In season 4, episode 4 of Stranger Things, the pizza dude was playing with a yoyo. Was distracted yet knew the sound of a yoyo being played. ---

When Dumbledore meets Tom Riddle for the first time in “Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince”, there is a yoyo among the items that Tom has stolen from the other kids in the orphanage. ![tom_riddles_yoyo](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/e/b/1eb2675b5be0dbfddd0fb41f7320e2040fb80a14.png) ---

Oh yeah, was re-reading and know one that is pretty big that hasn’t been mentioned on this list. Ness and his companions in Earthbound/Mother series use a yoyo as a weapon. It’s also his up and down smash attacks in Super Smash bros. Yomega had a special color way released for this, the PK Yomega and I at least know MK1 Sliver has a PK color way. Also in some Kirby video games he can gain the yoyo ability. When I was younger I always wanted that ability or the wheel. ---

The episode was produced during the time of the yoyo boom which likely still has nothing much to do with it 🙂 ---

Looks to me like it’s tied to the middle finger above the middle knuckle (i think i see tape as well on the finger) and the string is over the pointer finger. I don’t know if it’s correct but i put the throw on my middle finger, right near the middle knuckle (toward the tip side). Though sometimes near the knuckle by the tip…i change it up Enjoy the throw kgb ---

I guess I’m the only one here who’s seen the Dora movie. I thought it was fun. There are two scenes with her yo-yo, one of which is some light combat. She goes to a normal high school in California for the first time ever and gets hassled for bringing totally harmless things in her backpack. I don’t know why this clip cuts out the yo-yo, i guess to save something for the theater?

They cg’d the yoyo trick. Ridiculous. it’s a pretty nice looking wooden yoyo, tho. ---

Not mentioned in the song lyrics but a yoyo is thrown around a bit around the 3 minute mark. https://www.youtube.com/embed/85wZw1O83aE?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=OLAK5uy_l9dQb98avzaG8u0-otkDa2KH74HsuDse8 ---
