Mailbag: Polkaman!

I love Polkamon... I used to listen to that over and over!

That's a lot of YuGiOh.

I never played Yu-Gi-Oh irl, but I recognize all those cards from the GBA games lol

Well, that's worth several thousand dollars. Congrats.

"This is the whitest I'll ever be" LOL

"Yee haw!"

holy shit i think i had that exact pokemon handbook. no idea what happened to it. anyway, shoutouts to raichu

O-Town?! The memories! I danced with my high school crush to an O-Town song.

This was my childhood condensed into a single mailbag. Pokemon Film & 40's ???

Ben has Luke Perry in the 90s level sideburns.

The crash zoom right as Ben reads the track title is just one of those *chef's kiss* serendipitous moments.

As another huge Weird Al fan, it fills me with joy to see someone discover Polkamon for the first time.

I don't know if all those Yugioh cards will lead to a Yugioh battle video series on here, but if it does I'll be all for that.

Did Ben mention the name of the SW Prequels podcast he was listening to?

That's an incredible box. Josh absolutely coming through. Ben's multiple faces of sheer joy throughout are the best.

Pokemon 2000 is the best pokemon movie and most of that is due to how bomb the music is.

Finding myself saying "Yoooo" in unison like the millennial cliche that I am.

I also thought of a random pokemon at Jan's question and then said Muk at the exact same time that Ben did. I guess I'm a wizard.

Ben's expression upon learning about the Polkamon made me smile so hard.

Those VHS's better be a new Film & 40's marathon.

Pokemon 2000 is the best pokemon movie.

These is a lot of frames

I'm partially, yet not entirely, ashamed by the fact that I recognised the ep 1 soundtrack by the back of the jewel case as Ben was holding it up.

Damn, I totally had (still have?) a yugioh card binder just like that

A video that's just Jan and Ben deck building and then dueling would be lit af.

Film & 40s for the Pokemon movies?????????? Maybe??????????

Do more Demo Derby's please.

I want to see Ben and Jan have card game battles

Ben now I also want to watch the first Pokemon movie again and cry

Yes please.

draft the deck between the two of you and then a big yu-gi-oh game for all the cards. would be a good 2 videos. ez.

This mailbag is the best that ever was. The polkamon was worth the cost of this video not being uploaded to YouTube.

Both good and bad memories when I see those cards. Bad memories because I was the only one i knew that actually knew the rules to the card game.

Good memories because I was a tyrant and we played for keeps, so I got a lot of cards.

this is the most "only 90s kids would remember this" video on the site everytime Ben mentions crying to the first movie i'm like yep me too fam

Every day Ben tries just a little less, and I love him just a little more

Edit: DUDUDUDUDUDUDU

Not a single pot of greed?

What Star Wars Prequels Podcast is Ben talking about.

That's a cool box.

Half nostalgia, half secondhand embarrassment. This video is extremely affecting

Hey, I had that City of Villains poster too. I loved those games.

Physically has the CD. Opens YouTube for Weird Al video. Millennials!!

Watching Ben geek out was an absolute joy.

New Demo Derby, yes, thank you. It's been far too long.

Lady Leg Lame Lamp! I haven't seen that thing since Sausolito.

all goty content must be yugioh this year. I'm sorry.

I've seen enough Leprachaun movies to know what happens when you steal a leprechaun's pot of Yugioh/Pokemon cards. Be safe, Ben and Jan.

Pokémon the Movie 2000 > Pokémon the Movie

Someone had better make a gif of Ben dancing.

@benpack What is the star wars prequel podcast that you mentioned?

Josh should be arrested for sending you a nuclear bomb of nostalgia. Some deck building and battling bens lens would be so fun. PIKACHU LEGAL.
