(Furbies chirping)
- In 1997, former naval,
I'm not gonna speak from this mic this entire time.
I'm not speaking from this mic this entire time, okay.
I'm just back here because I need to be
a little bit far away from this right now.
I have not warmed up to it yet, okay, give me a second.
In 1997, former naval aviation expert Dave Hampton
woke up one day in his electricity-free home in Lake Tahoe
and went to his annual toy fair at his new job at Mattel,
which he was then bedazzled with a product
that many people believe single-handedly created
the gigantic ka-bang of electronic-based children toys.
The Tamagotchi, an electronic pet in the palm of your hand.
Just a press of a button,
you can feed it and make it live forever
until you forget about it for a day and then it dies.
Everyone at the toy fair was absolutely bedazzled
by the amazement of the Tamagotchi.
But Dave thought it can better.
And as he said in previous interviews,
though the Tamagotchi was very impressive,
he felt there was one major flaw to it
that he could not get out of his head.
You can't pet it.
So he thought, "What if I made a toy with the same mechanics
"except you can hold it and pet it?"
So he went back home to his candlelit house
and drafted up the Furball Project.
And after 18 months of development,
and with help of his friend Caleb Chung,
they both created the Furby.
That's right, the toy that caused
a gigantic media and human frenzy
from the late 90s to the early 2000s
was all created by a man without electricity in his home.
Now as y'all relish in that
we're gonna go into this sponsor.
This video's sponsored by MUD/WTR.
(screeching) Yes!
Now as I've said in previous videos,
I am not a drinker of coffee.
Coffee puts a cramp in my stomach.
I do not like the feeling of it.
Usually makes me pass out for some reason.
But I've been on a journey to find
some good coffee alternatives,
and girl, I found myself another winner.
MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative
with four adaptogenic mushrooms and Ayurvedic herb.
Try to say that four times fast.
The drinkable ritual (indistinct) is mind, body, and soul.
And I'm literally drinking it right now, what's up, girl.
All you have to do is add a tablespoon to hot water
and then add whatever you like and then you are ready to go.
What the ritual of your morning coffee without any jitters,
anxiety, or crash, or stomach pains, (indistinct) pains?
MUD/WTR has 1/7 of the caffeine of a cup of coffee.
You can get energy and drink mud all day
without impacting your sleep at all.
And it comes in this cute little black tin!
Look at it! Oh my god!
Boop. Delicious.
They kindly sent me the starter kit
which includes a 30-serving tin of Mud,
a little cute USB rechargeable frother,
and a free sample of their vegan coconut creamer.
And also a cute little booklet
that shows me cool different type of recipes,
meditation, power of their mushrooms and all that stuff.
She cute, she cute.
Now they actually sent me this kit about two months ago,
so I've been using it here and there.
But I did save off on using the creamer until this video
and I put it in this cup and girl, it's delicious.
Okay, with the creamer.
The tins are also actually recyclable.
And the company actually works with (indistinct)
and pays money to deforestation efforts
to ensure they have a net positive carbon footprint.
And then right there it's all the ingredients,
which includes things such as cacao, lion's mane,
chaga, chai, and cordyceps,
which offers a huge range of benefits
including helping your mood, focus, physical performance,
and your immune system.
You can try MUD/WTR today and get 15% off their starter kit

So check it out down in the description below
and thank you so much MUD/WTR for sponsoring this video.
Now back to it! Yep.
I don't even want to touch you right now.
I don't even want to touch you, I am not ready, oh my god.
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen.
It's the girl, the cursed meme itself.
Jesus Christ, that meme,
what the hell, that meme.
The thing that many people have been obsessed with
and still are obsessed with today
to the point that they're creating
five-foot tall abominations
and selling them off of Ebay.
Have you seen those Furby snake things?
Who thought that was okay?
Also, Merry Christmas, happy holidays,
Hanukkah, Kwanza, winter solstice.
I don't know what the hippies celebrate but happy that.
I went on Twitter a few months ago,
asked you guys what kind of retro products
you want me to review,
and a lot of you guys said the Furby.
So I found one. You're fucking welcome.
Do I want to open it? No.
Am I going to? I probably will.
Because I need watch time.
But Jesus Christ, I am terrified.
Look at its eyes.
Look at its eyes and tell me it's not about
to beat my ass right now.
Exactly, 'cause it's gonna beat my ass!
This is not just a Furby.
This is the original 1998 released Furby,
packaged in 1998.
Originally sold for $30 at Walmart.
But I had to buy it from a collector for nearly $300.
So thank you, MUD/WTR (cackles).
This came out when I was about two years old,
but I still remember the Black Friday footages
of people rushing to get it along with the Cabbage Patch Kid
for my entire childhood.
Absolutely scarred by those visuals
and never recuperate again.
But here it is.
Enjoy it, live with it, accept it.
My camera is registering it as a face.
Oh my god! (Furbies chirping)
Oh shit!
There is also an insane amount of writing on the package.
Goddamn, 90s.
I get it,
not everyone was watching the commercials, okay, girl.
We got to advertise every single last thing on the box
back in the day.
In case people were scrolling down Toys R Us
and just say it and was like "Huh, wonder what this is."
But no, girl, everyone saw those goddamn commercials.
Everyone was obsessed with this for some weird reason.
My grandfather had one.
I never had one. I never wanted one.
Introducing the electronic Furby.
"The more you play with me, the more I do."
Do what?
"The more you play with me, the more I do"?
Is that grammatically correct?
I'm sorry, it's early in the morning, I'm tired.
"I will keep amazing you."
No the fuck you won't, bitch.
Not tonight. Girl, calm down.
"I can communicate with other Furbies
"and teach them games, songs, and tricks."
Girl, you're gonna be an only child for one hour
and then you're never being turned back on again.
Even if you work.
I hope you don't work. That'll be great.
"Love me and I'll love you back.
"Let's play together." Hell no.
I think one of the reasons why
I never vibed with the Furbies
is because I grew up watching the movie "Gremlins"
and Furbies 110% remind me of gremlins
and I do not want to see what happens to this
if I feed it at midnight, okay.
"I can wiggle my ears, blink my eyes,
"and move my mouth." Wow.
"Teach me to do tricks." Noted.
And it can also dance,
as they showcase in a photo
of two girls just holding it and posing?
90s.
And this bitch, this motherfucking, excuse me?
What child ages six and up reading this?
You got me fucked up.
I'ma read it for you, here we go. (clears throat)
"The story of the Furby.
"Some Furbies are gray and others are white.
"Some Furbies are black, as black as night."
Okay.
So why we describing how black they are
but not the other, okay.
Whatever, whatever, racism.
"Some have tails and others manes,
"but each Furby has its own name.
"So no two Furbies are the same.
"Small of stature, big of heart.
"all Furbies are so very smart.
"They speak a language all their own
"for Furbish is a language quite unknown.
"Furbies need may-may, love."
What? May-may?
Did you just see me go out of focus?
My camera was focusing on something next to my face.
This Furby brought some bad juju, these Furbies!
"And may-lah, hugs,
"and they wee-tee, sing, and loo-loo, joke.
"They play Furby Says and Hide And Seek,
"and into the future they can peek."
Oh hell, what is this, "The Conjuring"?
"So when you take a Furby home you will never be alone.
"The more you play, the more they do."
What does that mean?
"Furby will keep amazing you.
"Noh-lah, dance, and wee-tee, sing,
"ee-tay, ee-tay, yeah, yeah,
"Furbies have come for a U-nye, you, and kah, me."
See, it keeps on focusing next to me face!
What is it,
Furbies was such a phenomenon
that people even to this day are uploading videos constantly
of their Furbies talking to each other.
Even some Furby news
and how to get the good Furbies on Black Friday.
And then there's me (cackling),
a grown ass adult making a video about a,
I'm not any different.
And the cursed meme.
Jesus Christ, what is wrong with us?
Like this one.
"When the sassy girl at school
"finds her boyfriend cheating on her."
They didn't even format the meme right.
"I smell pennies." Jesus.
Who makes these?
Why are people turning Furbies into centipedes?
And why are they selling for thousands of dollars on Ebay?
Jesus Christ. Oh my god, oh my god!
And they made it a fucking horse because why the hell not.
Oh my god, okay, let's just open this box.
I'm bout to throw up.
Wait, 150 cursed Furby ideas?
I have not eaten yet today, I'm about to faint.
Oh my god, oh my god, nope, nevermind.
Okay, let's open this.
I just took the tape off off camera
and the tape literally disintegrated as I touched it.
Meaning this bitch has never been opened since 1998.
Jesus, oh, it's gonna kill me!
(laughing nervously) Girl.
(laughing and sobbing) Shit.
Okay, you're stuck, girl. Girl, you're stuck.
You're stuck in there.
Oh no, I can't get you out.
Welp, sorry, bye.
(bouncy trap music)
It was taped to the side.
Gonna try to conserve the box as much as I can
'cause I feel like collectors
are gonna attack me if I don't.
So I'm not attacked by those people
that make those cursed ass, I'm sorry,
I'm afraid of everybody that is even invested in a Furby.
There it is!
Ha, eww, eww!
(Mac cackling manically)
Ooh!
Death!
Oh, just look at her stare at you menacingly.
Y'all scared yet because I'm terrified.
Now after reading the box for 20 minutes,
you're now granted with an entire booklet of instructions!
Oh, joy.
Figure out what it needs, watching it grow up.
It apparently sleeps, that's weird.
Girl, why am I wasting batteries like that?
I'm just gonna turn you off.
And then a dictionary of the words it says.
Ay-ay, look. Ah-may, pet.
A-loh, light. A-tay, hunger.
Boo, no. Dah, big.
Doo, what? Doo-ay, fun.
Doo-mah, please feed me.
Jesus, okay, whatever. Let's go.
1998, kids, so don't be that impressed okay.
The password journal was 2004.
You already saw how that turned out.
What kind of batteries do you need?
Stop looking at me. Hold on.
I'm sorry, I just got really scared.
Why did you give it eyelashes?
Its eyelashes are bigger than mine
and I have some big ass eyelashes.
And you see that its eyes are forward facing.
Usually meaning in the wild that is a predatory animal,
always looking forward for its next prey.
Okay, okay, I just got really scared.
- [Furbies] We love you.
- I just found a quick start guide.
"While upside down, put your finger into its mouth
"and hold down the tongue switch."
You want me to put my finger in its mouth?
No, not today.
"And the press the reset button
"and then it will wake up and tell us its name."
Comment down below right now before we figure it out,
what do you think its name is?
I want to say it's Bartholomew
because that's the creepiest name I can think of right now.
What is a name for the late 90s that someone will have?
(indistinct), I don't know. Roger, Dennis, Jessica, Jess.
Sam, it's fucking Sam. Here we go.
It's fucking Sam.
I swear to God, if it does not work I'm going to laugh.
It probably won't.
I mean, it's been sitting on a shelf for over 20 years.
Probably in someone's back basement
with 500 others they're selling for $300 each, Jesus Christ.
Close the battery compartment, okay.
Now, holding upside down,
finger in mouth, button on reset and...
Does not work, okay, okay.
While holding the tongue switch,
press the reset button, boo.
Nope, it's a bust, girl. It's a bust!
Girl, it's a bust!
Girl, you made me put my finger in its mouth and everything
and it doesn't work, Jesus Christ.
Oh hell.
What were you supposed to do? Let me see.
(Furbies talking)
Hell no. Fuck you.
I mean, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
You're probably really great.
Maybe I'll get someone to fix the wiring for this one too
and we can have a part two of this video,
but what do you know?
It's a bust.
You're telling me, ooh, ooh,
don't kill me, don't kill me!
You're telling me
a toy that's been sitting on a shelf for 25 years
does not operate when you turn it on anymore?
Whoa!
And I'm holding it this far away because I dropped it, girl.
It might retaliate.
And if you can see, there's a sensor on its forehead.
Meaning it's always watching.
No matter if it's awake or asleep.
911. Oh my gosh.
Okay, give me a second.
I don't even want this in my house anymore.
I'm afraid to keep this inside.
I feel like it's just going to wake up one night
and suddenly I'm being choked to death.
Or being choked to completion.
(chuckling) No.
Look at his predatorial smug face.
It knows what it's gonna eat for dinner tonight,
and it's me, bitch.
"Have you guys heard about
"this new ska band that I've been listening to,
"they're really great" type of bitch.
You know what I mean.
"Yeah, there's just something about Marilyn Manson's music
"that just really gets me" type of ho.
"It's not all men, you know." You can tell.
"Yeah, I'm pretty Myspace famous, I have 5,000 friends."
You already know.
You know what, I'm making it cursed.
That's it, we're gonna make it cursed.
We're gonna make it cursed.
Don't kill me though.
Don't kill,
wait a minute, can I curse you?
Say something if you don't want to be cursed.
That's what I thought, bitch, I know you!
I know you, motherfucker, let's go!
Furby, say something if I ain't a bad bitch.
Period.
Furby, say something if you think
I'm not the greatest YouTuber on the planet Earth.
Who's Mr. Beast?
Exactly, period. I should be getting the views!
Who needs to spend millions of dollars
to recreate "Squid Game"
when you could watch a guy
with a couple thousands of dollars in his bank account
scream at a Furby instead?
100 million views right now, let's go.
I got you a mask.
Don't be stupid. There's a new variant.
Some clip on earrings so you can stunt on the girls.
Ooh!
And also some hair color changing dye.
Okay, okay, that's enough, that's enough.
(Mac spraying can)
Okay, okay, okay.
It washes out.
It washes out, you collectors. Don't worry.
And then a crown. There we go.
I'm gonna give you a moment.
You tell them, you tell them what it is.
(Man speaking Japanese)
What'd you say, girl, you talking shit?
Oh wait, ooh, there we go!
That's perfect. That's what we came here for.
This is what we're looking at.
This is what we want to see.
Lulu, tell them how it is.
Tell them how it is real quick. Go off, queen.
Go ahead, say it, say it.
Tell them, tell the bitch. (cat toy meows)
Yep, period.
(cat toy purring) Mm hmm.
Mm hmm. Mm hm. (cat toy whirring)
Just had to let the girls know real quick.
Oh no! He's gonna kill us all.
Dropped your crown, look, a mess.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, okay.
Do not wake up in the middle of the night and kill us.
And just in case, I am locking you inside of my closet.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have to.
Once again,
I'm gonna try my best to get someone to rewire this for us.
So if you see another Furby video
appear in your subscription box,
just know that I succeeded in my journey.
But until then, that girl, here it is.
Soak it up, soak it up.
1998 Furby right in front of your face
with the sensor and all, girl.
Watching us,
sending information to the government to drone us down.
You know, you know.
"Yeah, but showering is just a social construct."
You know she would say shit like that.
Hello to red_devil330 and moonchildalt
for retweeting my last video on Twitter.
Comment down below,
how do you think this Furby is going to kill me one day?
Literally comment that down below please
'cause I do not believe,
I do no believe it's not working.
I just believe it is staying quiet
until I turn off this camera
and suddenly it's just gonna pounce on my face.
But anyways, I am going to go.
This was a bust. I don't know what else to do.
Anyways, my name is Mac.
Just a Furby until he tell us their name,
and don't forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe.
Bwah! (yells)
