You know, it’s pretty clear that Barney is supposed to be this avant-garde thing that I’m not getting so I think it’s best if I try going back to the beginning to see if I can follow this thing easier. Let’s look at the very first Barney video ever created: The Backyard Show.

This being the first Barney thing ever created, there are bound to be oddities that many don’t know about, of course. Let’s check this thing out and see how things have changed. One thing you don’t see very often is that here we start out on an actual family with a father and mother, instead of just a group of kids. That comes later. Anyways, one thing that’s interesting about the very first episode is the amount of parent interaction. The acting is still very terrible, but at least you get some sort of insight into their parents’ lives. Sandy Duncan is the mom who gets complimented for catching a piece of toast and gets compared to being a T-Ball player and the dad has to go to a golf game. To be fair, the amount of parent interaction almost makes this intro kinda bearable. Yeah, cheesy, but still bearable. But then, before he leaves, the kids sing the “I Love You” song to him. Yes, folks, this is the very first recorded instance of the song itself. This is where it comes from. Not from the purple dino itself, but from the group of kids singing it to their father. It’s kind of sad that parents didn’t apparently go over well for the test audience they were getting, apparently. Perhaps if they were kept in and had actual character development, then it might actually be bearable, but then again, that’s assuming Barney even had internal logic. Turns out that Dad had actually forgot it was his own birthday, so the kids and Sandy think (for an extended period) about it and come up with a birthday show for Dad, using the old clothes sitting around the treehouse for them to use as costumes. After an establishing shot that lasts for 10 seconds just to pound that song into our skulls, they arrive at the clubhouse. The sister finds her first costume (read:headpiece) while the brother scares her with a lion mask. Soon after, the rest of the gang arrive (I guess they phoned them or something or used telekinetic powers or something, they don’t specify), they tell them about what they’re doing, they all say their specific talents then perform together a song together. though it’s short. They all try to find things to use for the show, and one of them finds the purple dino himself. She mistakenly puts it out for everyone to see, and summon him by saying words that might summon him, like you know, and we know he’s just gonna come out to solve everything, and what do you know, he comes out, a wind machine blows their hair back and once again, they sing the I Love You song again, as if we weren’t already annoyed by how many times they were playing it as incidental music. Perhaps it’s a metaphor for how much Barney ends up overtaking the parents in terms of caregivers, that everything they care about now turns into Barney. And goddamn, he sounds as deep as fuck, but with no real accent. Gotta wonder how that would’ve played out for the rest of the series. He somehow manages to guess all their talents and they tell him about their problem then suggests he wishes REAL HARD to imagine things work the way they want them to, like an old wagon becoming new, then what do you know, it happens but the other kids notice it as well. Clearly they’re tripping on things I don’t have if they’re able to see things that can only be seen through the power of imagination like that. Once again, another song. After, they find an old umbrella, and decide to use it for the song “Six Little Ducks”. They all pull out umbrellas and Barney “magically” turns them into duck umbrellas. Ok, apart from this kind of bullshit conundrum, I think it’s bad luck to open umbrellas indoors. After, they decide to resort to Halloween costumes, like a bumblebee and Humpty Dumpty. “But bumblebees hurt people!” Barney replies. I always find this a double-edged sword. For one, it disproves the theory that Barney is unsafe for children, but it’s also the stereotypical coddling of the generation we see today. So they do the Bumblebee song and Humpty Dumpty. I always like to point out that with “all the king’s horses”, uh, hooves and eggshells don’t go together very well. The other kid playing Humpty Dumpty climbs up a ladder and gets warned that he might fall. The more twisted side of me wishes fiction reflects reality and he actually DID crack his head…Anyways, they do Hickory Dickory Dock, which Barney turns into a clock with actual animated mice. Not necessarily Disney animation, but I imagine having to animate onto an actual live-action background like Roger Rabbit isn’t necessarily the easiest task easier, so yay for them, I guess? Then they do This Little Piggy (the anthem for foot fetishists everywhere) except they use a picture frame to imagine a blank slate with actual pigs, so it can’t even please the pedophilic side of that crowd. I guess that’s …good. The less pedophiles in this world, the better. Then they actually ask him if he could help put on the show for them……so that whole thing of him showing off his IMAGINATION skills was just PADDING. Jesus Christ, the songs were already bad enough, but having to devote this much time to showing off your imagination skills is just fucking offensive. But then, oh no, mommy’s coming! Hide Barney! Except that Barney has been known to actually talk to adults in the show with no trouble at all. I could say this is part of it being the very first episode, so it’s not set in stone, but it makes you wonder why he couldn’t grow and shrink more than once in the actual show. Might’ve made for some interesting dynamics. But what the fuck am I doing calling this show interesting? Anyways, Sandy talks to them about how the show’s going, and they burst into “If You’re Happy and You Know It”. Jesus, I know you’re just checking up on them, but they’re trying to work on something. Anyways, in that time, she put out balloons, decorations and a stage for them to use, which they could’ve done better with had she not fucking sang with them to begin with. Anyways, they get Barney out of hiding and urges them to get their shit together and get on the stage. He watches them from behind like the pedophile he is, Dad comes back, he sits down and gets them to the actual show. They sing a few nursery rhymes with costumes and routines, nothing particularly remarkable. Soon, Mom comes out with the birthday cake to “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow”, which Barney also ends up singing from behind. And no, this part doesn’t bear any particular relevance. He just ends up getting away with it…because he can. Fuck logic. And then they get Dad to do the Hokey Pokey against his own wishes. Because fuck the system as well. Then the two siblings thank Barney in his doll form for all the help he did…which was just materializing ideas they had themselves. Yeah, he didn’t really do much.

And that was The Backyard Show. Pretty fucking cringeworthy, but it might have been salvageable had it just been a video series and not the jumping point for one the biggest selling childrens’ franchises of all time. Fuck this piece of shit show.

Yes, going back to Mario555227. This is one of his earlier videos, Top 9 Christmas Specials.


0:00 "It's a me, Mario"

He realizes that today's Christmas, and celebrates and points out the elephant in the room, that there's no Christmas decorations because his MBot told him not to.

0:22 "Christmas decorations are pointless and you know it".

Yeah, why the fuck doesn't this guy just shut his shit off if he's gonna be such a goddamn contrarian.

0:42 This leads into his introduction about Christmas specials.

His character, Hobo Joe, says the best part of Christmas is when people give him stuff because his box gets snowed in.

Seriously, this is why skits are the cancer killing review videos today.

1:00 He looks out the window to see...a clip from Barney's Waiting for Santa.

Took us a minute and a half to know this was going to be complete cancer. Fuck this piece of shit.

1:29 "Sorry for the change in lighting and sound, movie maker screwed up the original file hench causing reshootin"

Well, maybe film it all on a different day, or use a better software that doesn't fucking crash all the time. Barneyfag logic, people.

1:39 Naturally, his buddies don't know what they are, so he introduces them.

He introduces this concept with Frosty the Snowman..and Barney's Waiting for Santa.

You know, people keep saying how Barneyfags aren't forcing their Barneyshit into everything they do, but this leads me to believe otherwise.

2:00 He introduces this with a 50-second clip from Barney's Night Before Christmas. WHY?

I have no idea, maybe just to force his shitty Barney obsession down out throats like most of these Barneyfags always do in their reviews, maybe. I have no idea, really, but considering how Barneyfags really have nothing else to do than to worship their shitty purple dinosaur show, this really shouldn't come off as surprising to me.

2:50 Number 9 is Wiggly Wiggly Christmas by the Wiggles.

We're really hitting it low here. He goes on about the show's history and how he's been a lifelong fan through the show's many changes, and whatever. I really don't care, this shit just sucks.

3:20 He tells about how something like the Wiggles doesn't necessarily need high production values for it to be great, when he's just damagecontrolling is the problem here.

He then plays a couple excerpts from the songs just to pad this thing's runtime, and says that if you want upbeat, laidback or plain silly, then pick this up. Yeah, that's the kind of shit you'd say to a 3-year-old.

4:53 Number 8 if The Year Without A Santa Claus.

Ok, this one isn't particular too odd, it's Rankin-Bass, sure, but it's still at least more accepted by many.

5:30 He uses this to complain about how that Christmas, he got a 3DS, Mario 3D Land but no Luigi's Mansion 2.

Ha, because you know, that's the kind of shit that belongs here.

6:03 He says that one reason to watch it is for the Fire Villain's song, then change the channel to see what else is on.

Yeah, way to make an objective Christmas specials list.

6:24 Number 7 is the Santa Clause.

Again, not much to say here, mainly because it's a Disney film, so no shit.

He says that what works is the comedy surrounding the issues that Santa would run into in real life, like shaving and weight gain.

7:00 “It makes you ask the question: If you became Santa Clause over the course of 11 months, would you freak out?” His MBot responds with “I wouldn’t”, and says he doesn’t count because he’s a robot. Yeah, that’s real nice.

7:35 Number 6 is Chuck E Cheese’s 1991 holiday show.

Um, yeah, I applaud trying to be different, but jeez, these are some pretty obscure choices you’re making here.

He goes on because of how it rearranges classic Christmas characters and the characters get along well.

9:30 Number 5 is every single Barney Christmas special.

Goddammit, way to show your bias by not choosing one. Once again going for the sheep mentality by just saying that all of them are great.

9:47 He starts off with Waiting For Santa, the Christmas special most associate with Barney, apparently, saying he’s going to take the longest time due to its “great songs”, which I again beg to differ.

10:45 He then goes onto Barney’s Night Before Christmas (the one Obscurus Lupa reviewed), which he then reluctantly states he grew up with instead of Waiting. As if growing up with one shitty toddlers’ show special and not the other is considered heresy.

11:20 He goes on to say how much Santa’s actor fits the role because of his beard, and how awesome one of the songs is (the one we’ve been listening to during the transitions).

Too bad he forgot to mention how terrible the CGI is here. 

12:10 Then he goes onto Barney’s Christmas Star, pointing out that’s when they did the most evil thing ever, changing the set to a park. *GASP* THAT’S ALMOST ON PAR WITH BIN LADEN AND SADDAM HUSSEIN!

Then he goes on a long comparison about Barney’s voice actors during that time. You see, this is why Barneyfags really shouldn’t make any reviews or lists, because you can tell they’ll spend the most time on Barney if it’s included, and overshadows the rest of the list with autism.

13:50 “Whether it be classic, BYG or modern, Barney will make your holiday season “super-dee-duper!”

Yeah, if you’re 4.

14:13 Number 4 is “I’m Dreaming of a White Ranger” from Power Rangers.

“Did I mention I’m a Power Rangers fan? Well, now you do. The more you know—*cue NBC’s The More You Know*” God, that was terribly edited together.

14:40 “Like Night Before Christmas, they got a Santa whose beard is actually real”.

15:02 “Make sure you watch this one and not the other one..—no don’t play the clip!” I really hate double standards when it comes to Barneyfags. They constantly praise Barney as this well-written Shakespearean lwork and criticize other shows that take from it.

15:34 Number 3 is A Garfield Christmas, and points out that while it has no plot, that benefits the special since it wasn’t meant to and it has good comedy.

16:10 You might notice a big problem with this guy is that he places too much focus on songs, when really, that shouldn’t be the fucking point to anything.

17:10 And then…a Conway Twitty cutaway. *facepalm* And people defend these Barneyfags. Are you fucking kidding me.

18:10 Number 2 is A Muppet Christmas Carol. “The Muppets want to get out of the Batman movie— *Dark Knight Rises poster* There’s a Batman movie, right?” What was the point of that joke?

19:00 “And let’s not forget the songs are pretty much timeless at this point” Again with the songs. Songs do not make a Christmas special, nor piece of media for that matter.

20:00 “What this deleted song? “When Love Is Gone”. We don’t need that! *tosses DVD and breaks window*”. I’m not even sure if that room of his even has a window.

21:06 And Number 1 is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Which he only spends 45 seconds on. So apparently circle jerking over Barney is worth 4 1/2 minutes to spend but National Lampoon isn’t even worth 1?

FUUUUCKKK, these people piss me off so much.

22:15 And the end credits theme is “I Love You”.

God this was painful.

Well, if that last list wasn't cringeworthy enough, just wait til you see his top 9 video on Barney itself.

This one counting down the top 9 "touching moments" in Barney and Friends.
Let's get deep into this shit.

0:00 Points out that as of the date this video was made, the Barney franchise will soon be turning 25 years old. Why didn't we stop it?
0:20 Now he feels contractually obligated to try to explain the history of the franchise.
The only problem with this is that there is no need for it since the only people who'd care are the ones who like Barney and already know about its history and those that don't like Barney just see it as circle-jerking and wouldn't automatically be hooked on such a shitty show to begin with.
Reminds me of that other terribly cringy video Jeremy Crispo made as a response to BlackBusterCritic where he pretty much did the same thing.
0:42 "Ok, sounds like a pedo"
Well, he was referring to the very beginning of the series, when he had a very deep voice. At least he can agree with me on one thing.
1:00 "Which parts of the series really got you, like which one showcased how well-written the show was?"
At this point, I was just lying on my bed, silently laughing and chuckling at just how plain fucking WRONG he is. Even trying to say that Barney and Friends is well-written at all is an oxymoron in itself. This belongs right up there with "quality entertainment" and "severely underrated" in terms of how someone can just be plain retarded and wrong in describing Barney.
1:19 Then a 30-second montage of Barney set to "I Love You".
We are not in for a good time, fellas.
1:49 Number 9 is the ending speech from Barney in Concert.
He powerlevels and spergs about his knowledge of the franchise and says that this scene sums up the franchise very well:
2:04 "When a dinosaur has friends like you, it's like having a great big family. That makes me feel welcome wherever I go. We have to go where kids are using their imaginations. If you wish real hard, I'll be there."
Except you know, when they actually do it and they're immediately disappointed and realize that their fucking purple dino god has betrayed them all. Way to go, writers. Don't wanna get those kids' hopes up too much. Is it supposed to make them question their elders and test their beliefs on who they should obey in society? This is clearly some Matrix-level shit that I clearly can't understand.
2:50 Number 8 is "My Family's Just Right For Me."
Plot is the kids have an open house kind of thing for their family, except one kid feels ashamed because she doesn't think her family is special, but Barney reassures that whether how big or small the family is, the amount of love they share for each other is big. You know, in a GOOD show, they would more or less SHOW, not TELL this message.
3:40 "At least Kathy's not as creepy as the kid from the Israeli version."
To me, they all share a lack of identity all the same. You're not really proving here, you know.
4:00 Number 7 is "Friends Are Forever" from Three Wishes (misidentified as "Someone To Love You Forever".
Looking at the song's lyrics, it seems to be about how friends will always last as long as you make-believe them. So.....tulpas. Tulpas that people make that people talk to to the point where they believe they're real. Yeah.
4:25 "The song is really good and great lyrics. The song is about how friends will always be there for you, no matter what."
Yeah, going by the number of suicides, drug addicts that have ended up on the street, people who have been rejected due to being assholes or just plain untrustworthy, I don't think "no matter what" is a good statement.
4:56 Number 6 is "A Very Special Delivery".
He calls it not only his favourite Barney episode, but his favourite season finale to any show, period.
You know, I could rant on and on about how uncultured he is to even consider praising this shit like this, but that's pretty obvious by now that he doesn't have a fucking clue what he's doing. "Tosha is showing off her baby brother to the kids...it has two themes, families and uniqueness. It handles it by saying that birth rates don't look the same. That's pretty creative" I can smell the damagecontrolling from a mile away. 
5:30 "Barney sings a lullaby for her two baby brothers and it just sounds great".
Um, nope. No. Nothing's gonna change my opinion on not listening to that shit.
6:41 Number 5 is "A Pot Full of Sunshine".
Oh yes, the inevitable death episode where Baby Bop's plant dies. Barneyfags in the past to try and say "Oh, this show can handle mature themes", but in reality, it's really just trying to be "Goodbye Mr. Hooper" from Sesame Street, but not as effective. Even one of the bigger Barneyfags in the community have admitted this, though he still likes that episode regardless.
He goes on about how the modern seasons tend to be a mixed bag, but it's all shit to me.
7:25 He says the song in it is great about if you lose somebody, tomorrow will come to take your cares away.
7:50 Number 4 is "Everyone Is Special"
It's an episode about uniqueness and how everyone is special. SO DEEP. He ends up getting a mirror which shows himself. "But how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real"?
8:30 He brings up how this episode probably would've ended up being the series finale before the show ended up getting renewed for a second season. Just think of that, Barney only lasting for one season...*sigh*in a better world.
8:52 Number 3 is "Someone To Love You Forever from "A Welcome Home".
He goes on to talk about how despite being so powerful, it was never used very much. Geez, it's almost like the writers didn't even care, otherwise they would've used it more often. "Quality entertainment". He talks about how it wasn't again until much later when Barney's voice change, and starts powerleveling about the voice actors and his opinions on their different voices for Barney, which again, no one would care about unless they're fans of the show.
10:38 Number 2 is Cody and Barney making up from "Barney's Great Adventure".
Although he actually hates this movie (only to idolize a more popular YouTuber back then who also liked Barney), Cody making up with him after being a bit of antagonist for quite a bit of the movie ended up being really touching to him. He says how the singing is good even if you're not a fan of the film, but I don't find it good at all, is the problem.
12:00 Number 1 is "I Love You".
What do you fucking expect. It's at the end of the every episode, that's the only reason people know this shit is a thing to begin with, so naturally he's going to address why he's still in the consciousness to begin with. A goddamn obvious choice, and a very cringeworthy one at that.
"It's still a good song, though!"
Yeah, I think Rainbow Dash would beg to differ. I WENT THERE, FOLKS. BUT I WON'T GET INTO THAT NOW.
He starts praising about a better world where all humans loved each other, which is of course very unrealistic given the many wars that go on throughout the ages and how a money-making purple dinosaur suit made for toddlers isn't gonna change anyone's opinion.
"He's a fictional character who helped many kids around the world". Yeah, sorry buddy, not gonna cut it.
12:55 "While it's not as popular today, it did leave a HUGE mark on entertainment"
Yeah, a very negative one that showed how people could get away with making poorly-made childrens' shows that destroyed the youth of a nation.

Geez, this was hard to get through.
Just the very thought of someone showing this much dedication towards Barney is autistic enough, even more so to try to think he's gonna convince people through this poorly-edited and enunciated list that hardly has any impact in the grand scheme of things. God, I really hate this world.

Now I gotta think about what to say about Rainbow Dash's nightmares.....
Wow, I have not posted here in a long ass time. Well, I decided to refocus my rage towards the adult autists that still like this shitty show and show just how much they are fucking wrong.

First one we're going to be taking a look at are the Top 9 Theme Songs by a Barneyfag who goes by the name of mario555227.
As you can imagine, he is a gigantic autist who likes watching Barney and will defend it whenever possible. Let's travel into the depths of these faggots' existence.
0:00 Mario's Weekend Reviews title card
*Barney theme song plays*
Ok, nope. we're already in for some shit. We're not even 10 seconds and already I can tell this is gonna be one autistic fucking thing.
It's mostly him just making up his own lyrics to the Barney theme song that describe his own shitty reviews.
0:33 His Barney doll transforms into Barney himself in front of an AC/DC and Shrek poster
You know, if I didn't already think AC/DC was Barneyshit already, NOW I know that it is. Thanks a lot, shitty education system.
1:00 So it starts out with another shitty skit like all those other Channel Awesome videos you see around the internet.
His "dad" informs him he's been out for several months and this results in some shitty lolrandum explosion that kills MBot (this gets brought up later).
His "dad" asks him if he wants to watch the Disney Channel, then it cuts to them watching Buzz Lightyear.
1:51 They thought it was a good show, but the intro kind of took them out of it, which leads them to go into this review.
I really should mention that because these guys are total autists, it's hard to make them out through their speech impediment, which is why I'm probably gonna misunderstand a lot of what happens in this review.
2:22 "It's a me, Mario and we're back for another season"
Oh, I could hardly wait. *sarcasm* He goes on about how theme songs are cool because that's what helps keep them on the air and--goddammit, the very first thing he shows as an example is a clip from the Barney theme song. We get it, you like Barney, you don't need to shove it in our faces. He compares this with shows whose theme songs aren't so great, like Zoey 101 or Johnny Test "but who cares", he's going to prove it with a top 9 list.
3:00 "Why top 9? Because I like to go one step below."
No, it only shows how uncreative and lazy you are because of how less work you have to do into making a shorter list.
3:08 "Let's set some ground rules, you won't hear this theme: *Ducktales theme*"
Oh boy, this guy REALLY likes Nostalgia Critic. I mean, he's really trying so hard to be him that it's not even funny.
3:15 "I'm also gonna make it fair and not include a spot on the list for my silent purple dinosaur"
Ok, good, at least you're not--fucking hell, it turns into the actual thing. He says he came around because he was going around wanting money for his new charity, "Companies ignoring me for a train need to be sold to Saban", and that he has a Kickstarter as well. Trust me, that would've been a perfect candidate for Retsupurae's Kickstarter Nightmares.
3:50 Mario finds it sad that he went from being a 90s megastar to begging on Kickstarter (which he deserves even less, btw, but let's not get into that).
4:00 He asks him to get out since his song isn't on the list, but Barney says he'll be back later on. Ugh, you know I'm starting to realize why people hate skits in review videos, they tend to just be soapboxing for things they like.
4:48 So Number 9 is the Muppet Show. Ok, nothing so bad so far, Muppets are pretty harmless stuff--
5:08 "This guy does [love The Muppets]" Yeah, this is pretty fucking autistic shit. A picture of Barney with a girl and a boy with "Johnny"'s head shopped on, who he's supposed to be I have no idea. 
5:52 "This shorter version is kind of lame, it's like if I shortened my theme song because I didn't know what to do with it. Actually..."
Goddammit, not another fucking skit. PADDING!
6:25 "Actually, that was also kind of lame".
As if you using a modified version of the Barney theme wasn't lame enough.
6:55 "Number 8, the Barney theme so--wait, what? Barney!"
Oh boy, yet another skit to justify his Barney obsession.
7:05 Mario asks Barney if he tampered with the list, and tries to claim he didn't because of his PB&J sandwich. He just tells him to stop pulling wacky shenanigans and he goes away.
7:46 Number 8 is for the Gullah Gullah Island theme song
You know, I really shouldn't be surprised that he's gonna aim for the shit he grew up with when he was younger and not include shit made more for adults, like goddamn Men In Black, but again, that would be assuming he's not a gigantic autist about Barney.
He only shows a bit of it before making a joke that showing the footage would cause him to get his account deleted for "copyright infringement". Yeah, as if that hasn't been made a million times before.
8:04 So he shows the rest of the theme song blurred so that it's hardly comprehensible. Carribeans, an exotic drum beat and a gigantic frog.
8:34 "This is a good song to listen to, if you're in a laid-back type mood"
Yeah, if I wanted to listen to some layback music, I'd listen to Alice in Chains' acoustic EPs, not a theme song to a 1990s' preschool show.
8:51 "Number 7 is Garfield and Friends"
Ok, it doesn't look like too much could go wrong here. Except he makes a gag about it playing the wrong song.
10:00 "It's Garfield! Name one thing that has Garfield's name in it that sucks! *brings up picture of Garfield the Movie"
Ok, to be fair, this came out a good month before the Nostalgia Critic's review of Garfield, but that still seems kind of the low-hanging fruit kind of thing aht one would go for.
10:30 He brings up how the first theme didn't sum up the show that well since it was about friendship", and tries to joke about "who needs friends?"
Ha, it's funny because people who like Barney don't have any friends.
11:24 "Number 6 is Muppets Tonight". He says how he might get hate for preferring it over the actual Muppets song, but honestly, I was kinda expecting Muppet Babies instead, so good for him, I guess?
Ok, I don't really have much to say here, he mostly does a pretty decent summation of the Muppet's history in the late 90s without being too cringeworthy, albeit putting The Lion Sleeps Tonight over the last 30 seconds of the video.

This is where we go into Part 2.
0:20 "Number 5, the Bar..dadgummit, Barney."
Way to be REAL subtle with your Barney obsession.
0:32 Number 5 is the Saved By The Bell theme.
Never really watched this show, so I can't really have an opinion on it. He can't wait to watch it, and then a clip is brought up of one of the main characters stripping off his clothes revealing a tight spandex outfit while he ballet dances, and says it's aged horribly. Oh, and not a poorly-made purple dinosaur show for toddlers? I really shouldn't be questioning the logic of these Barneyfags, but goddammit, they piss me off so much.
1:20 He tries to defend his nostalgia for this show isn't blind since now his nostalgia has glasses. Goddammit.
Not much else to say other than he just wants people to listen to the song itself rather than watching the show for the theme song.
2:42 "Number 4, the Barney theme song...in Italian!"
Godfuckingdammit. Way to make a goddamn loophole for yourself to self-satisfy your own obsession for this piece of shit show.
He points out how the Italians love making original themes for their dubs of shows, which vary in quality (using Power Rangers as an example), and how the background music is catchy.
3:30 That's all he can pretty much say about it because he doesn't speak Italian.
If it wasn't more telling he's trying to force his Barney obsession into everything, then it really shows here.
Most of it is just more skitting with his Barney character about he can translate the theme for him, with not much to go indepth about. CHRIST, this is fucking autistic as fuck.
4:30 Then he decides to try and translate it for himself. Barney disappears because he has to go back to his Kickstarter after boasting he could've translated it faster than Google Translate. Needless to say, he's pretty puzzled and moves onto the next one in the list.
5:16 Number 3 is the Full House theme, only because of his nostalgia because he thinks the show's held up unlike Saved By The Bell.
Again, not much to say here.
6:42 Number 2 is the Dexter's Laboratory theme.
Fuck, it's a show I actually like. And once again, he breaks the rules here. He lists the end credits theme instead of the opening because of how more descriptive it is of the show considering how the opening theme is just an instrumental.
7:00 he compares this to how the Powerpuff Girls ending theme also had a more descriptive ending theme except Dexter's wasn't as annoying. You know, I think a Barney fan trying to describe this theme is resulting in Mako himself rolling in his grave.
7:50 *glasses break* "In case you weren't wondering, those weren't glasses, that was my hearing."
Oh come on, it wasn't even that fucking high.
8:05 "And Number 1 is....."
God fucking dammit, that's like the 4th fucking time you've brought up Barney in this goddamn top 9 list. It's littered almost half of your fucking top 9 list. Way to be a biased piece of shit, Mario. He tells Barney that his song was already on the list but Barney tries to argue that it wasn't in English.
8:29 "The REAL Number 1..."
Archie's Weird Mysteries. I'm not even sure what to say here because of how odd a choice it is. He only spends maybe a minute actually talking about it because of how it fits the show, the style and everything.
9:30 That's the end of the list, but unfortunately, not for the video. He asks Barney to bring MBot back, and that if he does, he'll add his theme song into the end credits of the list. He does, and autism ensues. He gets Riff to try and fix MBot, disappears and fixes the problem. His voice sounds different, but everything's ok because he's fixed!
And the end credits roll with the Barney theme on top of it. Because his Barney obsession just wouldn't be self-fulfilled without it.

Fuck, this was goddamn terrible.

Another artist ruined for me because of this shit, along with Dream Theater, Opeth, Ayreon and Devin Townsend.
I actually saw him back in 2011. It was a good show, with Anvil as an opener. Now I kind of regret it.

You know, it’s pretty clear that Barney is supposed to be this avant-garde thing that I’m not getting so I think it’s best if I try going back to the beginning to see if I can follow this thing easier. Let’s look at the very first Barney video ever created: The Backyard Show.

This being the first Barney thing ever created, there are bound to be oddities that many don’t know about, of course. Let’s check this thing out and see how things have changed. One thing you don’t see very often is that here we start out on an actual family with a father and mother, instead of just a group of kids. That comes later. Anyways, one thing that’s interesting about the very first episode is the amount of parent interaction. The acting is still very terrible, but at least you get some sort of insight into their parents’ lives. Sandy Duncan is the mom who gets complimented for catching a piece of toast and gets compared to being a T-Ball player and the dad has to go to a golf game. To be fair, the amount of parent interaction almost makes this intro kinda bearable. Yeah, cheesy, but still bearable. But then, before he leaves, the kids sing the “I Love You” song to him. Yes, folks, this is the very first recorded instance of the song itself. This is where it comes from. Not from the purple dino itself, but from the group of kids singing it to their father. It’s kind of sad that parents didn’t apparently go over well for the test audience they were getting, apparently. Perhaps if they were kept in and had actual character development, then it might actually be bearable, but then again, that’s assuming Barney even had internal logic. Turns out that Dad had actually forgot it was his own birthday, so the kids and Sandy think (for an extended period) about it and come up with a birthday show for Dad, using the old clothes sitting around the treehouse for them to use as costumes. After an establishing shot that lasts for 10 seconds just to pound that song into our skulls, they arrive at the clubhouse. The sister finds her first costume (read:headpiece) while the brother scares her with a lion mask. Soon after, the rest of the gang arrive (I guess they phoned them or something or used telekinetic powers or something, they don’t specify), they tell them about what they’re doing, they all say their specific talents then perform together a song together. though it’s short. They all try to find things to use for the show, and one of them finds the purple dino himself. She mistakenly puts it out for everyone to see, and summon him by saying words that might summon him, like you know, and we know he’s just gonna come out to solve everything, and what do you know, he comes out, a wind machine blows their hair back and once again, they sing the I Love You song again, as if we weren’t already annoyed by how many times they were playing it as incidental music. Perhaps it’s a metaphor for how much Barney ends up overtaking the parents in terms of caregivers, that everything they care about now turns into Barney. And goddamn, he sounds as deep as fuck, but with no real accent. Gotta wonder how that would’ve played out for the rest of the series. He somehow manages to guess all their talents and they tell him about their problem then suggests he wishes REAL HARD to imagine things work the way they want them to, like an old wagon becoming new, then what do you know, it happens but the other kids notice it as well. Clearly they’re tripping on things I don’t have if they’re able to see things that can only be seen through the power of imagination like that. Once again, another song. After, they find an old umbrella, and decide to use it for the song “Six Little Ducks”. They all pull out umbrellas and Barney “magically” turns them into duck umbrellas. Ok, apart from this kind of bullshit conundrum, I think it’s bad luck to open umbrellas indoors. After, they decide to resort to Halloween costumes, like a bumblebee and Humpty Dumpty. “But bumblebees hurt people!” Barney replies. I always find this a double-edged sword. For one, it disproves the theory that Barney is unsafe for children, but it’s also the stereotypical coddling of the generation we see today. So they do the Bumblebee song and Humpty Dumpty. I always like to point out that with “all the king’s horses”, uh, hooves and eggshells don’t go together very well. The other kid playing Humpty Dumpty climbs up a ladder and gets warned that he might fall. The more twisted side of me wishes fiction reflects reality and he actually DID crack his head…Anyways, they do Hickory Dickory Dock, which Barney turns into a clock with actual animated mice. Not necessarily Disney animation, but I imagine having to animate onto an actual live-action background like Roger Rabbit isn’t necessarily the easiest task easier, so yay for them, I guess? Then they do This Little Piggy (the anthem for foot fetishists everywhere) except they use a picture frame to imagine a blank slate with actual pigs, so it can’t even please the pedophilic side of that crowd. I guess that’s …good. The less pedophiles in this world, the better. Then they actually ask him if he could help put on the show for them……so that whole thing of him showing off his IMAGINATION skills was just PADDING. Jesus Christ, the songs were already bad enough, but having to devote this much time to showing off your imagination skills is just fucking offensive. But then, oh no, mommy’s coming! Hide Barney! Except that Barney has been known to actually talk to adults in the show with no trouble at all. I could say this is part of it being the very first episode, so it’s not set in stone, but it makes you wonder why he couldn’t grow and shrink more than once in the actual show. Might’ve made for some interesting dynamics. But what the fuck am I doing calling this show interesting? Anyways, Sandy talks to them about how the show’s going, and they burst into “If You’re Happy and You Know It”. Jesus, I know you’re just checking up on them, but they’re trying to work on something. Anyways, in that time, she put out balloons, decorations and a stage for them to use, which they could’ve done better with had she not fucking sang with them to begin with. Anyways, they get Barney out of hiding and urges them to get their shit together and get on the stage. He watches them from behind like the pedophile he is, Dad comes back, he sits down and gets them to the actual show. They sing a few nursery rhymes with costumes and routines, nothing particularly remarkable. Soon, Mom comes out with the birthday cake to “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow”, which Barney also ends up singing from behind. And no, this part doesn’t bear any particular relevance. He just ends up getting away with it…because he can. Fuck logic. And then they get Dad to do the Hokey Pokey against his own wishes. Because fuck the system as well. Then the two siblings thank Barney in his doll form for all the help he did…which was just materializing ideas they had themselves. Yeah, he didn’t really do much.

And that was The Backyard Show. Pretty fucking cringeworthy, but it might have been salvageable had it just been a video series and not the jumping point for one the biggest selling childrens’ franchises of all time. Fuck this piece of shit show.

You are just viewing things with the wrong mindset, it's like the zeitgeist has totally escaped you.
