tomer altman because my year group was the first ever year group of that school, our beaches system was constantly changing so it was a gamble if you got to sit on the benches in Year 6. It was always a competition to get to assembly early.
Hi Evan, I’ve been struggling a lot lately with my anxiety and watching your videos always make me feel less alone and are the best parts of my Sunday’s and Thursday’s, so thank you!
Remember on the playground when you were sitting for Pe and you’d pick out the weird colourful things from the floor (the tennis court paint things) and you’d save them for later. What times they were.
I would like to remind Corey that although the books where first, Horrible Histories in my generation which has the magazine’s and cards that you collected
I remember the first time bark appeared in the playgrounds. A huge improvement compared to the concrete slabs that used to be under swings, slides and climbing frames.
Yes! Literally the first thing I know are the diddl papers! Especially those with scent were so cool! Also a primary school thing was exchanging stickers and having a folder for you stickers..
I used to have a pen pal from Bavaria, who would write to me on paper with Diddl die Maus on it! And in turn I would write to her using paper that I decorated, using my grandmother's card making supplies!
Here in the UK there was a kids show called "Get your own back" where kids took on like a parent or a teacher to play challenges against. One of the children would then get to gunge said adult by dunking them into a pool of slime, similar to those things they have at funfairs when you throw a ball at a target to cause the person to fall into the pool of water...except it was a pool of gunge.
I’m from the Midwest. We have both sit down Pizza Huts, and those compartment pencils. Wood chips covered our playgrounds at school. It’s kinda cool that where Evan is from is sooo different from where I live.
my dad was the pirated movie guy. he got them from a guy at his work bc he's in IT and computer stuff. he'd copy them onto blank dvds and give them to friends. all of this happened for free as far as i know. it was fantastic.
5:58 when Noah said it's like fishing he looked so happy lmfao we had the compartment trays when we were under the age of like 7 over 7 you had a flat tray with plastic plates.
Dutchie here, trading Diddle papers was also very much a thing in the Netherlands. It was crazy expensive and in the end we wouldn't even use the paper. I would buy it from my pocket money, ask it for my birthday or trade it with my friends. A few years ago I gave the folder with the accumulated Diddle papers (it was a LOT) to my little sister. She didn't understand the value of it. Even though I was already in my twenties, it still hurt a little to see her use the paper.. as paper. Also the anti-piracy ads were on every DVD.
I'm from the U.S., and we sat on the cold hard gym/cafeteria floor for assemblies Elementary school- no carpet squares lol. Sixth graders got to sit on the small set of bleachers in the back! Our playground also had woodchips, and we questioned it too! They're on a lot of playgrounds- even on one at a daycare that I worked at in college in a southern state. For whatever reason, they called both the dirt and chips mulch. I grew up hearing, "Don't throw woodchips!" I said that at the daycare, and another teacher had to follow up by saying, "Don't throw mulch!" because they didn't call them woodchips for some reason.
When I was at school most gyms had these wooden frames with rungs on the wall. They could be swung out and locked to the floor, and the substantial benches we sat on could hung on the rungs (via the flappy hooks on each end) to help form an obstacle course at times. There even wooden columns that pulled out and had beams that lowered down in them to form balance beams. Thought of this when Noah and Corry were discussing the benches they had to sit on as kids.
For our assemblies the year 1,2,3,4,5 and some year 6 have to sit on mats but the people who had a part in the assembly got to sit on the benches. But sitting on a bench for 2 hours is bad.
Omg I related to SO much of this - I'd almost forgotten about those bench privileges!! And those pencil cartridge thingys! Really enjoying these community vids Evan, keep up the good work!
i live in america and i relate to alot of these. like when i was a 5th grader (equal to year 6 in the UK) i would get a special seat, and the wood chips on the playground were horrid, like maybe its just the area i live in but, yeah…
We had a yo yo man who did an assembly of yo yo tricks and we all came in the next day and bought yo yos from him. We also had those squidgy spiky balls that were on the end of some stretch thing that we threw around. And also scoobies and light up jelly shoes :D the late 90s and early 2000s were so lit lmao
I remember sitting on the floor in primary from P1-P7, (basically all through school) and the only luxury P7 had was sitting against the wall for back support. 😑
Tbf as a brit in reception we got the carpet things Evan was talking about and then in the infant school we all sat on the floor. However, in juniors basically whoever got to the hall first got to sit on the benches. Everyone used to fucking RACE down them stairs
I grew up in Louisiana and I don't believe my local park removed the wood chips from the play ground until February of this year (lovely covid is the only reason I can be that specific 🤣)
The most nostalgic thing from my childhood was people stealing the balls out of the mice so no one could use the computer. One time someone broke into the school's computer lab and stole them all. School was cancelled
Evan Edinger haha can’t believe you replied! I really though I had a chance of getting in this vid and then I saw that someone had commented the same thing as me a day later with a lot less likes got in lol. The sad truth of how youtube sorts comments :( thanks for replying :) love ur vids keep em up!!
The anti-piracy ad on DVD’s that is instilled in the memory of every kid 😂 I also remember the Disney anti-piracy ad that used to come on all of the VHS’s - turns out my friends and I can quote it word for word 😂
This will bring out the older folk: Get your own back Playdays Poddington Peas Family Ness Camberwick Green When you saw a Copper walking around on their beat and hummed The Bill theme at them Why Bird Queen's Nose Dark Towers (Now that's really pushing the memory) Having a fountain pen's ink cartridge leak all over your homework book.
Omg I remember didl paper, my half German friend would get them from Germany when she visited family there and she would always write notes when we were little, also I'm from London and we had carpet squares in yr 3 & 6, same teacher, but in class, also we never got benches in year 6, every1 sat on the floor but the infants (reception- yr 2) and juniors (yr 3-6) had different halls and assemblys but our school was weird, we slept in the hall one night in yr 4, idk y, and the people who forgot something to sleep on had to sleep on those blue mats used in pe, it was so weird, all yr 4s did it, we watched chitty chitty bang bang and played hide and seek and whispered about how it wasn't fair that we had to sleep on the hard blue mats and one of the teachers slept on this massive blue crash mat thing, it was literally the weirdest school ever, there's a ton of other stuff which I genuinely don't understand about our primary school
My school let fifth graders or people wearing skirts sit in chairs and I'd always wear a skirt specifically cause i loved sitting in the chairs We also had the "mechanical" pencils and I hated them so much
Being the wee year 7 walking up to the year 10 kid like, got any wham bars, and they look you up and down trying to guess whether youre a set up from the teachers. They he opens his blazer like some ww2 spiv and you gladly pay 4 times the price. Those were the days.
I'm so confused when he said "carpet squares." Like what? In all my years of American school, I've never heard of such a thing. Every school that I've ever been to had a gym for P.E., a cafeteria, and an auditorium. They were separate entities, not the same room. And my middle school and high school even had multiple gyms for different sports.
someone in my school bought like 100 packs of jafacakes and then sold them all for like double the price, he managed to sell them all and by the time someone snitched to the teachers he didn’t get in trouble cause there was no proof that he sold them
I remember I fell over and my knee cap was in the complete wrong place and all the nurse did was put a wet paper towel on it. I did eventually go hospital when my Dad came and picked me up at the end of the day.
In primary school every class room had an additional smaller group room. Ours was filled with PCs and Laptops (around 15). They were basically just used PCs from different brands. Other classes sometimes used that room too. In high school there was a computer lab. Additionally each floor had one laptop wagon, which the teacher had to book at least a week in advance (year 2007 -2010). The laptops were mac computers, the ones in the lab windows. We didn't have an installed over head projector (called Beamer in German) either. The teacher had to book the beamer for one specific lesson. This was 10 years ago, but unthinkable today!
The ultimate nostalgia: playing bulldog just the once before it was firmly and permanently banned...and then six months later it comes back but it's called something different now so it's fine
I remember moving school and importing bulldog over. The teachers weren't happy, but once a game started it was difficult to stop >:). Tbh my old school didn't care, the teachers started it sometimes lol.
My school always played bulldog and it never got banned whilst I was there but we would play the floor is lava but there was also someone tryna tig you and that got banned bc my friend fell onto the woodchips and broke her arm lol
YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A HANDBAG. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A TELEVISION. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A MOVIE. DOWNLOADING PIRATED FILMS IS STEALING. STEALING IS AGAINST THE LAW. I remember this at the start of the Garfield film
Best part? Legally, they're not the same thing, At All. Anywhere. The Only thing the two acts have in common is that they're illegal... And even that isn't consistent as many countries have (or certainly had at the time) laws that actually made downloading pirated copies of things perfectly legal, under certain conditions (the person Distributing them was usually breaking the law though, one way or another). Usually those conditions amount to "currently own an official copy, and thus a license". Certainly, time and format shifting are/were legal here, and at least for a while DVD players were not only permitted, but to my understanding Required to be capable of bypassing region locks. That was pure corporate propaganda.
i remember always arguing that some people do steal though - like i knew stealing was wrong but i always argued the point that some people do technically make a living out of stealing
Anyone else remember OHP's (Overhead Projectors)? in primary school? I caught a big yellow bus to secondary school, which I found very weird considering thats an american thing, turns out they were imported, How about Art Attack, 50/50, Get Your Own Back, Tracy Beaker, so many kids shows i used to watch on CBBC.
Did you have OHP projector duty in assemblies? A different pair of students for each assembly, one to slowly move the plastic sheet in the right direction along the projector to move the words on the big screen (first attempts were always always upside down and back to front, or in long songs the sheet with the last verses would accidentally be put up before the one with the start of the song), the other held the folder where all the lyric sheets were (theoretically) in alphabetical order, and took the new sheet out and replaced the one that had just been used. I remember one of the songs was Tinga-Layo, a song about a donkey, and one of the teachers had drawn a donkey (in a Sombrero I think?) at the time they had written the sheet out, which one of the kids on projector duty had somehow adorned with extra anatomy at some point, so were weren't supposed to allow the bottom part of the sheet with the picture to appear on screen, but the very action of removing the sheet tended to move that part into view for a second anyway, so I think eventually the headmistress had the picture physically cut off the bottom of the sheet. Another song we did in assemblies was a russian song called Kalynka, which goes "Kaylnka, Kalynka, Kalynka my dear, your name is the whisper of pines I can hear". Every instance of the word 'whisper' was always pronounced by all the kids in the school as a sort of sharp whipping noise and a loud hiss (can't really do the noise justice in written form), which is how our head teacher had taught us the song. He had also written his own verses for some of the other songs, referencing the teachers etc, "The whole class was a trembling, when in came Mr Embling, he was looking rather cross, Swindon Town had just lost, did you ever see....". By the time I reached year 5 he had been replace by a headmistress who banned the school-specific verses of songs, the picture of the donkey I mentioned above, and the 'whisper' sound in Kalynka, although we all continued to make that noise anyway, despite her telling us off each time, as she couldn't really punish 200+ kids.
OHPs were totally a thing when I was in primary school. (Still had blackboards too) The church I went to at the time also used one. ... I vaguely recall one being used occasionally at intermediate school too. Highschool it was all printouts instead.
A bug got trapped under the glass on our school's OHP once, which we all found really funny, so we all got shouted at by the headmistress for "giggling during hymn practice".
We got to use it once a year at the end of half a term of "gymnastics" in years 4,5 and 6. I only got to use it once because in both year 4 and year 6 i had PE on Fridays and I used to skip the last friday of the february half term to go on holiday so I missed my only opportunities.
CBeebies had a segment for kids' birthdays - your parents would send in a decorated card with your name and age 2 weeks before your birthday and then the presenters would wish you a happy birthday on TV with the card. Year after year I would harass my parents and would be shot down each time. But the song has become an in joke between friends to use on each other's birthdays.
Once they accidentally gave me the wrong shoes so I got a accessory for them but didn’t get them as a sorry but me as a child be like i , need to do this more often
Everyone in my school was too poor for lelli kellies so we had the ones from clarkes with the toys in the heels, and idk if this was just my primary school but we were only allowed unhealthy snacks at break on Fridays , they were banned the rest of the week. Also my primary school only had one main hall so you do indoor p.e. (In your plimsolls kids) and eat in the same place , they just put out pop up tables and chairs for lunch so sitting on the benches in year 6 was luxury because you didn’t have to sit on all the squashed peas and shit on the floor that the cleaners had missed. And don’t even get me started on the massive p.e. climbing frame that you only ever got out once in your entire school life bc the teachers could never be arsed to set it up. Oh and one last thing , wether you had a tiny cut or were dying of terminal cancer , the first aid lady always gave you a wet paper towel as a cure.
The bloody folding climbing frame thing just sat there like the bloody team points board that didn't matter anyway because the same people won the same vegan lollipops every dam month or when ever it was until they did that healthy eating thing and then we never Did the team points again
Did we go to the same school? I always prayed we'd need those flat blue crash mats if our PE lesson was after lunch. Otherwise it'd be sports in bare feet on the barely swept floor

Fun Fact: the music used in the anti piracy ad was itself pirated
Oh the irony
iirc they only had the rights to use it on one thing, but used it on everything
honestly wish I’d been in the room when someone realised, pure comedy
That's right wasn't it heavily borrowed from The Prodigy song "One Man Army?"
Omg that's hilarious 😂 🤣
😂😂😂 Wow the irony!
Year 6 benches absolute elite but they were so uncomfortable especially if you sat at the end of them either in the gap or those bump things
I remember for some reason, whenever I sat on the benches it was always on 4 of those bump things and I was never allowed to move.
We had one too many people in our year for the benches, so there was always one year six on the floor
tomer altman because my year group was the first ever year group of that school, our beaches system was constantly changing so it was a gamble if you got to sit on the benches in Year 6. It was always a competition to get to assembly early.
Fiddling with the dangly metal and leather hinged things on the end and having the teacher tell you off as it was making a racket.
we were advanced and had stools from the it room 😂
“Dick and Dom was like Ant and Dec but for kids” All the adults watching this who remember Ant and Dec on SMTV Live make yourselves known, PLEASE!

Over here! I remember challenge ant was a popular part of that! And chums!
Wonky donkey 😂 or chums

you had the worst luck if you ended up right on those bench bumps...
on the other hand you waited your whole life to sit on those damn benches
Oh shit, I'd forgotten about the bench bumps
But its elite when you sit on the very back cus the teachers aren't asked so you just play pokemon or something
Or the best luck 🤣
I always offer to swap as I loved the bumps
Hi Evan, I’ve been struggling a lot lately with my anxiety and watching your videos always make me feel less alone and are the best parts of my Sunday’s and Thursday’s, so thank you!

We only got carpet squares in kindergarten... they were the BEST!
Carpet squares were the ONE
We had to sit on the floor and it was the cafeteria so there was always food on the ground
I'm English but when i used to got to church when i was little we had those carpet squares as well
I would like to remind Corey that although the books where first, Horrible Histories in my generation which has the magazine’s and cards that you collected

Evan Edinger ha sorry 😂😂
"wooden chips" lol in Germany we call them "Rindenmulch" so there's an extra word for it and in my opinion it's a very ugly word 😂
Mulch?
We call it bark in the USA
In Australia we called wooden chips 'tan bark'
I remember the first time bark appeared in the playgrounds. A huge improvement compared to the concrete slabs that used to be under swings, slides and climbing frames.
@@lucasbecerra3355 well "Rinde" is (I think?) bark in english... But still the combination "Rindenmulch" just sounds so weird...

We had a yo yo man who did an assembly of yo yo tricks and we all came in the next day and bought yo yos from him.

This was in assembly, sorry forgot to say.
In the us there are also parks with wooden chips too
We had school buses but they weren't specifically a school bus, the school just paid different bus and coach companies
Who else had those potato round Happy smiley faces. I loved them when in primary.

I was drinking coffee doing school work and I just hear Noah go "I brought a gun to the school disco" and now there is coffee on my geography work
What was with the wooden climbing bar things in the hall in school? Like nobody ever used them. They were always just locked up to the wall.
My primary school had a computer in every classroom it was the 80s/90s though, so they were BBC Micro and Acorn Archimedes but they were there.

Wet paper towels and a cup of water
I remember I fell over and my knee cap was in the complete wrong place and all the nurse did was put a wet paper towel on it.
I did eventually go hospital when my Dad came and picked me up at the end of the day.
high school as well tbh
Scrape a knee, wet paper towel, break a bone, wet paper towel, die, wet paper towel 😂
Anyone else have a "computer lab" in their school and no computers in their classroom?
Yep! When I was in year 6 (02/03)we had this and had a lesson each week dedicated to learning how to use it. We mostly played games.
Ict suite
We called it the ICT suite
No we had at least 3 BBC Micros
In primary school every class room had an additional smaller group room. Ours was filled with PCs and Laptops (around 15). They were basically just used PCs from different brands. Other classes sometimes used that room too. In high school there was a computer lab. Additionally each floor had one laptop wagon, which the teacher had to book at least a week in advance (year 2007 -2010). The laptops were mac computers, the ones in the lab windows. We didn't have an installed over head projector (called Beamer in German) either. The teacher had to book the beamer for one specific lesson. This was 10 years ago, but unthinkable today!
The ultimate nostalgia: playing bulldog just the once before it was firmly and permanently banned...and then six months later it comes back but it's called something different now so it's fine
I remember moving school and importing bulldog over. The teachers weren't happy, but once a game started it was difficult to stop >:). Tbh my old school didn't care, the teachers started it sometimes lol.
Oh my god, I remember the ban. And yeah, it did change names didn't it? Can't remember what to though
That bs excuse that was given for the ban too
My school always played bulldog and it never got banned whilst I was there but we would play the floor is lava but there was also someone tryna tig you and that got banned bc my friend fell onto the woodchips and broke her arm lol
yes xD
YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A HANDBAG. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A TELEVISION. YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A MOVIE. DOWNLOADING PIRATED FILMS IS STEALING. STEALING IS AGAINST THE LAW. I remember this at the start of the Garfield film
I recommend searching for the IT Crowd version of this notice..
I remember someone once saying, "If I could 3D print a car, I WOULD steal one!"
Best part?
Legally, they're not the same thing, At All. Anywhere.
The Only thing the two acts have in common is that they're illegal... And even that isn't consistent as many countries have (or certainly had at the time) laws that actually made downloading pirated copies of things perfectly legal, under certain conditions (the person Distributing them was usually breaking the law though, one way or another). Usually those conditions amount to "currently own an official copy, and thus a license".
Certainly, time and format shifting are/were legal here, and at least for a while DVD players were not only permitted, but to my understanding Required to be capable of bypassing region locks.
That was pure corporate propaganda.
i remember always arguing that some people do steal though - like i knew stealing was wrong but i always argued the point that some people do technically make a living out of stealing
Ironically the tune used in that advert was stolen itself from the Prodigy song one man army.
Anyone else remember OHP's (Overhead Projectors)? in primary school? I caught a big yellow bus to secondary school, which I found very weird considering thats an american thing, turns out they were imported, How about Art Attack, 50/50, Get Your Own Back, Tracy Beaker, so many kids shows i used to watch on CBBC.
OMG! I LOVED 50/50!
Did you have OHP projector duty in assemblies? A different pair of students for each assembly, one to slowly move the plastic sheet in the right direction along the projector to move the words on the big screen (first attempts were always always upside down and back to front, or in long songs the sheet with the last verses would accidentally be put up before the one with the start of the song), the other held the folder where all the lyric sheets were (theoretically) in alphabetical order, and took the new sheet out and replaced the one that had just been used. I remember one of the songs was Tinga-Layo, a song about a donkey, and one of the teachers had drawn a donkey (in a Sombrero I think?) at the time they had written the sheet out, which one of the kids on projector duty had somehow adorned with extra anatomy at some point, so were weren't supposed to allow the bottom part of the sheet with the picture to appear on screen, but the very action of removing the sheet tended to move that part into view for a second anyway, so I think eventually the headmistress had the picture physically cut off the bottom of the sheet. Another song we did in assemblies was a russian song called Kalynka, which goes "Kaylnka, Kalynka, Kalynka my dear, your name is the whisper of pines I can hear". Every instance of the word 'whisper' was always pronounced by all the kids in the school as a sort of sharp whipping noise and a loud hiss (can't really do the noise justice in written form), which is how our head teacher had taught us the song. He had also written his own verses for some of the other songs, referencing the teachers etc, "The whole class was a trembling, when in came Mr Embling, he was looking rather cross, Swindon Town had just lost, did you ever see....". By the time I reached year 5 he had been replace by a headmistress who banned the school-specific verses of songs, the picture of the donkey I mentioned above, and the 'whisper' sound in Kalynka, although we all continued to make that noise anyway, despite her telling us off each time, as she couldn't really punish 200+ kids.
OHPs were totally a thing when I was in primary school. (Still had blackboards too) The church I went to at the time also used one. ... I vaguely recall one being used occasionally at intermediate school too. Highschool it was all printouts instead.
A bug got trapped under the glass on our school's OHP once, which we all found really funny, so we all got shouted at by the headmistress for "giggling during hymn practice".
Hider in the House anyone?
i cant believe i used to pay £2 for an ‘iced bun’ which was just a bit of icing on a hotdog bun
For us it was a burger bun.
They were vile, I would honestly eat the icing off the top and leave the bun part 😂
Oh damn, ours were only £1, rising to £1.10 after few years in secondary school
Woooow now I miss these
That sounds really gross
The weirdest part of primary school is the brightly coloured gymnastic stuff that was never touched.
Ours was broken,wobbly and unstable but I went on them once
I resent every other class that were allowed to use them because IT WAS NEVER YOURS
My school was only yr 6s can go on it but when I was in yr 6 they changed it yr 5s and then when I left it was yr 6s again
We got to use it once a year at the end of half a term of "gymnastics" in years 4,5 and 6. I only got to use it once because in both year 4 and year 6 i had PE on Fridays and I used to skip the last friday of the february half term to go on holiday so I missed my only opportunities.
We used it like once
CBeebies had a segment for kids' birthdays - your parents would send in a decorated card with your name and age 2 weeks before your birthday and then the presenters would wish you a happy birthday on TV with the card. Year after year I would harass my parents and would be shot down each time. But the song has become an in joke between friends to use on each other's birthdays.
It's also on tiny pop and milkshake now. But back then I would be my mum but it never happened 😭
my parents are still so salty about the amount of hours they spent on my birthday card and cbeebies didn’t show it lmao
Those lelly kelly shoes though. I was the only one in my class who didn’t have them because my feet were to narrow... sad times:(
i didnt have them because they were too expensive. sorry about ur narrow feet
_ITS LELLY KELLY, THE CUTEST SHOES_
*OH YEAH*
plenty - sleep bruh same
do you remember those clark’s shoes that had dolls in the heels?
Once they accidentally gave me the wrong shoes so I got a accessory for them but didn’t get them as a sorry but me as a child be like i , need to do this more often
Everyone in my school was too poor for lelli kellies so we had the ones from clarkes with the toys in the heels, and idk if this was just my primary school but we were only allowed unhealthy snacks at break on Fridays , they were banned the rest of the week. Also my primary school only had one main hall so you do indoor p.e. (In your plimsolls kids) and eat in the same place , they just put out pop up tables and chairs for lunch so sitting on the benches in year 6 was luxury because you didn’t have to sit on all the squashed peas and shit on the floor that the cleaners had missed. And don’t even get me started on the massive p.e. climbing frame that you only ever got out once in your entire school life bc the teachers could never be arsed to set it up. Oh and one last thing , wether you had a tiny cut or were dying of terminal cancer , the first aid lady always gave you a wet paper towel as a cure.
The bloody folding climbing frame thing just sat there like the bloody team points board that didn't matter anyway because the same people won the same vegan lollipops every dam month or when ever it was until they did that healthy eating thing and then we never Did the team points again
That is litteraly the same as my school
This is exactly like my primary! We had a gymnastics club so I got to use the climbing frame like once a month, it was so exciting 😂
Did we go to the same school? I always prayed we'd need those flat blue crash mats if our PE lesson was after lunch. Otherwise it'd be sports in bare feet on the barely swept floor
i had the clarks too with that doll, it was a step up from the cheap Asda shoes for a while until i begged my mum to get me Bootleg shoes.
