Perhaps the one song that always pops into my head whenever the topic of the 90s comes up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY_3uxzkoV4 One of the best show on Nick.

I'm sure if you watched late night tv in the 90's, you probably saw this commercial at some point
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZJSjrox_2s

Oh man, I remember seeing that commercial all the time when I'd stay up on Saturdays to watch ECW on WRBW/UPN 65. Speaking of, pro wrestling's big period was during the '90s and no wrestling is more '90s than ECW and if you ever watched it you undoubtedly saw this commercial for Extreme Warfare Vol. 2 on just about every commercial break. It's practically burned into my mind at this point.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXy7AvQgS6A

As far as iconic '90s commercials go, there's one that seems to somehow not exist on the internet for some reason: Tom Emanski. Specifically the one that ran well into the 2000s with Fred McGriff.

I remember playing some PC game when I was a kid, it was Wishbone put into the Odyssey. I could never figure out the part near the end where you had to shoot the arrow through all the hoops. Sadly we didn't have internet back then so my only way to figure it out was to call some hotline number that told you how to do it. The 90's :allears:

Maybe you other 90's kids can help me with this. There was game I used to play, that I believe was a FPS.

During the game I remember going through the map on different levels and giant eyeball monsters would pop out from around corners. Basically all I remember were eyeball monsters and it's been driving me crazy for years.

Ugh. These things. From the first time I saw them, the first thing to come to mind was :dong:. I will never figure out people who think they don't look awful.

On an unrelated note, here are a few obscure 90s PC games. My dad was a huge fan of old point and click adventure series type games, and I usually ended up playing them a lot myself.

Total Distortion was a big one. I'm bummed that I can't get it to work my computer:

Those colors :psypop:

I remember a friend of mine making a website that looked like this for computer class in 9th grade, it had red text on blue and green backgrounds or something equally as horrifying. And GIF animations, a whole bunch of them. And frames, of course, since pretty much all of us were using premade Microsoft FrontPage templates. (We weren't taught any HTML or anything that might theoretically be useful later on) The site I made wasn't that much better, but at least it didn't permanently blind everyone who looked at it.

This wasn't even in the 90s, it was around 2002 and we really should have known better by then.

Hahahaha that made me think of Step by Step which was always on just right before dinner time.

Holy wave of nostalgia from this thread though. Also I am ashamed of you all. Unless I missed it, has nobody mentioned MOTHERFUCKING DOUBLE DARE YET? Oh man this was another dinnertime show, my family used to watch all the time!

Also when I think of the 90s, I think of Trapper Keepers (which were banned at my school for some reason) and Lisa Frank which was really popular with the girls.



Ninja Edit: gently caress you all, I'm going to be watching 90s stuff all night now.
