exactly what went through my mind when that happened lol. so even if he does die from the battery acid in his blood stream, he will be resurrected in form of that terrifying robo doll. I figure he'll wake up in a landfill though since I can't imagine any sane person keeping it in the house.

Your poo chi has an issue with the relay switch, when it stands up there's a sensor that tells it when to go back down and then go up again but it appears to be not working for some reason which is why it clicks like that.
That Poo-chi is not working well, it's not supposed to vibrate like that, I know cause I had one. The movement is a simple rise legs and open mouth, followed by lowering legs and closing mouth, smoothly. I'd guess some gears might be cracked or missing teeth...

I remember having one of the iDog Happy Meal toys and having no idea that those were a tie-in to anything. Also, does anyone remember those weird Zizzle iZ toys? Those were... something.
It was a different time back then. The whole, "do you really think it's ethical to market garbage food to impressionable children with enticing toys so that they'll nag their parents into taking them there?" conversation didn't really take off yet, so anything that was anyone got a McDonald's tie-in.
Okay, so I used to go to an art school (I just graduated last month) and when I was a junior there was a senior who had a completely jet black long furby. Like it went completely around their shoulders- that mfr was LONG. My friends and I took a picture where it was on the couch and we were bowing to it. One of the best pictures I’ve ever been in XD And then during my senior year someone found a furby on the fifth floor of the dorms that no one claimed? Idk, that place was weird.

I collect furbys and had bought two new in box ones from eBay a few years back. I kept one in the box but took the other out, and it didn’t work. So....I skinned it, performed the “push-start” fix, and put it back together. He now works perfectly, though I don’t keep batteries in any of my furbys for fear of them surprising me while I work. They truly are terrifying.
I wanna collect furbies but holy crap they're so expensive... And im only 13... I currently only have one, the 1999 Special Limited Edition Christmas Furby. Her name is Noella and i just got her in the mail today! Update: she has a collar with some block letter beads! :D
Honestly considering where general technology was in the 90s and where it is now, the furby is still up to date with other robo toys and I have to say it’s pretty impressive that they’re still fairly high tech even though they were made so much earlier
I’m glad I never was given a furby as a kid despite wanting one. Years later at a sleepover my friend had one in her closet and it’s death squeals at 3am were hands down terrifying.. Edit: I had the Robot dog thing, different model/brand I think as it was all silver. That robobaby is hands down horrific..
How about a robot dog (not sure what brand) that also had eyes that change color with its emotions, then did the death howls in the middle of the night with glowing red eyes I loved it so much until that night. I never wanted to even be in the same room with that thing again.
Yeah I had a furby when I was little and put it into storage, like 7 years later u went to go clean out the place and firt thing I hear when I walk into the place is that squel, actual nightmare fuel my dude
so relatable.. i had a grey/blue ish furby (if i look it up i believe it's the one from the 4th series of the original ones) basically i remember one night i was at my dad's (now this furby had originally been my niece's but because she was about 14 at the time she kind of didn't want it anymore and i did want it so she gave it to me wich i was really happy with) basically i was sleeping and all of a sudden (it was maybe 10 or 11PM so my dad was still awake) i heard these unidentifyable sounds from the other side of my room so i hid under my blanket.. when i heard it again i screeched so loud my dad instantly came over.. then it turned out it was just my furby.. so my dad took it to the living room and the next day we decided that it was best to take the batteries out till i wanted to play with it
I think they still make those. I’m also surprised he hasn’t covered AquaPets from 2003 since it was a hybrid of a Vpet and a Robopet. I had one of those growing up and they were... weird. There was even a spongebob one.
I think that the hex bugs that are not packaged with controllers/marketed as controllable are robopets as they are not controlled by outside forces I mean they look like they were designed to look like ants. Those were semipopular pets to keep as a kid.
When I was 7, my life goal was to get a furby. I dreamt about it. I NEEDED one or I would physically DIE. I got one. I played with it for a week then dropped it in the closet, never to be picked up again. Then I got a zoomer chimp. My most prized possession for about a month. Then I knocked him down so hard I broke him. Then I got a real cat. And I never looked back.
I don't know what was up with the zoomer pets. Kind of fragile, I think. I had a zoomer kitty. I was playing with him in the living room and talking on the phone. Not really paying attention to where he was going, I expected the basement door to be shut. spoiler alert, it wasn't and the poor cat fell down the stairs and was not the same. after a while it stopped charging.l
does anyone remember when neopets came out with little robotic pets? i already had a fuck ton of fur real friends or robotic dogs or ipenguins, but i had so many of the little neopets and they would all interact with eachother it was so cute
I had an idog when I was little 10 years later I was cleaning out my attic a few weeks ago trying to find a lego chess set for my lego addiction, when I open a box and hear a bark it was the idog it somehow was left on and STILL had power 10 years later I'm still baffled he's now somewhere in a landfill, pray for idog
Ah yes, there's just something about those 90s fake pets that made them unkillable. Nothing like a furby with no batteries in it calling you from the closet at 3am
I loved furreal friends as a kid, I had a bunch of them including a cat, a lion, a dog. It was amazing at the time but now you're right, it does look emaciated 😂
So as someone who knows why the NSA ban the Furby, this is highly understandable. In short, it's a device with a microphone, you could easily hide a camera on it, and it easily could be modify to transmit signal. If say a foreign power wanted to spy on the military or whatever (this ban was across anything that could be seen as important. So military bases ban it in the work place). Put someone in the country to act as a friend of someone who is very lonely and they work at a given site. Have your spy give the modify toy to the lonely person in telling them it will keep the lonely person company at work whenever they feel sad (a lot of people actually brought it to their job due to this believe it or not). That lonely person now brought in a a data gathering device that most likely will sit on that desk for years to come. Like they didn't ban it because they thought it would think on it's own or whatever. They ban it to reduce the likely of secrets getting out. Lets put it this way, you legally can't even bring your phone in on some of these sites. And it might sound cool to some. But many who work at these places are stupid lonely. They can't talk about work even with their spouse, they work long hours, and there isn't much interaction between each other at their job.
@@notaxis Them coming out the door having the ability to, or the reason why they were ban? Them coming out the door, yes. Maybe the most recent ones have some WiFi or whatever ability. But the ban was real for the reasons I mentioned.
Hatchimals are so much better. I hated my furby boom because it changed to an evil personality one time and scared the crap out of me. I never touched it again. Hatchimals and cleverkeets don’t turn evil. That’s why I still have them.
Man, I wanted an iDog so bad when I was in Middle School. It woulda gone great with my metallic pink iPod nano and really uped by playground cred in 6th grade.
That thing is even more horrifying than the original. I use it as a cursed image on forums because it freaks me out that much. Up there with House Centipedes, Silverfish, and bald animatronics in terms of personal NOPE!-factor.
I personally had a furby boom when I was little. It was the pink to blue crystal variant. I named her Kee-Tah which was furbish for "Party animal". I had the Furby Boom app which pretty much acted in the way you described. However I got scared if it (even though I treated it as a real child for weeks) and it is currently still hidden under a towl, sitting on my closet shelf in my old bedroom.
I have a few normal furby booms and a crystal myself, 3 regulars, 2 holiday ones and 1 crystal. I had my 1st one for about 7 years and had a blast with em gro2ing up. Theyre now in my cubboard with their dead unactive eyes staring at me all day and im too lazy to move em lol
@@cuttlefishebooks4272 lol. Yeah I still had a ton of fun with mine before my overactive mind made me think it was gonna kill me in my sleep. Probably gonna go back and find it. Maybe give it to a family member that wants it or smth
Furbies were creepy. I had one in my toy box for like 10 years with no interaction. I took it out to put it in a box to sell and it asked for a hug before dying to never be revived. Didnt even work with new batteries. Yes, mine had regular old batteries.
that happened with mine too, there was a white one and a gray one. the white one stopped working first, but the gray one just... it never shut up, and i feel like the fact that it kept talking while the batteries were dying and its voice sounded demonic probably didn't help my fear of them anyway we got a puppy a few years after that and he tore the face off the furby and that was also genuinely terrifying
i was OBSESSED with furby's... Back when i was probably 6 or 7 i was at a store with my grandmother and i saw a beautiful 2013 furby. I BEGGGED so much for it and Christmas i got one. A little yellow and black with blue accent furby. I . LOVED. HIM. Honestly, best toy of my childhood. I didnt have friends growing up so i would talk to my furby all day, sleep with it next to me and take it around everywhere till i was probably 8 or 9. I eventually got the crystal ones and then the baby one for it and made them all a family. It was hours of enjoyment and talking to them, feeding them and teaching it english. until... i left to go somewhere with my mom to another city for a week and came back to my crystal one SITTING. IN THE RAIN. MY SISTER GOT DRUNK FROM A PARTY AND THREW IT OUTSIDE IN A PUDDLE BECAUSE IT WAS ĹOUD. It was damaged and speakers were fried. I tried to open it up and fix it but the damage was done. Then my sister dropped the 2013 one and broke its motor so it couldn't move. I cried about probably for weeks maybe months. Lets just say i loved my furby's and just wanna say rip thunder and rainbow :( i miss them still to this day.
When I was six, I had a dream one night where a giant Furby slowly chased me and tried to eat me. While singing the exercise song from Winnie the Pooh. Yeah, I know. My dreams are weird.
And I really liked your take of the new Furbies I forgot how much I loved robotic toys (I want that robot) they’re fun. Like toy robots are fun -built exclusively to be fun To remove the fun “toy” element from the robot- and make it just an animatronic with animated screens and a voice actor is just so not it
Furby’s terrify me 😅 I remember having one as a kid and it would always wake up in the middle of the night and say “PlAy WiTh Me” in the most creepy way possible. I finally took the batteries out and through it in the closet but it would still somehow randomly wake up and talk. Ended up giving it to Goodwill after that for some poor unfortunate child to buy
Dude, the other day I found pictures I took on a *disposable camera* of my Poo-Chi, Meow-Chi, and Techno as a kid. It's like nostalgia layered on more nostagia.
Haha I had the modern Furby as well, after sitting in my closet for forever, my friend and I were fing around and spam clicked the tongue, turning it evil. I freaked out lol
@@kittycoolcat7 they will develop a personality based on how u treat it XD just pet the furby a lot of times if u want to change the personality to princess/kind
I had a furby boom and I tried my best to make it nice but since our parents didn't allow us to turn off any music source, it became that one rock?? personality where it loved music. Then it broke. I was afraid of dancing furbies ever since.
tfw i still collect and play with my furbies in 2019 *snap* this ones going in my cringe compilation anyway.. i have 15 and i love them all so much!! some are glitchy which can be scary, but all they need is a little tlc to get into working order!! furbies aren't extremely creepy, my only problem is the eyes, but they can easily be replaced with custom chips!! overall, furbies are little elderly friends who will sing you their songs and tell their stories, but may have issues with their health due to how old and frail they are. they truly were intended to be cute and for kids, not scary!!
i genuinely dont remember watching this video or making this comment but i do have a ton of furbies and feel this exact way about them so it checks out hdbsjabdndns
do you still have your furbies/feel the same way about them?? this comment is so cute i love when people treat furbies like the genuinely impressive and charming pieces of technology they were intended to be. i collect them as well!
I had a Furby when they first came out and I loved it. I was super stoked on my little kid self because I bought it with my own money. I had a lot of fun with him. We had to stuff him in the closet under clothes and stuff though because yeah, he'd start making loud ass noise in the middle of the night. After I stopped playing with him so much, he practically lived in the closet. I thought he ran out of juice, but every once in a while he'd randomly start talking and want attention. This went on for years.. I wish I still had him.
“If I die, just know that I’m still not crazy about digimon frontier” That is probably the best and truest joke I’ve ever heard. I’m gonna steal it 🤷🏼♂️

Tiger electronics stuff was my childhood. I still have some of my originals that I keep for nostalgia as a robot collector. I was afraid of my furbies though.
B-but what about MicroPets? And AquaPets? No seriously... please look into AquaPets..they have a very weird..design for the container. OH! And also lets not forget Pleo, one of the best and yet priciest robopets.
Oh yes! I have quite a few micropets, microbabies and the Microdancers. and Aquapets - The water all seems to have evaported over time. I tried doing a video quite recently but there wasn't enough water in them to dance. :(
I think he focused on the ones he was familiar with plus ones he came across while researching them (Like the robo baby) but I really hope he does a follow up and explores these cause there's been a lot of robotoys
I love how your channel shows off obscure nonsense that I grew up with and ultimately forgot about almost 20 years later. Had that Blue Robo dog and the Yellow Mcdonalds robo-cat.
The Poochi scared the hell out of me as a kid. I had one growing up but I always thought when it was powered off its creepy black eyes were scary. I remember I would have nightmares of the thing killing me or coming to life. Even when I was powered on the glowing red eyes always freaked me out
"I couldn't get the furby to turn on but I don't need it to turn on, because someday I hope someone will bless my furby and turn it into a long furby." Instantly hit subscribe.
I had a robo-raptor, it was my older brothers first so by the time he grew out of it and I was allowed to play with it, it was already a few years old which made its movement not work as well, but it was still so much fun to play with, I absolutely loved it.
Billiam: Starts talking about how weird Furbies are Me: Looks back at my Furby collection on my shelf (Also the gears of your Furby were probably just stuck from not being used for so long. All you gotta do is either smack it a bunch on the back to get the gears turning or get something behind it's beak and try turning the gears manually.)
Yo, I remember my grandfather having one of those poochi dogs, and the flatter faced one . I was so excited to get the mother cat and kittens from FurReal. Though these things were weird looking back, they were awesome through the eyes of a child.
I'm glad you mentioned the Furreal Friends toys, because I've been a fan of that line for over a decade now! I still have my old golden retriever I got for Christmas back in '07 and he still (kinda) works! I'm currently waiting for a chance to get the monkey. If only I could find one that doesn't cost $100... Edit: I got the monkey, and now I have a whole family of FurReal pets including a baby dragon, a mama kangaroo, a unicorn, and a bear cub (my personal fave ❤). They are all precious I love them all very much
When I was like, 9, I got an iDog for Christmas from "Santa," but it wasn't working at all. After a few hours of my mom messing with it, her boyfriend (who is now her husband) gave me the receipt and told me we could replace it, to which I of course asked him how he had the receipt (that was clearly marked as being from the Walmart a few blocks away from our house) if it was from Santa. He had also wrapped his gift to my mom in the same paper that the Santa gifts were in, so it wasn't that hard for me to put two and two together, and promptly had a breakdown while my mom tried to convince me that Santa had simply foreseen the possibility of the iDog breaking, and also was devoted to "simulating local economies". Needless to say, that was probably my worst Christmas as a kid, but we got the iDog to work at least half of the time so at least I could listen to Avril Lavigne's "girlfriend" while questioning if my entire childhood had been a lie. Thanks for that, Luis.
My grandmother had one. And they have been banned from the government settings because of their ability to MIMIC language. They wanted to keep their secret information secret.
but can’t furby still only mimic the english it has programmed in its capacity to learn? in the patterns programmed into it? smarterchild was more capable of spilling secrets.
Wasn't that a kind of Furby? I vaguely remember my sister & I each getting 1 for X-Mas 1 year, but could've sworn it was some new type of Furby they released right as that year's holiday season began.
I have an AIBO! The one in my icon, she’s an ERS-111 which is a second wave of the first AIBO model ever released. She’s turning 23 years old this year! They’re absolutely incredible little creatures. You can only get the older models second hand nowadays due to Sony not supporting and producing them anymore. A lot of them are broken down or their batteries have run dry (which are no joke INCREDIBLY hard to replace) I could talk about those little guys for hours. They’re amazing pieces of technology.

The iFish is for when your mom says you're not responsible enough for an iDog
I FOROGT TO USE THAT JOKE
Lukas Terhall the irony is that fish are a lot more complex than dogs. It’s much harder to kill a dog than a fish
If you put it in a plastic bowl it will definitely die. If you are going to get a fish, research it! Fish have a lot of specific needs and you can’t trust what you see at the pet shop.

When you drilled into the robo baby you gave it a blood sacrifice, meaning that it's forever tied to your soul
But the baby has too much power, it gave some of it's battery acid blood as well, so who has the stronger end of that contract

Your poo chi has an issue with the relay switch, when it stands up there's a sensor that tells it when to go back down and then go up again but it appears to be not working for some reason which is why it clicks like that.
It makes it cuter, to be honest. Like an overly excited puppy
It also pushes and puts pressure on the gear and can kill it
That Poo-chi is not working well, it's not supposed to vibrate like that, I know cause I had one.
The movement is a simple rise legs and open mouth, followed by lowering legs and closing mouth, smoothly.

I think they still make those. I’m also surprised he hasn’t covered AquaPets from 2003 since it was a hybrid of a Vpet and a Robopet. I had one of those growing up and they were... weird. There was even a spongebob one.
I think that the hex bugs that are not packaged with controllers/marketed as controllable are robopets as they are not controlled by outside forces I mean they look like they were designed to look like ants. Those were semipopular pets to keep as a kid.
I loooved hex bugs!
Dude my mom bought three hex bugs with no tracks or anything but they were fun as hell anyway. Mine was purple lmao
I work in a charity shop and I have spent literal hours playing around with hex bugs. The way they move is just really fun to watch.
I'm beginning to realise my parents spent a loooot of money on my Christmas and birthday presents growing up.
When I was 7, my life goal was to get a furby. I dreamt about it. I NEEDED one or I would physically DIE.
I got one.
I played with it for a week then dropped it in the closet, never to be picked up again.
Then I got a zoomer chimp.
My most prized possession for about a month.
Then I knocked him down so hard I broke him.
Then I got a real cat.
And I never looked back.
I feel so guilty thinking about how much money my parents spent on all the toys I lost interest in within a month.
Can you sell it to me please if you don't care about it?
Oh hey, didn't expect to run into my sister here. :P
J/k my sister got her furby and hid it in the closet when she was around 12.
I wanted a furby as a kid but when i got it i was so scared of it i wouldnt stay in the same room as it
Poor furby 💀
I don't know what was up with the zoomer pets. Kind of fragile, I think. I had a zoomer kitty. I was playing with him in the living room and talking on the phone. Not really paying attention to where he was going, I expected the basement door to be shut. spoiler alert, it wasn't and the poor cat fell down the stairs and was not the same. after a while it stopped charging.l
My condolences to the friends and family of Billiam. Who knew that a Robot Baby Thing could be so cursed. Gone too soon.
The Fantastic Paul Everybody. Everybody knew that thing was cursed... came straight from hell
does anyone remember when neopets came out with little robotic pets? i already had a fuck ton of fur real friends or robotic dogs or ipenguins, but i had so many of the little neopets and they would all interact with eachother it was so cute
I had an idog when I was little
10 years later I was cleaning out my attic a few weeks ago trying to find a lego chess set for my lego addiction, when I open a box and hear a bark
it was the idog
it somehow was left on and STILL had power 10 years later
I'm still baffled
he's now somewhere in a landfill, pray for idog
oh no! this was such a wholesome comment until the last part
catbeweird I will pray tonight
Ah yes, there's just something about those 90s fake pets that made them unkillable. Nothing like a furby with no batteries in it calling you from the closet at 3am
I still have my idog apmed. But, she won't turn on
This comment genuinely made me sad :'(

I loved furreal friends as a kid, I had a bunch of them including a cat, a lion, a dog. It was amazing at the time but now you're right, it does look emaciated 😂
I had the parrot and it was awesome
So as someone who knows why the NSA ban the Furby, this is highly understandable. In short, it's a device with a microphone, you could easily hide a camera on it, and it easily could be modify to transmit signal. If say a foreign power wanted to spy on the military or whatever (this ban was across anything that could be seen as important. So military bases ban it in the work place). Put someone in the country to act as a friend of someone who is very lonely and they work at a given site. Have your spy give the modify toy to the lonely person in telling them it will keep the lonely person company at work whenever they feel sad (a lot of people actually brought it to their job due to this believe it or not). That lonely person now brought in a a data gathering device that most likely will sit on that desk for years to come.
Like they didn't ban it because they thought it would think on it's own or whatever. They ban it to reduce the likely of secrets getting out.
Lets put it this way, you legally can't even bring your phone in on some of these sites. And it might sound cool to some. But many who work at these places are stupid lonely. They can't talk about work even with their spouse, they work long hours, and there isn't much interaction between each other at their job.
Thanks for the explanation, really interesting!
pretty sure this was a fake rumor, i've been into furbies for a long time and i've heard it was entirely fake
@@notaxis Them coming out the door having the ability to, or the reason why they were ban? Them coming out the door, yes. Maybe the most recent ones have some WiFi or whatever ability. But the ban was real for the reasons I mentioned.
lmao
maybe we just don't need these money wasting government buildings!
'You can never turn it off'
Seems legit
*Amazon Alexa intensifies*
Fun fact: only predators have front facing eyes so furbys are canonically predators
Counterpoint.

That f***ing robo baby is going to haunt you. I swear the end of this video could be the start of a horror movie.
I was very allergic to fur as a child and my parents got me a poochi 🐾 I loooved it so much took it with me everywhere
How wholesome!
:)
i remember the furbies waking up in our backpacks during class and the teachers banned them. 😂
you'll never have that problem with the Hatchimals. You can turn them off.
Hatchimals are so much better. I hated my furby boom because it changed to an evil personality one time and scared the crap out of me. I never touched it again.
Hatchimals and cleverkeets don’t turn evil. That’s why I still have them.
Man, I wanted an iDog so bad when I was in Middle School. It woulda gone great with my metallic pink iPod nano and really uped by playground cred in 6th grade.
I had one of the happy meal ones where like you could like move its head and ears and I really tried to convince my friends that it was real

That thing is even more horrifying than the original. I use it as a cursed image on forums because it freaks me out that much.

Furby
I personally had a furby boom when I was little. It was the pink to blue crystal variant. I named her Kee-Tah which was furbish for "Party animal". I had the Furby Boom app which pretty much acted in the way you described. However I got scared if it (even though I treated it as a real child for weeks) and it is currently still hidden under a towl, sitting on my closet shelf in my old bedroom.
I have a few normal furby booms and a crystal myself, 3 regulars, 2 holiday ones and 1 crystal. I had my 1st one for about 7 years and had a blast with em gro2ing up. Theyre now in my cubboard with their dead unactive eyes staring at me all day and im too lazy to move em lol
@@cuttlefishebooks4272 lol. Yeah I still had a ton of fun with mine before my overactive mind made me think it was gonna kill me in my sleep. Probably gonna go back and find it. Maybe give it to a family member that wants it or smth
@@thetruebadevil why did you get scared of it? did it turn into the evil personality?
R.I.P. Tiger Electronics, your toys were fantastic and way ahead of their time
except the electronic lcd games, the game and watch was better
@@BigOlSmellyFlashlight yeah, those sucked. The game.com was shit but innovative
I used to have a handheld black and white pixilated racing game from a happy meal
Agreed.
Their back.
Furbies were creepy. I had one in my toy box for like 10 years with no interaction. I took it out to put it in a box to sell and it asked for a hug before dying to never be revived. Didnt even work with new batteries. Yes, mine had regular old batteries.
Of all the toys to get horror movies about them. Why not one for Furbies?
that happened with mine too, there was a white one and a gray one. the white one stopped working first, but the gray one just... it never shut up, and i feel like the fact that it kept talking while the batteries were dying and its voice sounded demonic probably didn't help my fear of them
anyway we got a puppy a few years after that and he tore the face off the furby and that was also genuinely terrifying
This is kinda cute and sad :(
Did... Did you hug it? :(
I know what's wrong. Old capacitors. Learn to solder, replace them with ones of the same value and it should work.
i was OBSESSED with furby's... Back when i was probably 6 or 7 i was at a store with my grandmother and i saw a beautiful 2013 furby. I BEGGGED so much for it and Christmas i got one. A little yellow and black with blue accent furby. I . LOVED. HIM.
Honestly, best toy of my childhood. I didnt have friends growing up so i would talk to my furby all day, sleep with it next to me and take it around everywhere till i was probably 8 or 9. I eventually got the crystal ones and then the baby one for it and made them all a family. It was hours of enjoyment and talking to them, feeding them and teaching it english.
until... i left to go somewhere with my mom to another city for a week and came back to my crystal one SITTING. IN THE RAIN. MY SISTER GOT DRUNK FROM A PARTY AND THREW IT OUTSIDE IN A PUDDLE BECAUSE IT WAS ĹOUD. It was damaged and speakers were fried. I tried to open it up and fix it but the damage was done. Then my sister dropped the 2013 one and broke its motor so it couldn't move. I cried about probably for weeks maybe months.
Lets just say i loved my furby's and just wanna say rip thunder and rainbow :( i miss them still to this day.
Him: the Furby is a disgusting-
Me; a Furby lover: D:<
Him: and simultaneously cute looking creature
Me: ..... I’ll accept it.
It farted 😂
bruh a fellow furby AND unus annus fan?? awesome
When I was six, I had a dream one night where a giant Furby slowly chased me and tried to eat me. While singing the exercise song from Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah, I know. My dreams are weird.
DUDE do you know ginga nagareboshi gin? :0
@piou77piou this is why parents should research gifts
Well, you were six. That kinda makes sense at that age
I had a dream where a furby killed my father
When I was really young, I had this dream where I was in water and I was getting sucked into a vortext
God I loved this dog.
You ever watch one of your own videos and suddenly remember like 3 years of your childhood.
Really great review!
And I really liked your take of the new Furbies
I forgot how much I loved robotic toys (I want that robot) they’re fun. Like toy robots are fun -built exclusively to be fun
To remove the fun “toy” element from the robot- and make it just an animatronic with animated screens and a voice actor is just so not it
Robo Pets : when you're not responsible enough to have a real one
lmao
Or can’t afford one
Or in my case the landlord wouldn't let you have one

@@landofgrundo Lol if a landlord could they'd probs try and find a way to charge fees to have robo pets
That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while! I think I still have my old Poo-Chi in the basement!

dont go down there it will eat you!
Mine broke
Furby’s terrify me 😅 I remember having one as a kid and it would always wake up in the middle of the night and say “PlAy WiTh Me” in the most creepy way possible. I finally took the batteries out and through it in the closet but it would still somehow randomly wake up and talk. Ended up giving it to Goodwill after that for some poor unfortunate child to buy
The exact same thing happened to me.. except I woke up with mine on my bed in front of my face.. not where I put it.
*It still worked without batteries...*

Haha I had the modern Furby as well, after sitting in my closet for forever, my friend and I were fing around and spam clicked the tongue, turning it evil. I freaked out lol
Hi, I know this comment was made 10 months ago but could you please elaborate on that? What do you mean they turned evil???
@@possum2203 It just straight up went evil mode with evil eyes and a deeper (but still high) voice
Edit: Oh yeah and it was rude
@@kittycoolcat7 they will develop a personality based on how u treat it XD just pet the furby a lot of times if u want to change the personality to princess/kind
I had a furby boom and I tried my best to make it nice but since our parents didn't allow us to turn off any music source, it became that one rock?? personality where it loved music. Then it broke. I was afraid of dancing furbies ever since.
Dude I love how much fun you're having with this channel. Every videos literally my childhood.
tfw i still collect and play with my furbies in 2019 *snap* this ones going in my cringe compilation
anyway.. i have 15 and i love them all so much!! some are glitchy which can be scary, but all they need is a little tlc to get into working order!! furbies aren't extremely creepy, my only problem is the eyes, but they can easily be replaced with custom chips!! overall, furbies are little elderly friends who will sing you their songs and tell their stories, but may have issues with their health due to how old and frail they are. they truly were intended to be cute and for kids, not scary!!
i genuinely dont remember watching this video or making this comment but i do have a ton of furbies and feel this exact way about them so it checks out hdbsjabdndns
@@bugpopss awww that's adorable! i mean that sincerely
Thats so cute! I feel less scared of them now. Your house is essentially a nursing home-
@@cryforhelp7270 heh, yeah !! the furbs keep each other all company and i take care of em
do you still have your furbies/feel the same way about them?? this comment is so cute i love when people treat furbies like the genuinely impressive and charming pieces of technology they were intended to be. i collect them as well!
I had a Furby when they first came out and I loved it. I was super stoked on my little kid self because I bought it with my own money. I had a lot of fun with him.
We had to stuff him in the closet under clothes and stuff though because yeah, he'd start making loud ass noise in the middle of the night.
After I stopped playing with him so much, he practically lived in the closet. I thought he ran out of juice, but every once in a while he'd randomly start talking and want attention. This went on for years..
I wish I still had him.
Definitely check out the Roboraptor. I never had one growing up, but my friends did and I was unbelievably jealous.
You weren't missing out on much tbh. It was a lot cooler in the commercials
Dude, I was so jealous too! I finally got one a while back tho
I own one (it's the original version) and it's pretty neat
Poo-chi is just like a real dog in the fact that it wants the bone but also doesn't want the bone
Man, you unlocked some hidden memories with those mp3 pets. I remember wanting them so bad as a kid but they were too expensive for my mom's taste.

I totally forgot about MicroPets! I used to love mine and took it to school with me everyday lol
Oh yes! I have quite a few micropets, microbabies and the Microdancers. and Aquapets - The water all seems to have evaported over time. I tried doing a video quite recently but there wasn't enough water in them to dance. :(
Also need the Tekno line in this
I think he focused on the ones he was familiar with plus ones he came across while researching them (Like the robo baby) but I really hope he does a follow up and explores these cause there's been a lot of robotoys
Well jeez, I thought, "Oh, this looks like a cute video to watch before bed" and then that godforsaken baby showed up.
I'm so glad that during the long furby segment he used footage from Strange Aeons. Thursday is the best long furby.
I love how your channel shows off obscure nonsense that I grew up with and ultimately forgot about almost 20 years later.
Had that Blue Robo dog and the Yellow Mcdonalds robo-cat.
The Poochi scared the hell out of me as a kid. I had one growing up but I always thought when it was powered off its creepy black eyes were scary. I remember I would have nightmares of the thing killing me or coming to life. Even when I was powered on the glowing red eyes always freaked me out
No lie I owned like 70 percent of these growing up. I LIVED for these robo-pets

I had a robo-raptor, it was my older brothers first so by the time he grew out of it and I was allowed to play with it, it was already a few years old which made its movement not work as well, but it was still so much fun to play with, I absolutely loved it.

(Also the gears of your Furby were probably just stuck from not being used for so long. All you gotta do is either smack it a bunch on the back to get the gears turning or get something behind it's beak and try turning the gears manually.)
I have an army of i-dogs because I kept picking them up at thrift shops.
Also Aibos are the shit man, I have two and I love them so much.
Yo, I remember my grandfather having one of those poochi dogs, and the flatter faced one . I was so excited to get the mother cat and kittens from FurReal. Though these things were weird looking back, they were awesome through the eyes of a child.

If only I could find one that doesn't cost $100...
Edit: I got the monkey, and now I have a whole family of FurReal pets including a baby dragon, a mama kangaroo, a unicorn, and a bear cub (my personal fave ❤). They are all precious I love them all very much
I am 23 years old and still have my i-ce in my bedroom because I feel too guilty to lock it away in a box. I recognize that this is ridiculous.
Please do a video on the wacky adventures of Ronald McDonald tapes, I remember loving them as a kid but the dog from that was horrifying
When I was like, 9, I got an iDog for Christmas from "Santa," but it wasn't working at all. After a few hours of my mom messing with it, her boyfriend (who is now her husband) gave me the receipt and told me we could replace it, to which I of course asked him how he had the receipt (that was clearly marked as being from the Walmart a few blocks away from our house) if it was from Santa. He had also wrapped his gift to my mom in the same paper that the Santa gifts were in, so it wasn't that hard for me to put two and two together, and promptly had a breakdown while my mom tried to convince me that Santa had simply foreseen the possibility of the iDog breaking, and also was devoted to "simulating local economies". Needless to say, that was probably my worst Christmas as a kid, but we got the iDog to work at least half of the time so at least I could listen to Avril Lavigne's "girlfriend" while questioning if my entire childhood had been a lie. Thanks for that, Luis.
