a plastic toy educational.
I get the millenial joke is an easy chip-in, and ahh why doesn't it criticize me? But it's a toy from the early 2000s marketed towards 3-6 year olds. It doesn't aim at teaching kids to play anything, really, just to smash the keys and have fun. Which is acceptable for a keyboard for that demographic!
Rip baby toy keyboard
This is what you call a kids keyboard.
Hi Dave, I have been in the situation of looking for hidden screws too. A magnet can help you in cases like this. Unless the screws are brass of course.
