Ok, Todd. Do you have more of these online? A brief rundown with my history with TNT Amusements: I had cool parents. When my brother was in like 5th grade, my parents had his birthday party there. He's 37 now. It was the absolute best. Cutting edge. No other kid had cool parties like that. (Cool parents, right?) We got older, and one year Santa got us an Earthshaker for Christmas, although I'm sure it wasn't from TNT. (Maybe not so cool parents?) During our high school years, and I forget the exact channel, think 1994-96, but we used to love...LOVE your informercials. The fake hand gag was great, and I even remember one where a nephew of yours came up with the "grab bag"? It was like a backpack on wheels, and you let him take some time to promote on your dime. Very cool. Those infomercials were the absolute best! A few years later, and both my bro and me are still in school, but we are working, living at home, and have some extra cash. We are both huge wrestling fans, and have been to plenty of arcades back in our day. (What's an arcade?) Anyways, we split it down the middle and bought an awesome 4 player Wrestlefest from you. Had terrific fun with it for years, and never any problems. Earthshaker (purchased by bad Santa not at TNT) often had many problems. Your company home serviced it well and also gave love to Wrestlefest for no extra charge. Now I am old, still in the area, and have began thinking of purchasing some pins. TNT is the only place I'd consider for this. But, make an aging guy feel younger again. Your infomercials were a big part of my life growing up. Please post more! You rule! Never change! But consider rocking out the facial hair again.
WOW! What great memories for you and of course to share with everyone here too! We found one more never posted on UA-cam pre 1995 infomercial...and plan to upload that sometime soon...that brings back that old look I once had! We are thinking about resurrecting the hand gag too...since i have not used it since the 2002 show...and it is now 15 years so its due for a repeat!. And remember, we got picked Best of Philly for Adult Parties in 2015...we do great parties for all ages! Now over 25,000 of them in 31 years!
Went to Curt's 27 year old son's wedding last night! Curt was perhaps 24 when we filmed this! Harry was a good looking man in great shape too. He just was unhappy apparently, with life. We miss him.
Brilliant stuff, must be emotional looking back! You look roughly my age now in that old vid. Hope I'm still involved with pinball in years to come as well, all the best man
Hey Todd I just discovered your channel from the Cinemassacre crew as well, so Im on board too! One of these days When I own my own home I will give you call, Im definitely gonna need a Junkyard and a Tales of the Arabian Nights my two favorite tables, in fact they are the only two tables I have beaten so far! Do you have a favorite table? Looking forward to seeing new videos and enjoying your content immensely! Keep up the good work!
Glad to have you aboard! Yes...mentioned in a number of older videos (we now have 1274 of them--1275 going up today--Guns and Roses), my favorites Big Bang Bar, Funhouse, Theater of Magic, and Class of 1812---and I have some fun videos up of all of those games!
Is Genesis really a desirable pin? I could have bought a decent one for $1000 but I passed. It’s a good game or just the rarity makes it “collectible”?
Tod understand you was passed over for a tv show ...probably never happen you won't become rich like others have just from tv ....But honest it's a shame fans can't buy t shirts with the different tnt employees like frank .curt .Wallace John ...and tod and his prety wife because pawn stars does it .....and then later you could add DVD collection of the shows and later coffee mugs then later hats and as long as you price them ware average hard working folks can aford them I believe they would sell real good not at first but once fans new they were available they would sell ...because you guys do have large fan following just a shame t shirts are not available in all size from small guys to kids to adults and big guys like you tod ...if new they were available I buy all the crew tshirts then probably hats ....it's a shame since you can't get a tv show there never be now available tshirts and later hoodies for winter ...But at least we have the show
The T shirt idea may happen if we start getting lots of views...but right now, we are just not getting the views we should have--and therefore get a reality show, that would create a demand for these T shirts of the employees.....
Tod if you did a few tshirts like you with the electric shock or your knees, cracking I bet fans would buy them and slowly add the other guys would sell ...even if you don't get a show on cable or satellite there are lots of fans who would gladly buy tnt amusements tshirts with your pic and the electric and knee joke
Like a nostalgia bullet, awesome! Glad that tour/interview with Mike & Ryan helped me discover the channel & what you do.
Great to have you aboard!!
Young Todd. He knows his stuff!!
After all these years...I did learn a bit!

Also, I should add, look on our channel and search Infomercial or commercial...there is a search button, to see others.
Nice to see you always had it in you, amazing. Cheers from Brasil!
@26:30 Todd with Harry Potters Cloak of Invisibilty! Wow, what stock and prices!
That 3 monitored pole position is awesome!
Lots of people like the feel of the game...a great concept!
The TX-1 a game on my Driving game list of racing games to drive!!
I would love to have a Circus Charlie! One of my favorites, ever...
Todd is a national treasure. :D
You guys shot that infomercial the year I was born!
yes....a long time ago!!
Great video, I really enjoy these old videos!
Thanks Mike!
the 90 ties was great. Kurt looked like a teen and you had a tie nice. so what happen to Harry he looked like a young Travolta almost.
Went to Curt's 27 year old son's wedding last night! Curt was perhaps 24 when we filmed this! Harry was a good looking man in great shape too. He just was unhappy apparently, with life. We miss him.
TNT Amusements Inc great to hear about wedding maybe movie? B-)
That's horrible.. about Harry.
Big Big Fan, Great Movie Really Enjoyed it. Love the journey you great folks take me on for those few minutes.Keep Tilting it!
Glad you liked it!! V Watch for more "From the Vault" videos!
Brilliant stuff, must be emotional looking back! You look roughly my age now in that old vid. Hope I'm still involved with pinball in years to come as well, all the best man
Thanks Andy!! Glad you liked it...and yes, I feel every bit my 61 years now!
I love these Todd!
Thanks...glad you loved it!
What is that behind you at about the 7:00 minute mark? It seems to be an atari playfield... but looks to be bigger than I would expect...?

Todd what a great guy
Great vid, thx for sharing.
About 22 minutes in, you're pointing with the wrong finger, Todd! Kids will be watching this video!
SO you can see it's just natural for me to use that finger!!!
22:37 Todd still flipping the bird to the camera after all these years. xD
I built that in to see if anyone found it! :-)
those TX-1 machines is sure as hell of a beast. those old video make me think of the movie used cars LOL no wait, did I just said that?
I make a good salesman...as DOn Polec said...a used car showroom!
It's *Wallace* @ 18:20 !! (:

Nostalgia :')
A GOOD thing!
Gorgar $599.00. I paid four times that last year. I've been playing it since 1979 and I still freak out as the game sounds speed up. Lol
SOld alot of them back then too!
21:00 I see a Dragon's Lair arcade game in the background.
Yes...Laser Disc and all!
Wow I was 4 in 1991.
You would have been a fan back then too...if you watched with your Daddy!!
Tiltin' Tuckey
I'll take the revised price in the video for Genie Todd :-)
DOne and DOne!
19:57
I laughed so hard!
Yes...my humor was always 3 stooges like even back then!
*Todd any $599 Gorgars hanging around in the warehouse for 26 years?*
Two parts ones now...we continue to harvest stuff from!
How much for a Turtles pinball these days?
I haven;t had one in several years but I suspect 3500
Rockin the rat tail
digging deep in the vault!

More coming today!
Oh yes!!

Frank was a young kid then---alot younger than Curt!
17:57 - 31 yrs. of Parties 1986 to *2007* Uhhhhhhghhh no...Cuurt.
Curt was with me since 1983...and today, I am attending his son's wedding!

but......
