90's Toy Commercials Were Absolutely Wild

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

The Micro Machines guy is John Moschitta Jr, a New Yorker who once held the Guinness World Record for the fastest talker (his record was broken in 1990). He's the one who sang Michael Jackson's BAD in twenty seconds. He can articulate 586 words per minute which is still incredible

[@siduri9522]

Fun fact, I snuck out of the house routinely as a teen, and used my brother’s ground floor window to get back in (because he could and has slept through a tornado before). One night he left his Teddy Ruxpin near the window and it must have had a motion sensor or something and as I slipped inside it announced, “Hi, my name is Teddy Ruxpin, can you and I be friends?” And proceeded to kick its dang fool head off. He was grounded for breaking his Christmas gift, and I confessed my crime to him on his 30th birthday. But really, I did us all a favor, because that thing was terrifying talking nightmare fuel in fuzzy bear form.

[@alicesmith7020]

Okay I'm 63. I didn't have a skip it but I did have a precursor to it. It had a hard plastic ring that you slipped over your foot and around your ankle, a plastic cord that attached to a ball with jingle bells in it. I also had an operation game that would scare the bejesus out of me. I did have an easy bake oven and I absolutely loved it. I got my granddaughter an easy bake oven for her birthday one year and she absolutely loved it. My youngest son had a Teddy ruxpin and even after it broke he would not let me get rid of it. I think it's still around here somewhere. Everybody had Hot Wheels. I was really disappointed not to see rock'em sock'em robots. Great stroll down memory lane.

[@freethebirds3578]

Our school has had the low-tech, plastic skip-its in every classroom's playground equipment since 2019. Few of them get used because the ankle loop either doesn't fit over kids' shoes or it is too loose and flies off as they play. And there's always the one kid who uses it as a flail, swinging it at kids for no good reason.

It felt like an unsafe drug deal going back there to get that toy she wanted so badly . She only played with it a few times too .

[@missipenix]

I wanted a Skip-It, but I had adult size feet as a third grader so that didn't happen lol. I had a friend whose dad got drunk, screwed around with Teddy Ruxpin, and would thereafter use it to play his Metallica tapes (I guess it wasn't supposed to be able to play anything but the official TR tapes). The Easy Bake oven needed a 100 watt light bulb and at least 3 in my neighborhood caught fire. This is why I never got one for my daughter when she was little, even though it was supposed to be safer lol. I was low-key hoping for My Buddy/Kid Sister, but they aren't often in the 'old toy commercial reaction' videos.

I remember finding my childhood Teddy Ruxpin sometime in highschool and using him to play a Metallica tape! Good times!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I remember a lot of these. Sincerely, the girl from the 90s.

[@alabamaguns3684]

We had the sockem boppers for one day. My dad was really protective. He was worried I would hurt my little brother so he said "take it easy dont hurt him." Well my little brother just so happened to be just enough shorter than me that every punch he threw hit me square in the nose. My eyes started tearing up after several punches. I finally shouted "I quit!" Also I remember the furbies. I never had one but always thought they looked eerily similar to a character named Furbis from Masked Rider. (It came on Saturday mornings)

[@brendaokuda2158]

Heck, y'all should check out some of the nightmare toys we had when I was a child in the early to mid 60's. ROFL

[@CarolineJoyAmico]

That, and your creepy Easter bunny.

[@joanmelnick1704]

ATARI, etc commercials were my favorite. The 70s -mid 80s especially.

[@anastasiacelestine3571]

People were laughing right at the intro. I'm here for it.🍿

[@carissahoffmann5012]

I feel like i am the only one who loved her furby and still thinks their great!

[@tiffanyhaddox7499]

I remember most of those commercials. I feel so old now.

[@tebame]

you needed to include creepy crawlers, wood burning kit, and Jarts!!!

[@ponykarr1396]

Man, I loved Jarts.

[@marycerrone3281]

Love creepy crawlers, make them with my nephew and each year he made some into Christmas gifts.

[@lawr5764]

Those were before their time. You can make some nice fishing lures with the Thingmaker, if you cook them with a fish hook inside.

[@mommyharris1111]

You all are you youngin’s. These toys are from my KIDS childhoods. I still have my 29 year olds Teddy Ruxpin.

[@janieclaypool9842]

I would love to see toy commercials from the 60’s There must have been multiple ways to off ourselves there also. Lol!

[@RandomRockPaints]

Dang! I thought I was not that much older than them. I remember these toys when I was a kid. Even looking thru the Sears catalog to make a Christmas list. 👀

[@msmeowmeow5107]

I had all but two of these toys lol

[@melissapollime2271]

My childhood... Never could get into Teddy Ruxpin. Loved Skip it! Funny we had real boxing gloves until the bop-it came out. LOL!

[@KristaKissinger]

Skip It--- I remember that song like yesterday :D

[@debrarevay7493]

I remember buying Teddy Ruxpin at K-Mart. I was grown too. lol I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world at the time. I still have Teddy in the original box and everything that came with it. I even bought an extra outfit for Teddy. I'm 65 years old and I still think he is cute, no matter what anyone says.

[@j.s.matlock1456]

I survived Jarts (Lawn Darts) in the 60s. I am invincible.

[@nikkirockznikkirockz8551]

..If I recall, the Micro-Machine guy was in the Guinness book (at that time) for being the World's Fastest Talker.. Sidenote: You haven't lived untiL you were a kid in the 80's and put a "Straight Outta Compton" cassette inside your Teddy Ruxpin!!! 😂

[@jeremylandry858]

So glad the correct pronunciation of sockem boppers was used

[@DoctorQuackenbush]

I remember my little sister’s EZ Bake oven. It had a real light bulb for heat.

[@brittanysmth90]

My sisters both had the Easy Bake oven and Operation and Guess Who?. Furbys just creeped me out! Lol. 🤣🤣Childhood in the 90’s and early 2000’s ruled!

[@amboy362]

90's Toy Commericals are "Back in the Days?" Man do I feel old

[@vampkllr]

Am I the only one who thought they were sock'em boppers? Nephew had them, he loved em.

[@KristaKissinger]

I had two furbies... they are AMAZING lol :)
