I don't remember subbing to you but I'm glad I did. Watching a grown bearded man play with toys for little girls made my life fulfilled. I can pass on now and join the force.
You know what I now want? Billiam Barbie reviews. The doll market has a Girl Tech side of its own, and back in the day, the thing was INTERACTIVE DOLLS. This led to the legendary Princess and the Pauper and Diamond Castle Barbies, who would interact and sing songs when placed near each other. This was twice as iconic as any of the colour-change-in-water Barbies, mainly because your parents now had to buy you two dolls. Oh, and the straight-to-video movie that was made to tie in with each doll, of course.
I had a ballerina Barbie where if you put on a bracelet and anklet, the Barbie would copy your movements and it even came with a dvd to "teach" you ballet
I had those Princess and the Pauper barbie dolls! They had like 3 audio tracks that would cycle and play when you pressed a button on their back. Only the "I'm just like you" song was a duet, but it was really neat because you pressed the buttons at the same time they synced up..
I was literally just talking about the Password Journal to my mom. That thing was more secure than Fort Knox. You wanted to get back into your super high tech journal to read your secret scribbles? Well then, you had to remember not just the password you chose - but EXACTLY how you said it when you first recorded it. The pitch for every syllable had to match or that journal was one time use.
I still own the "jam n shred" pen I had as a child. The pen does not work anymore, the batteries died so I cut off the incredibly short earbud, BUT the tiny shredder is GREAT for shredding the labels from prescription bottles
As a kid I had the stylin studio girl tech toy and it was one of the few times I would take pictures of myself, I used it and those disney plug and play games all the time and it brings back such strong memories of sitting on the floor in front of my mom's bed putting a bad wig jpg on a horribly grainy selfie of myself. I love these girl tech videos so much, can't wait for the 6 hour lost sequel.
It's actually because of the audio. In this case both audio chanells are inverted making a inside your head felling to the narration. I consecuente on mono connections the waves cancel each other out making a wired silence
It really is interesting how many girl toys are marketed around the idea that the people in you life and house WILL invade your privacy any chance they get.
I remember that the sibling angle of all these tech toy ads made me hate being an only child (and I never had a password journal, because I never had a sibling from whom to hide my innermost thoughts). I did have an iZone, though!
I had a little brother but he could not have cared less about my stupid nonsense so here I sat with the journal like "oh... Well who's it supposed to keep out then?" Then I realized the voice recognition was bollocks and I just sat there thinking, "oh, it keeps ME out."
I’m still so jealous that you actually have a Hasbro Dream Life console, that was the only “video game” I had as a kid and now I can’t find any for under $100 lol. I adore your girl tech toy videos, It makes up for having 5 brothers who always clowned on my hyper feminine interests ❤️ So excited to watch
I had been searching for while for a Dream Life to record for my channel and I managed to find one that was $50 one day- I scooped it up so fast. They’re usually over $100 from what I can find, but don’t give up! Never know when the right deal comes along. 😁
Thrift stores and second hand selling sites are good places to look and keep checking. Some people have old stuff they don’t realize is pricey now. Like original Yu-Gi-Oh duel disks are pretty pricey (100-300$) these days but I found one for 75$ and have had friends find them at goodwill for cheap. Just gotta keep an eye out ✨
@@KingOfGaymes Yes! I found a super random site with a couple people selling Miuchiz handhelds (I had been looking for actual months) and found one for like $27?! Gotta be patient for sure lol
Okay so I work for a toy manufacturing company that makes merch for Universal Parks and seeing our big ass Badtz Maru plush getting the love it deserves made me ridiculously happy
I laughed way too hard when you punched the poor protector pet 🤣🤣 Ngl this video brings back nostalgia for the days when I wanted a password journal (and still do cuz I never had one ehe). The commercial was so fresh in my mind still after so long.🤣 I was a tomboy growing up so I used to hate "girl stuff" but I couldn't help but want these girl tech toys every darn time 🤣
The one I had was a spy toy that looked like a purple CD case. You could listen in on conversations with the inbuilt microphone and use the pen and paper inside to write it all down. Man I loved that thing. I hope it shows up in another of these vids!
Listen, Billothy, I watched the first Lost video several times. I then proceeded to binge the entire series over the course of a week after having never seen it. I don't remember where I was going with this.
Thank you! I don't use headphones on my laptop (only a single Bluetooth speaker because the laptop speakers are garbage), and I had no idea what was going on. lol
I recently came across a strange plush from the 80's I believe that has a full radio inside it, with the dials sticking out of the chest! it looks like a licensed character, with a plastic face and weird star-shaped antennae, but I haven't been able to find any trace of it anywhere online! it's really cool though, and made me dig into more plush radios
Honestly could just be a novelty radio for kids. Star shaped antenna are just a thing that exists. It is a way of maximizing surface area for the antenna but keeping it in a compact shape.
@@dstinnettmusic I know it's just a novelty radio, but I still want to know what company made it, maybe a year it was made! And the antenna isn't in the ears, though it's clearly an inspiration there.
Thanks for taking me back to my childhood with every video you post man. I was a huge scannerz fan, digimon fan and half the toys you talk about were commercials that left me drooling or laughing my ass off in the 90s/00s
6:03 and thus with that dare, they would tell Michael Stevens he is cute which would give him the confidence to start his own youtube channel which today we call "Vsauce"
Probably when voice recording, they made the mono track to stereo and set one channel to invert the signal. When your phone have stereo speaker, you can hear its voice but kinda tinny but if your phone only have a single speaker it will sum both channel to make it mono but the stereo track on voice have inverted the other channel so it cancels out. Try to use headphone or stereo speakers
I totally remember the I-Zone camera, I even owned it at one point back in the early 2000’s. The photos started to fade pretty quickly shortly after they were taken tho.
Honestly, your content is so genuinely interesting that I'm okay with you uploading so slowly. Because there's only so many interesting things out there, and the faster you do them the less there is to do. I don't want that. Also uploading slowly hopefully helps with your mental health, which is the biggest factor for me.
11:10 I still have that egg player, mine is white with a green ring. I used that crackly player to record music from TH-cam to have on the go when I was young.
I really got excited when I saw you in my Subs! So glad to see you back and another awesome video! Was always jealous of girls who had some of these toys growing up, though I had female friends who said they were jealous of us boys for having things like Action Man (G.I. Joe for you guys in America)
you know the kind of drunk people that tell everybody around that they are their best friends? well i kinda missed you. i like your content. it is relaxing.
Ok so I haven't visited this channel at all aside from watching the digimon reviews like four years ago. Has Billiam always been this adorable and fun to watch?
oh my god, I have an i-zone camera!!! it's a pink hello kitty one! I got it when I was 4 and and used it until I was 6 when they discontinued the film :'( my fridge still has a couple of the little Polaroids; they used to sell little magnetic "frames" to display them and I still have one (the rest are just behind normal magnets, lol) here's to hoping that eventually some company starts making the film again, I'd love to see you taking the photobooth out for a phootshoot!
THE PLAY IT NOW. I've been looking for that toy for years. THAT'S the one I had. I was gonna talk about it on this channel actually, can't believe you found it first.
7:38 see, that was a slight breach of etiquette. You skipped the triple dare, and went right for the throat with the triple dog dare. This is generally frowned upon in American schoolyards. Yes I have A Christmas Story memorized, why do you ask?
So great that you can share this with your viewers and share the sweet experiences of Truth or dare with your friends. I love when you talk about tech toys. I was given a school issued Alhpa smart when I was in middle school. My handwriting was terrible and I needed a alternative way to do schoolwork. It certainly wasn't very advanced but it was cool to have it at the time! If you could look it up and make a video about its history, I'd love to see it!

I never got back into mine ever again 💀
Could just pry it open with brute force. It’s what I used to do to my sister’s
@@mango_sheikh786 I'm picturing a ten year old kid ripping that plastic diary open while screaming as if he's ripping a phone book in half
@@GigaDonk99 it was surprisingly easy to pry open. Girltech should’ve really invested more in making their merch brother-proof
Then you hit puberty and you can never get in again
ah, I love the sweet smell of Billiam toy reviews in the morning
Smells like depression and nostalgia addiction from a lack of satisfaction elsewhere in life.
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 At least it's not the bad nostalgia of "new media bad old media good".
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 you can leave if you're not having fun
Love your channel bro lol
vailskibum⁉️
I still own the "jam n shred" pen I had as a child. The pen does not work anymore, the batteries died so I cut off the incredibly short earbud, BUT the tiny shredder is GREAT for shredding the labels from prescription bottles
This is a great review because I’m looking for a portable shredder
I'd genuinely watch an entire stream of Billiam playing truth or dare with his friends for two hours.
Guess you'll have to simulate having real friends in some other way....
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 Time to literally buy me some new friends with money.
@@Fanuc_Operator1990 Some of us do have friends, but streams like that are nice when the world is getting pretty dystopian by the day
You Zoomers have such low expectations for your lives.
@@topogigio7031 What does this have to do with my comment
I’m so glad you’ve given a platform to give all the random tech based toys of the 2000s a time to shine
As a kid I had the stylin studio girl tech toy and it was one of the few times I would take pictures of myself, I used it and those disney plug and play games all the time and it brings back such strong memories of sitting on the floor in front of my mom's bed putting a bad wig jpg on a horribly grainy selfie of myself. I love these girl tech videos so much, can't wait for the 6 hour lost sequel.
Yeah, honestly, I can see Skeletor doing all of these things
Brought back great memories of breaking in my sisters voice locked journal, just to find some squished Halloween candy & no journal.
I feel like I’m an amnesiac sleeper agent and Billiam is the interrogator unlocking pieces of my past I didn’t remember
I cant really tell if the silent raycon ad read was intentional or not
Yea i was wondering that too. Im thinking he mightve had copyrighted music and just muted it as a quick fix
You're just not wearing the headphones
It's actually because of the audio. In this case both audio chanells are inverted making a inside your head felling to the narration. I consecuente on mono connections the waves cancel each other out making a wired silence
.......AND AN UNBEATABLE 54 HOUR BATTERY LIFE....
Watch out, they must be subliminal messages to make you buy raycons
It really is interesting how many girl toys are marketed around the idea that the people in you life and house WILL invade your privacy any chance they get.
As someone who grew up as a little girl... They definitely did😂
That's girl life. Just people helping themselves to your autonomy until you have no choice but to arm yourself against them
I remember that the sibling angle of all these tech toy ads made me hate being an only child (and I never had a password journal, because I never had a sibling from whom to hide my innermost thoughts). I did have an iZone, though!
I remember having a password journal and I was an only child so I would invent a nosy little brother that I was keeping secrets from 🤣
YES, my best friend’s older brother was a goddamn SAINT in hindsight, cuz as an only child I needed someone to torment apparently
I had a little brother but he could not have cared less about my stupid nonsense so here I sat with the journal like "oh... Well who's it supposed to keep out then?"
Then I realized the voice recognition was bollocks and I just sat there thinking, "oh, it keeps ME out."

There's an emulator project of old plug n play games that includes dream life! If you just want to play it again, it's completely free
Okay so I work for a toy manufacturing company that makes merch for Universal Parks and seeing our big ass Badtz Maru plush getting the love it deserves made me ridiculously happy
I love Billiam’s growing collection of Sanrio items
I laughed way too hard when you punched the poor protector pet 🤣🤣
Ngl this video brings back nostalgia for the days when I wanted a password journal (and still do cuz I never had one ehe).

Funfact! During the ad segment, Billiam’s voice only works on the left headphone. For some sick jazz music, just listen to it with the right headphone
Thank you! I don't use headphones on my laptop (only a single Bluetooth speaker because the laptop speakers are garbage), and I had no idea what was going on. lol
And if you don't have that and are just using a phone speaker, you will only get jazz! So fun! (I was legit looking for a comment about this)
THANK U i only use my right headphone most of the time so i was so confused
Wow a raycon commercial I can stand watching!
Edit: Im glad you reposted this I missed it the first time you posted it
Put headphones in and only listen to it with the right earbud
I love how so many things in the 90's and early 2000's came with the AM/FM radio and terrible headphones
I recently came across a strange plush from the 80's I believe that has a full radio inside it, with the dials sticking out of the chest! it looks like a licensed character, with a plastic face and weird star-shaped antennae, but I haven't been able to find any trace of it anywhere online! it's really cool though, and made me dig into more plush radios
@@tamagothchic Possibly, though all the tags and markings are in english
Honestly could just be a novelty radio for kids.

I wanna see that radio in action pal.
@@ExtremeWreck I've got videos! I've posted him a bit on tiktok if you'd like the account name
Spitting straight fax in that sponsored segment
Digidigido was very sweet.
But Fiona digivolving murdered me in the humor bone and kept me laughing for a minute.
It never occurred to me how many toys after 9/11 were marketed as "security" and "surveillance" play things
Damn everyone was buggin
Interesting!
gotta get em early if they were gonna accept cameras on red lights and stuff like that
@@michaelgjrjvebs who are you presuming did this?
Doesn’t it seem more likely that the entire country was traumatized and had security on the brain?
I actually never realized that
15:47 "That's a look"
For reals man, Billiam's Kid Rock cosplay be stylin'
I remember wanting a Girl Tech toy when I was a kid. Don't think I ever got one
Same. I was more into stuff that was considered for boys like Pokémon and Power Rangers, but I remember REALLY wanting that password journal lol
The Pochacco shirt it’s simply... CHEF’S KISS 😚
Billiam! I'm so hype to see you back! Can't wait for the Lost vid!
Spy toy commercials unironically taught kids how to duck authority and hide skulduggery. 10/10 based products .
Love Billiam channeling Grunkle Stan for those double dares
Holy crap, seeing the talkboy FX brought back some memories. I always wanted one of those as a kid!
Thanks for taking me back to my childhood with every video you post man. I was a huge scannerz fan, digimon fan and half the toys you talk about were commercials that left me drooling or laughing my ass off in the 90s/00s
I always wanted these these growing up- your reviews are the sauce 😆
Gotta love how with mono sound (only got one earbud working rn) the whole add break is unhearable
6:03 and thus with that dare, they would tell Michael Stevens he is cute which would give him the confidence to start his own youtube channel which today we call "Vsauce"
that pochacco shirt is dope.
Glad to have ya back!
Love the content, keep being this productive and overall creative :)
Love the bot replies 🤯
That shredding pen brought back memories I didn't even knew I had.
Best Raycon ad ever.
10/10 did not skip
As a GYIIIIIRL I really appreciate this!! So nostalgic, thank you & glad to have you back !!!
You Zoomers are regressing women's rights.
HOLY SHIT 500K?!
Something special about seeing great content get it's recognition
Honestly hope the silent raycon ad was intensional because I usually skip the ads, but that confusion made me watch it 👏👏👏
Same, I’ve been looking for comments about it
Probably when voice recording, they made the mono track to stereo and set one channel to invert the signal. When your phone have stereo speaker, you can hear its voice but kinda tinny but if your phone only have a single speaker it will sum both channel to make it mono but the stereo track on voice have inverted the other channel so it cancels out.
Try to use headphone or stereo speakers
I guess they got his password journal after all :(
Welcome back Brother Billiam
I love this and I also can't wait to see your next Lost video. The first one really made me remember how much I loved that show.
Thank you.
a joyful video with someone like Billiam is... it's a good mood changer.
thank you for dropping something.
So hyped for new lost video 🙌🏽
I totally remember the I-Zone camera, I even owned it at one point back in the early 2000’s. The photos started to fade pretty quickly shortly after they were taken tho.
Dude I wanted the styling thingy one so baaaad! I'm so jealous of billiam
I like the fact I can't hear the Raycon sponsor but I can hear the rest of the video
Lmaooo me too! That's so rayconcore
I’m hyped for the second Lost video
Honestly, your content is so genuinely interesting that I'm okay with you uploading so slowly. Because there's only so many interesting things out there, and the faster you do them the less there is to do. I don't want that.
Also uploading slowly hopefully helps with your mental health, which is the biggest factor for me.

god i'm so excited for a 5 hour video. I am addicted to those
I loved your lost videos. i've been watching your stuff all day. It's really good stuff. The add in the was beautiful 😊
Glad to see this back up
I fell off my couch, screaming “NEW BILLIAM” when I saw this in my recommendations
BRO THE CAR WITH THE CAMERA. so many memories just came flooding back
man my friend has a protector pet but we didn't know what it was for a long time and we just assumed it was a bootleg idog
I got a PlayItNow for Christmas in 2003. That was my favorite toy ever!!!
Cannot wait for the lost video. You're the reason i started watching it lol
Never thought I'd see Karrisa on billiam but im so happy
11:10 I still have that egg player, mine is white with a green ring. I used that crackly player to record music from TH-cam to have on the go when I was young.
oh hey ive seen this one its a classic!
"what do you mean, its brand new"
Fireflies sped up sounds like an old ringtone from a flip phone.
That raycon ad actually creeped me out with no Audio
it made me wanna buy them even more!
I thought it was a clever gag at first
It's scawee
No one talking about the amazing raycon ad, fantastic!
Love this channel so much! Nostalgic tech and gaming is what got me into starting my channel and it lead me to yours, and I’m glad I found it!
I AM SO HYPED FOR THE LOST VIDEO!!!
I really got excited when I saw you in my Subs!
So glad to see you back and another awesome video!
Was always jealous of girls who had some of these toys growing up, though I had female friends who said they were jealous of us boys for having things like Action Man (G.I. Joe for you guys in America)
Billiam I love your videos so much please don't ever stop
SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW LOST VIDEO!
Billiam, one of the few creators that i will stop and replay the commercial with headphones this time, to see what I'm missing!
They even got Billiam
Been checking the chennel at least once a week to see if there's a new video, idk what it is but I can't get enough of your content
Yay lost video!!!! Been waiting for so long!!!!
I had a Hello Kitty iZone as a kid that I was OBSESSED with. I still have it on display because I love it so much.
omg i love karissaeats
8:15 i NEED a jug like that. imagine the hydration
The Ramona Flowers MONDO!! You have the best Scott Pilgirim Stuff!

@@MaleWAMFan290 damn more like owl shitty
Ok so I haven't visited this channel at all aside from watching the digimon reviews like four years ago. Has Billiam always been this adorable and fun to watch?
I had that truth or dare machine!! I completely forgot it existed. I think I mostly played with it by myself though haha
oh my god, I have an i-zone camera!!! it's a pink hello kitty one! I got it when I was 4 and and used it until I was 6 when they discontinued the film :'(

here's to hoping that eventually some company starts making the film again, I'd love to see you taking the photobooth out for a phootshoot!
"Call Michael Stevens and tell him he's cute" Man, girl commercials were even more cringy than boy commercials.
You don't know the half of it. Look up the commercial for the board game Mall Madness.
I'm distracted by the fact this is about a Michael Stevens, like Vsauce.
@@amesstarline5482 i’m surprised you’re the first person in the comments to point this out.
THE PLAY IT NOW. I've been looking for that toy for years. THAT'S the one I had.
I was gonna talk about it on this channel actually, can't believe you found it first.
Ah No dude not Billiam too! These bloody hackers!
i had the shredder/pen/radio, i loved it, i craved destruction and radio static
Billiam out here rockin that Pochacco drip
I made a really funny comment when this was first uploaded yesterday and now it's gone.
You owe me, Billiam.
Ok, now you gotta tell me what it was
We believe you Pear please don’t do anything drastic
That was the best raycon ad I've ever not heard
7:38 see, that was a slight breach of etiquette. You skipped the triple dare, and went right for the throat with the triple dog dare. This is generally frowned upon in American schoolyards.
Yes I have A Christmas Story memorized, why do you ask?
Next billiam episode: hacking in to the fbi with nerf
I wake up every morning hoping that today is the day we’ll be getting the 5 hour LOST video. The wait will be worth it!
Thx Billiam! New video made my day :)
So great that you can share this with your viewers and share the sweet experiences of Truth or dare with your friends. I love when you talk about tech toys. I was given a school issued Alhpa smart when I was in middle school. My handwriting was terrible and I needed a alternative way to do schoolwork. It certainly wasn't very advanced but it was cool to have it at the time! If you could look it up and make a video about its history, I'd love to see it!
