Hi! Just to let you know, this link you attached to comment doesn’t work because the http is double typed. Takes you to a page that says “Sorry, we couldn’t find that page”. Link in description is perf though
It’s not the content the internet expected, but it’s certainly the content the internet needs. I didn’t realise how much I needed a petty rant from D’Angelo until I clicked on this vid!
Well now I desperately need to hear D’Angelo’s take on Sharkboy’s poor excuse for a lullaby, Lavagirl’s CGI puddle, and, of course, “HE RUINED MY DREAM JOURNAL!!!!!!!”
The first things I think of when I remember that movie exists is the meme of the bully kid going "TASK MANAGER KILL HIM" and the bit where Mr electric goes " for every person who dreams up the electric lightbulb, there's one who dreams up the ATOM BOMB" 😂😂😂
This comment scared me. I was like did someone hack my account because I never commented on this video before and then I saw we just had the same PFP 😂
I have a story. Saw Spy Kids in theatres with my family when I was 7. By pure coincidence, my mom was wearing the exact same dress that day as their mom wears in the movie. For the rest of the night, my mom was insisting she's a spy, "typing" on her makeup pallette, etc. and I didn't know whether to believe her or not lol.
Honestly, the reason why the first Spy Kids movie was so good was because of how utterly unhinged the plotline was. It was absolutely a horror movie made for a kid audience. It came from such a brilliant time in pop culture.
as a wheelchair user who can also walk, its a *little* correct to say that it requires more arm strength and learning to use a manual wheelchair than expected. but ALSO as a former martial artist, i dont think it would give a tactical advantage (especially depending on the location of his SCI, since its assumed to be an SCI) aside from the fact that we're at crotch punching height. That being said, the writing of peepaw is really not bad, especially for the time. especially in the first one. like i appreciate the fact that even though he has the "ooh magic transforming wheelchair", a lot of the spy stuff is actually still accessible just with his wheels, so his wheelchair is another spy gadget rather than a way to bypass actual accessibility and inclusion. its genuinely not too bad, and from what i remember the movie also was never like "woe he will do anything to be on his feet again and its so sad that he has to be in a wheelchair again woe😔😔😔 this man's autonomy is a plot device to show how sad being disabled is 😢". its far from perfect, but the fact that it mostly displays disability in a neutral light is so rare for current stories, let alone stories in the early 2000's.
Honestly the fact that he has a magic transforming jet-powered wheelchair is kind of made normal by the fact that all the other characters have magic transforming jet-powered everything as well. It makes sense for it to be that way because every other item of clothing or accessory these people own is jam packed with tech, it'd be kinda weird if the chair wasn't like that.
The “Floop is a madman help us save us” scene was literally terrifying as a kid. It still gives me chills tbh. Spy Kids is a horror movie and I’m glad we’re finally starting to have that conversation
I totally feel that too, but After Juni confronts him in the dream room my fears melted away, I loved that he eventually turned and was on their side in taking down the real bad guy (minion)
going from sending the commentary community into tizzy and making them panic into stating they don’t like cody ko to doing a spy kids breakdowns is duality of man and true range
How quickly people seem to forget D’Angelo played a crucial role in bringing Shane Dawson off his pedestal also years ago. Then his next videos would other passion projects.
I watched the original Spy Kids so much as a kid that the memory of being a small child thinking that the microwave thing in the safe house that magically generated a full McDonalds meal was the coolest thing ever and that I desperately wanted one is forever ingrained in my brain.
STAWP that’s always the first thing I think of 😂 I wish they didn’t try to over the technology, because as a kid thumb thumbs and a magic microwaves were enough
I was 19 in 2001. The reason the Y2K bug didn’t cause problems was because experts spent tens of thousands of hours patching all of the government and financial and other essential systems that would have been affected. The news media blew it out of proportion, and then proceeded to act like there was never anything to worry about. It’s like the people say that it was unnecessary to ban CFCs because the holes in the ozone layer mended themselves - they were only able to do that because we banned CFCs.
Thank you, whenever Y2K comes up, it is good to mention that it was a problem, overblown by the media, but also would've been really bad if a loooot of work hadn't been done. It wasn't like the crowdstrike bug, to my understanding. Although similar issue of many systems going down. I'd suggest people look into the Y2K response, it's actually very interesting. Basically early programming didn't account for the future in actual code. But programmers of the past knew changes would have to be made to account for the year 2000. They just expected systems to be correctly updated over time... not a hectic response right before the "due date". Imo it's a good story of human foresight, but also laziness and short term greed (by ppl who owned systems and shouldve updated, not the coders).. eventually requiring huge cost to solve a problem at the 11th hour.
I didn’t remember the Y2K hysteria as a kid because my family was focused on getting all kinds of 01-01-00 merchandise because of my dad‘s New Year’s birthday. yes, he was born on New Year’s Day.
I was recently thinking how it would have been cool to actually be excited about the turn of the millennium. But all I could do was worry about the world ending. I might have just appreciated being alive for a transition between millennia, if the adults around me hadn't been freaking out so hard about planes falling out of the sky and shit.
I remember when I was like 10 and went to see spy kids 3D in theaters and when it was over I took off my glasses and was like wtf my brain hurts and also I'm gonna puke and then I watched a fully grown dad puke his entire x large Baja blast that he'd snuck into the theater all down the middle aisle of the theater and then clumsily grab his children to leave the scene of the crime when his youngest child who was probably like 4 slipped in his own dads vomit and fell and started balling and refused to get up. it was such a scene that my oncoming migraine just evaporated and I appreciate them for that. true heroes.
Speaking as a 2001 baby, "What could be more fun than watching something you love go to complete and utter hell" is our generation's BIRTHRIGHT when it comes to media
so glad d’angelo now knows the pain of searching for disney adventures magazines as someone who is obsessed with darkwing duck and has been trying to track all the comics down
As a Latina, Spy Kids is a MANDATORY watch. 1 & 2 are EXCELLENT and campy and I adore the silly style. Loved these movies as a kid. They're so unserious and kid centered. Every kid I knew wanted to be a spy kid! We all wanted unos zapatos como esos!!!!☄️👟
The fact that we read The Island of Dr Moreau in my English literature course at uni and my first thought was „wait, that’s what happened in Spy Kids 2“ will forever remain iconic to me.
Fun fact about why Y2K was never a big deal: we only averted disaster because a bunch of really smart people spent a lot of time and energy putting in safeguards and essentially fixing the problem before it happened. If we had ignored it, it would have actually been really bad.
super on point, I work for a finance firm and my boss has been with them 30 years, and he loves telling the story of the y2k change and how IT stayed up all day all night testing non stop to make sure all the framework and client accounts were going to be safe. It went something like CEO calls 15 before, guys say they'll find out in 15 minutes, new year flips, nothing happens, CEO calls back, the guys are clinking glasses of -forbidden drinks- and everything's fine!
Frrr my mom’s ex husband was a programmer and spent a lot of time trying to fix everything before y2k. It was really rough on both of them and partially caused their divorce
This! I'm constantly having the same discussion with my parents because "nothing happened so there was nothing to worry about" when actually nothing happened because so many people worked very hard to make sure nothing happened!!
As a former Spykids fan who saw all the movies in theaters, collected the happy meal toys, had VHS tapes for all the movies (3D's had a blue top on it!) and with a 21 year old WORKING Gameboy SP, this is one of my favorite youtube videos ever. So much nostalgia! And you really brought back the childhood wonder the films gave me way back when. Thank you!
The best thing about these movies is how Robert Rodriguez made them - as cheaply as possible, using as many practical effects as possible, with all his pals and his kids.
@@Gxmwpmy personal priority as a subscriber is that D’Angelo stays mentally well. If he uploads every day or once a decade, I’ll be grateful for whatever he provides as long as he’s keeping himself well. Our need and desire for content isn’t greater than D’Angelo’s wellbeing. 💗 I also adore that after the heaviness and importance of the last video that was so well done and set the internet on fire, we get an hour and a half of lighthearted pettiness to soothe our wounds. 😅
The backwards SOS help message/audio and the character designs of the prisoner agents made my skin CRAWL as a kid. Watching this video, that hasn't changed. Absolutely a horror film for kids.
D’Angelo, this was a breath of fresh air. I love your normal content so much, but I keep coming back to this video (already!!). Scrolling through UA-cam nowadays is just doom and gloom through an ironic lens (at least my fyp). Trying to find something to let my brain cool down and calm my nervous system down before getting ready to turn in for the night has been impossible lately. But this is lovely. Thank you:)
I vividly remember Spy Kids 3 being my first 3D experience. At one point some stuff floats towards you and a kid stretched his hand out to reach for it. Simpler times.
Lol this reminds me. My first 3-D experience was actually an accident, it was meant to be the SpongeBob Movie but my grandma got confused and bought us tickets to a whale watching documentary. We probably watched an hour of whales in 4-D with water and wind spraying at us like it’s the ocean 😂😂
Y2K was a valid concern actually, but because people knew it was a potential issue they worked ahead of it so when the year 2000 hit it was smooth sailing
i ended up looking into it because of this comment and the “documented errors” section of the wikipedia page has a lot of examples of glitches that *did* occur, which gives good perspective on how bad it would have been if people didn’t put in so much work to fix it in advance. (my favorite is that hong kong police breathalyzers stopped working… at midnight on new years, arguably the drunkest night of the year lol)
@@derangedone13 i had also considered making this same comment. Then i heard the rest of what he was saying, realized he was joking, and have been shocked by just how much of this comment section seems to think that D’Angelo Wallace absolutely must learn the same information about Y2K from 20,000 different people just because he wanted to include a joke about the recent windows debacle.
Um no, I LIVED for musical numbers at the ends of movies. This and Velma’s “Can’t Take My Eyes off of You” at the end of Scooby Doo were my church camera
Why am I not seeing anybody talk about the FOURTH SPY KIDS MOVIE, where they basically were like “hey remember this franchise that we ruined, let’s ruin it even more to try and make a quick buck off of nostalgia”
fr its so disappointing to see this guy make an hour and a half video about a franchise he claims to an expert on where he sweeps the true heinous parts of the franchise under the rug. Everyone knows about spykids 3, talk about 4 and the netflix series smhh
the whole "the guy" thing from the third movie just kept reminding me of "you are not the guy, you will never be the guy, i had a guy but now i dont, you. are not. the guy."
First movie is full of stars like Banderas because they allegedly wanted something to watch with their own kids. Cause everything was for adults and they couldn’t share their job with their loved ones
I think the key to how Carmen treats Junni in the first movie is she treats him in a way "only a sibling can." And to be more specific, only an older sibling/one given WAY to much parental responsibilities over their other sibling/s. She gets away w/ what she says because she's written to reflect and be cathartic for the kids who had to do those things and couldn't be little sass bots about it
??? I’ve thought this WHOLE TIME that Robert Rodriguez took Machete from his movies and used that in the Spy Kids universe, not vice versa ?! Mind blown
The McD microwave scene has been imprinted in my brain since. Not even the mcd part, just the little packet. I’ve had a cardholder for a few years that reminds me of it every time I use it. Very random thing to stick in my mind
@@luthientinuviel3883I used to buy older editions of textbooks on purpose because money-I’d ask someone who already had the book to see it and flip through to compare that what I had was basically the same. I think it was only an issue one time where the chapter number and title didn’t match (but I hadn’t done the reading g for that class anyway, so 🤷♀️)
Those movies were somewhat formative for me as a writer, like I you went over the plot and I was just like “oh, yeah, that’s why some of my characters are like that”
I went a large part of my life thinking the actor that played Floop (Alan Cumming) was Stanley Tucci. Fast forward ten or so years, I’m watching Burlesque feat. Cher. Both Stanley Tucci and Alan Cumming are in Burlesque. Stanley comes on screen first, I think to myself “oh hey it’s floop” The next scene introduces Alan’s character. I was SHAKEN.
I 1st saw burlesque in my TV guide and I spent a majority of the movie trying to distinguish who was Cher and who was Christina 😅 I could only remember both were singers as a kid
Omg, here's my shameful Alan Cummings confession: to this day sometimes my brain tries to confuse Alan Cummings with Andy Dick. WHICH IS TERRIBLE. One is a bisexual icon and the other records himself fighting homeless people, like wtf brain 😭
And Alan Cumming def favors Caesar Flickerman character (host for the games from Hunger Games) more than Stanley Tucci even though it’s Stanley that plays the character. 😂😂
@@niftythegoblin i imagine so! But how do you change your outward humor to that? it would be jarring to my friends since my jokes are very self deprecating. But also, how do you do those jokes and not come off as a jerk/self centered/etc? He does it perfectly but idk how LOL. I imagine if I did it, it would look like im cocky or something
I'm only about 30 minutes into the video and I have never watched the Spy Kids franchise but the fact that they literally called them Fooglies is SENDING me 😭
As an avid user of Thriftbooks, I’d like to thank them for getting me through my English major and thank Spy Kids for inspiring so many daydreams and nightmares for my child brain
only like two sentences into the video and you said “when I think of something crushing and burning in 2001, of course I think of the spy kids franchise” I’m screaming😭😭😭😭
The whole concept of the mutated floop monsters freaked out so bad as a kid, now as an adult, it still freaks me out because it’s giving horror movie😩😭
These movies were a Latino kid's whole childhood. Like it's priority viewing and I still get excited when I see Danny trejo in stuff because of spy kids
I love the upbeat videos. I love the serious videos. You can certainly tell when you are having fun with it. I think you handle serious topics very well, and I think you take fun topics to the next level. Here for all of your videos for the past 4 years, and I appreciate all the work you've done to contribute to the youtube space!
I really like the end note you mentioned, and just know that people appreciate the lighthearted stuff! “The internet doesn’t always have to be about bad people doing bad things” -I 100% agree, it’s nice to just have fun for a little bit and enjoy the good things!
I’ve gotta say: between spy kids, cats vs dogs, and well-the platypus in my profile picture, the 2000s kind of had the holy trinity of children’s spy media
4:36 Not even a few seconds after D'Angelo talks about how silly the y2k incident was, my computer fully crashes accompanied by D'Angelo's angelic voice turning into a demonic hum. 10/10 jumpscare, masterfully crafted, didn't doubt for a second that it wasn't a coincidence.
Me too, and I think I didn't even fully realize it (probably on the account of being too young) until I saw the actor in another movie and it all clicked
Alan Cumming is a super fun and diverse actor too, I loved his portrayal of the Scarecrow in the SciFi Channel miniseries Tin Man. Anybody else remember that old gem??
Honestly, just typing this as a big thank you. This video was so well written and the hidden gems of meme lore just gave me even more stitches. One of my favourite videos of yours D'Angelo and I was not a Spy Kids fan
I still remember the absolute scandal and fear I felt in theaters as a hyper religious kid thinking I just heard a serious curse word while sitting next to my mom 😂
Robert Rodriguez has always been an interesting case for me. One moment he's making some fast pace indie-pulp action flicks, decides to do some family friendly franchise, makes a R-Rated spin-off to a character from family friendly franchise, creates a movie that won't be released in 100 years, and teams up with an acclaim $2 billion director to make a sci-fi anime adaptation. Say what you want about the man. He's had his flops and bombs, especially as of recently. But there's no denying that he knows his way around Hollywood.
somehow, i remember seeing spy kids 3 in theaters despite being 4 years old. i was obsessed with this franchise as a kid, and i remember begging my parents to rent spy kids 1,2, and 3 on netflix all the time, back when you still rented physical discs. when they stopped renting spy kids 1, i was so distraught. thank you for awakening my inner child again haha
Been working in academic libraries for 4 years now and you'd be surprised how many books we get are from thriftbooks. Seriously thriftbooks often has the books you're looking for a cheap price (they're mostly used but still) . As the name implies, it's also a way for you to give your books to someone who will want them. You send books you're done using and you get some news one!
I saw all three films in theaters, and I remember my mom hated the third so much that she wasn't going to buy me the DVD. Then I happened to break my arm at school the same day the DVD released, and she bought it for me because she felt bad I was injured. Also, I adore Alita: Battle Angel, so underrated.
i love that d'angelo didn't even present the possibility that some of us were 14 in 2001 and thus too old for spy kids. rip (elder millennials dying soon due to being so severely aged)
Thankyou so much for that last dialogue. I live in the UK and the riots are making me so depressed and terrified but listening to what you said made me realise I can distract myself
Man, as a kid?? That “floop is a mad man help us save us “ literally made my heart drop as a kid! Thinking of this movie as an adult! Gives me the hebeess lol 14:49
ugh i'm obsessed with this video. 1 bc spy kids is fundamental to my childhood, 2 bc i love when creators can put out groundbreaking journalism AND uber specific and personal deep dives. keep being you king
You can buy external cd drives. I work in a law firm and alot of disclosure of docs comes in CDs. None of the computers have drives for them so you get an external one and just plug it in via USB.
What I think is cool about the spy kids movies is that Rodriguez worked with his children and pretty much made the movies for them, a long with shark boy and lava girl I think thats what makes these movies pretty cool
I actually remember the 3rd one being my favorite when I was a kid, I didn't really have any gaming consoles growing up and stuff, only a family tv and sometimes my they bought some dvds, I quickly fell in love with the franchise. Although looking back, yeah some of the dialogue is incredibly off like the wheelchair stuff now that I have a bigger understanding of people in those sorts of situations. But the movie really carried me through my childhood, the silly but cool robots and suits, and the way The Guy dying literally always made me laugh out loud, I always assumed it was played off as a joke, the awesome vehicles and race sequence, and I remember loving the grandpa character and thinking he was the coolest guy in the world. and I remember loving the unique chill vibe and style of it so much so it's a bit hard seeing how it was harshly criticized then and now as an avid fan of it haha...
Also, this whole idea of "super children" is very 2000s now that I think about it. Basically kids doing dangerous adult tasks, can't remember the last time I really saw that in media, but admittedly, I watch a lot less stuff targeted at children nowadays.
Listening to you talk about a children's movie series from the early 2000's was a blast. I really appreciate this more lighthearted content. You should totally do this again.
the family being latino is one of the reason i really loved all 3 movies. i remember really loving the third just because i thought the concept was cool, but also, i remember seeing the team up happen at the end in theaters & going "wait, why the heck are these people here???"
I also feel like internet is not fun anymore, it's draining me yet i can't escape. Thank you for making videos like this, definitely made me feel better x
Please escape, because you absolutely can!! You can rediscover old hobbies or find new ones, take walks, take yourself on a picnic and listen to bird calls, anything. I used to be terminally online myself, but i'm so much happier since i've started doodling and writing when i feel upset instead of going on twitter or even watching youtube videos. Wishing you the best 💚
im so fascinated that you can buy so many copies of the same book for one video but not an external disc drive that could be useful for many videos. this is not a criticism i'm just intrigued by your mind
I feel very old, but also very confused. I spent my 10th birthday in Florida with my dad, and as a gift my sister on his side took me to see Spy Kids. I swear it was my 10th birthday, but I turned 10 in 2002. Spy Kids coming out in 2001 is really messing with me.
Could it have been a discount showing? There are some theaters that will play movies that have been out of normal theaters for a while, but for much cheaper (we called them dollar theaters, but tickets were usually a few bucks).
What month is your birthday cause sometimes when a movie is very successful it will air in theaters a couple extra months after it was it was initially supposed to stop
I love videos like this please keep making them! It's so fun hearing about people's current or previous passions! I'm a 91 baby in Canada and I somehow evaded Spy Kids so this was an excellent little video to learn about what I did and didn't miss out on LOL thank you! ☺
Not about the movie, but did you know the actress Alexis Penavega is a bit unhinged? She is part of the mlm Young Living, which sells essential oils. She and her husband take lots of supplements and have their children ingest the essential oils. They don’t wear sunscreen either. She use to post a lot on her Young Living page and even blocked me because I expressed my opinions on MLMs.but since has stopped, though I think she still used the oils. She does Hallmark movies with her husband now. They lived in LA, moved to Hawaii, then lived on a boat, a d now are in Tennessee.
Hallmark movies pretty much is a dead end for a career in film/TV. I swear I can't remember the last time I saw any hallmark actor move onto literally anything else but more hallmark

Rewatched it just last week with my kids. Was super excited to show them and they loved it! But truth be told it is not at all a good movie
Which makes since because Robert Rodriguez made it. He directed From Dusk Till Dawn and The Faculty.
And the sequel is even better and even more wacky
Kids horror movies usually cook SO hard 😊 Coraline
It was zany horror though, avenger penguins, Willo the Wisp, Billy the Cat, some other 80's and 90's cartoons.
as a wheelchair user who can also walk, its a *little* correct to say that it requires more arm strength and learning to use a manual wheelchair than expected. but ALSO as a former martial artist, i dont think it would give a tactical advantage (especially depending on the location of his SCI, since its assumed to be an SCI) aside from the fact that we're at crotch punching height.

The reason the Y2K bug didn’t cause problems was because experts spent tens of thousands of hours patching all of the government and financial and other essential systems that would have been affected. The news media blew it out of proportion, and then proceeded to act like there was never anything to worry about. It’s like the people say that it was unnecessary to ban CFCs because the holes in the ozone layer mended themselves - they were only able to do that because we banned CFCs.
I mean, they were right about Y2K happening....just a few 24 years later than expected.
Y2K walked so that crowdstrike could run
Thank you, whenever Y2K comes up, it is good to mention that it was a problem, overblown by the media, but also would've been really bad if a loooot of work hadn't been done.
It wasn't like the crowdstrike bug, to my understanding. Although similar issue of many systems going down.
I'd suggest people look into the Y2K response, it's actually very interesting.
Basically early programming didn't account for the future in actual code. But programmers of the past knew changes would have to be made to account for the year 2000.
They just expected systems to be correctly updated over time... not a hectic response right before the "due date".
Imo it's a good story of human foresight, but also laziness and short term greed (by ppl who owned systems and shouldve updated, not the coders).. eventually requiring huge cost to solve a problem at the 11th hour.

I remember when I was like 10 and went to see spy kids 3D in theaters and when it was over I took off my glasses and was like wtf my brain hurts and also I'm gonna puke and then I watched a fully grown dad puke his entire x large Baja blast that he'd snuck into the theater all down the middle aisle of the theater and then clumsily grab his children to leave the scene of the crime when his youngest child who was probably like 4 slipped in his own dads vomit and fell and started balling and refused to get up. it was such a scene that my oncoming migraine just evaporated and I appreciate them for that. true heroes.
Under appreciated comment. This is amazing, thank you for telling your story.
Baja blast didn’t exist yet when spy kids 3D came out
Elijah Wood being The Guy is the funniest scene in all of the movies
No the funniest scene is when he immediately dies after the reveal
@@KingOfGaymes”cake” 😂
LITERALLY lmaoi watched it recently and died
I didn’t watch lord of the rings at the time so I didn’t get it in theaters and when we watched movie at summer camp everyone would always cheer
I'll never forget that, when I was on the theater, as soon as he appeared, my mom and aunt just shout "Frodo Baggins!!!" 😂.
Speaking as a 2001 baby, "What could be more fun than watching something you love go to complete and utter hell" is our generation's BIRTHRIGHT when it comes to media
Oh my god you’re right… every single one..
Very true, very sad (2003)
Yeah… kung fu panda…😢, we still have ratatouille at the very least!
I'm a 90s kid. Sadly, it's the same for that generation, too. It's to the point if I loved a movie as a kid, I refuse to rewatch it.
Real 😭
so glad d’angelo now knows the pain of searching for disney adventures magazines as someone who is obsessed with darkwing duck and has been trying to track all the comics down
I randomly found one of our disney adventures magazine when moving my parents out of the apt. It brought back so many memories.
Memory unlocked
As a Latina, Spy Kids is a MANDATORY watch. 1 & 2 are EXCELLENT and campy and I adore the silly style. Loved these movies as a kid. They're so unserious and kid centered. Every kid I knew wanted to be a spy kid! We all wanted unos zapatos como esos!!!!☄️👟
Did not expect a deep dive D’Angelo Wallace Spy Kids video. I'm so here for it.
same but i’m sat
The Cody Ko to Spy Kids pipeline was not on my bingo card but I am sat
🪑🪑🪑
The fact that we read The Island of Dr Moreau in my English literature course at uni and my first thought was „wait, that’s what happened in Spy Kids 2“ will forever remain iconic to me.
Fun fact about why Y2K was never a big deal: we only averted disaster because a bunch of really smart people spent a lot of time and energy putting in safeguards and essentially fixing the problem before it happened. If we had ignored it, it would have actually been really bad.
super on point, I work for a finance firm and my boss has been with them 30 years, and he loves telling the story of the y2k change and how IT stayed up all day all night testing non stop to make sure all the framework and client accounts were going to be safe. It went something like CEO calls 15 before, guys say they'll find out in 15 minutes, new year flips, nothing happens, CEO calls back, the guys are clinking glasses of -forbidden drinks- and everything's fine!
Frrr my mom’s ex husband was a programmer and spent a lot of time trying to fix everything before y2k. It was really rough on both of them and partially caused their divorce
THIS. My Dad was one of the programmers working to keep everything from going to hell.
This! I'm constantly having the same discussion with my parents because "nothing happened so there was nothing to worry about" when actually nothing happened because so many people worked very hard to make sure nothing happened!!
yup! my dad was an engineer in telecom, and that’s basically how he explained it
As a former Spykids fan who saw all the movies in theaters, collected the happy meal toys, had VHS tapes for all the movies (3D's had a blue top on it!) and with a 21 year old WORKING Gameboy SP, this is one of my favorite youtube videos ever. So much nostalgia! And you really brought back the childhood wonder the films gave me way back when. Thank you!
Had it happy meal toys too?!! Sadly, we didn't have those in my country 🤔😅.
The best thing about these movies is how Robert Rodriguez made them - as cheaply as possible, using as many practical effects as possible, with all his pals and his kids.
Until the 3rd one lol
From 3 months of no uploads to 2 uploads in 2 weeks is the schedule I live for
Bro I see you everywhere and you commented on the video 1 minute after it was posted
@@monotypical_it’s the algorithm bring us together. Hello brother 👋
I'm not getting to excited. When dad goes out for milk enough times, you come to start preparing yourself for it
@@Gxmwpmy personal priority as a subscriber is that D’Angelo stays mentally well. If he uploads every day or once a decade, I’ll be grateful for whatever he provides as long as he’s keeping himself well. Our need and desire for content isn’t greater than D’Angelo’s wellbeing. 💗
I also adore that after the heaviness and importance of the last video that was so well done and set the internet on fire, we get an hour and a half of lighthearted pettiness to soothe our wounds. 😅
I was 8 in 2001 and watched spy kids at a sleepover. The thumbs scarred me for life and I don’t think I watched the rest of them.
d’angelo having an hyper fixation on robert rodriguez at age 5 is the funniest thing i’ve heard all week LMAO
W lore 😂
iconic of him really
The backwards SOS help message/audio and the character designs of the prisoner agents made my skin CRAWL as a kid. Watching this video, that hasn't changed. Absolutely a horror film for kids.
It’s been over 20 years and randomly my brain will still go: FLOOP IS A BAD MAN HELP US SAVE US 😩
D’Angelo, this was a breath of fresh air. I love your normal content so much, but I keep coming back to this video (already!!). Scrolling through UA-cam nowadays is just doom and gloom through an ironic lens (at least my fyp). Trying to find something to let my brain cool down and calm my nervous system down before getting ready to turn in for the night has been impossible lately. But this is lovely. Thank you:)
I vividly remember Spy Kids 3 being my first 3D experience. At one point some stuff floats towards you and a kid stretched his hand out to reach for it. Simpler times.
I remeber watching spy kids 3 in movies too! Remember the "take off your 3D glasses" moments vaguely....
Lol this reminds me. My first 3-D experience was actually an accident, it was meant to be the SpongeBob Movie but my grandma got confused and bought us tickets to a whale watching documentary. We probably watched an hour of whales in 4-D with water and wind spraying at us like it’s the ocean 😂😂
Y2K was a valid concern actually, but because people knew it was a potential issue they worked ahead of it so when the year 2000 hit it was smooth sailing
I came here to say this. It only wasn't catastrophic because so many people worked so diligently to correct all the code for years leading up to it.
Criminally undersold how big of an issue it would have been if not for the tremendous international effort and cost it took to prevent it.
i ended up looking into it because of this comment and the “documented errors” section of the wikipedia page has a lot of examples of glitches that *did* occur, which gives good perspective on how bad it would have been if people didn’t put in so much work to fix it in advance. (my favorite is that hong kong police breathalyzers stopped working… at midnight on new years, arguably the drunkest night of the year lol)
This is my favourite example of the preparedness paradox-when you fix a problem, the response looks disproportionate.
@@derangedone13 i had also considered making this same comment. Then i heard the rest of what he was saying, realized he was joking, and have been shocked by just how much of this comment section seems to think that D’Angelo Wallace absolutely must learn the same information about Y2K from 20,000 different people just because he wanted to include a joke about the recent windows debacle.
Um no, I LIVED for musical numbers at the ends of movies. This and Velma’s “Can’t Take My Eyes off of You” at the end of Scooby Doo were my church camera
Why am I not seeing anybody talk about the FOURTH SPY KIDS MOVIE, where they basically were like “hey remember this franchise that we ruined, let’s ruin it even more to try and make a quick buck off of nostalgia”
fr its so disappointing to see this guy make an hour and a half video about a franchise he claims to an expert on where he sweeps the true heinous parts of the franchise under the rug. Everyone knows about spykids 3, talk about 4 and the netflix series smhh
@@eyesareyumky2649 I forgot about the Netflix animated series that shit was AWFUL
STOP I'VE BEEN LOOKING IN THE COMMENT SECTION THIS WHOLE TIME
@@eyesareyumky2649he even showed clips of 4 in the intro 😭💔 cmon now lol
I was searching for comments about the 4th movie too, and had no idea till seeing this comment chain that there was a Netflix show as well. Madness.
D’Angelo exposing one of the biggest UA-camrs ever and then talking abt all of the Spy Kids movies in the next video, is honestly a power move.
a power move for his mental health. yes, yes it is.
The "aww" at 1:25:22 after finding out he couldn't kick Gary in his face 😭
the whole "the guy" thing from the third movie just kept reminding me of "you are not the guy, you will never be the guy, i had a guy but now i dont, you. are not. the guy."
First movie is full of stars like Banderas because they allegedly wanted something to watch with their own kids. Cause everything was for adults and they couldn’t share their job with their loved ones
"floop is a madman! Help us! Save us!" Apparently I watched Spy Kids because that made me dial it back to childhood for a second. 😅
I think the key to how Carmen treats Junni in the first movie is she treats him in a way "only a sibling can."
And to be more specific, only an older sibling/one given WAY to much parental responsibilities over their other sibling/s.
She gets away w/ what she says because she's written to reflect and be cathartic for the kids who had to do those things and couldn't be little sass bots about it
Hilariously enough, the R Rated Machete action movies by Robert Rodriguez are technically spin-offs of these films
The creator said its not but they have the same name and actor which makes me think he just doesnt want to admit it.
💀
This makes me so happy 😂
The fact, that I didnt realise that at the time, despite watching BOTH franchises!!!
??? I’ve thought this WHOLE TIME that Robert Rodriguez took Machete from his movies and used that in the Spy Kids universe, not vice versa ?! Mind blown
The McD microwave scene has been imprinted in my brain since. Not even the mcd part, just the little packet. I’ve had a cardholder for a few years that reminds me of it every time I use it. Very random thing to stick in my mind
As an avid reader, I am gobsmacked and dismayed that Dangelo has never heard of thriftbooks. Thriftbooks owns my fucking soul
same
Thriftbooks is saving my college classes fr, im ride or die for it
I gasped at that bit of the video
@@luthientinuviel3883I used to buy older editions of textbooks on purpose because money-I’d ask someone who already had the book to see it and flip through to compare that what I had was basically the same. I think it was only an issue one time where the chapter number and title didn’t match (but I hadn’t done the reading g for that class anyway, so 🤷♀️)
Why? It's literally zero percent different than places like Abebooks or Half Price, etc. They also sell from eBay. They're not even cheaper.
Me, an English major, understanding the stress of looking for out of print books and also shocked that some people don't know about Thriftbooks👁👄👁

Those movies were somewhat formative for me as a writer, like I you went over the plot and I was just like “oh, yeah, that’s why some of my characters are like that”
I went a large part of my life thinking the actor that played Floop (Alan Cumming) was Stanley Tucci.
Fast forward ten or so years, I’m watching Burlesque feat. Cher. Both Stanley Tucci and Alan Cumming are in Burlesque. Stanley comes on screen first, I think to myself “oh hey it’s floop”
The next scene introduces Alan’s character. I was SHAKEN.
I kinda see it tbh lmak
I 1st saw burlesque in my TV guide and I spent a majority of the movie trying to distinguish who was Cher and who was Christina 😅 I could only remember both were singers as a kid
Omg, here's my shameful Alan Cummings confession: to this day sometimes my brain tries to confuse Alan Cummings with Andy Dick. WHICH IS TERRIBLE. One is a bisexual icon and the other records himself fighting homeless people, like wtf brain 😭
teehee his last name is so silly :3
And Alan Cumming def favors Caesar Flickerman character (host for the games from Hunger Games) more than Stanley Tucci even though it’s Stanley that plays the character. 😂😂
"I haven't been to church in years because I was just so tired of being mistaken for Jesus." ICONIC.
I aspire to D’Angelo’s level of self esteem
D'Angelo's jokes have no prep time and no warning, lol. They're just sudden and hilarious.
@@uniraffesaur he has what ever the opposite of self deprecating humor is. and I need to change my self deprecating humor to that

You just unlocked a childhood memory by mentioning Geronimo Stilton! I was OBSESSED with those books! Urg - thank you for your service! 😭😭 ❤❤

I'm only about 30 minutes into the video and I have never watched the Spy Kids franchise but the fact that they literally called them Fooglies is SENDING me 😭
As an avid user of Thriftbooks, I’d like to thank them for getting me through my English major and thank Spy Kids for inspiring so many daydreams and nightmares for my child brain
only like two sentences into the video and you said “when I think of something crushing and burning in 2001, of course I think of the spy kids franchise” I’m screaming😭😭😭😭
😂 I did too!
:0
I was 11 in 2001, that "crash and burn" line in the intro was bold AF 😳
The whole concept of the mutated floop monsters freaked out so bad as a kid, now as an adult, it still freaks me out because it’s giving horror movie😩😭
These movies were a Latino kid's whole childhood. Like it's priority viewing and I still get excited when I see Danny trejo in stuff because of spy kids
I love the upbeat videos. I love the serious videos. You can certainly tell when you are having fun with it. I think you handle serious topics very well, and I think you take fun topics to the next level. Here for all of your videos for the past 4 years, and I appreciate all the work you've done to contribute to the youtube space!

Thanks for the respite, D'Angelo! This was a fun video! 😊😊😊
4:36 Not even a few seconds after D'Angelo talks about how silly the y2k incident was, my computer fully crashes accompanied by D'Angelo's angelic voice turning into a demonic hum. 10/10 jumpscare, masterfully crafted, didn't doubt for a second that it wasn't a coincidence.
That's just the kind of influence D'Angelo has
I need to get this off my chest: I had a huge crush on Fegan Floop as a kid.
And I'm not even that mad about it. He was serving looks.
honestly real
Oh thank God it wasn't just me 😂 watching this review had me like '... yeah I stand by this crush'
Alan Cummings, the host of Traitors 😍
Me too, and I think I didn't even fully realize it (probably on the account of being too young) until I saw the actor in another movie and it all clicked
Alan Cumming is a super fun and diverse actor too, I loved his portrayal of the Scarecrow in the SciFi Channel miniseries Tin Man. Anybody else remember that old gem??
Honestly, just typing this as a big thank you. This video was so well written and the hidden gems of meme lore just gave me even more stitches. One of my favourite videos of yours D'Angelo and I was not a Spy Kids fan
Can’t believe you didn’t mention the scandal of Carmen saying, “Ohhh shiitake mushrooms,” in the first film
No because ALL the kids in school used this line for years afterwards! The cultural impact of the shiitake mushrooms line should not be understated
I heard "oh shit, talking mushrooms" and never understood what the hell that line meant but I quoted it all the time 😂
I still remember the absolute scandal and fear I felt in theaters as a hyper religious kid thinking I just heard a serious curse word while sitting next to my mom 😂
Robert Rodriguez has always been an interesting case for me. One moment he's making some fast pace indie-pulp action flicks, decides to do some family friendly franchise, makes a R-Rated spin-off to a character from family friendly franchise, creates a movie that won't be released in 100 years, and teams up with an acclaim $2 billion director to make a sci-fi anime adaptation.
Say what you want about the man. He's had his flops and bombs, especially as of recently. But there's no denying that he knows his way around Hollywood.
somehow, i remember seeing spy kids 3 in theaters despite being 4 years old. i was obsessed with this franchise as a kid, and i remember begging my parents to rent spy kids 1,2, and 3 on netflix all the time, back when you still rented physical discs. when they stopped renting spy kids 1, i was so distraught. thank you for awakening my inner child again haha
the random d’angelo lore throughout the video makes it 100x better
my inner spy kids stan vs this video … but i’ll watch the whole thing for u dangelyoncé
That bug and juggling ride in spy 2 unlocked core nostalgia i didnt even know i had for that time
I love how D’Angelo went from endings career to rambling about their hyper fixation between like a few weeks
Been working in academic libraries for 4 years now and you'd be surprised how many books we get are from thriftbooks. Seriously thriftbooks often has the books you're looking for a cheap price (they're mostly used but still) . As the name implies, it's also a way for you to give your books to someone who will want them. You send books you're done using and you get some news one!
I saw all three films in theaters, and I remember my mom hated the third so much that she wasn't going to buy me the DVD. Then I happened to break my arm at school the same day the DVD released, and she bought it for me because she felt bad I was injured.
Also, I adore Alita: Battle Angel, so underrated.
i love that d'angelo didn't even present the possibility that some of us were 14 in 2001 and thus too old for spy kids. rip (elder millennials dying soon due to being so severely aged)
Haha I was 13 but immature and had a little brother, so we watched it plenty

Can we acknowledge that Gerti is played by Emily Osment aka Lilly form Hannah Montanna
When I first watched Hannah Montana I immediately recognised her from spy kids lol
ugh i'm obsessed with this video. 1 bc spy kids is fundamental to my childhood, 2 bc i love when creators can put out groundbreaking journalism AND uber specific and personal deep dives. keep being you king
You can buy external cd drives. I work in a law firm and alot of disclosure of docs comes in CDs. None of the computers have drives for them so you get an external one and just plug it in via USB.
spy kids started my irrational fear of being watched as a child because of that scene where machete shows the super tiny cameras
I think about that tiny camera at least once a week
Toooooo real
What I think is cool about the spy kids movies is that Rodriguez worked with his children and pretty much made the movies for them, a long with shark boy and lava girl
I think thats what makes these movies pretty cool
I think thats why these movies seem exactly like stuff that i would imagine as kids, it feels like it was ripped from my child brain
I actually remember the 3rd one being my favorite when I was a kid, I didn't really have any gaming consoles growing up and stuff, only a family tv and sometimes my they bought some dvds, I quickly fell in love with the franchise. Although looking back, yeah some of the dialogue is incredibly off like the wheelchair stuff now that I have a bigger understanding of people in those sorts of situations. But the movie really carried me through my childhood, the silly but cool robots and suits, and the way The Guy dying literally always made me laugh out loud, I always assumed it was played off as a joke, the awesome vehicles and race sequence, and I remember loving the grandpa character and thinking he was the coolest guy in the world. and I remember loving the unique chill vibe and style of it so much so it's a bit hard seeing how it was harshly criticized then and now as an avid fan of it haha...
Also, this whole idea of "super children" is very 2000s now that I think about it. Basically kids doing dangerous adult tasks, can't remember the last time I really saw that in media, but admittedly, I watch a lot less stuff targeted at children nowadays.
This genre never stopped being popular in Anime, at least.
I feel like it’s a pretty evergreen thing in kid’s media, especially in the action/adventure genre (Steven Universe, The Owl House, etc.)
I can't even think of a live action kid's show or movie that's been popular for the last however many years. They're all watching MrBeast dude
The PBS kids show Odd Squad is about a task force of child secret agents, it's similar to Spy Kids in terms of campiness.
"How many letters in Nintendo? 8. Because that's what they did," is a killer line.
Listening to you talk about a children's movie series from the early 2000's was a blast. I really appreciate this more lighthearted content. You should totally do this again.
“I am, once again, in the right headspace to match your freak.” 😂😂
Been singing " floop is a mad man, help us, save us " for years now
I went to the cinema to watch spy kids on 3D and I will never forget it as a core memory of my childhood 😭
the family being latino is one of the reason i really loved all 3 movies. i remember really loving the third just because i thought the concept was cool, but also, i remember seeing the team up happen at the end in theaters & going "wait, why the heck are these people here???"
That was actually a major factor for Robert, he wanted a movie for his kids with a Latino cast
I also feel like internet is not fun anymore, it's draining me yet i can't escape. Thank you for making videos like this, definitely made me feel better x

Not about the movie, but did you know the actress Alexis Penavega is a bit unhinged? She is part of the mlm Young Living, which sells essential oils. She and her husband take lots of supplements and have their children ingest the essential oils. They don’t wear sunscreen either. She use to post a lot on her Young Living page and even blocked me because I expressed my opinions on MLMs.but since has stopped, though I think she still used the oils. She does Hallmark movies with her husband now. They lived in LA, moved to Hawaii, then lived on a boat, a d now are in Tennessee.
Hallmark movies pretty much is a dead end for a career in film/TV. I swear I can't remember the last time I saw any hallmark actor move onto literally anything else but more hallmark
