For that reason, in this iceberg explained video, I go through the recalled products iceberg chart, and take a deep dive to discover why these toys were banned from the market. From barbies to LOL dolls and everything in between, in this video I'm going through the stupidest, the most dangerous and the darkest reasons why children's toys were banned or recalled. This is the darkest and dumbest banned toys iceberg explained...

Imagine a person asking someone “how did you get that cool scar” and the reply is just “that sky dancer did a number on me when I was a kid”
😂
i was genuinely surprised with what they were actually recalled for. when i was little i had one and itd always get caught in my hair, i assumed that was the reason why they were recalled
It's been over 20 years and I still recoil at the thought of getting hit.
How the fuck can somebody Get broken ribs from those things?
my 1 scar is me getting mauled by a dog after kicking it when i was 2😭
In an ironic reversal, my nephew got hold of my talking Kyle Broflovski toy and kept running around shouting, "You mustard!" afterwards.
XD
"OH MY GOD. THEY KILLED KETCHUP!"
RIP Ketchup McCormick. You always die though
So funny
That is quite the laugh.
I remember having the pregnant barbie and loved it. I don't get why people thought it would promote teen pregnancy. I mean come on little girls play with babies dolls pretending to be like mommy all the time. It's not like the Barbie promoted sex or anything. It was different and interesting
I never understood why our society is such prudish with such subjects anyways. after all, its LITERAL NATURE. like, I get it probably came from religion(and still does in some cases) but even then, why was religion so squeamish about those things in the first place, what started it all?? I will maybe never even know, or my brain is too small to comprehend the real answer if ever I hear it idk.
I had one that had twins and I loved her, also stopped me asking where babies came from
Lol as a little girl I bought the pooping peeing puppies Barbie just because I thought that shit was funny.
i thought it was creepy.. glad it's gone, hope they never bring it back.
We don't need barbie to promote pregnancy. Teen mom already had that covered haha
This video just reminded of of how Beyblades are all plastic now, while the ones I had as a kid were solid metal. I have fond memories of my friends and I running in sheer terror when one went astray, because those things hurt like hell if they hit you, and most of us were wearing open-toed shoes because it was summer. Good times, man.
do you still have them?
One of my worst memories is when my neighbor took my shiny new Galaxy Pegasus with the nice blue paint job and purposely launched it at an angle into the asphalt multiple times despite my protests to “make it look cooler”. It did not, in fact, make it look cooler, and ended up stripping more than half the paint off…
@@inkuii I'm pretty sure I would have just punched my neighbor over that.
I used to cut my fingers with metal Beyblades when they hit me
my brother gave himself a black eye w a steel beyblade one time. we still make fun of him to this day
I don't mind the LOL dolls being taken down. It really annoys me how back then, parents complained about Bratz being too sexualized, meanwhile the LOL OMG dolls exists.
That’s what I said, it’s seriously screwed up
fr they literally have nipples... like why??? what was the point in doing that 😬
There is one OMG doll that is straight up called "Spicy Babe" if I remember correctly. Yeah...
@@majora_03 wait... IT HAS NIPS WTF!?!
@@majora_03 it's to teach preteens about their body !
The LOL dolls are quite real they tend to have slightly suggestive outfits despite being apparently toddlers. The whole brand is just kinda weird looking into it but is too overwhelmingly popular to earn such a world wide ban. They would also repost images of children dressing up as the LOL characters and as I've stated they have really suggestive outfits some times.
wait they're meant to be toddlers????? i didn't even know that.
@@cennix i thought they were like 7-10
@@p3tert0rk there's actually a wind age range as they have a few spin offs such as straight up babies, the toddlers, the preteens and the teens

O ....my .....God
As a doll collector, I personally greatly dislike the LOL tots.
The OMGs are fine, and so are the Tweens. It's just the fact that they're literal babies. The thing with most incidents like the nipples was just bad quality paint that rubbed off on the doll's admittedly out of place prominent nips.
Its just a mess, with the Tots.
i collect omg occasionally and ive stopped collecting the babies cuz i find them creepy as all hell
I despise the tots, babies, and pets but the O.M.G.'s and B.T.W.'s are totally my jam though
@@strudel_reviews Omg the pets look ridiculous and just horrendous. The design does not work for animals at all.
I can't wait to sell my O.M.G. once it gets a lot of value.
To be fair they were just blind boxes, what your mainly buying is the mystery and the reveal
Question: Why is Sandy's nose detachable? Not once in the series does her nose come off
It’s most likely not on purpose, from what I can tell the nose was simply held on with a string rather then completely sewn on to give it a more round look, unfortunately since it was only held on by one string it was pretty easy to simply rip off
It not a feature of the toy. The nose is a hard plastic bit just sewn onto the plush. It can easily get ripped off and be swallowed by a baby

The trolls doll is one of the worst, and I personally saw it in action. Just before it was recalled, my dad (who resells toys) bought it. Then the whole controversy came out. Since he still had it, I myself was able to see the small button through the box and press it. It was seriously weird and disturbing. I hadn't heard of its purpose being for making noise when sitting before, but if that was the goal they did terribly. Over the few times I clicked it all I got was mostly short gasps and giggles. I don't usually gasp when I sit down...but okay. One of the worst absolutely, just so uncomfortable. I can't believe it was even approved.
That’s what I was thinking too. It’s not like it’s some kind of potty training doll where a sitting mechanic is a bit of a requirement.
@@entr3_nou5 even if it was... who gasps when they sit on the toilet?

But is it true about the sugestive surpirse underwear?
@@343flyingbulb4 yes. however on most dolls it only does things like face paint or leggings/undershirts
Are you telling me that there were broken RIBS because of a flying toy?! What were they made of friggin diamond, and was it just spinning as fast as a jet engine?!
Are these things made out of steel?!
I wanna know what the heck kids were doing with flying toys to get broken ribs
The face part makes sense, but ribs? Funky.
Ikr- honestly when he brought those up I thought it was just going to be that girls were getting their hair caught in it, I was not expecting what I heard-
kids are too innovative when it comes to finding ways of hurting themselves with the most random objects istg.
@@Blazdragon34 I know you were probably joking but they're just foam and plastic. I had some old ones my mom gave me when i was little. They could be newer versions but I'm pretty sure they used to be my moms so who knows.
Im guessing the broken ribs had to be loosely associated because they'd have to be light in order to fly.
It's funny when parents get scared when a toy is "swearing" lol
You forgot about one of the best of all. The Earring Magic Ken doll, by Mattel. It continues to be the best selling Ken doll ever made by Mattel, and it was only sold for a total of six weeks. Mattel was trying to base the Ken doll off of people at clubs at the time. Issue was, they were at a very different genre of clubs. Turns out, they based the Ken doll off of gay fashion trends at the time! What really interested people was Ken’s necklace. His necklace was a silver ring. If you do a bit of research, you’ll find that gay fashion at the time largely had people using their uhhh, “ rings “ as fashion statements. These would show their preference in romantic partners. Mattel realized this too late, and quickly tried to take it off shelves. They were too late, and the damage was done. Funny as hell man. I need one of these dolls.
the funniest part of earring magic ken, in my opinion, is that there was supposed to be a matching earring magic barbie, but she never happened, making him EVEN GAYER
@@gemwolfz2860 YEAH MAN. After recalling the Ken’s, they were like, “Oh, if we make another one of these earring dolls then people will have the same reaction.”. They really messed up, and the lack of date for Ken just proved the point of Ken’s sexuality.
Ken is a bisexual king and I am absolutely here for it
@Dog 🐕 EVEN BETTER
Oh Mattel did the boy dirty
The pokeball incident is also why toys with capsule pods around them or things like plastic Easter Eggs have holes drilled into each half, so they can be removed without suffocating a child.
I think the Burger King toy is the guardians fault mostly. Why give a infant a toy meant for older kids with small parts
@@gamingpeople7826 Exactly. Like, on one hand, you kind of assume that toys should be safe to a degree, but on the other hand, a parent/guardian should know to anticipate that a child will likely do something dangerous with an item, and you either need to explain to them in advance that they shouldn't, or simply keep the item away from them until they are mature enough to have it.
@@raelogan Yall assume the parent gave their toddlers the toy and not like an older sibling who then left it in reach of the smaller kid.
@@thepinkestpigglet7529 It still sounds pretty careless to let a baby only a few months old alone with a reckless child
The parents should take atleast a LITTLE responsibility instead of demanding tons of cash from a company that already had disclaimers on their toys regarding younger kids (I had the burger king toys and they had the little "not for kids under___ disclaimer" slip with it)
It's just a bit unfair to blame them for the incident
Why would parents even give young children toys like that
Not sure if someone answered this; but with the easy bake oven recall the issue was with the part where you insert the food into being too big; which allowed kids to stick their hands inside and thus get burned. Pretty sure this wasn’t really an issue with other models since they had a smaller opening.
Entry could also be referring to the initial discontinuation of the toy line due to the light bulb heating element being deemed unsafe, but probably not.
It was because of the opening being too big. The issue was fixed They still make easy bake just no longer with a bulb it uses electric heating element since 2011. I looked up quite a bit about it because my 10yr old sister is getting one for Christmas and I had heard of this recall but didn’t know it was old
@@IloveJesusandPillows ah so thats why most easy bake oven have long lips at the points of entry and exit
Kids are so stupid man lmao
@@ShockingPikachu um? No? Most of the time they're just toddlers that are too young and didn't know better. That's not their fault
Each generation since it was introduced has had a safety recall of one type or another. The one in the 80's tended to catch fire, for instance and the one in the nineties got hot enough to cause burns on the outside.
If I ever have kids, they're getting a toaster oven. Those are much safer.
People that say that its a "secret hidden detail” on the LOL surprise dolls, but it states directly on the ball to put it in cold water. Its been a thing for 5 years, why are people complaining now?
I was just saying this! It says clear on the package and parents were saying it was a shock and surprise. Not to mention not all the dolls color change. Half that do it's simple like the hair or a body suit which looks like a swim wear.
When my sister was younger, she had LoL dolls. She had a boy one, not bad right? Except the boy had “the bits”. She was so confused when she tried to change his clothing.

"[Midge] was taken off shelves, these days she's become a collector's item--"
Are you kidding me? I HAD a Midge doll, I dunno the kind of condition she's in cuz as a kid the longevity of Barbies is meaningless, but you're telling me, if I had kept her perfect, I could be making actual money rn? Damn
Me too. I'm pissed about it bc she was in GREAT condition but my mom made me give all my barbie dolls away.
Doll collectors don't really actually target her specifically unless they're into stranger releases, rare releases, or are attempting to collect *all* released barbies. Most just collect things that are nostalgic or pretty to the collector (which may include midge in some cases)
If you still had her, I'm pretty sure she would go for *around* $90. She honestly is only that much because of her recalling. She wouldn't actually be worth anything if it wasn't for her controversy unless she came with a movie.
Anyway, this whole thing was useless because you don't even have her and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be burned at the stake by the barbie community for understating her value or something😭
I had her aswell! My favourite doll every because of her “floppy arms” you know, the articulation. Plus she looked just like my auntie who was pregnant at the time I got the doll
@@Eepop_stuffs it's like the Oreo Barbie. There was a white Barbie and a black Barbie both themed around Oreos as a cross-promotion for the brand. However the black Barbie is far more valuable due to controversy causing her to be removed from store shelves ("Oreo" being a derogatory term for a black person who is half white, one who acts white).
Alternatively, popularity increases value. There were Barbies made for the cast of the show Victorious, and due to Ariana Grande being so famous now, the Cat Barbies are extremely expensive, despite having a full run on the shelves like the other characters.
Professional collecting of toys like Barbies is such an odd thing due to perceived rarity of items or the kind of value they have in retrospect. What's valuable today could be worth less tomorrow and vice versa. And what do they plan on doing with said toys anyway if they're just gonna put them in a shelf and never interact with them? Maybe get them insured for cash in case they get stolen or destroyed, but I like being able to enjoy my time with a toy before shelving it for memory sake. That's just me though.
I do still have Midge, just in a far from perfect condition. Even if she was in box-perfect condition, I dont know if I could sell her regardless of the value, cuz she is very nostalgic for me.
The Midge Preg Doll was in Robot Chicken’s sketch The Island of Recalled Toys, and it was hilarious!
That skit makes me laugh every time!
Along with the Easy Bake Oven, Sky Dancers, the Tarzan action figure, and the Buzz Lightyear cup.
I had a Sky Dancers toy and still have her to this day. She never hurt me or anything, and their wings are made of foam so I'm at a loss on how someone could break their ribs or cut themselves on foam
I think older models were made with hard plastic and the ones that came out later probably early 2000s were made with foam, idk I could very much be wrong
@@thecrazisetgirl1 They always had foam wings
I have mine still too. The only thing I can think of with the broken ribs claim, maybe when they pulled the string hard they accidentally punched/elbow themselves in the rib?
I don’t know how many claims there were of broken ribs, but if it was only one and it just happened to be the most extreme injury it’s likely the kid could’ve gotten it before taking legal action in an unrelated incident. The parents would have just claimed the toy caused it to get a better chance in court.
I have seen some other comments saying that maybe a kid fell on top of them and the blades slashed into them, but I think those were either a foam or a VERY thin plastic so that doesn’t seem very likely.
@@Catenfur That seems likely, punching themselves, though I still wouldn't know how they'd cut themselves
not mentioned toy, it was recalled for a choking hazard but the barbie and tanner play set had a dog that could poop little pellets, but the pellets for the dog poop also acted as the dog treats. i had it as a kid and was surprised to see it wasnt recalled for trying to feed dogs shit lmao
I think I have this one! Didn't it have fuzz on it?
I had one too! They were recalled because the pellets were magnetic so if a child ate more than one they could rip through intestines and kill the kid
I had that one! Loved that toy, haha
I had that when I was around 4 haha, I’m honestly not sure why kids would eat the pellets?? I never had the urge to.

I remember both me and my younger brother had skydancers as a kid, a moon themed fairy and a flower themed fairy. Our grandparents got them for us, and they must've not heard of the recal because we had them for years.
I definitely remember getting hit in the face with its wings, though thankfully I just got a bruise and not broken bones
I still have mine somewhere and no injuries, but I could imagine hair getting caught in the mechanism
I used to have a purple sky dancer (not sure what specific one, just knew it was purple), and it CONSTANTLY got stuck in my hair and eventually my mom just took it away lol.
I saw one before but the dumbass shot it to the roof its been a decade now
I had one on a dolphin and another that rode on a swan
Can confirm the whole thing about the LOL dolls. My baby sister is obsessed. Those dolls are meant to portray toddlers btw. They also can spit, cry, and most concerning“pee”. They basically work like rubber ducks where they soak up water and spew it out. All of hers were purchased at target and they make me hella uncomfortable
Those are normal bodily functions? Are we really sexualizing that now?
@@girlscanbedrummers5449 It would be fine if it was like those baby alive dolls that wore normal baby clothes and not outfits inspired by lingerie. Again it’s not going to turn your kid into a deviant or whatnot, but it really makes one question the intent of the adults who designed them.

I think there was some controversy around the 80s when the original transformers figures came into american stores. The reason why is because the original megatron toy alt mode is based on a real gun, the walther p38k. So parents had concerns about the toy because they would have mistaken it as a real gun. It's kinda interesting to see why future megatron toys don't transform into a gun
I remember hearing this in the basics on megatron video
Given the precedents, it makes sense.
Horrible implications, but many countries have rules against removing the "not a real gun" markers from toys, so, understeandable
Apparently there were people who were actually robbed by people with Megatron in gun form

I remember playing with lawn darts as a kid. although it was the early 2000s, we got a hold of them because an old friend of my dad had them stashed away in his garage and gave them to us. not knowing that they could be really dangerous for young children. i remember when my brother was playing with them on a sandlot and got hit in the head with one. it was sticking out of his head and there was a lot of blood. it’s a very vivid and upsetting memory to think about but he’s okay.
trust me, i work at walmart, the LOL Dolls are not scrapped. just overpriced
as for the purple teletubby, i had one, those things are cursed
one of my younger relatives had pregnant Midge doll back in the day. I was a couple of years older than her, but we both thought that this idea of pregnant barbie doll was real cool. Not one we thought that she's a teenager who's pregnant. Not one time an idea that "wow, being pregnant is cool because doll does it" crossed your minds. Come on now, US. Kids aren't that stupid. Girls like to roleplay mothers-daughters, and me and my cousin were even playing with stuffed toys as pregnant bellies when we were very young. Even as a kid, I didn't understand what was so controversial about the pregnant barbie doll. And honestly in hindsight it was all a big overreacting, it seems.
Granted, it wasn't in America, it was in Russia. And the dolls weren't recalled there. I saw them in toy stores for many years after that.
I feel like a good portion of these doll related controversies is just adults projecting their own weird insecurities onto dolls, as opposed to the dolls themselves.
Just look at the many controversies involving barbie, Bratz and other popular dolls. While some criticisms of these dolls do have some valid merit to them, like the concerns over the lack of body diversity/non-skinny body representation in some doll lines, a lot of arguments and comments from the anti-Barbie or anti-Bratz crowd have a rather misoginistic and slut-shame-y undercurrent to them. I.e. all the times some adults online called barbie a “slut” or said she looked ‘like a hooker” over the fact she... wore eyeshadow or wore a mildly suggestive outfit or something idk.
Plus the whole teenage pregnancy encouragement allegations of the pregnant Midge doll. Which is stupid anyway since I’m pretty sure most barbie characters aside from Skipper are supposed to be in their early 20’s. (Corse, I haven’t read up on my Barbie lore in a while so don’t quote me on that last bit lol)
Edit: I looked it up on the Barbie wiki and most of the characters are in their late teens, with Barbie herself being a legal adult at 19 years old. While Midge is around the same age as Barbie in most modern incarnations of the line, Midge was said to be older then Barbie (I think her early/mid twenties) during the time the Pregnant Midge doll was released.
@@Brianna-eo8nu I think Barbie herself is supposed to be a teenager, but Midge is in her early 20s
@@Brianna-eo8nu honestly, I definitely believe that. As a kid I loved Monster High dolls but they were very "controversial" since they were monsters and their body shape was almost anorectic..
But not once as a kid I thought of it that way. I liked them because they were much more diverse and colourful, they had much more movable joints than most toys (and many parts could be easily changed between different dolls!), they were actually very interesting as even a "monster" could be kind and ambitious
Granted, I had body image issues but they arised because of my peers who called me ugly and fat (I was not), those dolls actually were an escape where I could feel beautiful roleplaying as vampire..
They intentionally made midge look like an adult. Her features scream that she's in her 20's.
I think Po said "bouncy bouncy"
Tinky Winky clearly said "again again"
As a long time L.O.L. Surprise! Collector the color change thing has never bean a secret. Its been there since season one and every season after that. And MGA was never exactly sudle about it, as it was heavily featured in adds, marketing, youtube shorts, unboxings, checklist, and even the package the dolls come in. It boggles my mind parents are so neglective to not even look at the toy they just handed there kid and read the box it came in. I never really thought much of it since the dolls aren't meant for actual toddlers, with all those small pieces. Though, I know some parents do give em to there very small children (haven't a clue why) I think some of the outfits just look so skimpy because they have to be painted straight on the body's instead of molded, and most of what some parents would describe as "underwear" are just bathing suits. That being said, take a look at the Cancer Star sign Doll, "Claws". That doll dosn't even have a color change, its straight up painted on.
I'm a collector as well! (Though it's because I have the autism ;-;)

11:02 I remember wanting aqua pets more than any other toy on the face of the earth when I was five and six years old. I remember that I got one for a birthday and then another one much later, probably after a lot of begging. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I realised how wrong they look.
A kid isn't going to think that though and it's not inherently dirty at all, it's just that 'adults' are really immature and have dirty minds.
Hey, I used to have that pregnant barbie! The thing is, that whole line is based around the idea of them being a family so you had the pregnant mom, the dad, the older kids and the baby, plus a pregnant dog. I guess the problem here was that they all sold separately so maybe some would assume she was a teenager

It’s just funny to see something that I remember so fondly loving on like a banned toy list. I mean I played with it and I ain’t pregnant so I mean it was kinda a very stupid reason to pull it off shelves.
I actually have the pregnant Barbie. My mom used it to teach me about childbirth when I was 2.

Another big part of this controversy had to do with the MAP(minor attracted person) movement that was very prominate on twitter at the time. Some people thought that members of this gross community made the toy (due to the color pallet and the gross placement and noises of the button. )
"MAP"
Just call them what they are: disgusting, pedophilic sickos.
But yeah I heard of that as well, wouldn't be surprised if a pedophile spearheaded the making of it, or had something to do with it. The claim was that the button and noise were a nod to a scene in the movie where she apparently sits down hard and makes a noise? I never saw it but I don't believe that for a milisecond. One forgettable second in a movie implemented into a toy? Nobody will buy that.
@@midnitethedsixl4601 We cant, stupid platforms like youtube or twitter will censor us for calling them that, so using MAP its not because we dont want to use the actual words, its because we are being censored

Po is saying "fai ti, fai ti" as the teletubbies talk gibberish in the show. I actually have one of these from last christmas.
The thing with half of these bans is that it's just results of poor parenting. If your toddler suffocates on a Pokeball that barely fits in their mouth, meaning they have to take some time to put it in there, you should have been able to stop them if you were being a good parent and watching them. Also, why on earth would you give a toddler a toy not meant for them? That's on the parents, not Burger King.
omg i had the roller skating barbie at 12:30 ! i would sit under my blanket at night and make the skates spark. i instantly knew why it was on the list hahaha
I remember the Pokemon toys fondly. Any time my mom asked us where we wanted to go out to eat, my sister and I said Burger King in the hopes of getting a new Pokemon. I was pretty pissed off when they recalled them.
Also might I add, my little cousin got lol doll last Christmas and she got a boy one.
And I know what you might be thinking “OK how is that so wrong?” The dolls can do bodily functions like spitting and crying, but also peeing and the reason why I made it so specific on why it’s a boy..the doll had a little baby Wiener ._.

That face definitely knows what hell looks like. The scars I had from my brother’s 2 year long unhealthy Shrek addiction is nothing compared to such... Terror.
I remember seeing Sky Dancers branded toys in places like Toys-R-Us during my childhood…
Did they have a rerelease in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s or something?
I feel like they had to- I had one when I was at least 5 in 2005, but I can't find my specific one online- it looked like the moon ones but had a more solid base and a moon on the end of the pullcord
Poe sounds like he's saying daddy daddy
I heard fanny ,daddy, and Canada
I heard faba faba, I have no idea what y'all are on
The LOL dolls are supposed to be children but more often than not when you dunk them in water they always have fishnet stockings and I think one had a tramp stamp tattoo? I don't quite remember but LOL dolls are strange and a little predatory..
Everyone: talking about the pokeball commercial.
Me: wait, po is a girl?!?
I believe Po and Lala are female yes
@@FoxAkimbo I remember watching that show as a kid and I did not even realize that.
@@FoxAkimbo yes Laa-Laa and Po are females
(Did you know that Teletubbies are tall AF!!??)
*unzipping sound*
@@professionalcyberbully6410 ayo
I had a Sky Dancer. Believe it or not they DID come with instructions that at the top said quite clearly "Aim away from you, not at you" but it seems not many people listened. ^^;
I had the swearing teletubbies! As a kid the voices went riiiiight over my head, so I was surprised to hear about the plushies when I got older!
i actually have around 3 lol dolls from when i was 10-111, and yeah, those things are terrible. there are bigger models called "lol omg" dolls, and the body shape...... they made it so curvy? its very weird
My sister got one as a birthday present and it was one of the bigger models when I was playing with her I grabbed the doll and I was like "why is she so thicc?"
You were 111?
@@No1aonjupiter. Lmfaoooo
the proportions arent that weird the omg dolls r meant to be adults lmao
Why is that a bad thing? Isn’t having dolls with different bodies good?
Barbie herself was ripped off by a German doll called Bild Lilli doll. That doll was that I think was made for adults as a sexualized gag gift based off a sexualized comic strip character. Honestly it irks me (I was a boy who got dolls, sue me if that annoys you) that Bratz (my parents were pretty open minded and let ke have any doll I wanted) was so over sexualized, wearing inappropriate outfits, while Barbie wasn’t being hit my that, even though My Scene and some other dolls they have had were wearing similar-ish things. Let alone Barbie has unrealistic body portions at the time (2015 onward has been the better bodies in Barbie history), while Bratz, being cartoony, wasn’t that unrealistic.
I think people shouldn’t judge on looks/dress, but by message (and if the way their clothing is expressed inappropriate).
Actually, Barbie isn't a rip-off of Lilli, Barbie IS Lilli, well, or at least her successor. Bild Lillie was a character from an adult comic that was then made into a doll. Matel liked the doll and bought the rights to her. That's how Barbie came to be.
did she just call herself Barbie like that outdated fetish doll with a zillion lame ass occupations?
Your comment is full of misinformation. Bild Lilli is a character from a German comic that was clearly aimed at adults with its sexual gags. The rights to the character were eventually sold to Mattel, transforming her into Barbie. Please do some research on toy history before writing these kinds of comments again.
@@salteeth why do y'all always hate on Barbie? Plus her body looks the it does because no one is gonna try putting a pair of tights over 3 layers of flab and muffin top much less on a peice of plastic. When you wear a dress or high waist pants does your stomach stay looking like a beer gut? I didn't think so. And what's wrong with her occupations? At least she's not telling girls they should only be secretaries and flight attendants and that they should look like her. Leave her alone.
@@girlscanbedrummers5449 I'm pretty sure that line wasn't a dig at barbie but a reference from a show, (Panty and Stocking I'm pretty sure.)
The L.O.L doll thing is because they are meant as a bath toy. The can change in warm water too, the outfits are supposed to be bathing suits or outfits that are worn by popular people of things.
I heard the Po doll said. “Para Para” or “Patty Patty”
I heard Tinky Winky said. “Again again.”
I had something similar to the Dora toy, instead it had a spongebob theme, it looked the same in uh “shape”
The lol doll controversy is very much real and you are misunderstanding it. The color change feature is not the clothing itself rather the underwear and then it comes with clothing on top of it. The problem that people specifically “wasp mothers” have with the dolls themselves is that they are anatomically “correct” or at least were at one point because of the peeing feature of the doll it had a little nub that was supposed to represent genitals! The color change in ice feature was actually never really a big issue because they’re not suggestive like I’m assuming you read they are. It’s just like you dip it in cold water and like a bow tie and striped bathing suit appear.
ok boomer
Them being anatomically correct is not the problem so much as the fact that they are supposed to be toddlers.
I remember when I was in preschool in late 90's/early 2000's in Poland we have a lot of dolls with modeled genitals, male and female versions, specifically for the pee feature, it was normal back then. Just shows how world changes.
ok in all seriousness, my town wanted the lol dolls banned cause some 40 yr old men would buy then and the parents didn't want there kids to become a slut. yeah our town walmart stopped selling the lol dolls.
i'll never understand dolls that have anatomical functions like peeing and pooping, its just weird
4:13 I was stunned to see this commercial again. I totally forgot how many times I saw it has a kid
Holy shit I think I still have one of those old pokeballs, I had no idea they were ever recalled…
Yea, me too, me and my mom as we went through stuff found some old BK PokeBall halves.
Ah, sky dancers. I'm not sure if it was the same brand as it but I remember there being a miraculous ladybug toy similar to it. Heh, I stayed far, far away from it because I thought it would land on me lol
You thought ladybug was gonna land on you... lol
They had a miraculous ladybug one?? I want one 😂
same, i got a tinkerbell one and we'd only play it outside the house lmao
yeah, on top of that hopefully she won’t miraculously fly into the fireplace too.
i remember having an easy bake oven as a kid. i dont remember if i ever got hurt, but i remember that it didnt really get hot enough to fully bake anything, but that also might have been because i was too impatient. i think we got rid of it because of what my folks heard about the recall and simply because i didnt really use it that often
Why are there so many people that think that easy bake oven are supposed to "not get hot enough to hurt anyone"?
It's an OVEN meant to BACK food that you're supposed to EAT. If they didn't get hot enough to to hurt you they they couldn't get hot enough to BAKE FOOD.
Tbh the whole choking on a toy is more of a parental fault versus a toy brand’s fault. Also considering the time, why would parents be buying them toys based on games that toddlers and infants can’t even play yet (at the time)?
I used to like the LOL dolls. The dolls are not meant to just stand naked in the tights. They are supposed to be an add on to the outfit they wear. Nevertheless, I can understand why some people find the tights being revealed from water questionable. I don't care about the toddler aged ones anymore as much as I do the OMG and BTW dolls from LOL which are dolls of teenagers and pre-teens.
MGA Entertainment isn't a perfect toy manufacturer. There are things I don't like that they have done in the past (they used to donate to Autism Speaks (which is more of a hate group than a charity when you look into it) and the CEO chastised a woman after she addressed that she thought they made an LOL doll of her likeliness without her permission (note this woman appeared on a UA-cam video from the official LOL channel before the doll was made and the doll looked far too much like her)). However, it sucks that the main shade it gets is fundies griping about how Bratz dolls and Lalaloopsy dolls look awful and whatever.
@@rainbowglider I really don't know. I cannot find any reference to them on their website or a page that shows all the other companies and charities (I use that term loosely because calling A$ a charity is like calling a cement factory a daycare center). I very much hope they don't still support them.
@BrandinCool msp He really is. Many fans of MGA products don't like him.
Lalaloopsy was my childhood
@@HackieP I like Lalaloopsy a lot, too. Even though they are geared more towards younger kids, I was really into them in my late high school years. I don't know. There is just something about them that makes them intriguing.
Woah, I remember having the Po Teletubby toy! I think we've given it away by now, but the sound gave me so much nostalgia!
I had/might still have that too (not sure) I always thought it was either saying “Daddy Daddy Daddy” or “fatty fatty fatty” and “bad bad bad”. But neither my daddy or I is exactly skinny so…
My sister had an easy bake oven, we used it once. After that, we just kinda threw it out.
:(
11:01 Oh damn, it's Mike Mozart, the guy who had semi-promised to show the radioactive toy but is too terrified of the gieger counter going "beep" to make a video about! It's been many years and I haven't forgotten.
You should call this video
The TOYSBERG.
2:29 i think its being broad on purpose, becuase from what ive HEARD ( heard ONLY, i have no source) they are pretty dangerous ( like collapsing like you said, or the bouncy fabric breaking) and they are being recalled and trying to get rid of them.
Also being too enthusiastic and having the trampoline curb one's enthusiasm. [Hears Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song starting up in the background]
You can also get your leg trapped inbetween the springs that hold the fabric. I've heard people breaking their legs that way.
Trampolines are athletic equipment in all but name, and depending on a sleuth of factors, most being condensed in insufficent maintenance, a lot of different things may go wrong, all ending in high probability of people getting hurt
Whenever a model comes out that screws up safeties in name of a new design, there's a recall
Mike Mozart really takes me back.
3:44 Yet an easy bake oven can bake a small cake? They can get really hot, their main selling point is that they’re safer than a regular oven because they use a light bulb as a heat source. Have you ever touched a lit light bulb?
Lol dolls have some cool designs and diversity but they're so sexualized it's such a shame
The worst is that they are supposed to be children.
13:33 only a few of the dolls do that (its like 3 or 4) and those are the real dolls but, above that the whole way they're designed kinda rubs me the wrong way everything from the sheer amount of plastic packaging they use to the way the dolls are built and dressed. its all just very weird
Holy shit im so surprised the accidentally REALLY gay ken doll wasnt brought up, because its one of the funniest toy controversies i have EVER heard of. Please. Look it up if you dont know about it, it's funny as hell
The best selling doll that Never existed
At least according to Mattel
I was sure the tinkywinky was gonna be problematic cause of that salute it was doing. That and the lol doll turning black in water.
i had an easy bake oven and still do, it never gotten to hot (it was a newer version) i stopped playing with it because i ran out of things to bake, kinda ironic cause i hate to cook now haha
The problem wasn't the temperature, the problem was that a few models had enough space to fit the kid fingers inside, and some models had a "safety panel" that locks up when you try to pull out.
Later models still reduced the temperature the lamp reached, but it was more about materials usee
Here in Belize years ago in my shop we sold a bootleg Barbie Pregnant Doll that was under a different name and of lower quality
Some years back my mom had unknowingly bought the swearing po doll off eBay for our dog who got really attached to my old Teletubbies but we had lost those ones while moving. The shock we had the first time our dog was able to activate the voice box lmao
11:31 I had a doll similar to this, but I always thought of her as an adult.
Oh, the lawn darts, I remember that controversy!
They even made a segment based on it in 1000 Ways To Die.
That ol' chestnut
no that kid was throwing lawn darts at the freaking stuffed animal my guy is going to turn into Jeffrey Dahmer when he gets older probably already is
@@Yunossbm I believe the video was meant to be a deterrent from playing with lawn darts, I just cut around it so it made those kids look evil lol
@@FoxAkimbo I didn’t think you were actually going to respond to me holy I actually really enjoy your videos though your iceberg videos are pretty entertaining
What I heard the purple teletubbie say was "My name is Jeff," no seriously.
I think the reason why talking dolls are the subject to so much controversy is because, for instance, the reason why tinky winky can say “again again” in the Teletubbies show with nobody assuming tinky winky possesses firearms is because the show is, surprisingly, less repetitive than a talking doll. The talking doll only has a few voicelines to cycle through and the parents begin to notice patterns that aren’t really there and assume the dolls are saying something inappropriate. The poor audio fidelity of the doll’s speaker also probably doesn’t help.
Don’t forget the eating cabbage patch doll. That one was horrible, a girl got her hair stuck in it and she had to get it chopped off. It was so scary. It wasn’t battery operated and there was no way to turn it off, it’d start eating as soon as something was put in and it had very sharp blades on the inside of the mouth. This led to many horrible injuries.
Dude thank you, really good job! So many high quality uploads within short time! Keep it up, ur gonna blow up soon I feel it
Thank you so much bro! I've been working on this all day, so it's great to hear the positive support
@@FoxAkimbo no problem, just be sure to dont work urself to death for us lmao
holy crap @11:07 my childhood unlocked there. I love watching his videos as a kid.
(8:35) I feel like Po is saying "Huggy huggy" or "Patty patty".
"A kid is gay." from Tincky Winky.
please make a part 2 , this video was amazing
I made a similar video very recently
Sweet! I used to watch videos about recalled/banned toys when I was little! Hope to see some new ones I never heard of!
Did you then? Did you see any new ones?
@@FoxAkimbo Mostly the LOL ones and that Trolls one. Good to see that people still fail to know what is a good or bad idea.
I thought Tinky Winky was saying I’m gay I’m gay, which would make Po even worse
What's funny is that my best friend's little siblings had both the "swearing" Minion toy and the "swearing" Teletubby
All I can think of with that roller skate Barbie is that bit from Bill Engval about it, with the news anchor asking “what if Barbie skated through a pool of gasoline?!”
I see that TV "colleagues" being idiotic for the sake of tv drama is a constant since before the introdution of color tv.
Is wholesome, in a twisted sort of way...
