- Creepy. (no audio) In 1964. Yes, 1964. We are going that far. In 1964, Mattel released a
product called the Thingmaker. - Thingmaker.
- Thingmaker. - Which, long story short, was basically an Easy-Bake
Oven on steroids. A glorified hot plate that should have never
been given to children in the first place. - [Advertiser] Just plug it in. - Kids would squirt Plastigoop into a mold and then put them into the Thingmaker. And then a few minutes of heat-induced chemical reactions later, out came a thing. (gasps) Whoa. And probably a bunch of health problems. But first, the thing. Oh my god, the thing? The toy included a selected
amount of mold sets, from cars, fighting men, and, you guessed it, Creepy Crawlers, their most popular mold at the time. - [Advertiser] You can tell it's Mattel. Swell. - Thingmaker was pretty much a major hit for Mattel in the 1960s. But after the decline in sales and a rise in safety concerns, it was discontinued in 1978. What's the safety concern, you ask? It was a hot plate. They gave kids a hot plate and told them, "Have fun with it." You do the math. Or try to do it on the
fingers that weren't burned by the Thingmaker in 1964. - [Advertiser] Thingmaker. - As the '90s approached, the rise of consumer nostalgia rose for the Boomer generation, which, in 1992, prompted a
man named Steven Lebensfeld from a company called Toymax to gain the licensing and patents for a product called Creepy Crawlers. Woo! (Mac laughs) And the female counterpart,
Treasures 'n Trinkets. Come on, get it, girls, 'cause it's pink. And because the mid-'80s seemed to be the period where
people actually started caring about safety of children, instead of squirting Plastigoop
into a sizzling mold, kids injected it into
the mold, into an oven that would not unlock
until it was fully cooled. Ingenuity, right? The new and safer Creepy Crawlers worked, and sales boomed within the first year. And the Creepy empire was born. They even developed a partnership with Power Rangers and Jurassic Park. Everything was looking
up for these little guys. Until it all went crashing in 1996. Then they tried
re-re-releasing the product in the year 2000, but unfortunately that fizzled
out about a year later. But then in 2002, a magical company called Jakks Pacific decided to buy out Toymax and proceeded to keep on releasing
the Creepy Crawlers line, plus some remixes and additions for the next few years after. But now, the toys aren't
even listed on their website. And here we have it today, girl. ♪ Creepy, creepy ♪
(eerie music) - Yeah. The Creepy Crawler, ladies and gentlemen. I like making these videos
with a mic in my hand 'cause I feel like I'm
selling you guys the product. That's, like, my main goal. I'm trying to make you
guys wish you were me. But I feel like all I've done so far is just garner a bunch of
sympathy about my life choices. But Creepy Crawlers, ladies and gents. I remember this toy for a brief period. There was commercial
for it every two seconds on Nickelodeon. And I was a Nickelodeon boy
growing up because I was trashy. And I remember they kept on showing this, and my gullible ass really wanted this. Not because I was a boy and I was into, like, creepy
crawlers and spiders and shit and gushing and goo and
all that fucked shit. It showcased something
that looked very sciencey. And I am a boy that loves
me some science experiments. Well, my parents never got this for me because they said it would be messy. Well, I'm gonna prove them right. Today, we're going to learn that maybe my parents did
make a good parenting decision in not getting me this at all. I believe the original Creepy
Crawlers come with an oven, but this one does not at all. I had to buy this one from eBay. It's been sitting in a
box for, like, two months. But now I've finally got
the strength to open it, and for all of us to see, was our childhood worth it? I don't believe so. Every single one of these
videos I've done so far, we've all just found
out it was just a scam, one after the other. I believe this is the 2000s version. 2010. Oh, this is 2010. Girl? This is from 2010, and I
had to buy it from eBay? Oh, this bitch flopped. ♪ Creepy Crawlers ♪
(eerie music) - The whole box is in English. So now we know why it failed. (laughs) Creepy Crawlers Bug Maker. Make, fill, smash. Ooh. And a different language. Make-o, fill-o, smash-o. (laughs) Ooh, Italiano. French? Le make, le fill, le smash. Ha, oui, oui. And I also like that, on the box, they also advertise
other toys you can get. Like you can get a toy
that smashes the bugs, instead of you smashing them yourself. That's fucking stupid. ♪ Creepy ♪
(eerie music) - Includes one Bug Maker main unit, one knife. Oh no, we're giving kids knives? Jesus Christ. What is this? And requires four D-size batteries. Not included. Give me a second. ♪ Creepy ♪ - Okay. Jesus Christ. Had to go digging for a few minutes, girl, but we got it. As you can see, this
package has not been open, but I believe I've had these batteries for, like, three years. D-size batteries was
such a 2000s toy thing because these batteries
are fucking expensive. These batteries probably cost more than a lot of the toys that require them used to cost back in the day. I'm so sorry, parents. I'm just now realizing
how expensive it was to raise a child. (Mac laughing) That's why I'm gay, bitch. The tape was completely disintegrated. Let's keep that in mind. Ooh. Get out, get out. (box rumbling) There we go. There he is, there we go. Fuck you. (Mac moaning) Okay, let me stop. So what we have here is some radioactive-looking shit. This looks like it was, used to be something, but over the years it
turned into something else. This is gonna be fun. I mean, ooh, wow. Ooh, my god. Don't you wish you were me? About to get a chemical burn and shit? Girl, this looks like it evaporated. Molds, eggs, with a syringe. That is... (stern music) Kids don't know what drugs
are at that age, okay? Let's just stop thinking about that. And, boom, here it is. Creepy Crawler. Ooh.
- Help me, help me. - Now what do I do? Where do the batteries go? Why does it need batteries? What part of it is battery operated? Where are we? (woman screaming) The little quick start instructions here, the first thing it says is, "Read the main instructions sheet for using the product for the first time." There was no instructions sheet. So now I feel like I was just fucked with. The person that sold me this on eBay told me it was unopened, but, girl, I think it was opened. Girl, I might need to get my money back. Okay, give me a second. I'm gonna go to Google. - Creepin' and crawlin'. - So a lot transpired in the 20 minutes that I paused this video. First off, I have diarrhea. Just feel the need to say that out loud. Y'all probably didn't ask
for this, but you know what? We've gotten close over
the years. (laughs) Second off, while Googling, trying to figure out how all this works, I decided to open up
everything and laid it out. I then found the instructions. Which I feel like is kind of a flaw, okay? When I open up packages
from, like, the 2000s or so, usually the instructions
are, like, right in front. As soon as you pull everything out, the instructions come with it. But in this thing, they decided to package the
instruction with the tray. So you just go in straight-up thinking they
forgot the instructions, and you start opening everything up, and then, suddenly, boom, the instructions are right in
front of your fucking face. I don't like that. I don't like that game. That's called deception. But here we are. I put it all together. I put in the batteries. It requires four big-ass
D batteries, girl. No wonder this shit flopped. Do you know how much D batteries cost? No, real question.
(circus music) Please answer me that, because I bought those,
like, two years ago. I do not remember. Caution. Do not eat. Why? When I first got this, did I believe that it was a candy maker? 100% strongly remember that
they made a candy maker for candy bugs once. Like, I can't be going crazy about this. Like, they made this before. They made candy makers before. Like I'm not crazy, right? I don't know, but I can't
eat this one, apparently. So now I'm sad. Keep away from eyes. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Is there a different language? This whole thing is just in English. It's only English. That's so disappointing. So we already have a mold
in the molding block. I'm just gonna go with this mold. I don't give a shit about... What is this? What is this? What the hell is this? Girl, I don't know. "If you wish to create a hollow bug that you can fill with bug goo, use the clear bug molds." Place the core, what? Girl, I don't fucking know. I just wanna make a bug. Don't give me options. What the fuck is this? - [Advertiser] Creepy Crawlers. - Insert the bug mold frame
into the Bug Maker as shown. We gotta put its pussy
up towards the dick. Not scientific words. Shut up. Loose the bellows by rotating
locking rings counterclockwise until it stops. Okay, okay, okay, I was like,
"Girl, what's the bellows?" "Warning, to avoid personal injury, never insert hands or foreign object into the Bug Maker dispenser unit." Or what? You gonna fight me? Because I'm ready to fucking fight. We can fight. I can fight. Do you know I can fight? Do you know I can fight? I can fight.
(woman screaming) So we gotta insert two bug eggs into the bellow? Girl, okay, whatever, wig. Do I open it and grab it, and then place it in there
by itself, like, raw, dog? Girl, wig, let's go. ASMR opening bug tray. (plastic crackling) That was not pretty. Let me do the other one. Let me do the other one real quick. (plastic crackling) Wait, hold on. (plastic thudding) Did you cum yet? I'm so sorry. So three eggs in the pussy. Let's go. Ooh. Ooh. What if this is not working at all, girl? What if I can't even
get this off the phone? Are you guys ready for this? Ready for this? (seductive music) Fuck yeah. Okay, now let's do a red one. (Mac moaning) There we go. And into the hole? Yummy. You hard yet? "Align the tabs on the bellows with the notches on the dispenser unit and attach the bellows
onto the dispenser unit." Ooh, what the fuck does that mean? It's time to turn it on, girl. "Now the power on indicator will light up indicating the unit is turned on." So here is the moment of truth. Will it turn on? Let's see. Did it? I can't tell. The light's on, the
light's on, the light's on. Okay, so it's on it. It is on. Okay, so I'm into this. You see this? They have an entire different situation about heating up the Plastigoop
and entering into the mold, compared to when you used
to just have to, like, put it in a oven or, like, a fucking hot
plate bullshit shit. Now they have an entire mechanicism-nism, with the twisting and the fucking. And you know, girl. You know. Where does the knife
come into place, though? Like, why did you give kids a knife? Why do I feel like I need
to stab somebody with this just to prove a point? ♪ Creepy Crawlers ♪ - The ready light will
come on in 10 to 14 minute. Girl, we are only doing one bug. - Crawl, crawl.
(bug screeches) - Okay, it's ready, look.
- I'm horny. - That was the longest 10
minutes of my goddamn life. "Press down on the handle
of the dispenser unit and make sure the nozzle is entered into the big mold, TM, hole. Before each use, when the unit is cold, use the tweezers to remove any hard..." Okay, whatever, fuck. Okay, so into the hole. Press the bellows down slowly and gently. Are y'all ready? (laughs) Okay, here we go. Oh, shit, it's already filling up. (Mac gasping) Oh my god. Ah. Come on, is that it? I think that's supposed
to fill the whole bug. Why is it not... The bug mold is not fully filled. It has not fully filled the bug mold. It said three eggs, and the three eggs did
not fill the bug mold. Can I just put in the egg? I'm just gonna put in the egg. I'm gonna hurt myself. I'm an adult, I can do it.
- Help me. - Okay, no, I got wait, I gotta wait, I gotta wait a few minutes. Oh, it's not even ready anymore. Jesus Christ. I'm just gonna sit here and wait. I'm gonna wait for it to... Oh, nevermind, it just turned green. Here we go. (laughs) Are y'all ready? Here we go. (Mac gasps) Hello? Come on, come on, don't do this to me. Don't do this to me. It's not coming out. Guys, it's not coming out. Guys, I think we broke it. (laughs) Wait. Nope, oh my god. Shut up. Did I really just break it? Why is it not oozing out anymore? The girl is not girling. She's not girling. (gasps) Oh my god. Putting another one in. I will not give up. Come on, come on, come on. Come on, give me some. There we go. Nope, nope, I lied. I lied, I lied, I'm lying. It's not... (bellows hissing) That was a weird-ass noise. It's not doing it anymore. I think it got clogged, and I'm too lazy to figure
out how to unclog that shit. Yep, it got clogged. It's just pushing out from the top. (microphone thuds) (Mac laughing) Oh wow. Well, ladies and gentlemen, here we are. Half a bug. (laughs) Welp, let's put it in an ice
container for three minutes. Wee! And there we go. Like, it just gave up on me. Wait, let me see. Oh my god. Yep, it's broken, girl. Broke the toy within the first attempt. Girl, that has to be a record. Like, it just gave up. Wig. (laughs) Shall I sing to us all as we

(eerie music) - This is it. This is what we fought for
in the 2000s, you know? This is what they brought back for us. Creepy Crawlers. I can see where it's trying to go. Like, it made half a spider, which is, like, really cute, but at the same time,
what the fuck, you know? I'm the loser here. I'm the loser after all, guys. I cannot sell this for shit. I think I'm never going to leave the space of y'all just giving
me a bunch of sympathy. But what did we learn today, kids? We learned that this shit was stupid and we were sold on imagination and spirit. What did we learn today? If you try to bring back
a toy from the 1960s, it's gonna perform like
a toy from the 1960s. Racist. - It's icky.
- Oh, yummy. Ooh, ooh, eat it up. Oh, mm. That's what I like in my meals. That's hilarious. But you know what? It's a video. It's a YouTube video we're
going to do and publish. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you have any other toys
that you want me to review or try to get my hands on, leave it in the comments down below. Shout-out to @infintewolf and @Gabe-with-a-bunch-of-numbers for retweeting my last video on Twitter. And that's it. Need to go shower, girl. I feel sticky. Like, I feel like I'm
covered in chemicals. I don't know why. Oh, this is all supposed to be the goop that was gonna go inside the bug. So when you squish it, it's supposed to make
like a, "Ah, bug goop." Boys are gross. Anyways, my name is Mac. I have a Shorts channel
if you wanna check it out. Also, the Japan trip is
still going on, August 12th, if you guys wanna join. There'll be a link in the description for all the information for that. Other than that, I'm going to go. Don't forget to like, comment, share, and some screaming. (Mac screams)
