Lousy volume watching this on my phone, so I didn’t hear most voices well. “Wonder why the actress playing the Mom is imitating Sandy Duncan?” I asked myself. “She’s not doing a bad job.” Then came the credits: she WAS Sandy Duncan, who it turns out was in three of these and would have been about 42 then.
Not just your phone, the video seems a little quiet on my laptop as well. Not sure if something happened during recording or editing, or if I’m just deaf as hell…
Yessir, you two are watching the original Barney. I know this because I looked up what the original Barney looked like one day and this is what came up. He may have soulless black eyes, but you must admit that he also has one gloriously rich baritone.
Oh god you found one of THESE! “Barney and the Backyard Gang” predated “Barney and Friends.” They originally centered around Sandy Duncan and her family. These were a direct to video series originally that convinced PBS to pick it up and create “Barney and Friends.” Yes, you can thank this series for most of the world knowing and loathing Barney. Amy and Michael, Sandy Duncan’s children, continued to the new show. Amy left after a few years but Michael was with the series until he was way too old for that shit. He looked like he was middle school age in his later appearances.
A few days ago, two people I know went to rent a video tape, a guy and a girl. I will be keeping these two people anonymous…for reasons….SPOOKY REASONS! So the guy noticed that Barney was drawn with HYPER REALISTIC EYES, the guy thought it was a mistake so he said “Oh well, at least they tried!” When they put the tape in the VCR, it was blood everywhere, just then a person in a barney suit came into the room and cut the guy’s head off! As the head was on the ground it said “You’ve killed me, wow just awful” Barney walked over to the girl, took his mask off, and it was a horrifying sight…..it was Eddie. He said to the girl in a shrill tone “I was was cooler than Mitch!” when he tried to stab her, he accidentally tripped over the coffee table and stabbed himself. The decapitated head of the dead guy finally said “awkward.”
Barney; the thing everyone hates but will never go away. I have seen Barney from this this particular incarnation all the way to the more recent stuff which actually makes this look good. Insane!
Phelous popping open bottles by hand; a manly man
12;54 best reaction ever!
23;30 she did leave suddenly and inexplicably. But that’s probably because she’s the one who seems more comfortable being the jerk characters so make of that what you will
A yes little bunny foo-foo, probably the most messed up children’s nursery rhyme to date, and that’s even taking into account ring around the rosy.
Strangely enough, that dad never really showed up on the show.
To both of you guys, this was hilarious and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next. Also have either of you heard of this?
This has to be a pilot or something, with everything being slightly off. I mean, they just found Barney, after all. And they keep repeating the final song.
Say, Phelan, I was watching some of my favorites from your old stuff and is there a chance you’ll do some of the other Athor movies? Or did you decide on a no troll — no watch policy for that series?
You wanna know who Barney was? He was a filthy child murderer, who killed at least 20 kids in the neighborhood… kids we all knew. A bunch of us parents got together and tracked him down. We found him in old abandoned garage, where he used to take his kids. We took gasoline and poured it all around the place and made a trail of it out the door. We lit the whole thing up and watched it burn. He’s dead now. He’s dead because Mommy killed him. I even took his teeth.
Sometimes that dinosaur, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a dinosaur, he’s got… lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eye. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah… then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin’ and the garage floor turns red.
I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Barney the Dinosaur, I am all dinosaurs as I am no dinosaur and therefore I am a God.

After watching many multiple hours of you guys just….watching things unscripted, it’s safe to say I never EVER get tired of it. Also I kind of realized as I sat on the couch watching this with my wife that we had an odd parallel going on; girl in a dark shirt with flashy socks and a guy wearing an ’87 TMNT shirt. Yeah, that got a little trippy. We need to hang, dude.
This was great! You two can make anything funny. I’d love to see more stuff like this. Next time though, maybe make what you’re watching fullscreen and just have the box with you two in the corner. I felt like there was too much negative space. Also, the volume was a little low.
These are really minor complaints though. Please make more, this was kickass and a great way to end my weekend.
I wasn’t aware that there was an even creepier version of Barney.
I was one of those little kids who liked Barney. Right up until I was about 8 in fact. According to my mom, when the I Love You, You Love Me song came on, everyone in the house had to gather together to do the great big hug. Then for some reason when I was 13 I was often talking about wanting to kill Barney, according to a couple friends. Not sure why I suddenly decided to do that at that age.
I found the audio quite low for this one. Had to crank up the volume on my laptop to near max level. Was there a sound editing issue?
OMG please do more Barney and the Backyard Gang! The second episode makes no sense because with the exception of Amy and Michael none of their other friends has even meet him yet. And this one you just watched was the first one. The camping episode is still to this day a funny watch because Adam (Asian Kid) apparently the actor who played him was too sick to work so he got replaced by a carbon copy know-it-all stereotype called Jeffery and it is glorious. He was never seen again to my knowledge.
And people back then thoght that kids would have been scared by certain scenes in Jurassic Park… whay about this damn pedo-saurus instead? WHAT ABOUT IT?!
I didn’t even know Barney existed until I was I highschool, & I’m a few months older than Phelan. My toddler years had “Wee Sing Together,” & god help me, I can still remember their voices & every goddamn song.
Yeah…We sang that Baby Bumblebee song when I was a kid…Those weren’t the lyrics. They were more morbid & animal abusey.

“This dinosaur is the wrong colour, he’s completely useless now HEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

I’m showing my age.

P.S. If you want to do some more of these, that would be glorious, and they’re readily available on YouTube.
Hmmm… now we know how Selena Gomez got famous. She teamed up with Barney to help him steal souls! O.O

Mwahahaha! Enjoy! 🙂
HOLY FUKING SHIT I CAN REMEMBER WATCHING THIS. for som reason my parents had these old VHS copies from these days of Barney, this is realy weird
Well, looks like we found something to report to the SCP Foundation…
I loved Barney as a kid, and I’ve definitely seen this before, but I don’t remember Barney looking like a fucking zombie.
This has to be a pilot or something, with everything being slightly off. I mean, they just found Barney, after all. And they keep repeating the final song.
I just noticed. You cheated. You made it creepier by doubling the audio, coming both from when you originally watched it and from version you ripped.
Turns out, you’re the demons!
And then Phelan was a zombie.
