In the modern age, having a product that's only a throw pillow or only a stuffed animal isn't good enough. So why not have both combined in one?

I'm very happy you got a sponsor, congrats
Good job on your first sponsor ^^
Its weirdly comforting to know that pillow pets is still in production despite not having seen one since 2009
I have an extremely rare MLP pillow pet
I need to get one again
Not in stores anyway. But literally everyone I know has at least one
i have a giraffe one that i’ve had since i was a baby
My childhood was filled w those stupid things
God, I remember when I had my first PillowPet. I knew they were very expensive, but my mom made the exception to buy one for me, since I was having a pajama day at school. She got me the Ladybug one, and that's when my obsession of plushies and PillowPets started
I remember watching the tv seeing pillow pets and begging my mom for it and she said "who are you".
I had the butterfly one and a larger unicorn one :,)
I still have mine. It's a red cat with hearts.
I remember a boy at school got me a unicorn one for my birthday
I had the same one I miss her sm
its comforting to know each generation in my family had an animal throw pillow. My uncle having the pillow people, He still has his fighter one till this day. Me and my brother had our pillow pets, and now my little cousins have squash mallows.
That’s awesome!
I was big into squishmallows when they first launched (aka when they were still cheap) and watching them suddenly cost like $50 was shocking
Agreed I remember both my giant ones at Costco for $30 bucks now there going for $60 everywhere and there not even big anymore😭
right 😭😭
blåhaj is completely shaped and a plush and yet they work perfectly as both a pillow or a cuddle pillow. they're perfect
long live the ikea blahaj! they even have little ones now too since i think they're doing an ocean theme or something.
Yess
I love them so much
I have one… he’s my son
As a genderfluid trans person, I have been trying to get to ikea to pick up a blahaj as soon as possible!!!! My family HAS been needing to go recently!!! So I might get my trans supporting shark soon!!!
@@AnEscape2Nowhere yeah they are!My friend bought one today,I bought a DJUNKELSGOG
Blåjah is the height of human achievement
I had one of the nightlight pillow pets! It was a pink ladybug. When I learned that dogs were colorblind, I remember trying to “teach” our family dog what colors were using the pillow pet since it would change colors. I was… not the cleverest of children
Yoooo a fellow nightlight pillow pet enjoyer! I forgot which animal it was tho :(
Ayyy, I've found my people!
I had both regular pillowpets and a nightlight one, I had the rainbow like unicorn, remember it helping me sleep as a kid
hahaha omg thats so cute 😂😂😭💗
I had a nightlight one for PreK… Sadly I don’t remember what it was, but it lit up and I loved it. It’s now lost, either in a dump somewhere or lost in our attic.
As a 16 year old girl and a stuffed animal fanatic, I am proud to say I still have my pillow pet. He was a bee and like, my favorite thing ever as a kid. I now collect squishmallows :)
I’m 24 and still have my pillow pet. I have the unicorn.
I'm 18 and I also still have my bee pillow pet!
I'm also a teen and I have a Lumo Stars spider and two Giant Microbes (the flea and the neuron), as well as a fox I got at school and some self-made stuffs (that one big honey bee
I am 15 and also have my bee pillow pet
I'm 18 and I still have my ladybug pillow pet since 2010.
it's so weird seeing Pillow Pets in this video, they were my childhood lol
i can also definitely relate to having all my stuffed animals piled on me, even in the hot summers. there was barely any room for me on the bed, but i didn't want to "hurt the feelings" of the ones i didn't choose
Toy Story changed us all
Even to this day I still sleep with my stuffed animals ( a big Pusheen cat pillow & rilakkuma)
@@quinn799 fr it's changed entire generations' concept of reality
we were all deeply affected by toy story as kids.
I remember being obsessed with pillow pets but as I got older I was convinced that it was just a fever dream I had. Thank you for validating me in my quest to confirm that I indeed did cry over a pillow ladybug at 5 years old
We had the ladybug, og unicorn and the rainbow unicorn that projected star lights, my younger sister got the fancy rainbow unicorn one of course smh
I had the bee and my friend had the penguin but I’m not sure if it was a pillow pet or the rip-off called hugglebuddies
@@robocatro i had a hello kitty star light one giggle.. i slept with it one day i was like 7 then i woke up with a black eye because the plastic part was pressed up against my face. i wasnt the brightest....
I love the replies, my mom got me a ladybug plush thinking it was the pillow pets and it wasn't but I just told her it was since she put in the effort to get it for me and I appreciated that. I could've sworn we gave it to someone though but I can't remember who,,,
nice pfp
Pillow Pets has a ds game that gives some of the plush designs names and personalities. It's weird how many of these as-seen-on-tv and 2000s toys got ds games (pillow pets, squinkies, xia xia, zhu zhu pets, shining stars, LPS, etc).
omg zhu zhu pets!!! you just unlocked a memory for me
omg squinkies😳
I was so obsessed
Omgg I still have the zhu zhu pets and squinkie games!!!
im your 100 like to your comment : D
squishmallows has a horrible roblox game, vaguely on the same level
i think we need to talk about jellycat plushies, too. they're incredibly soft and perfect for snuggling, and come in a variety of animals, objects, and sizes.
I have the black cat jellycat.
I can confirm, Squishmallows work amazingly as both pillows and very cuddly plushies. I have one of those giant ones that I sleep on as a pillow every night, and I cuddle my other Squishmallows too (I have a collection of them at this point, since I'm one of those people that simply cannot sleep comfortably without a plushie to cuddle)
I love my squishmallow but I’m afraid of smushing it because the foam stuffing feels so smushable. It’s one of the most high quality, actually soft and comfortable animal/object themed pillow but I’m afraid of ruining it by just crushing it in cuddles 😭
I never had a PillowPet but I always remember seeing commercials for them on TV. Congrats on your sponsorship, as well!!
I remember when the pillow pets were huge. I wasn’t into them but my sister had a few of them. The squish-mellows seem to appeal to young kids and young adults today though.
Same it’s until recently I bought my pillow Pets when I was in my late teens ( as a kid I always wanted one but my parents were like “no”)
I hate Squishmallows. Pillow Pets are better and I will die on this hill. As a matter of fact, I'm considering buying a 3rd Pillow Pet at some point.
I like squishmellows, they're just round little buddies!!!!
I love pillow pets❤️
When I tell you I have 6 pillow pets on my bed (although 15 in total) you have to know I am speaking sincerely and in absolute confidence. Squishmallows will never live up to the pillow pets I was given almost every one of my birthdays up until I was 11 (when they stopped showing up in shops near my dad so he stopped getting them), my pillow pets will follow me to my grave, no matter how much my friends may make fun of me for still having them
Agreed. Pillow Pet supremacy!!!
I guess it's just nostalgia speaking for u lolz. I've never been into any kinda pillow animal things, I like plushies more, but my siblings have alotta these squishmallows. They're pretty cute and I love the fabric, but I have an appreciation for both pillow pets and squishmallows xD and I just find pillow people just plain sweet
Pillow Pets were literally my childhood, My siblings and I made a whole entire universe surrounding our Pillow Pets, and every time we played with them it was like another episode of the weirdest fantasy reality tv show 😂
I’ve had the same triceratops pillow pet since I was 8-9, I turn 18 soon and I still have it on my bed to this day and I still love it and it’s where my now dozen plushies still stay on my bed to this day I’m shocked it’s even still stuffed after a decade
I remember one kind of toy that came out around the time that pillow pets were really popular. They were called happy nappers, and they were reversible stuffed animals. They were a stuffed toy one way, and a house shaped pillow the other way. Now there's a new kind of happy napper that's more like a sleeping bag, but I still remember the commercial for the original ones
Yes, I bought my niece one of the new ones!
Oh my! I had one of the happy nappers! I had a small penguin one and the noise it made freaked my out to no end.
@@Boppercat I had the love bug one, and yeah, the noise was so weird
omg i had the dogggg!!!
I had the poodle!
I got it at Menards 10 years ago for like 2 dollars
Honestly I think the fabric texture of squish as well as their round shapes is what gives them such a strong leg up in comparison to pillow pets- I loved my pillow pet as a kid but the fur on them was way too hot and itchy to function as an actual pillow
Yeah, squishmallows are just sensory heaven for most people, the stretchy fabric makes them so soft to sleep on or just play with.
man, i've always loved throw pillow animals. as a kid the only one i had was this limited edition purple ladybug pillow pet. it's been lost for years though. now i have some squishmallows i put on my bed and i really love them. literally just today i found a shark neck pillow that feels almost exactly the same as a squishmallow so i guess i can't say i'm ever done adding to my "collection"
I was bedridden yesterday and binge watched every single one of your videos in a feverish haze, so, yay another video to consume!
One of my friends spent like an entire month trying to get a strawberry cow pillow pet because everyone kept ordering it, he finally got it awhile back and I'm jealous.
dude.
i hope you're feeling better and healthier now ❤️💐
@@froggywithaheart just saw this now, thank you, I am feeling a whole lot better 🤗
Something I would like to add as a pillow pet owner is something I found useful with the velcro straps. That being to make the pillow pet hug the seatbelt, which is useful on long road trips since you can lay against it and stuff
You dont need seat pets after all!
i found a ladybug peewee pillow pet in goodwill for $1, and she’s been my favorite stuffed animal i own
Boy is my oversized Snorlax plush more comfortable than my actual pillow. I've really spent at least 3 nights sleeping with my head on him.
Pillow pet is what I grew up with. I never personally had any but my sister loved them and got many of them. One that I distinctly recall is a pillow pet for the st Louis cardinals, the baseball team.
Pillow stuffies are so, so wonderful. I have MULTIPLE squishmallows and various smaller, huggy plushies for cuddling at night. Anything soft and silky ends up on my bed because I have sensory issues and they help sooth me when I'm trying to sleep.
Same
If you have an ikea in your area, - and haven’t yet - you might enjoy the company of a blåhaj, his surface is not as soft as a squishmallow, but the shape and softness is unmatched.
Disney actually had a line just like squishmallows before squishmallows, called ufufy. They were also scented ☺️
I have a mini Squishable rabbit named Hylia and she is the best little bun friend! She works as a pillow, back rest, or makeshift phone stand. She’s also a bit understuffed so she can fold up or squish down really flat to fit in a backpack. A very versatile rabbit 😊
I remember my ladybug pillow pet- she was one of my favorite toys! Now I have a big cow Squishmallow 😂
Poison mushroom pfp!
I only got the normal sized cow :(
i had two pillow pets and a mini pillow pet growing up, two dogs and a dolphin. i still love cute pillows like that so i ended up getting the napstablook pillow from fangamer !! love this vid
Have 3 dolphins, one mini and a penguin
I hv a panda and a tye dye teddy, and now I want an eevee and Jack Skellington
I was past sleeping with a stuffed animal by the time these came around, but the commercials hold a special place in my heart. I had no idea these guys were still around. Keep up the great work!
It's completely bonkers, but the California Raisins were a HUGE deal back in the day. It was weird as hell.
The noise that came out of me when you mentioned Pillow People. I had one growing up (the one the little kid in the example image is hugging actually) and I remember calling mine Penelope the Pillow Person. I still have her actually even if her fabric is so thin that you can barely make out her features anymore.
I also have a couple of Pillow Pets and currently use a giant knockoff Squishmallow as a pillow so this whole video hits me right in the nostalgia place lol
I had a toy dog that twice my size as a kid. I named her Lady Bird after a dog in a cartoon but I can’t remember what cartoon it was. It had short brown faux fur and it was the that rough, “fiber” feeling that a lot of vintage plush toys have. The body and legs was sewn into a laying down position as if the dog was laying with its lower body twisted (like a lot of big dogs do). It was covered in cigarette burns and smelled like cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana. I miss that plush…
I think Ladybird the dog came from King of the Hill.
King of the Hill!
I'm a bit sad Moosh Moosh never got the popularity they deserved. They're much softer than squishmallows and their tube shape makes for a much better 'pillow' experience, too.
I remember sometime around 1998-1999, I received a toy for Christmas called a “Pillow Pal.” It was made by the Ty company that makes the beanie babies. He was a brown, floppy-eared dog named Elvis and I was obsessed with him. He was a great pillow. I don’t really remember them getting that popular tho.
Pillow pets where a BANGER
I still have my pillow pet that my grandma got me for Christmas. It was the penguin one and still lovely
Mad respect for you actually knowing his name rather than just calling him "Baby Yoda"
This is the first time I've heard of the pillow people im obsessed they're so cute oh my godddd
Polygon donut?
I'm so unbelievably happy when I see you post a new video. They're always so comfy and nostalgic and informative, and your voice is so calming. I have pretty executive dysfunction, and one way I encourage myself to get up and be productive is only listen to your videos if I'm doing housework.
Thanks to you I clean my dishes multiple times a week. Today we hang laundry and cook a meal ☺️ thank you Jelly 🖤🖤
P.S. my squishmallows are enjoying this one too
I've never heard of Pillow People, but wow they are really cute!
I knowwww I love how ugly and cute they are I want one now 😢
I would kill for the bear one; I love its stylized eyes and lil nightgown! Unfortunately a lot of the ones I see on eBay have lost their caps over the years :(
The mention of snuggies instantly awakened a thousand memories of being hooked on cable TV during the late 2000's and early 2010's oh my GOD (aside from the whole premise of pillowpets)
The nite light pet with the projector is a dream lite! I LOVE them! They’re not so much for sleeping on as putting on your bed. It means the projection is actually over your bed rather than on a side table and therefore not actually projecting over you :D it works so well for me I use it EVERT night and I am 18 years old lol
I remember having a bee pillow pet. (& yes I named it buzz from Toy Story) My sisters had this unicorn one & the dolphin. there was also an firefly & ravens one. (since we had that since we were kids) We still have them & sure the squishmellows are cool but after seeing this wow this is really something. But I’m surprised that you made a video of one of my childhood things. I love looking at the past & thank you for making this.
Pillow Pets are still cooler than Squishmallows because most Pillow Pets have soft fur and you can fold/unfold them. I already have 2 Pillow Pets and I'm considering adding a 3rd one to my collection.
@@lovelydolltime8006 Honestly Same I can agree with you & I know I don’t hug mine a lot but I’m currently trying btw
You make the best content! Please keep making niche videos like this it's my life blood
I agree
My grandma got me a pillow pet years ago for my birthday when I was 5 or 6...I miss my grandma so much. Everytime I use it or see it, I think of her.
I liked my PillowPet just fine as a kid but Squishmallows are definitely the evolved improvement. I use one of the big ones as a pillow and I’ve never slept so good lmao
I still prefer Pillow Pets. They were my childhood and I want to get a 3rd one at some point.
i always wanted a squishable growing up but they were really hard to find online/internationally. it's a shame they never took off as much as squishmallows did and never really reached the same scale :(. i preferred the slightly firmer stuffing of the squishables & i liked how diverse they are in the general shapes/sizes without compromising on their Vibes
on the other hand, im glad they're not insane mass collector items now at the least- i looooove my plague doctor squishable so much
Dude same! I remember around the time Squishables first became a thing and i still love them, such a shame they never took off like Squishmallows did
YES I MISS THEM
They have an official website!
i love squishables!! i have the plague doctor one too :D
My teacher has a ginormous moth squishable, and a friend has a dragon squishable on his backpack
My pillow pet went unwashed for a few weeks and because I slept on my stomach at night it induced my first ever asthma attack and sent me to the hospital ❤
My daughter is 17 and still has her unicorn pillow pet she named "Lady" (after Lady Rainacorn from Adventure Time) that got when she was 3! It has many "surgeries" and she swears Lady is going to college with her. She tells me she can't sleep without her.
11:30 those were called dreamlites. And they weren’t comfortable because they obviously weren’t mean to be slept on. They were just night lights for your room.
I remember I got my first squishmallow (Wendy the frog🐸) back in 2017 randomly when I was at a Walgreens and didn’t know it had a cult following till the pandemic. My little brother in law works at Walgreens now so i get first dibs on the squishmallow stock lol. But I prefer to be selective with collection and I mostly get Halloween themed ones 😊 also my engagement ring box is shaped like Wendy
I love your videos and how much effort and care you put into them, I hope you reach 100k soon! you definitely deserve it, much love ☺️💗
I remember getting my first Pillow Pet! It was a unicorn. I was given another unicorn shortly after. I still have them.
Glad to know that I wasn’t the only one who had pillow pets as a kid lol. This video was so nostalgic! It’s also very comforting to know that people had pillow pets worldwide :)
Tbh, my favorite "throw animal" was always Squishables; a lot of them do have plastic eyes and noses, but ever since i was little i loved them, only ever had two though :'D i honestly prefer the designs and the fluffiness over Squishmallows, i never even really liked Squishmallows even though i absolutely love stuffed animals
Yeah squishmallows don't really have a good texture to their squish
I actually still own my nightlight pillow pet from when I was younger 😭❤
I think I was given a pillow person (or a knock off) around 1994 after my surgery(I was 4yrs) you have unlocked an old memory.
I bought my unicorn pillow pet in my 20s, I was feeling lonely and nostalgic and it was an impulse. Nora the unicorn now sits on my bed and usally gets layed on by my doggo.
there was actually something that came before Squish called Happy Nappers (not the sleeping bags, the original ones) which was a pillow that became a stuffed animal when you took them out of their home i feel like i was the only person in the world who actually had one since you can never find them anymore not even in nostalgia/kidcore (i unfortunately dont own mine anymore i had the dog) so hopefully these can resurface and become popular again through nostalgia/kidcore
i also have the wild fox pillow pet i got 6 years after losing my snuggly puppy pillow pet i literally named Snuggles and i definitely plan on getting him back when i can
Congrats on the video and sponsorship! keep at it! love all the vids,
I remember my grandma used to have a ladybug pillow pet. My sister said we used to have a bee pillow pet but I only remembered the ladybug. Sadly I don't know where the ladybug pillow pet is at, I hope I can find it one day.
my first birthday was around when pillow pets took off, (being born in late 2009) so i had literally ALL the pillow pets. i loved them. im not really sure what happened to all of them, but i have one left thats bully the bulldog!! 😂
Even as someone born in 2007 I had one of the Pillow People. My mom kept it from when she was a child. It was my favorite thing to fall asleep with in the car lol
I had 2 Pillow Pets as a kid, and one still lives in my closet, in fact, though he was,…well loved. It was the bumblebee one I creatively dubbed “Bee.” The second was a nightlight unicorn. It was, *very* uncomfortable to hug and lie on but I did it anyway because I was a dumb child. It broke pretty quickly though.
fun fact: my school gave out lady bug pillow pets the the entire elementary and middle school group It was so exciting
I had the bumblebee pillow pet and the butterfly dreamlite. I was 4 when my mom surprised me with the dreamlite. She brought it to my grandmother's house when she came to pick me up after work.
As an arctophile (collector and lover of teddy bears ) I love your video background 🥰
The thumbnail feels like an absolute call out. I went from pillow pets to squishmallows
I really hope this channel continues to grow. Keep up the great work!
I have like 50 stuffed animals that cover my bedroom, so I sleep in my parents' bedroom instead.
Awesome video as always! It is truly evident how much time you take to make your videos with all the thorough research you do on genuinely interesting topics and the well developed script. I think you bring to light to timelines in great detail every time!!
I must say, I had a Spongebob pillow pet for a long time and it was THE MOST comfortable pillow I owned!!! As an avid Spongebob fan of 17+ years, I still use it till this day. It's adorable and still fluffy and comfortable!
I just gotta say, I am so happy every time you post. It is no surprise at all that you have popped off in views and I am so proud to be one of your first 50k subscribers because no doubt you're gonna be gaining like crazy over the next few months. Keep up the great work Dream Jelly!
I remember seeing ads for pillow pets back in the days. Interesting to see what came before and what has been since then.
I love those long video essay and passionate, intertaining yet informative ramble type of videos. I happily suscribed. Very cute
This made me dearly miss my pillow pet. Thanks for the memories!
my bed is filled with over 100 squishmallows and more than half of them end up on the floor in the morning. i live m’y ultimate omega life in my nest of squish 😌
I had a dolphin pillow pet when I was a kid that I loved and used until it was absolutely destroyed! As an adult, I haven't gotten into squishmallows at all (I think their designs are a little too minimalist for me), but I do have a couple of official sleeping pokemon plushies that work great as pillows! I have a big sleeping Pikachu thats more like a traditional pillow, and a smaller sleeping yamper thats really easy to hold. I think it's interesting to see when brands choose to collab directly with throw animal companies, and when they decide to try and make their own version of the product and see how successful it is.
Growing up I wanted a pillow pet so bad but my family was pretty poor at the time so I didn’t get one for a while, but I finally got a ladybug pillow pet that I loved so much. However many years later when I moved out, my mom got me a strawberry cow pillow pet and I’ve slept with it almost every night since. Probably my most cherished item
When I was a kid, I remember seeing those Pillow pet ads and cockily said "I need 2 hugs to know this is the one". My family knew I loved unicorns and really wanted a pillow pet so when it was Christmas, I ended up getting two, one from two different relatives. I still use some big ones I found at Aldi on my couch bed to this day.
But I had no idea Squishmellows were so popular. My first exposure to them was when my mom and I wandered around an outside mall for a while and found a huge crate full of them at a cheap store. It was Christmas time and we managed to find one called "Ferik" and my mom loved him. Sadly, couldn't find one I liked that wasn't the only Ferik in the store. This was just a few months ago.
I still have my ladybug pillow pet, as well as a peewee version of her as well. I forget about them a lot at the top of my closet, but this video reminded me about them and brought me back to my childhood. I love your videos because they talk a lot about the history of interesting subjects that always intrigue me, even if I don't realize it. Keep up the good work!
I never had a pillow pet because they were too expensive for my parents (as low income) but my dad got me a knock pig pillow pet and I was like 4/5 years old and I didn’t know the difference lol, but I remember loving a bee “pillow pet” until I grew out of it at age 12-ish
this is a great analysis of stuffed animal/pillow hybrids over the last couple decades. super interesting watch!
I still have that small ladybug pillow pet.
I don't care what anyone says, i'm keeping that thing for ages.
I love squishmallows but recently I'm craving plushies with more details :( I love how soft they are but I dislike that most have the same face and similar form. I'd also love to have more freedom of choice as whenever I look for plushies I can't find something other than squishies 😞
I’ve had the same Pillow Pet Night Light (purple butterfly) since 2013. There’s battery acid on the inside and the button doesn’t click anymore, so you have to press it just the right way to turn it on. Still works just fine, lol. Needs batteries every once in a while, but that’s normal, and when there’s new batteries inside it’s pretty blinding.
Also, I own about four Squishmallows, but I can see why people would like them and why they’re so popular. I mean, they’re cute, marshmallow-shaped animal plushies with smiley faces on them. What’s not to like?
Edit: WAIT THATS WHAT THE VELCROS FOR TO MAKE IT INTO A PET🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
i have two pillow pets that was gifted to me when i was 7 years old,seeing it now after many years gives me nostalgia..
I can appreciate the idea of getting kids used to common nighttime noises that may be scary. Unfortunately, the rattling window pillow-person looks like it crawled out of a nightmare where you’re being stalked, and the creaking door pillow-person looks like the monster that’s hiding behind your door.
I have a pillow pet the ladybug one found him in a thrift store and hes actually a pretty nice pillow 👍
this channel brings me so much joy!!
i love pillow pets. i still have mine from when i was young, i have a newer one of the same kind from a thrift store, and recently i got a dolphin one from the thrift store. everytime i see them i try to pick them up, i love them so much
I remember I had a pastel unicorn pillow pet BUT it had a hard plastic light projector on its back to project stars onto the ceiling……so I couldn’t even use it as a pillow but I remember I thought it was really cool though 😎
Yay new Dream Jelly video!!
I can vi-vi-dly remember the world of Pillow pets. My sister owned the ladybird and my friend has a full collection. He was the coolest boy in town for owning so many, at least to me.
I must add, I'm from 2005. CZcams tells me the Dutch commercials for Pillow Pets are from 2012 and 2014, the dreamlites version, respectively. We must have been obsessed with them from around 2012 when they became apperently a hype in the Netherlands for children my age. I can clearly remember we were too old for the dreamlites (we were 9????) so we must have loved them in 2012 but lost interest in 2014
7 seems like a reasonable time to be interested in this sort of thing, although maybe a bit young? It just amazes me that it took 2 full years before these things became a hype in the Netherlands.
Another "throw animal" I recommend are Meowchis by Tasty Peach Studios! They're cats combined with mochis, and are small bean-shaped pillows. Though firmly stuffed, I think they make great sleep companions.
It's a Pillow!
It's a Pet!
It's a *Huge Regret*
~Disgruntled Parent
First thing I ever spent my own money on was a small pillow pet and a pack of gum. Still have it to this day 😌
What kind?
@@quinn799 it's a cow
My favorite is the squishmallow laying hug-mes so it's SO comfortable to sleep with, lay on top of, travel with- 10/10 love my archie guy
Grogu: slay.
10/10 video. Thank you.
