Who cares about being popular? Having control over the local economy is more important than being liked by the "cool kids" (damn i sound old when i write it like that).

I don't just respect the hustle, I admire it. You've always been quite the self-run business woman, haven't you.

I can’t believe you made a living in elementary school taking care of kids, digital pets that’s the greatest story of all time 😂🤣

Unironically a great side hustle.

As a business management major I can tell you all my teachers would say: "This is how entrepreneurs are born"

What I’m hearing is that you made bank on people owning sims that you took care of.

I just remember seeing some kids with DOZENS attached to their backpacks and I was so insanely jealous. When I finally managed to get my mom to buy me one, it got dropped in water.

I love the little shorts intro. It's so perfectly cartoon-ish.

Those damn tamagotchis are probably single-handedly responsible for my anxiety issues

The ed boys taught her well

DANG- THAT WAS GENIUS OF YOU- as the “weird kid whose always reading during free time” I LIVE FOR THIS 😂

Watching this while i have my tamagotchi draped around my neck was surreal. Also you can mute them by pressing A and B at the same time

Rebecca became a self-taught businesswoman at like 11 years old. Thats impressive 👏

a honorable message for rebecca: business is booming kingpin-

As I’m watching this my Tamagotchi is sitting on my desk about to be brought back to life

Haha, Right after I re-watched this, I went into one of the classrooms at my school and found out that their class-pet is a Tamagotchi 😂

She saw desperate parents and became a babysitter. You don’t need to worry about supply and demand when the demand is all around you.

How ba-ba-ba-bad can she be? She’s just building the economy

I vaguely remember having a tamagotchi for a brief time as a preteen. It taught me how much I don't want to be a parent and that I would be a horrible one if I was a parent. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My and my friends are in year 8 and still use tamagotchis nice to see how long people have liked using them

That’s pretty clever, all I did at primary school was repeatedly run into our playground shed.

I remember taking one really long field trip back in elementary school. For some reason, my mom bought two huge boxes of snacks and drinks, which I brought with me. Since it was a 10 hour+ round trip, I would sell the snacks and drinks to the kids from the back the bus like some bazaar merchant, giving discounts to the kids who were nice to me and upcharging the bullies. That little venture funded my summer that year, and I'll never forget it.

If I ever get that chance, money is the first thing that comes to mind

genius kids in thier most powerful stages

2001 kid here me and my older brother had one of the for each of us his died almost every week and mine only died because of the battery

Rebecca was a pet taker as a child? Huge respect

flippin a bag in elementary is downright nutty

You were a genius.

Bro you made a classic Ed Edd n Eddy scheme, but it didn’t backfire on you. What a legend

Nowadays, modern day Tamagotchis have an in-universe babysitter that you can summon in exchange for a smidge of in-game currency!

I love how when your a kid you care so much about you Internet characters and I still have my tamagotchis❤😂

I was playing with my new tamagotchi while I was watching this :)

Eddy would be proud.

some one I knew once started a candy smuggling ring in elementry school and made $200! It stoped when his partner got caught and he got away. So the service actually made $400 total, but it was split and then got taken away from the other kid

Ahh yes let’s make bank from pixel children

i remember selling paper back then. It was fun.

can we all just appreciate this showing us how business savvy and creative she was back then as a kid

We need a full documentary on this business.

Hey, Jaiden thanks for this video because the music sounds amazing.

Bro hustled

Tamagotchi is now an app. And they are even CUTER

This just reminded me of when tamagotchi resurfaced in popularity at my school and my classmates each brought thiers but I had none so I just watched my friends take care of them. And that reminds me I need to get a mothra tamagotchi. Thanks for the reminder! Edit: If anyone is curious, the teachers shut down us taking tamagotchi to school so now either they get smuggled in or we make our parents take care of them.

At my school, they still have Tamagotchis in 2024

Wow...looks like you made a great babysitting "pal" *wink wink*

This is so much better than half of KZfaq channel and TV combined

She didn't peak at high-school, she peaked at elementary school

As a child who used to own a little shop myself, I can tell you, 2-3 bucks a day was a great pay

one singular pal percy:

You’re smarter than I was as a kid-

This is exactly how shorts should be. Something that's not a video but could be made into a video cuz it's such an interesting story

I'm popular for making smiling critters necklace in the classroom and there paper! So everyone got so excited so we asked them then we work together and wear them at recess and lunch

Omg I LOVE the rubber hose-esque style!!!

As a 90s kid myself, where the hell were the Tamagotchi babysitters at my school???

I never had a Tamagotchi, but boy do I remember them all over the tv. There were commercials on every channel for these things back in the day.

That tamogachi at the beginning probably really likes hatsune miku

Im starting to hate how smart these young KZfaqrs were in elementary

Tamagachis gave a feelin' of a full-on obligation. Even not being real, felt like to the haver.

Dammmmmmn even young Becca was making the dough. NOW LOOK AT HER NOW!!!! MAKING ANIMATED SHORTS WHILE MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH!!! *sniffles and sheds a tear* I'm so proud....😢😊

When Rebecca becomes the Monopoly man:

Playtime with percy: We are screwed.

Actually there's a secret pause combination and a secret mute combination. One of them was pressing down all but the middle button and the other was pressing the middle button along with either the left or right but that I can't remember which one.

Please tell me you still have the sign!

YOU HAD A VENDING MACHINE AT YOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?!THE BEST THING I EVER GOT WAS MAC STICKS!YOU LUCKY...person

When I was a child, I LOVED LOVED Tamagotchis. After I grew up a bit, I tried a bit to play with my Tamagotchi and then I just made it die always. 😭

Nice

Noice! A new short!

Imagine accidentally killing somebody’s

That’s genius

I love the cartoony animation style of these. I didn’t grow up with shows with a style like this, but I can appreciate the old school animation. Keep up the good work!

Youre a genius. You EARNED that popularity

She did a good deal

As a 11 year old i still use it

I swear schools need to approve some of these, we tried selling stuff but get punished for doing it like... when youre an adult, you need those skills, not to be slammed when you do it

Girl rolling in cash earlier than I learned to speak my actual native language 💀

Me just using the pause feature when I have to go to school:

The hustle was real 😂😂

These were basically egg baby's that elem school teachers task kids to take care But more digital

A good start to a caring service. Imagine she expand it where she start to become someone like a babysitter.

YO I HAVE A TAMAGOCHI PET I LOVE THOSE! THEY'RE ADORABLE😹💗

I have a dinosaur one and everytime it dies I can just select another animal

You’re the actual example of someone becoming successful even if you were popular in your past.

Hahahaha! That’s awesome!!!

Wow I should take notes thanks

The tamagochis be like:Nice ^^ *starts beeping nonstop*

A TRUE ENTREPRENEUR!!!

Great short! If I must add, the 1997 Tamagotchis did actually have a Pause function... sort of. To pause it, you have to go to the clock screen and press the A and C buttons simultaneously (the word SET would appear). However, when you want to unpause it, you have to set the clock again, which is a bit annoying. Later models such as those in the Tamagotchi Connection line did introduce a true pause function (hold A and B on the main screen), and more recent releases such as the Tamagotchi Pix instead have a built-in sitter, who will babysit your Tamagotchi for 100 Gotchi Points.

I don’t know you were an entrepreneur before you got to animation, I wish that we had these things nowadays, imagine the cash I would earn from babysitting them xD

Your a flippin genius

Sheesh why did so many people have digital children

coool

This is actually incredible

the intro is so cute

Tamagotchis made a come back a little while ago. I’m in high school and I have one and whenever I don’t wanna deal with it I just take the batteries out. Lol

man she was really the mr beast of that school 💀

I respect this so much

i respect the hustle

That's verry interesting!

Damn, that's very industrious!

You should have known the change time-trick to pause your tamagotchi
