Memes about the 1990s have become increasingly popular in today's digital culture, as nostalgia for this decade continues to resonate with people of all ages. These memes often reference iconic movies, music, fashion, and events from the era, capturing the essence of what made this decade unique. With the rise of social media platforms, sharing these memes has become easier than ever, allowing people to bond over their shared love for the era's pop culture, humor, and distinctive style.
One such platform where these memes have found a dedicated audience is the Facebook group called "80s & 90s Memes." This group has attracted a large community of people who share a passion for the pop culture and nostalgia of this decade (as well as the 80s).

One of the first things I checked for inside my first CD... Lyrics.
My grandpa has an original juke box with all the music still on it he has so many of these! I can’t wait to inherit it!
I'll never forget the smell of a freshly opened cassette cover/lyrics pages!
More like and 80's thing, but I guess there was a brief period in yh early 90's.
That wood spoon texture was nails-on-a-chalkboard feeling for me lol, even to this day it gives me goosebumps
Load More Replies...Like cardboard mixed with a slight hint of fragrant pine and oak leaf. And the spoon tastes like that as well /j
I always hated that spoons, is a texture thing, like some pople recoil when hearing fingernails scratching a chalkboard.
Is it? I haven't seen them since summer camp eons ago,or field day at the end of the school year lol
Load More Replies...He wasn't homeless. I remember they went in the trashcan and it was massive!
but Oscar had a pool, a bowling alley...and an entrance to Grouchland.
You missed the point: there is a response post to that picture of the headline which throws back to Oscar.
Load More Replies...He lived there be choice. Also his trashcan was a portal to grouchland.
Who ever really thought he was homeless when he seemed to be where he belonged. Everyone is exactly where they needed to be every when.
As the '90s slip into the past, the '90s fascination seems to be getting stronger and stronger. This can be attributed to a number of factors, including a desire to remember simpler times, the influence of 90's pop culture on current trends, and a desire to connect with others who share similar memories.
I’m pretty sure only 0.5% of 8 year olds are asking for the newest iPhone. And even teenagers these days still love those multicolour pens
Pretty sure more than 0.5% are asking for a phone of some type :(
Load More Replies...If you had one of these, you HAD to try and push all the colors at the same time. Edit: Push, not pull.
Out of three capital 'I's in the last sentence, why is only one actually a capital 'I'?
I had one like this that had five or so different colors. I still think about that pen.
Was it pink with glitter and it smelled like bubblegum? Mine was.
Load More Replies...I just found out there's a makeup version of this, with eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner... And I must have it.
I wish I could combine decades. The 90s sound awesome but my favourite decade for fashion was the 1950s and I couldn’t live without modern tech. So I want to combine the 1950s, 1990s and 2010s

Load More Replies...free range kids need to be more acceptable! like it's well and good for parents to be for it but if evereyone outside calls CPS on you for letting your kids run around unsupervised it's very disheartening. :( I'm not articulating this well but like, 'it takes a village' can also be negative.
https://letgrow.org/ this is just free-range parenting. And it's good imho. Let them do stuff!! All the friends I have that were helicoptered are SUPER dysfunctional and helpless and anxious; you have got to let kids not be supervised sometimes as they get older so they can practise. It's way harder post-9/11 in the US but that just makes it more important imho.
Ahahahaha!!!!!! If we bitched about being bored our parents told us to go outside and play find something (constructive) to do.
Now with stranger danger child trafficking at its highest yeah I can’t have mines out without supervision. Just doing the zip code search is wild. There’s no zip code even with highest median income 100% safe.
In many ways, the 1990s represent a unique historical period marked by significant technological, political and social changes. These changes have left an indelible mark on the collective consciousness, making them perfect topics for memes and online discussions.
Getting tangled in your fave tape after it blows out and they throw it on the floor. Or seeing a mangled and smashed cassette become part of the street.
Load More Replies...and getting a pen / pencil to wind the tape back in, spinning it around to rewind it
And when you couldn't untangle it so you made the hard call and cut it and then go to surgeon mode and try and tape it together. And from that day on you hear "Weeee are the ch______ions, my frieeend"
NOOO! I still get flashbacks to when my tape deck chewed up my brand new copy of Depeche mode's Violator album! :(
I was vacuuming out my first car and was being lazy and tried to vacuum around my Pink Floyd, The Wall tape and sucked the dang insides out. No pencil was going to fix that.
I accidentally ruined my favorite college mix tape by putting it in a cassette player that was known to eat tapes. RIP to Da Funky Mix! :) (Why did we come up with such stupid names for mix tapes?)

You know what never gets enough love in these pics? The fact that in most of the card catalogs I used each one of those cards was typed. Some awesome librarian had to type every one. Mad props to that work and effort.
Ahh the Dewey decimal system. I remember being quizzed on it like where would you find this book?
"Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System!" (Conan the Librarian from UHF)
The popularity of '90s memes also stems from the fact that many of those who grew up during the era are now adults with a disposable income, driving the market for nostalgia-inspired products and experiences. For this generation, memes are a way to relive their youth and connect with others who share the same background.
My mom was cheap and bought bags of cereal not in boxes so I read books.
We always read books at the table (not when we ate dinner as a family).
Load More Replies...my mom doesn't let me have my phone at the table and my younger siblings dont have phones. we read the milk jug lol
I have wood paneling in my house now (built in the early 80's) and I LOVE the nostalgia of it!! Good thing my decor palate is the same :D
Load More Replies...a few years ago we bought a house that partially looked like this. during the reconstruction, we discovered that there are real walls under the wood. I was blinded by happiness.
Wood paneling! I still love it. I remember it from the 70s, though, being a bit older than 90s kids. I was sad when it went out of style.
I love it too. I still have it in my house, it looks great so many decades after and it's so easy to upkeep
Load More Replies...I can still remember counting the panels around the room over & over again when I was supposed to take a nap but wasn't tired!
I remember those hallways. Still had some in the 90s.... I actually kind of miss them a little.
I used to pick out all the dog faces in the knots of the paneling while I laid in bed!
The sense of nostalgia evoked by these memes can also be a solace in escaping the challenges and complexities of modern life, allowing people to briefly revel in memories of a more carefree and innocent life.
That said, '90s memes not only serve as tools to remember the past, but also serve as bridges between generations to appreciate a bygone era that shaped modern culture. promote.

I am always suprised, that they usually let you scroll down to the year 1920 or even 1900.

Load More Replies...My kids have the same ceiling, stars installed literally a week ago. I didn't push, they saw it in the toy store and were super excited about it. I think it's timeless.
My son too. over the mountains painted on the wall
Load More Replies...My parents regretted letting me do that when they tried to remove the stars after I moved out. Apparently it's a pain in the a$$. Among the stars I also had the centerfold from some music magazine which depicted a shirtless Sebastian Bach from Skid Row in leather pants. :) Hair bands were my jam!
Well...you did not really take a ton of pictures. You took maybe 5 at Easter, 5 at your birthday, and 10 during summer vacation, so that with the 4 you took at Christmas, the film was full and you could get it developed finally. Then, and just then, you would find out what was on the film. Made the pictures just more valuable, IMHO.
Nahh got one, we fired them all off in max 24hrs, that was the standard for most people I knew. Then got them develeoped a fast as possible, so excited, and most of the pictures were absolute c**p. 😂
Load More Replies...Well, I remember the fast 60 min service towards the end of the analogic era.
My grandma had had her finger in front of the lens on most of the photos she took. 🤣

Wasn't it always 24+3? Haha!
Load More Replies...And then blinding your friends with the flash after all the pictures were taken.
Maybe a polemic opinion, but I'm always a bit sad when kids don't dress like kids, because that usually ends up with an adult missing their childhood :( I enjoyed my childhood as hell, played with toys until I was 14, still carry my harry potter's backpack... you should wear whatever you want, that's true, but idk, just slow down on growing up, it won't get a lot better
It depends on the days and activities, too. My 9yo kid has a discrete collection of bow ties.
Load More Replies...I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the picture on the left. Some kids would prefer the outfit on the left and some would prefer the ones on the right. It’s not like that dress is inappropriate
Agreed, the dress on the left is cool. Everytime I see this kind of posts, though, they make me think of childhood, hence my previous comment :)
Load More Replies...Back then they did professional photo shoots with little girls too, but they dressed them up like Tennessee hookers.
The children on the right are wearing clothes that were popular during that time period
I was a young adult in the 90s. God damn, the fashion my entire youth was bad. I envy kids today with access to so much chic. I wore peasant dresses and clogs.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with either look; both are adorable. Looking at older pictures, too, you have to remember - we didn't get to see the picture we'd taken until days, weeks, or maybe months after we'd taken it. So we didn't have the option to take 1000 pictures until we got just the right one. I think that's a big part of why so many old pictures seem so unflattering to our modern eyes.
I really hate this meme, I know so many boomers who share this, I grew up in the first one, and wasn't always so peachy. It's a different time and different generation, and I bet if we had phones in the 90's we would have been the same.
This complaint is the Millennial’s version of the Boomer Participation Trophy. You can’t normalize something for your kids and then be mad when they treat it as normal. Plus plenty of kids play outside still - it’s a stupid myopic complaint.
If we had phone in the 90's we would have been the same? Ian Reynolds, I think you are not informed enough about the effects of mobile phones on people (young and old). Many studies have been done showing people are less social because of phones, and have a difficult time staying focused on anything.
STEREOTYPICAL! I don't do this. I might still go on my phone, but I go outside and do stuff! I mean, if this was in the 80' s or 90's it would still be the same anyways!
tbh this isn't accurate, i've never known anyone who just hangs out by being on their phones. my friends and i text each other when we're at home yk but when we're together we live authentically, not behind a screen. im from the south and i definitely grew up living a life more like that first one. i's born in '06 so maybe i'm a little older than the kids it's referring to, but still- i don't think electronics have as much of a hold on kids as most people think. idk
i'm a 2010s child, yes i have a phone and computer but i had heaps of fun playing outside also
Maybe if we ~let~ kids go outside or had an outside with public spaces kids could go without being hassled, they would.
Don't younger Gen-Xers and older millennials ever get tired of these lies? They did not play on puddles and ponds on the 1990s, they stayed inside and watched TV. In the 1990s kids watched, on average, more than 4 hours of TV a day. Cable TV provided multiple channels of 24 hour TV, and families had multiple TVs at home.

They well 'she'll suits' in the UK. I remember getting one with some new fila trainers and thinking I looked amazing lol.
My friend, Arsheki, loved her windsuits. 😊 Good times. In second grade she got a new teal wind suit and her first straight perm for picture day. 1989 if you're wondering.
Omg my teacher once got one of my notes where my friend and I were complaining about a mutual friend... he was laughing and judging us so hard that we started laughing as well
And you could always play desk football with it. Try to get it to hang over the edge of the desk to score.

I hear songs on my local "soft rock" station that my mother wouldn't even let me own the cassette tape because the music was so, "nasty".
I was (and still am) shocked and annoyed when Led Zep's "Rock and Roll" was used in a cadillac commercial.
If I ever hear an 'adult contemporary' version of Black Hole Sun, I will likely lose what little sanity I have left.
Not long ago I was listening to the oldies station when suddenly, Metallica came on. It took me a moment to realize that no, my station did not change itself as I wept while singing along to enter sandman. But my day got slightly brighter when I also realized that are generation has the hardest oldies music. Good for us.
The other day I heard an N'Sync song on the 'oldies station' and I was like no way!?
I'm totally jamming while grocery shopping now. BSB, Britney, humpty dance.. I think I'm their official crazy lady. I try to just hum quietly but I can't say I haven't gotten carried away... ALRIGHT! Also spaced out and cha cha'd real smooth with my cart. If they play the macaroni I'm gonna get banned from the store!
Nah... I just insist on singing along if my kids are with me. Perhaps I'll even do a little dancing. At the store. Because it's more important to me to be a fun mom for my kids (later on I'll be the embarrasing mom. Lol) than to be the socially anxious introverted me. Sometimes my bf will join in and we'll have a little spice girls duet or do the macarena-dance as discretely as we can. Lol
Just the other day as I was decluttering boxes and such out of basement storage (to prepare for the probable flooding coming from record snow melt), I came across my similarly-clad collection. Lots of memories flooded back. Then, as I continued on to other boxes, I realized that I no longer own a CD player and rarely connect the DVD player on my TV stand. At that moment, I had to face the fact that first, I AM OLD and Second, my kids could never appreciate Pink Floyd or Rocky Horror Picture Show CDs the way that I did (because I had to earn the money and search out a source for CDs -- Nothing was on demand). With a hard gulp and a tear in my eye, I bid farewell to my past and placed my collection into the "Donate" pile.
Still have mine, I bought one that held 320 cds and added more pages so it holds 600 now lol
But the teens know. I loved these when I was little. My favorite one had cats on it. I lost it in the 3rd grade. So sad :’(

Or slamming the receiver down repeatedly when you were pissed at the person on the other end of the line. Just can't get that satisfaction with cell phones.

I remember when the push handle was above my head. And using a log splitter when I was about 10... I can't believe I survived my childhood sometimes
Sometimes I wonder if the anxiety and stress expressed by parents these days over letting their children do things like we did (as you mentioned) and survived as stronger people for it, actually leads to more accidents and fatalities. An anxious, scared youngster is much more likely to be injured by something than one who steps up, thinking "If Dad told me to do this, he knows I can, so I can!" The solid confidence of that thought was priceless.
Load More Replies...Yes. I remember earning real cash for chores. Saving up to get that one thing I wanted. How much more I cherished it when I finally got it.
The thing is, most of these are about things that I wish I could do. Parents are a lot more protective these days, and I can’t just go out on the streets and play until my mom calls me for dinner or something. My dad is also in the military, so it’s hard to make friends to do stuff. They are so protective that I can’t just go and do stuff with friends and things like sleepovers have to be planned in way advance. Also, kids are just meaner today.
Kids aren't meaner today than in the past. Bullies are just more likely to be caught now and hopefully punished too. These nostalgic posts aren't accurate for everyone anyway. I was a 90s kid in a dangerous part of town so I didn't have the outdoor freedom to play. Everyone makes do with what they've got.
Load More Replies...I did this at the same age and same year this kids is. I know enough to know the mower is not running because he is not holding that thin bar against the handle.
Oh yeah, I didn't catch that at first. I remember yanking that starter cord until my shoulder was sore because my dad wouldn't buy a new mower until the one we had was beyond hope. When it finally died, my dad bought an electric mower and it was WONDERFUL. No starter cord, no exhaust fumes, and it was quiet. You just had to pay attention to where the power cord was while you were mowing.
Load More Replies...I started with a push rotary mower. Don't recommend it, but it's a good them to remember when I want to complain about my self-propelled mower.
It took sooo long to save up for a new Nintendo game when you only got $5 a week for mowing the old lady's lawn two houses down.

Being a mermaid, she was probably illiterate... at least that's my explanation.
I was totally with you until I remembered she signs her name on Ursula's scroll! And I swear she has some books in her collection (which is weird for underwater).
Load More Replies...I heard a radio show about this the other day. They said Hans Christian Andersen wrote this story when a man he was in love with was about to get married. He identifies as the mermaid as he must remain silent, how ever deeply he loves. I have not seen the Disney film but the original tale was rather sad. More so now I have that context.
She signed the contract but didn't read it or fully comprehend it! She wrote her name. Which. Given Mermaid, Royal, and underwater, was probably all the literacy she had.
Yes, Ariel signed Ursula's contract so the illiteracy argument doesn't hold up, but this movie was set in the 1740's, meaning that paper would have been expensive and rare enough that even a prince like Eric probably wouldn't be randomly carrying some around in his pocket. Not to mention he'd have to carry a quill pen and inkpot too.
AND NOW THEY ARE CHANGIJG THE LYRICS TO THIS AND POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS!)!!!!

I still have a black t-shirt with the embroidered champion logo where the pocket would normally be. Its from 1999. It has no holes, still very black, and is one of the most comfortable t-shirts I own. They were inexpensive but quality clothes that we used for sports practice.
Load More Replies...Okay I'm glad someone said this. My brother is MUCH younger than me and was talking about some kid in school bragging about all his Champion clothes. I had a brain lag moment trying to remember if Champion was ever chic or not.

That looks so delightful. I don't think we had this place over here (at least not like that!), but I would have loved to eat there just for the atmosphere. And yes, I am one of those losers who thinks sitting in a snackbar is a nice evening of eating out. It shows, doesn't it?
Hey, I love oak, and the well placed glass lamp shade, but this wasn't good food, the chairs were not comfortable, and the outside was basic brick strip mall standard. You might have found it fine, but even then it wasn't hard to find "the same but better" in a lot of places.

Undeniably, the '90s heralded the end of an era. If you grew up in the '90s, you had no internet and no gadgets growing up. Then you got to experience the Wild West of the internet - Napster, SomethingAwful, all of the shock sites, etc. And now you get to watch your elderly parents fumble through Facebook and try to dab.
Load More Replies...I guess I understand why people tend to romanticize the past so much, but damn, I'm 40 and I get really tired of this "the good old days" and "kids today" stuff. Just because kids today aren't doing the exact same things we did as kids doesn't mean anything is over. Also, tons of kids still go outside. Sure, phones and social media are a legit concern, but kids still play outside and their parents still do dumb, dangerous stuff with them, so...
My mom just passed, 100 years old. Every generation, it seems, talks about the old days. The stories are just interesting. Imagine rationing, if you ran out of gas ration cards you couldn't go to work, if you had a job. Or waiting for the ice truck so you could keep things cold in the "ice box". Having to have a garden if you wanted fresh veggies, supermarkets? Ha. BUT both my folks enjoyed their good old days. I had no reason to change their minds.

That sucks. The good old days weren't good then either: my dad was witness to one of his friends getting bounced out of the back of a truck and expiring, and that was in the '60s. I am 40, and have only been in a road vehicle without a seatbelt a couple times, and certainly not just chilling in the back.
Load More Replies...Every time I see people spouting this nonsense, I'm reminded of the moral panic in the 1500s where The Elders were agonizing over kids and their love of the latest technology: books. Not kidding, they really were saying the exact same thing 500 years ago... over books...
Humans have been saying the same thing about later generations ever since there WERE later generations: "Those cave paintings are just shocking! Kids today - who draws animals so real they could come off the wall and trample us? Back in my day, we were content with symbols and nothing else!" It's a human condition to both look back in fondness and look ahead in horror. 😁
Load More Replies...That backwards seat in the station wagon was the best! We always fought about who got to sit there.
No idea what this mean memes. Does everyone have absolutely perfect childhoods or something? My life didnt even begin til I was 30.
When you are very poor you have no life or not much enjoyment in life sadly.. My parents had no car, no internet, no heat in the house. No money so no school trips, no sports, no vacations. Only work and being hungry for memories
Load More Replies...Yup I remember riding in the back of a Pinto station wagon. We didn't realize how close we came to certain death.
I blame it for all generations of serial killers since its release. No one survived after 1984. Fact!
Pong! I used to get a pocket full of quarters, grab my little sister and go play Pong at the bowling alley till we were tired of standing.
Same, and 3 was wall mounted. Still on my mom’t wall to this day even though she cancelled the landline about 15 years ago.
Load More Replies...In order..4,2,3...what no cordless? Big antenna sprouting off the thing
3 and 4 until about 1994 when we got our first CORDLESS phone. It was amazing. That thing could go into your room with no cord, and it would even work for about an hour before it had to go back on the cradle to recharge. A WHOLE HOUR!
Omg I still have the big plushie with the pull cord on its back from like 92/93 somewhere in my closet at my dad's.. this was May favorite show.. I cried so much at the ending
Lord my kids and I LOVED this...Sherman Helmsly singin' "purple haze all in my brain"
I remember **** COMMODORE 64 BASIC V2 **** 64K RAM SYSTEM 38911 BASIC BYTES FREE!
And the shortcuts for Quake, Unreal Tournament, Half-life, GTA 1...?
Floppy disk in. Then I think I typed A:start.exe If that didn't work, I panicked because I had to remember the 'find what on disk' command again
Friggin' luxury. In 1981 I was playing Rogue on a modem model like this, but more basic. No screen, print only. And we all only existed in black and white. telephone-...A902YY.jpg
When you finally reach 99%, someone picks up the phone to make a call!
...and then quickly hitting cancel about a million times in a panic because you just realized you're downloading an .exe file instead of an .mp3 from Napster.
Growing up we did not have internet at home. I had to go to an „internet cafe“. I got my first „own“ internet when I moved out for my apprenticeship when at age 17.
I started downloading songs in early 2000 from Napster. 50 minutes to download a song and an hour to write the CD. I couldn't believe it!!!! Free music without the radio DJ breaking in.
These things are the reason why I'm 5'10

Yes it did. It caused an extremely unpleasant distortion. XD
Load More Replies...I was at Kroger one evening and they were playing all Disney animated sound track songs! I sure as heck was singin' along to Hakuna Matata!
I remember when the Simpsons first started they were on the Tracy Ulman show as a side bit. They got their own show and she has been well out of the spotlight for decades now.
Unfortunately yes. Who else remembers the dance? My older cousin taught it to us and I thought I was SO cool. :)
My dad had a bunch of the California raisin figurines, some had instruments
I still have some of them. My kids don't understand why we can't get rid of them and they totally don't understand why they amuse me! Yes, I my brother and I had the entire set. The closest Hardee's was like 20 mins away and we spent a summer making the drive and eating a lot of raisin biscuits working on the collection.
Every wednesday, friday and saturday at Granby halls skate rink, Leicester!
Honestly those were some of the best times of my life. I didn't think it could get any better than Friday night at the roller rink. We used to call cute boys from our class on the rink's payphone. God I'm old! :)
I used to work at a roller rink. DJ and floor guard. That's where I met my wife. Been married now for 47 years. Holiday Roller Rink, Elkhart, IN.
I'm 43 and I've never worn a pair of skates or blades of any kind. I've always wanted to but my parents never let me and now I'm too afraid because if I fall now, things don't heal up that easy...😔
This is mine just we only have an ice rink where I live, but I skate around my house all the time
I really miss video shops, I used to spend ages browsing. I wish they were still around, there is nothing more exciting than picking out a new movie.
Or asking the attendant to check the return bin at just the right moment. It was like the skies opened and the Gods smiled down when they found just the new release you wanted.
Load More Replies...I can't even watch new movies anymore. It takes forever to scroll through the hundreds of badly categorized movies to find one I like. By the time I've found one, I don't want to watch a movie anymore.
At least he could afford a stay-at-home ditsy Peggy, a 'fun' daughter, a loser son, a real Dodge and a house! On his shoe store salary.
On a side note, dozens of those phones (or pieces of them) keep washing ashore on a beach in Bretagne (France) since more than 30 years, after a ship lost a container full of them during a storm.
This harkens back to the 80's when telephone companies lost their monopoly on telephone manufacturing which opened the doors for tech and electronics manufacturers to design, produce and sell their own products. Better variety and much better prices. Prior to this, you had to buy or lease your telephone from "the telephone company" at huge markups and monthly fees.
As a Garfield collector (he's been my favorite since I was 4), I would LOVE to get one of these!
I has a see thru phone WITH my own phone line !! Yeah that's right I'm a baller
I was such a massive cheater. When it was my turn to push thumbs down I made sure to stand behind the kid just in case they were a cheater too. :)
Load More Replies...I don't get this. I went to school in Australia and New Zealand and never saw a game like this. Is this an American thing?
Heads down thumbs up - lets play 7-up. American thing
Load More Replies...Head up, Seven Up is what we called it. I was a shoe peeker, I'll admit it now.
we just called it "heads down thumbs up" :')
Load More Replies...We still play this all the time at school. And yes I still peak at their shoes but that only works when we’re wearing sport uniform because otherwise we’re all wearing the same shoes
Please let it be my crush that picked me. Ummmmmm.... Sally....No.... It was me, Bobby Munson. I hate life!
OK but what about the Friday the 13th TV show? Anyone remember that one?
That was me last night, and I am paying for it today, I'll tell you what 😂😴🥱
Yeah, I tried playing through the night last week. Lasted only till 1am and had to recover for nearly a week. (I normally go to bad between 8 and 10 and I get up at 5-6)
I'm getting a little anxiety from the absolute atrocity that is this buggy.
It's the complete lack of any lights that does it for me.
Load More Replies...as baked as he probably is - the palm trees seem reasonable.
Load More Replies...Please, just please: don`t mock Bob Ross. His trees were happy! See the real one at wikipedia. The picture there (with trees!!) is copyrighted, and I can`t even post the link to the wikipedia source.
I don't see how this is mocking Bob Ross. If anything, it's a compliment to them both.
Load More Replies...I used to go to the library to print off guides and cheat lists from GameFAQs!
I was recently cleaning out my bedroom closet. Apparently, I had tossed a bunch of papers into a box to sort through at some later date, then forgot them. And I found reams of paper printed with walkthroughs for Donkey Kong Country (1, 2, and 3), plus a bonus: a map of Zork I drawn by my brother.
Bob Seger could stretch a song ending for DAYS. Against the Wind should have been half its actual length.
Yes... finding a good end is quite difficult, but fading out is easy.
Tape on reels were the go, Dad had a projector and when the screen went up in the lounge we sat down and we were quiet.
Marlboro was for wimps, doctors recommended Camel.
Load More Replies...I never saw cigarette props like that in department store studios.
it would be apparent that they had been rolled. while in the way shown, it was nicer
Load More Replies...Anybody seen the Nic Cage movie with those furries in the abandoned restaurant?
Yes! Not a single word from Cage... Thought there would be a witty one liner SOMEWHERE, so we kept watching. Never again.
Load More Replies...Um in 1985 my father sat me down in a wooden chair and had me watch The Exersist. I was was 5. I moved my brother to the bottom bunk so if demon's came for me they had to go through him first which gave me time to get as far away as possible.
and the pain that was putting together mouse trap
Load More Replies...The worst part was if you were missing pieces for Perfection or Operation (or any of the dozen other games like them)
I remember playing with the "perfect" one when I was really little. Omg it was so fun
No, it was that crocodile game! I don't remember what it was called exactly, but you had to press its teeth down one by one, and when you hit the wrong tooth its jaw slammed shut on your fingers. XD
Yup a cold war nuke. In schools we had drills just in case of it happening.
Load More Replies...Their fried chicken was delicious and the roast beef sandwiches

I did this once to my grandparents. Grandpa told me to just say my first name and where I was after that.
Load More Replies...RIP Sam..."we don't need to feed the starving folks...we need Uhauls...TO TAKE THEM WHERE THE FOOD IS!!!!!!! A_A_AAAAAAA!"
In today's society so many people would have bitched about their comedy. It was fun then. Not like the so-called political correctness of today. The great comics of our past. Carlin, Murphy, Clay, Kennison and don't forget Pryor.
This pentagram is ALL WRONG. No wonder they can't summon the 90's. How embarrassing.
laughs, this is fancy, in Australia it was an orchy (orange juice plastic bottle short type) bottle, cutting a cone out of a tin can and shaping it, then cutting someones garden hose and sealing the hole once you stick the hose in with gum.
Yep. Neighbours hose just kept getting shorter and shorter
Load More Replies...And they will NEVER get how funny stuff like Half Baked and Harold and Kumar are cuz the plot line doesn't make sense
We didn't have time to be that precise on our high school lunch hour.
I didn't have Nintendo, Nintendo or Nintendo but I still have Nintendo, Nintendo and Nintendo! :D
I envy you. We could never afford a Nintendo or a Nintendo. But at least I got a Nintendo for christmas once.

I don't understand why you were downvoted. My friends had an Intellivision. One upvote for you!
Load More Replies...I regularly sing to my youngest while they get ready for bed. Last night it was "All I really Want" and "Comedown". Yeah, I'm winning father of the year.
Don't know why the down vote. I totally heard it too
Load More Replies...Don't want to be nit-picking, but the Lady and the Tramp=2 dogs :-) And who would have the heart to separate them. So as much as I'm team Scooby on this one, I'd take those two, because 2 dogs is always better than 1 !
EEEEEEE I am a youngster I must admit but I LOVE this show SO HAPPY THEY ARE BRINGING IT BACK!! 🥳🥳🥳
Not so young Kevin gets a job at a nursing home and recognises two of the residents... Only to hear the main doors lock and Harry grins to reveal a new gold tooth...
No, the Playboy was his, the rest belonged to his teenage brother...
Load More Replies...Thank you! I fell asleep with the TV on last night and this show came on, immediately woke up to the heh heh and was so mad, lol.
Load More Replies...Same. It was one of the only videos we had in college for a while. Lost count after 30th viewing. It helped that Queen is my fav band.
Load More Replies...Bob from La Bamba made my buddies and I laugh so much, especially the party scene where he's covering his face with the collar of his jacket. I'll be shocked if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
Yes!!! I use to crack up at that and nobody else would. They all thought I was crazy lol
Load More Replies...It's called "sh*t on a shingle" for a reason. :D
Load More Replies...Still do. There's a great diner around here that serves it and they also have a great chicken fried steak.
Load More Replies...Anyone else eat Welsh Rarebit on toast? My mom used to make us the Stouffers version which was heated in the microwave. So I'm not sure if I've ever actually eaten the real kind. :) Really tasty though! And even better if followed by Stouffers baked apples. From the microwave of course....
Gross. Mama made this in the 60's! She called it chipped beef on toast. We called it something else. Ĝag.
The good old days depended on your situation. Especially in school. If you were a kid and lucky enough to be popular they were good. If you were an outcast your life was a misery. The only difference was you didn't have as much support as kids have now. You suffered in silence.
Some of these were pretty funny, but a lot made me feel like Millennials are just becoming the new Boomers. I guess age happens…
This is gen X, not millennials. We are the new boomers
Load More Replies...I dislike the "my generation is the best generation because it's my generation" jokes.
Class of 2002 here and I can honestly say, I think my generation was the last good one. What do I mean by “good”? Cell phones were barely a thing. Barely. I had one. It was the size of a brick, and I left it at home. Social media did not yet exist. We didn’t have any way of keeping tabs on people other than just showing up. Remember how exhilarating it was to go to a house party or a football game hoping your crush would be there? Yeah, that’s how good we had it. We were self-sufficient. We had cassette tapes. We were living our lives for ourselves and not for the number of likes received. We were untethered in a way that we will never again know…
The problem with this article is I'm 13 and have experienced half of this stuff.
