Throughout the course of civilization, mankind has. always innovated, pushed to be stronger, faster, better in.

the realm that matters most. Toys. Mm-hmm. But in light of all that innovation, have we forsaken. any gems that deserve more time In the sun? It's time for terminated Toys. Judgment Day. Okay, boys up first. You have silly slammers. These debuted 1998 and annoyed moms everywhere. by having a custom Fraser sound. they elicited when slammed or thrown, and we. tested these beforehand. Some of them work, some of them don't.

Uh, it's up to you to slam 'em and, and fig, figure, figure it out. How hard's the slam gotta be? You keep me in stitches. Don't keep me in stitches. Oh, a little. Get it a little. Let me be frank with you. Can I be frank with you? He's got multiple phrases. It's just, that was just a laugh, not a phrase. Uh, going comment. So this one works. So it's, it's, it's like a. You keep me in stitches. You keep me in stitches. It's a hilarious beanie baby. This is how you comedians can keep their confidence.

I think it's how little boys can like, save. money on therapy. Oh yeah. Who needs therapy? My stepsister left the toothpaste in my sink. And she's gonna keep doing it. 'cause you've done work. My stepsister told me what a tampon was. Oh yeah. That's not to be celebrated. Hold on. How about this link? Think about 1998 Link. What kind of things did 1998 he, he was a. sophomore in college at NC State University.

What kind of things was he dealing with that he. might want to have taken out on little babies? Uh, slam. Silly slam. Silly slammers. My stepsister gave me tampons. Yes. Wow. Let's see if I can get it to work. Uh, I'm so tired of taking my bike to class. That's what I was, I was, I was thinking about. Maybe I should start walking. Hmm. Why didn't everyone tell us that. everyone else walks, but me and my roommate,

we just ride our bikes around campus like dorks. Why don't any of these work? Call me Harry. Huh? Call me Harry. There it is. Is there something about the mouth on this one that. disturbs you a little bit? Oh yeah. You get a close up of that. Let's just see how many--. I'm a little frustrated. that they don't. Why I oughtta!

Practice swing. Why did he say pregnant? Whoa, hold on. He just played a guitar. Is that yours? Look at the size of that divit. Oh, he's a golf golfer. Look at the size of that divit. Oh, this one. This guy. My, it's my pregnant swing. I think this one has had its last sound ever. We paid $132 for this. We're going to bang every single one of 'em. We banged them all. We banged them all. Unlike 1998, it was quite the opposite.

Yeah, right. I don't really care. I mean for these, our success rates low. Yeah. But if they all worked, if they all worked, would we be happy? No. It encourages violence and--. No, I think it lets you take out violence. I think that things that encourage you to like, have you ever met a person--. It's a release. A person who's a head banger? Yeah, they're nice. They're always so nice. Yeah. Except when they're head banging. Yeah. They're so, they're so aggressive. All right. Silly slammers.

Bring them back, for therapy. Up next is another violent toy from 1998 Bullfrog with two Gs. and interactive plush that can tell the difference between. how you interact with him. Don't interrupt her. She doesn't like it. Take a look at the commercial Bullfrog. can tell the difference between a little twist. Let go of light hug and a great big twist. Quiet down you two. A little squeeze and a really big squeeze. It is bedtime.

Bull can tell a little tickle from a big, big tickle. Hey, you two, it's bedtime. Whoa. Bullfrog, the cuddly friend, new from Ohio Art. He can tell a little bounce fist from a great big one. Too fast. Too fast. So, okay. The frog mom is not included, right? She just came in the door for a second. I don't, do you want frog mom? I don't want frog mom. That's not what I was saying at all. I mean, we do have a green motif today. We do. And he fits right in. Uh, it seems like that this thing is total, whoops.

Totally designed to help kids that are too. rough with like Frogs. Frogs. Yeah. To learn. Which is, which is like a thing from where I'm. from doesn't work at all, but turn the thumb. I think maybe this thumb, maybe you don't have the magic touch. Okay. Add, add something in post. He was talking. Uh uh.

I'm gonna open them up. Squeeze the fly on my big toe. I'm gonna open 'em up and move some wires around. Okay. 1998. This thing's been around, but. we paid $60 for it. I, I mean, it died right in front of us. Oh my God. I think it's because we were, oh, watch that. I got it. Okay, here we go. Now... He's only. His toe. He's lost feeling at every place he took his toe. Oh my gosh. What about twisting his belly button?

Punching him. What else does it do? Uh, squeeze his tongue. Press on his toe with the fly. Tickle his tummy. Turn him up. Turn him upside down. Now that's not working. Him upside down. Slammed him hard one time. That's too hard. You can clap his hands. On the knee. I mean, we have witnessed the death of this thing. I think he just need to be shaken up a little. Back off!

What was that English? It's just his toe, dude. Ah....... This is a.. What thing? A lameer Tickle me Elmo. Okay. Here's the thing. There's a click that's actually happening there. What? So I think I need to find the click. Oh yeah, that french fries. Yeah. You have to know how to touch the frog, Link. And he's supposed to give you feedback if it's too hard.

Yeah. Yeah. Here we go. You have to, it is gentle. It's gentle, but yeah. Precise. Good lovers know how to communicate. Yeah. Not so rough please. Okay. Did you call me daddy? Not so rough, daddy. Don't call me daddy. The main thing that I noticed, can you play the very. beginning of the commercial? I could not, it, Stevie, this is your voice. I think with a little more age, but the voiceover. is Stevie.

Bullfrog can tell the difference between a little twist. Let go of my tongue. So stop it now. You said it. Bullfrog can tell the difference. Really? I think that's--. No, that's you Stevie, is it? That's what you sound like to everyone else. Keep playing it. Twist, quiet down you two. A little squeeze and a really big squeeze. Yeah, it's bedtime. Bull can tell. a little tickle from a big, big tickle. Tell me about your little and big tickle Stevie.

A little tickle from a big, big tickle. It's the same tone and everything. Same tone. It's exactly. This is you. And you know what? You talking woke the frog up. Let go of my tongue. What? I can't talk. Let go of my tongue. Oh, let go. Let go. Back off. Let go, let go. Let go. Let go. Let go. Go.

I got, I mean, what is this teaching? Be violent with a frog is what it's teaching. Yeah. There's frogs out there with distinct tongues all in the. late nineties because of this. You, you did turn it back on though. Yeah, I did. It was a combination of my touch and Stevie's. voice. Bullfrogg with two Gs at the end. I, what are we feeling? I, I just think that. Uh, I don't know if we need this again. Uhuh Bullfrogg. Nah, that's whack.

You know, we've been trying to make you. laugh all these years. Trying so hard. Oh, gosh. So hard and occasionally succeeding. But you know what we wanted to do? We wanted to turn the. tables and so we created something called Try To Make. Rhett and Link Laugh over on the Mythical Society where. we got your jokes delivered to us by some of our very. funny Mythical crew members. Did you succeed maybe, or if you didn't submit, did. other people succeed or fail? You can laugh at them or laugh at us. There's lots of laughs to be had.

Go over to the Mythical Society now. or after this episode. Up next, a doll to fuel your nightmares. This is What's her face, produced from 2001 to 2003. No face. A doll that comes without a face, but with. a set of markers so you can draw it yourself. What's her face? I mean, and this is what they put as like. the, where's the nose? They didn't even put a nose on there. Women don't need noses or names. What's her face? And just call her.

What's her face, man? What's her face? Okay. Um, so there are these little stamps if you want to like. follow an actual template. Oh my God, this is exactly what I wanted. Yeah. Many a disappointed young girl in the early two. thousands received this instead of a Barbie. Faceless Barbie. But if, you know, if you need a Barbie, the. Barbie gives you that smug look so hard to get out.

Fix that please. There we go. Um, why don't you do a stamp, why don't you do the, the, the suggested method. Oh my God, what is this? Some sort of--. It is a red light therapy mask. It's like a torture. I've seen it on TikTok. I know it anywhere. Um, so when I take this off. Well, no, I think it's a template. Put it up there. And so now I know. Okay, where the eyes go, there's two of those at. the top half of the head, and then there's a mouth.

at the bottom of the head. These markers are old man. I think we also have new markers. We brought some other ones. Yeah. Look what she looked. Oh, oh yeah. She's so pretty. Let me give her some purple eyes. I think the main use of this would be. I mean, I need a nose. I just need, I need to give her a nose. Tell me something and I'll tell you how I. feel by the doll. Okay. Because you're nonverbal. No, it's not necessarily that. It's just this is a way to get people to communicate.

via visuals and, you know, sometimes, sometimes. it's easier for two adult men to communicate. with each other. Via a doll face. All right. Tell me, tell me how you feel. Well, you have to give, give, give me. something to feel about. This one reminds me of you. Okay. Okay. Just a big gaping hole from her mouth in a big nose. You want me to tell you how that feels? I mean, these makes me feel, are these, yeah. Tell me. Tell me how that makes you feel.

Wow, that's beautiful. Let's start over though. Supposedly your doll, Link. You can dip her hair in water and it changes her hair. Okay. See, I got this ice water here. I'm very happy. This makes me very happy. I mean, this is, this is a Blumhouse. franchise waiting to Oh. Waiting to re smell the hair.

Oh, Ooh. It smells like BO, smells like BO. It smells like BO, what? Like plane BO, you know when you've been on a aircraft? Yeah. There's a little bit of, Ooh. Oh, that thing is so you can put the stamps. in the right place. That's what that's for. 'cause the stamps fit these little butterfly. and heart things. I didn't, I didn't really change color, did it? Oh look, you can wipe her straight off here. Shh.

Go to sleep. I mean, she can't drown. She doesn't have a mouth. That's, or knows she's drowning already. Tell me something else to feel something about. Isn't that funny? Give me something to feel. This doll is drowning in its own face. Gimme, gimme something to feel, man. You just won a, um, a jumping contest. You jumped really high. Okay? Thank you for that. You know what I'm gonna do?

No, I'm gonna get rid of the hair. The hair didn't change color as far as I could tell. No, it went from dry to wet. I'm confused. It went from dry to wet. There you go. I'm confused as to what a jumping contest is. I mean, I'm gonna try to actually draw something. That would be good. I'm gonna try the actual thing here. Can you gimme the stamp ink thing? Stamp ink thing? No, no, no. It's over there on the left. Oh. The one that was provided to us?

Yeah. I just want to, I want to give it a chance to, to. use it in the right way. You know, I feel like we've just been playing so fast. and loose with this thing. Okay, here we go. Okay. Maybe that, maybe this is something. Yeah, I think, uh, nice little cute button. Nose, big eyes. Big mouth, big lips. At this point, it looks like a woman with a passie in which.

I'm, this is not, this is disturbing all the way around. I'm not into, there's nothing I can say or do that's gonna. put me in better standing with the doll community. by continuing with this. Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on. But look, look, look, look, look, look, look. This is gonna be good. This is gonna be good. What's gonna, what's, is it gonna be good? Oh, look at that. Look at, she's cute. That's good. That's, she's cute. Now give, but give her, give her a nose though.

Oops. Sorry. Give her a nose. I mean, we had fun with it. What's her face? Sounds a little derogatory. I think we need to work on the name. I don't know why I'm taking the dress off that I just was. seeing how it, so I was just seeing we got work to do here. Uh, but we're committed to it, seeing how it was. Therefore, we are saying, what's her face? Doll, bring it, bring it back. Last up, we have Gip Gana, a Parker Brothers. game from 1971.

Let's check out the commercial. Parker Brothers new op is very easy to play. You simply tried to canif your three balls through the. hoops into the other side, and the other guy is a verb. Tries to op his three balls into your side. But while you are ing he's op. He's op. Oh no. You're trying to out him while he's trying to op you. Yeah. So Gip down to your store and grab the new game from. Parker Brothers before they're all op, oh my. From Parker Brothers.

Gnip. Gnop. And Stevie, that was your voice too, right? [gibberish]. Yeah. Gnip Gnop. I love the packaging. I mean, Link. Do you know what? Early seventies, you know where that is? Backwards. Psychedelic, uh, Gnip Gnop backwards is um, pointless. Ah, you didn't fall for it. Nope. It's ping pong. When he gnips, you gnop. Were those the actual Parker brothers in the commercial?

All right, listen, I've always looked up to him. Do you, are you gnip, and I'm gnop. So are you ready to try to Gnip while I gnop? Yep. 3, 2, 1. Whoa, you did a unison. You got one over. you, you all I, oh, I got hold. No, I had all three over there. I can nip before you get knocked. I get knocked before you get nipped. So. Alright, so now you're gonna g nip the other color. Y you really? You really have the advantage of orient how.

of your orientation is more ready to, okay, move it over this way, gnip. Like now I, now I'm fully oriented to Gnop. Okay. Okay. 3, 2, 1. Ah, see I beat you. 'cause I had the proper orientation. I think it might be the, the, uh, the, uh, the balls.

Yeah, you gotta have balls. It's the balls. No, it's not. You think it is? Alright, let's test that theory. Uh, do you think that maybe the balls have, maybe. the, the green balls have. Or better is what you saying. What're saying, uh, they, they work better in the system. See, what I think is, let me put this back together. I think that this angle's better, so I'm gonna give. you the ones that you don't think work Here. Why don't we just do it completely sideways, okay. Like this. Alright, that's, that's fair. Alright. Okay.

So you think that you're gonna lose because those. balls aren't as good? Yeah, I think those balls are lighter. Okay, but you're still oping it doesn't matter what, what color your balls are I? Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna GNip. Okay. 3, 2, 1. Go. see one up. Yeah. These, these. See I'm these big balls. I'm actually gonna send yours back over there. Oh, okay. Well, it's too late. Hold on. This is almost getting fun. Well, now they're all over there.

This, this got fun for a second. Yeah. Yeah. I, I love getting up. It really did happen. And if it makes you feel as good as this looks, you know, it's like if you're in psyched, that would be awesome. But this is the thing about being a kid in the seventies. I, I'm sorry. You cannot be over 14 and play this. It says eight is eight to 14. Now, we were born in the seventies. Don't remember much about it, but I would say this applies. to kids in the eighties. We were given things like this and then just they, they were.

given to us and then we were told to just be okay with it. for like an entire afternoon. Like this was supposedly outside. Go outside with it. This was supposed to keep us occupied for. an entire afternoon, and somehow it would. Now you didn't have a brother, right? Me and my brother would've done this. There would've been a few fights. Yeah. I mean, but you can take this off and you know, you. know, here's, here's a hole, here's a hole, here's a hole. Right. Uhhuh, you know, oh look. There you go. You take it out. You could wear 'em his glasses with an extra,

extra eye, wear his glasses. Yeah, you're done. You know, you can, I feel like we can really, brass knuckles. Bring this back. Brass knuckles. And one of you could be bra cover. One of you could be Gnip and one of you could be Gnop. Oh, I'm, I'm Gnip. Okay. And then just, okay. And, and we're bringing back Gnip Gnop, it's now, uh, owned by Hasbro. So. Okay. Why don't we just speak to Hasbro and see if you. can be Gnip anf Gnop. Hi brah. This is your boy Gnap and Gnip. This is your guy. I'm Gnip.

Gnop. I'm first. I'm first. I'm gonna up. Yeah. I'm, I'm getting Gnip, I'm gonna up. We're, we're willing to legally change our. names to Gnip and Gnop. To be the official spokesman for the game. That is our namesake, and that'll be the whole campaign. Did you hear that Rhett and Link are now Gnip and Gnop? Yep. Yep. Did you hear that? They actually, well actually Rhett and Link. are now Gnop and Gnip. That's right. But Links first now. That's right. That's part of the campaign. That's right. Links First. He's wearing glasses that have an extra hole on the side.

That's part of the campaign as well, so people can come. up and see what he's seen. It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Uh, so call us out. Hasbro and I have a pool at my house, and if the Parker. Brothers are still around 59, I mean, based on that. video, I would think they're probably about 58 or 59. Yeah. Um, maybe 62, 63. We'd like to hang out with them. If you are still in touch, it's a lot easier. without, without the, um, it's easier when their. ball's on your side. That's the slogan.

It's easier when there ball's on your side. You win when your. When the balls, if you've got the balls, you might win. No, it's for all. It's just for boys. You give your balls up. No, this is not, we don't, Nope, we're, we're not gonna do that. Okay. So we are saying Gnip and gnop, bring it back. Hasbro with us. Yep. We brought a lot of stuff back. Oh yeah. We're, I know. You know, we're like powerful. We're toy moguls. Gnip. Ah, you're gonna, yeah. Hey, listen, if you, if you wanna call.
