  • they let you play the games before you buy them thats crazy. how come they dont let you play the games at gamstop

  • i love that this is from "circa 1998"... yet it SCREEEEAAAMMMS 1985

  • Funcoland was the tits. Gamestop is where idiots shop.

  • It's a shame that this store was swallowed up.

  • Funcoland was the sh*t! Even though their trade in value was sh*t but hey.

  • The guy in the first minute is acting like his boss caught him looking at porn. All nervous.

  • hey adam whats in those boxes?

    all the games we cant sell. :/

  • Holy shit, I really miss the 90's. Such a wholesome era.

  • Adam clean those nostrils with a Cleaning Kit.

  • The first time he talks to the guy , you can kinda of see the son to the side. He's present before hand , just not very noticeable.

  • Hate to 'sperg' as they say, but the background music @1:17 - @2:58 ,@4:08 - @5:24, @6:42 - @7:28 (and appears in Part 2 at 2:29 - 2:55) was done by Tom Milano and Don Great for the b-movie "Mutant Hunt", released 11 years before this training video. Also @2:59 - @3:10 was another piece they did for another 80s b-movie: "Breeders". Both films were produced by Charles Band's Empire Pictures, which leads me to believe that he had a hand in making this.

  • Game cleaning kit? Windex and a box of Q-tips? Shit Funcoland had everything!

  • God, this is so 90's it has Pogs, Michael Jordan, Grunge rock, and torn-knee jeans written all over it!

  • I worked at the Brooklyn, NY store in 1991

  • the face paint is ATROCIOUS

    

  • My god this shit is so fuckin terrible...

  • Who else yawend when he did at the beginging?

  • no my one weakness!... 90s cgi it burns! IT BURNS!

  • Just in case you're wondering, he was playing CastleVania Adventure on the Game Boy at the beginning. First stage.

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH THE AUDIO?!

  • "offered a Cleaning Kit with every purchase" hmmm.... I remember trading shit into funcoland and buying shit FROM funcoland, but I don't remember them EVER offering me a cleaning kit when I bought shit from them. (then again, I was seven when this Employee training video was distributed to the future gamestop stores, so I probably don't remember it)

  • Honest game reviews, customer service, full and neat stock of games. Just look at what you've become gamestop. You've let yourself go too far.

  • Damn it I miss the 90's. The cheapest, shittiest, video ever and I love it.

  • This video just screams gay porno. I think it is gay porn with the sex scenes removed...

  • isn't the boss Gerry from Parks & Recreation

  • Damn i hate this type of sellers!

  • 6:33 b-but, I don't have a son...

  • bleh crusin USA is terrible, get top gear rally! its right there on the top right

  • Maaaan salespeople are the worst. "Plant the seed for system maintenance"? Jeez.

  • Is this a training video or an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?

  • HE WAS PLAYING CASTLEVANIA

  • Cruis'n USA was never a hot new racing game. It was always just a money waster at the arcades to suck a dollar out of you for three minutes of gameplay.

  • *sigh*i miss when funcoland was around selling xbox,ps2,gamecube,ps1,n64 and not just new gen shit:(

  • @darkone180 but Funcoland was gone by the time ps2,gamecube and Xbox hit shelves.

  • @doomslayer133 actually no,funcoland wasnt closed down till 2002-03 i know because i used to go to one EVERY other week or so

  • @darkone180 well here in Texas it was gone in 1999

  • @darkone180 it was like 03 in michigan as well when they closed

  • TV's Frank worked at Funcoland?

  • @truthseeker0183 I like how you wrote a paragraph, as if i cared.

  • Oh shit its the ultimate warrior watch out kid he already raped santa who knows what he'll do to you

  • Adam Vs. The Juggalo Bossman.

  • That boss makes me think of John Wayne Gacy

  • Pretty sure Adam was gonna get raped in his nightmare by his boss.

  • And that Adam, is why you don't do drugs on the job

  • i had to sit threw this to get min wage

  • @sneakerbootshu Apparently spelling wasn't a big part of the job. :)

  • @aimsx nope i never stated the job

  • Very poorly designed video game in hell

  • how did he know that guy had a son?

  • @MegaFinalRound because in 1998 no one over the age of 10 played videogames duh

  • @MegaFinalRound He totally doesn't look like a child molester and no one that old in the 90s had an N64. Unless maybe they were out to molest children... you know, maybe that's not his son?

  • sell..sell.sell...seal....

  • umm its like ultima 7's vidoes on a toaster.

  • Must resist..no...have to play it loud...blargh..ahhh....curse you gameboy

  • *watches training vid* worst video game, evar.

  • this is both creepy and retarded, kinda like most gamestop employees nowadays

  • Was this really a training video for funcoland? God I miss that store :-(

  • I remember having to watch this awhile back when I first started working there. My manager at the time just sat in the back room with me and we just made fun of how cheesy it was.... I really miss that store...

  • I use to work at a Funco land way back in the days, had a blast there.

  • The guy...like...helps him...then laughs at him.

  • Oh man, the PS1 port of San Francisco RUSH was horrible!......But, I owned it....lol.

  • FuncoLand...Babbages...Stop & Save...

    What say you, oh future of video game retail?

  • i would never go back if an employee bothered me this much

  • i wonder if funcoland used to drug test

  • I remember there store now they got replaced by gamestop! fuck!!

  • Asian women with nice eyes ****lushfmlk.info****

  • FUNCOLAND is way better than gamestop you can always go in there and find many many used items. Then gamestop came along and now when you go into gs you don't even see anything. i'm glad there's this one store like funcoland but it is really small

  • fuck funcoland

  • @rwp86 Nah, fuck Gamestop, and fuck YOU, you fat fucking bitch nigger.

  • Game Gear with case, magnifying glass, mastergear converter, gear-to-gear cable, powerback, battery pack, external power cable, and 10 games for $50? Fuck yes, bring back Funcoland.

  • funcoland was the shit. they let you try out used games before buying them. So you KNEW if it was shitty before buying. FUCK LAMESTOP!

  • @810Wraith wow a lot of people love funcoland i bought most my sega genesis games there. freaking gamestop doesn't even carry the classics like they use to they suck now

  • @shadowtsunami Same here. I miss Funcoland, and I never knew that Golddust worked there.

  • i would not want to work there. If you don't read some paper, you are gonna spend your life in a video game? CRAZY?!?

  • What is this A Bad Blue Screen it is.

  • oh you americans

  • I MISS FUNCOLAND SOOOO AWFULLY BAD! Hell even the old school Electronics Boutique's and Babbages of the 1990's blow gamestop out of the water!!!

    The time is really starting to pass now...

    The very last time I got to go to a Funcoland was early 2003 right before it converted to Gamestop. The nearest one was over an hour drive, and at that time I was still a young teenager who couldn't drive, so going there was always a big trip. Everything was SOOOO cheap at the time, ahhh the shit I passed up!

  • Going to Funcoland was like being a child again. Where else could you see 1000's of NES, SNES, Genesis games, and NOT be in the AVGN's basement??

  • All this just for minimum wage? Fuck that shit!!! Some wacko with crazy makeup on screaming at me for $5./hr?!! Lol.

  • This makes bunny sad ...

  • I wonder what Adam is doing now haha.

  • why is his cubicle so dark?..of course he's gonna get sleepy

  • Funcoland hires drag queen "game masters" to be their managers? Certainly a step up from pretentious college drop outs that Gamestop hires.

  • I use to LOVE those price sheets with all of the games...I still own and the use the Disc Cleaner it shows...Cleans PSX and Sega Saturn games..lol

  • No wonder they went out of business, all the pages in the training manual were blank.

  • @TreesOfBaylor Hilarious

  • @TreesOfBaylor they didnt

  • Here at gamestop we have a new policy its called D.O.U.C.H.E!

  • @Enchurito Deceiving the customer with confusing business practices.

    Overpriced used games that suck.

    Underhanded by selling barely working games and systems and claiming its the customers fault.

    Cheating people out of their money when they sell a game back.

    Hating the customers and making their buying experience suck.

    Excuses for anything to make it not the stores fault!

  • @Enchurito Bought a Genesis from FuncoLand shortly before they changed names.It had all the essential hookups,and was bundled together in saran wrap.That shoulda been my 1st red flag.I got it home,the volume slider fell right off,the inputs in the back didn't work,neither did the power button.And I basically got brushed off 'cos I wasn't buying a PS2 or GC or Xbox.

  • pause at 3:57 "BITCH"

  • Ironically I'm procrastinating by watching this.

  • Cruisin' USA was the shit

  • MAN I LOVED FUNCOLAND!

  • i miss ps1 games

  • Is this shit for real??

  • fuck the gamestop and the ebgames

  • same bullshit as it is today WOW

  • 90 days? damn gamestops 7 days is full of suck

  • Jesus, even before Gamestop started calling themselves Gamestop they were pushing Game Informer on their customers

  • the guy looks like trey parker

  • FUNCOLAND!!! Anyone here remember those little newspapers they had that listed like all the games for nes, snes sega gamboy gamegear and listed all the prices, that was my holy bible after I got done mowing the lawn!

  • Man, watching this makes me hate gamestop even more. there are no alternatives around here, it's either gamestop or walmart/kmart. i order most of my games online to avoid buying from gamestop, you can usually get them for cheaper anyway without all the BS.

  • The jump at 3:25 = epic.

  • This is so fucking trippy...

  • Fucking GameStop and their monopoly.

  • im not sure I would wanna work there after seeing this, its like a nightmare.

  • They probably should've tightened up the graphics a little more on level three.

  • i love thats its actual audio from Castlevania on Gameboy

  • i love thats its actual audio from Castlevania on Gameboy

  • Christ, I forgot how much is blows working retail for major and mid-sized chains. Their employee policies are always written to the lowest common denominator, which usually means that anyone who is smarter than a pile of rocks has to go through a patronizing and demeaning training process.

    "Don't forget to greet the employees!"

    No shit?

  • LMAO

  • LSD

  • how much you want to bet spoony will riff on this

  • At least this time at 0:20 it was a gameboy in his hand and not his junk like the last time the boss found him in the back.

  • looks like doom with sega cd animation

  • 1:22

    THIS is a training video? Not a skit on Lemmy's show or something?

  • "There's only one way out..."

    Quit?  Go work at a better store? Do something other with my life besides retail?

  • this chessey as fuck

  • Cruisn USA....what a terrible game....

  • @aerocabin Are you kidding? It rocked.

  • Man, that was lame. Spoony needs to rip on this one. It's just begging to be mocked by him!

  • @Launchpad05 Agree to the 3rd power

  • That was pretty lame. Spoony needs to tear this one apart. This 'lame training video' is just begging to be mocked by Spoony!

  • I fucking loved working at Funco. I got so many rare games for cash because so man people didn't want credit.

  • "HEH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEH"

  • Omg, I'd be pissed if a Gamestop employee came up to me like that and kept taking I'd be like "I"m fine thanks!"

  • WOO CRUS'N

  • I swear, the beginning sequence is like he just got walked in on pounding off or something

  • truth

  • Why are all training videos so bad.

  • Was this really Funcoland's training video? Because it's fucking creepy and sadistic. Personally, I would have said, "Fuck this!"

  • There's something about adam that reminds me of Sean William Scott

  • Adam: "What brings you in today?"

    Me: "Uh just lookin around"

    Adam: "Ok lemme tell you a bit about Funcoland"

    Me: "Dude, get the fuck outta here......"

  • GameCrazy training video is way more awesome and lame.

  • goddamn, "E" is for rip off the parents who don't know shit about video games

  • Incredible...

  • God, this whole GAMES thing is why I can't stand going to specialty stores like Gamestop.

    I just want to get in there, buy my stuff, and get out. I don't need to be hassled about every little thing, which is why I always go to Best Buy. The only thing anyone ever says to me is "find everything okay?", to which the answer is always YES.

  • Yeah, cocaine rattled jerk-offs like the fat man in this video are what ruin game buying. Luckily, only the most douchey of workers will actually only push stuff on you. At the local EB Games, the guys behind the counter are more interested in smoking pot and not helping you, than they are in up-selling. It's not bad shopping there.

  • @ DocFunky,

    I find Best Buy to be just as bad, at least the one near me. Every time I go in there I feel as if I'm being stalked by the employees. Every clerk I pass just has to ask me if I need help. It's annoying. I usually know what I want and where it is. I expect store clerks to be friendly, but not harassing. If I need help I rather find someone to help me instead of them coming to me first.

  • I used to work at a Best Buy. The number 1 customer complaint is "no one helped me." So our managers were always on our ass to engage EVERY customer

  • Fuck system maintenance.

  • This is like every show Adult Swim has come out with in the last two years.

  • Cartridge cleaning unit = blow on it

  • This is just begging to be made into a Youtube Poop.

  • What The Fuck

  • If this guy tried to spend days talking to me as soon as I walked in, I would just walk out

  • I dunno gamestop and funcoland and the such know who to target.

    They generally don't target the core gamer, besides the edge card which was nice for game informer if you like reading them in the can. I never buy used from gamestop.

  • I miss walls lined with demo stations.

  • This is incredible

  • Comment removed

  • That was painfull to watch. And it confirms that my online shoping of games is the right and only way to go. I hope GameStop dies a slow and painfull and that someone comes and sprinkles salt on the ground it once stod on so nothing will ever come up again from the EVIL that was Gamestop.

  • my god....

  • This video has been lost, but now it has been found. Congrats to everyone for keeping their IPT up above 2.0, and for those high Cleaning Kit, and Subscription percentages!

  • I have scoured the internet high and low for this video for years, my thanks to the uploader for this. The customer reactions to the guy appearing in the store are priceless. I still have my culture card in case I forget!

  • This manager is a dick, the guy makes sales and it's not good enough.

  • This is actually pretty disturbing. The employee was doing a great job not placing extra pressure on the customer and the "manager" was forcing that down his throat. When I get pressured, I get pissed. I hate this video.

  • E is be a complete asshole to the customers and make them buy shit they don't need

  • I remember when games actually looked like this.

    It makes me want to play Zork Nemesis or something...

  • MEMES! MEMES!! LET THEM BEGIN!!!

  • I miss funcoland so much

  • @gwiz210 there is still one and that is in waldorf md

  • Chuck Simmons!!

  • Game Informer accurate review scores? HA!

  • Scary shit man. What an awful game.

  • I remember watching this. Yes, this is actually real and we were forced to watch it.

  • wow this some crazy mind controlling shit, I hope you were cracking up as you watched this

  • Did that fat guy say "I am the gay master?"???

  • @Joeki11a You know damn well he said "I am the game master"

  • sound was low on my PC, he looked like some

    freak ready to get some fresh meat in his

    dungeon lol
