should of used a better password.

But can she blame you? Danny Phantom IS cute!

LOL

F

i had a crush on danny phantom as a kid too haha !!

HONESTLY

Dam what a pervert

I swear almost every single boy tech toy was just “want to spy on your sister and/or scare her” and would always show the brother laughing their butt off

I'm a girl and my dad got me the passwords journal and the car with the camera on top. I loved the spy stuff so he got all of it lol.

So Girl Tech is basically a counter technology for the spying 'toys' for boys.

This made me laugh way harder then it should have!!!bsbdbdhdh

thats so not true. y/n doesnt know harry styles or any of the 1D boys because all she does is read at starbucks sipping her pumpkin spiced latte which she will later spill on harry right before he asks her to go on tour with them because shes not like other girls

My friend tried that. He found out his sister likes to get *Blacked*

Please omg the wattpad flashbacks I'm having lmao

LOLLLL

Like ever lmaoo

My brother was better at opening it than me, despite it being my voice as the password

@@athenakammeyer7720 like the spying brother from the commercials, or like you'd end up asking him if he could open it and he could?

I had the journal and it made me self conscious of my voice cause it sounded so mumbly and deep when it repeated it back to me

@Iliana Dough LMAOOO You just reminded me why I never got these tech toys to begin with, I wanted them but was scared that if my voice ever changed (I was somewhat aware of puberty), it would never open again.

Hahahah exactly hahaha

hence the scene with the boy sneaking up on his sistee using the invisible ink lol

Mine would play a whole 5 second music clip then say some greeting and it would scare the shit outta me. I would have to hold the palm of my hand over the speaker to make it quiet at night lol.

@@ham2629OOH LA LA LA-LA, LA LA LA-LA WELCOME BACK.

@@hobqueer YES OMG I still have mine and I remember you could reset the password with this little tiny button at the top, so my sister would use a DS stylus to press the button and reset the password on me 😂

I felt that too.

everything thing about this video hit hard lol. i always wanted these growing up but i had to play with boys toys

@@-divinetragedy "Umm yes I rather like this boy toy. I'm definitely not thinking of not being a boy right now"

Early 2000's Girly tech toys like this are the reason I study Electrical Engineering today! Super appreciative of those who made these breakthroughs :)

@@-divinetragedy worse part is that i was allowed to get normal toys meant for boys or girls........ unless it came to these things, then i was stuck with the boys stuff only, or else my parents wouldn't buy it. Barnacles. Admittedly back then i just accepted it (even though secretly i hated that) but if i knew the IM-Me existed, oh boy young me would have wanted that so bad, more then anything else i wanted as a kid.

this comment made me laugh too hard lmao

😂😂😂

New cash money

@@crystocious6715 they played themselves

My parents actually couldn't afford this stuff, but my Mom got me an old fashioned lock journal from the dollar store and next thing I knew both my little sisters were reaching under my mattress to break in and peak about my kid crushes lmao. Me & my bestie later kept a spy journal, just a regular notebook. And said bestie and sisters made up a spy club, all notebooks, origami football notes and walkie talkies =-p and a sound-amplifying "spy" toy from The LimitedTOO with the giant Spice Girls lollipops haha x-p

@Spyral StormTeacup just like Harriet the Spy 🕵️‍♀️!

Oof that’s sketchy af

Yeah, because $20 is *sooooo expensive*

lmaooo

Omfg same though 👀

The mid-2000s is strong with this one

I hated my password journal because you could just pull it open without breaking it, and it could never understand my password anyway

HAHHAHAHA

and me you

me but his name was jacob funny bc now i’m dating a different jacob. i guess i like basic white boy names.

This is my favorite comment

Jasons r great

Reveal your identity eula Lawrence, we know it's you

….that’s actually brilliant and I never considered the use of a non-verbal password before

lmfaoo omg💀🤣

She might be a genius

I choked reading this😭😭😭

big brain lmao 😅😅

Damn

Damn that’s deep

Honestly, I think that's part of it. It's getting better...ish, but young girls weren't brought up to feel safe. One could say it's predatory marketing, but maybe that's too deep.

She sounds like such a cool lady

Very deep bro...

A sibling arms race, if you will

War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by siblings and their cool tech toys.

Too true.

for a second i thought you ment kira from dino thunder

I'm imagining various scenes from Death Note with Light using the Password Journal and I can't stop laughing Someone needs to edit that or make a skit

Most YT comments are trash but this one is actually really funny

Daaang. That must've sucked so bad.

F

This made me buss out laughing. Thanks 😂😂😂😂😂

My cousin was able to break into my password journal too!

This was me but with Nintendogs

I don't remember them selling one for boys, but also that poor bastard, just wanted a little privacy, and next thing he knows his sister's are in his room screaming like banshees and breaking his shit.

I’m balling this is so funny

This is hilarious imagine just wanting to keep some secrets and your sisters are launching your stuff at the wall like no shame

Alternatively, you could just brute force the cover open. I'm sure the motors holding it down can't be that powerful.

@@lambda5992 just wedge it open with a screwdriver

A very good idea to make your mortal enemy suffer tbh... 'What is that ring?' 'I dont know Jonathan, everyday, right at 3AM, the whole house ring. It had been three years, yet the sound never fail to ring and disturb my sleep.'

Hahahha

I wanted the Justice one so bad!

That story gives me some tell tall heart vips

My sister would do that too lmao, it worked a bit too well.

I did this to my older cousin after she locked twenty dollars in it and told me I could have it if I got in (I knew the words but she insisted the voice recognition would keep me out) TLDR I got twenty dollars

Same! I had to open my journal with a spoon because it could recognize my own voice???

“More reliably than she could” omfg this made me wheeze 😂😅

I wouldn’t even do an impression, I would just say the password cause it didn’t even work for my sister, but for some reason work for me

Finding out the teacher had a first name 😱

What are you talking about? Their names ARE mom and dad!

Or those cool teachers who let you use their first name

@cprich22 Wait, really?

my mom refers to my dad by his name so when i was a kid i'd refer to my dad for his name as well, i dont know why this didn't happen with my mom tho, because my dad also refered her by her name too :p

SAME.

Literally me

Did the same with many devices. Just fullfill your ambitions girl.

Are you still friends with her by any chance lol

I feel it fam

Same bro

sure was a learning experience, huh

Honestly making that stuff gendered in the first place was kind of pointless

I feel you bro

@@toonandy2189 haha oh gosh not much, just that i wrote myself into the code lyoko story because i was sooo into the show as a kid. such an underrated gem of a show!

AAAAAAH

Bro I watched that when I was 12. It’s that old.

Same here !!

Why is the English dub of that show so out of order?? Still love it

and that the toys for boys were so they could spy on their sisters and/or just freak them out i don't think there were any nefarious intentions behind it beyond kids playing, but also there are definitely some Implications there

Damn, childhood mood. Shit sucked

nooo 🥺 I’m gonna cry :(

That girl is so mean smh

I’m sorry :(

I'm sending you a message on the friendchip right now: Hey girl!!! wow u r so cool!!! so connected !!!

It's such weird gendered advertising. Like, girls were these mysterious fae-like creatures you couldn't hope to understand. Even if they are half of the general population.

I'm a girl and was wondering what the hell these girls were doing that they had such interesting secrets, my life was boring as hell.

I mean my boy cousings wanted to read my diary so

Yes! Especially for the spy gear type of toys. They'd have commercials of boys trying to peer in the windows of an all girl's slumber party and were using the toys to spy and eavesdrop on them, probably creating a whole new generation of stalkers.

Purposely left my diary out and about assuming my brother would read it like the boys in the commercials so I could convince my mom to buy me a password journal. My brother returned my diary later that day without reading it. Never got the journal

I mean.....where would it have gone?

@@johnschwalb well I couldn’t remember if I had taken it out all those years ago...

What was the valentines thing he got you? Did yall ever date? ARE YOU TWO STILL TOGETHER TO THIS DAY?!?!?!

Rip relation

That’s dedication

Adults: *having lunch in the kitchen* You, from the echoing depths of the house: OrLaNdO BlOoM. orlANDO blOOM. ORLANDO BLOOM. Adults, taking a sip from their drink: ah, the child wants to write in their diary. *checks watch* they're a little late, they usually start 15 minutes ago.

Daamn. This is the most early 2000s story I've ever read, down to the Orlando Bloom bit!

Omg lol. Yea, I had trouble too so I just forced it open. 😑 the voice recognition was shit lol but it was a toy so.. Eh whatdaya expect

Did she guessed it?

oh yeahh

“I feel so used.”

Which I always found funny because honestly most times its the opposite lol

@@AlsoNotimportant apparently yes since no matter how much we say we hate them stereotypes will always be a thing

Yeah, as a kid I had wished that it wasn’t gender branded; because being a boy in the 2000s meant that you couldn’t play with anything that had girl in the name or suggested was for girls; or else you were a girl and as a boy in the early 2000s, that was the worst thing you could be called. Although, I also loved Totally Spies at the time, and secretly really wanted a lot of these things. I had to satisfy myself with the Spy Gear toys. They weren’t bad, but some of this stuff is cooler by comparison 😂

@@julesstephenson8935 Totally Spies was a weird show, sure I have watched it when I was younger, but it was because it was on Teletoon as reruns. I never knew it has so many fetishes, I thought it would be like Charlies Angels but Anime like, and it sorta is, with the spies being based on the Angels, and Jerry being like Charlie, but he might as well be like Q from the James Bond films up to The World Is Not Enough. Sure Jerry does give Sam, Alex, and Clover their mission, but he also gives them spy gadgets that are as whacky as what Q gives to James Bond. A Makeup Compac that is also a communication device, a compac that repells physics itself, and so on.

​@@julesstephenson8935 It's ironic because now every guy admits they liked Totally Spies growing up but were too embarrassed to tell anybody, so basically everyone was afraid of ridicule for nothing lol, there's also a meme that went like "Real niggas watched Totally Spies and didn't tell a single soul" lol

@@ChaseMC215 I just recently realized how much spy-related stuff there was in the 2000s, Charlie's Angels and James Bond reboots, SpyGear, Austin Powers, Jett Jackson, Cody Banks, Kim Possible, Totally Spies, and hell Spy Kids was the first movie I ever watched in a theater.

@@DaDualityofMan Define "every guy."

Same like literally to a tee

Genius

I just peeked my head around the corner of my door and could watch a whole ass tv show without them looking behind them!

I wanted to know what my parents were saying about me behind my back after they sent me to my room

It seemed like adds made by 50 year olds who watched tween movies and Disney Channel showes aimed at tween girls to see what 8 year old boys were like.

Those spy toy ads predicted future trends for _other_ video upload and sharing sites.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Strange that none of them ever had a toy for what to do when your step-sister gets stuck or steals lemons...

@@kayEnt3rtainm3nt Getting stuck in the laundry machine is such a weird trend and so specific that I am sure it is based on someone's lived experience.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive I doubt it actually happened. You would either need a really tiny machine, or a really big woman. The latter would be the most likely, if it did happen they probably just called the fire department or ambulance

Her marketing worked haha

That is the cutest and most fascinating thing I've ever heard all day

My sister had one during the same time period and everyone BUT her could get into it. I could with both a falsetto and my normal voice and my voice was deeper than hers.

@@Retro_Red oh my god thats funny lol. i got mine for Christmas and tried doing everything to get it open, deep voice, falsetto- nothing worked cept the fork

a sister of a friend of mine had one. he tried to open it and it didnt work. i tried and it did. we where scared because the sister was like 4 years older than us so we closed that shit fast and got the hell out of her room before she could see us.

Same thing happened with me! I kept having to shout out my password (which defeated the point of keeping it secret) in order to set it and open it. Even after all of that my older sister still got into it!🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyone could get into mine lol

I was designing myself whole new alphabets that looked like comic sans or some ancient handwritings xD This video gave me also some flashbacks from those times, when I loved to write random encrypted letters on thin rolls of paper, rolling them up tightly and putting them in random places at my school. I bet that some of them are still there, because I was really trying to put them inside such weird places and objects, that no one would expect them to be there. I was inspired by the concept of time capsules back then... A few of those were, for example, thrown under the wooden floor of small scene, where every major gathering or conference was made. Translating most of them after all those years would be a nightmare, because none of my alphabets survived to this day - i would have to reverse engineer whole writing system of those xD Only about last 2 years of my activity is written in number-based codes, that converts any kind of text into long string of numbers without any gaps between. Those codes I still remember tho; I even sometimes use it today for fun on my smartphone and laptop XD Cheers from Poland XD

i never got why people kept diaries or wrote things down… my parents went through all my stuff so i already knew never to write a secret down.

Me too! Leo Gang!

I didn't ask to be born, mom!

Idk who John Steinbeck is, but we share a birthday.

Omg you’re a legend!!! I bow down to the power of August 5th

But were you born at 2 o'clock?

I also tried to befriend the girl with all the pixiechix & pollypocket toys. Her parents were wealthy so she had the green Razor scooter the day it came out and would invite the whole class to her bomb af birthday parties. She had like 15 Tamagachi's and gave me one bc my parents couldn't really afford to get me the newer toys very often 🥺🥺🖤🖤

You have revealed your sister's password to her journal. You fool. Now all of her secrets will be mine.

@@AdonisOuranios You may have her secrets... But can you handle them?

@@AdonisOuranios not if she used invisible ink 😈

Oh, I’m still mad about mine. I had one, and my passcode was “chocolate”. I remember, way after I actually cared about getting the sticker’s I’d left in there, I would bring it on car trips and say “chocolate” 500 times in different tones. Imagine my annoyance when my parents told me much later that if you take a pencil and stick it in an emergency opening, it pops open. I still remember it saying “welcome back!” and something about how a ton of people (me) tried to break in

The exact same thing happened to me, I begged my mom to get it and when she did I was so excited and got it all set up but none of my friends had one so I literally never used it either LOL!!

@@TRiNaZaRda now you two need to talk to each other on your I’m-me’s and become best friends to make your parents money worth it all these years later lol it was destiny

@@NatCatKitty absolutely

According to the commercial you don't need an imme to send or receive messages, and for those who don't have it could sign up using a pc. I guess the problem then was who would dare share the pc?

I had some knock off kmart version for way less where it was just a digital writer. Address book, ect all in one

Hit clips! They were amazing!!

Same here, I loved these technology toys! I hope the women that fought hard is having a great life right now and she got the credit/recognition she deserves. I am studying computer animation. It's a blend of art and technology, and I'm inspired by these toys growing up.

This made me burst out in laughter, thank you!

Could be a great horror story about some cursed journal, kind of like tom riddle's journal in harry potter

@@yeaaaaaaaaaaahff she stared, terrified into the shadows. It had been years since she'd last entered her password, the last time ending in utter catastrophe. She shuddered at the dark memory. She knew that all she needed to do was turn away, maybe drop the journal off in a donation bin the next morning, or perhaps at her neices house, but something beckoned her towards it. She picked up the old journal, the once vivid colours now faded and dull, the journal seemed to pulse with sinister energy as she looked it over. It was just as she remembered it, only darker. Beads of sweat formed on her brow as she held the journal in her shaking hands, her brain conjured up memories of the book's password, A phrase she had spent so many years forgetting. Her senses screamed at her to put the journal away, to throw it out the window! But she just couldn't listen. Her mouth opened in spite of herself, and it seemingly effortlessly prepared to utter the cursed words of a childhood long lost. She knew now that this had all been a mistake, that she never should have given in to the journal's deceptively intoxicating call, but it was far too late to stop things now. Her rationality panicked as her lips shakingly spoke the cursed password, her eyes winced in anticipation of the overwhelmingly evil aura she was about to unleash When, All of a sudden: *"pAssWoRD inCoRRecT, PleAsE RepEaT YouR pASsWorD"*

"Nothing interesting happened to me so I never wrote in them" I felt that in my soul.

I had one, but stopped keeping one when my dad read it without my permission, got mad about what I wrote in it, fussed at me bout it, so I swore off diaries after that, and he's now mad that I refuse to take up writing in a diary again...

Make it black, maybe add some edgy flames and call it a spy journal, Booom marketed for boys. Easy! It's not like they didn't do it with Polly pocket and mighty max

I had. First days it was cool. Then my brother managed to open it and read the shit I wrote with invisible ink. Then I couldn't bother to keep on writing but tbf I was never much of a diary writer

So true 😅
