![Fc ครับ ขอแนะนำให้รู้จักกับ "น้องเปียโน" l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HQU6Q_IYTLo/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm so used to Henson and Disney-quality puppeteering that I've never realized how Barney was just a guy destroying his jaw and neck to make it kind of look like Barney was talking. Great video buddy!
You were part of this admit it
My thoughts exactly! The poor Barney actors - makes you wonder why they didn’t try building Animatronic masks like the Gorgs in Fraggle Rock used.
Wouldn’t be mad if there was a DefunctTv episode on Barney ☺️.
Do pee wees playhouse please
The first suit for barney looked like chomper from land before time
Fun Fact about the Barney movie:
One person that was allegedly considered to direct was a rather young college graduate named *Trey Parker.*
Yes, *that* Trey Parker, one of the guys behind South Park!
Can you imagine that?
I mean Tim Burton made PeeWee's Big Adventure, but Trey Parker making Barney: The Movie?
Funny to imagine how that would've looked like.
I'm sure Parker could have done a lot with a character named BJ 😂
I would've loved to see that version.
Oh my god! They killed BJ
No, he's actually squished. Anyway, you monsters!
Didn't South Park once have a similar character?
Barney in his early years was flat out terrifying...
I wonder if Dan would discuss the Wiggles? They’ve certainly gone through an evolution
Definitely
Omg you said it definitely needs too do it
They even appeared on Barney's Musical Castle. The tour not the video
Yes please, Wiggles evolution video!!
Yes i would love that he did Barney he did big bird he did the teletubies he’s got to do a wiggles evolution of one of the wiggles characters like Dorthy the dinosaur or wags the dog or Henery the octopus
Crowd surfing Barney is a hilarious thing to image
Ya’ll know his Japanese actor of Jotaro
Barney will always hold a special place in my heart. I was obsessed with the show as a child to the point that my parents still have several episodes memorized. I lost my hearing at 4 but was already talking in part because of Barney, so I feel like part of the reason I am where I am today was because of the impact this show had on me as a child.
That’s so cool. I had cancer as a baby and my parents used the videos to get me to stay still while getting chemo treatments.
How did u lose ur hearing?
@@cooperminion825 I have a genetic disorder called Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome. It usually onsets about the age of 5, usually by a hit to the head
@@bookmovietvworm dang that sounds awful, I play band so if I lost hearing idk what I’d do. Wishing you the best 🙏🏼 ♥️
......Um "already"???? Considering you were FOUR already, your English should be absolutely perfect during most verbal conversation!
Therapist: "Handsome Barney isn't real, he can't hurt you."
Handsome Barney: 13:35
I honestly never knew Barney looked like that at the start lol
Dan, you should do a costume evolution for SpongeBob. He has gone through many different costumes and has even had a broadway musical!
buts it’s animation
@@brviah I was talking about his costumes in theme parks, live shows, etc. Not the TV show lol
@@Yellowroll oh sorry my bad
I loved the musical so much
I love that no matter what the topic of the video is, he somehow manages to mention Mickey mouse in some form.
The mouse sees all! ALL!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
They don't call him Disney Dan for nothing!
@@TheSmart-CasualGamer The first Mickey looks like he’s seen some things! 😂
This is the most I've looked at Barney since I was very little, and was not expecting to get this emotional over an imaginary purple dinosaur.
12:46
Barney:”it’s me y-“
Kid: **falls off of balcony and dies**
Pause 13:58, Barney's shoulder's ripped. Just shows how little the costume designers cared about this monster of a suit XD
I was a Barney kid and till this day I can sing in full “there was a hole, there was a hole, in the middle of the ground, in the middle of the ground, a really big hole….” Haha would love to know about the actors now that you mentioned 😬 haha
I’m 28 btw and sing it to my 8 yr old until he gets annoyed hahahaha
@@Stephanie-px3tf My mom did the same thing to me growing up, hahaha. She would even play a cassette of it in the car, to the point where I started having dreams with the song playing
@Timothywhack115 28 is the new 40
@@the-inatorinator haha I remember I had a cassette but I think I might’ve annoyed my mom and she gifted it lol
A bit late, but you might wanna check out Carry Stinson's podcasts, Purple Tales(discontinued for unknown reasons) and Purple Roads(essentially the "new season" of Purple Tales). Basically, he's the guy in the Barney suit and invites peeps who worked on Barney and other children shows. Purple Tales purely focuses on Barney tho :3
I remembered seeing some other Barney episode that has him looked different. Thanks for making the evolution of Barney. Now I definitely know how Barney was like before I came to know what I mainly see him like.
I loved Barney! Barney in Concert and Barney goes to school we’re my favorite. I found out last year that Tina and Lucy were not really sisters!
Also, the clip of 2010 Barney scared my 5y/o. As soon as she saw it and squealed in horror “THAT’S A HUMAN FACE!!!!”
Even as a child, it concerned me greatly that parents left their children with a plush dinosaur after school! Even if the parents knew he came to life (which was only in the kids' imagination), the only help he had was BABY Bop! Even when the only slightly older BJ joined the show, he was not equipped to take care of up to six children at a time!
Bruh 🤣
thankfully the kids never got in any trouble
I wasn’t expecting you to cover this. But yeah, my childhood was fueled by Barney as well, and I was for sure one of these kids who would cry and sob if Barney wasn’t on TV!
Oh, and Barney In Concert wasn’t a ticketed show, nor was it a tour. It was something produced exclusively for video, with mostly local Barney Fan Club members in attendance.
But yes, the first three Barney videos were the best! “Blue Barney” is my favorite iteration!
I was a hardcore Barney kid.
Agree.
I never seen the show but I saw the movie and loved it so much the I can never forget this one time I was in toy world shop and they had a chain of Barnys all over and I asked my mum if I could get one but as she said no I started crying because I couldn’t get him but now I can make my own so take that mum
Am I the only one who thinks the kids on the show were mentally disabled?
@Will N The teachers should talk to their students like normal people so they don't feel patronized.
Oh so THAT'S why he's always been known as a purple dinosaur! I was always confused, because he's more of a magenta than a purple.
I always thought he was pink
@@cooperminion825 And I thought he was a Clifford-Red in some episodes for some reason.
@@buttercupfannetwork8851 interesting
One of my earliest memories is of my parents singing the "I love you, you love me" song to me when I was probably three years old with a singing barney toy. Later, incidentally around 2010 (maybe it had something to do with the costume change), everyone my age somehow gained a seemingly random hatred of Barney. I was in middle school at the time and heard all sorts of rumors that Barney had tripped on a log, fallen and cursed on live television, which was untrue as far as I know, but it was just a weird rumor kids around that time spread. I just don't know why everyone chose Barney to hate on:(
I can assure you every rumor you’ve heard regarding Barney is untrue. The cursing on live tv is the easiest to debunk simply because the show didn’t air live, even dialogue for live appearances is pre-recorded. Not to mention the VO actors are consummate professionals… they held Barney to a high standard and knew any slip-ups would jeopardize the brand.
The hatred started after the first video was released. They received a negative review in people magazine, and the critic really took it to the extreme… went after the creators (two Dallas moms who were teachers). So, it predates Vee Corp’s questionable design choice… it got worse as Barney became mainstream. For some reason people (still) have a problem with a dinosaur being purple, friendly, and teaching kids love, respect, good manners and other important lessons.
My hatred of Barney stemmed from having a talking doll of him that i swear to god was possessed! It would just start talking in the other room even though it was turned off and appeared in rooms we swear we didn't put it in. That little purple prick even woke me up in the middle of the night from across my bedroom. Luckily it never said anything that wasn't supposed to be in its programmed repertoire but it still freaked us out so bad we burned it. good times 😏
OH yeah, i was not a barney kid when i was little (i tolerated the show, but only recall watching it at a very young age, and there was other shows that i was much more obsessed with at that age) but i remember back in grade 2 or 4 recognising the tune used for "i love you you love me" in a name that tune type thing in an afterschool program i took in elementary as, well, "i love you you love me" and they assumed that i WAS a barney kid based on that and the fact that i was wearing a purple shirt at the time.
Also barney hate has pretty much existed for as long as barney itself have existed, If i had a nickle for every time an Edgy grade 4 kids in the playground would sing "i hate you, you hate me, lets team up and kill barney" l'd probably be rich lol. Also while i dont think i have heard the cursed on live television rumour, i do recall hearing a rumour about a dude that was in the barney suit getting arrested for stashing drugs in the tail although i have no idea if its true or not (probably not)
@@kirbysuperstaruhh3769 even Mulder made a joke about it in the 1st season of The X Files. That was all the way back in the 90s
At least you had elementary school. The only time when I didn't hear any Barney bashing was when I was with my family
Barney used to look so much creepier back in the day. We’re lucky he’s come so far.
1:04 I can see these designs working for a show with older kids, but yeah, preschoolers would be terrified of the fangs.
It's a very Don Bluth-esque look, which works in a cartoon, but in a suit, that's gonna be seen by tots all across the nation? Probably not.
If I saw that 2010 design of Barney when the character was live in concert when I was younger, it would've been for-certain nightmare fuel. But now as a young adult, I just can't unsee it and its 'uncanny valley' proportioned facial features resembling an actual walking dinosaur hahaha.
Lol. Yeah
I saw the design of Barney back in 2002, and was still afraid. I was terrified and left the live show crying.
@@opossumsauce4472 SAME! I honestly still have nightmares.
He looks like something out of _Berserk_ , and that's the last thing you want associated with Barney.
I loved Waiting for Santa and Barney’s Great Adventure as a child. Those two still have a special place in my heart.
Barney looks terrifying with that wide eyed stare in Barney’s Live Birthday Bash. I feel like he’s staring into my soul😂
barney has always been a very comforting character to me and recently i watched an old tape i had with some friends and i started crying when he sang “i love you.” maybe its something about his voice but it feels like he really means it. great video dan as always :)
Same. He still is a comforting character for me at times. 💜💚
I understand. Unfortunate and heartbreaking crap happened today, and since we work like this nowadays, I tried to find some kind of consolation on youtube. So randomly I came across a Barney episode and wanted to watch it, without context.
I can't believe that listening to that purple goof talk in such a gentle and supportive way was the only thing on youtube that made me half smile
Dan, if this video had to be summed up in one magnificent word… Stupendous!💜💚💜💚
This has gotta be an early Christmas gift, ever since I started commenting on wanting a Barney evo, there have since been numerous video essays on the big purple dino. All of them wonderful of course. But THIS video is THE video I’ve been waiting for!
Thank you, Dan!
7:39 I'm half asleep watching this and I tell you that image JOLTED me awake! 😱😱😱
I will still burst into the Mr Knickerbocker song to this day. 100% Barney child. There’s even a picture of me in my stroller in Egypt clutching my Barney doll like he was one of the pharaohs that commissioned the pyramids
I was a very big Barney fan and I literally screamed when I seen your posted this. I’ve been waiting so long for you to do a Barney video. My favorite Barney video in particular was Barney’s Big Surprise
I would love a video about the Barney performers and maybe even about some of the kids on the show. I looked up to a lot of the kids on the show especially seasons 1-3 and it would be cool to see a sort of "where are they now".
agree
Well 2 of the kids were demi lavato and Selena Gomez so we know what they are up to now and days lol
“I wanna talk about everyone’s favorite purple imagination based reptile! That’s right! I’m talking about Barney-“
Figment: Aight, peace out.
This is why I have mad respect for actors, because they ARE the characters, and to see how much complexity even with such simple childlike character designs as Barney has to be performed and make a more refined costume as time goes on will always fascinate me because of different artstyles and suits suited for each performance
I was totally a Barney kid growing up and still love him to this day. 💜💚 Never thought I would see a Barney evolution video from you but I'm soo happy you did. Such a (as Barney would say) Stupendous video Dan!
Also didn't expect you to mention the nightmares that was Birthday Bash Barney. Thank goodness after a while they changed the costume to be more like the TV show.
It would be awesome if you could do a follow up video on Barney's voice actors and costume performers
David Voss and David Joyner are perfect examples of costume performers and bob west and duncan Brennan are perfect examples of voice actors.
Fun fact, two of Barney's VA's worked for Chuck E. Cheese's. Bob West was Jasper and Pasqually, with Duncan Brannan playing Chuck E. himself
@@lukeroberts3464 I can't argue with you there although I personally only grew up with Bob West and David Joyner as Barney
@@alexdionisos I know pretty cool isn't it?
@@alexdionisos I have Duncan on Facebook and he sure is both barney and Chuck E. Cheese and another fun fact he also played Chuck E. Cheese and barney and he also has a TH-cam channel too.
Absolutely LOVED Barney when I was a little kid. Had an entire Barney plush I'd take with me everywhere. I remember trying to memorize all the songs for fun. The "Mister Sun" song is one of the songs I still remember to this day.
As a toddler I really liked Barney, but I was TERRIFIED of the early iteration. I called him "low voice Barney" and would have an emotional breakdown if the Barney tape my parents put on for me had that version 🤣
Ah the nostalgia!! I loved Barney as a kid. Yes the white tapes. I do remember the Backyard gang Barney since my parents bought those VHS’s too.
I only remember the trailers at the end some other vhs tapes and suddenly Barney went from annoying but harmless to genuinely disturbing.
@@RikoJAmadoI had a Barney theme birthday party when I was 2 years old in 97 I was at my grandparents house I didn’t know I was being filmed I had Barney in Concert VHS Barney was my favorite tv show back then
This is awesome !!!! I would love to see an evolution of costumed characters from the Wiggles, like Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog !!!
Agree.
I Agree too. My Favourite is Captain Feathersword ❤️💛💜💙😄👍🏻. I met him in 2015 along with the other New Generation Wiggles and he is a really nice SMILO guy ❤️💛💜💙
I really know a lot about Paul Paddick(Captain Feathersword) and the other wiggles!!!

@@smilosmilo1232 of course I 100 💯 percent agree with you for sure.
Barney was my childhood growing up. I had Barney toes, a Barney PC game, some VHS tapes, both my brother and I had custom
made Barney cartoons for our birthdays. Watching this video brings back fond memories. It really put a smile on my face.
Thank you for all you do. And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I'm 25 , and barney is some of my oldest memories. As an only child my own barney plush was my first friend. I still have him. This made me smile.
beautiful installment
thank you for respecting the history of this character
Hi, I'd like to say that I really enjoy your content. Compared to Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers, it's much harder to find out about the history of Barney. Thank you for giving me a chance to learn about a character that was so fundamental to my early childhood.
Hedge!!!!
😊
I was definitely a Barney kid in the 90s. Aside from Barney's color changing from the original videos to the TV show, the other major change I remember was BJ and Baby Bop were originally full-size like Barney and then they suddenly became more child size. I was so confused as a little kid. haha
Although I hate Barney it’s very interesting to see how far the costume has come. The costume for Barney’s Birthday Bash on the other hand will now live in my nightmares.
The two teachers that created Barney actually went to my dad ( He was a local TV producer at the time) with the idea. But the company he worked for just didnt have the budget for what they wanted to do, so he had to say no, but he referred them to the company that ultimately did buy up the idea. My dads company liked the idea, just yeah, no money no go. So they tried to do a similar program, with the small budget they had. It was called Rosie O'Hen. About a big blue hen. I got to be in an episode too. But obviously, only one of the shows did well lol
I didn’t realize Dan and I were so close in age. I was an obsessive Barney kid! There was an episode of the show where they sang the song “De Colores” and I was completely mesmerized by it. That memory has stuck with me all my life.
I grew up on Barney too, and I fondly remember his movie being awesome. He's just so lovable and huggable while being JUUUST the slightest bit creepy haha
Wow! I was a Barney kid. My two favorites: Barney Visits the Library and Barney Goes to the Movies. Yup! So fun. And the send off nod to the song was perfect Dan... made me tear up... darn nostalgia. Keep them coming Dan. You rock!!
I love Barney and being almost 34 years old I’m never growing out of Barney! 💜💚💛
I was born in 1994, so I Barney live around 1998! I still appreciate Barney as an adult having grown up with him on my tv. He's initially the reason why purple became my favorite color and that became a lift of it's own
That 2010 barney....it looks like they where trying to base it off REAL dinosaurs....but uh someone got ahold of the fun powder and made that monstrosity
Wow. I was most definitely a Barney kid. We had the original tapes too and I LOVED them. We were the first kids on our block to get the first stuffed Barney toys. I would watch the tv series all through kindergarten and first grade. I remember when my favorite child author and illustrator Tomie DePaola was a guest star.
Barney in concert was definitely a childhood favorite. The shabby farm animals were my favorite lol.
I was a Barney kid, I loved all. I used to watch the movie all the time, still sing the "it's cold" song whenever it's cold and the Christmas specials have a special place in my heart.
I grew up in a Barney HOUSEHOLD for sure! You didn't mention it, but the Barney's Big Surprise was my favorite of the recorded live shows! I would LOVE for you to cover more about the people who actually played Barney, there were so many rumors going around as kids. I'd love to learn their real stories! I would also love for you to include an evolution of the side characters such as BJ and Baby Bop since they changed quite a bit in my Barney days as well, and I'd love to learn more about how their costumes worked! I love that you're branching out into nostalgic kids tv shows, it's great to have such a great blast from the past! Thanks for all you do!
Hope we get to see a SpongeBob DIStory episode.
Basically the costume that is.
Here is the very first costume i think th-cam.com/video/KjT2BACn3-0/w-d-xo.html
I was definitely a Barney kid, and so was my husband growing up. Now my daughter adores him, and it's awesome to share that with her. She watches Barney's Great Aventure at least 3 times a day.
I watched the Barney beach vhs tape a million times as a kid, it was my all time favorite tape for a long time. 🧡 Wow thank you for unlocking this memory
Early designs of Barney actually looks really cool
I loved watching Barney every morning in the same channel, it's awesome to see he is still remembered!
Your energy is so warm infectious! No matter how low of a mood I'm in, you laughing gets me laughing too. Thanks for sharing this, from one Barney kid to another - some of the footage took me right back to childhood!
I was too old for their demographic when Barney was super big but I spent so much time babysitting my brothers that I had so many of these tapes memorized. I ended up low key really loving Baby Bop. I still hum "Mr. Knickerbocker" to myself sometimes at 40 (oh lordy). I would love to hear stories about the preformers and voice actors for Barney.
I cannot remember which video it was from,
But to THIS DAY, my family still sings the song “She’s my sister, I love my sister” as an inside joke. My sister and I wore out those Barney tapes as a kid as well. Kids these days just don’t know haha
I still remember the 1st time I saw Waiting for Santa as a child, I was extremely confused since it wasn’t the same as regular Barney, and then when I actually saw Barney in the video I was so terrified that I didn’t watch it again for another 2 or 3 years. But after seeing that 1st costume it looks really does look more friendly by comparison. Hate to admit it but I was a big Barney fan. Being from Ireland, Barney (and Bear in the Big Blue House) was one of the only American preschool tv shows I watched. My favourite VHS was definitely Barney Live (1994). Great video, nice to see the occasional non Disney characters video as well, keep it up 👍🏻
Another excellent video, Dan! I remember having that one Barney on Broadway VHS tape with the "Apples and Bananas" song on it, lol. Also, I've never seen the original Barney or that newer, off-looking one until this video. Those designs are CURSED!!!!
Do you think you would consider doing an "Evolution of Statler and Waldorf" video to continue in the vain of childhood icons, as well as your Muppets videos? :D
I love Barney. I loved him as a kitten and I still love him today. I would imagine the in person barney meet and greets will return once we get a handle on the pandemic. But it's nice to know he's still around
Great video. I was a Barney kid growing up. Loved the nostalgia this video gave. Would love to see a video on the Barney performers.
Oh my gosh, I ADORED Barney in Concert! That was my most watched Barney VHS too! I think it's actually the first time Baby Bop made an appearance. She was my favorite, so if that's really the case, I guess it makes sense as to why I watched that one so much. I love that you talked about Barney's costumes throughout the years. Barney was pretty much my first obsession. He kept my mom sane, since almost every time he was on, I was glued to the TV. I still have my Barney and Baby Bop dolls from babyhood too. XD
Barney’s jaw had no business being that aggressive. I didn’t even know Barney was around for this long.
I was afraid to watch this because I was afraid there would be Barney bashing, I finally watched it and am so pleasantly surprised! I wasn't a Barney fan growing up, but he means alot to some of my friend's childhoods. Thanks for being so upbeat and nice in the video Dan as always
Pointing and laughing at how weird, clunky, and badly chroma-keyed the first suit was is okay, right?
Dinosaurs are Reptiles. They're related to birds, but are so basil, they're still grouped as Reptiles. They're specialized and hyper advanced Reptiles, like we're specialized and hyper advanced Mammals.
However birds are dinosaurs, classified as Avian Saurians, the last know surviving clade of dinosaur
Science teacher at a museum here. Can confirm. :)
@@FantasiaTC I went to the ROM and well I know this isn't related to the video buuuut it's a funny story. So I was young and in grade 9ish on a trip...with My class and we went to the mythology part of the museum and the lady was talking about Zeus....and straight up called him I kid you not a "man whore" and I died. Laughing. Than I cried. Because it's true...
@@Silver_wind_1987_ I think I may know which teacher that was!
I was a little too old for Barney when he came along, but my younger sister adored him. She’d drag my mom into the room every time to sing the I Love You song :p
Those original concept pieces just prove Barney is a Rex… 🤣
Yo Barney was literally part of my childhood since I was like 2, this is literally such a big nostalgia, I remember going to see that show at universal when I was 8 and it was a lot of fun.
I loved this video. I love how you were talking so passionately about each Barney and each vhs! Here in the UK we got Barney a bit later, though he did have a show at our biggest theme park Alton Towers in the early 2000s, among some other appearances. However when my daughter was a toddler, around 2014, she quickly learned how to use the TH-cam kids app and discovered Barney all by herself. She fell in love with him! I picked up some of the vhs tapes for her off eBay and we were lucky to catch the end of Barney’s popular era, around 2015/16, as we saw him at a holiday camp and a live tour in our town. Just introducing my youngest to him now and he loves him too. ☺️❤️
Ok now we need some Sesame Street evaluation vids I need more nostalgia like this
Thank you for wrapping me in a warm dinosaur hug of nostalgia. I was suuuch a Barney kid and had kind of forgotten about my old BFF. I may have teared up a little bit :D
Ok THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. Barney was my first hyperfixation as a kid. Like seriously according to my parents I was singing along with Barney before I could talk.
You covering this is bring back a LOT of nostalgic feelings.
Tho I have no memories of that first costume. Didn’t have the first three videos and god that costume is just wow.
Now I patiently wait for his Power Rangers DIStory.
Even though I never grew up on Barney as a kid, I actually respect him more as an adult. Not only did my "Barney Games" review on my Fairly OddGamer channel receive lots of praise from Barney fans, but I've also provided content on TikTok with some of my mascot costumes. And yes, most of them include the purple dinosaur himself. I was also lucky to have met one of Barney's suit performers, Josh Martin, whom some of you might know as the voice of Majin Buu from "Dragon Ball Z".
Loved the video and always enjoy your content. And remember, I love you.
Barney Waiting for Santa was one of my favorite movies but Dan, I’d probably make kid you jealous, I got to see Barney live right after they fixed the switch to the cartoon design & to this day I have kept a handful of the confetti that they release at the end.
The OG Barney legit scared the ish out of me when I was little. Even today, I still get uncomfy looking at him
I was so obsessed with Barney when I was little. I have a very distinct memory of the episode where all the kids put on these car costumes made from cardboard boxes and from that moment on I was obsessed with cardboard boxes to the point where I would get giant boxes as gifts. My parents got a new fridge and actually saved the box as a gift for me lol
We just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and we just love watching your videos to have a good laugh and enjoy your comedy. Thanks for your content!
THE WAITING FOR SANTA BARNEY THO!! That was my jam as a kid!! 🙌👏
I was a Barney kid as well, the only videos I remembered owning from Barney and the Backyard Gang was Waiting for Santa and Rock with Barney, there was many from Barney and Friends. I also owned Barney Live in New York City and Barney's Great Adventure, now I have the movie on DVD for nostalgic purposes and I'm grown already.
Barney the Dinosaur was everything to me when I was a kid 💜🦖
I was OBSESSED with Barney as a kid! I had all the tapes and toys, and my parents never let me live it down that I wouldn’t move to our new apartment without my Barney doll traveling with me. I was NOT AWARE of the first version of Barney with that dark purple. He’s giving me creepy vibes compared to the lovable dino we all remember fondly.
But I would LOVE a video about the people who played Barney. At 31, I’m far enough removed from my adoration of Barney to want to hear all about the people who played him!
I was OBSESSED with those Barney tapes as a kid!! Three wishes was my absolute favorite. Also I have the elf rap from the Christmas special MEMORIZED 🤦🏻♀️. Also that 2010 scary Barney looks like Frank Sinatra in the worst way 😂
I watched that Christmas Barney all year round at my grandmas house when I was little. Good nostalgia.
Me too fun fact I had a Barney theme birthday party at my grandparents house back then when I was 2 years old in 97 I didn’t know I was being filmed I had Barney in Concert VHS
@@torianmcneill3794 I had a Barney birthday as a baby too! I think I still have all of the VHS tapes somewhere.
@@MelodyHayes I wish we could get those days back I still play I love you song occasionally the remake of the song talking about killing Barney is sad & atrocious those people need to be reported for promoting negativity it’s ridiculous
I was definitely a Barney kid, but having grown up in the early 90’s, I pretty much just had the TV show to be obsessed with. I remember having a cassette tape of the “greatest hits”, which included such gems as “If All the Raindrops Were Lemondrops and Gumdrops”, “The Kookaburra Song” and “Pumpernickel Bread” (these may not be the exact titles, but this is what I know them as…😅)
well i wasn’t expecting this
I loved Barney as a kid. It brings back memories of watching it on PBS kids before heading to daycare. And yes I understand the Barney to Power Rangers pipeline lol
Also that Barney from the 2010 show is very scary. It's giving Sonic the Hedgehog movie before the Internet bullied the studio to reanimate it
My favorite Barney songs are Mr. Knickerbocker, If All the Raindrops, and the I Love You Song.
You should really cover the Disney sing-a-longs at Disneyland. I remember the beach and camp ones super clearly.
He put all the sing-a-longs on youtube
Ya but I was hoping he would actually talk about them.
@@celinahaas5868 oh yeah I would like that
I probably shouldn't have watched this, but my mom has worked at PBS my whole life, so I felt a moral obligation to watch, come what may.
4:16 That part that made you laugh
P.s Yes I know I used this comment for the Teletubbies one, But I can't help it
I just have to say, when you get really excited and start laughing, it makes my day. Your videos are always so informative, but I mainly watch now because of your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work!
I was the epitome of a Barney kid! My parents still have a video of me when I was 2 years old FREAKING out with excitement because they had bought me the Barney cassette tape. I used to watch a bunch of the Barney VHS tapes but my favorite was definitely Waiting for Santa, and I would watch that all year round. I also went to a live Barney show when I was really young, like 2 and a half, and still to this day have some vague memories of it. Now I'm starting to show Barney to my young toddler!
You know...I was very little when I had myself infested with the magic of Barney and I still love him today. He has made me smile everytime I experience him for he not only is playful but very teaching in the best way with all the happiness I could have.
So in terms of the Barney costumes, my favorite kind of Barney costume is the late 2000's era of *Barney & Friends* looking a lot better and brighter-colored than ever. As if the costume was adjusted more with the BIGGEST smile yet, and it had even his tail hoisted higher. And so you see? Just something to love.
Like how the purple puppet shows up and thought Dan was going to talk about him😂🤣🤣 0:02
Barney was huge for me growing up, thanks for doing this! I completely forgot he was at Universal - I think by the time I actually went I was a tad old for it, but in retrospect I'd have loved a photo with my favourite purple dinosaur!
