A Deep Dive into U.B. Funkeys

hey so this video is INSANE and i love it, im a fucking nerd and LOVE UB FUNKEYS but there are a few things you got wrong that i wanna correct!!!! 1. you said hidden realm was the last zone added to wrap up the lore, it was actually paradox green 2. you said that there was only gonna be one more adventure pack when there was going to be at least two, one for the dreamstates figures and one for the hidden realm figures 3. sadly i do not believe the bones skateboard made it past concept art 4. dot had 2000 made, not 700 5. in the second tajeo ebay listing, you mention that there were 3 other speed racer figures, not shown at any toy fair, the thug figure and the royalton figure are speed racer figures, and were shown at the new york toy fair 2008 i believe? but the blue teddy bear is a rare maul from paradox green. the common and rare figures for paradox green were never released. 6. you mention that the trunk and loot was added with the chat funkeys in the dream states update, this is false, it was added between hidden realm and paradox green 7. you mention familiars dont have a use in game, they do! they allow you to enter a funkeys zone and game room without owning that funkey. this was especially useful for the people who didnt get dot. Basically its a portal jammer you can use more than once but only on a specific zone and gameroom. 8. you said tajeo and tach have inaccessible gamerooms, this is false, tach has no game room, but speed racer has an unreleased variant that had a different minigame in his gameroom 9. you say dali's animation is broken, it is not! dali is a flower that burrows underground, and this animation triggers even as an npc 10. presumably they got pretty close to dc releasing, as there was an early trailer used to advertise it alongside hidden realm, then it got pushed back to paradox green, and then they were forced to scrap it all together, as they only had time to finish up paradox green and put it out as one final thank you to the fans. (this is also why there are no physical common or rare figures of paradox green funkeys) 11. there is more unused and beta footage lying around, jeff, bless his heart, shared confidential reference sheets for unreleased funkeys, and on the old ub funkeys website (only accessible via the wayback machine) has videos advertising minigames that use beta footage of said games. 12. you say adults should not try this game, this is incorrect. im sorry im like this.

This game taught me how to read, and how to get robbed.

UB Funkeys will always have a special place in my heart, it is the combination of all of the inmaculate aesthetics of the 2000's, thank you for posting this video!!!

My partner is a huge collector of merch from the 2008 speed racer movie and they thought they collected everything related from the movie. That was until I found the speed racer ubfunky. I’m so proud that I found something they didn’t know existed :)

I feel like so many adults would play this today. I'm 20 years olds and I remember staring at the demo disk I got from Wendy's for probably literal hours looking at the characters on it and having nowhere to actually insert the disk. I feel like I missed out. It was certainly something I was interested in, just not something I was able to ever get around to. Hopefully the company who made these realizes that people my age are still playing video games more than ever.

I loved these little fuckers. We weren’t so well off when I was a kid so my brother and I each had one only one or two little fellas a piece. I really enjoyed exploring the little worlds and doing that early 2000s virtual interior design.

my experience with this game as a kid outside of the US/Europe was heartwrenching because I loved it so much and kept seeing youtube videos about update content that didnt release on my region and kept endlessly searching for it on my game and ultimately losing hope

as a kid i would lick my funkys, changing it into various funkys i didnt own. idk why it works but i would do it again and again until my big funky was out of commission. was fun

R.I.P the funkeys bjiru sold for ps3 money We thank you all for your sacrifices

"Do you recognize this guy?" No but bjiru video so uhrm i am staying

Oh my GOD. You just reignited two core memories for me. The Funkies and Cube World. I LOVED both of those toys and am now going to hunt them down

I have some of these guys sitting in my closet. I never had the heart to get rid of them bc I love their design so much, but I barely even played with them. I very vaguely remember even playing with these, but I had such little access to the family computer and, being a kid, I never could remember my passwords and my parents were too busy to check their emails for the reset code. But this video has sparked me to go and uncover these relics of the early 2000s

bjiru just wanted to say thanks because you recommended izzzyzzz’s channel in one of your previous videos and her videos are awesome too. ty for covering our cozy 2000s internet nostalgia!

This video made me buy some Funkeys, love the art direction of these little guys

Funkeys walked so Skylanders, Lego Dimensions, Amiibo could run. I only have 1 of my former vast collection left: a red Rastro

i feel like UB Funkeys shaped my entire personality.

i still remember walking into a store as a kid and seeing an ultra rare blue panda funkey... what a rush

This was the first video I've watched from you, where I have no previous knowledge about the topic. I assume U.B Funkeys never reached my country. But it made it even more enjoyable, as I am used to your top tier video standards (which this was of course no exception), but actually learning about a whole new topic along with it was so much fun! Great stuff as always! <3

You made an entire video about U.B. Funkeys? on my watch list. It's funny how I watched the one on the virtual worlds while refactoring FunkeySelectorGUI.

DUDE MY BROTHER LOVED THESE LITTLE GUYS!!! He had basically everyone’s common variants and the rare packs containing the pineapple king and Dr. Lox. weirdly enough he doesn’t have the main port anymore though. I think i still have an entire big box of them somewhere too!
