Lol I didn't think "slutification" was a word I'd hear said by this nice toy man.

first time i've heard someone describe the wii u as a "success"

This is the only time I have ever heard the Wii U being called successful.

The razor scooter could be also used as a weapon... RIP my ankles 😣

i want this man to have his own series

This is one of those guys who you would never think to hire as a spokes person or host, yet is undeniably charismatic in a weird way!

He should be hired by Netflix’s “The Toys That Made Us”

Interesting that American Girl doll is in the background but never discussed.

R.I.P to all the tamaghochi's that died since `97

this guys needs to be protected at all costs but i'm surprised fidget spinners weren't on here!

Kinda disappointed that he didn’t mention the Transformers 😔

This presenter has an almost Mr. Rogers feeling...a kid at heart for life. Good for him to not be one of the disenchanted depressed people making up today's oi polloi

I don't know what to do with this information

i would be so proud of myself for selling pet rocks 😂

wasn't expecting him to say the word "SLUTIFICATION"

1968: In 2001, after conquering space travel, humanity will transcend into its next phase of being. Actual 2001: Bratz!
