There have been some crazy kid toys over the years.

Who designed this Buzz Lightyear cup?

Hmm?

Who did it?

Check this out.

It's called a Furby.

It got banned by the U.S.

National Security Agency.

You're not a national security threat, are you, Furby?

Death is inevitable.

Okay.

Today, we're going through a naughty list of toys that got banned from our childhood.

Some got locked up for no reason, free my boy Poe.

But some got locked up because they literally ate kids' fingers off.

We'll get to that.

I rented a studio and a suit to film this video because it makes me feel like I have a real job.

that my dad can be proud of.

Let's cut to that.

Howdy, I'm in a suit.

I recreated my childhood bedroom.

I thought it would be more nostalgic if I reviewed the banned items here.

I don't have many photos or videos from my childhood.

In fact, this is pretty much it.

That's pretty much all I got right there.

A bunch of people have like old VHS tapes of themselves.

How?

But at least I've got some banned childhood products under my bed.

Let's get started.

First up, Easy Bake Oven.

Banned in 2007.

Reason for ban?

Fingers getting stuck, burned, and even partially amputated due to oven goodness.

This one is vintage.

I think this one is brand new as well.

That's not brand new at all.

This is the baking mix it comes with.

This is literally like 50 years old, which is extremely concerning.

That smells like a funeral.

That's absurd.

I'm gonna go with the chocolate chip cookie mix.

Let's give it a shot.

Okay, I've got a giant chocolate chip cookie.

Let's see if this thing works.

There's no buttons on this thing,

so you just plug it in.

Voila, it's cooking.

We're going to put this off to the side and check on it later.

Next up, Bindi's.

Reason for ban?

The binding agent is drug.

That is literally all I've got in my notes.

In fact, I don't even have that.

I just have a poorly drawn Buzz Lightyear.

I am not prepared to run this YouTube channel.

Anyways, let's check it out Jeez,

this thing's really in there.

How do I get this out of here?

This toy comes with a couple fun figurines of Woody

and Buzz Lightyear and the item in question the bendies themselves These are the ones that allegedly contain drug.

I don't know the details of that accusation.

Let's do this That's supposed to be Rex.

Should it be unbanned?

Probably not.

This was way too hard.

Next up, Cabbage Patch Snacktime Doll.

Reason for ban?

Allegedly, this toy would eat hair and fingers with a very powerful bite.

The commercial for this toy is so funny because the entire purpose of this toy is exactly why it can't exist.

Look at that fight.

The child actors in this commercial are saying the exact words that lead to a lawsuit.

Wow, she really did!

The amount of foreshadowing on this box is kind of hilarious.

Feed me, my mouth really moves.

Why do they put quotation marks around eat?

That somehow makes it worse.

I'm actually kind of scared of this, but...

I'd be biting people too if I was locked up like this.

Goodness!

Now that is bedhead.

Bro's been in there for 40 years.

Goodness gracious.

Hi, I'm Brad Ward.

That's the most burning!

Now there's no guarantees this actually works.

Whoa!

Finger got stuck there a little bit.

You hungry, Brad?

Stand up.

You ready?

Alright, so Brad came with a few fun snacks.

We've got banana, carrot, pretzel, things like that.

But I've also got a real baby carrot.

And apparently carrots are the exact strength of fingers.

So...

Okay guys, I'm gonna do the real carrot now it now.

Come on, Brad.

Eat it.

Imagine that's your kid's finger.

Let it go, Brad.

100

Gosh, I think Brad's choking.

101

Should I put my finger in there?

102

Dude, he's got a powerful,

103

but he's trying to let me go.

104

Should we unban Brad Ward?

105

Absolutely not.

106

Next up, Razor Scooter.

107

Reason for ban?

108

Choking hazard.

109

I'm just kidding.

110

Technically, Frankly, it's not banned,

111

but I'm pretty sure everybody's ankles got destroyed by these things.

112

This is actually so nostalgic for me.

113

I love these things.

114

Oh, there it is.

115

I'm gonna take this thing outside.

116

It's called

117

Stupid box Should we unban it?

118

Heck yes That was the most fun I've had in a while

119

Next item Sky dancers reason for ban Allegedly would cut people,

120

break teeth, and cause nosebleeds,

121

which is the exact description of a UFC fighter.

122

I'm living 25 years in the future.

123

I still don't know how this works.

124

Flying doll.

125

Yeah, that could hurt some people.

126

I'm sweating.

127

I'm drenched.

128

Hidden high above the clouds lives the magical world of the Sky Dancers.

129

Watch the skyline.

130

It's magic time.

131

Purplicious can dance, glide, and fly through the sky.

132

With her sweet power, she can transform any cloud into cotton candy.

133

What?

134

A team in the 90s wrote that and thought it was gold.

135

And it is.

136

I love it.

137

I never learned how to open stuff.

138

Okay, this one is interesting because there's no batteries.

139

There's no...

140

I don't know how this works.

141

Let's get you out of there.

142

It seems as if there's a bit of a spinning device here,

143

as you can see there.

144

Already ready for takeoff.

145

I'm gonna test it over here.

146

You guys, Zach is behind the camera right now.

147

I'm gonna ask him.

148

to attack me with Purplicious.

149

I don't have any safety team on set.

150

Either way this goes.

151

Oh, God!

152

Let's go to the next one.

153

I'm fine.

154

I'm fine.

155

Should it be unbanned?

156

No. I'm actually begging you.

157

Next up, Tickle Me Elmo Hands.

158

Reason for ban?

159

Too much fun.

160

No, once again, there was a defect in the toy battery that posed a choking hazard.

161

So yeah, we've got a mint condition Tickle Me Elmo handset.

162

Kind of tickle others with these.

163

Looks like this product includes silly sounds and fun phrases.

164

It's pretty much my entire YouTube career.

165

Alright, well, let's unbox it.

166

It seems as though they've put Elmo here.

167

It's a bit deceitful, I would say.

168

You might think you get the full Elmo, but just the hands.

169

How do you get this?

170

Can you do this?

171

It's me, Elmo!

172

The original battery was still in there,

173

just a little bit corroded.

174

I'm just gonna insert this battery and pray that it works.

175

I highly doubt it.

176

Alright, here goes nothing.

177

Oh.

178

I don't like these.

179

I don't get ya!

180

I'm not sure at what age this becomes inappropriate,

181

but I'm pretty sure I'm past that.

182

Should these be unbanned?

183

Tickle me hell.

184

Next item, Kinder Surprise Egg.

185

Reason for ban?

186

Non-nutritivitum.

187

I always thought these got banned from the US because they were just bad for you.

188

But then again, we have so much chocolate,

189

so I don't know, I guess that makes sense that that's not the case.

190

Let's unbox it.

191

How do you eat this?

192

So the reason that they got banned from the US is because of this right here.

193

It's the plastic that holds the surprise,

194

which is the whole premise of the chocolate.

195

You don't have the surprise,

196

you don't have Kinder Surprise.

197

Just imagine, you unwrap it,

198

you've got yourself what seems to be a chocolate egg,

199

you take a bite.

200

Next thing you know, you've got chipped teeth and a confusing Paw Patrol toy in your mouth.

201

Should we unban it?

202

Yes.

203

America, we're ready.

204

Next item, soccer boppers.

205

Reason for ban, kids fighting each other.

206

I mean, it's literally the whole point of the toy,

207

but, uh, yep, that's why.

208

The main value proposition of this toy,

209

like the main thing they say is,

210

more fun than a pillow fight.

211

But I feel like the thing is,

212

it's so similar to actually fighting,

213

It's almost it's almost like what if we just took these off and did the same thing.

214

That's what I did my brother I just know these kids are like working on Wall Street right now crazy.

215

We all grew up.

216

Oh Green and blue.

217

Oh, dude, that is nostalgic How do you

218

So easy I'm lightheaded once again to test these out I'm gonna be giving Zach one One.

219

Two.

220

Punch.

221

Me.

222

Oh, that hurt!

223

Thanks.

224

Should we unban them?

225

You decide.

226

Okay, we can go to the next one.

227

Next item, moon shoes.

228

Reason for ban?

229

Allegedly rolled ankles, kids launching into objects,

230

and a nine-year-old actually stepping foot on the moon.

231

Just kidding about that last one.

232

I actually always wanted one of these as a kid.

233

This is this is a big day for me.

234

This is sick I love how childhood products have like features on the back

235

that are just they're just not that cool But they make them look so sick base tread stands straps

236

Goodness these are huge.

237

Oh, this is sick The moon shoes come with this with the base shoe kind of the enclosure here

238

And I believe these are what make you fly.

239

Okay, I'm gonna assemble these and then I'm headed to the moon That took so long to assemble.

240

The maximum weight capacity for these is 130 pounds.

241

I'm a little bit over that.

242

Not much.

243

A little bit.

244

But the way

245

that I'm going to test these is I'm going to jump in place without them on

246

and then with them on and we'll see which one is better at jumping.

247

I know that's probably going to attract a lot of scouts from various sports,

248

but I'm not available.

249

All right.

250

The highest jump of my life in three, two, one.

251

Oh my gosh.

252

These are so fun.

253

These are so...

254

So that's moon shoes.

255

Should we unban them?

256

Yes?

257

We should also make adults wear them.

258

Next item, Teletubbies talking Poe.

259

Reason for ban would say crazy stuff like bite my butt and other inappropriate things.

260

Bite my butt is concerning at best.

261

Poe.

262

So this is in its original packaging and this toy is from 1998.

263

Literally the year I was born.

264

So that's as old as I am.

265

It's held up a little bit better than me.

266

Alright, so this is what we're working with.

267

How is that working still?

268

It's almost 25 years old.

269

To hear a phrase, simply press your Teletubbies tummy.

270

Cut that out.

271

You can subscribe to my YouTube channel.

272

Ohhhhhhh!

273

I guess I should just keep clicking it until it says something inappropriate.

274

Is it just a song?

275

Look guys, I just did everything I could.

276

He's not talking.

277

Out of all the toys that got banned,

278

quote-unquote, Poe got locked up for no reason.

279

The last item?

280

Heelys.

281

Reason for ban?

282

Being awesome.

283

These got banned at my school.

284

Most airports.

285

Probably my favorite invention of my childhood.

286

Really, this was just an excuse for me to buy them as an adult.

287

Check this out.

288

They've got flames on them.

289

Oh my gosh, I'm wearing these unironically for the rest of the year.

290

Oh, shoot the Easy Bake.

291

Oh my gosh.

292

Okay, I think I was supposed to take this cookie out like an hour and a half ago.

293

Come on.

294

Oh my gosh.

295

It somehow looks uncooked and burned at the same time.

296

I don't know what to do with this cookie other than record it.

297

It was in there for like an hour and a half.

298

Let's get back to the Heelys.

299

You've got two wheels that come with the shoes,

300

and basically you just pop them in, and you ride.

301

I'm nervous.

302

We're gonna go back outside and test these bad boys.

303

I haven't done this in 15 years,

304

and even when I did do it,

305

I was not good at it, so.

306

They got me mic'd up.

307

You wake up, you have a choice.

308

You have a choice to get after it,

309

or you don't get after it.

310

Sometimes in life you hit speed bumps.

311

You hit speed bumps every now and then.

312

Let's get it.

313

Oh My gosh my back just popped.

314

Oh, it's like my middle back.

315

You see me in the frozen meat section of Walmart doing this what you doing?

316

This was fun.

317

I'm gonna text my dad and see if he can come over here We'll see if he recognizes this room.

318

What's up?

319

This look familiar?

320

My dad didn't really recognize this as my bedroom.

321

It's supposed to be my childhood bedroom.

322

Oh, okay.

323

I mean, kind of.

324

I mean, kind of.

325

Yeah, okay.

326

I'm down with it.

327

Okay.

328

Well, this is- I had an idea for a final shot of the video.

329

He got double shoulder surgery.

330

They feel good?

331

Nice.

332

Oh, yeah, I got a spiral too.

333

I caught

334

mine, I caught my breath I caught mine, I caught my breath

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
