Trivia / Ryan ToysReview

• Adored by the Network: A majority of Lets Plays in Ryan's World channels feature Roblox, to the point he has a licensed game hosted on there.
• Amateur Cast: A majority of the voice actors have had no credited roles prior to being casted. Bradley William Smith and Julia Stockton, who voice Combo Panda and Gus the Gator respectively, are the only ones with notable past acting talents.
• Acting for Two: All of the characters' voice actors voice more than one character. For example, Bradley Willaim Smith voices Combo, but also voices Packrat, and some others.
• Cash-Cow Franchise: Thanks to being one of the most viewed channels, it's earning mountains of money every year. To be more specific, Ryan was the 8th top paid YouTuber in 2017. This even transformed the channel and its Spin Offs from some humble amateur videos to a professional web series, proven by The Studio Space. He can be considered the PewDiePie of Toys.
  • And yes, he has The Merch, a Mobile Phone Game, and even a Nickelodeon TV show. Now, even a Mascot Racer game on video game consoles, and a balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
• Colbert Bump: Ryan's reviews can influence toy sales. Proof.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Gus the Gator and Peck the Penguin are currently voiced by women.
• Follow the Leader: ToysReview was inspired by several other toy unboxing channels that preceded and are run by kids, such as Evantube and Hulyan Maya. He ended being highly more successful for them.
  • Thanks to its success, it gave a rise to even MORE toy review channels featuring kids. Some of those kinds of channels that predated Ryan adopted a style similar to his.

Ryan's Mystery Playdate

• Adored by the Network: The series has been a massive hit on Nick Jr. as soon as it premiered, gaining ratings as high as those of PAW Patrol. It also airs on normal Nickelodeon timeslots as well, being the first series since Rugrats to air on both Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon.
  • The ratings have been so high that the series was renewed for a second season five days after it premiered.
• Dueling Shows: With Blue's Clues & You!, another show where a character uses clues to solve mysteries. Possibly due to how popular Ryan is with the target audience of the Nick Jr. block, this show reigned surpreme, with higher ratings than Blue's Clues and You.
• Promoted Fanboy: Ryan had previously reviewed toys based on several Nick Jr. shows (most notably PAW Patrol) before getting his own show on the network.
• Screwed by the Network: In January 2020, reruns of the show were axed on the main Nickelodeon channel to make room for PAW Patrol, Blue's Clues & You! and the then-recently Uncancelled Bubble Guppies. The show now only airs when it has new episodes. Then, a month later, the Nick Jr. cable channel would give it the same treatment, giving it one airing a day at 4:00PM and having its' other timeslots paved over by PAW Patrol, Max and Ruby and the new import Trulli Tales.
