These kids are absolute legends.. vlogging before vlogging was even a word
Um, I don't think that's accurate. The world did not begin when you became self aware. JS
@@rawfoodwriterum, I think your mom loves to have a train ran on her. Js
What is up with these pencil pushers always making overkill comments
Just say some regular shit for once in your life
@@rawfoodwriter Not accurate how so? It's 1989, nobody used to word vlogging back then💀
@@aKidNamedBrady just bc it wasn't a word, doesn't mean peoe didnt do it though
Imagine being that mcdonalds cashier and finding this video of yourself 30 years later
Please Don't Feed The Vegans that’s what I was thinking😀
Remember those hotcakes, too bad we burned it down lol.
mostly stoner teens worked there and at taco bell lol
That's Briana Taylor's mom 😆 lol
Jeesez... Your mom cant use the internet, yo!
These kids had no idea they were living in the best times of their lives
oh, we knew the 80s was an amazing thing...we just thought those good days would go on forever.
Yes indeed!!! No lies told at all!!!
We we’re simple and content it didn’t take much to please us.
I was born in 1989 I'm 31 now
01/09/1989 and 31.What brought us here?😂
It might not have seemed like much at the time, but to look back at videos like this years later is like a treasure trove. Wish I still had audio recordings I made with my friends around this same time
Life was so simple yet so fulfilling back then. I'm convinced that social media plays a big role in destroying that.
Agreed
Yes
100 percent
Absolutely.
Sad but true
I wasn't even alive during this... but somehow i miss it...
Trust me, it was way better, I was a teenager - young adult in the 80's, no internet, no social media, and it was good. We are now bombarded by the opinions of stupid, entitled, utterly pointless arseholes who serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever.
@Laura Nwogu Nah it wasnt like that back then, social media really brings out a ton of shit this day in age. No reason to dog on this guys comment lmao. Also obviously he knows those arent the only good things about back then what you want him to do make a 100000 page essay listing the better things? lmao
@Laura Nwogu I refer you back to my original post.
xd 😭
Lol I was. Newborn baby
I bet they had no idea 200,000 people would be watching this 30 years later
Nope. -D
Y’all had so much fun though!
I have some vids like this of me n my friends I should post.
@@Megdracula you should post them
RIGHT 😅
292,172 now.
This is so unbelievably genuine and wholesome. They're just silly kids wanting to make a video just to make it, rather than be a famous youtuber.
Lmao, what a stupid, rose colored nostalgic comment. The internet only became worldwide in 1993 and was truly global and established in 2000. So, of course they wouldn't have a clue about the true power and potential of sharing information, the very reason for why the internet existed.
As a 90's kid, seeing comments like yours just makes me wanna barf.
yeh but ironically they are now youtubers
@mikey73 Sans famous. -Darrell
@@EricDarrell almost famous, I've heard of you and I'm in the UK
I don’t consider them famous no offense. If not for me finding this video while searching for old videos of fast food places I would have never heard of them. I’m glad I did because I love their videos old and new.
I don't understand why this was in my recommendations but I am NOT mad AT ALL. I needed this. Ugh, simpler happy times. Today just sucks.
Me too! It was just there. Those were happier times. Now it’s just a daily thing for some people to go to McDonald’s. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been there. When you’re a kid though it’s the best thing ever
I miss the 80s
@@mn-wk3ju ok
You were younger, of course it was simpler, but the world was as complicated and fucked up.
You can still go to McDonalds, that has not changed!
Who would've guessed that 30 years later we would be watching this private home video on our phones on a public website. 😂😂😂
Fr
I knew we'd have computers but not basically ones we could stick in our back pocket!
These boys were vloggers before vlogging was a thing.
@@Erikoxendine Lol that's exactly what I thought
@@myblueskye777 Right. Exactly although when I used to play pretend I would sometimes pretend that I had a phone with the screen on it. So that I could see the person I'm talking to and they could see me. I would have never imagined that it would literally come true. Somebody had told me that 1 day we would have phones that way I would have thought they were kidding
Fun fact: those kids’ t-shirts are worth about $150 each today.
No you
I have a lakers styled jersey still in great condition that has only been worn once from an Eminem and Rihanna concert from their The Monster Tour back in 2014 that says “SHADY” on the front and right underneath that it has the number 2 and on the back it says “MMLP2” with again the number 2 right underneath that. I’m not planning on ever selling it, but how much do you think something like that would be worth in let’s say 20 years? Maybe even 30 years? How high would the price go when Eminem dies? Just curious. Not planning on selling it, but it would be nice to know if things ever get desperate.
.....I just got up to check it out. I smelled it to see if it still smelled clean after being put aware and untouched, as far as I’m aware, for years and it still smells brand new! It also kind of smells like a cologne I haven’t worn in a while. I wonder if I had that cologne on when first bought it and the smell is still on it😂😂 Good thing my cologne isn’t strong. I choose the cologne I use because it smells fresh and clean. Not too “cologne-y” if that makes sense. I wonder if that contributed to why the jersey still smells fresh. I’m not sure though if it is the cologne. Like I said I haven’t worn it in awhile and I kind of forgot what it smells like, and I think I first started wearing that cologne during that same year of that concert. I just don’t remember if it was before or after that concert I started wearing that cologne. Anyway, how do you think those things would effect the price? 20 years later? 30 years later? After Eminem dies? The fact that it still smells fresh and looks new and only worn once? I know you probably aren’t an expert on this, but I am curious what you think.
No you
No problem😂 And yeah I already do that. For almost as long as I can remember I’ve been putting cologne on like that. And thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it.
Youre absolutely correct
Just checked. The metallica justice for all t shirt actually goes for $312
The shirt Darrel is wearing is $100 on ebay, pretty good condition. I haven't found it anywhere else.
35 years later this is the best form of entertainment on TH-cam. All these people who try so hard to make content need to understand scripting doesn't work. Be YOU and go with the flow! That's what makes us human.
I guess a camera is the closest thing to a time machine
And music
True
yeah, you can see and hear things that happened as much as 130+ years ago! that's just about as close to time travel as we're ever gonna get
And the Internet without it we wouldn’t see videos from the past
And movies
Our parents taking their kids to McDonald’s was like going to a mini theme park. It was a big thing to us kids when we were little
Absolutely
Yeah now McDonald’s is all some people can afford
Yep!! It was a very special day if we went to McDonald's!
@@gwenmloveskpopandmore now noone can afford it. 4 bucks each for what used to be 2 for 1.50 breakfast burritos!
@@floridagirl386 yeah but there are some poor people who go there cause they can’t afford anything else
Going to McDonald's back then was like going on a vacation trip
I loved going to McDonald's, Bob's Big boy and thrifty for ice cream. We also had this place called Yogurt Mill. It was the best place for frozen yogurt back in the day.
Probably because you were 6 😂
Yup the 80s were fun times as a kid or teenager if I could go back the 80s be it
please tak me bk to 1989 but let me go with my kids lol
You maybe had two or three McDonald's in a medium sized town back then instead of one on every street today.
going to McDonalds as a kid was an absolute treat
Going anywhere in the 80s was a absolute treat!
Any other place back then was worth the trip
I wonder if it was actually more better
@@TVTIME-be8ze Yes, it was. Beef was better, Fries were better.
@@TVTIME-be8ze it was
Y’all was vlogging in the 80s
Chaotic_ Gaming I wouldn’t call it vlogging most people just bought cameras in the 80s to film random stuff or bought it to film and look at the tapes in the future
go look at the 5ninthavenue channel.
Austin Michael Sullivan
@@AustinMichael yeah I seen a vid from there it was like 86 I think and he was vlogging, he was a gay dude that died of aids.
Nelson Sullivan was a "vlogger" in the 80's. Ahead of his time. Those cameras were huge.
This is such a huge flex of how good life was back then
Yeah.... how good life was... sure
@@scarletpumpernickel8260 what's that supposed to mean?
@@axlreese4766 legit look at all the shit that happened back then. Its not that hard to understand that I mean life was not good back then
@@scarletpumpernickel8260 I know it had its issues but look at how much better and fun and all it looked back then and then compare it to the shit were dealing with now
@@axlreese4766 exactly, life was good for some people, and not others. Speak for yourself, and not everyone.
Mother is kind and letting the kids be kids while still in charge. Also struck by how diligent and attentive the cashier was...with a genuine smile.
And then there's today. Not depressing at all.
The workers were completely serious and diligent and attentive back then. Serious difference between then and now!

@@Vor_Tex_Sun as much as people like to crap on this idea, it genuinely was a better time
McDonalds, Motley Crue T-shirt, mom asking about Bon Jovi Tickets, Duck Tales was the toy at McDonalds! What an awesome video, I was 9 in 1989 so this video touches home for my childhood. Miss those days
I was ten in 89 haha .. and duck tales was my favorite show . Wow crazy
Greg Frable I Loved ducktales I was 9 also I felt the exact same way you did when I first saw this video. That's Awesome. 🙂✌️💙
Yes Ducktales was very popular then. Every time I think about it , I think of getting home from school and that was THE cartoon to watch.
Love DuckTales! I can hear the theme song in my head! 💯
My mom was the same age as these kids at that time . She had me in 95 at the age of 18 so in 89 she would of been 12 .
It's cute how smiley and welcoming people were to being filmed in the 80s lol
that's because everybody didn't have a cell phone shoved in everybodys face 24 7
@Ollie Haze just stop... The baby boomer generation is important. Paul Mcacarteny is a boomer.
Paul McCartney is from the Silent Generation. 1925-1945

This video rocks! I was 11 in 89. Everything notable mentioned in this was huge. From the tshirts, mom talking about Bon Jovi tix, Bill & Ted...jeez. Almost brings a tear to my eyes. Such easier times then before technology took over. Thanks for sharing this video!
me too
These kids had no idea that commercials would one day be inserted into their family home video.
gt345 that’s actually weird
Oh lol
I read your comment just as a commercial came on!
I’m sure they do. They monetized the damn video lol
@@allieboy181 Sure, way back in '89 with no internet.
This kid was actually smart enough to use a wind MIC most kids these days still have the wind blowing into their vlogs
ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS
And he new how to get a close up on the mic using macro
Well it aint that hard considering the primitive canra he is using. You act like this is mindblowing lmao.
@@paris5663 it actually is concerning the fact that vlogging was non existent in 1989
@@quitplaying6190 yeah it is if you don't want that fucking in the video making all that noise shit sound super dumb
So great you captured these moments. I wish I was born in the 70s-80s
Born in the 80s doesnt help you to experience them. I was born in 87 and missed all this. Youd need to be born in about 72 or 73 to really get a feel for the 80s and come of age in the 90s. Great decades for sure. I was their ages in the early 00s.
If you were born from 1980-1983 you would remember some of the 80's like the late 80's. You would be between the ages 9 to 6 years old by 1989. I was born in 1982 and I was 7 years old in 1989. I remember mid-late 80's.
@@joshuatraffanstedt2695 I was born in 74. Definitely an 80s child. Wouldn't trade it for the world
merfwriter Hiley I was born in 73 & that time was the best time to be a teenager.
I was born WAY before that era, like 68, and trust me kids the 70s sucked.... Microwave ovens didn’t come out Till like the mid 70s no cable TV we only had five channels via in Antenna... The only thing you had like in the 60s may be in the 50s as well was just landline telephone, a car with just old school radio, tv with just five channels as we just got... But then again the upside there were board games of every kind if you went to the toy store that’s where you found all your fun things that I can’t even list off the bat nothing Eletronic, zero! And when the 80s rolled around things got more interesting👍👍😎 90s same thing and the rest well you can see that you were born then Ha ha
No stupid phones, no rudeness, no karens, no crackheads, no disgusting cursing, just good fun. Great stuff, love it!!!!
Thanks. 👍
Just good times!
Remember, southpark taught us that fondly looking back on how things used to be is racist and bigoted. Who cares that back then a whole family could be supported on a single paycheck? CEO's need to pay for that third summer home people!
@@Surprise_Inspection Inflation used to fund the welfare state steals from the working class.
Yes!! My future kids will not be raised the way kids today are being raised. They will not be sitting on electronics and video games all day everyday. They will be limited to only a couple hours a day outside of schoolwork. I wish more parents would raise their kids the way they were raised.

Phantomtized112, people really were nicer back then. I remember 1989 well.
I may want to drown myself in a fry vat, or secretly hope a car hits me when I'm taking out a parked order, but I smile dammit.
@@superfreshfunkymonkey7509 me too! Most people won't see my smile because it's covered by a mask (that has a smile on it), but I overcompensate with my voice. As long as customers aren't rude to me, I will do my very best to smile and be nice.
yeah and a pitcher of water... smiles and politeness..dam the 80s will be missed
@@joeltunnah all for good reason as it was great times back then. Life was simple and easy going unlike today's outraged, angry, and overly sensitive people.
I grew up in Huntsville! I’ve been in this McDonald’s countless number of times. I worked at McDonald’s on University and wore the maroon version of that uniform!!! Omg i have been transported back in time. I was 16!!! McDonald land cookies were the best! Thanks for the memories.
Cheers! Thanks for watching! -D
Yes I miss those cookies 🍪
If that was you in the video you looked good looking
Texas?
Does this McDonald's still exist?
People in 1989: You filmed a trip to McDonald's? That sounds boring.
People in 2020: A video of a trip to McDonald's?! I want to see what that looks like!
Exactly
Same!! I always wanted to see what McDonalds looked like from the 80s because I was born in the 2000s

Great time capsule! I was born in 1963, and going to McDonald's in the 1970s was a treat for us kids. The apple and cherry pies were my favorite thing.

I'm also a 70 model , we had the absolute BEST toys.
Yes it was I was born in 68
I was born in 1970. Nobody had as much fun as we did.
I’m 38 and I remember the feeling of being driven in the back of those 80s cars, those McDonald’s cups and generally what it felt like to live in a world that had a sense of mystery behind things. A magical time
1983 baby too 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Me too, I was born in 1982 and I remember McDonalds in the late 80s with the cups and bags with the MMMMMMMMMMMMMs all around it and the styrofoam containers the Mcnuggets came in, 1988-89 era.

I was just a year old in 1989, but somehow I can feel the late 80's and early 90's nostalgia from the scene by looking at this footage. Thank you for sharing the memories, Eric and Darrell.
I think it's because society has changed SO drastically since the internet started coming popular. So while it not be your specific era, it's still far far closer to it in feel than anything currently happening.
‘89 was kind of a bittersweet year for me. I was 24 and you could tell the era was coming to an end. You could already feel the scene starting to die and sadly so were a lot of other things in my personal life at the time. What a fun decade that was, though. I really, really miss it. Thanks for having the presence of mind to chronicle “a day in the life” from back then. Circumstances caused me to become separated from a lot of my own pictures and videos from that period so it’s cool to be able to walk down memory lane through someone else’s experiences.
What do you mean by the scene was starting to die?
The 80’s didn’t fully die till 91-92, but yeah the scene was beginning to end.
J Ramirez The metal scene. Between around ‘89-‘92 you could see interest in big hair, over the top metal music starting to die off and stuff like grunge, shoe gaze and post-punk start taking over.
John the great thing is that you and I were lucky enough to to grow up in the 70’s and 80’s. I hope your life is good now.
@@krazykat64 once the song 'smells like teen spirit' came out Thats when the 90s started
He said “too bad we can’t go bck in time” .. this vid made it possible
Discussing movies in the car after McDonald’s is a lost art
Ohh nooo phones bad
Lmao u know ppl can still talk abt films I’m the car??😂
You got that right nobody watches movies anymore lol on my work all the people are thinking is work and money 😅
Sadly, yes
I just want to know if they watched Bill and Ted's after that. Sounds like the mom sold it very well.
What a trip down memory lane! This back nostalgic childhood memories for me. Thanks for sharing these old vlogs you all made for fun before vlogging was a thing. Love this 🫶 🍟 🍔 🥤
I have no idea why TH-cam recommended this to me, but it was absolutely epic. These guys are the OG vloggers. The Motley Crue and Metallica tshirts, Huntsville, AL, the Volvo station wagon, the 80’s mom, the original Sam’s Club they passed, the McDonald’s employee was actually friendly, got that hamburger jail deal on the outdoor playground, talking about Bill and Ted on the way home. This video is all around epic.
No iPhones also
When was the sams xlub3?
I couldn't agree more!
And iron maiden as well
This is in Alabama?
When everyone acted relatively normal, and not like they were constantly auditioning for some crappy reality show gurning into a phone.
and hear people putting cartoon music in their rap music to get more money. like im actually hearing somebody use the end of the spongebob intro and putting the tune into their song. music, bragging about how cool and pretty their girlfriend is. what is 2020 anymore?
@@niffuM4205 as much as I get annoyed about people being pessimistic about current times. I'm gonna have to agree with this statement.
This kid is not acting normally... he is mugging for the camera.

Bon Jovi tickets lmao
Love it!!

6:26 Awwwwww, she had such a sweet smile when she realized she was being filmed. That really brought joy to my heart. Nowadays that attitude toward being filmed is nonexistent. I hope she sees this.
me too !! hope she's doing wonderful, so pretty :-)
@Rodney NormanNot all of us lol. I avoid it at all costs.
Because she knew the video wasn't going to be posted for the world to see.
The dude in the Motley Crue shirt he’s cool asf and I’m thinking the one in striped shirt is the mom. You can tell she’s looking at them like “yo turn the camera off and eat please”
Awhh she looked cute how old is she now ?
Think about this. Mcdonalds had a pitcher of water on the counter. These days they would never allow that due to fear of somebody poisoning it.
Exactly
covid too everyone grabbing the handle not really following the CDC
Yeah, the pitcher stood out to me too. I would have been like 5 or 6 at this time. I'm really missing the simpleness of this time right now.
Or some jackass stealing the pitcher
Yeah
I was born in 1979 so I grew up in the mid 80s-mid late 90s. I would give anything to go back! If I had one wish, it would be to relive 1985-1996 over and over again (those years to me was special), not as an adult but as I was back then, a kid and teenager. Words cannot describe how awsome that time was. I never wanted to grow up!😄
Real talk im 40 those times were simpler times!
I was born in 1977 and I agree with you. I particularly liked 1991 to 1996. 1993 was a great year.
I was born in like 1988 and I loved 1994/1995 also 1999 and 2008,
But if I was asked what years to revive it would be 2012/2013
Yeah. I was born in 79 also. I totally agree.
Me too!
Brings back great 80's memories. These kids seem so normal compared to kids of today 😂 Thanks for posting this video. Very enjoyable.
Yeah, back then going to McDonald's was a treat because you're mom only took you every three months. Now you go to McDonald's twice a week because you're depressed over 2020.
I don't even remember the last time I've been there. It's completely up to you. Want to live like people back in the 80s did? Then do it.
@@VintageFlowers I will do it
Twice a week? I see families order Happy Meals daily! When I was a kid, we had McDonalds once in a blue moon maybe if I passed a test or kept up on chores.
I think you mean twice a day
Yep! Exactly right. I was recently addicted to their tea; went there everyday. It was an opportunity to get out of the house. But I’ve had to cut out sugar, so No mo’ Mickey D’s tea for me. 😔
Explains the headache I’ve had for about 18 hrs now.
I'm the same age as them...and I really miss the "camera smile" you see when a stranger notices they are being filmed...innocent surprise and wonder...
That just made me so deeply sad

@@charlotte52yearsago84 How is being a decent human being dramatic? Wtf.
Colgator his nostalgia for this time is clouding his vision. He’s being dramatic by saying kids these days have meltdowns over cold fries and stuff. Idk why ppl think children are just born different nowadays it’s obviously a persons environment that shapes their behaviour.

Love the vibes, the hairstyles, and the commentary. A glorious look at the 80s in all its splendor.
The good old days. Times were simpler and purer then.

@@veryfungamesawesome why is that a problem haha
80s best decade, hands down!
Yep, I say from the 70s-early 00s was good ol times, even though I was born in 97,i know it's better than the 2010s generation
Everything is better than 2020
Ironclaw XII as someone who lived thru the 80s, I am not saying the 80s didn’t have their problems, I a, saying that for me it was the best decade ever - Movies, music, interpersonal relations, fashion, and the lack of information readily available made for a better life imo.
NY and LA had massive problems, but many places were flourishing.
Ironclaw XII However, I do not apreciate being called an idiot over a differing opinion - Yet another reason the 80s were awesome, no aggressive keyboard warriors.
Ironclaw XII Also, terrible things happened way more back then, is a very inaccurate statement.
I love how mom is talking up Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure at the end

@@jasonh2615 Holy shit, just looked it up and yeah you're definitely right there lol
I just went back in the Time Machine and bought it from him for 5 bucks.. I got it right here!!!
@Jeff Gordon actually if I had one I would just stay there.
@Jeff Gordon I'd buy precious metal if I could go back (gold was $400 an ounce, silver even cheaper). I already have about 20 shirts that are 20-30 years old from my youth. I have original Motley Crue, Metallica, Pink Floyd, etc. shirts. I also have most of my very-valuable-now 1980's toys.
Being a kid back then was so great! Life has change so much and I really miss those days. 80’s baby here!
I did'nt search for this, and yet i watched all of it. God i miss the 80's/90's.
Me too lol
Took the words right outta my keyboard.

@@alio6051 wow you are really out of touch. And the fact that someone is actually liking your comment too....
I still can't believe I'm watching this. But it really is like a time capsule, a period piece. Really gives you the 80s vibe
Thank you so much for uploading this. Brings back memories from back in the day

McDonalds is nasty now

@@midnyghtski6505 fine*
Bullshit
@grizz Lee You don't understand lockdown do you?
I like how the lady who works at the McDonald’s looks up at the camera and smile’s
This is is when people were not comfortable being filmed and it was a rarity.
I remember working at McDonald's in my hometown in 1986 when I graduated from high school, I was 19. Seeing this from 1989 brings back memories when McDonald's was good and was a family restaurant especially for the kids with a playground. I liked the McDlt.
These kids should get back together now in 2020 and try and re- film this.
YES! That would be brilliant!

The blonde one was killed in a motorcycle accident when he was high on lsd in 1999.
Jelton Inc. This is so UNORIGINAL ... you can do “better” ... let’s see what you’ve got.
Okay so I just looked through their channel and they are still close and make videos!
This is how I remembered McDonald’s as a kid! Thank you for posting this! It brings back a lot of memories
This almost brings a tear to my eye. I loved those times. I was only 11 in 1989 but remember clearly how happy those days were.
I was in 7th grade and can’t help of thinking that if I could jump through this screen and go back I would.. Many friends and family are still alive on that other side.
I was 8 years old awww my god the nostalgia just watching this I could cry 😢
Super job Eric and Darrell. I remember eating at McDonalds when I was a little boy 1980 -1986 at Kettleman City Ca. I would get sooooooooooooooo excited when my mom would buy me a Happy Meal w/ toy inside! I miss those good ol' days !
The mom was spot on on saying they’re Bill and Ted
McDonald's auditors...

I only had one guy so far, who was like that in 2008, but I did nothing illegal. He decided to suspect I was spying on him, when I didn't even film a tiny bit of him! And he had the nerve to be the criminal, by trespassing. By crossing Main St. to the front of where I lived. I did nothing illegal. I didn't commit copyright infringement either. I wasn't at a movie theater or at an NFL game, FGS!
Never thought I'd be watching home videos of people I don't know. Thank you. I love it! Brings me back to my childhood.
Glad you enjoyed it -D
Same here

One of the reasons I love these videos is not just to see a time before I was born, but also to see Huntsville! A best friend of mine who I don't get to see much anymore lived there, and its a great place. I like what seeing the same places familiar to me looked like over 30 years ago. I appreciate the pure chance that these videos are set in Huntsville when they could have just as easily been in some city I've never even heard of.
Yep. I noticed which Mcdonalds this is. Food World used to be right across the street. On the other side, Alabama Inn. Both are gone now.
I agree it is in Huntsville Alabama..and in the 85-92 era ..40-5O a year was a lot of money... Pi. Plus it is a great place I've done research after watching this videos.......not to mention well they r smart ..bit the cost of all the video an games .theirs parents made $$...an in the Huntsville.... early 88s-90s........i get your point with your comment.......I'm in ny. Got 5yrs from retirement..... Huntsville ..heres my family all comes! ...
It’s crazy how similar yet different everything is
The quality of the camera is not bad for 1989
To clean a quality for 89
I know right especially for a regular camera, not a tv camera.
Kids...
Old video doesn't look bad as long as you got the original tapes, stored them well and digitized them.
👍🏻
It's very good quality for 1989. Basically close to professional quality for the time.
"Sorry, ma'am, our ice cream machine was broken in 1989 too."
This is indescribably cool. So freaking amazing. They even had some video editing in there too!
Imagine if their mom would’ve gotten mad and stopped them filming right there and then? So glad she was supportive of her kiddo’s and allowed them to have fun with a recorder. Thanks mom.
Yes most of all thank this mother whoever you are. Love this brings back memories
You started vlogging before I was even an egg.
Your mother wasn't even alive in 1989?
You mean a fertilized egg?
myp0v funny poopies
Same with me because I was born in 2005
苑安雄 His mother was alive in 1989. He wasn’t.
Man. I was 17 when this was made. The video content (a trip to McDonald’s) was uneventful, but I watched every minute as it was a time machine that took me back to a more innocent era.
Wow, I was 18 when this was filmed. Takes me back❤
I wish someone created a whole retro city where everything is in the 80s n 90s. Even the technology.
I’d sign up to live there 👍🏻😄
Quesa Dilla I know they have like tourist old towns set up to look like the 1800’s or Wild West wouldn’t it be interesting to have one where it’s the 70’s 80’s 90’s?
Quesa Dilla it’s a great business idea for an entrepreneur who had money to invest or can get investors. With the large millennial and Generations x and z who yearn for nostalgia it could be a lucrative business.
Hell yeah. Sign me up!
Come to France. Your dreams will come true
I was in my mid 20's during this time period, and working at McDonald's. I recognized everything on that menu board, the cookies. The burgers were so much better then too.
And the apple pies
they used real meat back then lol....
I've heard the fries were much better too, Back then they used beef tallow to fry now they use processed soybean oil.
“Playing a guitar that isn’t there.” Lol I just love Eric’s mom. What a sweet lady she seems to be.
Cost of food was expensive even for the 80s and definitely for McDonald's fast food. Love the nostalgia. So glad the mom was just chill about filming and letting her kids live their best lives.
For a 90's kid there was nothing more fun than going to a McDonalds, it was something iconic and memorable, going there was exciting, an experience. I remember the Super Mario Bros. toys.
And I bet the food was better in those days.
If those kids saw modern prices, they’d get a heart attack
They are now as adults
Yes but I was making $5 an hour plus commission at a quick oil change shop and that was decent money for an 18 year old back then.
@@Kgio-2112 times have definitely changed!
The mom says “You two are Bill and Ted”
The kid says “ except we can’t go back in time”
He was not able to go back in time but was able to bring all of us back in time for sure.
…..Life was simpler for the better back them.
The simplicity of life is so relaxing to be able to relive through a video... 80s were amazing but I am grateful for the internet otherwise i wouldn't be able to watch stuff like this
