Talkboy Tape Recorder | Retro Junk Commercial

I loved this thing. I wish I still had it too. Got it the Christmas after the movie came out. I played with it so much that I actually wore out the speed control but it still worked though lol.

d'oh! my talkboy tape recorder broke sometime in 1997! i miss it!

I seriously created radio shows with this thing. I listened to them for my own entertainment. I think this is why I'm a filmmaker now

I had this before they thought of TalkGirl

I wish they still make talkboys

I used to have one those used record tv with it
i also have the pen verison

i had one i would tape parts from movies

i had one. i was always taping things. then in broke.

I had the girl version of that I loved it

I remember this so well I'm just sad that I didn't get it T^T

still have a working one. always repeated lines from HA2.

Kevin from Home Alone had one./

Oh my goodness! I forgot all about this commercial! Wanted one of these too!

lol their dad had issues if he really sounded like that

"hhhhhhhhhhhiiiiii kiiiidddds weeerrree hoommme eearllyy"

Looking back, I thank the Lord that my parents don't sound like that.

This was all the rage thanks to Home Alone 2. I wanted it, but never got one sadly.

I got this for Christmas (I didn't want the Talk Girl because it was pink -- eww!) right after it came out. I seriously counted down the days until Christmas morning, I was that excited...

After about five minutes with this thing, I realized that the commercial made it look a hell lot cooler than it actually was. But it wasn't a total loss since it made a pretty decent walkman.

"hi kids we're home early" man thats stayed wth me for 18 years... lol

Their dad apparently has a terrible breathing problem if he actually sounds like that.

i wnated one of these

I remember we had this, and also the pen version. It recorded like 10 seconds max, and you couldn't even understand simple speech that was recorded on it.

After seeing Home Alone 2, I didn't think the existed. But when viewing the Toys R' Us catalog and saw it. I got it for Christmas, that was the year I got everything I wanted (from my Dad's side of the family). Never happend again, the next year my half brother was born

I remember my older brother owned one of these

I had one and it was awesome!!!! But I couldnt get no one to fall for the pranks like in the commercial

oh god i remember if u had this u were the coolest kid ever T.T

I WANTED ONE!

MAN did I want this toy when I was a kid. Looked like fun even if the gags in the ad were impossible.

i never had that but i had yak bak

My brother had this. It's still in his closet actually.

I never had a talk boy But I had a huge tape recorder that I would cary around with me always!!!

I asked for this and all i got was a notebook. haha
i was kinda poor rof.

credit card, you got it. haha i remember i always wanted one of these, i think one of my friends had one, that bastard.lol!

One of the best toys I ever had, couldn't put it down!

I had a talkboy watch. It was way cooler. I recorded a lady in church on christmas singing and I played it for my sister after church and she cracked up. You could even make it go fast or slow. I miss it very much.

i use to have a talkboy, but it got broke. last year i got a talkgirl and she work great.

I remember thinking this was so cool when I saw the second Home Alone movie. And my mom got me a Talkgirl for Christmas!

OMG! I have one of these! This was possibly my favorite toy ever & still is! I would constantly play with it every day with my friends at my old neighborhood! I am 21 years old now & I still use it a lot! This is one of the coolest toys ever made PERIOD!

Yeah home alone made this thing famous. I always wanted one but my friend had it so i just played with it there.

I remember that toy! I wanted on really bad but never got one ): I thought that it was brilliantly used in Home Alone.

AW MAN I HAD THIS SO GREAT i laughed like crap when i sped it up. sounded like chimunks

I HAD ONE OF THOSE...lol

I always wanted one, then I found the joys of playing video games outweighted the want of this toy.

Someone I knew had one of these and I loved it. *Damn you subliminal messages in Home Alone.*

LOL gosh this commercial looks so old now, I always wanted one of those.

lol this never worked right but it still rocked

My cousin had one of these, he drove me crazy.

I remember this commercial, I always wanted these really bad, ever since Home Alone 2.

Never got one though, though if I see one now somewhere I'll buy it and use it to record my lectures in college :p

my mate had had one.
he lent it to me one day at school, i got a kid called matowish who no one liked to say fuck on it then played it in class.
the teacher didnt buy it and i got in shit.
had heaps of fun with it though.

I remember this. I never saw the point of it. =P

I remember this commercial. I used to want one of those Talkboys.

i always wanted one of them and never got one but that thing was cool

Typical stereotypical little brother...lol

I wanted the talkgirl recorder, too

I had a ton of fun with this toy! It broke a couple of times. There were also some times when we had a couple friends over, and they messed around with it a lot. For some reason, my brother never liked the speed control. Ahh, memories.

I so wanted the TalkGirl Recorder.

After seeing Home Alone 2, it justified my purchase of one!
