1978 2XL commercial

[BansheeMilk]

2-XL could kick Teddy Ruxpin in the pants and steal his wife.

[bradmann85]

the end made me laugh

[203207ab]

wow, the 1970s, what a great time. An adult magazine mention in what is basically a fun music player and educational toy for everyone.

[joseraulneo1971]

jajaja este robot se encabronaba cuando le respondias todas las preguntas mal o si le presionabas un boton que no era el que te decia, era divertido.

[Jonwood74]

2XL...friggin' classic. I loved that toy. It was one of the few "Hi Tech" toys that actually worked or didn't break immediately lol.

[Tonia682]

I wanted this toy soooo bad for 2 straight Christmases but never got it  : /

[crowdedenz87]

2, 4, 6, 8....this is the way to Masturba.....

[tommyrock69]

I had one of these. I also wondered why it had a NY accent. I mean, why not a California accent?

[BillyBughead]

@tommyrock69 Because the guy who invented it was from NY, and he was the dude who was providing the voice.

I wonder if my mother still has my old 2-XL anywhere. I pestered Mom into buying so many 2-XL tapes when I was that age. That Tri-Lex game was my favorite, with the checkers and the gamefield that you'd snap onto 2-XL's shoulders. I used to spank 2-XL at Tri-Lex all the time, but the game got tougher when I'd play against my brother instead of 2-XL.

I think 2-XL was throwing some of those games on purpose, just to make me feel good. Getting beaten by a robot when you're 9 years old sucks.

[HalomasterA69]

HAHAH playboy... is this a sextoy? EWWWW!!! god why did i think of that

[stonevrscx]

I had one.

[irvinetustin]

The 70's brought forth the dawn of the booming stereo systems with huge speakers. We didn't have booming stereo speakers that were small until the 90s. So if I were a teenager in the 70s and I was having a party at my house I wouldn't want to use the tiny little 1970s speakers in 2-XL to play the music we used for dancing like the teens were doing at 0:19.

[firespine345]

tiger 2-XL was better

[BloodyBay]

@firespine345 BLASPHEMY! That sleek little blue thing is a pale impostor, and no cassette can match the clicketty-clicketty majesty of the 8-track. Tiger's 2-XL will NEVER defeat the old Mego vanguard!

[c8udyp]

I never could convince my parents to get me one of these : (

[buzzlewie]

"2, 4, 6, 8 this is the way we lose weight."

[LordBicen]

i had this. i used it to represent Teletran 1 for my transformer toys.

[FREISTUDIOS]

My fondest memory of this toy was me playing Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl through it while playing with my GI Joe's!

Thanks for posting!

[MattTheSaiyan]

How much are these worth today? I want one for my collection of old things. I'd place it next to my 1970s blender and the Atari 2600 jr.

[yankee15]

No one has the 2-xl commercial with the Nolan Ryan trivia question!! The one where 2-XL says, "Nolan Ryan, hmmm hmm hmm."

[maraisreq]

i remember mine - coming home from elementary school and listening to my 'Chipmunk Punk' 8-track on it - that gigantic power adapter would getter hotter than hell after an hour.

[unlimitedrabbit]

Playboy wasn't kidding. I'm an adult and I could not resist 2-XL.

He got me drunk and then he had his robotic way with me ...

[jeopardy60611]

I liked 2XL when I tried him out at a store. I don't think my parents wanted to get him for me because it cost $65.00. I should have asked them to get me the tapes to play on the 8-track player we had, but I didn't know that the tapes were standard 8-tracks. However, you had to cycle between the 4 stereo tracks on the player we had, and you couldn't jump directly to a track like you could on 2XL.

[JOCKATEO]

syill got mine from my brother

[boats752]

mine is in the original box in the garage and worked last time it was out

[howardtheman]

after 31 years? WOW that's amazing.

[timmchap35]

i'll give you 5 bucks for it

[boats752]

worth more on ebay

[timmchap35]

2 bucks

[zachhoran]

they brought back 2XL for the short-lived syndicated game show Pick Your Brain in 1993-94, with Marc Summers. A life sized version of him was used as the announcer.

[apachette07]

They brought this back in the 90s. I had one!

[4thtroika]

Hey, he may have been a glorified 8-track tape player, but he was awesome! 2-XL rules!

[ford9572]

@4thtroika You got that right!! I REALLY LOVED mine!!! I'd play with him 24/7!! I'd sometimes dress him up like a cowboy!! I'd put this little leather vest with embroidered horseshoes on it on him and a little red cowboy hat on top of him!! 2-XL DOES rule!! No doubt about that!!!

[supressorgrid]

@ford9572 Did you pretend you were two of the Village People?

[DeathToTheseWalls]

Wow, the 1978 version was gay.

[thefishpuffle]

ooooooooooooooooo 70s

[JavaErb]

Adults can't resist him.  ...Playboy

[p3rsian247]

seripusly

[erictramer]

@JavaErb Ha - I would love to see a toy commercial today with testimonials from Playboy. I miss the 70's.....

[tsohgallik]
