- (children) Kids React to toys!
This episode: Furbys!
- (Finebros) So today, we're not having you react to a video.
- I'm really, really scared right now.
I don't know if it's alive or not.
- Lift the sheet and see what it is.
- (Furby, tinny voice) ♪ Do, do-do, do-do ♪ Heh-heh.
- Oh god, that's creepy.
- Looks like a stuffed animal.
- Aw, these are Furbys!
- It's a Furby!
It's one of the older ones.
- My friend has one of these.
- It's like a Five Nights at Freddy's character.
- These are creepy.
- They look kinda creepy.
That's why I told my mom I never want one.
- I've never actually seen one of these things in real life.
- (children) Question time!
- (Finebros) Okay, so do you have any idea what that is?
- I don't know what it's called, but I've seen them.
- I don't know what it's called, but I know what it is.
- I don't know, dude. - (Furby) Whoa! Aah!
- Furby?
- It's a Furby.
- I like Furbys. They're so cute.
- I've seen them on commercials,
and I've seen them in Toys "R" Us.
- (Finebros) So what that is is a toy.
- Toy. - (Finebros) And it's called a Furby.
- A Furby! Yeah, that's the name.
- (Finebros) What do you do with a Furby? - I have no idea.
- I don't know, and I don't want to know.
It's like a gremlin on steroids.
- It's supposed to be a little stuffed animal that can talk?
- (Furby whirs) Ah... ah... choo!
- Sneezed!
(Furby whirs, yawns) - Oh my god.
- (Furby) Cock-a-doodle-doo! Hee-hee-hee!
Me fool you.
- Who plays with this?
- (Finebros) So the Furby's basically an electronic pet.
- Yeah.
- (Finebros) You can play with your Furby by swinging it around.
- (Furby) Hey! Me zoom!
Woo! Zzz! - (laughs)
He likes that.
- (Furby) Wee! - (delighted) Oh!
It can tell that it's moving.
- (Finebros) So another thing is,
he doesn't speak a lot of English. He speaks a lot of Furbish.
And it comes with a dictionary
so you could teach yourself this language if you wanted to.
- That's just complicated.
- (incredulously) What?
- (Furby) Hey! Light! - I'm not talking to you! Shut up!
- It's cool. This toy has its own language,
but it's still not cute.
- What if they had it, like, in a-- - (Furby) Aah! Ooh! Light!
- What if they had a German Barbie, and it did this.
And then it could teach kids German.
I'm gonna make that. No one steal that, okay?
- You also can feed the Furby
by putting your finger in its mouth. - Do I have to?
- (flustered) What's cool about that?!
- Could this, like, hurt children?
- Better not get injured.
- (Furby) Yum! - (giggles)
He said "yum."
- (Furby) Yum!
- He said yes.
- (Finebros) Does this seem like a fun toy to you?
- Yeah, I like Furbys.
- No.
Look at the eyes on this thing.
- No. Like, I think--
- (Furby) Aah! No! Light! Aah!
- It will interrupt you-- - (Furby) Okay. Haha, yes.
- No-ho-ho.
Just imagine sitting at your bedside and this staring at you
like... ♪ (horrendous music) ♪
- (Finebros) So this toy was released
all the way back-- - (Furby) Need food! Ha-ha!
(smacking lips, whirring)
- (Finebros) This toy was released all the way back in 1998.
- 1998. Okay, that was a while ago.
- (Finebros) And it quickly became
one of the most popular toys of the '90s.
Why do you think kids back then wanted a Furby?
- I have no clue.
- They can have a pet without all the messes.
- Technology must have been like "wow!" back then.
Didn't have any electronic devices like iPhones.
- It was probably popular because this was the new cool toy.
(Furby purrs)
Like hoverboards right now. People want them.
- (Finebros) Why, with all the toys and phones and iPads
that you get to have today-- - (Furby) ♪ Dooby-doo ♪
♪ Dooby-doo ♪
- (Finebros) Is something like the Furby not as exciting?
- No, there's better toys.
- It may be a little less exciting,
but it still has the aspect of having a fuzzy pet.
- (Finebros) So they did bring the Furby back recently.
- Okay.
- (Finebros) So we're gonna go and get another Furby to show you.
- Ohhhh noooo!!!
- Okay, let's see the difference.
(Furby shouts gibberish)
(Furby hoots like a monkey)
- Look at his eye expressions. - (Furby) Likey, likey!
- (Furby babbles) Coco, again, again, again!
Whoa! Woo-woo-woo-woo.. - Oh my god.
- It's like some excited teenage girl.
- (Furby) You do! Like wow! - Can it stop talking?
- What are you doing?
(Furby ratcheting)
What is he doing?
(old Furby shudders)
- You need to calm down.
- (new Furby) Hahahaha! Hilarious!
- (gasps in amusement) Thank you! I like this one!
- (Finebros) So what do you think of the new Furby
compared to the old Furby? - This one is way more cute.
But it nonstops talking.
- Cool because the eyes actually move.
- This one is more happy and fun. And this one is more like...
♪ (horrendous music) ♪
- (Finebros) So we're gonna take the old Furby away.
- (new Furby) Haha! Tell me about it!
- (Finebros) I'm trying to. - Yeah, he's trying to, okay?
- Can I turn it off? - (new Furby) No, you di'n't!
- (Finebros) They actually don't turn off.
- They don't turn off?! - (Finebros) They never turn off.
- (Furby) Oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh!
- (Finebros) So part of the new Furbies
is that you can play with it using a smartphone app.
Do you want to try it out? - Sure.
- (Finebros) The first thing we want you to do,
if you can hear me, is hit the voice changer.
We're gonna change its voice. - Voice changer.
Voice changer.
- (Finebros) Point the iPad at the Furby and swipe up.
- Got it. - (Furby) And do it!
(slurping and ratcheting)
(Furby speaks with sped-up voice)
- Oh, there it is. It changed.
- (Furby, sped-up) Oh no, you di'n't!
- (amused) What the heck?
(Furby speaks with slowed-down voice) - Okay.
(Furby speaks with slowed-down voice) - (laughs)
It sounds like my grandpa.
- That's pretty cool, actually, that you can change the voice.
- (Finebros) You can feed this Furby.
But instead of using your finger,
you can actually feed it with the app. - Let's click it.
- Corn dog.
'Kay. (laughs)
- A gummy bear.
- (Furby) Wow! Mm! Nom-nom-nom.
- I doubt it will like homework.
(snickering) I'm gonna see what happens.
- (Furby) Ew! You do! So not into this!
- (laughs uproariously)
- Give it this raw fish.
- (Furby) Hmph! Pleh!
- It spit this out.
- I'm gonna find a vegetable.
- (Furby) Hmph! Pleh! Aghgh! Ew!
- I think it should promote eating healthy.
I mean, I eat healthy all the time. Not really.
- (Finebros) We should now try to get the Furby to go to sleep,
I think, so put it on its back.
- (Furby) Game over! Party, party!
- (quietly) Go to sleep.
- (Furby) ME FALLING! Hee-hee, just kidding!
- He's not falling.
(Furby snoring exaggeratedly)
- It snores really loudly.
- (Finebros) Why do you think they made that decision,
to have a toy that's a pet that never turns off?
- Because pets never turn off.
- To teach your kid that they're a big responsibility.
- To help you learn how to take care of a pet
so you can prepare to take care of an actual pet with this Furby.
- (Finebros) So last question: do you think the Furby
is a fun toy or an annoying toy for kids? - Annoying toy.
- Annoying.
- Probably this amount of fun.
- It's an annoying toy for kids today.
- I have to say it's annoying.
- I think it's a fun toy.
- Probably a fun toy?
- An annoying toy for kids! It's horrifying.
- Fun.
Sometimes will annoy you when you're talking to a friend
doesn't mean that it's annoying.
- It's a terrible toy.
It'll freak you out, it'll scare you,
and it's just gonna be an annoyance.
