I think it was the way it looked and the way it was held. They took a tape recorder and made it cool. I'd like to see a new version in digital with the same design. It would rule!
i still got mine, and my sis still has her pink one... the simple fun this thing provided, slow your voice or record in slow and on normal it made your voice high
So rad man, I had one of these from my 9th Birthday. haha. I used it to try and convince my cousins their parents were ready to pick them up. I even mimicked the "Hi Kids, We're Home Early line one time too. Haha."
Mine lasted a week after Christmas when my brother ran away with it and it broke the tape. I never got a replacement and never got it fixed, I was four or five.
I used to call my friend's house at 3:00 AM and play the slo-mo recordings of me, acting as a psychopath who claimed to have broken into his house, telling him I was hiding in his basement. Can't do it nowadays, with caller ID and possible jail time. Oh, to be 13 again.
Yeah this is the only memory I have of seeing a kid in a movie playing with something that I could actually ask my mom to buy me, haha. We all wanted to be badass like Macaulay Culkin.
OMG I remember watching this commercial like it was yesterday, i wanted one sooo bad even though i wouldn't have had anybody to blackmail. The simple times =/
i had 2 of these but I lost them. I want my talkboy back. I found the guts of one in an old backpack from high school but I tossed it b/c it didnt work. i kept the pack and a few things that was in it.
I've managed to misplace my Talkboy, my Yakbak, my Yakbakwards, my Buzz Lightyear, my Turboman doll, and my crash test dummies set since I was young. D: WTF WHERE DID IT ALL GO!?!?!? The Crash Test Dummies was AMAZING. The little car's doors and wheels popped off, the hood cracked open, the bumpers flew off, the wheel came off and an airbag was underneath, and the dummies exploded. XD So inventive and gruesome at the same time. But oh so fun to see a reaction from crashing your toy into a wall..
Oh god... this thing was so friggin' expensive, and it was the only thing any kid wanted after Home Alone came out. Now that I've seen it again, it looks like the least fun "toy" I've seen in a while.
creepy voice: "Hi Kids...we're home earlyyy" sounds so contrived, i remember seeing this commercial many a time, and another poster mentioning a Yak Bak i think I had one of those things but forgot what its purpose was
lol if i remember right it was a non working prop and they made it into a toy AFTER the movie due to the popularity. I used to blast ACDC out of my talkboy when I was like 8, man I was cool...
(low deep voice) Hi, Im Peter Mcallister, the father, id like a hotel room please with an extra large bed, a TV, and one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key, Credit card you got it.
one of my favorite lines in this movie. I wish I still have my talkboy I had 2 of them one was taken apart and the other one went missing.
Man, I miss my talkboy. I got that for christmas back in 1993, and my god, I used it SO MUCH, that I think I broke it. I'd record my parents talking, I'd sing, I used to record the tv and movies, God I loved that thing. I wonder what happened to it, lol.
the slow one DOES infact sound like an overweight child mollester! Man I want one of these, but I really like those voice changers you can use ova da fone.
Yeah, I use to fuck around with it by recording something on TV with the Switch on the slow setting, and when I played it on the normal speed, it made the audio sound fast
When I was a kid, I never fully understood where "Hey! Stop drooling on me!" came from because it didn't look (nor sound) like the girl was saying it.
Haha... I forgot all about this commercial! I used to have some variation on the talkboy... It was like a mini one or something (I haven't got a clue what happened to it... It's LONG gone, unfortunately)
These kinds of toys (digital recorders, tape players, voice changers, etc.) have always been my favorite.
how stupid are those kids that they cant here that little turd recording himself 10 feet from them, then sneaking up and clicking the loud ass play button next to their ears... lol
OMG this commercial is bringing back so many memories! i remember wanting a Talkgirl so bad cuz Kevin in Home Alone 2 looked so cool with his Talkboy. That was a genius little gadget they created in the movie.
I remember that clip XD.I had one of those,I cant seem to find it sadly.I think maby it wore out X).I remember the talkgirl too,it was such an ugly pink.
I must have had three or more of these things, mot of them were gray except for a translucent blue one I had and most of them broke but I have one in working condition still.
Ah yes, Talk Boy.... After Home Alone 2 you couldn't get one of these to save your life, and they were WAY overpriced. A couple years later they came out with the "Yak Back" which was basically the same thing, but with reverse play. Got one of those!
lol HEEYY stop drooling on me! (door closes) Hi kids we're home early, man i miss this thing i changed the speaker in mine but i lost this thing if i had this thing today id probably play my iPod thru it via cassette adaptor, id make mine rap lol
