Ramble: Favorite defunct or charmingly outdated websites

trans flag starcatcher

the experience of being a zoomer in a third word country with tech arriving super late here so every time a foreigner says “it’ll probably sound strange to Gen Z” i know i’ll be able to relate… just realized i’ve had the same experience with technology as the average millenial in america

I love hearing about the vintage ponies. It makes me so nostalgic for early internet and all the old toy sites I browsed. <3

i actually went out of my way to recreate the tigerfruit smoothie as a result of this vid

I was going to recommend the article The Making of an American Girl by Aisha Harris, which is about Addy and how her existence was pushed and then carefully crafted by African American creators, and how she was introduced to a demographic of primarily Caucasian young girls, but it’s behind a paywall now, there are some other articles that look good though. Good thing there are several other black historical dolls now, I get why they wanted to start with a story of escaping slavery, but it really stinks that they took long to make more characters for black girls to identify more with in a way that isn’t primarily about posing intense awareness. Now there is a Harlem renaissance character, a civil rights era character, and the girl from the New Orleans best friend duo (not including 3 African American history mysteries main characters existent only in books).

bruh my millennial heart i loved computer class Oregon trail and learning to speed type was a blast …im convinced its why millennials type the fastest out of any generation even gen z and alpha lmao

As a kid growing up with g3 ponies, i had two sparkle ponies and i also loved them. I had an orange one with i think orange hair? And my brother got the one my mom thought looked like a boy, a purple one with purple hair. Then as we played with them all the ponies became my ponies but that one still feels like my brothers. My orange sparkle pony i think got played with rougher than the others, or her hair was just more fragile and so she started balding. So she became my grandma pony because her silver hair was falling out. Anyway i also love the sparkle ponies!

"that's not me either" with the picture of the water skiing elephant 😂 That's the hardest I've laughed in a long time

the escape slavery minigame killed me, what the hell

After getting back into Neopets as an adult, Battledome is almost purely a money making endeavor. Which is great because it's funding my newfound stamp collection, but I wouldn't necessarily call it fun in its own right. But neither is collecting virtual postage stamps, and I'm having a great time with that, so. Eye of the beholder, maybe!

Release the final fantastic beasts review pls I’ve never seen any of them but I love your first two reviews

I forgot about Boyd’s bears, my stepmom loved them! I remember staring at them in the curio cabinet because we weren’t allowed to touch them

flutter valley has an archive from 2003 at fluttervalley.com! later archives (like 2016ish) seems to be some spam website that I didn't linger on, but it was fun to click around the early stuff and read :)

I specifically requested Addy when I was a kid, I was like 7 or 8 and I don't think I understood that she was enslaved. As a homeschooled white girl in the 90s/early 2000s, there were a lottt of knowledge gaps until I went to public school later

I just started watching this but in case someone hasn't mentioned this already (at least I couldn't find anything from scrolling through a bunch of comments), the neopet that can turn into food (Chia) does so through magical chia pops and not the lab ray! So you can definitely still do that without access. Most of them are around a million np a pop but a few are way cheaper.

I would definitely be here for the fantastic beasts 3 video, I stopped watching the films after the 1st one but I like hearing about how misguided the later films are out of sheer morbid curiosity. and your video on fantastic beasts 2 is one of my favourites to revisit. about the controversy around it, I think I've seen someone from WB state that JKR's transphobia and general behaviour on the internet was also actively tainting the brand and it contributed to the decision to stop making the films, so maybe if you touched on that in the video it would help establish upfront that you're not trying to stan JKR or sweep her actions under the rug or anything else ppl might jump to if they see a video with fantastic beasts in the title...I mean it's probably more complicated than that but either way, I hope you find a way to make the video and be comfortable putting it out there bc I'd be really eager to see it

THE VERY FIRST PEGASUS PONY HAVING THE TRANS FLAG COLOURS I'M CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP <3333

I did not expect to be reminded of ytmnd today omg.

i was obsessedddd with the historical american girl dolls as a kid. I didn’t have any of them sadly but i did read many of the AGD books from my public library and looked dreamily at the catalogues as a child. I also played the flash games on the website heavily, one of which was helping Molly, the WW2 doll with the braids, in creating a victory garden because of the homefront rationing measures lol these girls went through so much.

I found you through your Fantastic Beasts 2 video after having seen it in theatres accompanying a friend, so personally I'm quite jazzed at the thought of you talking about the series some more haha

Re: UK-only releases it may also be that houses are smaller on top of the smaller population Jenny mentioned so there's probably less nostalgia/speculative hoarding outside of collectors (who would never sell) as compared to North America?

I somehow played a few Cartoon Orbit games for the first time a couple months ago. They've been preserved or remade, I guess

I know this came out while ago, but it's crazy to hear jenny talk about discovery kingdom. I grew up going there and also had a shouka plush 🤦‍♂️wild times

Computer class (we called it ICT) was definitely a thing in schools here in the uk until at least 2012? At least at my first school lol

I had the same experience of Zany Brainy giving me a ton of Mews. I wonder if every ZB had one dedicated Mew kid they dumped all those cards on.

you flashing through those g3 ponies was so nostalgic, i had almost every one you showed and i completely forgot about them

Im still mad they deleted all the old neopets accounts, such a scrooge move and for what lol it could have had a huge nostalgia revival but instead my friends and I all went to the website and our accounts were deleted so got sad and didnt engage with it any further lol and the stupidest thing ever is that mine does not even appear to be deleted, and despite having access to the account from which it was created they wont let me in, as if a 10 year old child would be allowed to put in their real name and birthday to sign up for a website with forums in 2001... I even remember the first password but they were part of a huge data breach so i guess everyone does haha im just salty i wanted to go to jelly land and play that game where you eat jelly to acquire mass one more time. Also didnt they accidentally inflate the value of old accounts by reskinning the neopets in a way everyone hates causing all the hacking in the first place lol so many bad calls for one little whimsical website...

i just now learned watching this video that zany brainy was a chain and not a local toy store. i was so mad as a kid when it closed !! i got my favorite zebra plush there

Coming back to this video to finish watching it - and the doll/bear hospital adoption thing was a big deal with Cabbage Patch Kids and there's STILL a Cabbage Patch hospital open in north Georgia where you can adopt a doll and there's a "nurse" and a naming ceremony and it's bonkers. I really want to go. It's called Babyland General.

So, Ponyisland (The website) IS still running. I play it every day XD I totally understand the not understanding the mechanics. it definitely takes time. I love it tho..

As a zoomer we did have computer lab until like middle school. My teacher had a word doc filled with kid friendly games. Mostly Starfall and if we were lucky cool math games. I would sneak on YouTube tho and watch mlp music videos.

So glad you finally got your Yellow Moondancer! For me it was an original print of Imakuni's Doduo, a Japanese Pokemon card that was the height of mythos for me. And I finally got one!

I hope Jenny does the 3rd fantastic beasts vid. I hate when projects go unfinished.

So setting aside the weirdness of the CYOA escape from slavery game being about slavery, I also find it weird that this is essentially a game about teaching children how to run away into the wilderness

Were there any differences between neopets and webkinz? I grew up with webkinz but neopets sounds very similar

the girls from new orleans were marie grace and cécile and they lived in the 1850s, claudie lived in harlem in the 1920s 😊

i think my class year was one of the ass end of classes that had computer class and it was so tedious. like we already knew most of it so it was useless and there were TWO whole teachers even though most of us could probably do computer shit as competently as them it was so frustrating

I’m 21, had computer class in elementary school! I do remember when they started giving us computers though, but that started in middle school

I'm trans and I hate JKR, but I love watching your fantastic beasts videos!

Jenny I am just now watching this but I got SO excited when you mentioned all the old Disney park websites. My college roommate and I used to browse the 20k Leagues website together almost 20 years ago. It’s so cool to see it through your eyes.

I LOVED ZAINYBRAINY AS A KID!! I got my childhood stuffed animal there, and she’s still with me to this day! 🥺💖 No one ever knows what I’m talking about when I bring up this store too!

I don’t understand why anyone would be against you analyzing the last fantastic beasts. It’s objectively a terrible movie and you’d tear it to shreds. I can’t think of anything JK deserves more than to have a belated review of her terrible movie go so viral that it comes across her miserable little Twitter feed and makes her lose sleep 😂

Jenny as a transgender person I give you full permission to do the fantastic beasts video…. please…. give them the evermore treatment

As a Gen Z still in college, I had computer class all the way through high school! Kinda funny to think about actually

Crazy bones! 😂 I loved those for a minute

ok jenny, I'm in the middle of watching this one but I just had to pause and comment - I REMEMBER MOONDANCER'S DREAM and it was my fave too. I went down a similar wayback machine rabbit hole a while back. Cloverflowers was another favorite of mine and I'm still friends with the author. ;; <3

knew we were in for a good time the moment i saw the acara hat 🫡

fuck i wish i was in realm town right now

Randymoore.com is only 3788.00! We can do it!

Would be very in favor of the 3rd Fantastic Beasts video, the writing on those films was abysmal and ripe for commentary

I'm slowly becoming an expert on MLP via exposure to Jenny's rambles.

Jenny not knowing anything about the historical AG books was so painful to me lmao. Meanwhile I'm screaming "BANANABELLE" at the screen!

Hi Jenny, how are you? I have nothing witty to say, just wondering how you're doing. BTW, still hoping for Jenny U.

This video unlocked at least two lost memories for me. I used to spend hours on the cartoon network website playing flash games (I was one of those kids), and I remember seeing stuff for cartoon orbit all the time and not quite understanding what it was. I was curious, but it required a login and I didn't realize as a kid that you can just make an email address. And I remember the WB store exactly as described, and there is a unique feeling of vindication having a mildly disappointing experience as a child, forgetting about it completely, then having it resurface and be told YOU WERE RIGHT, IT WAS A BAD STORE!

the neopets part healed something within me. when will the culture have a neopets revival :(

Your discussion of old Disney fan sites took me back to HiddenMickeys.org https://web.archive.org/web/20020612051851/http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/WDW/Epcot/Spaceship.html

I was so excited that Jenny mentioned YTMND and Something Awful but also sad that she didn't visit them, I really wanted to see her reactions.

I vote Please No on the fantastic beasts video. She's such an awful person. There are so many topics out there that aren't hers. So many more things to cover. For me, I wouldn't watch the video if you make it because anything related to JK makes me physically ill. I would be sad to not watch one of your vids. I know people adore her work but I don't separate art from people who still use it to hurt others. She's not dead or from Long Ago. It's too fresh. My two cents, eh.

Feel like this vid might be worthy of an asterisk, top notch ramble. All of the old Pokemon sites jogged a memory of an ancient fansite of a Pokemon artist who posted fake cards with beautiful original art. (I *remember* the art blowing my 8 year old mind, but tbh that wasn't hard to achieve lol) Despite checking it all the time, the only concrete memory of the site that I have is the artist's avatar, who was a basic anime girl with red hair...if I ever find a monkey's paw, you better believe I'm asking it for the name of that site

how did we have the same friend who expected us to watch her play the sims lmao

Absolutely trippy watching you talk about rerooting ponies while I’m rerooting a monster high doll.

Ahhhh I love your tiktok pony cleaning videos! So excited that my views contributed a fraction of a penny to getting a dream pony. She looks so pretty too, she's lucky to have found a home with you.

Ngl, this was one of my favorite rambles! Also, thanks for the channel recommendation, Dream Jelly has been a treat.

I know I'm in the minority here, maybe the only one, but please don't do a fantastic beasts video. She pours money into transphobic policy, it's not an ephemeral 'support' thing with her, her money actively hurts real people, right now. Your channel and patreon both have a huge audience. Roasting movies makes people want to watch them. There are so many hilariously stupid movies out there, please just choose any other one but this.

I used to get so mad at the listings of the ugly ponies, specifically because I had a Baby Lollipop and she was one of my absolute favourites. She had a bit more slender sort of a mold that they only did like two ponies in.

I would absolutely love a third Fantastic Beasts video!! Your review of the second one was how I first came across your videos and is how I often introduce new people to your channel. I think there are lots of ways you could acknowledge/help inform people about JKR's transphobia in a light-touch way; her politics often express themselves in very funny ways in her writing.

Loving the Neopets representation. I felt so strongly about missing part of Altador Cup, then the subsequent login avoidance… it recently happened to me with the void within. you inspired me to get over my fear and participate. There is still time to get the good prizes for sure

Fantastic beasts video would be great as it’s ripping into it I imagine. Jenny, you do a great job of critiquing difficult things while keeping the channel a safe place.

When i reached the part of the vid about the Warner Bros store it triggered some long forgotten memories of going to one as a kid in the Metrocentre (a big indoor shopping centre in the North East of England). Jenny's right that there wasn't anything in there that kids would want to buy. However in the rear of the Warner Bros store in the Metrocentre they had a crawl through space ship, which had a number of SFX buttons you could press. Any time we went there as kids we ran straight to the back of the store to "play inside the spaceship" giving parents/guardians time to shop for boring clothes. EDIT bc i've also just remembered that Metroland existed and if Jenny reads this comment she might find the idea of a defunct theme park inside of a shopping centre worth taking a look at: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/history/gallery/metroland-colour-memories-gatesheads-metrocentre-8594270

I think Fantastic Beasts 3 roast would be great

I remember decorating a hotel on the fruit gushers website and genuinely thinking if I put enough time into it I’d win the vague sweepstakes 😂

I had the dance studio as a kid and I loooooved my G3 ponies!! They’re all still around, my mom is a kindergarten teacher and the kids all love them still. I decided to clean them all a few years ago because of your videos so the kids could have beautiful clean ponies again!

Uni, tell us you're ok 😭

If I had to choose between $500 and a baby paintbrush as a child, I probably would have chosen the paint brush. I was never *that* into NeoPets as a kid but I did play it quite often. Often enough to remember the secret shop in the Faerie Village, and definitely enough to remember to spin the Wheel of Excitement every day. I don't think I ever won anything good... Oh and I appreciate the shout out to YTMND. I spent so much time on that site back in my junior high days. I remember when the community came together to try and win Max (the site owner) tickets in some Snakes On a Plane contest. Good times.

Ooh, I found that KFC Vulpix in the free bin of a thrift store and didn't even know it was from KFC! I need to get myself the seel one now... even if pokemon has created better pinnipeds in later generations, it was the one that got me into the franchise in the first place! :')

Anytime Jenny talks about vintage ponies its a good day

This ramble is great for a lot of reasons but one of them is that it confirms she owns the chuck e cheese baby pony 😂 its one of my grails and I know I've seen it in the background and have zoomed in and compared to pictures to try and be sure. It feels like it was made for Jenny.

This ramble video might be enough to single handedly make me start collecting ponies

This is honestly one of the best rambles ever.

OBS/Camera Stuff: Hi Jenny! I'm sure you're probably drowning in advice but I'm happy to throw in my 2 cents. I've streamed on twitch for 7 years using various DSLRs (Sony A7sII, Canon 5D, Canon R5, Sony RX100 VII which is a point and shoot but still uses similar hookups for hdmi capture.) I love the Elgato Cam Link for capturing the video from DSLRs, it's been the most reliable for me over the years. The frame loss does look like it may be an encoding problem or an issue with bit rate. Just to be safe though, take a peek at the HDMI output settings to confirm what frame rate you're outputting and make sure the obs frame rate matches. Also make sure you're in video mode, I've had some trouble in the past helping a friend set up a Sony A6000 because they were capturing the live view from photo mode instead of video and the footage looked off. Hope you're able to get your new gear up in running to your satisfaction!

Zainy Brainy was amazing holy crapola. also as a y2 neopets kid, the time before the omelette was fire 😂😂😂 all hail the omelette

Late to the party here, but what a gem of a video. Jenny you are so good when you are just rambling! I want the fantastic beast video! I could not wrap my head around the first so I haven't seen the last 2 but I would love to see your take! Such a Trainwreck of a series. Also my son was making me watch The haunting hour and I got to show him Return of the pumpkin heads, haha his fav is about a boy who is afraid of clowns but it turns out he is a clown.... genetically. Let's all pray for the way back machine and hope it recovers.

Being a child escaping slavery as a little game is insane 😭 THE CONFEDERATE CAMPSITE?

My husband grew up near a Zainy Brainy! They must’ve been fancy because I never heard of it (grew up in rural Kansas/Mississippi) and he had one right on the corner by his house in an area of wealthy Philadelphia suburbs. He remembers it very fondly but can’t actually remember getting anything from there.

Hey, that's young Patrick Dempsey in the WB catalog at 02:05:46

i think it’s definitely been enough time since the fantastic beasts movie came out that there shouldn’t be any ethical issues around you “supporting” her accidentally, especially since it’s a negative review and many of us have the context of you donating to a pro trans org when you bought the giant spider. if it would ease your conscience, maybe you could do a donation again? i don’t think it’s necessary but if i were in your shoes i think it would make me feel better.

There are so many websites I played on as an early 2000's kid that when I bring them up nobody remembers. This video is very healing in that way, but I also somehow never ended up playing Neopets. Like MonkeyQuest. Nobody seems to remember that. Or PetPet Park! I'm not crazy, there was a sick ass noodle bowl on PetPetPark

Not sure if this has been brought up, but when websites first came about products would really brag about it. So maybe finding some old products that tie into a web site your trying to find but can't remember exactly (like the WB store) would have it listed on the product package.

I loved ZanyBrainy!!! I’m from Ohio and I ALSO loved crazy bones. It’s surreal and oddly gratifying to realize I am not alone in that!

I wanna see the review of the third fantastic beasts video so bad! I want to consume HP content through you exclusively

About the fantastic beasts and where to find them: just call it "i watched the 3rd fantstic beasts movie SO YOU DONT HAVE TO!!!"

does anybody else remember petpetpark? i just found out it was a spinoff to neopets. it was like an online flash game. that was a huge nostalgic hit for me

Fun fact: Logan from Veronica Mars is heir to the neopets fortune in real life

I actually got an email from Neopets while watching this What the heck And wow this was a blast from the past So many memories came back Also I had Math Circus as my school game on the olde IBM computers as well as a dinosaur game on the Macs later on. Miss the 90's and early 00s aesthetics so much.

older gen z here and I definitely had a computer class for many years! All the right type was my jam

Personally think a fantastic beasts vid would be fun, hate JK and dont wanna watch it myself, just wanna watch it be critically razed :)

Oh my god Zany Brainy! I got all my crazy bones and Pokémon cards there. We used to do their summer reading club

Watching this for a second time and I have an update since it first went up: I went to my parents house with a friend and her two very young children. And they both went crazy over my mom’s Boyd Bears 😊

I finally made it through the ramble. I'm really glad I did. The WB store tangent. OMG! Me! Like literally me! Young Finn filling his bar mitzvah invite registry, there was so much —(now I am an adult) man "aka 'dad,'"— merch I wanted from the WB store because it had Taz on it. "Yes I need the Taz fountain pen, the Taz line of ties, the Taz money clip, the Taz checkbook holder, Taz golf club covers, the Taz self winding Tag Heuer wrist watch, the Taz desktop ink blotter, the cool hang out Taz gangsta shirts..." I got so many Tazmanian devil plushies from my mother and aunt in like late elementary early middle school. WB pumped those out in numbers and it's right now coming back to me; how many there actually were. I had a 8 inch Taz biker, and 8 inch Taz Yankee, and 8 inch Taz hula, astronaut, sailor, baseball, construction worker, tennis pro, torn tuxedo, school crossing guard, Knott's berry Farm themed with a giant lollypop. There was this ENTIRE LINE of Taz plush I had all of them. And then as a teenage dude inviting girls over to like hang out in my bedroom on my bed and "watch tv"... I very quickly threw them all in a closet and forgot about them until this moment. Like here's one I totally forgot about having. Snorkel Taz https://i.imgur.com/myPuwrY.jpeg

I would 100% watch another fantastic beasts video, and I don't think it would be contraversial.

The camera looks fine but it seems to be recording at a low frame rate for whatever reason.

As a zoomer I want to set the record straight on a few things. I had the exact same computer lab experience where we got pulled out of class and given no instruction except to “do computer” and mess with that stupid talking paperclip. Also I love Jamba Juice and I miss it so much. I got so excited when I saw one in the airport a few months ago that I ordered 2 smoothies and drank both of them in my 20 minute layover.

Amazing video!! Especially as I am deep in my own Neopets reawakening, this was such a treat 😊 I would love another Fantastic Beasts vid, your media analysis vids are always SO good. I get how it's touchy and it's probably true that some people will be mad, but I don't think talking about the shortcomings of a film is the same as supporting an IP or the people behind it. As a JKR hater myself, I'm super interested in your observations about this high-budget, poorly-thought-out series. It's fun to take things apart and talk about what works and what doesn't!

I would love a Fantastic Beasts 3 video! Honestly it would serve as a great way for people like me, who didn't want to pay to watch the movie and thereby give financial support to JK Rowling, a way to experience the FB trainwreck in an entertaining way.

Homestar Runner... Truly epic content. Brought the idea of trogdor to my students a few years back.

Btw homestar runner is still up! Someone made a plugin to replace flash so a lot of flash stuff switched to that

is it any consolation to know that maddox didnt end up a huge piece of shit? He is pretty active on bluesky and mostly just makes fun of elon musk and donald trump, same sense of humour as always. i was a big fan of his page back in the day and was so relieved.

This era of the internet is so important to me. My brother actually ran a Redwall fan site in the mid 2000s to early 2010s while he was in middle and high school. It was a text-based RPG that had a small but loyal following (and fan fic!). I still go look at it wistfully on the way back machine sometimes.

As a TAF buttons stan since 2005, and someone who was active on the MLPTP and MLP arena during the early 2000’s, may I please say THANK YOU for the delightful pony nostalgia. I spent SO MANY HOURS on Dream Valley.

DBZWarriors.com is still up and was a staple of my 1999 childhood

ponyisland.com reminds me of pokefarm.com (not defunct but def been around a long time)

I would love a Fantastic Beasts video! Your other ones are hilarious. If you feel uncomfortable posting to the main channel, maybe a more rambly version as a Patron bonus? Or maybe you could make a donation to charity like when you got your giant spider?

im a transwoman and i want u to talk about famtastic beasts. We all know youre not transphobic at all so theres nothing you’d say that would be worthy of getting mad over. still i know that the internet is fickle like that, but i think everyone is getting dunks in on JKR these days so a bad review of her horrible movies would go over well? idk im a fan tho probably giving bad advice

Mimic was never available at my Toys R Us when I was a kid. My mom even called the store every time a shipment came in. She also was featured in an episode of the show so everyone wanted to have her, and none of the stores had her. Anyway so I bought myself one when I got my tenure track job at a university LOL.

would love a third fantastic beasts video! rip it to shreds!

Btw you should absolutely check out the game Hypnospace Outlaw. Its a detective game based entirely on navigating these kinds of websites to solve mysteries.

Thanks Jenny this video is just the relaxing thing I needed today! Gosh what a time this all was, feels like a cozy hug to go back and hear about it for a few hours. The American Girl flash game really surprised me, to hear unmitigated history like that was...startling again after so much time. Take care everyone have a good day

It's genuinely so exciting (to me personally) when you talk about G1 MLP! Tales was airing when I was in preschool and I distinctly remember my mom taping it for me, and I spent so much of my early internet years on MLP forums and navigating webrings. I'm still collecting and trying to find Ice Crystal for... you know, not $700. I've been customizing and restoring ponies since I found Aikarin's site, so hmu if you ever want info! My favorite site for hair and tinsel is Shimmerlocks; it's a smaller retailer than Dollyhair, but the owner is one of the nicest people on the planet. Also: thanks for standing up for puke-green ponies. TAF Buttons is one of my favorites and she doesn't deserve the hate!

As a Brit I immediately recognised the photo version of Bruce as Bruce Forsythe, haha. Well know english presenter and entertainer. Very weird.

Every couple years, my grandparents would take me and my sister to Pennsylvania to see a bunch of Amish shops and barns full of quilts. (Did anyone else do this? Are we weird?) We also went to Boyd’s Bear Country, as children not particularly attached to Boyd’s Bears, and it was so weird that it immediately became the highlight of my trip. My sister adopted a bear from the surreal bear nursery, and there was a birth certificate process with the nurse. There was also a very large (to my child eyes) Build-A-Bear style Build a Boyd section near the nursery, and I built a fuzzy white/sparkly bear that was super weighty and nice to hold. The theming and decor were very much pandering to grandmas who crave The Good Ole Days, like a massive Yankee Candle/Hallmark wonderland full of bears that secretly fly the stars and bars. My Boyds bear is still upstairs in my closet and I’m delighted someone else remembers my favorite roadtrip fever dream.

I am truly so serious when I say if you don't have a grundos.cafe account and want a referral code i can send one over. my original neopets experience sounds a lot like yours, but i find in grundos it's been much easier to achieve certain goals and i actually have painted pets!!!

I'd love to watch you tear apart Fantastic Beasts 3. Hell I'd love to see you go back to the first two again and do a big series retrospective now that they're complete(?)

FUCK YEAH, LOOKING AT ANIMATRONICS WON FOR NEXT MONTH! I get the same weird vibes of everything "rotting" when I look at stuff like that and the water is absolutely repugnant to think about possibly touching—or even being around, really, since you'd be breathing all that musty, damp air.

im 18 and i had a computer lab class too! it was mostly making power points and learning basic internet safety :o we had it from kindergarten to 2nd grade (so 2011-2013) then it was replaced by an extra math class 😭. when i was in 6th grade i had another computer class where we just spent 45 mins playing typing games lol

Regarding the Fantastic Beasts video, and speaking as a transwoman, I loved the first two you did and was always a bit sad you never did the third. I love to see dunking on JKR's failures, and you did the videos really well. Also, you're very much not encouraging people to watch with your videos, so I say it's all good!

I went to college for animation and one teacher listed off the things he had worked on and one of them was neopets: specifically the dark fairy. Everyone was impressed

I would love a 3rd fantastic beasts video, your video on how much of a trainwreck the 2nd one was is hilarious and I rewatch it all the time.

Re: The seemingly random selection of KFC beanies... Could it be that these are the ones that had been featured in the show at that point? I feel like that's what first gen merchandising focused on. (I forgot, for what it's worth your reviews of Fantastic Beasts are some of my favourite of yours so I'd love to see the last one. Ppl on the internet VASTLY overestimate how much your average person knows about Joanne's transphobia, so I think ceding all coverage of Harry Potter stuff to fans isn't the smartest course of action anyway. I am trans myself, but I can't speak for everyone ofc.)

Jamba Juice marketing still paying off 20 years later.

Please finish Fantastic Beasts 3!

that definitely was patrick dempsey in multiple pages in the catalog 😭

Wow so you can't save to watch later now because of the rating?

Thank you for the post. I did not vote for this theme so it was not really that interesting to me. I appreciate how challenging it may have been to come up with a compelling thesis for this video subject.

I gasped at the Tuneful slander - I had a bunch of G1 ponies as a kid in the early 90s (pre-internet so knew no names) but I loved the blue/orange contrast so much.

I feel Evermore's lore would of been similar to Neopets, stumbling on long dead events they couldn't bother to clean up.

Thank you so much for the ramble (three whole hours, such a treat!!), and for the nostalgia flashback of going to the computer lab to try and beat Darby the Dragon (which was always JUST too long for our lessons). I would love to hear your thoughts on FB3 and the trilogy in retrospect. I understand the reservation but you'd be speaking in the context of two videos you've already done before. But honestly I look forward to watching whatever you do next!!

I would love to see a video about the third Fantastic Beasts!

ALSO also, the KFC pokemon brought back a flood of memories both because in the ads, the Colonel pronounced it, "po-KAY-man," and because in my Evangelical hometown everyone said they were Satanic and there was a small boycott against KFC, so my friend who worked there was pressured by his church to quit.

Also, that is Patrick Dempsey but ALSO on the next page it's a pre-fame Ivana Miličević. <3

Jenny PLEASE just go to DollyHair or Doll Planet and get a rerooting tool and hair. Doll Planet has tinsel, too!

I'd be so excited if we got a review on the third Fantastic Beasts movie! I love rewatching those reviews and how baffling the plot of those movies are

Wait that is fully Patrick Dempsey

i’m a zoomer and never had a computer lab class in school. the most computer education i got in school was learning how to type and how to use excel and word. my brother is a millennial and the difference in our computer knowledge is insane. i feel like a caveman with a stick compared to him

Not my eevee and squirtle plush sitting behind me staring at the exact same eevee and squirtle plush sitting behind you 😅

As a transperson, I'll never grow tired of people shitting on the Harry Potter franchise. I occasionally remember funny stuff you said in the first videos, like how it felt like a real life horror movie to see Grindlewald transform into Johnny Depp. lol

I paused this video after you introduced Zany Brainy to tell my husband "I got Crazy Bones there" only to hit play and hear you say the same thing!

This made me nostalgic for the old websites I used to visit. I spent waaaaay too much time on Gaia online and Puzzle pirates. 🦜

omg you talking about the WB store unlocked memories of the one I used to go to in the north suburbs of Chicago. Did anyone else’s have those interactive marvin the martian rocket ships?

zoomers had computer labs in elementary school too! we'd go in and ususlly do typing games though, or scratch coding

Just adding with everyone else that as long as you put a disclaimer or drag JK in the intro, a FB video would be amazing. I love hearing about the train wreck. It’s not like making a review video is giving her money or support.

The Wayback Machine is amazing but I'm still a bit salty it hasn't got an archive of a website I've made when I was a kid lmao. It had that early 2000s energy in spades. I wish I could look at it again just to see how much my design sensibilities have not changed since then.

The reason you went somewhere else for science was to cover your main teachers required planning time 😂😂

My ex gave me some of his old Pokemon plush and I was wondering why he had Seel, Dratini and Zubat. Mystery solved! And please yes FB3!

It's wild seeing the TRs Rockin site on the wayback machine. I know some of the cosplayers in that photo and remember when that picture was taken. (I was not in the photo because unlike the rest of them, I sucked at making cosplay.) Re: the Pokemon Center animatronics, have you seen the Youtube videos by Mewisme700? She made several that included video footage of them, and also attempted to figure out what happened to them. She did eventually track down (and buy) the Pikachu. If I recall correctly, the rest were most likely destroyed.

YES the final Beasts video is revived! I'm so excited. I was thinking about the other day, and rewatched the original two. Kill, Jenny! Kill!!!

I liked the fantastic beast videos! I always love when you really dissect a movie so I'd be in favor

Not the choose your own adventure slavery game for little girls. Help

Make the fantastic beasts video!!

As someone who also grew up a couple hours from marine world (and who unfortunately rode an elephant there once as a kid), it's always crazy to hear Jenny talking about my old home park

there are 300 comments so idk if anyone else has mentioned this, but the see-thru ita bags you mentioned are pronounced "eat-uh" bags :) thanks for such a long ramble, this was delightful

To respond to the question at the end: Yes, I would very much be interested in your thoughts and review of the third Fantastic Beasts film!

My friends and I would compete to see who could find the easter egg in the strong bad videos every week lol

As a primary school teacher, the death of the "computer class" is one of the most frustrating things about my job. People assume that just because kids grow up around technology they'll automatically know how to use it and we really don't foster the whole "explore this program and work it out" thing anymore. Kids are expected to produce work on a computer for assignments and classwork, but there's no room to just familiarise themselves with the programs and it leads to a whole class of kids not trying to fix their own problems because they don't have the confidence or familiarity. It drives me absolutely insane, bring back the fuckaround and find out classes!!

trans myself! i think a 3rd FB video would be really funny, esp considering its not gonna be positive. id just put like a "i dont support jk rowling" thing at the beginning, bc like another comment said, i dont like when CCs make me guess

Jenny, I love your Fantastic Beasts 2 video so much, I have probably watched it about one hundred times by this point. Those movies are as awful as the TERF that wrote them and clowning on them is not only fun as hell, but ethical because a loss for JKR is a win for human rights. I hope you do end up making that video about the third one, I felt like we were never going to get it and hearing that it's still a possibility filled my heart with joy. Thanks Jenny :')

As someone who does not like JK Rowling one bit, I don't think there's any harm in doing a Fantastic Beasts video. I think an "I don't support JK Rowling" disclaimer would really help? I know it sounds performative, but, like, my main beef with HP fancreators is that they sometimes make me guess, and that's not a fun distraction when I'm trying to enjoy a Youtube video. I think most people just want to know going in. Like, if it was an actively popular HP work, that'd be one thing. But nobody is really suggesting the Fantastic Beasts flop expanded JK's media reach.

I would love another Fantastic Beasts video. I've never seen those movies I've only experienced them through your videos lol!

Man I'd LOVE to see a third Fantastic Beasts vid the first two are some of my all time favs :D

A site I remember from my childhood is "pointless sites" which linked to a bunch of "pointless" websites, some of which were essentially like sites based around one meme, or tumblrs lists about houses or something, but every once in a while, they would highlight an art project site. I remember spending a lot of time on nobodyhere.com/justme/ which is still up.

I guess I have something like nostalgia for Neopets because I played a lot of it as a kid, but I also kind of hated it because it always felt like the really great items, like paintbrushes, were exorbitantly expensive and it felt like I was stuck in a real-life class system. I tried playing the game again maybe three years ago, but I only spent like... an hour or two on it before getting bored, so I don't feel like I'll "relapse" or anything.

As a trans person, I'd enjoy a Fantastic Beasts 3 video, especially since I know you're largely going to be tearing it apart. I would probably just pre-empt the video denouncing JK so that people know where you stand for sure.

I love when Jenny continues to mention being worried about "being gatekept" when she says a potentially incorrect fact, as if there's a whole population of Patreon subscribers that are also my Iittle pony devotees, waiting in the wings to call Jenny a fake fan XD oh and also I would LOVE to see the fantastic beasts 3 video!!

lol my friends and I were sims kids but the difference was we’d swap out and play together. I started playing the sims with my older sister when I was 7 so I learned to share early. I stopped thinking it was fun playing the sims with someone else in 7th grade when I was trying to be friends with this new girl who was being bullied and had no friends and when we tried to play the sims at her house she refused to let me participate other than designing one sim for her to be able to romance with her self insert sim. She moved a lot like my family did but since she was an only child I think she had a hard time getting along with other kids and sharing. So I get Jenny being disappointed by her sims kid friend if she was anything like my friend.

BAP BAP

“I’m going to go eat cheese from a drawer in my fridge” is how I will sign off on all future work emails.

Hey I never played NeoPets as a kid, so this is all new to me, but is there any explanation as to why the Bruce character was an actual human man?

So funny, comments about what happens when toys only get released in the UK—and then Pokémon micromachines show up on eBay (all still available, 10 watchers… guarantee all 10 people are Jenny’s Patreons). Fun video as always, thank you! Also would love Fantastic Beasts 3 vid.

Thoughts on the Fantastic Beasts thing, as a trans gal who loves your work and everything you put out: I think you have the right instinct on letting it go. I’m fully aware of how vocally you’ve supported us and called out JKR’s nonsense, but exposure is still exposure and I don’t think that movie (dumb as it is) is worth the potential messiness of main channel uploads OR of giving her ANY kind of further attention. That said, I think doing something with those notes could make a fun Patreon extra down the line, maybe? Obviously, that’s entirely your call. Thanks for another month of uploads!! ♥️

I remember that in computer lab, my random powerpoint was about money lmao

lovely vid. hope you enjoyed your fridge cheese

I know this is off topic, btw, this month's ramble was brilliant as usual, but I just saw Coraline for the first time. I wish Jenny would give her thoughts on it. Maybe her favorite and least favorite stop motion pictures.

Making a review of the fantastic beasts movie years after it came out is so perfectly on brand for you, I’d definitely love to see it!

The Marine World Africa USA segment hit me SO hard in my childhood memories. The two whales popped up and an ancient unused portion of my brain my like "Yakka and Vigga. Of course. It is known." My family still calls it Marine World to this day. Also please confirm fellow Bay Area kids, but I remember this story where they were talking about how they knew orcas had different dialects in part because the trainers saw the younger one (Vigga) learn the older one's (Yakka's?) dialect. Edit: This was in the late 90s, but Yakka and Vigga definitely were a pair of female orcas that existed there at the same time. I think after one of them passed there was a false killer whale that stayed with the surviving one for companionship.

I haven't played Neopets in a long time but I distinctly remember they did do at least one inactive account purge a long, loooong time ago. I forgot what the inactive criteria was (your old account must have met it though), but I remember it because it created this huge rush of people trying to grab up all the "good" pet names suddenly available

Jenny if you want some more hair options for starcatcher, https://dollyhair.com/ has a bunch of saran and nylon options! They also have an option to buy mlp sized hanks :)

I loved zanybrainy there was one in Newport Beach omg crazy bones

http://www.trsrockin.xyz/ There's a fully archived version of Team Rocket's Rockin', if someone hasn't said already!

You can 1000% buy tinsel for doll hair and it is also 1000% a pain to work with.

I had both the lab ray and petpet lab ray. The petpet lab ray was good fun, but nothing prepared my six year old self for learning the hard way that it could straight up change my Neopet's species. My poor beloved Kacheek, stuck as an Eyrie and never changed again. Also I joined only a matter of months before Maraqua got trashed for ages and as an aquatic fan, I was so distraught.

I remember Zany Brainy! We had one in the suburb of Boston we lived in when I was a kid!

A shocking Islands of Adventure ricochet shot.

I'm a trans ex-potterhead and I would actually love to see your review of the third fantastic beast movie. I never watched it and I never plan to but a part of me is morbidly curious about what happens in it so it'd be really fun to experience it vicariously through you

Fantastic Beasts 3 would be incredible. I never want to watch that movie in my life but I'm a little curious to see if it gets as insane and incoherent as Crimes of Grindlewald was lmaooo

Can’t believe this Pop Eye slander

Please please please do fant3stic beasts I have craved your reaction for yeeeears. Good god that movie is bad

This was a fun video. Side note - I had never considered the idea of "parasocial relationships" until Jenny brought it up on one of the Evermore videos. Despite my Patronage here, I'm not much of a social media user. However, watching these videos of Jenny talking about her childhood certainly gives the illusion of a fairly deep social interaction. I don't think I've ever talked about my childhood so in-depth with my adult friends. Of course, in reality we're simply getting a postage stamp on a certain period of time.

My favorite genre of Jenny video is one where she freaks herself out over abandoned animatronics 😂

The pony websites! I grew up with G3 and some hand-me-down G1s and 2s. My little sister and I were obsessed with trying to find Star Catcher after seeing the movies. We never ended up getting one, since 6-year-olds can't go online shopping (and we never saw one in stores where we lived). After watching this I'm wondering if adult me needs to find one on ebay...

LOL, the WB studio store was FULL of dad stuff! I thought it was cool but couldn't afford it until they had their going-out-of-business sale!

Ooooh please do the fantastic beasts video!! I loved the first two and honestly with Epic Universe opening soon with a flashy potter land that will likely get a lot of praise, I think this video will be a nice way to balance that out. 🤭

The worst causality of not being archived because the site owner disabled it is Snopes. Snopes was an incredible resource until the mid 2010s when the couple who owned it got a divorce, the husband took full control of the website, and modernized it so now the old articles from the 2000s are extremely hard to find because they aren’t well organized. The original website had everything organized with cute little Web1.0 emoticons and just had more character in general. I mean I understand they became more important for political fact checking because of how batshit US politics started getting during that era but I wish I could go back and read the old site

I also had a Kirsten doll because I thought she had the coolest hair

I love it when you end up on a MLP deep dive or history lesson because I was a massive collector as a preteen and at one point had lots of the ponies that are now valuable/rare. But I was completely removed from the internet fanbase side of ponies until adulthood because my family was kinda in a cult so despite them being my hyperfocus for years I still know almost none of the actual lore or internet history about them.

I almost did a spit take when Bruce Forsyth appeared in Neopets?! I would love a Fantastic Beasts 3 video too! The video for the 2nd movie is one of my favourites!

Wait now I want to play Neopets again lol

Hey Jenny. Just got to the part where you talk about bad google is now and given how much research you do you might want to try Kagi. It’s an alternative paid search engine that I’ve heard is really good. Not tried it yet as it’s a bit pricey but I want to.

As a nonbinary person, I personally really enjoy seeing criticism of JK Rowling's work. I think a lot of her awful biases and stereotypes shine through her writing, and even aside from that her work tends to be pretty weak, so seeing people review her work is something I really like. That being said, I don't speak for all trans people, but personally I don't think you'd cause any harm by talking about fantastic beasts

I too have never had a caterpie plush, but I guess it's because I'm not special enough. I wish I was special... so f*cking special...

As an aside, how do people generally conceptualize the phrase, “the world was smaller/bigger”? I always thought of it as “bigger” because things seemed much more distant and difficult to access before we got so interconnected.

The third Fantastic Beasts video would be sooo good I was hoping it would happen👀

altador cup sucked this year and was REALLY glitchy so you didn't miss much honestly! battledome is more boring than anything, i usually trade for my BD pets so i dont have to train them. for people who pay for premium, BD rewards are a big money maker if your old account kept getting hacked, they may have frozen it and your pets for your "safety." support is hit or miss nowadays but worth contacting. they're fickle and may or may not give you back whatever items are on the account, which you could transfer to your new one. grundo's cafe you need an invite for! i don't play on there personally but i can hook you up if you ever want

As a trans woman who was basically completely obsessed with Harry Potter growing up, I would love a Fantastic Beasts video! One of my recent favorite youtube videos is the "Top 28 female characters in Harry Potter" video, and that's basically a negative Harry Potter review and I didn't see any backlash to that video. But I do get why you're hesitant, people on the internet can be very, very unreasonable...

PLEEEEEEASE do a Fantastic Beasts 3 video, your review of number 2 in the series is my all time favourite vid of yours! I actually haven’t seen 3 and never will because number 2 was so bad, but I could happily listen to your talk about it for 30 minutes or 2 hours.

I remember that 2000 leagues website! Legitimately *the* website that got me into theme park history, and also sparked my lifelong obsession with weird decrepit animatronics

"click the confederate camp flag to continue" was wild

Dude I have a bin of old ponies including that one with the Mylar ribbons in the hair. Lmk if you want it (she says, knowing Jenny will never see this)

Would honestly love to see a review of the third Fantastic Beasts Movie. You have made it pretty clear in the past that you loved Harry Potter, as so many of us did, but that you don't support JKR herself. Having a Christmas Prince/VPD esque video about the Fantastic Beasts movies would honestly be a dream come true.

Regarding Fantastic Beasts, as long as you address and condemn J K Rowling, it’s not a problem for me, but… I can’t speak for anyone else, of course.

Oh wow the Boyds Bears thing is just like Cabbage Patch Kids!! I don't how well known it is but they are from my hometown so there's a huge "hospital" toystore called Babyland General Hospital where you can watch them get born and adopt them. There's even a huge old animatronic stork from the 80s there that doesn't work anymore 💔

This was a weird journey for me to go on with Jenny in that it started with extinct and obscure corner of the the internet… and ended at Pokémon Center… where I just recently bought something for my Halloween decorations 😂. (Cute little fountain from their Halloween Village collection, in case anyone was curious.)

Would you be interested in picking through my MLP collection? I sold most of it a few years ago but now I'm ready to pass on the last box. I could send you pictures of what I have and mail you just what you want. I think I have mostly G1 in there and I know I have the full G1 birthday accessory set with the invites and whatnot :) I'd give you the ponies for free if you'd be willing to cover shipping from Oregon

Am I misremembering or did Google not exist until later? I feel like I'm the early 2000s I was yahoo searching or aol searching lol

Good video but the low frame rate is very distracting…

I loved this video. It was so long and exactly what I come to your channel for. As for a Fantastic Beasts video, I don't see why the political opinions of the author should have anything to do with you or your video, if you don't want them to.

Jenny, I would LOVE for a fantastic beasts video. It would be so cathartic for me, and we as a society haven't talked enough how crazy it is that fantastic beasts was just cancelled like the divergent series.

the outfit is so cute

LMK if you need a Grundo's Cafe invite code (unless someone beat me to it)! That said I am a HUGE web 1.0 fan and I very fondly remember some of the websites you explored here. I enjoyed this video sooooo much, I'm gonna rewatch it a bunch of times probably!

Man, this was such a love letter to weird little girls. As a former weird little girl who grew up to be a rather strange woman, who still plays Neopets and loves MLP, this brought my soul a great amount of peace.

I'm so glad Neopets was mentioned. I got back into Neopets last year as something to do as a study break. Because there just still isn't much to do on the site, it was great for keeping productive, but now I am a Neomillionaire with hundreds of the in-world collectible dolls.

Could be wrong but I fear that your beloved Lombis may actually iombis

Moondancer's Dream is my old website and it's so nostalgic seeing it! Also, I too pronounced it Dream-key because I only knew "quay" from reading, I'd never heard it out loud, haha. I did eventually come to love most of the ponies on the "ugly ponies" page. ;) MLPs were my absolute favorite toy as a kid and when I got my first pony (Moondancer) on my fourth birthday I carried her around saying "At last, all my dreams and wishes have come true." I didn't know anything about MLP before opening the present, I was just in awe of this beautiful unicorn toy. It was so cool looking up "My Little Pony" online as a teen and discovering there was a whole community of collectors! We were SO lucky to have Dream Valley. I first got on the internet in 1997 and Kim already had info on every American pony, neatly categorized by year. She also knew most of the accessories they came with. I don't know how she did it. Not only was eBay small at the time, but most eBay listings didn't have pictures, they were pure text. If you were lucky they listed each pony by color and symbol and if you weren't you'd get something like "Lot of ten ponies, there are three pink ones." Coincidentally I found KFC Vulpix at Goodwill a couple weeks ago! I love her, she sits at my desk at work.

Thank you for this absolute tour de force of a ramble!

re: star catcher giving masculine energy— Star Catcher used he/him in the official Belle of the Ball book! She was my absolute favorite pony and now I’m transgender. So.

I think if you make a Fantastic Beasts video and donate a percentage of the profits to a trans charity, you can negate a lot of the criticism as well as do some good.

Gen Z - we had “Computer Lab” once a week. We’d have time to mess around on sites like you described, but only after finishing a lesson on some typing website that taught proper keyboard/typing posture (?). And MS Paint!

You could for sure record the process of re rooting your Starcatcher! I remember doing that a few times and would love a process video!

Past Jenny, the popup blocker! It's blocking navigation on the Team Rocket website!

My fun internet memory from the 00s is my friends and I all taking turns trying www. name. com except one of my friends’ name ended up being a porn website. Oops.

I remember when that website creator turned out to be a patron, that was so cool. And they continued to be a really good source of info about MLP in the comments. Always delightful, these chance connections, like when those Hallmark hosts engaged on Youtube or when Dana Delany remarked upon the China Beach lip sync.

As a gen z, Jamba Juice isn’t allowed to go out of business, how am I supposed to get razzmatazz otherwise

Boyd's Bears: There were very fine bears on both sides

For the record, the answer is Bananabelle :)

I could very much be wrong but the jitter problem could have something to do with the shutter speed settings, but I don't really know a ton about recordrecording through a computer

As a trans woman I don't know that I would watch a Fantastic Beasts video right now (my mental health is bad enough without subjecting myself to more JK Rowling shit) but I don't think that means you shouldn't make it. There's plenty of great content out there that I couldn't personally engage with.

You might want to speak with @elgato about their streaming camera[s].

I was inspired to submit a ticket to neopets support to regain access of my 23 year old neopets account. I'm eating omelette for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I succeed

Person from the UK here, can confirm that we have no internet or childhood memories.

As a Gen Z girl born in 2003, we did have a computer lab we would get pulled out of class to do. We learned to type and use word and then we also played games like on cool math. Didn’t get pulled out for science, just computer, art, gym, Spanish, music and library time. I found this really interesting because I honestly have never been to a lot of these websites. I did have a sparkle pony though (not now, so at least I cannot witness her decay). I had the purple one and a bunch of G3 ones along with a pony castle. No G1 or G2’s. My favorite was Wisteria and I really liked her movie. My nostalgic websites would probably be like Pixie Hollow, Club Penguin, Disney princess website circa 2009-2010, Fantage, Animal Jam, scholastic website circa 2011 with the games. All for you finishing the fantastic beasts series!

Jenny, I would be so excited if you did a third fantastic beast video. I rewatch the first two a ton. It would be so cool to see a 'finale' to them.

Ok i think the reason why we had specialized science class was because it gets messy and also prepares kids for the “lab etiquette” they will need in middle and high school. Like I remember we would experiment with very simple chemical reactions and while they were usually very safe, they were still too messy for the regular classroom. Also I feel like elementary school science is not ass developmentally important as say learning math or how to read, i feel like thats why we only had it once a week

I can’t stand the suspense: does Jenny get Jamba?

honestly considering how insane joanne has become lately i will gladly take any new content dumping on her

There's this really niche website called Chicken Smoothie that I found in like middle school through someone on Animal Jam telling me about it and it's like a forum but you can collect different types of pets like horses, wolves with butterfly wings, and they'd do all kinds of random animals/things too. I just checked and it's still up. I never hear anybody talking about it anywhere but it seems like a good amount of people still use it.

Just me over here, still devastated decades later, that I can't remember the email I used on Neopets so I can't revive my account. 😭

New video, click the slave cabin to begin.

I would love a review of the third Fantastic Beasts movie, per your question at the end of the video

Trans person here! I don’t care if people review Harry Potter media (especially older stuff like you said) as long as they make a basic disclaimer about JK. Also, I do camera capture all the time for my job! I’ve had the best luck with Blackmagic capture cards and thats the only input I’ll give without knowing your whole situation lol

As a British non-binary person... 1. If you think you have an interesting take on the most recent Fantastic Beasts, then I would trust you as a creator to do that. I've seen plenty of videos from you where I haven't seen the source material, and the video hasn't (in my opinion) suffered for that. So making the video isn't encouraging people to watch the film and support the creator. I would appreciate an explicit 'I don't agree with JK's gender critical ideology' for those who stumble across you as new viewers. But I think there is value to being able to critically engage with art produced by people whose views we disagree with, and I think there's huge value in being able to ridicule people (or their creations) in a position of power, especially where we disagree with what they're doing with that power 2. I think Hamelys is the toy store name you're search for (the UK much worse but fancier in a boring way FAO Schwartz) 3. I looked up those Pokémon micromachines and the UK postage is so cheap, so I think we know who's winning there 4. I recently went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and would love to hear your theme park expert views. There's such a wealth of rides, from 100 year old wooden coaster and some exceptional dark rides from multiple eras to a water ride with a flume through literal fire. And I only know how cool it all was because of the theme park knowledge I've learned from your channel. So I'd love to hear your expert opinion on this classic UK park

I remember Shuka vividly, I had a hat and a plush but looking back on it those whales were not happy. Rip Marine World, now discovery kingdom.

Oh oh! Re: Aikarin, recently on MLPTP one of their customs resurfaced- someone had gotten a secondhand custom and they werre able to find out it was Aikarin from the website portfolio. That's how I learned about Airkarin, and also I found the "radioactive" knockoff g3 pony and ended up buying a lot of ponies that is the same, neon green sparkly g3 bootleg from dollar tree.

I miss the ancient Cartoon Network Space Ghost sub-site.

Jenny! You disparaged Buffy just offhandedly, as if it was cannon that Buffy sucks. I demand an in depth review of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This has prompted me to go down memory lane looking up old Xena fansites from when i was a kid. I dont think I've found the one I was extra obsessed with (which had those picture games where you slide squares around to make a complete picture) but xenaville.com is amazingly still active (and adorably includes a link to the original page from 1997!) And xenafan.com still exists as an archive adorably. Both sites seem to be pretty well archived on the Wayback Machine too which warms my heart. Both are soooo 00s/90s, especially in the archives! I haven't yet tried to see if the Xena: The Ultimate Battle fan game that i was completely obsessed with still works... 🥰😅

This video was so great!! I remember in my computer lab there was this math game but it involved battling these weird gross looking trolls. Like you had to solve multiplication questions in order to defeat them. I wish I could remember what it was called it was so strange!!

I adopted a bear at Boyd's Bears! So nostalgic to hear Jenny talk about it! But I don't remember that smell, luckily

I remember Zany Brainy! It’s where my parents would get the Humongous games for me like Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam and such. I think it was previously a store called Noodle Kidoodle, at least the location I had.

The Jenny Patreon videos keep me going. The joy I feel seeing this one is 3 hours <3

I was 100% convinced my neopets account was dead, but when you mentioned Pet Lookup I tried it and my pet is still there! I have no idea how to get into it bnut my account is alive somewhere

You should 100% do the Fantastic Beasts 3 video.

That was an outstanding defunct websites ramble. But wait, there’s more! Jenny threw in at no cost to you an American Girl ramble, a Neopets ramble, a My Little Pony ramble, a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ramble, and a Pokémon ramble! The Civil War even made multiple appearances. Lincoln made some sort of speech in Gettysburg but he inexplicably didn’t mention the ice cream parlor that smelled like burnt hair. He wasn’t as good at covering multiple topics as Jenny is. I googled what might be causing the camera jitteriness and it said earthquakes can cause that so it’s not Jenny’s fault. It’s the San Andreas Fault!

As a zoomer (2001) we also had computer lab! We would go once a week and learn how to type, search things up, and use creative software like Ms paint.

Jenny what team do you play for in the altador cup usually, inquiring minds want to know

I’m 24 and had computer class in elementary but i think we were one of the last years to do that. So older gen z definitely had them.

Yes to Fantastic Beasts! It's fine, it's not like you're hyping Rowling or anything, although I understand the caution. I stopped watching after the first one because it was terrible imo, apparently it gets worse from there. I felt like your recap of 2 was all I needed

YTMND got its name from the movie Finding Forrester, which thought it was a good idea to give Sean Connery the ridiculous line "You're the man now, dog!" and included it in the trailer.

They wayback machine will take search terms as well, like https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/flutter%20valley

ZANY BRAINY! My sibling and I used to BEG to go when we were little, we loved it. I remember they had a big playset inside you could run around on. One time, we wanted to stay so bad and pitched such a fit that my mom ended up literally carrying my sibling (then a very small child) out of the store, upside down. Good times.

I fully support another Fantastic Beasts video! Or whatever video you want to do, honestly. You mentioned Galaxy of Fear in an older video, I am still hoping you get to that one day as it was one of my favorite series back then (when it was current), hard to replicate that sense of horror and intrigue and discovery I got from reading it. Weird imperial science projects are cool, I know you don't like Rogue One but I rewatched it recently and it kinda scratched that itch lol

I loved your first two fantastic beasts videos, personally I'm all for you finishing the series!

Also, I'll just say, for anyone appreciating this vid of Jenny looking through websites on the internet archive, consider donating to the Internet Archive. They could use the money for the court cases they're fighting right now, and I'd also like to keep all this old Internet nostalgia online!

Oh! That glitter breakdown happens to old LARP weapons! They are padded cores covered in latex mixed with paint - there are makers who used a particular kind of copper/bronze paint that contained metallic flakes which meant it looked really cool BUT after about six months the latex would turn tacky and rot away. It's less of an issue these days but it still catches out new manufacturers occasionally.

Hearing Jenny slip into the ol' FIW Applejack voice made me smile like a goober 😂

HOMESTAR RUNNER MENTIONED. I could probably ramble for an equivalent amount of time about Homestar Runner, I used to be deep into the fan wiki.

hearing ‘zanybrany’ and ‘crazy bones’ in rapid succession sent me back in time

as someone who spent a lot of time of similar dog themed breeding websites and Warrior cats forums, adoptables were definitely a thing across fandoms. I had many of my warrior cats character that I referred to as a 'fursona' because I didn't know what that was.

That vibrating Pikachu took me right back, there was a weird fad for these little vibrating pull string toys in the 00s (I had a cute fluffy mouse that did it for sure and probably other things too that are probably still at my parents house). SO stoked to here you opened up the Fantastic Beasts 3 stuff again, I would love this!! As you say, such a fascinating failed franchise to document, on top of the actual film being so incredibly bad. I would love a video on that so much!

Thank you, Jenny! This was a ton of fun

I take offense that dressupgames . com wasn't on the list

also we literally have all the same pets

I'm an upper-tier IT troubleshooter, I wish I could help with your camera issue. It feels like the camera capture software is not capturing enough frames per second. I've been trying to get set up to do capture for some youtube videos for ancient computer (1980s) repair, and ran into this. I can't say I have enough personal experience to help. I do hope you find a solution though! (And if you do please share the 50,000 ft view of the solution in a future video's comments!)

i spent probably 5 years constantly emailing neopete support to get access to my original account that i made when i was 6 bc i no longer had the email. probably like 3 years ago they answered and i got in only to find out that i couldnt play any of my favorite flash arcade games and i was so devastated i havent been back

Sorry If Jenny mentioned this in other videos but do we know what the Barbie video is gonna be about? Is it gonna be jenny watching all the animated Barbie movies, Gerwig movie, or like the concept of Barbie in general? I also wouldn't be surprised If it was about a very niche weird Barbie community lol. I'm kinda excited about it honestly

Jenny: I wasn’t sure what to talk about for this topic Also Jenny: Another wonderful THREE HOUR VIDEO

Re: Fantastic Beasts: Maybe you could kinda split the difference and drop it on Patreon so the work doesn't totally go to waste but also doesn't draw the eyes of a wider audience? Also you could title it something like "Fantastic Beasts still sucks and so does J-Ro" so that if someone screengrabbed just the thumbnail+title your stance would still be clear. But anyway, it was a delight to see all the nostalgic joy on display in this ramble! Please don't wear yourself out too much filming these, but at the same time know they are much loved and appreciated. ❤️

Sorry if it’s off topic, but I was a bit surprised when Jenny mentioned that she used to be blonde. Kind of have a hard time picturing that. Also a little disturbed by her casually mentioning at the end that she stores cheese in a drawer

Timecube. A legend.

Jenny and I are the same age so whenever she talks about her childhood it always brings back my own childhood memories. I also only played computer games on disc until around 10. I remember the first thing I used to do on the internet was Google waterparks. I would look at all the rides parks had and wished I could go to them lol. I also remember this website my best friend showed me, it was a social site and there were like horses you could adopt. And I think the horses were actual pictures of horses and stuff. I feel like a might have made that site up sometimes because I have no idea what that could have been and my friend only showed me it a couple times.

My personal go to website was archiecomics. I would live there. Retrospective on the fantastic beasts movies would be great. They are bad and I wish I had gotten a nice beasty travelogue. But I do think making a video about just the films failing as films without addressing the infamous other stuff - jk transphobia and maybe even Johnny Depp - might lead to the comments you mentioned. So I agree with others that addressing it in some way could help because the cancellation of the films was bigger than the films themselves. I think you might get some silly comments anyway because some people are feral. But most will be chill. I hope you do it.

That which My Little Pony are you quiz is an MBTI personality test. From her answers I would guess INTJ.

As soon as you mentioned the difference between Starcatcher's prototype and sold doll I was like "THAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT PROJECT" and then immediately you mention finding a Starcatcher to reroot. PLEASE do this, please and thank you, I would die

omg as a millennial who spent too much time inside looking at pokemon websites and whose closest park was also Marine World I feel so seen. I started going before the 6 Flags buyout but after they dropped "Africa USA" from the name though. I remember riding Medusa as my first ever "big scary ride" at like 13. And the sad whale. (Also good tip on the KFC beanies I have a zubat flying his way to me now 🖤)

IDK if this has been mentioned in another ramble or anything, but what happened to the other Bubsy?

I have a metapod plush and he's a fantastic neck pillow. That crescent-shaped body, perfect for neck support when I'm reading in bed or something. Get the metapod!

With respect to fantastic beasts: I think doing the video would be fine (especially if you're just roasting it lol). But I absolutely think you should disclaim at the start of the video that you know about the issues with JKR and you don't agree with her etc. Partly because it's reassuring to hear as a trans person. But mostly on a practical level, I think it'd be similar to the reason you redid star cruiser because you knew all the comments would just say "hey did you know star cruiser is closed now?". If you don't acknowledge the issues with harry potter before you start talking about it, all the comments will probably just be saying that.

Pausing the video to say that I remember the fanfiction about Dr_Death and the pink Uni, , who the author named 'Rosemadder.' I mean, there were probably other fics as well, but that one was a series that actually made it into the Neopian Times several times.

when our WB store went out of business i remember my dad bought a bunch of the giant figure statues, at least the batman and superman and the pinky and the brain set, i'm sure he still has them somewhere

The WB store absolutely was full of Dad merch but I loved going there circa mid-90s because they had little kid computer bays that, iirc, only ran Looney Tunes coloring book software. So you could color surrounded by all the polo shirts and golf bags.

Please make the third fantastic beasts video! I’m always telling people the best part of those movies existing are your videos!

Omg Aikarin! I used to visit that so often!

Homestar Runner (who did move to YouTube) found a workaround for the death of flash and appears to still exist... although there wouldn't have been much to do for the video other than hear Homestar say "Toons!" "Games!" "Characters" and whatnot. Something Awful is a shell of what it once was, archived articles but none of the old pictures, so Fashion SWAT is just pointless.

I LOVED watching you take us through your favorite old MLP sites, not because I was a MLP girlie but because I had a parallel experience... but with Sailor Moon! Spending hours on fansites and clicking through webrings and devouring every bit of information and fanart in the early 2000s was such a bit part of my young adolescence.

Casually dropping a 3 hour video as a monthly ramble 😊

Jenny I am so serious, the BEST and MOST COMPREHENSIVE pony site is still up and it’s called strawberryreef, I could scroll it for hours

I can't tell if the "Folks at Boyds do not accept tips... you're a part of the Boyds Family! (Besides we want you to spend your dough upstairs!)" is as bad as my initial GAGGING at working any sort of service industry job that doesn't accept tips, or simply that the bears were so plentiful that they didn't have a need for that darned US currency anyway. The bears were enough for those workers. And the jams.

As an older zoomer I also had computer lab as a class (no separate science class, though)! The non-interactive curriculum largely taught already-obsolete information about different types of floppy discs and hardware. Had the same kind of assignment to make a PowerPoint presentation about anything, graded on inclusion of a certain # of each type of feature (transitions, etc). As you can imagine, encouraging 8-9 year olds to cram as many mid 2000s PPT features as possible into one presentation makes for deeply obnoxious, disjointed powerpoints. Easily half the presentation time per slide was spent waiting for all the added object/text animations to cycle through as they bounced/spun/dissolved on and off screen. As for educational computer games in class, my favorites were a jungle themed platformer and a Santa-in-spaceship asteroid shooter keyboard games. RE neopets: I barely played this game but I loved drawing fanart of the fairies and I totally remember the tooth fairy! I spent sooo many hours playing her in the little fairy snake game, flying around in her little vehicle leaving behind a trail of teeth. I actually really liked the later designs, but I always did prefer straight up fantasy. The forest and mermaid fairies were my absolute faves.

I believe the story behind both the high quality and the randomness of the KFC Pokemon Beanies is that they were actually from the same product line as the store-bought beanies with the more popular characters (Pikachu, Squirtle, etc.). KFC got these four in particular to release exclusively (possibly because they weren't as "valuable" as the others, maybe Vulpix was included as a more desirable addition to sweeten the deal).

WE ARE SO BACK

Listening to you talk about MLP in this video is so fun and extremely relatable because I had a very similar experience with Sailor Moon dolls when I was a child on the internet! I was introduced to (and learned how to use) the internet specifically to research Sailor Moon dolls when I was five or six and would spend hours reading through the same four or five websites and learning about all of the dolls that were made across the world, and since that interest never faded for me I now own a lot of those dolls and it's such an emotional experience every time I add another vintage SM doll to my collection lol

sooooo excited about the time dedicated to neopets in this video, a place I also dedicated a lot of time to in elementary school. while I never stumbled upon fanfic I did obsessively watch a flash animation AMV with a usul singing to “my happy ending” by avril lavigne lmao

I've spent the last two months getting back into Neopets and I'm curious if it'll be discussed. The site is so outdated but so fun and unapologetically bizarre. Truly a living time capsule (with micro transactions). Edit: I commented before even loading the thumbnail lol. I'm so stoked to watch this while pound surfing :D

As a trans person myself, I think the Fantastic Beasts video is totally fine to do. I feel like at this point the majority of the Harry Potter fandom denounces JK Rowling's ideals and separates her art. It might be worth it to mention that you were worried about the negative connotations because it will show people that you fall into that category. Even without a disclaimer though, I think the act of simply reviewing a movie is innocent no matter who created the series.

i liked your fantastic beast videos and want another one :)

You were a "Crazy Bones" person? Me and my friends called them Go-gos. Had a lot of fun bruising out nails flicking those lil things at each other

Love this. I wish I had a popular YouTube channel so I could do a room tour of my giant webkinz house since I still have my original profile. But I don't think that would be interesting to anyone but me hahaha

Thank you for the G3 MLP representation - I personally love the little magnets and heart details. Also agree on TAF Buttons being super cute (the chartreuse and teal is so mod)

omg memory unlocked re: boyd bear country. every summer i’d go to aaa with my parents so they could get a map to the beach highlighted (and the lady who would give the directions had the squeakiest highlighter ever lol.) anyways sitting around for that was obviously boring as a kid so i would look at all the brochures of things to do in pa/tristate area instead and i remember seeing the boyd bear country one and being absolutely determined to go. alas we never went… (also can confirm that i was given samantha as my first american girl doll since she looked the most like me)

I'd love to send Jenny a Grundo's Cafe referral code, I honestly enjoy it more than the official site these days.

Do the Fantastic Beasts video! People are going to people, don't let them stop you from releasing some of your art. You've got to complete the trilogy, your not Divergent after all.

the noise i made at "click the slave cabin to begin"

Why was the gray faerie not on the list? That faerie changed my entire life, I was such a sad kid lmao. I literally wrote a poem about it LOL

In defense of Pleasant Company, when they were developing Addy they put together an advisory board made up of black scholars and historians, and it was that board who decided the character should be a former slave. I understand why some people didn’t like it, but it was at least carefully considered. https://slate.com/culture/2016/09/the-making-of-addy-walker-american-girls-first-black-doll.html

The people demand the third Fantastic Beasts trainwreck video.

Thoughts: My grandma LOVED and collected Boyds Bears and i’ve been to the store in Gatlinburg when I was little 😭 and YES to the fantastic beasts movie. I’m pretty sure we all know your feelings toward JK Rowling being awful and the other two videos are some of my favs.

Smoothies never went. Everyone in my town misses smoothies and Jamba juice lol. The only reason they went out of business is pricing I think?? Idk I may be wrong lol

I think you'll be happy to know that Homestar Runner's site is alive and well. There are new toons a few times a year that are just as good as the classics, and you can easily view most of the toons in modern browsers. (It's thanks to the Flash emulator Ruffle, which runs the toons automatically on the site) Some of their stuff is officially on YouTube as well.

I think you'll be fine on the fantastic beasts video. Maybe take a similar approach as the spider quest vid and send some ad revenue to a trans charity, and throw in a mold joke or two🤷🏼‍♀️

I remember waaaay too much about neopets. I think I joined it in year 2 or 3? I had a really similar experience where I wanted to try the Jamba Juice Tigerfruit Smoothie, but it was at a mall stand and there were no signs for it, so I wimped out because I didn't want to ask for something and get a blank stare because it wasn't there. Also neopets and neopet accounts definitely purge. Neopet fan forums used to track old accounts and monitor for when they'd purge because they'd want to scoop up interesting pet names or secondary accounts with good names. It's probably still a thing, actually, since modern neopets is so obsessed with pets that have proper real world names, and the better the formatting and more common the name the more desirable in their modern pet trade. I don't know the exact threshold for purging, but it had to be at least 5 years of inactivity or more. There was a funny bug related to purged pets, where if you made a pet that had a purged pet's name, any description the purged neopet had on its pet page would be present on your new pet until you cleared it. That happened to me by complete coincidence once.

1:04:54 Someone sat still and worked on a whole upload: a page of a comic about putting things away after school. It's not a smart decision, but there's something ... dedicated to plan about it.

Also, in middle school, a friend introduced me to something.com. Every now and then, I check to see if it’s still online. As of writing this comment, it still is.

I just got back into Neopets after having my account frozen as a teen over a series of stupid infractions (I think the last straw was when I posted on the neoboards about kissing my crush). It's hilarious how much of the current site is still super outdated! My username is allyson180 if anyone wants to add me ✌ my latest passion is adopting super old pets from the pound and sprucing them up. I adopted super_shop_wizard this week and he is the light of my life. Happy to share tips and items too! (10/10 Techo-Rick voice btw)

Actually pearl harbor is just the one tiny part of how contentious things got for Hawaiian indigenous people. But of course they're only gonna focus on that

The thing I look back on computer lab and can’t help but be fascinated by was that essentially, millennials were being taught how to use computers by a generation that was still figuring out how to use them themselves. Good teachers should always aim for their students to surpass them, but this just felt like a very unique moment in time where, within a few years of instruction, we may as well have been teaching them how to use computers and the internet.

Why do the confusing Neopets storylines sound like Evermore 😭

apologizing for the video being longer than normal as if you don’t know what you’ve done for us

Jenny i think the science thing might have been just your school lol I'm 32 and have no earthly idea what youre talking about

I am older than Jenny and listening to her talk about her experiences of Internet vs probably zoomers is hilarious to me

i can’t stop laughing at the quiz w 20 options/question

One of your best videos, definitely deserves a * on the master post. We got neopets, we got ponies, we got everything!

PLEASE make the fantastic beasts video, I think it would be great and honestly not, like, problematic because the movies are all terrible and you’d be making fun of her. Maybe lightly address it? Link some video essays? And then I think you’d be fine 🤷🏼‍♀️

Suprise preview of the abandoned animatronics ramble lets goooo!

I think I played NEOPETS during the first two years of its existence. When I had AOL. I know I played it before I joined the military in 2002 and I didn't play after I joined. I was awful at it. Could never get good food for my pets. They were always starving. I couldn't win at the arena...or whatever the Pet Vs Pet game was.

I'm a millennial, a little bit of an older millennial than Jenny. Born in the 80s, had a computer since 1993, spent a LOT of time on the early internet. I have a feeling this will be a nostalgic video for me :)

I'd be thrilled to have a belated fantastic beasts 3 video, as a big fan of the first 2 (videos, not movies)

Marine World Africa USA was my childhood theme park too. RIP giant whale themed ball pit

Thanks so much this is perfect timing for my post Rosh Hashanah Meltdown

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE HORNY POWER PUFF GIRLS AND DEXTER! Blossom and Dexter were an item! Maybe I'm wrong and it was a different site of essentially doujinshi...

I have to do the most boring stuff at work today (out of a generally very boring job) so this could not have come at a better time. Thanks Jenny!

Just started the video, why does it make so much sense that you had Kirsten. Info: Did Lindsey have an American Girl and if so which one?

I lived on the early web. So did my friends. 3 hours probably is just the tip of the iceberg for you, I'd imagine.

I remember spending hours on PBS kids.org... just so many flash games

I'm a zoomer and I had computer lab classes growing up!

loving the arc of rambles getting longer and longer

Computer lab for Gen X consisted of text games on TRS-80s. There was one game that asked me my name so naturally I entered Louis. It responded, “Hi, Louis. It’s nice to meet you!” I then ran the program over and over again and had the computer call me every curse word I could think of. That was when I learned that computers really are very useful machines.

Wait hold on I had star catcher!! I thought her fabricy wings were so magical and she had this tiara that snapped on! I completely forgot I had her. Unfortunately I played with her too much and I remember her wings falling off to expose her plastic wing skeleton :( I still loved that pony either way

I just started the video but the american girl choose your own adventure is so insanely wild

tom hiddelston jump scare omg

There was one My Little Pony webcomic I loved as a kid, called Kimono's Townhouse. It had the Gen 3 Kimono and Minty (my favorite pony). I think my mom introduced it to me? It's newer than the ones you mentioned, but I'm curious if you heard of it or read it!

THREE HOURS? Omg lol thank you queen Jenny!!! 👏👏👏

third fantastic beast video would be amaze (the second one was one of ur first videos i ever saw). its been long enough since it came out that it would be funny on principal that ur doing it now, and at this point everyone knows jk is a pos so i don’t think it would be bad to do it???? also its like hysterical that its the end of the “og” “franchise” lol. like they’ve just gone ahead and decided that movie was so bad they needed to start all over again. i say yay to fantastic beasts three: jenny’s revenge!!!

to add for consideration: http://www.trollforest.com/oldindex.htm

also i just looked it up and you can apparently buy pdfs of the plush pony patterns on etsy for like $2 so that could be huge

no video! why does my patreon app suck?

THREE HOURS?!

I’m a Millennial/Gen Z Cusper (1998) and I distinctly remember playing that Addie game in computer lab to tie into our history unit. Also, we read one of the Kaya books in advanced reading group and I’m pretty sure she was kidnapped by a different tribe? I was 7 reading that.

Only 35 minutes in and already flabbergasted by the Bruce Forsyth Neopet

Just subscribed to her patreon and a 3 hour video drops regarding a tiered list of best busted websites. Feeling very seen as a millennial

my mom came into the room when i was watching this and said, “why is she wearing that hat?” like god, mom, you just don’t understand.

What! Art had to be a separate classroom too because of all those supplies! Man… my early internet was web rings, collecting Star Trek backgrounds and sounds on discs, and of course fonts. I wasn’t expecting our first activity to be escape slavery.

A THREE (3) HOUR RAMBLE VID!?!? What did we do to deserve this. I don't remember sacrificing my firstborn son to the volcano to ensure a bountiful harvest.

i remember the extent of our “computer lab” as a zoomer in the U.K in fifth grade was a program called “dance mat typing” with a crazy dancing goat in a hot pink jumpsuit

i have a classic copy of Backyard Baseball that i'm going to play while watching this video so we can have a mutual 90s nostalgia moment edit: if that didn't give it away, i'm a fellow millennial, and i also remember the computer/general/science class split!!! i remember them teaching us the "Home Position" for typing (that i never actually followed lol), and scaring us by telling us about creepy people on the internet in the classic late 90s/early 2000s way, but i don't even remember any other part of the computer class...

as a gen z (2003) we did have a computer lab at my elementary school! i don't remember them letting us play games but we used it for research projects and learning how to google lol

Stuck home with sciatica this vid is perfect!!!

I feel like the things that got separated in elementary school mostly just have to do with resources and staffing. For me, the teachers just traded off for their specialty subjects sometimes science, sometimes social studies, sometimes math. And computer lab was all just typing games

THREE HOURS??? Good lord Jenny 😂

Almost entirely pony websites haha. I never would have guessed 🤔

Jenny decided to include every website in the history of the Internet

I just got back into Neopets about a year ago and I'm a daily player again! Same account as I had in 2002. I'm not a mobile game person, but I've found that the once-a-day activities on the site are just enough of just the right kind of activity to be doing on my phone. Plus I do like a few of the on-site games that I will play every once in a while on my desktop. It helps that very old impossible-to-obtain items are being rereleased and recirculated so on-site goals are actually achievable things now which they weren't when I was a kid.

OLD AMERICAN GIRL SITE REPRESENTATION LETS GOOO

3 hour Jenny the same week as the ~9 hour Billiam Lost finale? My cup runneth over good gracious

Don't feel bad about AC, Jenny. The prize shop sucked this year.

can confirm as a zoomer we had computer lab until i was in like 6th grade which was a great joy to have experienced

I also loved the American Girl magazine

Just had a wave of nostalgia for an all-cupcake bakery we had in 2014, I remember buying Valentine's Day cupcakes from them, thinking high-end cupcakes was a cool business model and then never thinking about them again until now

seeing the runtime has brought me an immense amount of joy

Neopets had that weird connection to Scientology. Also, do you remember the Cartoon Network summer camp, where if you completed the tasks you got an animated sugar ray music video…

“Click the slave cabin to begin” Jesus Christ.

as soon as I saw the notification i just knew i was gonna get like an hour's worth of neopets content i'm so excited

HOMESTAR RUNNER MENTION 🏠⭐🏃 LET'S GOOOOOOO

i love ur makeup and outfit in this one !!! 🩷

YESSS

I'm a slightly older zoomer (25), but I was pulled out for music, science, and P.E. and occasionally computer lab. The same goes for my siblings, who are both younger than me. I think it might depend on the school and district, to be honest.

a three hour jenny video on a random wednesday... i don't know what i did to deserve this blessing

I would spend HOURS on the American Girl website. I loved the like Tea Time with Felicity and the Coconut games

I forgot that fuzzy JubJub plush existed, and how much I wanted it 20 years ago.

"This was one where I had no idea" 3 hours long

Space jam?!

thank you for this delicious three hour meal

Yey

Aaaaaaah!! AAAAAHHHH!!! Eh-hum…Sorry about that. 😅*calmly presses play*

I thought you liked watching me play sims :(

Jennie I would vert happily give you a code to join classic neopets remake Grundos Cafe

i’m 21 so a zoomer and in elementary we had “specials” where we would be taken out of class it rotated everyday between music, p.e and computer lab ( i hated it bc we mostly focused on typing and our teacher would cover the keyboard so we could memorize the keys so we could type without looking down, we also had to keep our hands in a “spider” position which was very unnatural and uncomfortable lol) but from what i understand that’s has been fazed out at least in my school district

I've never been prouder to be a pardner 🥲

https://nobodyhere.com/justme/ This site literally came into my mind lol

YESSSSSS I'm newly resubbed and I'm so glad I did 🥰

I used to love the Cheerios website when I was a kid... for some reason it had cheerio-themed games on it.

great video i just finished all 3 hours

As someone who came back to Neopets in 2020 and has played daily ever since, I am SCREAMING.

thank you jenny 🙏

Start of Jenny video on YouTube: “So…” Start of Jenny video on Patreon: (weird sound effect)

3 hours… thank you for your service queen 🫡

I'm delighted to see this notification I'm home sick from work so this is perfect timing for me.

Thank you Mother for the gift we so humbly receive 🙌 we are not worthy !!!

This has appeared as I'm in a cottage in the remote Welsh mountains after walking back from dinner in pitch darkness and now I'm debating if I stay up till 3 a.m. watching it just because I feel the slightly spooky vibes seem appropriate both for Jenny and ghostly websites.

Oh shit are we talking Neopets? I had an entire criminal enterprise on those forums, I was banned for life. All I wanted was the pirate paintbrush, I was embracing the pirate lifestyle

This is perfect for the all-nighter I need to pull tonight!

Short one today, huh?

I LOVE YOU JENNY FOR THE 3 HOURS I'M SO EXCITED

thank you jenny 🙏

so excited for this. made my day jenny thank u

I was literally 5 mins ago thinking about how I really wish I had a new ramble or something to listen to and it dropped almost immediately after this is truly a blessed day

3 hours!! well worth the wait

We are eating good tonight fellas

yippeee

THREE HOURS!!!!!

woo!!!

yay!

3 hours, thank you Jenny!!!
