I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who got trauma from this thing as a toddler in the late 90’s. It’s like a rite of passage.

Literally had nightmares about these as a young toddler. Just watching this causes uneasiness.

Literally as a child this was my biggest fear... still kinda is.

Fun fact about this thing. My family has had this my whole life. When I was little it scared me so much I’d cry. One year it was on a bookcase right outside my room. I was so scared I peed the bed because I didn’t want to go outside my room at night with it there. I’m in my twenties now and it still give me the creeps.

My teacher had one of these. He would set it up on the cabinet at the end of the classroom and would send one of us to get something from it. It came to an end when one of the students got so startled, he swiped it off in a fluid motion, breaking the dang thing. RIP Douglas Fir. We hardly knew ye.

I was born in 97 and one my early memories was visiting my granda for Christmas and he had this. Strangely it never scared me

The way I just remembered this out of nowhere on a random day in October. Wow, memories.

Thanks for bringing back the annoying memory! My aunt passed away and I have hers in a box in my garage somewhere!!

I remember my grandparents giving this thing to my great grandparents for Christmas when I was about 3 this thing scared the ever lasting piss out of me and my brother and still is unsettling.

We had this tree when I was a kid and it scared the living shit out of me 😱 😦 😟

I have this one and I put it in the bathroom, so when my kids and grandkids go to pee at night they get a big surprise. hahaha!

My childhood in this video.. I was just thinking about it and had to search it 🥲

My Grandma had one of these when I was a kid. I was terrified of it!

So I'm not the only one who found this unnerving. I have PTSD.

My sis miko watched this video and now she always goes to my room at 3am and brings this thing to my face.

Still my favorite Christmas decoration. It has an 1/8” pin sound input jack. Nothing funnier than watching a football game around Christmas with all the commentary coming from this tree ‘s mouth with it’s eyes blinking at seemingly appropriate times. Makes me roll on the floor! Plug in a podcast and you die of laughter!

I can remember as a kid me and my siblings loved this decoration! One christmas we were putting the decorations up and his eye popped off and we still kept him with one eye as we didn't want to throw him away!! A few years later it started to look like a halloween decoration so my parents got rid of him!! Me and my siblings cried are eyes out lol

This used to be nightmare fuel for me

I’m 27 and here to say that brought back nostalgic memories of cheer and fright

He dances too!

I have this. Good times

Used to be terrified of this when I was little 🤣🤣 would scream my head off

I remember those things

If had something like this, I would wet my pants and then run away in terror

Although I wasn't even around when these things were made, I can kind of understand why many people say they were scared of these as a kid. As even I, as a teen, gotta admit that these things look fricking creepy with their fish eyes and flappy mouth.

My nana has that exact one

I remember this

I too, was traumatized by the signing Christmas tree 😔👆🏻

id be less scared if i saw micheal myers in my house

I saw a video about this tree, I was like hmmm I want one this dude will be fun to have, also me: What if I need to go to the bathroom at midnight and that *tree is in the liveing room and it just starts to sing!*

Glad I didn't grow up with this or I would have countless nightmares of it. I'm in a strange place where I'm not afraid of this but I know the kid version of me would have been terrified

I just had war flashbacks

That’s some scary shit

Still have mine

Therapist: so, you are scared of christmas? Me: yes Therapist: why? Me: well, it's complicated...

Ok I have a angel that sings silent night im my house I have a huge fear of it and this might be the next one I have a fear of

I’m glad my parents were scared shitless of this toy that they didn’t even buy it

I’m surprised everyone was so scared of this thing. I thought it was so fascinating when I was a kid. Like dude, it’s a talking tree, so cool.

I’ve never seen this when younger and I’m glad lol 😂😭.

I kinda want one but they are pretty pricey on eBay. They are pretty nostalgic.

This thing is scarier than I remember. Haha.

Those are nightmarish and I was scared of those when I was a child.

We still have one of these in storage. Me and my brother thought it was really funny, and still do today.

reading the comments on this is funny because here I am in my 30s looking for one of these because of how much joy it brought me as a kid and ya'll on here like "nightmare fuel!" LOL

My grandma had one, terrified the shit out of me every time it spoke.

Never knew I would lovehate something this much

My family bought a Gemmy Douglas Fir when he first came out and my brother Daniel and I never found him creepy, honestly. Maybe he gave us or Christmas guests a start when he greeted unexpectedly and then started singing. I could have sworn though if ours moved and operated more like an animatronic Muppet and was more uncannily naturalistic in his movement, like squeezing his eyes tight while singing “Up On The Housetop”. Then again, he was fairly new compared to this one in the video.

I'm going to cry myself to sleep now because of that demon LOL

The singing fish I could handle, this fucking thing was fresh out of hell

I had this singing Christmas tree. He look scary.

Nice 👍

My mom had one of these when I was little and my older sister told me and my twin sister that it eats kids and it didn’t help it had those creepy eyes. My mom had it in the living room with the regular tree. I never went in there 😂🤣 who thought this was a good idea like be for real!

It's not as terrifying or as angry as I had remembered it to be for all these years.......

My parents had one of these when I was little ❤️ oh my gosh!!!

My grandma had one of these before she died I still wish I can get this same one because she had this one see now I had it before but it got lost and I’m still looking for one

I have the same one

I’m getting this thing for my mom for Christmas because we used to have one and she loved it but holy shit this thing is so scary and traumatizing I don’t even want to welcome it into the house

This is way more cursed than woody

I was so excited when I bought this and I put it on top of our TV and turned it on. My son was not to keen but my daughter burst into tears and was screaming for it to stop!

Tails has this

Whoever thought this would be a good product should be arrested for child abuse

I literally have one of those in my attic and it’s eye is literally hanging on by a wire

As a child this thing gave me nightmares. How tf did any adult look at this during creation and go "honestly the kids will love this."

When it turned on I lost my hair

My biggest fear

Loved the Douglass fir tree I want another one so bad ❤❤❤

My friend grandma have this lmao

I used to see this thing, scream like a banshee and run to my room whenever my parents brought this menace out. ...I think I know where my fear of animatronics started from now. I think it's mostly the eyes, but also how the mouth moves and looks too where the 'tongue' doesn't cover it up makes me uncomfortable even as an adult. It just looks wrong.

This one freaked me out 😂

Damn this is an even newer version of the one i still have, it doesn't dance, just sings and moves its eyes and mouth. Still love this thing!

Mine doesn't have Jingle Bell Rock, I'm salty...

This thing gave me nightmares

This would scare the ... .... .. - out of me

I'm surprised no one's made a horror movie about this guy...

My late wife Margie came home with this in 1997 and I've had it ever since. It's a family favorite and still works perfectly. I always have it at our covered entrance and people jump when he becomes "alive" then end up laughing!

0:22 happy new year

Lmao

where was this filmed at

Imagine your body being brutally murdered and you hear this?

Gemmy Douglas fir

0:28 prank jumpscare at cats

Lyssy’s video brought me here

The toy that scared cats

HI

This is exactly what my my family had at their house when I was little, I loved it

Guess I’m the only one here that absolutely loves mine lol

I hated these when I was a kid they scared the shit out of me every time but now I’m like older maybe I should get it for my husband he gets scared 🤣🤣🤣 i’m imagine he gets scared my Husband scare easily so that’s why I’m laughing because I’m imagining it

Am I the only one who doesn't find Douglas creepy?

this is fucking creepy

I hated this thing as a kid so much.

There are so many people that are so scared of Douglas Fir. To me, he’s cute and he is not trying to scare anybody he wanted some one to play with him.

It looks creepy!👹💀

hell nah

CHAAAAAAAHHHH EHHHHHHHH

This thing is giving fnaf vibes because of how uncanny it is
