I gotta give this kid props for practicing the yo-yo rather than spending hours in front of a video game. My favorite part of the video is the segment that starts around 2:34.

Mama C — LOL! I so did not notice that, but maybe it was an intentional mistake —- those brothers of mine certainly loved to bother me when I was little …
Luckily I love my brothers (well, all but one of them) even if they did give me a hard time when I was little.
Well spice girl. If a certain family says it all the time and he’s part of that certain family. I don’t think it will cost him.
Yeah. Its working now, Don. They probably were doing maintenance when I was trying to view.
I still don’t like a yo-yo, but I do like the song. LOL
Wait a minute I think I heard that phrase before, and it will probably cost you for using it.
The kid, well, he’s going onto Vegas baby.
it works now…. youtube must have been going thru maintence when i tried.
tommy smothers still rules. u know who he is right???
and oh, i did a fun tag at my blog (10 things i remember growing up) you should do it. it would be fun to see what you remember. i’m not tagging you,but you should do it anyways.
A very talented young man for sure..but this is is not such a new idea. How many of us bought the Coke yo-yo’s back in the 60′s? I only ever got the cheapo one that fell apart. Longed to get one of the “professional” yo-yo, but my parents thought it was a huge waste of money, since the extent of my tricks was to hit myself in the head.
Shameless Don, the use of the title “just like a yo-yo”, you really like to get us fans going. I have the very CD in my car at the moment with your Dad’s delightful unbroken voice as clear as a bell. My daughter still insists it’s a girl….
Hey, Robin –
Was it intentional, or merely a Freudian slip to type bothers instead of brothers???!!
Hahahahahahaha! Sorry, but that struck me as incredibly funny!
My bother’s used to love to torture me with their yo yo tricks. They would “walk the dog” across my feet, or through my Barbie fashion shows; and the would clonk me on the back of the head with “around the world”
One day, I took all of their prized yo yo’s and tied all the strings together into a big ole knot. I remember giggling hysterically ~ until I got in trouble for messing with the older kids stuff …. then I had to untangle the whole mess myself.
Luckily they got over their love of torture by yo-yo pretty fast.
Thanks for bringing back that memory! I know what my brother’s are all getting for Christmas this year —- Yo – yo’s!
Oh, man! Sooo many thoughts went through my head as I watched that:
1) Love the song (and yes, I HAD heard that one before… don’t forget.. I have a 14-year-old son!
2) He’s got a really cool room
3) Holy guacamole! This kid’s AMAZING!
4) I wonder if the tongue action helps him to concentrate on his yo-yo moves
5) I also wonder how many times he’s clocked himself in the head/arms/neck/face/legs/crotch with those things!
6) Did I mention that this kid is AMAZING!
7) What are all those little boxes on his bookcase?
9) MAN! He’s got a LOT of yo-yo’s!
10) Well, duh.. of course he does!
11) Yep… that part after 2:34 is pretty incredible!
12) Awesome video!
There are my comments… in stream-of-consciousness style!
Funny… the video works on my computer…
Here’s the link
The video was taken down…. can you tell us what part was your favorite?
My favorite yo-yo man was/is Tommy Smothers.
At first, I thought you were going to talk about your uncles and father’s old song. LOL I love that song.
Don. For some reason, I can’t get the video to play. I’m getting the message, “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.”
Anyway. I never did like playing with a yo-yo. I always have a problem doing treats with the thing.
