I work in a McDonald’s, the happy meal toys now are awful. When I was a child, they were so good. The mp3 players slapped. Now they’re just paper /shitty plushies

[@F_H4wth]

Went into work today and some kid was upset they got the animal cards, didn’t know what to tell him 😂

[@F1dude.]

I wasnt around then but yea they are pretty appaling now

[@k.beastallphotography5734]

The toys these days are Awful....Working at McDonalds for 10 Years and watching the toys become less of a toy hurt, Take me back to the Speakers in 2006!

[@lillywillynilly]

good to know they’re the same shitty ones in europe because they’re like that in australia

[@Eviesg_furrytherian]

As someone with a very young sister who still has happy meals, can confirm

[@thatcloveplant]

the apparatus at primary school was the fucking best thing ever, you know it was gonna be a banging PE lesson when they got that shit out

[@moon_light7290]

they never got ours out once 😋

[@minmo2288]

They got it out at my school one time in 97 and a kid fell off and got a compound fracture, about a month later they had stripped it all out of the hall. 😭

[@thatonelad4594]

@@minmo2288what a selfish kid , he should’ve just not gotten a compound fracture

[@rinnniiiii]

I absolutely loved the apparatus! They always had the thinnest safety mats on earth and everyone would fight over who got to help put them out 😂 Those PE lessons were always goated

[@thatcloveplant]

@@rinnniiiii I loved putting the mats out! It was annoying and difficult to do but I felt so cool doing it

[@Nyarlathotetra]

I'm only 19, but happy to be nostalgic for a solid 75% of these. You know I've still got my gogo's crazy bones collection somewhere

[@Lara_editz]

Sameee I younger than that and I felt nostalgic for 75% aswelll😂😂

[@user-kq1zh4io7o]

same, Im 18 and not even british

[@Montana-h5y]

Me sitting here nostalgic as fuck at 33 years old 😂

[@ShaBoiLD]

@@Montana-h5y same, 33 too

[@ronniescerri4111]

Tbf you don’t need to be that old really, I’m 16 and can relate to almost all of this from growing up in the early 2010s

[@bigfoot5064]

Thank you George, I'd completely forgotten the Astrosaurs books, I'm now being overwhelmed with memories

[@random_4841]

Me too! The joy I felt when he said them. Oh my god.

[@Wolf36181]

I loved them so much!

[@Sarah22410]

Same tooo I loved them

[@StaunchMT]

Hexbugs in anything lower than A is fucking criminal

[@beans3117]

I love you

[@giddycadet]

hex bugs were a solid b. you'd take them out, let them trundle around for a bit bumping into things, realize they don't work on most surfaces and can't go far, then put them away. their saving grace is they do look insanely cool

[@TubaBluba789]

George, I'm actually a really big Gogo's Crazy Bones collector. One of the biggest in the world actually. I have over 6300 of them from all around the world, including some that are super rare and even a 1 of a kind prototype. There are actually quite a few hundred dedicated collectors within the Gogo's Crazy Bones community.

[@h0td0gwater]

this is amazing. I love collectors, wow.

[@treqrs]

When you got a fuzzy GoGo Crazy Bones was peak dopamine

[@rossco7214]

golden gogos elite

[@SolarPhantom]

man i used to run to the shop and spend my pocket money on gogos, i had a whole shoebox full of them 😭

[@jupieterr]

I used to get them from a corner shop nearby my childhood home, my god do I get a rush of nostalgia whenever I see them

[@suroll8666]

I'm a grown-ass man and I still have dozens of them and plan on completing my collection. Love them so much

[@rennythespaceguy7285]

So true

[@gergi29]

Knowing George was as into Doctor Who during that era as a lot of us were, to the extent of loving the Toys R Us display AND getting a load of Battles in Time cards (I still have that exact same folder, tho nowhere near as many cards shamefully) has made my year

[@mrchrischamp1]

But did you (or anyone else) have the plastic Tardis they sold in multiple parts that was a card holder? Cause I managed to get one as a kid and it made my childhood xD

[@whyamilikethis1998]

What I miss about the argos catalogue is the weight of the pages when you were flipping through sections, and then circling the thing you were going to put on your Santa list so you could show your mum

[@sparklyliana]

YES YES I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID THAT

[@Sielffo1]

Crazy how we all have the same lives

[@gregariousgaming6265]

the weight of that thing came in handy, threw many a yellow pages/argos catalogue at the siblings over the years :D

[@Chihiro_Fujisaki]

13:46 I’m an absolute die hard fan of Gogos and still collect them today! Absolute bangers fr

[@elliottmcleandeboer]

Astrosaurs absolutely SLAPPED - I work in a library now and it's a travesty that I haven't seen any on the shelves

[@Composty_lol]

You know George is a real one when he mentions Astrosaurs

[@TheMostBritishBrit]

I loved the pencil cases back in the day

[@sirmagmo4710]

14:38 For my family it was because all our CDs were illegally downloaded for us by our neighbour, so we didn't have any cases to put on the shelves lmao. He burnt CDs for the whole estate and did it for like a fiver if you got three at a time.

[@ShogunTurnip]

Who remembers those McDonald's Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sonic and Sega LCD games?

[@amysaysbye]

YES oh my god i had like three each of the Crash and Spyro ones, i was obsessed

[@whoopsmissclicksorrylol5599]

The Astrosaus books gave me a genuine shock of nostalgia when you mentioned them

[@Iaminyourwalls-fi4dm]

Love that George just had the dr who card card collection on hand

[@quandaledingleskibidi]

I don’t think I ever used that PE apparatus wall thing in primary school

[@FulcrumAhsokaTano]

PLEASE my school ditched theirs... i mean, we didnt use them anyways

[@Ripperr_]

it just teased us for 4 years straight lol

[@ShogunTurnip]

@@quandaledingleskibidi I remember using ours only once. On a similar note, how about that rainbow parachute every school had for some reason?

[@Ace_Opal]

I did once.. but that is now just a long gone fuzzy memory

[@quandaledingleskibidi]

@@ShogunTurnip vaguely in like reception or nursery

[@fartproductions9593]

I love being old enough to actually get nostalgic now

[@philbateman1989]

You did scoobies by hand. It's basically just a 4 way braid, but starting a chain off was pretty fiddly XD

[@lainawesome]

its surprising how similar British nostalgia is to dutch nostalgia

[@crabbyjimyjim]

i was an astrosaurs enjoyer as a child

[@TerminalFerocity]

Astrosaurs was brilliant

[@spickleton8227]

astrosaurs was goated

[@ririkrom]

i still use my mcdonald’s coke bottles to this day

[@DarthLenaPlant]

For me Elefun is a "Only saw the ads, never actually played with one" thing. The CD/DVD wallets were because we used to have portable discplayers and instead of ludding all of these actual cases around with us, we just moved the discs into that wallet (and then lost the cases)

[@Rabidbush]

I bought my daughter elefun in a charity shop for 2.50 many years ago, it was used about 2.50's worth at best. You didn't miss much

[@Kingston997]

GoGos and TechDeck were peak childhood

[@beaulynskey8470]

Who else remembers when a school classroom had either a tub or box of K'nex and/or Bionicle toys? The latter items were mint.

[@snailsoup4277]

as a 21 year old i’ve always felt that george is like Wayyyyy older than me, it is very funny feeling nostalgic for all of the same things he is

[@zakrizvi36]

Oh my God the Astrosaurs!!! That has truly unlocked a memory, elite series

[@Mantisaurus_95]

I had the astrosaurs books as well, holy shit that's nostalgic

[@Hngh-jt4it]

Clarks worker here, the toys no longer exist. I assume it’s because of either covid or because maybe they were a choking hazard. Instead of that, most of our kids’ school shoes are linked to one of four characters in some Roblox game that Clarks made. There’s a T-Rex, a fairy, a unicorn and a leopard and all the school shoes are based around those

[@MAGPIELEON]

Mentioning astrosaurs just unlocked a memory I forgot I had

[@spider-jeff_101]

Astrosaurs was elite

[@quandaledingleskibidi]

Nah fake can/pringles pencil cases were 🔥

[@wibbliams]

And why did they always have that incredible smell I'm actually so sad that i lost my year 5 sour cream pringles can :(

[@tobyc8022]

brainlicker in e is crazy thats an s tier

[@JackSucksAtLife]

Bro get the super rose

[@phivey.b]

i'm not even that old but next to one of my secondary schools was a little tesco and i used to be able to get a packet of chocolate digestives (about 40p) a 2 litre lemonade (17p) and a bag of midget gems (about 30p) all under a quid

[@sonmarsha69]

The people who chose fudge or bacon streaks as their nostalgic item had no childhood fr 😂

[@sonmarsha69]

Also I was a scoobie expert ngl, before your time it seems George, deserves higher then D 😂 they're actually extremely simple once u know how

[@wibbliams]

They might be under the age of 10 if they chose a FUDGE

[@laauraaaaa]

I’m 23 and I used to get 17p Coke bottles from Tescos when I had sleepovers with my friend so you’re not alone in that memory lol

[@CRABboy1678]

As a Scottish I love watching other youtubers from the uk

[@TheSadiemagic]

I don’t know why but ‘as a Scottish’ cracked me up but yeah I’m Scottish too and I’m the same love watching nostalgia videos like this from other people from the uk

[@arynxxx]

YHHHH UP THE SCOTS

[@Sleepysyrup2.0]

SCOTLAND FOREVER 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dapp2020]

Saw a whole bunch of those old McDonald's coke glasses in a charity shop, bought all of them. Can confirm. coke would make bank if they sold them. I am proof

[@oliviamaelovick]

Loving the nostalgia. I adored crazy bones 😂 Also, I used to nick the dolls out of the Clark’s shoes when I was younger & enjoyed doing it 😂

[@stoobertb]

I'm in my 40s. Shag bands were worn at school. they were "breakable" wrist bands in that you could pop them off, join them together etc... We used them as their namesake. If a person was wearing one, the rule was if you managed to break it off, you got a shag.

[@terranaxiomuk]

Fellow old fk here. I remember shagbands. No mention of pogs, beano, gameboys, pokemon cards, tazos, football stickers etc.

[@HologramGlasses]

the disk wallets in my house were purely for pirated movies lmao, back when you had to burn them onto a disk so you could watch them on the dvd player

[@Mr.ModMan]

anyone remember how the blue pen in primary schools smelt like vinger and there were never working red pens , also are people nostalgic for that TV stand? I still got it

[@arynxxx]

ISTG RED PENS WERE SACRED

[@rinnniiiii]

Omg I remember getting the Argos catalogue at Christmas time and sitting for hours at the kitchen table circling all the toys I liked then going back, cutting out my favourites and sticking them on scrap paper to make my Christmas list. I almost never got anything on it but I had the best time making it 😂 Also Elefun and kurplunk were my absolute favourite games as a kid

[@rovy225]

My cat was obsessed with hex bugs, when the battery ran out, just the click of the on button was enough to wake her up and start losing her mind

[@yogsblogs]

George confirming his autism at 11:15

[@wibbliams]

And 15:38

[@TheMichaelTaskerChannel]

Astrosaurs blimey George thats an almighty throwback!

[@San-nj8fj]

Using fountain pens at primary school might just be the most posh thing I’ve ever heard

[@Baboonmomma]

I was so cool when I pulled up to Primary School with my Golden Series Crazy Bones from Toys R Us

[@thekaardman9885]

I used to LOVE the Astrosaurs books when I was a kid. I'd always come home after school, sit with my dad and read them to him for my reading homework.

[@stuartmorgan3654]

No pencils are made out of lead. Lead is just the name we give to the graphite core which is just solid carbon.

[@KatieStephens]

We call it lead because, originally, pencils were actually made out of lead. But the term was already a thing so pencil lead never changed even after the switch to graphite. 😊

[@Molly-kn9bd]

The music players from McDonald’s where you put the cartridge in will forever be the most goated toy, it literally played one song but it was so good, I remember the spice girls and the black eyed peas ones 🤣

[@Molly-kn9bd]

Seeing those gogos crazy bones made me scream I had literally hundreds of them 💀

[@LukesLewis]

Back then I used to buy cheap Cola 2L for like 18p from Tesco

[@oscartravers4450]

the way george just seamlessly whipped out the tier list format is something ill be telling my grandkids

[@amynicholson666]

This nostalgia is bringing back so many memories

[@hellozero]

Anyone else remember that rug that had roads on so you could drive your Hotwheels or Matchbox on? Those were the days

[@Nebulaaa__]

This video was just pure nostalgia

[@Chihiro_Fujisaki]

15:03 you mean S tier right? RIGHT!?

[@gotrickrolledyeah]

This is the fastest time i ever watched in george memoulous

[@1specified]

0:09 No pencils use lead anymore, they instead use graphite or charcoal. Before moving on from lead, a lot of artists used to die from too much exposure to lead, which was also used in paint. Coloured pencils are usually wax based

[@BLONDlE]

love a good trip down childhood memory lane when life was simpler and so much less depressing :’)

[@alicewarburton1897]

gogos in S tier is all i needed from this video thank u george

[@leahkessel9597]

Is it weird that I'm American and have no idea what he's talking about and getting 0 nostalgia from this, but I still like it?

[@Veerdomain]

I STILL HAVE THE CAN PENCIL CASES

[@bradleyruby1503]

They used to call whiplash, seatbelt in my school. This whole video has been a massive nostalgia fix

[@RegularBiscuit]

It's hilarious how all of genz, even up to 2009 had the same childhood, which then instantly disappeared

[@amyspiers6359]

When I mention crazy bones to people they look at me like I'm crazy

[@Arrgh565]

Lord Memeulous has pleased us again

[@YegoYTP]

I saw gogos crazy bones, i clicked. Your year would be made if you got a most wanted version of a gogo

[@Sddffghtreer]

give me backshots please George

[@UnknownPikmin]

me next! ooh boy!

[@spacechoc]

yo wtf

[@BrokenPixle]

That Battles in Time binder is the ABSOLUTE best thing ever. I remember getting the TARDIS card holder in the magazines. Lost my original one but grabbed a couple off eBay.

[@prisimzdark1720]

7:37... the worst thing is I've just moved house and I still have this tv stand in my bedroom 😂 ... maybe time for a new one lol

[@rennythespaceguy7285]

The coolest gogo was the Sackboy looking guy (Angru for the cultured amongst us)

[@josephhughes1498]

I have one of those cd sleeves still now & it’s very useful, it’s like Netflix in a binder

[@koawilliams7893]

I had the coin maker and it came with a couple chocolates that tasted of air and like once you made the coins you just ate them immediately. It was so pointless as you had to keep buying chocolate, melting it just to turn it back into chocolate 😭

[@lukec8568]

bro has just unlocked my memory of astrosaurs

[@jaidenredacted1453]

i literally still have that one TV stand currently for my TV lmao

[@Robyn-ss4iy]

I have a really vivid memory of those bear counters. It was in reception and like the entire class got all the bear counters (and all the other counters) to make a really long line across the classroom

[@DaskeleboiYt-qu2kr]

I remember my science teacher showing us an animated picture of a foetus in the womb and I asked my friends “does that remind you of the goo aliens from a few years ago” Edit: I also had tumbling monkeys and a Spider-Man version of the game

[@liamdraper447]

S tier, the pirating is stealing advert on DVD’s

[@Deadspace1996]

I didn't have the egyptology book but I had a pirate book that even had the gem in the eye of the skull on the cover. Awesome book!

[@sallygriffiths245]

I work in a primary school and can confirm they have wooden apparatus attached to the walls, it gets used but not very often

[@aaaaaaamyyyyyy]

My school still has the apparatus and I am so jealous when the kids get to use it in their PE lessons

[@LimaLapointe]

RIP the forests decimated for Argos catalogues D:

[@johnosullivan7130]

I still have that tv stand and it's still standing strong

[@ewanfarley]

didn’t even realise this came out 30 mins ago, hot off the press.

[@i_teleported_bread7404]

Yes, George. I remember the Astrosaurs books. Glad to see someone else does.

[@shayvez]

I also love the hair sticking out the back to beat the bald allegations

[@FiveOhOneOh]

I still have a scooby on my keyring lmao, GoGo's were lit asf too

[@Nitehawkmk77]

Yes there did used to be a 2l bottles from 12p, i used to buy these from a shop called happy shopper

[@Luna-celeste]

2:00 can confirm, got it for Christmas and it got used twice and never again. I do remember it fondly though

[@Kimairan]

The CD wallet was to store your family's pirated movies because you could barely afford the real things half the time.

[@Cam80104]

Petition for george to do a video going through the Doctor Who Battles in Time collection

[@misterpwood]

It blew my tiny mind when I worked out the wooden school benches with the flappy things each end were meant to be used with the apparatus.

[@mcxhalo]

Great video!

[@Homiec1de]

I remember almost choking to death on those bear counters
