i truly believe being a kid in the 2000s was the best time to be one. we got the last round of toys where the companies put effort into them instead of spitting out garbage. plus, we had well developed internet activities as an extra source of entertainment. i am not saying other times were not good but after watching this, i feel so grateful for being alive during such a great time.
I totally agree with you; I often find myself feeling sorry for the kids of today when I see all the garbage they’re exposed to through toys and tv and the internet However, I do believe that are some diamonds in the rough out there today, for example, the tv show Amphibia is pretty good
We werent given tablets or smartphones as toddlers to stay distracted... we had video games that did not require microtransactions, you had to put effort to unlock *new things.. No major social media platforms.. what a time to be alive.
Something I've noticed, is that Gen Z overthinks EVERYTHING. Myself included, I swear things are so simple, but then we come across it like "this HAS to mean something." I think it's the internet tbh, all the theories and communities surrounding finding things out, a lot of doors have been opened, and it seems we won't stop until we've gone through all of them, no matter how bizarre, mundane, or just silly. We also have an obsession not only with "weird" things, but the concept and lifestyle of being "weird" as well, probably for similar reasons. Also, if you feel nostalgia for any of this, I'd like to kindly remind that it's 100% normal and even expected, it's not a strange or weird sense of nostalgia, it's just that nostalgia is a weird feeling anyways. Sorry for the novel
@@bowsmed Ive always been the type of kid to come up with conspiracy theories when I was younger. I didn’t have people that thought like me unfortunately.People thought I was weird, even my parents thought I was crazy. It turns out that alot of the stuff I was woke to was actually true.
I would also say it’s not limited to just gen z. I’d argue this affects a good 80% of millennials too with the exception being maybe the absolute oldest of millennials who were more likely to not have internet access during their younger years.
I legit almost cried watching this, as someone born in early 2001, I remember/was around for all of these. Time goes by way too fast man... great video!
Some of the stuff I never been around but I think I have shared nostalgia if that’s a thing Edit: I think I might have seen all of it at one point in my life
At first I was like “9/11? Why is that on the iceberg?!” but it probably had the most significant and somber effect on our entire generation… We may have been too young to remember that day (or not even born yet) but no one can forget the annual memorials held at school for everyone that we lost. It was so hard to not cry when re-watching the footage of the attacks every year. I feel like we grew up with that horror and dread always at the back of our minds. Or maybe it’s just me.
The “grandfather killed” almost had me crying cause there were so many people that were fucked up from 9/11 but a kid learning that his grandpa has died has to be some of the most heart hurting thing
I know why everyone has the same memory of waking up to George Lopez….. That’s all Nick at Night played. They used any excuse they had to marathon that show. Christmas? George Lopez marathon! Fourth of July? George Lopez Marathon! Your cat died? Guess what…. GEORGE LOPEZ MARATHON!!!!!
Coming from someone that was born in 2004 and grew up with all of this stuff + more, it's so weird to think of it now as "old" when back then it was just the norm. I miss these days because it was when I was truly the happiest, but the good thing is that we can look back at it and still hold those memories close to us and have hope we can feel that way again someday :]
@@SonicBoom1024 nah don’t worry i was born in 2004 and i feel the exact same as you! this year we are turning 18 so like watching this i felt so sad knowing soon i’m not even a kid and will never experience these things again

I wish I can go back in the 2000s. Even though Im from late 2000s/2010s, I was young & saw the 2000s as edgy & somewhat mature. I just want to get to know the decade better.
Growing up in the 90’s, I feel quite the opposite 😆 I know about 90% of this (minus y2k, Nintendo wii, Windows XP- although I was raised on Win 96- GTA San Andreas, that’s so raven, hurricane Katrina, etc.) because of my little brother and my friends’ younger siblings, heh. I did have a Razr in high school, but my first phone was that old Nokia with Snake on it. God, I remember wanting a Sidekick so bad (like all the Cool Kids) but we didn’t have T-Mobile 🥲 “Waking up to George Lopez” made me cackle audibly... like Wait, What?! ~BaCk iN mY dAy~ it was the Cosby Show 😅 tldr you weren’t missing anything;)
When it comes to the empty stores and stuff it gives a weird feeling because it feels familiar. I have to a Toy-R-Us store but seeing one empty is familiar and chilling to see it empty, the vibe of the void.
Yeah that whole liminal spaces/backrooms niche freaks the hell out of me bcecause it’s so real but at the same time like………terrifying. It’s almost like symbolic for how lost I feel sometimes idk it’s weirddddd
My old school took away the book fair and replaced it with some shitty thing called like the book bus that only had books and no fun stuff in it and we all hated it and I remember one time I was in the car with my brother and we saw the bus and I remember we joked about wanting to key the thing
I feel like there were quite a few things missed and random ones added in. It's to be expected though because there's just so much to cover in the 2000s. Vine didn't come out until 2013. I'm Blue was a 1998 song. Neopets and Webkinzwere a pretty big craze back in the 2000s. Same with Kidz Bop, Snuggie, Shockwave, ZooPals, memory cards for consoles etc to name a few.
@@MEOWMIX3DS Yeah, not from the U.S, so didn't get most of the american stuff. But I do remember the major ones like Eurobeat, Flip Phones and Flash Games!
I started teaching elementary school level in 1999 -- almost all of these things brought back memories of the students I taught in the 2000's. I took away a lot of silly bandz from kids that were arguing over them. I remember playing the education games on Windows XP on Fridays.
2005 kid here. i remember when i first got on social media around the age of 10 or 11 when the 90s nostalgia was at its highest and wondering when it would be OUR turn - when the 2000s kids would get to feel nostalgia like they did. turns out that our turn is right now.
me too lmao. i remember when they played George Lopez, The Nanny, Mr Cooper and Full House for months straight in the mornings before school. It was great lol
I genuinely started tearing up when you talked about liminal spaces. The joyful times spent in the now deserted places will never happen again, and it just struck my emotional heart hard 😭
Honestly it was and I love that I grew up with it compared to late 2018 it seems boring only tik tok and kid friendly youtubers all being cardboard cut outs and the same old roblox games or Fortnite just doesn’t compare. Unlike now we had a lot of variety in a lot of things and creativity to it but now it just feels stale and honestly this makes me really appreciate being born in the early 2000’s
@@baumber1919 you just have to... Go find stuff. Interesting stuff literally never left, you just have to put in a minimal amount of effort to find it.
I think the waking up to George Lopez themesong was because that thing was so much louder than anything else on TV. It was like hearing an atom bomb go off.
Born in 99, this iceberg totally nailed growing up in the 2000s. I'm from the UK and was surprised to even hear the comment about PE teachers using Black Eyed Peas, we used to have a guy come to our school who made us do warm up and cool down stretches to Where is the love omg!
this video means so much to me because 2000s are literally my life. i was born in 2002 and unfortunately i only have a vague memory of that time in my head, thus i really don't know how was life like back then. i wish i was a millennial so i could remember all of this vividly and experience much more. i really don't belong in the present times, tbh it's so depressing and fr i cannot even picture myself anywhere but in the 2000s. i try to create a simulation of the 2000s by bringing all those things back and surround myself with them, but i feel like an alien. nobody really gets that and i feel so alone and misunderstood.
I don't want to be that person but you really need to move on, you've got to remember that you're only viewing the 2000s with rose tinted glasses because it was your childhood when in reality, life was arguably harder back then than it is now due to 9/11, the war on terror, great financial crash, hurricane katrina etc. You should be looking forward to the future as the 2000s will never come back and that's a pill you have to swallow. Why not focus on making the 2020s something great especially as the whole y2k aesthetic is already coming back as fashionable so at least now you can experience the 2000s while still enjoying today's luxuries
The Gorge Lopez one is a different one, for me it was me watching Cartoon Network and then waking up a few hours seeing the animated show, Clerks on Adult Swim
Everyone has the same George Lopez memory for two reasons, 1. It was all that was played on nick at nite after like 10pm and 2. Because the theme song was loud as fuck and would wake you up if you fell asleep watching nick cartoons
Breath Machine is also knowm as Trance 009 Sound System Dreamscape edit: i remember watching monster house as a kid and tbh it didnt feel creepy at all. i actually enjoyed the movie, probably because i was super exposed to horror movies. seeing it in this iceberg feels so nostalgic, especially the monster house video game as well. its an absolute childhood classic
The 2000s is my gateway to my happy place since I have so many fond and vivid memories of them that I don’t want to let go. I’m now 18 and looking back to all of these memories including after 2010 showing how I was so happy at the time.
As a person who was born since 2004 and grew up most of these lists, Good lord... I wish I could turn back the time when Flash games, Armor games, A10, Nitrome , Arcadprehacks , Y8, FRIV , Not doppler games were trending. Climbing tree with my friends as typical Filipino kids, Tagu-taguan, When you get 5 pesos you are so happy as if you won in the lottery. catching several tadpoles in the river, crossing rivers, Swimming in the river, patintero, bente-uno, war games, sumpak, tirador, Jejemon era, giyomi, FlipTop, flip phones and many many more
Same goes for Harry Potter. I think the idea of using religion to fearmonger people is crossing the line. I highly recommend you to watch the animated short film called "The Backwater Gospel".
Why did they even show those creepy PSAs in the first place? I mean, I get that workplace safety and staying away from drugs are good lessons, but why did they show on websites and TV channels that kids watched? Just why?
This video just hits different. Wish we got full entries about: Rickroll Nyan Cat Zoopals Those books that had photoshopped images of mythical creatures like bigfoot and the chupacabra next to humans for scale, and a description of them (idk the name) Toonami CN Real Those Disney Channel crossovers (as part of the intros) The Disney screen that had Tinkerbell flying around and an upbeat song playing (not the castle scene) The Wiggles Wow Wow Wubbzy and Oswald (am I the only one that remembers these?) (in addition to the weird side of YT) that one video with the ice cream person eating from their head Superbowl commercials A man has fallen into a river in Lego City commercial That one cart with an old VCR the teachers would pull out to watch a movie on in school Blockbuster Boomerang (the tv channel) ...and many more I can't think of at the moment
@@everegenx Cool book, but that's not it. I remember it being a long book (physically, not pages) with a black paperback cover and some sort of realistic wolf-like creature on it with an open mouth full of sharp teeth.
Ah, I remember some childhood commercials like zoopals thats the only one i could think of, and watching old youtube videos in 2010s. That restores all childhood memories
2001 Baby here. No one tells you about these parts of adulthood. The nostalgic parts. Remembering childhood. Everyone always says you rlly don’t want to grow up like you say you do but we don’t realize what that means until we are in that position now as adults. Life is crazy man...
It was really fun (and sometimes disturbing and scary) to go through this...~ It's so good to know so many people remember the things I do from my childhood. While I'm happy with my current life and accept that I can make new memories to be nostalgic over, this video brought me back to someplace deep... a time of innocence. I miss that time. Thank you for making this video. I really, genuinely liked it. ♥
Despite being born in 2009 i can kinda relate to some of these like the wii and PS2, diary of a wimpy kid, drama shows and more and more!!!!!! Edit: flash games are my childhood too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) you’re my favourite iceberg youtuber (:
this iceberg made me remember a lot of things, which is great because i dont remember things well enough bcs of my constant brain fog. except for the western or america centric stuff though.
I actually still have a Windows XP laptop but I upgraded the systems into Windows 7, I remembered before I upgraded the systems that the computer is so slow but instead of going on the Internet, I went on to play Space Cadet, the nostalgia on is real 😌
Dude I was so fascinated going on that side of TH-cam back then and now I still haven’t changed😂 I was born in the middle on the 2000s so I only have like breef memories of that side of the internet
I remember a large majority of these. My sister having been born in 95’ and I in 05’ she introduced me to a lot of things on the Internet as I was growing up. Many of these things I was probably too young for at the time but I’m glad I was shown most of these by her, otherwise I likely wouldn’t feel the nostalgia behind most of them. I also remember loving the shit out of creepypastas from age 8-13, I used to read them obsessively.
1996 isn't Gen Z though. If you look it up, the Pew Reasearch and the American Census Bureau have officially put them as the last of the Millenials with 1997 being the start of Gen Z. I was also born in 1996 but I always hated the late 2000s. I loved the very late 90s and early 2000s and grew up with the Powerhouse and CN City eras of Cartoon Network and pretty much stopped watching cartoons when the Noods era came out and killed off Ed, Edd, N Eddy.
One day it will. The people born in the 80's are, by in large, in control of a lot of the media and it has been around for longer (obviously) soon enough that 80's nostalgia will drift to 90's (which is already slowly happening) and later on it will be the early 2000's as well.
lmao I remember finding a box full of silly bands in the back of the school bus. My guess is that they were confiscated just because back then the teachers would say it was a distraction
Pillow pets started coming back around last year because of the strawberry cow and how they’re now starting to kinda do requests like how they made a Appa pillow
When the crazy frog entry came up, it sparked a memory from yearrrss ago that I saw a crazy frog whack-a-mole game in a Walmart arcade while I was waiting for my mom to check our groceries out. I THINK I played it but I can barely remember, I think the moles were the frogs or robots that hunted them down. Did anyone else see or play these?
Duuuuuude you just unlocked some of my memories right now lol. I remember playing one of these back in 2015 or something, in an arcade on my city's mall. I wonder if it's still there after all this time...
Your channel is an absolute blessing! I love your videos. Regarding liminal spaces, I really recommend you watch Solar Sand's video about it, it's very creepy but pretty much sums it up.
As a 13 year old kid I can confirm, Pokémon cards are still a big thing at many schools. Also even though I was born in 2008 I can relate to like 70% of these.
I remember a book that was similar to a Where's Waldo book. It was the same concept: looking for stuff in pictures. It was Christmas-themed. It may have even been made by the same people. One of the images was of a forest of candy canes, one with vertical stripes instead of spiral ones and a word bubble that said "Something must have gone wrong"; another one with polka dots instead of stripes and a word bubble that said "I'm not myself today"; and a small one that was pure white and had a word bubble that said "I'm too young to have stripes." That book also had a picture of elves making wreathes on a sort of assembly line, and another one of multiple Santas on different roofs, all of which had word bubbles which said "I'm not real" except for one, whose word bubble said "I'm real." I wish I remembered the title of the book. Does this sound familiar to any of you?
Breath machine ( 6:05 ) is legitimately the most nostalgic sound of all time. Will never forget watching shitty “waluligi in super Mario 64 ds” videos with the blue screen and text explaining the bullshit and this song blasting in the background, before like a year ago you have no idea how hard I looked for this songs existence.
Its so weird going to a mall now and seeing closed stores everywhere and like 5 people. I remember back when I used to go to them when I was 12 when they'd be filled to the brim with people. Me and my friends used to go the cat adoption center and just look at them for hours.

Honestly it was and I love that I grew up with it compared to late 2018 it seems boring only tik tok and kid friendly youtubers all being cardboard cut outs and the same old roblox games or Fortnite just doesn’t compare. Unlike now we had a lot of variety in a lot of things and creativity to it but now it just feels stale and honestly this makes me really appreciate being born in the early 2000’s
@@baumber1919 you just have to... Go find stuff. Interesting stuff literally never left, you just have to put in a minimal amount of effort to find it.
Nope. It was just another decade...
I would say that 2000s is third nostalgic golden decade (80s,90s,00s)
I'm crying because this iceberg hits my nostalgia so hard. I was born 93' but the 2000s were a huge part of my childhood and teen years.
That’s because most of this stuff is from Millennial’s childhood.
I think the waking up to George Lopez themesong was because that thing was so much louder than anything else on TV. It was like hearing an atom bomb go off.
This is weirdly nostalgic for me
You don't say
Oh really?
How is that weird?
Nice pfp bro
Why is it weirdly nostalgic? It's been over 11 years, so it could just be nostalgic. Something you did last week could be nostalgic.
Fun fact: "Numa Numa" is actually a romanian song that's called "Dragostea din tei" by O-zone
I used to blast the song like all the time.
We know. Most of us know....
@@roxassora2706 i didn't? to be fair i am not a smart man but still
Yep! and the Numa Numa video was popular before TH-cam even existed
I grew up in Gen-Z a bit around it and this might be one of my favorite icebergs
This is probably one of my favorite icebergs. I really liked the Liminal Space references and entry! I would be excited to see a Part 2.
I really like how this guy gives effort on making iceberg videos
This Iceberg was really nostalgic too me. Awesome video!
Born in 99, this iceberg totally nailed growing up in the 2000s. I'm from the UK and was surprised to even hear the comment about PE teachers using Black Eyed Peas, we used to have a guy come to our school who made us do warm up and cool down stretches to Where is the love omg!
this video means so much to me because 2000s are literally my life. i was born in 2002 and unfortunately i only have a vague memory of that time in my head, thus i really don't know how was life like back then. i wish i was a millennial so i could remember all of this vividly and experience much more. i really don't belong in the present times, tbh it's so depressing and fr i cannot even picture myself anywhere but in the 2000s. i try to create a simulation of the 2000s by bringing all those things back and surround myself with them, but i feel like an alien. nobody really gets that and i feel so alone and misunderstood.
I don't want to be that person but you really need to move on, you've got to remember that you're only viewing the 2000s with rose tinted glasses because it was your childhood when in reality, life was arguably harder back then than it is now due to 9/11, the war on terror, great financial crash, hurricane katrina etc. You should be looking forward to the future as the 2000s will never come back and that's a pill you have to swallow. Why not focus on making the 2020s something great especially as the whole y2k aesthetic is already coming back as fashionable so at least now you can experience the 2000s while still enjoying today's luxuries
The Gorge Lopez one is a different one, for me it was me watching Cartoon Network and then waking up a few hours seeing the animated show, Clerks on Adult Swim
Everyone has the same George Lopez memory for two reasons, 1. It was all that was played on nick at nite after like 10pm and 2. Because the theme song was loud as fuck and would wake you up if you fell asleep watching nick cartoons
I’m so glad to be born in such a great era to the internet.
I do anything to go back.
WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO GEOREGE LOPEZ IS SO ACCURATE OH MY GOD
Flash games were awesome sad that alot of flash games are lost because of flash being stopped
One of my favorites was the Monster High one were you had to pass the homework to Clawdeen.
Breath Machine is also knowm as Trance 009 Sound System Dreamscape
edit: i remember watching monster house as a kid and tbh it didnt feel creepy at all. i actually enjoyed the movie, probably because i was super exposed to horror movies. seeing it in this iceberg feels so nostalgic, especially the monster house video game as well. its an absolute childhood classic
The wave of nostalgia hits hard man
The 2000s is my gateway to my happy place since I have so many fond and vivid memories of them that I don’t want to let go. I’m now 18 and looking back to all of these memories including after 2010 showing how I was so happy at the time.
Another thing to add is the webkinz killer. That really scared me as a child. Especially because it was on a cute animal game.
As a person who was born since 2004 and grew up most of these lists, Good lord... I wish I could turn back the time when Flash games, Armor games, A10, Nitrome , Arcadprehacks , Y8, FRIV , Not doppler games were trending. Climbing tree with my friends as typical Filipino kids, Tagu-taguan, When you get 5 pesos you are so happy as if you won in the lottery. catching several tadpoles in the river, crossing rivers, Swimming in the river, patintero, bente-uno, war games, sumpak, tirador, Jejemon era, giyomi, FlipTop, flip phones and many many more
That was, really nostalgia inducing... I miss the good ol'times........
Same goes for Harry Potter. I think the idea of using religion to fearmonger people is crossing the line. I highly recommend you to watch the animated short film called "The Backwater Gospel".
Why did they even show those creepy PSAs in the first place? I mean, I get that workplace safety and staying away from drugs are good lessons, but why did they show on websites and TV channels that kids watched? Just why?
This video just hits different.
Wish we got full entries about:
Rickroll
Nyan Cat
Zoopals
Those books that had photoshopped images of mythical creatures like bigfoot and the chupacabra next to humans for scale, and a description of them (idk the name)
Toonami
CN Real
Those Disney Channel crossovers
(as part of the intros) The Disney screen that had Tinkerbell flying around and an upbeat song playing (not the castle scene)
The Wiggles
Wow Wow Wubbzy and Oswald (am I the only one that remembers these?)
(in addition to the weird side of YT) that one video with the ice cream person eating from their head
Superbowl commercials
A man has fallen into a river in Lego City commercial
That one cart with an old VCR the teachers would pull out to watch a movie on in school
Blockbuster
Boomerang (the tv channel)
...and many more I can't think of at the moment
I remember watching wow wow wubzy as a kid it seems like it would be on a iceberg but I've never heard anything about it ever
We don't talk about the CN Real era...
i was smiling until cn real..
Animorphia was the book name
@@everegenx Cool book, but that's not it. I remember it being a long book (physically, not pages) with a black paperback cover and some sort of realistic wolf-like creature on it with an open mouth full of sharp teeth.
Ah, I remember some childhood commercials like zoopals thats the only one i could think of, and watching old youtube videos in 2010s. That restores all childhood memories
I loved Raft Wars, flash games were the best. Adventure Quest was probably my favorite game on the internet though
2001 Baby here. No one tells you about these parts of adulthood. The nostalgic parts. Remembering childhood. Everyone always says you rlly don’t want to grow up like you say you do but we don’t realize what that means until we are in that position now as adults. Life is crazy man...
It was really fun (and sometimes disturbing and scary) to go through this...~ It's so good to know so many people remember the things I do from my childhood. While I'm happy with my current life and accept that I can make new memories to be nostalgic over, this video brought me back to someplace deep... a time of innocence. I miss that time.
Thank you for making this video. I really, genuinely liked it. ♥
I remember that i watched that creepy claymation too. Its tooo disturbing
Despite being born in 2009 i can kinda relate to some of these like the wii and PS2, diary of a wimpy kid, drama shows and more and more!!!!!!
Edit: flash games are my childhood too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:) you’re my favourite iceberg youtuber (:
this iceberg made me remember a lot of things, which is great because i dont remember things well enough bcs of my constant brain fog. except for the western or america centric stuff though.
I actually still have a Windows XP laptop but I upgraded the systems into Windows 7, I remembered before I upgraded the systems that the computer is so slow but instead of going on the Internet, I went on to play Space Cadet, the nostalgia on is real 😌
Dude I was so fascinated going on that side of TH-cam back then and now I still haven’t changed😂 I was born in the middle on the 2000s so I only have like breef memories of that side of the internet
I remember a large majority of these. My sister having been born in 95’ and I in 05’ she introduced me to a lot of things on the Internet as I was growing up. Many of these things I was probably too young for at the time but I’m glad I was shown most of these by her, otherwise I likely wouldn’t feel the nostalgia behind most of them. I also remember loving the shit out of creepypastas from age 8-13, I used to read them obsessively.
7:43 the explanation LMAO
He didn't lie tho that duck is pretty psycho
The breath machine song is actually Dreamscape by 009 Sound System
Oh I'm excited for this iceberg because I grew up in the 2000s. Born in 1996, Gen Z.
1996 isn't Gen Z though. If you look it up, the Pew Reasearch and the American Census Bureau have officially put them as the last of the Millenials with 1997 being the start of Gen Z. I was also born in 1996 but I always hated the late 2000s. I loved the very late 90s and early 2000s and grew up with the Powerhouse and CN City eras of Cartoon Network and pretty much stopped watching cartoons when the Noods era came out and killed off Ed, Edd, N Eddy.
@@RockNRollSurf yeah he is he was like 3 in the year 2000
Those were the best days and we didnt even know :(
This was a trip down memory lane
Damn good and simple times
This takes me back, as I am a 2000's kid.
The only thing I learned from this video is how sad his childhood was.
1:21 OMG age of war was so fun. To many memories… take me back 😞
As someone born in 2002 a bunch of memories started flowing
Thanks for the video the 2000s were the best but sometimes weird
16:37 that picture alone gave me so much nostalgia
Ah, the good ol' Metal era of Beyblade.
who remembers the flash games with the fighting stick man and where you draw paths to avoid the saws
Born in 03 and all I can say is yeah, pretty much recorded my 2000s experience and put it on a video. Even the “internet too slow for wizard101” thing
The only thing that scared me growing up was Scary maze.. fuck that game.
Im so glad to be apart of this time, what a time to be alive, im cryin
It's kind of weird, but I have a heavy nostalgia for all these things even as an Eastern European lol
Did you make any moves in liberty city like Niko
Thank you for the vivid and in depth portrait of my childhood that I didn’t know I needed
As someone born in june 2002 it gives me a lot of nostalgia.
I hope someday this 2000s nostalgia will be popular as 80s nostalgia.
One day it will. The people born in the 80's are, by in large, in control of a lot of the media and it has been around for longer (obviously) soon enough that 80's nostalgia will drift to 90's (which is already slowly happening) and later on it will be the early 2000's as well.
lmao I remember finding a box full of silly bands in the back of the school bus. My guess is that they were confiscated just because back then the teachers would say it was a distraction
Pillow pets started coming back around last year because of the strawberry cow and how they’re now starting to kinda do requests like how they made a Appa pillow
I remember the resurgance, but they made a custom fucking Appa pillow?
When the crazy frog entry came up, it sparked a memory from yearrrss ago that I saw a crazy frog whack-a-mole game in a Walmart arcade while I was waiting for my mom to check our groceries out. I THINK I played it but I can barely remember, I think the moles were the frogs or robots that hunted them down. Did anyone else see or play these?
Duuuuuude you just unlocked some of my memories right now lol. I remember playing one of these back in 2015 or something, in an arcade on my city's mall. I wonder if it's still there after all this time...
Your channel is an absolute blessing! I love your videos. Regarding liminal spaces, I really recommend you watch Solar Sand's video about it, it's very creepy but pretty much sums it up.
I used to scare the shit outta myself with creepy pastas, like every day of 6th grade I would be listening to them at school
I remember monster house would play a lot during the fall and early in the morning
Respect, not just for covering nostalgic content, but also doing everything yourself.
i was born in 2008 so i had like 2 years to experience this era.
Honestly 2008 felt more like the early 2010s rather than the 2000s
Ugh my 19 year old heart...!
So nostalgic it makes me feel old 😭
All the nostalgia tbh for me this is all surface level stuff. I would love a part 2
That Liminal Spaces Theory is TOO REAL AND TOO TRUE
As a 13 year old kid I can confirm, Pokémon cards are still a big thing at many schools. Also even though I was born in 2008 I can relate to like 70% of these.
They were so popular at my school they got banned
Yeah they got banned at my school too
i was born in 2001 i’m glad i grew up in this generation flash games and the internet back then was great way different than it is now
We had massive Beyblades battles in my elementary school. LET IT RIP
this video is my whole childhood memories ✨🤍 I love it. sad how fast time goes by, born in 98 and feeling old 🥲
I honestly thank you so much for making this video brought back lots of memories ❤️
Crazy how I was born in 2005 yet I get so much nostalgia from these entries
oh boy im so excited for this one.
I started school in 2008... But this still brings nostalgia
Class of 2021 anybody?
I was born in 2004 serbia so western media and toys came late but i can remember almost all of that stuff
I remember a book that was similar to a Where's Waldo book. It was the same concept: looking for stuff in pictures. It was Christmas-themed. It may have even been made by the same people. One of the images was of a forest of candy canes, one with vertical stripes instead of spiral ones and a word bubble that said "Something must have gone wrong"; another one with polka dots instead of stripes and a word bubble that said "I'm not myself today"; and a small one that was pure white and had a word bubble that said "I'm too young to have stripes." That book also had a picture of elves making wreathes on a sort of assembly line, and another one of multiple Santas on different roofs, all of which had word bubbles which said "I'm not real" except for one, whose word bubble said "I'm real." I wish I remembered the title of the book. Does this sound familiar to any of you?
Breath machine ( 6:05 ) is legitimately the most nostalgic sound of all time. Will never forget watching shitty “waluligi in super Mario 64 ds” videos with the blue screen and text explaining the bullshit and this song blasting in the background, before like a year ago you have no idea how hard I looked for this songs existence.
I performed ‘im blue’ for my second grade talent show. Best night of my life.
I just finished the Mandela iceberg lol
Its so weird going to a mall now and seeing closed stores everywhere and like 5 people. I remember back when I used to go to them when I was 12 when they'd be filled to the brim with people. Me and my friends used to go the cat adoption center and just look at them for hours.
Same for me bruh.
How DARE you not put the GameCube intro in iconic intros. How DARE you
