Are 2000s Toy Ads as Good As We Remember?

3:48 I believe this type of aesthetic is called Superflat Pop. It focused on vinyl figures, grafftti, and bright colors. It might still be around to this day.

There's honestly nothing better than some 2000's nostalgia

The mix of horror and nostalgia on this channel shouldn't work but it works so well. Love it!!

That “OR GRANDCHILD” in the pillow pets commercial really worked wonders because my sister and I each received a pillow pet from each grandmother. I still have both of mine, I have used them to prop up my pillow my whole life and they are both holding up quite well! A little flat but still good on the outside :)

YES. They're so bland nowadays! They were SO much better!

It's really nice to see representation of Gogo's Crazy Bones. Not many videos about toys from the 2000s usually mention them. Really Love your videos keep up the amazing content!

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.

i miss 2000's toys, there was something about them. especially the gross ones, i was a huge fan of my little pony, littlest pet shop, shopkins, the grossery gang. i loved it all and i am just really sad that they don't produce toys like that anymore. i know that as time progresses and things change, everything else will have to change too. but god, i'd kill for them to bring back the og designs of say monster high. or anything that was once in the 2000's because it totally fits me as a person and they are all my style.

Growing up in the 2000s was the greatest childhood of all time! Anyone remember Gormiti? I remember being obsessed with those little figures as a kid and played with them so much.

Omg I remembered I had a lot of mighty beads and sinkies when I was little.😭 Bro just help me unlocked a distant memory.

I'm glad you gave attention to Lego and how good it was during the mid 2000s to early 2010s. Most of my collection has sets from during that time. SpongeBob, City, Marvel, Toy Story, early Ninjago, Pharaoh's Quest, Atlantis, Batman, Hero Factory, and of course Star Wars and Bionicle. Lego has never been better and it was truly the peak.

The Gogo’s Crazy Bones art style is similar to Superflat, an aesthetic created by Takashi Murakami.

As a 2000's kid, I miss all the childhood toys like Shopkins and Zhu-Zhu pets. I feel like all the kids toys now are just.. not on the same level.

Bruh I’m telling you, the 2000’s-2010’s life was PEAK. Politics didn’t exist to us yet, we weren’t scared of the uncertain future and all we cared about was what cool thing was up at the time! Seriously I wish I could live in this time period again ngl I’m also thinking of writing some story that takes inspiration from the nostalgia of 2000’s-2010s and its villains are based on Gen Z childhood trauma

I feel like the 90s also had an obsession with gross out, I think it was nickelodeon that started that trend

bro really got me unlocking hidden memories like they're achievements bruh 😭

The 2000s is just peak everything

This made me think about the memories I had seeing old toy commercials and really wanting the toy and I realized that toy commercials just no longer feel the same

I had the earlier version of Creepy Crawlers as a kid where you actually cooked the bugs. I LOVED bugs so naturally it was one of my favorite toys. The only thing is that the smell was absolutely horrible and I can still vividly remember the smell 20ish years later. I didn't have a lot of the toys mentioned in this vid but the Creepy Crawlers definitely brought back some burning rubber scented nostalgia

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 YouTube 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 :)
