What's inside a furby? | Furby Dissection | We The Curious

The infamous 90's toy 'Furby' haunted the nightmares of children, and annoyed parents all over the world. In this video, Tom and Beth investigate the inner mechanics of a Furby and even bring one back from the dead!

We The Curious is opened a brand new exhibition in summer 2016 - The Tinkering Space! Aimed to inspire the inventor in us all, The Tinkering Space is for creators, inventors, dreamers and anyone who’ve ever wanted to have a go at making something. The Tinkering Space enables visitors to turn their ideas into something they can touch, design and modify, and even rebuild elements of the space itself.
Opened on 23 July, the permanent exhibition will include a ‘Baxter’ robot (the first in a UK science centre), two 3D printers, an air table for testing flying devices, Shadow Theatres, make-your-own ball runs, and more.
This video was presented by: Tom Rodgers and Beth Cotterell

Nooooooo, stop cutting their fur! You can remove it without scissors!

[@Luna-xb7sv]

My sister once told me a story about her friend's furby being evil. When we had a furby in the room with us. I was so scared that I cried XD

[@SladeShadows]

I'm pretty sure they have souls except they're "souls" aren't as resistant as ours. Being run with inexpensive parts from the nineties. They were easily affected by All maner or things from Radio frequency. Shaking sounds light and more. Given that they could essentially get DID or have multiple personalities and could sometimes function w/o batteries. Yeesh straight nightmare fuel

[@paodeskate822]

it put tears on my face

[@dedcat._.https..h3]

this made me tear up, for future reference, please dont cut blindly, there is a zip tie around the base of the furby that you can cut into. the furby council will decide your fate

[@sadyeehaw7252]

watching this is scarier than all the other dissections ngl

[@EpicFurbynerd76YO]

Thanks for being careful instead of cutting it in in half but you might wanna replace the fur since cutting the fur is bad

[@pokemongozapdose677]

i have one of the 1998 furbys and i was hugging her while watching this i jad to open it because when i first got it i had to move the motor and then the furby worked and yeah.god poor furbys.

We hope you had fun figuring out how it works for yourself :) - Ross

I watched another video and one when it was getting crushed it was basically crying

Aww poor furbys there so cute and you killed them

@@pikkeneater lol sorry bro! I wasn’t hating on you btw it just took me by surprise because I forgot this comment even existed. Heck I forgot this video even existed. So yah I love furbys but I respect your opinion.

[@ForestMaidenTsuri]

Really disappointed. 😭 Looking everywhere trying to figure out how to add my own soundboard into a furby but I can't find out where the original sounds are coming from. 🥲

[@markiplierisawesome9126]

It's like terminator but with fury animals And really creepy.....

[@wethecurious]

Substituting the furby's voice with Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes is an excellent idea for a future hack! ;) - Ross

Hmm I wonder where my furby go that was sitting on a shelf 7 years ago

[@erlyneauxillos306]

do u know how hard hasbro works on them... poor furbys

[@miachamberlain3531]

You can take those furbys and circuit bend them so they can be plugged into a sinthasier. Get a ltc1799 precision oscillator to replace the crystal inside (witch makes it go in time) wire it up in a few different places and plug it into a sinth and play a some good music

[@pleasestopsubbingtome9867]

Damn, thats a really good idea...

[@miachamberlain3531]

Please stop subbing to me thanks 😊

[@dellplayz_yt7129]

I'm making a bug furby soon

[@kennethstudstill]

1:25 The words _inference_ and _prediction_ appear to be more appropriate than _theory_ in this context.

[@behdbsja7191]

I had an annoying ass Furby that would not shut up every time I walked by so I took the batteries out, it kept talking even after I took the power away like- bleh

[@dimitar6518]

wwhyyyy por furbys ohhh myyy gooooood!!!! i hate so much people where they broke furbys :@

[@PotaJoe]

STOP GETTING TRIGGRED AT LEAST THEY STILL WORK OTHERS JUST DESTROY THE FURBYS! YOU GODDAMN IDIOTS

[@themoonlitfurblingoldchann93]

[@favre4prezident1]

I have a 1987 Calculator and a 1999 furby tiger electronics in an old telephone in a tape player in alotttt of tapes

[@joesmoe71]

I kept waiting for the pure evil to be released and turn them into white-eyed, flesh eating demons.

[@Luna-xb7sv]

Wow

[@Melaifc]

...! Yo.. you YOU KILLER 👎😭 🤣 it the first furby😯

[@themoonlitfurblingoldchann93]

They are not killing it Furbys are robots so they can't feel or have emotions just cause it says something that describes what's happening doesn't mean it's a living being

[@wyatt_nothinghd]

Can you give me the old broken furby please

[@wethecurious]

It's proudly on display in our exhibition, encouraging others to tinker with their old toys. - Ross

[@peepo571]

It looks like a animatronic!

[@wethecurious]

It's the scariest animatronic I've ever seen! - Ross

[@starlingbaez6681]

It is

[@SkyfoxProductions]

I've had to dissect many Furbys... To Fix Them Also this is really neat! I've never seen the parts so indeaph! It's very cool! Also I hope you put the furbys back together👍🏻 Anyways great job

[@DorkLynx]

Guys.. They. Are. Furbys. There not real animals! So why are people hating on this? I don't know about you, but I'm interested in all the circuits and stuff inside of it. kinda creepy to be honest o.o

[@digi_056]

YourAverageFelidae AJ It's most likely because of them simply cutting the fur off and yanking the ears and plastic casing off of the circuits.

[@wethecurious]

I had no idea before making this video that people we SO passionate about Furbys... - Ross

Guys, stop saying that the Furby is being killed and hurt they can't feel or have emotions even if they say what is happening still that doesn't prove they are alive they are just robots
