toys r us advert 1990s UK TV

[Goddessofaurora2108]

This is so nostalgic!

[Toyotacamry1993]

Remember this as a little kid. the new advert sucks.

[stephthestar90]

i used to love this advert! the new one is awful.

[ocelotrevs]

I still haven't been too a Toys R Us.

I feel like I've missed out.

[MollyMooMelissa16]

''Theres millions of debris all under one roof''? What the fuck? :/

[jocairns76]

@MollyMooMelissa16 Millions says Geoffry

[WebVMan]

So at night, they use slave labor to stock their shelves? More like Slave Kids R Us. No wonder the kids can't spell. They probably don't get educated.

[turbomonkey138]

million of debris ?

[StalkerXIII]

Just last year they had adverts where they brought back this themesong for their 25th anniversary or something :D

[mojododo85]

The Toys R Us shops went on forever when you were a kid! And you were allowed to test the bikes down the isles!

[MsBrightside1992]

this takes me back. toys r us was like paradise when i was a kid

[BrooksterMax]

Class, remember this in the run to Christmas as a kid. The only thing that dates it really is the ending "Stores Nationwide" lol :)

[PuffyAmiYumi]

Ae 20 sec does she say "There's millions of debris all under one roof"?

[Chad4U]

@PuffyAmiYumi no she says - There's millions says Jeffrey all under one roof (millions as in toys I presume)

[rubbern0se]

Classic rollerboots hanging on the wall on 0:10

[WickedFan264]

i remeber this

[ZakB1991]

everyone is white in this advert because it was produced in 1989. and at that point they didnt have to have to put ethnic minorities in everything to stop them moaning.

so stfu and enjoy the classic advert

[redcasalinie]

good call!!

[AidanLunn]

@ZakB1991

[Bisected8]

@ZakB1991 Really? I'd have thought it was because there was only 2 human character designs in the whole thing.

[andstarvinwasborn]

@ZakB1991 Cee U Next Tuesday CUNT

[ZakB1991]

@andstarvinwasborn why next tuesday ?

[kitty1468]

love it such a classic ad im happy they brought it back again for xmas

[gaaantz]

@ CHANNELMICHAEL

did you mean ".....we're on OUR way there"?

english is not my mother tongue so i'm not always quite sure. but thanx anyway!

[speedfreak18ish]

theyve brought this ad back lol, seen it the other day havent seen it in like 15 years when i was a kid and i though,..... hhmm I REMEBER THAT AD! lol you never forget those christmas ads as kid!

[Barkermush]

I just saw this advert on TV today!! It reminded me of when i was a kid in the late 90's and this advert was always on Xmas :D

The car at the beging sub-consiously reminded me of this advert that i had long since forgotten, Untill i saw it on TV today :P

[catbell69]

OMG I got that Christmas feeling watching this! :))) haven't felt that for some time!

[gaaantz]

there's a magical place we all now where there

with toys in their millions all under one roof

its called Toys'R'us

soon after bedtime when dark nighttime falls

Geoffrey and helpers stock up all the shelves

from ceiling to floor, books for kids and bikes

teddies, puppets and dools there's spaceships and trikes

there's millions says Geoffrey

all under one roof

its called Toys'R'us, Toys'R'us, Toys'R'us

[CHANNELMICHAEL]

It's actually "There's a magical place, we're on out way there"

[fartedonyourface]

Now you tell me an advert as good as this on TV nowadays? It's impossible!!

[ohronaldo34]

child labour laws???? geoffrys got a little criminal operation going on under that roof!!! love the song though!!!

[oldmancafu]

why are all the kids in the advert white lmfao

[ohronaldo34]

well at least geoffreys yellow, so i guess that evens it all out lol

[0bscureMasochist]

@oldmancafu

Blacks don't work.

[Sprog030]

@0bscureMasochist +1!!!!!!!!! LOL

[AidanLunn]

@ohronaldo34 Look, it's only supposed to be a 30 second advert for kids. I don't think children have the intelligence to think "oh they're all white", they're far more interested in the song, the colours and the giraffe.

[teethgrinder07]

1994 i think

[KiyokaMakibi]

WHatever happened to the one in Birmimgham? It just shut down all of a sudden

Good advert. Brings back memories. I actually like this song still ^^

[peterhanloncouk]

A lot of the UK Toys 'R' Us stores closed down before 2007. The one in Birmingham became a huge "International Stock" store.

[LANbritain]

Which year was this precise advert on?

coz i remember my gran telling me when the croydon toys r us opened but which year?

[MetalAaron]

Is this not offending every employment law in the western world? How can you have an army of kids under 16 working after dark? 'Helpers'? Are they even getting paid? Someone call Watchdog!

[rk246]

reminds me of xmas time .. xmas will never be the same agen

[EnglishKnight7]

EXACTLY what i was thinking!

[lauralvs89]

This use to be my favourite advert as a kid.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Xmas

[cn862004]

This ad makes me think of christmas time as a child.

Im 22 now, lifes slipping away!!

Good post by the way.

[willknapo]

im the same 22 aswell brings back so many memories especially of xmas time

[martindecorum]

is this the add Jordan RUdess composed for

[MetalAaron]

that would be funny!

[martindecorum]

no im being serious i no hes composed the music for a toys r us. and u can hear influences in the lead piano solo at :19 mark

[MetalAaron]

where is this information? what makes you think this? has he mentioned it in an interview somewhere?

[moruri33]

:'(

[dizzywhore1804]

I remember they used this advert for about a decade.

I was a kid when it started TX'ing, but I was old enough to know they were being cheap by the end of it.

[AidanLunn]

I think it has more to do with popularity rather than cheapness. They kept on using this advertising campaign as it was successful.

[dieseluk2k]

"omg omg omg, bikes and toys, remote control cars, boats and helicopters, megadrive games!!! omg omg omg,

mum... can i have..."

"wait and see what santa brings"

[MusicanoftheFuture]

Hi JayEey, I might well of been travelling along he M62. But I can't remember now that I'm a 24 year old man. I'll have to ask Mum and Dad and my Sister and Brother in Law.

Although I do remember Supermarket in Spannish is,Supermarkaido.

[MusicanoftheFuture]

A ooOOOhoOhoo yes! I even remember back in October 1994 when I first went to Spain with,my Mum,Dad Sister and Brother in Law there was a Toy's R Us on the motorway.

I don't know if it's still there now.Anyway back then I was just 10 years old.Thank you more happy memories.

[JayEey]

Were you travelling on the M62?

[paulstearne]

I used to go to the one on the M62

[Thehip22]

Is this available as a ringtone anywhere?!!

[misterpete]

That sums up this awful Mobile Phone culture I hate so much!

;-)

[g1999]

'theres millions of jeffery all under one roof' ???? wtf

i used to get genuanly excited about this advert

[brzezinka]

I'm pretty sure it goes 'Theres millions says Jeffry all under one roof' as in Jeffry the giraffe is saying, there's millions! (of toys presumeably)

[Jujurocksallthetime]

OMG dint notice that just pissed ma self lafin

not literally

[rickadams]

I loved this advert as a kid it was on every advert break on the run up to Xmas every year!

[Bennybbz]

Toys R Us - Where child labour laws dont apply!

[KugarWeb]

Wow! I remember this advert only seemed to come on around Christmas time and I always knew it was Christmas as a kid when this advert and the Coca Cola Trucks advert came on :D Got me really excited.

[twitty666]

I bet you all didn't know Jordan Rudess wrote this song.

[Turbonoodle]
