Stupid Dumb Phantom Menace Merch!

[@LightofLucifer-m8q]

Seeing that red and black phantom menace packaging is a nice hit of nostalgia.

[@SplinkProductions]

1999 was a glorious time for stupid dumb “Episode I” stuff! Glorious.

[@TheBatman-1989]

I don't see a problem with the Darth Maul cookie jar 🍪😂

[@chrisbroemel5508]

Me either. I have a Darth Vader one.

[@Lord_of_Dorkness]

I remember when the vhs tape came out, they had coupons included for star wars toys. This was almost a year after the release, and ep1 toys were on clearance. I ended up getting a naboo starfighter, and some other things for free with the coupon book.

[@gunsrtheanswer]

"....lets take a look at the dumb stuff." LOL

[@arielfilmsinc1926]

Forgot the inflatable swimming pool chairs

[@thebulldozer9198]

I had that Darth Maul cookie jar. I didn't know it was a cookie jar. I used to keep my episode 1 action figures in it. Great times. I miss it.

[@107Karnage]

I still have that Darth Maul jar. I put coins in it. LOL

[@meteosurreal]

3:47 There was a Taco Bell Yoda that was also like an 8-ball.

[@warface4881]

I named my son Jar Jar Binks. He should be getting out of rehab any day now.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I would love to have that MTT cooler, simply as a decorative piece, not to actually use.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I still have my Jedi Padawan Braid. I bought it thinking I'd wear it with my Jedi costume but decided against it because my hair wasn't long enough to put into the ponytail as well.

[@mattelder1971]

7:09 That game did have one redeeming feature, it came with a unique version of Anikin in his Naboo pilot helmet.

[@nerdcraftercoley7305]

I got to admit that Darth Maul cookie jars kind of dope looking. I did have a cookie jar with Chewbacca on it. I guess that would be a chewie Wookie cookie jar.

[@saltrisha1]

Thats what i was thinking,anything with maul. Is cool,except the knee pads 😂😂

[@SocialStressWars]

The Jedi braid makes me lol. Good video, I needed a laugh!

[@markstammers1923]

I had( still got somewhere) A Darth maul watch,It was maul's head,and you flipped his face back to see the time,trouble was it was to bulky and big to wear,and you looked stupid,with Darth maul head on your wrist.

[@jeffstark8449]

Most of this stuff I agree with.that battle Droid cooler was from Japan. That thing goes for like $400! I really want one

[@Pauric84]

The Jar Jar candy Tongue was originally released as a Godzilla from 1998 movie!😂

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

It’s pretty nostalgic seeing all this stuff from the very first Star Wars movie that got me into Star Wars as a kid. But I’m sure no kid went as Watto for Halloween, all you saw that Halloween was Darth Maul everywhere.

[@gemini_man66]

I went as Watto and changed my name to Wanto. "Eeeeh, you! Kid! Give me your candy. Tell you what...give me half your stash for this handy dandy power converter."

[@chrisC052]

Junkman looks like you have a lot of practice and experience when you did that back and forth sucker motion with that JarJar Binks merch😂😂

[@EricMorse]

I still got the Darth Maul cookie jar and I put my episode 1 figures in it. Works good for that.

[@SonOfJedz]

The cookie jar was actually pretty cool as a cheap display piece!

[@michaeldumas9203]

The dumbest thing you could have bought was the figures. You can still buy them at any antique mall in any town to this day. And it’s funny when some vendor at the antique mall says “ Those old Star Wars figures are gonna be worth a lot one day “. 🤡😂

[@JedimillerReturns]

I wore the braid and I was like 30 years old. i have most of these items and love them!!!!!!

[@3Storms]

The absolute worst is that Jar-Jar candy where kids sucked his tongue. WTF were they thinking?

[@Pauric84]

It was originally released as Godzilla from 1998 Movie!😂

[@gemini_man66]

They were thinking it was the dalai lama

[@raymondwright5996]

I had that Battle Droid watch and loved it. It stopped working eventually. I still have the tin that it came in.

[@michaelkibble740]

Mesa no likey jar-jar

[@richardlaceyfield9]

The only thing I bought was the DVD and a Darth Maul figure and a few about movie books . Oh and the Lego game a few years later.

[@palpatine775]

I want that Darth Maul / Darth Sidious cell phone! I can't believe that was an actual thing back in 1999!

[@therackstar]

I have a four foot Jar Jar upstairs.. 😅

[@MrJtmendoza180]

When the Phantom Menace hit cinema, my cousin and I bought EVERYTHING Star Wars stuff. From the action figures, Naboo fighters, pod racers, to that Darth Maul cookie jar! After several years of having it, I gave the cookie jar to my college classmate.

[@s1234d1]

A friend of mine had the Darth maul cookie jar that sat on top of his tv stand

[@HouseClarkzonian]

I think Force Awakens actually topped Phantom Menace with the amount of crap they made with the Star Wars Branding on it, enough that Hasbro nearly went under with the lack of sales and killed off ToysRUs with all the useless merch that no one wanted or liked.

[@staypuft3120]

It sold, though, they can't sell anything now.

[@ThatJunkman]

Not really. Hasbro had hard time selling TPM figures so much so it cause them to close down Kenner. But Hasbro always had a issue making too much

[@LaDracul]

I did have the Queen Amidala phone...though the fact I had a Reylo cell phone cover proves I never grew out of that. 😏

[@_The_Worst_]

You can never have to much Panton Menace merchandise...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@introtheartist5625]

In my late 20s and the nostalgia is crazy and I had a Darth maul watch

[@stevedenis8292]

Can't be dissing the Darth maul cookie jar where do you keep your dark side cookies? Yeah but they did over produce stuff for these movies. We need a review of Fan boys.

[@sardinedood]

7:42 that isn't so bad. I mean if you put smash brothers collectables inside of soap to get smash players to use soap that would be great.

[@gemini_man66]

Dude, now they have that The Phantom Menace retro figures. That's dumb to me...putting Padme or Jar Jar on a makeshift retro card straight out of a Twilight Zone Original Trilogy. The figures look bad even. Collectors and shops are still trying to sell/get rid of their MOC from back then and now theeeey're back! 😂

[@captlazer5509]

The Cap Candy Jar Jar tongue sucker according to Ahmed Best, the actor who played Jar Jar Binks, is the worst toy of Jar Jar ever. The tongue looks like it has genital warts. That droid ship soda container is not original Phantom Menace merch. It was 3D printed a few years ago and show up on Tik Tok. One item I still have was the Lazer Tag Naboo Fighter with Battle Droid. It's goofy as hell but I love the effort.

[@UndrAttack]

Digging the new editing.

[@ciscodeer9094]

You wouldn't be complaining if it was Queen Amidala, and I have some of the soda cans and bottles.

[@derkonigderratten]

[@Boyer316]

In all seriousness, were Jedi braids like hair extensions? Anakin seems to grow one almost instantly at the end of TPM.

[@shanester1832]

I've never thought about that. Yeah It's supposed to be their hair but where did his come from? I guess they thought we wouldn't notice. I didn't for 25 years.

@Boyer316 Maybe it was like 3 months between Qui Gon's funeral & the "holding of the trippy ball" end ceremony. That's the only way it makes sense.

[@jmsparger4339]

You forgot the #1, dumbest, stupidest, merch ever made of The Phantom Menace.. And that was.. Star Wars Episode l : The Phantom Menace

[@spankynater4242]

Nice

[@TheSickNeeds]

The best thing about that stupid ass movie was that bag of Skittles.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I thought the Naboo Starfighter toy at 6:58 was a birth conttol pill dispenser. You know, to appeal to the girls. 😉

[@MrAvenger1975]

Yeah, they definitely bet on the wrong horses with many of these characters.

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

I bought one of every can of Soda/Pepsi Co. Of every type ( Pepsi, diet Pepsi, Mt Dew, etc etc) of every character. Hundreds of them! Every TV guide, band aids, shampoo, mother's cookies, pencil sets, BK watches, glasses, cups, school supplies.... I have none of it anymore! Lol

[@sampoernaquatrain1710]

You said it. Add to that the PIzza Hut boxes, toothpaste, endless stupid magazine covers to collect, EVERY ONE of those damned Taco Bell toys & cup toppers, trading cards, plastic dishes, shampoo bottles, Burger King watches, coloring books, Lay's and Doritos chip bags, etc., etc.....I sold every shred of it while it was still worth money! It's OT all the way, baby!

[@dacca6836]

@4:56 you should wear a rat tale from now on in all your videos. Make it extra greasy, wet too :-)

[@treyjohnson4035]

Maul didn't get enough screen time

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

The Darth Maul cookie jar should have included waist and legs. Then you could pull an Obi-Wan Kenobi and open up his top half for the cookies.

[@oldschooltommyim]

The stupidest Phantom Menace thing I bought was a ticket to see the movie!

[@douglasnichols6116]

40 years ago a Jawa 3.75 action figure was stupid according to some people

[@LightOfReason7]

I bought a plastic C3PO watch after they got cheap to put on my motorcycle. Worked pretty good and kept the rain out with the flip up cover. They did put out a bunch of junk, that's for sure

[@WilliamTurk]

Have you ever done a video of the Micro Machine heads?

[@ThatJunkman]

Yes

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

I almost bought a FALLOUT mini fridge a few yrs ago.

[@TomSchreck-n1t]

That Watto mask actually looks pretty good! The Skittles ship looks pretty good as a model. Jedi braid, huh? Not a bad piece for a cosplay video.

[@GrayWoIf]

Well George had full merchandising rights with the prequels so even if film flopped he'd be making big bucks on everything else.

[@MaCabaret]

I was the target audience when TPM was released and I loved Jar Jar. I thought I grew out of that until I rewatched it just recently. Despite myself, I lost it when he zapped his tongue on the pod racer energy coupling.

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

As Chapelle's Show said, "Dolla dolla bill, y'all!" Hence the garbage merch...

[@Chainsawhappy]

I was in college when this movie came out. Once I saw it on opening night I immediately hated it and gave away all the Phantom Menace figures I bought. To this day if I see anything from those prequel turds I get PTSD.

[@constancecherry3996]

I remember this

[@alexianemp]

I had that stupid electronic Naboo fighter game. I felt stupid buying it. I HAD to buy it becasue it came with a unique figure, and I HAD to have at least one loose of every 3.75" figure. I still have it; IDK if it still works. I also bought the "battle bags" which just contained animals that would swell up in water. Remember those?

[@shanester1832]

I feel shame deep within me for liking a property that signs off on such garbage. George your 2 o'clock is here. It's Jim Renfro from Slap Band International. He's got this great idea.

[@Poochpatrol]

I believe the junkman when he looks disappointed.

[@PaulBloomlittledevil]

I thought the cookie jar looks great! 😅

[@AnakinStarkiller1974]

Hey now, watch it! I wear that C-3PO watch every day since 83'!!!😂

[@thrashingjedi72]

i used to have an awesome jarjar mask

[@victorraulsantivanezrodriguez]

Actually, the N1 comes with a game. A funny one because you shoot droits and the big ship. Ah and it represet the target computer

[@victorraulsantivanezrodriguez]

I allmosr forgot it, it came with an Anakin Skywalker figure

[@rex-rant4322]

I was hoping you'd bring up the Jar Jar sucker 😂 I do like the droid- can thing, i also understand the Jedi braid and Watto mask because of cosplay for kids, the watches wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for those ugly colors. And the CD player, hey, no one would complain if it had Darth VADER on it. 😉 Love the video. Show us Return of the Jedi stuff. I love that movie.

[@projektkobra2247]

They went nuts with that stuff cuz they thought we'd buy it all...

There were starwars comdoms,well,.sort-of. In the movie Skin Deep

i saw it in theatres myself but I wasnt into star wars so like ehh i mean i didnt hate it but ehhh

[@thrashingjedi72]

i knew it wouldnt be better than the og trilogy so i didnt hate it or was letdown as much as some were.exceot too much cgi and waiting for 3 movies to see Darth Vader for only a few min. noooooooo.and a lot never made it on the big screen live action.but was animated instead in Clone Wars.they could have done like 6 movies and shouldve done one whole movie with Anakin as Vader and then Rogue One..but the Prequels shouldve been made after a live action Shadows of the Empire if only they had some better cgi with faces like in Rogue One.they didnt even need Ford to sign on since his character was frozen.Shadows could have been a 2 part movie as well.

[@michaelrussom6463]

I bought the com tech reader. It was pretty stupid. I can't believe I was so hyped up back then. I went to star wars celebration 1. They had everyone standing in line outside in pouring rain for hours. By the time I got in, I hardly had any time to look around. I was so disappointed when I found out they weren't actually selling figures there, just showing them off. Then I was hyped up for the movie, saw it a couple times before I realized how lame it was. I fell for it again when I saw the sequel trilogy 😂😂😂 oh... And I can't understate how much I hated jar jar 😂

[@MelvinMowle-ui3yh]

I was born on November 7th 1969 grew up dirt poor and never saw a Starwars movie until my mid 20's and to this day I think they suck.
