An Inconvenient Truth

I travel back in time and break some hard news to myself.
Young Freddie played by Philip - you may remember him from this video: • 11 year old Freddie Wong
Also I may have inadvertently invented Flamin' Hots, Terminator 2 style

[@Detinator247]

the word "company" after apple would have made him a billionare lmao

[@surplusgus1562]

No it wouldnt of, this video took place in 1998, apple was founded in 1975 as i recall.

[@surplusgus1562]

***** Good point

[@WTFZOMG]

***** Apparently theyre almost the first trillion dollar company now.

[@rafael53461]

+randomkidlol 300bi dollars is very much money, I don't believe that this is considered 'almost'

[@Detinator247]

*Buys granny smith apple company

[@68corvette08]

I wonder what the younger Freddie would've done if the older Freddie told him to buy Windows. He probably would've went to Home Depot.

[@legitname6687]

Actually he would've said "buy microsoft" because apple is the company name and OS X is the operating system

[@crazynutguy]

lol

[@shiroyasha7324]

68corvette08 lol Yup XD

[@ShakotanCarlos]

I like how the 11 year old freddie is the same height as normal freddie

[@hns_203]

Well, you know the Freddie from the past actually is a fan of Freddie that looks pretty much just like him..

[@ShakotanCarlos]

yes i do know that

[@hns_203]

Ethan Shut the fuck up, you should realize that not every single person that watches Rocketjump doesn't know everything about Freddie..

[@hexabonesandblue886]

General Moon Agreed, But such thing called 'common sense' would have told everyone what you have said, Sherlock.

[@hns_203]

Hexabone SandBlue Well, ok you have a good point.

[@zerodark3505]

"Or you may forever alter the courth of time ithelf."

[@wirelessmoke]

lmao

[@cronos2216]

Let's all take a moment to realize Freddy's hoodie has as much room inside it as the tardis

[@pyrrha7124]

Freddie Who?

[@XFoonDom]

+Kevin Kong Freddies Who'die

[@shiroyasha7324]

cronos2216 yup :D

[@danielkim6751]

Lol. He literally bought an apple

[@brownman991]

XD and he has yet to figure it out

[@shiroyasha7324]

Daniel Kim lol Yup XD

[@minebrosfinest]

R/whoosh

[@nickli1564]

In other news, VR is a thing now.

[@DHTGK]

its actually not that bad besides headaches from playing for a while which is a obvious side effect and not being able to move around but you cant expect it to map out a map according to how your area looks like

[@Jakalope_Circles]

In other news, AR was a thing by now

[@iscott3187]

Yes

[@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421]

"Is that Star Wars?" "You don't want me to get started on that" If he had only waited until the end of the decade

[@wolfo11]

or even 5 years

[@kcrigar1]

I bought apple now wht do i eat it?

[@cryptonix02]

Flamin' Hot Cheetos were created in 1992.

[@DeathBringer769]

***** Guess Freddie didn't fact check his ridiculous scripts as usual, lol.

[@iaazzzz69420]

the older freddie is from the year 2011 and that's when hot cheetos DID exist and gave them to the 11 year old freddie

[@tricko1231]

Freddie was not a smart child

[@nervouspooper]

The video takes place in 1998 so flamin hot cheetos would have been invented by then

[@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421]

And apple was founded in 1976

[@shakaama]

oh lord i can't breath, he bought an apple. tears are rolling down my cheeks from laughing so hard. this is better than twilight.

[@TheCompanioncubie]

anything is better than twilight

[@firstnamelastname-bz4fp]

***** or...GASP...the second star wars trio (voice getting tired as dialogue continues and the loss of good pc gamers and the first spiderman movies and noobs and a lot of other things

[@DJET723]

Lol the kid couldn't take a hint.

[@thegaminghamster6670]

Twilight is a love story not a comedy

[@TheCompanioncubie]

The Gaming Hamster its basically a story with a moral that tells you that having a boyfriend is important. Its barely literature.

[@geovannibotticella7822]

Coming back to this video 10 years later. It barely occurred to me how kind of fucked up it was of Freddie to visit his past self just to tell him the future sucks

[@bouchandre]

2:10 Dat 1998 lcd monitor in the background

[@newgameld2512]

*WARNING: ANACHRONISM DETECTED! MUST RESET TIMELINES FOR SAFETY!*

[@MuhsinunChowdhury]

*Buys apple*

[@DHTGK]

i think he meant to buy the company apple not a apple

[@MuhsinunChowdhury]

freakingminecraftian yea ik xD

[@oppositeofme]

I admit the Apple joke at the end made me wheeze-laugh. lol

[@JoshuaQiujuanjuanjuan]

"Buy Apple" LOLOLOLOL

[@kotanaru3893]

Piano doesn't get girls, piano gets ladies.

[@redeye117]

Lol.. i cant imagine going back to time to past self and tell him .. " Dude in future they going to be new star wars, transformer movie, new gundam animes, kinect, and everything is going to be HD" .. Woah that fucking awesome cant wait for future... "except all of it going to suck."...

[@thepoptropicashow]

Almost a year later, and it's still one of my favorite reminders/youtube videos :).

[@deadzombieballs]

Also learned a lot of what it takes by watching a lot of your behind the scenes, so thanks for those and please keep them coming out, I need all the help I can get.

[@m00tmike]

This was one of my favorite freddiew videos of all time. Well done and well written.

[@4Lex64]

Hiro Nakamura, is that you? ;)

[@geraldang96]

same thought as well :D

[@lychos-games]

Well...he bought an apple.

[@TheRojam12]

Also, another one of these MUST be made

[@krymasururu]

That expression staring at an apple xD Im dying

[@robrules]

Watching this knowing that in 2020 there will be a mobile VR headset that has more resolution than the valve index makes me think that we are out of the dark days of gaming. Plus the nintendo switch is a thing that brings joy to so many people so we are definitely out of the dark days.

[@robrules]

I was talking about the oculus quest 2 btw

[@ShockPlus101]

1 year later and still funny as ever!

[@MyoticTesseract]

can't believe it's been ten years since this video... man

[@myamamomo3509]

Apple was back even way older than 1998

[@masafulgur4967]

why did i laugh so hard at that ending

[@nik96nik]

Imagine if Freddie post 2020 showed up in the video at the end

[@bladefist98]

I died when he said "Duke Out!" That Vid. Overdrift was awesome.

[@celestereynolds4536]

*stares intensely at apple*

[@dylanlockemp3]

best part was the apple bit.

[@CodyVondell]

rewatching some classic freddiew and look who i find in the comments lmao

[@dylanlockemp3]

@@CodyVondell bruhhhhhhhhhh lolololol

[@Wesley_C]

Freddie's back in the day

[@TheVideo1427]

The last part, is the best

[@xDeltaF1x]

Some fruit company...

[@yoshimaya1]

The ending is obvious now but i swear I lost it when i saw he litteraly bought an apple. I didn't see it coming

[@nickduran1185]

O my goodness you don't even want me to get started on how funny this is

[@bubbybalboy]

Legend has it he still is staring at that apple to this day!

[@IDOMIN3CRAFT]

Lol

[@linkeffect82]

While I'd say this is a bit too far from the truth (The last few years have been the dark ages? Come on) the skit was very well done and funny, so I give it a like.

[@waterguyroks]

The thing is, this video was done right when all the backlash for the Kinect was happening, so it's understandably a bit sensationalist. And to be fair, the point that it's making (motion controls are ruining gaming) is fairly accurate. The success of the Wii has led to a surge in developing for the "casual" audience and dumbing down games, while the Kinect is an absolute disaster.

[@snakevenom3888]

If you want proof that the wii sucks balls, play zelda skyward sword!

[@TheAvatarman33]

i always loved that part at the end with the apple xD

[@JasminLeblanc]

That overdrift reference. I'm dying.

[@SuperPhunThyme100]

Flamin' Hot Cheetos have been around since 1992...

[@PenguiNation]

How in the fuck did you get WiFi in 1998?

[@Galtran]

Why the fuck would he need internet to play a video? Is youtube all you know?

[@PenguiNation]

Galtran The dude was on KZbin. It sure has 1080p like it IS on youtube. Conversion would mean pixel downgrade. I.e. Resolution would look like shit.

[@moddified360]

He probably had the video pre-loaded lol

[@xoom1712]

He downloaded the video before.

[@ceb98]

The little Freddie is so cute though! Especially when he's just staring at the apple... Aw..

[@muddabuwshi6510]

Wished i could go back (2020)

[@bartjuuhhful]

You ment buy samsung

[@theojohanson]

👍

[@pork43]

THIS COMMENT HAS 3 FREAKIN' LIKES! HOW DID IT END UP ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE??

[@johnalogue9832]

You forgot MOBILE GAMING. Worse than the Wii, Kinect, and everything else stupid combined. Should've told him to buy Apple, then buy Microsoft and force them NOT to make tablet-computers that are stupid in every way.

[@johnalogue9832]

***** No. It's all about hype, addictive twitch gaming, and copying whoever is popular. A lot of mobile games have bad gameplay, graphics, and just try to squeeze all the value out of each concept until it's ridiculous. There are Angry Birds RACING games now. The games would be good if it weren't for the pointless hyping of everything and focus on fame and addictiveness over actual fun and quality.

[@futbolluva]

ProbeVoyages not to mention how they have polluted the market with their micro transaction philosophy

[@MrNight-dg1ug]

ProbeVoyages not true. you just suck at it. play Critical Ops. i got a server with 200 plus members

[@CapsForDaysXD]

The setting for seattle was amazingly accurate lol

[@xShadowsunx]

lovin the monster hoodie

A MASSIVE RANT ABOUT SHIT golden age for games for me was 1999 to 2010 before microtransactions and shit and when valve released games plus every game back then had been worked on for years where as nowadays they release a cod every year or just release a unfinished game and sell it for 60 dollars and well this year ubisoft they released 4 assassins creeds back then they would spend years on each game for example ac1 came out in 2007 then its sequel ac2 came out in 2009 and today they just released 4 ac games wtf they should go back to all way of making games like what GTA still does where they work on a title for 5 years and make a masterpiece which in turn gives them billions of dollars and they probably made more on gta v then those 4 acs put together and those 4 acs are all spin offs sure gta makes spin offs but in all of the games that they make they continue the story or explain something in the game about the main story ac doesn't anymore its just really quickly put together shit who's gonna buy all 4 acs each retailed at around 60 each and they all look shit plus why would they one of them in victorian london that's a really boring time period in english history i mean all you got then is child slavery and a industrial revolution i mean if they kept it in victorian times but not in london tho they should of put it during the opium wars cause that would be cool to see your guy high on opium fighting a bunch of asians or pirates you know what would be even cooler if you could choose your faction you could be the asians, pirates or even the british there's a lot of interesting things going on in that period but cotton mills and romance stuff that's more of a 40 year old girls thing what i don't understand is they finally got it right with ships and now they removed that there downgraded version of ac unity, rouge was way better than unity because it had ships and you were the templars as well and besides i don't really care who i play as but it has to be fun i mean com on ubisoft they used to be cool i thought they could be the next rockstar who so far haven't made a game that i hate but it looks like ubisoft will finally be the next EA. they could return to the lightside i do believe there is still good in them i think all that goodness should leave and go make a new company and leave ubisoft to rot away just like what Disney's done to lucasarts apart from they gave it to the devil of gaming wow disneys the devil of film and EA are devils of gaming. fuck u ubisoft go suck EAs dick

[@GetsugaMugetsuTensho]

Dear 1998 Freddie, Your future self meant to buy something from the company Apple. Thank you for understanding.

[@BlacknRedSN95]

DUKE OUT!!! i wasnt expecting that....Thank you for making my night, I'm going to watch some Overdrift

[@bruser526]

I kind of want to see a sequel to this to see what future buying an apple brings freddie

[@stormkern]

I absolutely lost it at the end.

[@juliancook1510]

i agree, this calls for a virtual high five

[@manalyshi]

I know right. It's pretty awesome.

[@toya.channel]

Philip grew up so much from that last video of him, nice :>

[@BluSprinks]

Freddie is psychic about that Star Wars thing

[@keywestalert6329]

I love that Freddie wears the simplest of clothes! And still makes it awesome!

[@melissabrooke1146]

Excellent, Philip! ❤️

[@nayuki2020]

Kinda expected to see like a forest of apple trees in the backyard when he traveled back

[@DriftyGoose]

Back to the future What a major paradox

[@NotForHire42]

00:58 - Freddie says he didn't believe himself either. Implying that when that version of himself was younger and encountered an older Freddie who tried to warn him, he didn't bring the Wiimote and Nunchuck and as a result he wasn't believed. So now he's trying to rectify that mistake.

[@aditya_on_youtube]

They didn't even try to make the house look like from the 90s. There is an LCD monitor in the background.

[@UnlimitedPowXx]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA THE END WAS HILARIOUS

[@asher8085]

I’ve watched this vid about 10 times and I just now got the joke about the apple at the end😂

[@TheSammaster9]

That was a reference to overdrift at the end!!! I never got that before XD

This aged really really well

[@joebob7771]

Was still 8 months till I was born in this vid

Blast from the past.

[@kringlerules]

"Is that Star Wars?" "Oh my goodness you don't even want to get me started on that." I feel the same way.

[@yvnggpapi5880]

Its almost been 5 years..

[@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421]

If I was able to tell my past self something about the future or give him some tips, I would tell him to give his crush a chance and not reject her.

[@Dog13crazy]

Reminded me of the part in Heros..

[@sebolio]

omg i laughed so hard at the kid looking at the apple like "come one, evolve or something"

[@roge0]

2:08 Didn't know flat screen computer monitors were that common in 1998, especially ones with Windows Vista stickers in the upper right corner.

[@mitchelldodson2323]

I tried that arm movement when he left all that got me was detention in school

I was born a year from the date at the beginning of this video
