unfortunately there's a lot of millennials on KZbin, it's the majority because they grew up with KZbin, in reality the 90's were the best, why? because it bridged the gap between bad tech and good tech, 2000's kids already had PS2 and N64 ect, cellphones were already popular... it wasn't a defining area, it's just that millennials are LOUDER, more ignorant and they believe they are entitled to an age that they didn't grow up in (what the 90s kids experienced). It's sad, 2000 kids basically just wish they were 90s kids but think the word "aesthetic" means a theme from a specific age, no sorry it's an artistic explanation that millennials shouldn't use.

Does anyone remember this brand of toys that were battery-powered hamsters that you could collect? They were called Zhu-Zhu Pets, and I became an avid collector of them. They came in many skins, and they would move and turn every time you turned them on. There was one major rule: Don't get hair in the wheels. There were also side series like Zhu-Zhu Pet Babies and Kung Zhu. I think I had around 30 of them, and my first ones were Nugget and Scoodles. I think it started with around 6 or 12 to collect, but then it grew over the years. I remember having this Pizza set where your Zhu-Zhu Pet would go into a drive through, and these wheels hidden inside would make the treadmill transport the pizza boxes into a delivery scooter, and your Zhu-Zhu pet would drive in the scooter. Those toys were cool af. I think I stopped collecting around 2012, but they made me become a collector of things in the future.

[@ratkid_kelp]

Yes! I had a pink one, my sister had a yellow one, and we shared a third white one. They made those little noises and rolled around the kitchen, so cute! But like you mentioned, my parents were worried we’d get our hair in the wheels lol. I think they also had some zhu zhu mice in later years.

Such a nostalgia rabbithole. Despite being a 2010s kid I grew up with 2000s content, since apparently Finland has always been a bit delayed with the times. The cooking toys, the gross out toys, it's all so nostalgic. I rememver being in preschool and being disgusted by my classmate since he owned some Garbage Pack things! I remember begging my dad for so many of these toys. The magic balloon things, the pillow pets especially! I remember seeing the advertisements and BEGGING my dad for one. I remember seeing them at Prisma and being so jealous of anyone who got them :) I remember my cousin having some of those cooking toys and loving them. I distinctly remember seeing the slushie thing and wanting one... I wanted everything, TBH 😂 my uncle (who is the same age as me, don't ask how that works) had a Play Doh cookign toy and it was so cool. I was enameted by it. The Play Doh looked so dang tasty! We didn't have the plastic balloon things, but we had something similar. These bubbles that you could blow and hold with special gloves! They were so darn sticky. I remember seeing some American advertisements on KZbin and being jealous of them! Not necessarily 2000s, but I remember being obsessed with Animal Jam and being so upset to not have Walmart here. Anyways, thank you for this goldmine of nostalgia! Edit: AHAHAHA I had the Potato! I don't know where he is now, but I had him! I remember playing a lot with him :)

[@Ash21]

I wouldn't say that Disney buying star wars ruined the toys and that they haven't been better since, I always saw it as more of a mix bag: Yea you had those awful cheaply made figures but they also brought us The Black Series, basically splitting the toys into 2 separate things: cheaper Five Points of Articulation figures for kids, highly detailed figures mainly geared towards older kids and collectors. The Vintage Collection (the line that was going on right when Disney bought star wars) was changed over to the Black Series 3.75 inch line which released alongside the main 6 inch figures. Then in 2018, Disney/Hasbro discontinued the 5poa line and brought back The Vintage Collection alongside continuing 6 inch Black Series, both figures have never been more detailed and as poseable. Outside of that, great video! A lot of nostalgia!

That aesthetic is based on what is commonly referred to as "designer toys" but the ones you showed are geared more for kids, obviously. Designer toys are generally abstract in appearance, sometimes it takes a political jab at society, or maybe it's just influenced by pop culture or modern art. They span all sorts of concepts.

I know it helped a lot of kinds remember some of the things they had (I had a 10-20 trash pack collection 10 that I def bought myself one was from series three and gold or whatever the rare was at that moment) and I lost most if not all childhood toys due to my parents splitting and storages not getting paid for. The trash packs are deff long gone but I do definitively have a couple strong arms and such from the affordable line or nerf guns…

The metal fight beyblades will always be my favorite childhood toy. They were simple but very fun to play with. Also, really miss lego spongebob.

[@misseselise3864]

my brother loved them but we lost our beyblade privileges because we’d chuck them at each other when we were fighting

[@two_capyzzz]

A large collection of Bionicles, you say? You wouldn't happen to also collect Transformers, would you? Cuz that would definitely do it for me, lol!

[@itz_cerwinvegafan1474]

I had the iDog toy from from Burger King I was like 3 at the time and I think I still have it in the attic but I do remember accidentally breaking a part of the dog but I forgot which part though. Also something related I remember the Angry Birds pencil toppers along with the Angry Birds board games they had I think one of them was called Knock On Wood or something like that.

The aesthetic is called Frutiger Aero

Gogos crazy bones ran my childhood for awhile there, I’d be so hyped when a new series would be announced. Trash pack brought back a lot of memories. Such a great video

[@SunsetEnvy]

I remember always watching the toy ads on my old tv, the toys were always overpriced or not sold in my country. I remember wanting this one big robot dinosaur pet.

[@lulsleeprest8964]

When i was 6 or something the pillow pet commercial song got stuck so bad in my brain i sang it all the time so much that my parents got so sick of it and decided to buy me one and end the suffering Im now 18 and i still have it👍

[@saint-and-sinner]

toy commercials were some of the first videos i watched as a child on youtube with no parental guidance whatsoever the cooking toys especially gave me a rush of nostalgia, i guess i was more gravitated towards toys that created stuff. so it was not just cooking toys, but the play doh ones (i vividly remember owning the cake maker), jewelry makers with a bunch of pretty beads, and orbeez. besides that there were a bunch of doll commercials i watched and some other toys i forgot the names of. mainly that one toy you can make your own pixel art from (kinda like perlers but also not really??) and a toy where the pieces are made of something like rubber or plastic, shaped like fidget spinners the most(??) and you can connect them together. i made a ball with those toys

[@Trey_816]

Nothing beats the Lego Star Wars from the era.

[@D4NY301]

I had MadBalls and ended up squeezing it too hard in the back of a car and it popped spilling everywhere XD

[@Mctoran2]

Bioncle is a timeless gen

[@thedoctor21]

Damn, some of these commercials were a trip to memory lane for me. I used to own a pretty good number of Trash Pack toys (I used to call them "Trashies" as a kid), I remember getting the Make Your Own Martian toy as shown in this video, and I also owned a ton of Gogos and Squishies. I remember Pillow Pets and the Slushy Magic advertisements playing a lot on DisneyXD whenever I came back from my local Playground Program as a kid. Also shoutout to those Super Hero Squad and also to that Star Wars series, I used to collect a ton of those toys and had a blast.

[@jaxonbobbitt5779]

Great video 😊

[@SuperHexer123]

God I absolutely loved the Crazybones series of blindbag toys. My parents even got me the collectors books and would often use them as things like stocking stuffers. I think I still have most of them back at my family home, but I kept the little grimm reaper one and I set him on the speakers on my desk.

[@sympatheticflake890]

it really depends, some of it are just carried by nostalgia.

[@ClubbingBabySealz]

Tech deck dudes....they legit where the shit growing up as a kid. Plus each "dude or dudette" you got had their own theme/vibe and name that was usually pun based off their characters.

[@purebones]

we had such a similar childhood interest wise 😭 watching this was so nostalgic i adore ur channel dude can't wait for u to get even more recognition!

[@ashton5493]

If I could go back in time I would go shopping and get all of the toys I wanted but my parents always said no to.
