i'm obsessed with these terrible video game records.

[planetclue]

kid stuff records has been a major fixation of mine for like a year now. i'm so happy i finally get to share my love for it with you all. thanks for sticking with me! <3

I am 100% convinced that there was at least ONE poor mother in 1982 whose 8 year old was utterly obsessed with Pac Man who had to listen to this as many times as parents of 8 year olds in 2013 had to watch Frozen

[blondiemom]

Donkey Kong being a sad, homesick ape who just misses his friends Pauline and Mario is making me more emotional than it probably should

[yourfriendtusks]

This video feels like we came to your house to hang and now we're trapped listening to your pac-man records

[captainghoul]

"Pretzels aren't a fruit? ... well they liked Pretzels anyway" why is that actually so funny to me

[blacknails]

just imagining being a parent and getting one of these for my kid thinking itll be maybe kind of annoying but otherwise reasonable kids music and then watching them inevitably become obsessed with and play it over and over again and how much that would drive me to total madness

[QuoteIzkewl]

The "I am shadow." feels like it's from a completely different piece of media and was added in like a YTP and I had to pause the video for a good four minutes because of how hard it made me laugh

[cillobillo]

Imagine being the audio engineer that did all of these.

[casanovafunkenstein]

The way that Shadow is mixed as if he's whispering directly into your children's ears when they are most likely forced to listen through headphones is perfect fodder for some kind of analogue horror series.
Maybe there's something out there with a similar concept, but there's so much social commentary to be mined in looking back to an era where there was a mass hysteria about hidden messages in rock music corrupting children and teenagers, only for it to happen through a series of novelty records that exist solely to cash in on something popular with kids.

[Zulf]

That Jack Stauber comparison makes me wonder if records like this inspired him - pieces like Lima Bean Man are pretty obviously inspired by mildly unsettling old kids shows, after all.

From humble pizza girl to Mayor of New Donk. Pauline’s leading a full life.

“I am shadow…”

I’m just imagining it saying “the hedgehog” and then transitioning into I am all of me

[bootleggery]

When I first heard Pac-man going "I'm Pac-man, I'm number one, I'm Pac-man, I'm so much fun" I went CRAZY. It was so familiar. Little did I understand that it's very very similar to the intro to Gorillaz song, Clint Eastwood. Thank you KK, for making me go absolutely insane trying to find it.

[philomentus]

You're right, it'd be crazy to think that Sonic is from Florida.

Thank God he's from Hardings, Nebraska.

[quiet_tech]

My favorite part of the albums is that it sounds like they were recorded at 1:00 am in a crowded home so everyone had to sortof whisper-shout instead of actually singing

[noway]

pac-man sounds like a one-time homestar runner character

[MrSkerpentine]

4:45 Fun Fact, the original unused character Bible of Sonic The Hedgehog said that he was born a regular hedgehog near a fast food place in Hardy, Nebraska so you’re not entirely stretching with that joke

[ce.]

love how the guy voicing Mario can't decide whether to do an Italian accent or a French one

[plushdragonteddy]

the bit where the pac man theme gets higher and higher genuinely fills me with stress and rage in a way i can't articulate and makes me physically squirm, and frankly i'm not sure i can forgive you for playing it twice

[Moss-mellow]

I feel like suggesting that Sonic is from Florida is equally terrifying as it is accurate.
