- original video: • Plain White T's - Hey ... (please don't sue me thank you)
it's sad to see toy's r us go. rest in peace
(this is my first video, a little bit of an experiment if you want to call it that. I plan on uploading a lot more "diverse" content.)
I clicked on this thinking it would be funny
I was very very very wrong
me too bro
I think a part of my childhood died unintentionally-
Same....
I laughed, I was also saddened, while being infected with the nostalgia.

The world really had a huge downfall ever since Toys R Us closed down
Yes yes it has this video hits different
They were stopping it
This vid hits diff no cap
There's still Toy's R US in other countries. You know that right?
@@oliviag469 I'm aware but not in the US which kinda sucks
Clutching the hands of your parents, you approach the entrance of your favorite place. Today is your birthday. “Get whatever you want”...wait for it...huh, nothing else? You look up, into the warm eyes of your parents. They smile at you and say, “yes, we mean anything. No limit on price. But please, only one thing.” Excited, you dash into the store and towards the first aisle, dragging the hands of your parents. Behind, you hear them laughing, and telling you to slow down.
As you browse through what it seems to be endless aisles of toys, you look around and you see the waves of children. They look just like you. To your left, a girl clutches a doll and the latest My Little Pony set. To your right, you see a mom and her three boys. The youngest is crying and whining about wanting the latest Star Wars LEGO set, but the mom continues to desperately explain that she couldn't afford it. Meanwhile, the two older boys are busy clashing with Lightsabers. As you walk past them, the voice of the mother is overwhelmed by the sounds of nearby happy children...but you managed to hear one thing: “Please baby, I know it's your birthday but can you get something else?”.
Continuing on your conquest to find your perfect gift, you finally reach the aisle you’ve been looking for. But even then, the possibilities seem endless. You brush through hundreds of boxes placed side by side, still unsure of what exactly you want. Then finally, one of them catches your attention. You pick it up and shake it. It was the sound of excitement - along with the sounds of happy children and music in the background. Then, you look at the price tag. One hundred dollars. "That's okay. If that’s what you really want, we will pay for it," says the voice from behind. Yup, this is exactly what I want. As you and your parents walk towards the registers, clutching the box, you see the mom and her three boys waiting in line nearby. The two boys are still battling with the Lightsabers. The youngest one is holding the hand of his mother while sniffing in tears. You see what he holds on the other hand - nothing.
You gently nudge your parents, and they bend down to hear what you have to say. They nod and release your hand. You run back to your favorite aisle and place the box back. You run to the nearby aisle and snatch that Star Wars LEGO set. As you run back to the line your parents stood in, you notice that they aren’t there. You scan the lines. Oh, there they are, standing next to the mother of three. As you approach them, the young boy looks up and notices you. He sees the box you’re holding and it appears as if he is about to burst into tears once again. You hold the LEGO box out, in front of him. “It’s for you.” His face slowly brightens, shining brighter than the ceiling lights. He drops the box and hugs you tightly. You can still feel the slightly wet tears left on his face dripping down on you. But you smile too. The mother continues to thank your parents. As you leave Toys R Us empty-handed on your birthday, your smile slowly fades, just like the music of the store within. Your parents continue to chat with the mother while her boys are happy. You see the young boy staring at the LEGO set in awe, and you can’t help but smile just a little. On the way home sitting in the backseat of the car, your parents ask you about getting another present. “No...it’s fine. I’m happy that I made someone else happy.” But clearly, it’s not fine and you’re not entirely happy. Your parents look up in the rear mirror and they can see that too.
The moment you get home, you run up to your room. What was I thinking? I have nothing for my birthday. You plop down in your bed, in tears. As you close your eyes, you can see the image of the young boy staring in awe at his Star Wars LEGO set. Then the image of him opening the box floats into your mind. You begin to cry.
*knock knock*
Mom comes in, attempting to comfort you. She reminds you that your friends would be coming over in a few hours for the birthday party. She asks you if you would like to help her prepare the cake in an hour or so. “Daddy is out to get milk at the grocery store.” (haha...). You come downstairs to the kitchen to wait. An hour later and he still hasn’t returned yet. You decide to go watch TV on the couch. Cartoon Network. Eventually, though, you hear the car engine outside and footsteps by the front door. Dad walks in with the milk and a large box. Come _____, please help me carry this box. You run up to him and grab the box. You can feel something moving inside. "Well, don't just stare at it, why do you open it?"
You slowly lift the lid up. Inside, a small golden puppy looks up at you.
It turns out, the mother of the three boys works at an animal shelter.
That's... amazing. Really nice job writing that!
Heh, thanks :)
I actually wrote this many months ago...kinda forgot about it so I didn't "comment" it then. Skimming it now, I notice many things I would change (like word choice and just simple grammar edits lol). Mehhh, might edit it someday :]

I didn’t think Toys R Us would shut down when I was a little kid. Seeing the empty and abandoned stores just hurts. So many memories, so many toys, forgotten.
What hurts more is seeing them get turned into appliance stores...

@@spingleboygle I can't speak for all of them, but the few near me have all been taken over by appliance stores.

“Mom can I get this toy?”
“Maybe next time you have more toys at home”
“PLEAASE”
“Ok fine but only one toy”
And then you walk to your car with your toy in the bag that your holding 🥺

For me it was walking to the bus. I miss those days now my mom only buys me stuff if I get rid of things or it’s a special occasion or something and we don’t go to Toys are us anymore 🥺

It was
“You never know you are making a memory until it’s already over.”
Sucks dude. Would pick out a lego set with my dad and build the whole thing with a smile on my face. I look back, and now it makes me sad. Have not been to a Toys R Us in about 8 years. Sad.
“You were so brave while you got your shots! You can pick any toy you want!”
*”Thanks Mom!”*
It’s only memories now. Imagine still being 7 and not caring about anything. But that feeling when you could pick a toy? Priceless.
why do I feel like this is the ending scene in a movie where everyone dies and now it’s just sad and peaceful and it’s saying the producers names
The movie is called "2020"
Avengers infinity war and end game 😛
Idk. I feel that too though

This video was the beginning of liminal spaces culture.
I still think of this video regularly. It marks a spot in time where the world started to unravel. If only we could go back to what we had.
Me too, this video gets recommended once and then going forward i end up searching for this video throughout the year just to have inner peace and remember simpler times. This version of hey there Delilah hits different too.
"I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid."

So depressing
“It’s too far away, and it’s too expensive. Let’s just go to Walmart.”
That is exactly what my parents would say if i asked them if i could go to target or toys r us. I would complain about walmart being crappy but they would still take me to a walmart that takes 20 minutes to get to.
I've never been to toys r us cuz I'm poor. Apparently a lot of people in the comments are privileged af.

This reminds me of when I was in eight grade, about to graduate, and me and my class were coming back from a trip. We were in NYC and will driving back home, we saw two freshly shut down Toys R Us. I was sad, but I had my friends. Now, as a senior with no one left, I am hit with such intense nostalgia. Now that sadness of my lost childhood, fun, and friends that I felt back down I feel now, but just 2x harder. I now feel empty and numb because of the toll school takes on me + adult responsibilities such as college. But this video reminds how much I miss those times and how I'd do anything to be that happy again, but I know moments like that are like precious gems, never to be repeated again.
you know, it’s funny. when we were little, we all wanted to grow up and be older. now that we’re older, we just want to be little again. oh what i would do to be back in 2010-2016.
“Sorry dear, it’s too late. I promise we’ll go tomorrow.”
*8 Years Later*
Haha it’s just like when you want that toy when ur 8 then your mom gives you nothing 5 days later and she scammed you.
I’m still waiting for my dad to pick me up to go to toys R us, I’ll never stop waiting.

I only went to toys r us a few times as a kid, but I still remember my mom buying me a little cleaning cart set because I said I *really* wanted it. I treasured it for the year-ish I had it, and then I started losing pieces, but I love the ones I had
I looked it up a while ago, and that same set was like $50 when she bought it. Which I guess isn't a lot for toys r us, but it will always hold a special place in my heart. I still remember the smile on my face putting it together in her office and pretending to clean up. It's one of my happiest memories there
"Hey, this looks cool, mom. Can I get this?"
"Sure thing!"
I actually live in Canada but I wanted to give this a try

An adult? Why do I have to be an adult? I'm 15 and spent my whole childhood at toys-r-us, I was devastated when I heard they were closing down..
Currently watching in 2022, and this video brought tears to my eyes, I remember running around the aisles getting lost amongst the electronics section and being amazed at the Xboxes, the DVDs and playing around with the rideable cars. I remember this one part of the store that i would never see as it was too far away from where my parents would go. I still have a little batman computer i got from there when I was 7. When they shut down, at first I was mostly unscathed but it hit me eventually which brings me to today. I never knew how much I would miss going to that place and the last day i went it was almost heartbreaking to see it. The giant promotional poster was still up but the shelves were filled with the random stuff that kids would put back because they couldn't afford it. Everything was mostly empty and it shakes me how empty and unnatural it felt. They were selling just about everything, there was even a sign to buy the building that housed the place. At first it was a spirit halloween which I predict was what happened to a majority of the abandoned toys r us' that eventually moved over to the christian store across the street. Now it's a hardware store and a boot barn and i dare not go in there. If i were i would probably collapse in tears over what has become of the abode of memories from my childhood. I'm sorry it was long but this moved me
❤ my friend
I remember walking around looking at all the toys.... I remember this song playing while walking around the store in the summer.... Holding my mom's hand, flip flops on, you would walk in and there would be this cool breeze... I remember my mom would always say "Just looking". Walking down the isles felt magical to me, I remember I always wanted one of those big cars to drive around in. Most of the time we would leave empty-handed but when I got to buys something it was definitely magical.... It was so hard to pick something. I remember on our birthdays my and my sister would get a happy birthday card from there.... I'm going to start crying....
I can see everyone has come back to pay their respects.
All those memories coming back 😭

You know how there is always that one "innocent" kid who seems never to grow up and see how terrible things can be? I wish I was that kid. I wish I didn't know better.
This hurts hard, I always thought of myself as that one kid who grew up too fast and tried to use the childish humor, failing horribly. Only recently did I become an adult, but even years ago I felt the nostalgia from what little past I had. I missed the time unboxing the Wii, a console I sometimes play even today, and popping in mariokart, and just having fun. I never had an xbox or playstation, but I wouldn't change anything, I just want to relive my past.
I can relate also, I feel like grew up too fast.
Joe Mama Dude, I never had an Xbox or PlayStation either! I only had a Wii and I still play it today. Playing games like LEGO Batman, Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows, Wii Sports, etc. brings back memories and makes me feel old. And I’m only 18.
WeatherOne Alpha Whiskey Makes me wanna cry sometimes. Thinking about good memories that I’ll never be able to relive again.
I was that kid, but not so much anymore.
This is nostalgic to me not because of toys r us (Kmart is an influence) it's because this was one of my childhood songs. Makes me remember Kmart and the hills i grew up in.

Last time I went I there, we were freeing a present for my little cousin’s birthday. I was 12. I remember looking at all the Lego and playmobil sets and dreaming of having them all. I remember marvelling at all the playmobil sets. I remember looking at all the art supplies at the entrance and looking at all the stuffed toys and stuff. I wish I coulda go back there now.
I always wanted to go...
Wish never came true...

But it was so sad to see all the “CLOSING, NO RETURN” signs literally everywhere, the shelves were just about empty, everyone looked so sad, and especially the little kids there who wouldnt experience growing up with the best toy store in the world.

“We didn’t know we were making memories, we were just having fun”
-Running around ToysRUs with light sabers and getting in the children cars:(
Alfie Dawe 🥺🥺
Oh my gosh my siblings and I would always get in the children’s cars and just pretend to drive them and fight over the cool ones
Why that making me Cry?
Winnie the pooh
My parents were too cheap for that lol 😂
Canada: “We have have better health care system “
America : “Whatever “
Canada: “We still have Toys R Us”
America: *Sheds unstoppable tears*
y e s. ❤
To hell with a better Heath care system I’m just moving to Canada for toys r us
Canada actually doesn't have a better healthcare and it's hard to even live there with taxes up the ass
Literally 2 great reasons to move to canada
Welp looks like I'm moving to Canada
Even though I live in Canada, and we still have Toys R Us up here, I still get sad as I know that going into one will never be as magical or as amazing as it used to once be, and that eventually I will never be able to go into one, and Toys R Us will just be a memory, a distant one, but a good one none the less...
I will never get over this. It gives me the most wonderful nostalgia and I often listen to it when I feel anxious or sad :‘)
Grandson: Hey grandma? What’s Toys R Us?
Me: *sheds a tear* Every kid’s dreamland
That is so true..😔
It’s so sad to imagine a whole generation of kids didn’t experience the joys of toys r us :(
Amen~ Amen!
So very sad that our grandkids won't get to experience that sheer joy....
I never went to Toys R Us as a kid but I wanted to go, but when I could I was going to go the next week, the next week it shut down 😔🥺😭
"Hey, need help with anything?"
"No, just looking"
damn, the memories
Maybe if we all bought something instead of just looking every time, they'd still be in business. 😔
@@dorothyjosefina so true
@@dorothyjosefina we did what we could
We can still relish the memories
IVE NEVER BEEN TO A TOYS R US OMG WR ONLY HAD K MART WHERE I LIVE AND ITS CLOSED DOWN NOW 😭🤚
I remember back then when I wanted to buy something, I'll have to call my dad first, get his permission then buy the thing I want
Most of the time it doesn't work
An empty Toys-R-Us is really a sad thing. You walk around and think about all of the kids who must have had the time of their lives there. All the toys, bicycles, playhouses sold there. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter. And now everything is gone. Empty containers sit on empty shelves. All of that happiness is replaced with emptiness. And as you walk through, you realize that life is truly temporary.
this makes me so sad to the point where i wanna cry but can’t and it hurts
Plot Twist: The song played on the speakers on its own because of how lonely it feels inside the store
Like an SCP-
dayuhm now *thats* sad
Darkest Lune what if it was like the endless ikea but a endless toys r us and hey there deliah is in a endless loop and also no monsters
@@TheHipHopCat so basicly a more innocent Endless Ikea
501.... Sorry for ruining the even number! I just liked your comment so much--
You never realise how much you love something, until it’s gone.
Rip I'm fucking feelings
Sad, but true
Nothing Normal I’m actually having a mental breakdown help
Like toilet paper
And when, it's back you realized why you didn't care for it and it was expensive as hell
I remember hearing about the day Toys R Us was closing down. I remember sitting back and just sighing. I never thought this day would come. I used to go there to the one about 15 miles from my old home and my mom would let us “just look but not buy” but if we were well behaved, we’d get a prize.
I remember feeling this bliss whenever I was there. I didn’t think much of it.
But now as I’m getting older and older, I realize how important those memories and moments truly were. And I’m so lucky I was able to experience them.
Thank you.
I feel like I lost a part of myself
So, this is how it feels to grow up ?
Yes most likely
Marlona Deutsch sadly
Technically but instead your childhood doesn't exist anymore
Huh I guess
*I hate it let me go back*
Peter Pan was right all along
Why is this recommended in August 2020 and why does it fit the current mood so damn well....
It does, hope you’re ok and survive
Nostalgia, thats why
Bobby McFluffy pretty much sums it up
Because it represents something you have so many positive memories going to and visiting, but now you can not go there, as it is not an option any more.
As they say "You do not know that you will miss something, until it is gone".
2018 wanted to remind us of the sucky things in the past
Before any pandemics, depression, anxiety, hard times....
Life was good

Before I ran away, before I had an addiction, before I almost died, before everything, I jus wanted a motorized nerf gun
Hmm I wanted the LEGO start wars stuff but idk about all that other stuff
Hustlen I hope your not joking because it’s not funny if you are
I hope your ok and I feel you a lot.
@@ZoeMes you know he's not joking like stop thinking it's a joke
@@ZoeMes yes it's wrong to say that but he's just saying he healthy
This feels like more than an end to Toys R Us. This feels like the end of a childhood that will never come back. Your childhood is over and you are only left with the memories you treasure the most. Toys R Us was just one of those where you felt like you had infinite possibilities to walk away with. Who knows what you might find there. It's just a bittersweet memory that will stick with you for the rest of your adult life. You will never have that sense of wonder anymore, but you're glad you had it in the first place.
Anyone else longing for the simpler times? Wake up and get dressed in any outfit you saw. maybe it was a Dinosaur t-shirt and shorts, or perhaps a frilly skirt and a sparkly top. you didn't care what you looked like, just that you were comfortable. You go downstairs and eat breakfast, it doesn't matter that its sugary and full of calories, cause nothing tastes better on a bright Saturday morning than a bowl of froot loops that you begged your mom for last time you were at the store. Who cares if you gain a little weight? you run to the playground, and make friends within seconds. same age and favorite color? perfect recipe for besties! When you get home you throw off your shoes and fight with your siblings over who gets to play on the DS first. You get it and spend hours just having fun. I mean, there's plenty of time to waste when you don't have to worry about homework. No one cared what you looked like, who you were, and for just a short period of your life, you didn't care either. After reading this, you'll go back to reality. I don't need to remind you of what reality is like, but I'll leave you with the wise words of some guy in a book I read: "I don't want you to miss out on the blessings of now, worrying about the blessings tomorrow". Tomorrow comes quick you guys. don't waste your days wishing tomorrow would come. spend tomorrow reminiscing at how fun filled your childhood was....
Outstanding comment. It just captures everything. I too long for these... brighter times.
