(upbeat music)
- Man, I was born in the '80s, but I grew up in the '90s.
It was a time of neon clothing and really really bad hair.
But despite those things, some of my
favorite memories were from that decade,
so I came up with a list of my favorite things from the '90s
that I kind of miss as an adult.
Remember those glow in the dark ceiling stickers?
Everybody had those stickers.
You were not cool unless your ceiling
was glowing with stars and planets.
Sometimes kids would come over for a sleepover
and they'd be like "Oh, I'm afraid of the dark.
"Where's the nightlight?"
And I'd be like "I don't need no nightlight, motherfucker.
"I got a glowing ceiling, bitch!"
Some of the best video game consoles
of all time came out in the '90s.
I had everything from the
original Nintendo to the Nintendo 64,
and I still say that some of the best games
of all time came out on those systems.
One of my fondest memories as a kid
was playing GoldenEye 007 split-screen
multiplayer on my little 19-inch TV.
Everyone got about a five-inch box.
It was very challenging to play on, but incredibly fun.
Do you guys remember Gak and Floam?
Gak was this weird rubbery stuff,
and it really didn't do anything
except make a fart noise when you
stuck your fingers into the container.
And Floam was this weird, foam-feeling stuff,
but you could mold it into whatever you wanted.
Ninja Turtle Action Figures.
I had every single Ninja Turtle Action Figure,
and I'm pretty sure they're still in my mom's attic.
I literally had every single one.
I had everything from Krang to the pizza thrower.
Do you guys remember the pizza thrower?
That tank looking thing that ran on batteries
and sounded like a vacuum when you turned it on?
You push this little button on the side,
and, pew, a little pizza disc would shoot out.
It was so much fun.
The Goosebumps book series, oh man.
Say Cheese and Die and Monster Blood
were some of the best literature of all time.
Snap-on wristbands, everybody had those.
Nerf guns, oh man.
Nerf guns were awesome because you could shoot someone
and not get in trouble for it 'cause it didn't hurt.
Nerf footballs, on the other hand,
are a completely different story, 'cause those bitches hurt.
I got one in the balls once, and let's just say I went down.
The next step up from Nerf guns was Super Soakers.
My favorite Super Soaker was the CBS 2000.
That thing was big as a freaking cannon
and it was way too much power for one kid.
That thing was extremely heavy.
It carried a lot of water and shot with a lot of pressure.
I'm pretty sure I almost took out the eye of a kid once.
What about Silly Putty?
You remember that stuff that came
in a little plastic egg and it was just hours of fun?
And it was so simple.
It was just this little putty stuff,
but you could do anything with it.
You could bounce it, mold it,
and copy anything from the newspaper.
I used to swing it around as fast as I could
to see how long it could go before a piece ripped off.
Remember Stretch Armstrong? Who didn't have one of these?
And don't forget his arch-nemesis, Vac-Man.
Now matter how hard I pulled on that bitch,
that thing would never break,
but I had some friends that would torture those things,
like, they would put them in the freezer,
and then like smash them to pieces and stuff.
I had some weird friends.
Pogs were a personal favorite of mine growing up.
In fact, I was the first one to
bring Pogs to my grade school,
and after a while, they got so big
that people would actually fight over these things.
It actually got banned from my grade school,
but screw those little milk disc thingies.
i used to play for slammers.
I was the big baller on the playground.
Portable gaming systems, Tamagotchi and Game Boy.
Enough said.
Beanie Babies were a huge fad in the '90s.
Some of these things were so collectible
that they were worth thousands of dollars.
Yes, I used to collect them. Yes, I was a weird kid.
Troll Dolls, because who doesn't remember Troll Dolls?
Mighty Max!
Ah, the worlds funnest choking hazard.
How do they pack so much fun into this small thing?
I used to freaking love Mighty Max.
Not only did I have the whole set
of each of the individual big plastic things,
but I actually had the Mighty Max watch.
You'd open it, and there'd be a
little tiny Mighty Max inside.
I don't really know why I liked it so much.
It was just fun.
The Trash Bag Bunch, another one of my absolute
fondest memories of being a kid was collecting these things.
You used to put this little trash bag in water,
and, as it was dissolved, it would
reveal whatever action figure you got.
I don't think I ever collected them all,
but I was pretty damn close.
Plasma Globes!
They were these glass balls that you would plug into a wall,
and electricity would shoot out every direction,
and whenever your hand would get close,
electricity would just go like bzzt to your hand.
It didn't hurt or anything; it just looked really cool.
Micro Machines, yet another toy that needs no introduction.
Everybody had these things.
Lite Brite in this bitch!
And so many good TV shows came out of the '90s.
The Power Rangers, Transformers Beast Wars, ReBoot, Doug.
Rugrats was a thing, but I never really watched it.
♫Bill Nye the Science Guy. Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!♫
Saved by the Bell, what up?
Xena Warrior Princess, what, I never watched that.
And one of my favorite shows of all time,
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Uncle Phil! Uncle Phil!
And of course, the '90s would not be complete
without those famous catchphrases that everybody said.
Psych! So, sue me. Did I do that?
Ooh, Family Matters, that was another really good show.
So, hopefully, I brought back some good memories for you.

And, other than that, I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, what, no, it's every Saturday
new videos, not tomorrow, psych!
And I'd be like "I don't need no light light."
Light light light light light light lalalalalala light light
(strange dinosaur noises)
Oh, Jurassic Park, yes, that's another one.
