VINTAGE 80'S TOYS R US COMMERCIAL I DON'T WANNA GROW UP, I'M A TOYS R US KID

[ParkerJacobs]

Much of it was shot on the same day. I'd love to find the grown up version too. That was shot it 1996.

[rdaquan1]

....sooo was that jaleel white on the swing set 30 years ago???lol

[swanglang420]

0:24 "more gay for toys"?

[Fusionx916]

all the kids in this video are in their 30s rofl

[tar1982]

Mama from throw mama from the train watches this commercial before screaming at Danny Devito. I think she watches kids playing, then gets pissed off, then starts taking it out on him for no reason.

[BACK2UL8R]

@scgtlp:

I remember that one...late 90's early 00's and they played it during Christmas I can't find it anywhere though. Not even a mention of it! :(

[WildBillKMan]

This commercial has another noticeable trademark as being of the 80's. That mechanical clown you see at :03 behind the girl on the train is the exact same one featured in the first episode of Small Wonder! When Vicki enters the store in which Jamie is already in she walks up to a robotic monkey and mimics it, and then she walks over to this clown and does the same to him. I'm sure others have noticed this, but I am surprised I'm the first one on this site to mention it!

[bmendler707700Fan]

And now they ARE grown up. :P

[Edmart3ROBLOX]

So...When thier parents die...They have no more cash cause they cant grow up? (This is for fun...)....Uhhh............BEW­BZ!!!!!

[sillylycia]

I watched this yesterday and dodnt even realize it was uploaded like 2 days ago

[liliamy2192]

This song becomes annoying after you work for the company .

[jzygorodimos]

Throw mama from a train

[elchicho25]

 URKEL ON A SWING!!!

[divafwuff]

@elchicho25 LOL!!!!

[zenigami]

0:13 The Shining?

[StreetRat9380]

And this is still part of the stupid training video that they showed us at orientation..... -_- How sad...

[chesschaser]

Old-School

[blackbirdarising]

Is the link with the kids grown up on youtube?

[swimmerB0B]

its to remind them of the good old days when they didn't owe all their clients tons of money..... when they finally get shut down (inevitable folks), they won't be leaving too many friends behind....

[1nerdandhisvideos]

Aww I would love to know what happened to the kids

[devron]

@1nerdandhisvideos I don't know what happened to all of em, but I can tell you what happened to one of em. Jaleel White @ :25.

[1nerdandhisvideos]

@devron Where's he in life now then?

[devron]

@1nerdandhisvideos Besides getting residuals from Family Matters, he's doing some voice acting work.

[1nerdandhisvideos]

@devron Sounds pretty reasonable from an 80's advert, thanks for the info, cheers

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who saw this on TV! I saw it a little over a month ago. I tried to tell my dad about it, but he just looked at me like I was crazy. Oh well.

[shaunb3410]

the ironic part is this is a old commercial so there like in there 20"s now ALL GROWN UP

[IRevealTheMagic]

@shaunb3410 more like mid to late 30's

[videogameobsession]

I just saw this commercial in crystal clear HD on TV. I guess they must have restored it from the original film negative. It's really cool to see the exact same commercials you saw as a kid on tv today in HD!

I wish more companies would do this.

[philiptwood]

@videogameobsession Yep... I just saw it as well... I was shocked that they're using it again.

[TheVictim714]

saw this commercial 2 days ago. here in Cali. omg, Jenny Lewis is adorable.

[scgtlp]

does anybody know of the toys-r-us commercial where the adults play with the kid versions of themselves? like at the end of the song, a little girl hits a baseball with her bat and the adult version of herself catches it? i think it's from the late 90s or the early 00s....

[mickey1781]

thats urkel from Family Matters on the swing lol

[MzTJones80]

Can you believe this commercial came on tv 3 days ago here in the D.C. area??? When I saw it, I was like, "Isn't this old???" LOL Just to be sure, I looked on here and sure enough, it's an 80's commercial. Thanks for the memories!

[jcsmothers]

@MzTJones80 I know it came on in Ms about 3 days ago as well....lol very creepy!!! I love it

[skilled954]

Wasn't there a commercial they did in the 2000's that had these now adults singing this song?

[titanramfan]

@skilled954 Yes, there was, and that's exactly what I was looking for on here right now! I'll come back and share if I find it.

[titanramfan]

@skilled954 Dang, no luck.

[DeathGodRiku]

you know what the funny thing is, I just saw this commercial on TV. I could tell by how it looked that it wasn't a commercial from this millenia.

[SOBE702]

Isn't that Urkel from Family Matters

[MzTJones80]

@SOBE702

Yeah, that's him. LOL

[bofo85]

i'm still a Toys R Us kid, even at 26. i was just there a few weeks ago to buy Arkham City =D but man, does this commercial bring back memories. is the Geoffrey the Giraffe still around?

[GreatMewtwo]

@bofo85 Yes, Geoffery the Giraffe is still used, but in a CGI form like many other mascots.

[comgeek24]

I just saw this during a commercial break for the new "Let's Make A Deal". I can't believe they're showing these again (although totally psyched they are :)). And, I am proud to say that my Mom worked here around this time (mid '80s). Yes, you can hate me now :)

[KahToh2010]

Little Urkel!

[Kissmetwiceashard]

I just saw this on the tv. WOW I didn't know they would show these again.

[todyboy100]

do the kids well they not kids no more do they get pay again since the air the commercial again

[todyboy100]

i just saw the commercial too i glad they did the old throw back this was my favorite commercial when i was a kid

[dasanian]

I just saw the commercial on tv too on NBC. I was wondering what is going on? So amazing!

[Cazzers]

I just saw this commercial on tv. It was like reliving a moment of my childhood.  Awesome!

[fireboy3112]

just saw this on oxygen god i'm old

[skiryder4life]

This is currently airing on TV

[teentitansfan2011]

this just came on today and i saw it when family game night went on commercial break

[holbrooke7]

Not even lying, I JUST SAW this commercial get re-aired on TV on Food Network.

[cynopt]

Jenny ! <3

[dcdownloads]

Brings back great memories.

[wheelzwheela]

0:24 more games more toys. That kid is awesome.

[oliolihay]

@wheelzwheela lol



[rasmusschack]

Hehe, this song is also played in Denmark :-D Nice.

[kevinc1001]

Now its cell phones, Laptops and video games. Kids don't seem to care about toys as much which is too bad.

[DefaultShinobi]

lmao--'ginger' race.

[herbie747]

I love the way they have white kids, asian kids, black kids... and a GINGER kid - haha. They consider gingers to be a race of their own, and feel obliged to include them to be PC.

[Lazerjo2000]

I feel bad that kids these days will never know wholesome fun the way we had

[THTB614]

MORE GAMES MORE TOYS!!!

[Mistrsam]

MORE GAMES MORE TOYS

[Babspace]

Is the boy at :12 the Oscar Mayer fishing-on-the-dock kid?

[redbike2009]

I'd like this song on a CD.

[dancingchickforever8]

FULL SONG?!!!!

[Hewylewis]

I remember a sequel commercial they did in the late 90's where they show the kids from this commercial all grown up. But where is it?

[Shutdowntheband1]

it's like when I was listening to the Ramones, then...the toy store ramones.

[Shutdowntheband1]

i was listening to ramones, then...this!!

[jedarenoknight]

Pedo gerahph and u carnt catch him because u carnt spell his name to sew him

[UltimateGCX]

kids now have facebook, x-box, ipods, and iphones.....wtf is wrong with parents giving spoiled kids all this shit these days? u might as well give them a bike and a doll lol

[estrickland89]

@UltimateGCX join the times...as technology grows childhood as you use to know it disappears. I for one, dont care.

[wack2002123]

@UltimateGCX

AMEN

[YouthFreedomFighters]

There is this other Toys R Us commercial which has a grown man singing the classic Toys R Us song, "I don't wanna grow up, Im a Toys R Us kid," while brushing his teeth with a snoopy toothbrush.

[haltrix]

0:19 lololololololololololo. Wtf?!?

[TRJ22487ISDEAD]

Oh my god, Jaleel White is SOOO small!!!

Ever go into the Toys R Us you loved as a child, as an adult!

Major disapointment when the entire store looks nothing like it did 20 years ago, huh? Maybe it has a dead Kids R Us attached to it....

God...I can picture the videogame section when it was still just NES/SNES/Genesis....that was the golden age....even up to the Nintendo 64 days....the video preview kiosks in the days before online videos...

Legos and Incredible Crash Dummies....aww man.

[wack2002123]

@TRJ22487ISDEAD

BLAME IT ON WAL-MART !

[TVfanfanatic]

Who exactly are these people? I don't know any of them.

[Fizzy35]

anyone know where to find the updated commercial?

[THEGATESPRODUCTIONS]

They have to go to school.

[MissLizaMay]

Do you have the updated commercial? I remember seeing it on TV years ago, but can't find it on here.

[Thatcrazykidx98]

OMG STEVE URKEL

[boberson33]

RIP JUDITH BARSI

[RoflEpicFail]

@boberson33  Which one is she? The girl at 0:26 ?

[boberson33]

oh, wait she wasn't in this

[megataco200]

my mom: ANDREW UR 30 YEARS OLD GROW UP

me: NO IM A TOYS R US KID

[WarDogLRS]

Another mind fuck to keep you all stupid

[PiplupTheTorrent]

This commercial tells us that if we buy atleast one toy in toys rus, you will stop growing.

[SadMemoriesGone4Ever]

It's a childish mentality. Id is the silliest toys r us kid. You don't get it? People still don't wanna grow up. They love playin mind games. That's their favorite game. Then it's x box, social networks, etc. Materialistic mentalities are the illest. just say to them: Check yourself. Check your own freakin self. And show others some respect.

[archaist]

Keep pressing 8! WE'RE GAY FOR TOYS WE'RE GAY FOR TOYS WE'RE GAY FOR TOYS

[FastestSpermCell]

I just ejaculated.

[NicolasP200]

BAHAHAHA Keep pressing 8!!! :D

[NeotailsX]

[eazyworldkilla2]

my mom says I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid. Oh wait! They have adult toys now! Oh, hell yeah, let me grow up!

[SuperTexrider]

I still have my big wheel I mean we all did stunts on it right

[brickmanonj]

Does anyone have the commercial they made in 1996, when they showed the kids back then and the now? They had all the kids except for the little girl lying on the bed at the end (and Jaleel).

[gabeguzman]

i remember that in the mid -late 90's this was the same commercial but they showed them when they were older to!

[SuperSF4yeaaa]

I am victim to the subliminal message. I am still a Toys R' Us kids.

[ClamChaoderFTW]

I'm here because of the Shay Tards - Parking Garage Video. :)

[stevenmeyer40]

[DolphinWorx]

[WhimsicalRachel]

What show is that in the clip it goes to at the end briefly? Care Bears? lol

[timbo35353]

@WhimsicalRachel I think it's the Reading Rainbow

[tbb033]

There was a followup to this like 10-15 years later with the kids grown up but still playing with toys interspliced into the footage, well some of them anyway. I don't think Urkel was in it.

[pikachulx90]

I'm scared....

[goldenboi778]

yup thats erkel from family maters..lol

[kingkatimari]

Sup, CE?

[sciontcdude]

lol its erkel at the end

[TheAceboogie90]

[NuclearActiveGuy]

@TheAceboogie90

philosoraptor says:

if your 20 years old

philoraptor.jpg

wouldn't you be from the 90's and therefore not have the knowledge to miss a 89's commercial?

[Kheyold]

@NuclearActiveGuy

Kheyold says:

I think you meant "you're", rather than "your".

trollface.jpg

Also, they played these in the 90's as well.

[shazryn]

love it!

[stuffedsonic]

More gay more toys.

[lifesaver173]

I like this song.

[ollieroks]

is that STEVEN Q ERCOL? 00:25

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

When I was a kid my friends and I changed the words to "there's a million boys at boys-r-us that I can play with." We made the mistake of singing it on the playground and ended up in the principal's office.

[soryon420]

I nostalgia'd like a mother fucker.

[chris3ff]

MOAR GAMES MOAR TOYS!!!

[sammysamo]

Is that Jenny Lewis toward the end?

[ZeroKnightAR]

when tv was good...

[okgoodanswer]

what year is this exactly?

[BlueAura790]

Oh dude, Hallmark Cards.

[acedaface954]

I was forced to grow up. Told me being an adult is better. What a bunch of crap that turned out to be. :-(

[JoeDaFivefoota]

was that urkel on the swings???

[acedaface954]

@JoeDaFivefoota lol yup

[mileycyrus357]

@JoeDaFivefoota I though that was urkel too!

[LittleD3]

that blonde kid with the glasses looks like an 80's version of my nephew... haha to cute =]

[lifesaver173]

I remember this one!

[lifesaver173]

I've always learned this song. I sang it in the store.

[VegasBilgeRat]

oh boy i remember this commercial!

[DeaconDeZ]

Check out Jaleel "Steve Urkle" White @ 0:25.

[MrGuitarfreak102]

i miss the toys r us girrafe

[asnaes]

I still am!

[2011sss]

i love you for putting this up here :)

[lifesaver173]

Hi! Im love you so much.

[PsychoticGeek23]

Hahahaha, my friend kept singing this over and over until I started singing it with her.

[charlesmusicwebs]

I don't want to throw up, I just feel like I do;

I ate so much terrific stuff, today at the zoo.

I don't want to throw up, but my tum's kinda sick,

From carmel corn and peanut chews, and corn-dogs on a stick,...

And ice cream, soda, and chocolate bars,

And cotton candy, pink and blue;

I don't want to throw up, 'cause, "golly", if I do,

We won't be goin' back to the zoo!

Oh, drat! Oh! ... SPLAT! ... Oh, phoo!

I guess I over-ate at the zoo.a

[DekiNoSama]

@charlesmusicwebs lmao where'd you hear that from?

[keyaro]

i LOVED this commercial when i was a kid.

[Wishworks]

0:26 ROFL!!

[RavenNight2641]

... people need to relax its just a toy store....

[WebVMan]

They have adult toy stores with naked figurines and dirty films. I prefer child toy stores. Bring back classic toys!

[rmbb10]

Kewl.

[A5runner]

I am the black kid on the big wheel.

[LyokoTravels]

that was how i fell when i was in 2nd Grade

But now i HAD GROWN UP

[youtubasoarus]

I grew up. And Toys R Us Sucks!

When I was a kid I promised myself when I grew older i'd go on a shopping spree in there. Now there's nothing worth buying in that place.

[WebVMan]

Great video game deals and that's it. Bring back Go-Bots, 1980s Legos, He-Man, Jakks WWE figures, and NES games, and I'd blow dough there.

[jwh1999]

I grew up, and i'm still a Toys R Us Kid!!

[pongboy1100]

Now i just wanna kill thad giant thing :D

[transformergirls54]

well now there grown

[adhdgirl224]

this is so kiddy

[Digatone]

I will remember this ad when I was a kid

[Terryfan]

Got to love the 80s

[cocobrotha1]

Hey maybe its me, but i do remember a toys r us kid commercial where they did the kids from when they were young and did them again when they were older. I can't seem to find it.

[tehsmex]

No, it happened. I remember it too and I thought it was awesome!

No clue where to find it, sorry... :*(

[JasontheFuzz1]

@ cocobrotha1

That's the same thing I'm looking for. It was definately these kids..

[LittleD3]

@cocobrotha1 There is a video called Toys R us kid 90s commercial with adults, maybe thats it? i apologize this was late I just stumbled across this now.

[jjojjorge]

This reminds me of someone very special (F); she use to sing this ...
