'Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong' is a series that makes paleontology accessible to the general public using familiar (but wrong) dinosaur toys.
When you guys are gone for months at a time, I begin to believe all my dinosaurs are right.
I have quite a few wrong dinosaur toys, but I keep them for the childhood memories.
It was such an honor to see the dinosaur I made show up in this video. I'm so glad you liked it and appreciated the effort that went into such a tiny dinosaur Sculpture. Cheers!
If you have an Etsy page or something you must share it!! I need dinosaurs in my dollhouses
Seriously, do you sell? I'd totally buy some of your work!
Yeah, what's your Etsy page or website?
Timestamp?
@@yourmotherindisguise mine starts at 9:07 in the video
Man, imagine being some small time dinosaur toy maker, and you get a dropship order to Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong.
It's either a good-good thing, or a bad-bad thing XDD
The Parasaurolophus at 1:00:00 seems to be overwhelmed at the horror of it's own existence...
That’s a dilophosaurus
Oh that one that comes after it
Yea I agree
Those were mine! My younger brother sent all those in and showed me this video as a birthday gift, family nickname shoutout and all.
1:00:21
That last box was filled with some truly legendary specimens
Simply best tyrannosauris depiction ever.
I remember some of those; I think my younger brother had them.
Wow that Barney is genuinely terrifying
I'm going to be having therapy for months
Made all the worse by making it a solid gray. 🤢
@@blondbraid7986 Probably lost it's paint before Steven got a hold of it.
I started watching this before I went to bed and I swear to God I dreamed that I was telling a dromaeosaur that it shouldn't be pronating its hands...
Your response to the fan art was just pure joy, and as soon as that expression on the articulated ankylosaur came into focus I doubled over laughing. Wonderful mailbag, hope to see many of these toys show up again in episodes over the coming years.
Edit: okay holy crap that "overly caffeinated fellow"... I'm in tears!
Same - the “overly caffeinated fellow” had me giggling
That footage of Barney wasn't edited to look like that. It's just that cursed.
The frill holes on the sinoceratops, and indeed most details on most of the hideous creatures from the Jurassic World movies, make a lot more sense if you look at it from the perspective that they deliberately made the dinosaurs wrong out of spite. Because that is just about the only possible justification for putting big open holes in a sinoceratops frill.
1 hour of Mailbag. I'm fairly confident my package may be in there somewhere. Either you guys have an enormous backlog or you refused to cut out a LEGENDARY tangent. Either way, I am excited to see the contents of this behemoth for the channel.
I had that little green Polacanthus as a kid, and yes, that _is_ what it's meant to be.
I'm glad you liked it! I actually squealed out loud when you complimented my cycads. The dollar store near where I work has more where that Ouranosaurus came from.
I'm glad you liked the Giganotosaurus, Pentaceratops, and Edaphosaurus I sent. The first two weren't on the list of dinosaurs you already had, which is why I sent it. The Edaphosaurus was because you deserve at least one decent Edaphosaurus toy after receiving that horrid, Dimetrodon looking one in the last mailbag.
I've been pronouncing YDAW as "Why - Daw". It sounds better to my ears than "ya'- daw".
I like to mispronounce it as Yo Dawg on purpose.
Same here
I do it as YeeDaw
"EEEEE-DAW"
Y'know. Like a cowboy.
I like saying it like it's pronounced as "Why though?"
Me: sees a 1 hour video by YDAW
Also me: well shoot! Let me go grab some snacks!
Same XD
I'm so glad you know what the field museum smells like lol
The first Dinosaur documentary I remember seeing Giganotosaurus in pronounced it "jig-ah-no-to-saurus" and that's what I've used since.
I also admit to mentally pronounce your show's acronym as "Yi-daw".
One of my grad professors has that same weird duckbill and it haunts me
I do hope you mean he has the toy and not that your professor had an actual duckbill. I had fun imagining my own professors with duckbills either way, so thank you for the (unintended) mental image :p
adding geeganatasaurus and gIIgenotosaurus to the list of ways i've heard giganotosaurus
I use JIG-a-noe-toe-saurus.
@@dweebteambuilderjones7627 same
You pronounced Giganotosaurus in ways I've never heard lol. Usually it's kind of like the gigawatt/jigawatt from back to the future. But you single-handedly added three new pronunciations to it lol.
I have recently been watching old YDAW videos and have just finished the Therizinosaurus episode. While giant sloths are a good comparison, a modern counterpart could be the Giant Panda. Think, both are herbivores evolved from a lineage of carnivores, are large, slow and fuzzy and come armed with large claws.
I don’t know why I felt the need to comment this, I just found it interesting and thought someone else might too.
Therizinosaurs spent a much longer geologic time as herbivores compared to pandas.
I mean you can kind of say that about ground sloths too, seeing as most other xenarthids are insectivorous, meaning they're technically predaceous (though I'm not sure if the original one was or not).
The Pteranodon with his Ass up at 31:03 is freaking hilarious! Cant get the image of that thing skydiving with its butt presented like that out of my head. Just wow.
Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus - S.C.U.B.A.
I always hear the acronym YDAW in my head as “why-dhaw” like the letter Y and the sound you make when you see a puppy “dawwwww”
I've always.just said it as the letters lol
I usually say yee-dor
That sauropod toy at the very end... I use to have that exact one as a kid! It was one of my biggest dinosaur toys. Spent a lot of time stomping around in the mud. Thanks for the blast from the past!
My biggest dinosaur toy was an old Jurassic Park III Spinosaurus. I also have an old Roboraptor and a toy giraffe the length of my arm.
@@yourmotherindisguise those were mine at the end! I think I had that same JP3 spino too, big rubber thing? I used to bury it in my backyard and a week or two later I'd make an expedition to go out and fossil hunt for it.
Oh I remember bringing up Dinosaurs vs. Marsbots in the YDAW discord! The comic is looking really nice from what you can show and it's cool your show is being used as reference for it!
"Giganotosaurus (/ˌdʒaɪɡəˌnoʊtəˈsɔːrəs/ JY-gə-NOH-tə-SOR-əs)"
This is pretty similar to how I say it too, "Giga" as in "Gigantic", then no-ta-saurus.
Wikipedia has the wrong pronunciation for some reason.
Their source is, for some reason, the way a dictor pronounces it in a documentary?
Gi pronounced like gee in geek, but shorter. It's greek.
But I'm sure the animal wouldn't be offended so who cares.
In general, greek doesn't care much for letters position and combination.
G is g in every position.
Gamma that is.
You know something has gone horribly wrong when the carnivores are less scary looking than the parasaurolophus. Geez that thing’s gonna give me nightmares!
The Predator aliens are technically called Yajuta iirc.
The last Tyrannosaurus was gold.
Goodness me those last ones were incredibly cursed
Funny story, the binturong actually does smell like buttered popcorn.
17:34 The little green spiked dinosaur is a Polacanthus from an Italian Minifigures line made by Panini in the early 90's. The main inspiration for this one is the art of Neave Parker.
The Invicta Iguanodon at 54:50 is inspired by Neave Parker's art too.
I really like the Iguanodon, it looks like the one in the outro.
That weird mislabelled dromaeosaur reminds me of a "clearly an Ouranosaurus" toy I had growing up which for some reason had Spinosaurus written on its belly. If I get a chance to go back to the UK and into my parents loft, I'll try to send you that one, as it's a riot.
16:46 I have toys like that! It is indeed a _Polacanthus foxii_ . I actually thought it was a _Kentrosaurus_ as a kid before I read the name on the bottom.
I love these mail episodes
Same
One of your most entertaining videos ever, filled with some awesome observations such as "What a strange product!", "And this overly caffeinated fellow..." I found myself laughing out loud a good few times )) Thanks for this one
this video had me dying of laughter cuz some of these toys are just...
something else...
Oh my word. That last GIANT box with all the huge goofy dinos and blatantly wrong names was from my brother Douglas, Gaylord in the comments below. When I went to visit him and my parents for my birthday he showed me this video, and that phrase he had you read was a personal shout out with our goofy family nicknames. It was so awkward and SO sweet. Thank you to the whole team behind this dorky, cute, and informative show for reigniting my brother and I's love of paleontology.
Alright time for some backstory on Xtractaurs: they were a line by Mattel back in the mid 2000s and were hybrids before Jurassic World made them cool. You could take xtract their DNA using a DNA gun by plugging it into the black hole, use the website that you get with the T.rex, combine it with other Dinosaurs, and fight the evil Megavores, evil hybrid Dinosaurs. I played the game a lot and I was very sad when it ended.
Can someone please link the channel of the guy who created the comic?
I suppose smelling like popcorn butter isint that far fetched as odd as it is realistically, as we have the living binturong that smells like it. Also birds come in a variety of smells that owners will attest including popcorn. lol Just, not a sent Id pick for a scented toy that Id want to smell. That last box was a treasure, especially that last toy! XD I used to hate models like that, now Im starting to appreciate them for the hilarity they provide.
The Psittacosaurus is probably so surprised because it realized it's missing its tail filaments
So glad you got my package! (Nathan) Definitely looking forward to that up and coming video, very cool to see my old terrible hollow dinos in your video!
41:58 It looks like where’s my tail quills.
Whoops here's a pile of dinosaurs!
Your Dinosaur Island videos were my childhood!
I guess the psittacosaurus is surprised by its sudden severe case of mange... Poor thing got de-quilled. It kind of reminds me of Paranoid Parrot.
Amazing vid as always, when money is more available I'm going to send you a criolophosaurus to tear into
2:25 that’s obviously because
Three Horns don’t play with Long Necks!!!
I have the same expression as the ankylosaurus after you said 1987 is older than you in a surprised manner. 1987 was a very good year for things to come into this world.
I love that little silver Crystal Palace Iggy; shiny and tiny enough to be adorable. I would like to find one for myself :)
It came from shapeways which is a 3d printing website
I haven't seen a dinosaur or dino-adjacent that made me legitimately say "What the [heck] is that?!" but, what the [heck] is Nyctosaurus?!" :D
First time I’ve ever been early
Same
Me too
25:43 Apparently it's JI-ga-NOT-uh-saurus??
The Pteranodons clearly are preparing to land and use their knees to create flaps... very advanced!
The T Rex in the end was the funniest dinosaur ever made.
It's like a bipedal iguana with a huge mouth.
Also from 33:36 the pterosaur wasn't an Ornithocheirus. It's an Anheanguera, another type of Ornithocheirid.
Am I the only one laughing absurdly hard at the Parasaurolophus at 1:00:19? 😆😂🤣 Its face has the same disturbed expression as those horse masks but to an even more extreme level. "Oh fuck help me!"
I HAD that giant Ankylosaurus at the end, I used to chase my big brother menacingly with it.
The return of the king
This is such a good show, it’s both wholesome and educational.
I use the Papo Pentaceratops as a rest to prop my phone up against when I’m watching YDAW :)
*sniff* This smells like the field museum!
Mailbag episodes are always fun.
Omg I was so sure that YDAW on the thumbnails is supposed to be a pun for "Why though?" with all the dinosaur inaccuracies. accidental genius.
The weird literal duck bill toy reminded me of something called the "Geelong Bunyip" that was originally featured with a drawing in an old 1845 edition of the "Geelong Advertiser" news paper. You can Google it.
The bumps on a rhinoceros iguanas face kind of just develop pointed end at a certain size, and vary a lot by individual and sex. Males have more defined horns, and some of them can get downright ceratopsian in terms of how many horns they have.
So the toy might be accurate to a male rhinoceros iguana.
Also only the big horn has a bony core.
Mmm loving the red and green on that third iguanadon
1:01:50 OMG I had that toy as a kid and yes, mine said dilophosaurus, too! I thought for the longest time that that's what it's called and then, years later, when I found out it's actually called deinonychus, I just assumed I had remembered my toy wrong, like a Mandela effect, but no - the toy was in fact misnamed.
Barney in grey is pretty creepy looking.
btw the outro still says 2020 on it!
I think u guys need to invest in some scissors haha
Always a joy to watch tho 😂
I also pronounce it why-daw, which in my head kinda turns into a badly pronounced "Why though?" which seems like a reasonable reaction to a lot of the manufacturer's choices regarding the toys xD
That Cursed Withered Barney was from our collective darkest imagination.
Yus! New YDAW video
i only realized this was an hour long about 10 minutes into the video, oh boy! time to break out the popcorn.
This channel deserves so many more subscribers!
43:17 OH MY GOSH I literally own that exact weird Stegosaurus with the flat thagomiser!!!!!!
You really hit the jackpot with the giganotosaurus,
The first one was from Safari Ltd, and it’s 2017. One of the best models out there. While the colors are not that good, the actual detail can be shown with a good repaint
The second is from Safari Ltd’s old Carnegie line, and it’s much more rare. The colors are much better, and it’s a real good piece. You are very lucky to have one that could stand on its 2 legs. Very unlucky to have its fingers broken
I love it when you upload
29:38 That's just what all edaphosaurus depictions look like
I can’t wait for more YDAW episodes
Every time I see this channel I think "Yuh-daw" too.
8:42 Or... how about a spike the size of a mango?
Also, at 16:49, I'm pretty sure that's an old school Polacanthus.
I've been saying it as Why-Daw since I first found the show
That picture that that young man Drew of you teaching a class of dinosaurs, would go wonderfully on the front of a t-shirt. The art is perfect. That kids could make some money doing artwork for other channels
the "ornithocheirus" is Anhanguera
Awe, that fan art drawing was adorable.
My collection of screenshots of Steven holding dopey dinosaur toys grows even larger
I recognize so many of these toys and figs
14:10 I call your show "Wy-daw" for short myself :)
The rhinoceros iguana resembles the Iguanodon painted by George Scharf for Gideon Mantell's Reptiles Restored (1833).
According to a new phylogeny of Cerapodan dinosaurs 2020, all Heterodontosaurs were placed as a paraphyletic group at the base of Pachycephalosauria
14:45 I’ve always read it as “why-daw” in my head
I'm English and remember seeing the Crystal Palace iguanodon when I was little
"jig-uh not-uh saurus"
Holy shit! I had that stegosaurus toy as a kid!
11:50 Ah, good thing I watched this, I was debating sending you guys this exact one. ;)
Ooh sweet Iguanadon.
33:00 yes, they probably made a pteranodon with teeth wich is wrong, but now that we know the ludodactylus, we can retcon all toothed pteranodons to be actually ludodactylus
Yuhdaw is the way I say it as well 😂
