*REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DUEL WITH HONOR, NOT DRUGS!*

Yugi : "Don't do drugs kid" Also Yugi : *Activates POT of Greed

"It's time to duel!" He said, revealing he already had Exodia in his hand, instantly winning the duel

"With everything you need to duel" "Trading Cards not included"

Knowing Yugi I am pretty sure he would challenge drugs to a duel and when he won he would banish then to the shadow realm

90s and early 2000s were THE good ol’ days. Remember waking up early Saturday mornings for an all morning Kids WB session? Cereal in hand 👌

Atem even years later telling me not to do the forbidden substances has stuck with me

There is actually a guy working on a real dueling disk and system. It's called project A.T.E.M

Say no to drugs and yes to card games on motorcycles

In the US, Fall 2005 - Spring 2006 was great because for some weeks, there was a new episode of Yu-Gi-Oh SIX days a week! Monday - Friday, a new episode of GX would premiere on Cartoon Network and then on Saturday, a new episode of YGO season 5 would air on Kids WB (can’t remember if they were CW yet). What a time to be alive!

Remember those old Kids WB promos that had all the cartoon characters interacting with each other? Felt so surreal seeing Ash Ketchum and Batman next to each other.

"Actually I do smoke marijuana. It's good stuff!" -Yami Yugi, YGO Abridged [lol]

Yugi be like: "I can't cheat at Duel Monsters, if I'm always high on the Marijuanas."

Remember kids, Say NO to Pot ( *of greed* )

Yami: don't do drugs and dishonor yourself Sam sniffing yugioh cards: Damn right Yugi, we do the strong stuff

I actually had the Gate Guardian figure while my mom was questioning why is there a weird looking face at the crotch

Yami : "If someone wants to trade you Goblin's Secret Remedy, say no, that's playing a game I can't win"

I was actually recommended a lot of old Yu-gi-oh commercials (half were ones like these and the other half were just time slot announcements for KidsWB, CW, etc) a couple of weeks ago just like these. They usually only have a couple thousand views but there are surprisingly a lot of them out there.

"Yugioh is basically cardboard crack" Cimooooo 2020

Ahh, I remember having the model kit of the Winged Dragon of Ra! I also had a Thousand-Eyes Restrict toy that made a whooshing noise when you pressed a button on its head. Eyes Restrict are still a favorite archetype of mine-I'd love to own that toy again.

KidsWB and 4Kids were the kings of weird commercials during the late 90's and early 2000's. I remember a Pokemon advert that had Batman and Joker in it.

Man I'm bummed you didn't watch the commercial for Launcher Spider. Dead as they had a whole ass commercial for a level 7 normal monster that wasn't even as strong as Dark Magician but that commercial was so fire I fw that car so much when I was in 4th grade and I even still have my original print of that card.

Yugi: I duel with honor, that's why I never do drugs, it's for my friends. Mario: If you smoke, you'll go to hell.

Man some of these are a huge blast from the past. I don't remember seeing the model kit commercials but one of my friends had the models for Ra and Gate Guardian

“honor” “to protect and maintain” don’t do pot (of greed)

I had the Red eyes black metal model, It's made of very cheap plastic. I still have the head lol

I had a duel disk back in the early 2000’s. It was really awesome not having to be playing my cards on the rough, dirty cement of our sidewalk, as me and my friends always played outside. 😂

Toyz R us is still open in South Africa. We literally still have mega stores that have been at the same location for 30 years. We even have Babies R us now

I remember owning a Dark Magician action figure made by mattel as a kid. He had a button on the back so you could wave his staff for his attack. Idk if there was a commercial for it or not. I might still have it buried somewhere at my parents house.

You say you never saw them.... but let's not forget that you were a kid.... there is probably a ton of stuff you forgot and don't realize it...

I had a Slifer model kit. I like how that first ad even showed the Obelisk even though in the US we hadn’t got to Battle City yet!

As I've been rewatching the original series, it feels like being teleported back in time. It's almost like I can remember exactly where I was, which room of the house I was in, which friends of mine were with me, which friends of mine I talked about the show with, the smell of the bed or couch I watched the show on, etc., with each individual episode.

A Yugioh Commercial is The Masterpiece

As a wise man once said: Don't do drugs, smell yugioh cards

Fun Fact: Toy R Us is still open in NJ

6:10 HOLY SHIT!!! I completely forgot about this commercial!! It's funny because I remember seeing it literally every single week on Saturday mornings but then they abruptly stopped playing it and I completely forgot about it! And I remember enjoying it at first but then it got annoying after a while. 😅😂

Sam’s anti drug is smelling yugioh cards😂😂

No wonder Yami Yugi always won. He was actually *cracked*

Could you imagine if any other the other Yu-Gi-Oh protagonists had their own Marijuana PSA? Jaden: I can't get my game on if I smoked Marijuana! Yusei: I can't rev it up with my pals if I were to smoke Marijuana! Yuma: I'd be feeling all kinds of the wrong flows if I smoked Marijuana! Yuya: I wouldn't be able to make anyone smile if I smoked Marijuana! I couldn't think of anything for Yusaku since I stopped after Arc-V.

I love LittleKuriboh's parody of the drug PSA where Yami tells kids not to smoke marijuana because it costs money that would be better spent on Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

best drug in yugioh: friendship

I had the gaia the dragon champion figure. It was essentially 2 toys in 1.

I love that a bunch of old toy commercials had kids going against each other in underground fight clubs

if it helps clarify, Toys-R-Us still exists to this day all across Canada. When the company announced it was closed all it's locations some rich guy up here bought out all the Canadian stores to keep them open and running. They even still hold Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments, although on a much smaller scale and for kids only.

Damn I feel old lol felt like a kid again

The Red Eyes Black Dragon model was nice, but I didn't know they had the god monsters.

I'm a 30 year old man, my first Yu-Gi-Oh cards were magic ruler, couldn't even build a deck for a while. Eventually got obsessed with it, as did my brother, but we stopped playing after synchros started. Now I'm playing master duel and getting back into it and I like y'all's work. Keep it up!

The new Yugioh Duel Disk by Proplica is a fully usable with sleeved decks. Has lights and sounds for all monster zones, plays official music from the Japanese dub, and has extra deck and banish zone, and is very nice and hefty. Goes for around $300 to $400. Came out in 2020.

You know you a yugi-boomer when you remember every commercial 😂👴

Is ridge wallet a part of yugioh commercial too 😂

The CG blue eyes is super impressive. It's a two second shot but looks good even today

On that first commercial, I'm like 90% sure I owned that Launcher Spider figure. Wish I still had, it'd make a badass monster miniature in a dnd campaign

Damn I remember every one of these commercials. I miss old Yugioh

So, you're telling me, that i can't smoke pot if i want to be a good duelist? Dang it...

"That's playing a game I can't win" Dude that hit me so fucking hard in the heart I don't know why Maybe it's the music over the quote or knowing close friends who turned to strangers on drugs It made me cry Like what!?!?!

These commercials brought back to an incredible time growing up waking up every Saturday mornings on Kids WB and coming home after school watching weekday afternoons watching Jackie Chan Adventures, Mucha Lucha, Xiaolin Showdown, Transformers: Cybertron, The Batman, Pokémon Johto League Adverntures or Chronicles and of course Yu-Gi-Oh!. To me the classic shows were that but the one that impacted me my whole entire life was Yu-Gi-Oh! It made me led to believe I would beg for my parents to buy me starter decks and structure decks but my parents say no until 2002 I got me both Yugi and Kaiba Starter Decks. Seeing all of these commercials brought me back nostalgia, it's never seen on TV anymore but Konami used commercials for duel packs and starter decks of their respective seasons. I've never gotten any action figures but the one model kit I got from my dad when I was 14 was the one and only Slifer the Sky Dragon model kit. I opened the box and the beauty of it was the pieces with instructions got me so crazed with putting them together, no clue or tape. Press and click the pieces, put it in a stand and you got Slifer striking its menacing stare when it's summoned. You guys made this review just takes me back. For us kids I'm happy to say it made our childhoods awesome and these gems are etched in our hearts and minds for a long time. Had it happened today meaning if Konami set up more action figures and other products in conjuction with Mattel, Hasbro or any toy company we'll go crazy and kids today would beg parents for more like we did to fall in love and grasp Yu-Gi-Oh! in all its glory. What a treasure. And people, children, please don't do drugs. Have faith and believe in the Heart of the Cards.

"Actually I do smoke marijuana, it's gooooooood stuff"

Yugioh players. Drug free is the way to be.

I have a video suggestion, you guys should go over every person Yugi/Atem have scared for life or killed in the early manga before it went to the playing cards. I think that be fun to go over

love the way Yami is like don't do drugs kids, Jayden is like - AY I'M FKIN BAKED Y'ALL GO HERO DUDE BRING ME THAT DANK POT OF KUSH

I had the launcher Spider toy, I loved it cause it shot missiles and walked

I like this channel so much

I got that Red-Eyes Black Metal for Christmas as a kid. No idea what happened to it. Thank you for resurfacing some wonderful memories.

At 1 point I had the Exodia with the fire ball, I'll have to take a look to see if I still have it in a bin at my parents house. Had that, and 1 other one. Also had a bunch of the mini figures with the plastic cards and the duel arena for it, still got some of those figures but the arena was recently tossed because of a basement flood.

Drugs are probably a cheaper hobby than yu gi oh

The problem with those duel discs is that your deck has to have 40-50 cards in a decks and you can put sleeves on your cards, or you couldn’t fit the deck in the holder, or cards in the slots. First hand experience.

Man, I wish I could have seen these commercials back when I was a kid. I would have been so hyped for them lmao

I'm so glad you guys did the Blue-Eyes vs Exodia "live-action movie"-style commercial cuz that was hands down my favorite since when. I've been trying to develop a series based on that core memory!

Sheeeeit id love to see Konami or someone build a real working duel disk with hologram projectors 😂 hahaha but that anti drug commercial was cringe AF Lol

I love your videos especially this one you're awesome

What's funny is ive Never actually seen any of these commercials, but I remember seeing the toys and stuff EVERY WHERE in my area. All the Walmarts, targets, KB toys had tons of them. My toys r us had the smallest selection surprisingly.

Do you guys know Little Kuriboh's version of the anti drug commercial? It's just called "Yami - My Antidrug". I had never seen the original commercial until now in your video, I didn't even know this existed. So now I finally know what LK was referencing there. 😄🙌

Me: I think you should get the Obelisk model Orbital: sir I don't think that would be a wise option Me: If you don't be quiet orbital 7 I'll rip your circuits

Sheeesh

Omg the nostalgia. I had the duel disk, built the red eyes, and gate guardian. I could never find obelisk. I feel happy and old

I had the exodia, the gate guardian, and the red eyes models. I think the red eyes model had these really soft and flexible wings and as a result, they came out of the box SUPER warped and never looked right. At least I have this vague memory of that, awakened by seeing those wings in the commercial. I think I actually broke it by like, trying to use boiling water and clamps to try and straighten them.

I used to own one of those duel disks, they are pretty worthless.

I did have one of those Yugioh Model kits because my best friend gave it to me on my Birthday way back in 2002. it was the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon that could also be a normal blue eyes white dragon if you didn't mind big gaping holes, and of course it was made out of the cheapest paint so naturally the wings looked like garbage within 6 months.

Yo the CGI for the monsters in the LOB commercial is fantastic

Marijuana is literally what influenced me to start looking into the Meta and wtf "these Black and White Monster Cards do" as I put it before I knew how Synchros and XYZs worked.

I remember seeing that old Yugioh anti-drug psa along with the don't drink and drive ads and other anti-weed ads that were shown as commercials during Channel One News in my middle school years. They stopped showing it around the year 2006 though

I remember a 2003 issue of U.S. Shonen Jump that was advertising the toys for the battle city arc, including the Dark Magician Girl with the magical cylinder launcher. Over a decade later, Figma released a high articulation DMG figurine that was 8 times more expensive than what Mattel was distributed.

I had the models AND I got a duel disk from my 8th Birthday. I still remember it like 20 years later.

It never having a few original Yu Gi Oh toys and models. From what I remember I had a Kairyu Shin, Exodia, and Blue Eyes. I had them sitting up on my top shelf and I was on the top bunk so I would always admire how awesome they looked

I remember those model kits. Me and my brother each had one. One of us had the Red Eyes and the other had the Launcher Spider.

ion really play anymore but im still subbed cause I like you guys, I barely remember all your names and stuff but dude to the right is super chill. he needs to be in more videos and be more of a focus point.

Fun Fact: the Duel Disk only worked on the left arm. They never released one for those who are left-handed, like myself... 😥. Still, I'll never forget the day I first saw this on tv. I lost my mind.

I had the big Yugioh toys, I had Exodia and Rude Kaiser I think Dark Magician, I believe I had more but I specifically remember those. I also had an original Duel Disk but it snapped in half during a move to a new place, it was really heavy. I remember all of these commercials

Speaking of 2000s, anyone remember when Carl's Jr had those Millenium Item toys? I remember that but haven't seen any images online, probably because nobody had anything to show. Also that "Ioh-oh-oh!" hits differently.

That first commercial I remember having the Exodia one from Kmart. It looked awesome, but got tired of it really quick because it was too stiff and had a terribly loud and tinny noise when you pressed the button on his back. I also remember those duel blades as well. My friend had two of them. They looked pretty cool when you had them on, but dueling with them was not practical at all. Your arm gets tired really quick from the weight and straps. In the end we just ended up playing with them on the floor. 😆

You guys gotta get that red eyes kit. Also one good commercial you missed was for the kaiba and yugi evolution starter decks. It was a kid who just straight up no tributes a blue eyes and is like "that's game wanna go again?" Gets me every time 😂👍

OMG EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY THANK YOU I AM A HUGE FAN OF YAMI YUGI

yes toyrus still exists in canada it was bought out by another toy company before it collasped here and it was resold to someone else a few years ago but it's still around.

I never saw the toy commercials. I saw the figures in all kinds of stores but not so much the models. The one exception was when visiting my grandparents on the east coast in upstate New York. This was well before Big Lots was loctaed here in my part of California so we would always shop there when we went to the east coast. For those who dont have one, it is a store that bulk purcheses unsold stock from other stores then sells the products at a discount from the MSRP but still higher than what they bought it for. It is a lot like thw Dollar tree but they have everything from food to furniture. One year they had a bunch of the Harpies' Pet Dragon figures on the shelf for a few dollars so I nabbed one. It was presented as a model but having already been somewhat into Gundam and real work vehicle models it felt very misadvertised. Rather than designed like a true model it was essentially a build a figure or unassembled toy. The commercial you showed better expresses the simplicity of it much better than box advertising. I honestly wasn't dissappinted in the overall figure since it was still a legibly decent toy of a lesser but still cool monster from the show. Being able to easily afford it with my vacation money also helped. Had I had to pay full price, I likely would have been so pleased however, likly accounting for its appearance at the discount store. It did feel really magical though to find something like this at one of those stores as well. As an adult and in the current day with stores like that all over the place, it isn't such a big thrill. As a kid however, it felt like a big deal to come across a brand name product I genuinely liked at one of those stores. Even something like the figure I got was still a treasure because it was an officially licensed Yugioh toy I had never even heard of, affordable to me with the little money I may have had leftover from a holiday. Something similar happened years later when I was in college at the blockbuster that opened up down the street from my parents house and my college. They had a small rack with novelties at a mark down price. These oftwn included third party repackaged blisters of old TCGs including Yugioh. That is actually where I got my copies of the Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, Warrior and Spellcaster Structure decks. They were marked down to $2 and $5 dollars at times so I would grab multiples. They even had huge combo boxes once that came with the water deck and a few loose GX packs. I think I grabbed a few for $5 or $7 a piece at the time. I remember pack with with Air Neos on the front had a couple stuffed in each box. Seeing now how expensive those decks and packs are makes me wish I held onto them over opening and trading away the things I didn't need. It helped me rebuild my collection to play with my friends at college adorably though so I don't really regret it. Even if they were considered less than great cards at the time, they enabled me to play something with real strategy and I likly wouldn't know they are worth something now if I didn't get them to open then. I also remember a bunch of failed TCG and other products on those shelves. Creepy Freaks was one of them you would see started boxes for marked down to a few bunch but never really getting bought. Soon after those things would start winding up at the Dollar tree anyway so it was no longer a good deal. You would start seeing thinga like Dinosaur king and Shaman king decks at the dollar stores all the time suddenly. Even Cyberdark impact showed up there at one point for a dollar a pack. Since it was considered a crappy pack even at the time, no one cared too much but I still thought it was cool for the price. My parents got me an entire box for my birthday so I dodnt just get sadled with commons. I honestly loved the Cyberdarks so pulling an affordable playset was awesome. I also collected Ultimate rates of any kind and got a few nice ones. I got a couple copies of vanities ruler and fiend before they were as big as they got and even had one of them in Ulti rare. I remember attempting to build an anti-meta troll deck using the barrier statues and Vanitys monsters as bosses to lock out special summons of any kind. This was when Hero Fusion and Synchro were big so it never had a real strategy to win by but disrupted a lot of strategies in fun ways for decks that typically won effortlessly. Making my friends have to work for the win with some of thier most formulaic combo reliant decks was worth the loss.

Me smoking a bowl while playing duel links and listening to the video: -Yugi: I know marihuana is harmful -me: O.O -Yugi: it would make me loose my concentration in duels. At that moment I realized I am not King of games because I smoke lmao

Kaiba should be the one doing the "don't do drugs" commercial. After all Yugi has two personalities, talks to himself, has stunted growth, and spent hours in his room solving the Millennium Puzzle over many years.

Being a 2000's kid, these toy commercials were the shit! Bakugan, Beyblade, Ben 10, Battle Strikers, Yu-Gi-Oh, Nerf, Transformers, you name it, they all had it! One particular thing that I noticed is they all made these game look like illegal, underground events that kids and teens always attended and compete to see who's king of the streets.

Ironically, I did end up getting the Obelisk model kit, appx. months after it had advertised, funny as at the store I had sought out Slifer, and at the time only available was so. I didn't quite remember Obelisk from the ad, yet Obelisk like powerhouse "divine" cards were a trend for me- Raviel, Wicked Dreadroot, etc. wherein I would usually wind up with the physical monstrosity, then steps later usually the whole cast. Even with Red Dragon Archfiend this occured, being that I had ended up with major protagonist pulls, only to nearly have that mirrored with Jack Atlas

Yo this unlocked a DEEP memory. I had that Exodia figure and I didn't even know I had one until just now.

Yugi: "Don't do drugs kids" Georno: "Welcome to da club"
