A promo video for the Video Toaster 4000 guest staring Wil Wheaton, Penn Jillette, and Tony Hawk from 1994. Pretty funny when compared to today’s software like iMovie and Final Cut Pro.
Make delicious “toast-on-the-go” with this amazing USB Toaster? Can it be? Check out my other vids: www.youtube.com Connect with my Facebook app: apps.facebook.com

@aardfrith No it don’t make toast, but I can tell your brain is TOASTED!!!
Yeahhh MMAANNN, Tony HAWK and Videotoaster 4000 AAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!!
Does it make toast?
@TVperson1 Actually the most used formats ware Betacam and digital Betacam (digibeta), before that there was u-matic, which looked horrible. S-VHS and Hi8 were not used in professional environments.
IT’S OVER 300
*golf clap*
That’s awesome. Makes me wish that my A1000 could do more than look pretty on the shelf.
Interesting, but I’d imagine it would have been a waste considering that the most affordable pro video tape of that time was SVHS and Hi8, all the rendering quality would have been lost. I’d imagine after the Amiga died you’d have had buy an SGI machine or a cheaper NT machine.
Who is the VO?
I heard this guy doing the narration for an older History Channel special the other night.
Speaking of Toaster work, I think I know of at least one non-Topeka TV news open produced on a Video Toaster (KATC, 1995 — look for Various TV newscast opens and promos part 76) — the flying text reminds me of something from the first Toaster demo (specifically a WIBW open we have no other video of).
I’m sold. Where can I order this from?
I was lucky to get to use one of these systems for a couple of years in middle and high school… The amiga got abused and by about 1997 it clunked out because of someone turning it off and on like a light switch and the harddrive died. But for the time it was amazing. I say i’m lucky to have gotten to use the older systems because it gave me an awesome understanding of editing at an early age with tape based systems and now i look at final cut like a big tape array in my head. weird.
More Kiki. More Kiki.
I think that I had a 90-gasm so strong, that it made my nintendo 64 work again…
Hmmm pretty cool video. This came out when I was 8 : D
FONTS.
2:06 PENN IS SO YOUNG.
Oh my… Classic 90s Video Editing, I miss it so much…
“I mean let’s face it. The networks suck.” -Tony Hawk, 1994.
@Paperclown I do not have a video toaster or an Amiga. I was just saying, as I 13 year old, I realize how cool this was, cause this was the big bang for home computing animation, the video toaster was.
@Navstar100: I ordered an Amiga 1200. After watching about the Toaster 4000, will I be able to create videos just like the networks? Amiga 4000′s are too expensive.
you may not need a big table fram vcr but you need lots of hard drive space
I honestly, love the Video Toaster, for the Amiga. I am only 13 and I realize how for most people, who are watching it for Nostalgia reasons, or here to put some facts about it, I realize how cool this was, like someone said this was like the Model T or computer editing actually, you’re probably gonna correct me since I am a 13 year old but actually this is the Model T for home computer animation. Then next in line was probably Macintosh/Apple then Windows.
@Navstar100 This thing started it all. NLE’s have a come a long way, but the Video Toaster was like the Model T of computer editing. Putting it in the hands of enough people to show what it could do and ingniting the imagination of all of us who could just not quite afford it.
Still cant be beat in any areas and pcs aka x86 still use that 640k barrier. 640k chunks at a time.
Final cut /adobe suck compared to the toaster/amiga The Amiga is still ahead
@wilwheaton hah, man, you said it not me. But hell, how many of us get to look back at our childhoods and don’t think about what a damn idiot they were.
I dunno, for what it’s worth, all the other adds from the era sucked ass too.
… Unless you are penn jillette, then you never look like a complete ass…. maybe that’s because he sets out to look like a complete ass. What can you say about a guy that calls his show bullshit?
this is what tim and eric need
@Frdgamer me who is missing the function to rate comments
who else is disappointed that its not real
But…… Will it blend?
IS THIS THING REAL??? I TOUGHT IT WAS WHEN IT COMES TO THE PART ”GOTCHA” I STILL THINK THE PRODUCT IS REAL. -___-

“Laptop computer not included” LMFAO
This would finish my home office.
My CPU can do that.
Even fries Meats!
i’ve got the same laptop, its a toshiba Satellite A100
My computer has a built-in toaster. It works like the DVD drive.
lol potato? 0:38
But will it blend!
@1LonePuma wouldnt it catch on fire?
Woaw its amazing all the things you can do with a pc at these days! Like the sex thing via USB!
the song is the shit
Man thats great!!
New Cars like BMW x-6 had an USB port!!
Make toast in just 20 minutes and for wholewheat toast, 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. What a great deal…I think?! Might consider using a magnifying glass and the sun the time may be shorter!
I lol’d at the whisk set.
i though you were gonn splice a usb cable onto the power cord of the touaster or make a usb to ac adapter. I feel gyped man.
if they can make usb popcorn, the can do this
Someone 50+ has too much time no his hand.
i would pay 1000 dollars for it…
I actually wanted one
