Videos Update 2k21

Visit the Videos Section | …Or See What’s New On Our YouTube

Time for an update to the video archive! Much of this has been brought to you by the research and preservation work of Foulowe59 – in fact, most of it is his work, as you will see if you check the changelog. As usual I’ve done a lot of video retrieval and compiled everything to add to the site, but much of what you see here wouldn’t be a part of the update if it weren’t for his efforts! You can find even more from him – different takes and runtimes of commercials, things that are beyond the scope of our archive for the moment – on his Internet Archive and YouTube accounts.

Here are some of my favorite additions:

The long-lost NickToons ads showing weird, beefed-up versions of the Stars sets!

Chester’s continued attempts to steal Cheetos from BIONICLEs

The Band, Freed
