XD;; all through childhood, I wanted a damn easy bake oven...but I never got one. I think one christmas my parents did try to get me one, but they were really popular and places were sold out. My cousin got one..lucky bitch.

For years I would bitchto people that I always wanted one, and never got one. LOL

So about two years ago, one of my best friends sent me a christmas present...an easy bake oven. *dies* She said to me, "Now you can get over your traumatic childhood XD"

So I now have an easy bake oven sitting in my closet.

I'm surprised Furby wasn't mentioned at all. I really thought it would be #1...

I had a red and yellow easy bake oven. Fugly it was. Not as pretty and shiny as the ones they make today. I want one of the new ones, and those easy bake snowcones and milkshake machines they make now. How cool would it be to have all that baking stuff in your room? You'd never have to leave.

...wait a minute. Snoopy Snowcone machine. Why does that sound familar? 0__0 I think I had one of those!

I wanted an Easy Bake Oven as a kid, but I never got one. I also really wanted a toy sewing machine...Gosh, I must've asked for that for like, three years in a row. Didn't get either. ;_;

My sister (who is twelve years younger than me) got both. Okay, so things are better for the family than when I was a kid, but it still annoys me. Lucky brat.

Yeah, where was Furby? Furby was one of my toys in my childhood. I thought Furby madness was bigger than Elmo craze? Ugh, I still can't believe that red ball of fluff even made the list. Furby is so much cuter and social than that dope. And I know people of all ages who loved Furby. Can you say the same about Elmo?

This is INSANE.

And both my grown Furbies are dead, my sister put gum in their beaks...
And my darling, PRECIOUS yellow/pink baby Furby too! She blinks and speaks for a second then shuts off again, no matter what I do. ;-;

What a jip. Cardboard boxes didn't even make the list. Are you freaking kidding me?! They are some of the most versatile, customizable, and inexpensive toys on the planet!

I use to collect Beanie Babies a few years back. I've got tons of them, most from 2000 and earlier. I don't really collect any more, accept for the various owls. The owls are awesome. XD

Well, those are more tools than toys. The transmogrifier (box with opening down), the time machine (opening up), the duplicator (opening on the side), they have more practical uses than just fun. ^_^

All in all a good show, but did anyone else get just a tad annoyed with all the dirty jokes? The one that comes to mind is, "Hey, Gilbert! Are you playing with your Erector Set?!" :? Damn I wanted to slap him after the second time he said that.

I actually thought that was one of the funnier things on the show. Because he wasn't basing the joke on the ecchi-ness, but on the children's cruelty.

The other thing I liked was Michael Ian Black kinda having a breakdown and saying, "OK, I'll say whatever you want. How many of these shows have I done? Whatever you want."

Yeah, I could have done without all the swearing and sick humor. But I do agree that Gilbert wasn't being sick so much as he was just making the kind of remarks that kids that age make. Like I knew a guy in my 4th grade class whose last name was Fisher. Do you know how many Fisher Price jokes he had to endure?

Michael Ian Black, how many times has he complained about being on those shows? I love it when he makes those remarks. He did one with the magic 8 ball. "Will this be the last time I'm on VH1?" I'm sure he could reject any job if he wanted to. But he does these shows anyway. It's just more fun to complain than to admit the he needs the money.

I loved the segment they did with the walkie talkies. That cracked me up.

However, I could have done without all the GI Joe making out with Barbie jokes. It was cute until they started with the graphic stuff.
