My first connection of seeing this video! If he was Buzz's dad, he probably would still destroy him but not kill him I mean unless if he thought he was a mistake.
As you probably already guesse, I feel like that whole "I am your father thing" was originally put in Toy story mainly as a Star Wars reference along with Zurgs similarities to Darth Vader with both being hald human/half machine. That was all reference at first and they slowly built on it, but Zurg was most likely never originally meant to be and isn't Buzz's father, just a toy malfunction and his trickery to beat Buzz
to be honest, I didn't get that when I first saw toy story 2. When I was watching it with my family, and they laughed at that part, I was so confused. Then they said it was from star wars and explained it to me... but then I thought star wars stole it from toy story... then my uncle had to educate me on star wars and the movie marathon begun.
Zurg definitely isn't Buzz's father, I do however feel he secretly connects to Buzz like a father, since even though Zurg is always plotting against him and calling him mean things, he does one thing that other villains don't, and that is over estimate and believe in Buzz. Nos4A2 mentions this in the one episode where the vampire robot basically almost takes over the galaxy, the vampire himself is Zurg's son since Zurg created him, but instead of a connection there, Nos4A2 rebels and over throws his father, this kind of makes me believe Zurg mightve done this in the past to his own father, regretting it in the present since he clearly is someone who doesn't like to do things alone and really has no other relations other than his coworkers. He acts diabolical but deep down is sad and lonely and retains having a bond to someone in having an arch enemy, the only thing that's keeping him going, in a twisted way i think he really admires Buzz and will always trust him to get any job done
Since Zurg is a parody of Vader, I had a feeling he used to be a space ranger, but Star Command screwed him over somehow and he became a powerful cyborg after merging with some evil AI or something.
I was thinking something like that as well. Unfortunately if anyone wants to take that when writing the story they’ll have a lot of work to do to make sure it’s not a cheap bastardization. We’ve had enough of those these last few years.
Zurg would probably still try to destroy Buzz Lightyear, if Buzz was his son. Think about. A evil family member who wants to destroy the good member or members of their family in order to achieve whatever their evil goal is, will not care about their family, the villian will toss his or her family aside in order to succeed.
One of my favorite movie quotes of all time came from a Brain Pod in the Buzz Lightyear movie: "Let's leave the brain work to those with the brains, shall we?"
I think Zurg could be a cyborg in a similar vain to General Grevious from Star Wars. General Grevious was once part of an alien race called the "Kaleesh" who was in a starship crash and after agreeing to help Count Dooku and Darth Sidious was rebuilt as a cyborg. Maybe something like that?
I appreciate you making this video!! For so long, I have questioned if Zurg was really Buzz's dad or if Toy Story 2 was just making a Star Wars reference. Thank you! :)
It's pretty complicated, Isaac. But, if Zurg was Buzz' father, I think he would still try to destroy him. And that's a pretty good story about evil emperor Zurg.
It would be kind of cool if we saw toy versions of a couple of the other rangers that he worked with in Toy Story 4 briefly. Maybe a post credit's scene or something along those lines.
My head canon always was that he’s actually one of the Grubs from the animated series that he rules over. He actually wears that giant robot suit so he can appear intimidating to his enemies.
I feel like Zurg's robotic enhancements are self-inflicted. You see, I invision a Zurg not only obsessed with the idea of total galactic conquest, but the idea that the organic body can be upgraded into something that could help aid in galactic conquest.
I have a theory, that the Zurg toy was programmed before the plot point about him being Buzz's father was scrapped. The TV show simply left it in as an inside joke.
Pixar is making a new Buzz Lightyear movie by 2022. From what little we know it won't be a copy of this movie but will be a new origin story for Buzz Lightyear. So we might also get the origin of Zurg.
Man, it's pretty depressing the fact that Zurg and Warp in the movie were better villains than both Anakin Skywalker and ESPECIALLY Kylo Ren from the last 4 movies we got from Star Wars.
@@kevinavila2364 Wayne Knight is Newman. That was the name of Wayne’s character on Seinfeld. Now me personally, I always remembered Wayne Knight as Stan Podilak from Space Jam, and Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park.
Unfortunately this is nothing that I didn't know after binge-watching the entire Buzz Lightyear of Star Command series back in September. Me personally, I don't know how far that series actually IS canon to the Toy Story movies or not... I have some theories... 1; because its clear that the Toys from Toy Story ARE in fact watching the Buzz Lightyear cartoon show, it establishes that the Toy-Line came first and the show was made afterwards to help capitalize on the brand and market more toys. Buzz and the Zurg we saw from Toy Story 2 are effectively 1st Generation Toys in the Buzz Lightyear line, and thus have the ORIGINAL story that the toy-developers intended for the characters. BUT I have a feeling that idea was scrapped for the cartoon show, because it presented a far too "heavy" story-line for the show's intended audience. Zurg was considerably changed from his original "darker" incarnation to be much more comedic and child-friendly. But even more than that, such a heavy reveal of a paternal lineage between the two, would have the fans clambering for an answer as to When, Where and HOW it happened...and the show quite frankly wasn't prepared to answer any of those questions. So the original concept was scrapped in favor of a more episodic and light-hearted series. Plus - and I think Toy Story 2 shows us this - given Zurg's personality, I don't think it would make all that much sense for Buzz and Zurg to keep fighting each other once this was revealed, as Zurg ends up taking on a more fatherly attitude towards the Second Buzz - given how "campy" the Cartoon Zurg is, I could easily see that happening... Theory 2; is that maybe it was all a game of Psychological Torture for Buzz; a way for Zurg to get under his skin and possibly prevent him from ever truly giving his all to defeat him. Let's say that Zurg was pulling a "Thulsa Doom" from Conan the Barbarian; Thulsa is the man who killed Conan's entire family and village, so Conan returns as a man seeking revenge. But because he's dedicated his entire life to getting Thulsa, in a sense, Thulsa has created him and he would be nothing without him. "For who now is your father if not me?" It could be that Buzz was motivated to join the Space Rangers after Zurg had attacked his home planet, possibly killing those he loved. So he joined up so that he could dedicate his life to trying to get Zurg; thus Zurg created him and in a sense, is his Father. Course, I still prefer to think that Zurg actually IS Buzz's father in some way or form. My headcanon is that Zurg - rather than an actual being - is more or less a Concept or an Idea...There has always been an Evil Emperor Zurg who has been threatening the Galaxy. He draws his power from Planet Z - the source of his Empire. However, Zurg could be anyone since all he is, is a man in a suit and a mask...So every now and then, whatever force of Good rises in the Galaxy to counter Zurg manages to defeat him, the cycle begins again, with the Supreme Beings that perpetuate the conflict abducting the current champion - in this case, Aldrin Lightyear (Buzz's Father) - and Brainwashing him to serve as the NEW Zurg. Hell, there are actually TWO species introduced in the Buzz Lightyear cartoon that could've actually served this purpose. And I think the existence of Evil Buzz actually corroborates this story - only instead of Aldrin falling victim to the cycle, it was Buzz himself...(if you ignore the fact that Evil-Verse Zurg is working at the Diner.)
the toy line never came 1st. it is established in toy story 1 that buzz is a product of intellectual property. the world's greatest superhero is now the world's greatest toy.
This is what I think... Zurg originally was a normal citizen, who met a woman who eventually became his wife. He was an extremely good scientist and was amazing at constructing things. After marrying his now wife, they had a child named Buzz. After only one year after Buzz' birth, there was an attack from Star Command. Zurg, using his robots and weapons, decided to fight back. He encountered the main commander of Star Command and they had a huge fight over a huge lava river. Eventually, the commander's weapons were too strong and he managed to defeat Zurg. Zurg was dropped into a the lava River and was severely burnt. His robots recovered him and brought him back to his base, where he was re-built as a cyborg. His legs were completely burnt off, so he used a metal dress with wheels to move. As soon as he was re-built, he returned to his house to find his wife and child. When he arrived, the house was in flames. He entered the building, fighting through the fire to his child's bedroom. Buzz was gone, along with his wife. He was heartbroken. He knew that Star Command had done it. He decided to build a massive Empire to destroy Star Command and, well... Just find his son. Sadly, after a few years, the robotics inside him took over his mind and caused him to turn almost completely robot and evil. It was supposed to be based on Star Wars, as Zurg is pretty much Darth Vader... Like this comment if you... Well... Like it!
in the movies he basically just isnt a character, in the first he's just a name, in 2 he is a darth vader parody that got lost in all the movie references we were too young to understand, and in 3 he's a post credits cameo
Even though he appeared in two movies, 2 as a secondary antagonist and 3 a cameo, and A show I only saw the movie of (I need to see if I can watch some here on UA-cam.), Zurg is my fav Toy Story character. I don't know why... I just do. I wish they made him playable in Disney Infinity. I would have loved to play as him.
7:03, that’s a good question. We know Nana Zurg was “plenty evil” and that Zurg fondly remembers his mother who called him Agent Z and her “evil bedtime stories” about Natron the First. So I think it might give Zurg some pause if Buzz were actually his son but I also suspect that Buzz standing in Zurg’s way (assuming Buzz would be the same Buzz Lightyear if that happened) would be enough that Zurg would stop caring.

Isaac, I also grew up on Toy Story. Toy Story remains my favorite Disney Pixar franchise to date. It's good to know that you share my love for Toy Story, especially Buzz Lightyear.
He's a pretty cool hammy villain, and his cartoon VA is Wayne Knight. I think if Buzz and Zurg were related it be something similar to the Lego Ninjago movie with La-loyd and Garmadon.
I can't believe you actually used clips of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command! I loved that show and the movie when I was kid! I was obsseesd with Toy Story 1 and 2 and I would watch Buzz Lightyear of Star Command on ABC on Saturday mornings and on Disney Channel. Nobody ever mentions this show, and I don't get why not many liked it. The show is clever and it is hilarious, I recently watched some episodes again, and I still think the show is great.
I always strongly believed that Zurg could be Buzz's father but I wonder what Zurg will look like in the new Lightyear movie coming in 2022 we don't know yet but they haven't announced the rest to this upcoming movie i know it's gonna be the orign of buzz and i don't know if he's gonna be a lost family member or just some villain who had a strong hatred against everyone and want to destroy and rule the galaxy so bad ,if there actually gonna plan to have Zurg to be the dad to Buzz they better be careful not to try to rip off another character who also had that iconic catch phrase "i am your father " i also have a crazy theory to the Buzz Lightyear of star command series like what if Zurg really is Buzz Lightyear's father like he was once an ordinary space ranger until he was brainwashed to become the evil emperor that we all know and forgotten everything he knew before like his wife and not knowing Buzz being his child caused i been reading pretty cool fan stories on devianart, and I really wish the Buzz Lightyear of star command series is on Disney + that way I can watch the episodes clear without the giant mouse logo in the way and the bad crappy quality , it's a really good show in my opinion maybe there's no reason for Pixar to hate it ,
@@Vigriff It's highly possible. Because these two characters were written by the same producers. Also speaking of that I am pretty sure Shego and Warp Darkmatter would have made a pretty nice couple! And suprise-suprise both Mira and Shego were voiced by the same actress!
Is it just me, or does Zurg sound like a fusion of Darth Vader and General Grievous? Cyborg/robot villains who hire bounty hunters. And the Hornets are basically battle droids
In the tv show there was a moment when Buzz and Zurg were fighting, and right as he was about to lose the fight Zurg said "I am your father". This caused Buzz to pause in shock, only for Zurg to sucker punch him and knock him over the edge, yelling "Psyche! Made you look!"
For all we know, Star Wars might not exist in the Toy Story universe. So Zurg being Buzz's father could be legitimate lore. It's a referential joke for us, but could be a real plot point in this fictional franchise. Too bad Lightyear did a terrible job with Zurg.
Here is the plot twist, Zurg is buzz lightyear’s real father, Zeno ,he is a cyborg not a robot, his head is Human and has a scar, The real leader is emperor mordroc. (A parody on the emperor from Star Wars)
It doesnt hurt that hes voiced by wahne knight for the tv series Also best line "I shall call you agent Z" "Thats stupid " " MY MOTHER USE TO CALL ME THAT!!!" 😂
If he really was his father maybe they wouldn't be enemies because in blosc, Zurg seems to get really sentimental and emotional about his family (even tho it's played for laughs but it's apparently true that he has/had actual family members), he even gets emotional when he talks about creating NOS -4-A2. so like maybe he wouldn't be acting how he does towards Buzz if he really was his son.
Buzz lightyear was the first cartoon hero I looked up to. I wanted to be a space ranger so bad and remember training in the backyard to fight zurg. When i went to Disney world for the first time, and only time so far, all i wanted was a buzz lightyear pin and to get his signature. That was the cloud nine of my life. I have the movie that introduced the series and loved the ride!
So, TLDR Zurg is basically a mix between General Grievous and Darth Vader (the clip at 6:12 even shows that, with a not-so-subtle red lightsaber-like thing)
You're telling me about Zurg. I already know about Zurg. I've been a fan of Zurg. He's my Zurg. *WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHY YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME THE BACKGROUND HISTORY OF ZURG!!!* Lol nah jk. Great video. I really do wish there was more to his background
Bummer i really love Zurg. :/ Hey Wotso, I know how much you like Disney and I wanted to throw a game suggestion your way. Ever heard of a game called Kingdom Hearts? It's a game where you go into different Disney type movies and fight the forces of darkness. It might be something worth your time. Just had to let you know
May i make up an origin story for Zurg? His original name was Likus, a gifted student, fluent in the art of machines, so much so that he became one after his friend almost killed him in battle. He was originally apprentice to the first Emperor Zurg, before betraying and destroying him.

A evil family member who wants to destroy the good member or members of their family in order to achieve whatever their evil goal is, will not care about their family, the villian will toss his or her family aside in order to succeed.
Jalen Bennett villains don't think of dying but there are some who would want to pass along powers to continue their terror through them.

@@GhostFan-ev4di do you not Facking get it? Most of the time, people adore fictional character nowadays
Isaac, I also grew up on Toy Story. Toy Story remains my favorite Disney Pixar franchise to date. It's good to know that you share my love for Toy Story, especially Buzz Lightyear.
Whew..so thankful Buzz isn't his own dad.
Plot twist: Zurg was a ranger before he became Zurg.
Buzz, you're next!
He's a pretty cool hammy villain, and his cartoon VA is Wayne Knight.
I think if Buzz and Zurg were related it be something similar to the Lego Ninjago movie with La-loyd and Garmadon.
I can't believe you actually used clips of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command! I loved that show and the movie when I was kid! I was obsseesd with Toy Story 1 and 2 and I would watch Buzz Lightyear of Star Command on ABC on Saturday mornings and on Disney Channel. Nobody ever mentions this show, and I don't get why not many liked it. The show is clever and it is hilarious, I recently watched some episodes again, and I still think the show is great.
So now Disney has TWO Darth Vaders
I always strongly believed that Zurg could be Buzz's father but I wonder what Zurg will look like in the new Lightyear movie coming in 2022
we don't know yet but they haven't announced the rest to this upcoming movie i know it's gonna be the orign of buzz and i don't know if he's gonna be a lost family member or just some villain who had a strong hatred against everyone and want to destroy and rule the galaxy so bad ,if there actually gonna plan to have Zurg to be the dad to Buzz they better be careful not to try to rip off another character who also had that iconic catch phrase "i am your father " i also have a crazy theory to the Buzz Lightyear of star command series like what if Zurg really is Buzz Lightyear's father like he was once an ordinary space ranger until he was brainwashed to become the evil emperor that we all know and forgotten everything he knew before like his wife and not knowing Buzz being his child caused i been reading pretty cool fan stories on devianart, and I really wish the Buzz Lightyear of star command series is on Disney + that way I can watch the episodes clear without the giant mouse logo in the way and the bad crappy quality , it's a really good show in my opinion maybe there's no reason for Pixar to hate it ,
This is a video that I didn’t know I wanted to see until I saw the title. Great video!
Man this is way better than the Lightyear version
Correct.
Amazing content. I love the humor and excited delivery. I'm learning so much.
I think Zurg and Dr. D would get along quite well
Who's Doctor D

@@emilyfrancalangia516 oh, shudduv known
I was thinking Drakken from Kim Possible.
@@Vigriff It's highly possible. Because these two characters were written by the same producers. Also speaking of that I am pretty sure Shego and Warp Darkmatter would have made a pretty nice couple! And suprise-suprise both Mira and Shego were voiced by the same actress!
Can you take about Andy's dad in the next video
Ya
@@samarahoisington2785 go see supercarlin brothers they already did that i dont want to spoil it for yall
Well now we know Zurg IS Buzz
Nope! That IS not canon.
Well, with Buzz's return to the big screen closing in... how do you think the Evil Emperor will look?
Yay Toy Story! :D
Agree
Is it just me, or does Zurg sound like a fusion of Darth Vader and General Grievous? Cyborg/robot villains who hire bounty hunters. And the Hornets are basically battle droids
I like dressing up as zurg from Toy Story 2 and lightyear movie fused together for a costume with robot legs cape and robe
"They had Buzz Lightyear in my early days"
Oof, that's true, I remember when things were simple back then. To clarify, I'm not old
It made me giddy and happy when he called us space rangers X3
IDK why, but it made my day!!
I never knew about this story. It’s pretty cool.
In the tv show there was a moment when Buzz and Zurg were fighting, and right as he was about to lose the fight Zurg said "I am your father".
This caused Buzz to pause in shock, only for Zurg to sucker punch him and knock him over the edge, yelling "Psyche! Made you look!"
Zurg Original: I am your father...
Zurg 2022: You are me, and I am you...
5:30 LOOOOL 🤣🤣🤣 this is just too good! 🤣👍
MORE ZURG i love him >w
Maybe we'll learn more of Zurg's origin in the new "Lightyear" movie.
Why could you make Zurg's backstory like Anakin Skywalker's?
Let's hope Zurg appears in that Lightyear movie, he better be voiced by Wayne Knight or I'm going to be absolutely livid!!
Zurg is buzz from the future
@@marmarcitgo8933 I thought he was his father.🤣
@@marmarcitgo8933 that’s not canon.

Awesome Video Isaac!
I'm so excited for Toy Story 4 to come out. To Infinity and Beyond!!
I love your videos!!!and thanks for explaining zurg's story:") is it possible if you make other buzz lightyear of star command vids plz?💜
For all we know, Star Wars might not exist in the Toy Story universe. So Zurg being Buzz's father could be legitimate lore. It's a referential joke for us, but could be a real plot point in this fictional franchise.
Too bad Lightyear did a terrible job with Zurg.
Here is the plot twist, Zurg is buzz lightyear’s real father, Zeno ,he is a cyborg not a robot, his head is Human and has a scar,
The real leader is emperor mordroc. (A parody on the emperor from Star Wars)
Living for all of this cause this was my childhood
I can’t help but think Zurg’s voice sounded exactly like Bender from Futurama at 5:37.
I want to know what happened to Woody's girlfriend what happened to her
cassyluv Sanchez I didn’t know he had a girlfriend
@@ashlynreinig1980 Bo Peep is his girlfriend.
@@tamarasmith9060 we'll find out in Toy Story 4
Now I wanna watch the Buzz Lightyear movie
Same I watched that movie all the time when I was young Zurg was hilarious in it
@@mrcritical6751
Me too.
I think used to rewind the tape so much that I almost broke it.
How wold you like to actually have a Buzz Lightyear movie and the director would have been J.J.Abrams?
I’d watch that he’s good at creating universes and interesting worlds
Not very much.
The old one might be a bit cheesy,but it's fine the way it is.
Also,rebooted or reimagined movies got stale.
The new Buzz movie is an insult to Buzz lore
Zurg isn’t even an emperor.
@@goojo173 Exactly
the Hornets kinda remind me of B1 Battle Droids.
And their shooting is just as competent as the shooting of these robots.
@@penny1545 true.

5:40
*NO! SEVERAL YEARS IN THE FAN FICTION WASTED!*
So this was before Lightyear was released then, quite mindblowing who Zurg really turned out to be
Zurg being Buzz from the future ain’t canon.
It doesnt hurt that hes voiced by wahne knight for the tv series
Also best line
"I shall call you agent Z"
"Thats stupid "
" MY MOTHER USE TO CALL ME THAT!!!"
😂
But the weird thing is that Zurg's mother doesn't make a single appearance in the show. But in the movie he did refered to her twice.
This video is the only thing getting me through the rest of my day. Love you Issac ❤
tatithemoonbear bullshit
Can’t wait to see Zurg in Lightyear
If he really was his father maybe they wouldn't be enemies because in blosc, Zurg seems to get really sentimental and emotional about his family (even tho it's played for laughs but it's apparently true that he has/had actual family members), he even gets emotional when he talks about creating NOS -4-A2. so like maybe he wouldn't be acting how he does towards Buzz if he really was his son.
Does Zurg sound like anyone in real life
You mean Trump?
How’d you know
Sounds more like Darth Vader to me
@@adynholden9546 Just a guess
Amanda Healey somewhat ya but I meant a real person
Zurg has to be a favorite Disney villain
Little did anyone know in 2022, the lightyear movie announced that zurg is buzz from a different timeline.
Idk why you’re bringing that up as it has no relevance since that backstory is non canon.
Dude it would be so much better if he was canonically Buzz’s father
If you're gonna be psychoanalyzing Zurg, you'll be a reverse Dr. Picani 😆
I refuse to believe Zurg isn't Buzz's father.
Buzz lightyear was the first cartoon hero I looked up to. I wanted to be a space ranger so bad and remember training in the backyard to fight zurg. When i went to Disney world for the first time, and only time so far, all i wanted was a buzz lightyear pin and to get his signature. That was the cloud nine of my life. I have the movie that introduced the series and loved the ride!
My favorite scene in toy story 2 is the star wars reference
The video is very good, but what I enjoyed the most is your enthusiasm! Great job
he’s like Emperor Palpatine he wants to take over the whole galaxy.
u wish i could tell this 2018 version of this guy that there making a buzz light year movie, just to see how excited heed get
It's strange only seeing 12 comments on this channel,usually once a video comes out there would be 50 comments,oh well
Zurg's Ion Blaster is probably my favorite fictional gun.
So, TLDR Zurg is basically a mix between General Grievous and Darth Vader (the clip at 6:12 even shows that, with a not-so-subtle red lightsaber-like thing)
Well well well. Lightyear 2022! Zurgggg!
Edit: 😞
Bout time I've been waiting. Another good 1
You're telling me about Zurg.
I already know about Zurg.
I've been a fan of Zurg.
He's my Zurg.
*WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHY YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME THE BACKGROUND HISTORY OF ZURG!!!*
Lol nah jk. Great video. I really do wish there was more to his background
I know Andrew. I wish there was more to say on his background but it continues to remain a mystery.
Bummer i really love Zurg. :/ Hey Wotso, I know how much you like Disney and I wanted to throw a game suggestion your way. Ever heard of a game called Kingdom Hearts? It's a game where you go into different Disney type movies and fight the forces of darkness. It might be something worth your time. Just had to let you know
He's not actually Buzz's father, he just drops the line every now and then to screw with him. It's kinda funny
#11 lets get it
I feel like there's a Star Wars thing between Buzz and Zurg.
May i make up an origin story for Zurg?
His original name was Likus, a gifted student, fluent in the art of machines, so much so that he became one after his friend almost killed him in battle.
He was originally apprentice to the first Emperor Zurg, before betraying and destroying him.
