I find it pretty funny in retrospect, because the entire message of that song is that you slave away at your job during the week and get to chill on weekends. Except that it's targeted at kids. Kids get to spend their days loving playing sports and instruments and watching Bill Nye and then head over to their friend's house after school to play some Goldeneye or Twisted Metal.

Also he put up with my Awful Waffle jokes for 5 whole minutes, which I'm probably more thankful for than the picture.

Every weekend during the summer as a child I would go visit my cousins and marvel at their early 90's computer. They even had video games on their computer! We would sit together in their musty basement pouring over their extensive puzzle/adventure game library in an attempt to beat them all. So let me just take a moment to say gently caress that King, gently caress that yeti, AND gently caress THAT loving PIE!

I think I dropped $40-$50 of my little kid money on that pile of poo poo only to spend a lot of time wandering around in a desert. It came with a cheat sheet guide that had that red see-through plastic overlay that let you read the answers to her nonsensical puzzles but I must have thrown it out so as to better enjoy the masterpiece. I should have gone with Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine or something. Pictured, an utterly terrible game designer:

I seem to remember back in the '90s (or very early 2000) when the Rugrats or other Nickelodeon cartoons had a deal where if you went out and got this pair of cheapo 3D glasses from the packaging of some food item (I'm thinking Doritos or some sort of snack food), you could watch Rugrats/other Nick cartoon episode in 3D. I seem to remember it being a HUGE deal, too. Anyone else remember this?

My family had pay TV (aka cable) with Nickelodeon and I would receive newsletters from them. I got 3-D glasses once for an event where certain shows had scenes of 3D for about a month. The also had Smellivision where you had to scratch a certain panel for a certain scene on TV from a booklet that you received from the mail. magic pantaloons has a new favorite as of 13:19 on Apr 26, 2012 |

I think this was in 1999 or 2000. Nickelodeon made it a huge deal at the time, but I remember being pretty disappointed by that episode of Rugrats.

Someone should write an algorithm that creates the most 90's phrases imaginable, like "Booger Burgers" or "Yak-Tastic!". I wonder why the 90's were so obsessed with gross/out-there humor.

Huh, mine must've been different...I graduated in '99 and the school choir sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and a few other songs, but nobody ever played "Closing Time" or "Good Riddance".

There was a lot of those 3D shenanigans like that going on in the late '90s, ABC did a week of it. The effect wasn't that great, but I will say that that episode of 3rd Rock was beautiful nonetheless.

Sadly, I found my Grossinator a while back in a box of old junk, and a battery had leaked into it. I couldn't even get it to work when I cleaned it up and put fresh batteries in. I felt like a revolting... gross... nnnbooger.

They did this in the early 1990s for some shows on the Fox network one night. 3D glasses and these scratch and sniff cards that you use at certain points in the shows. I'm not sure if The Simpsons did it but I'm pretty sure Married...With Children did.

I've asked about this in 90s threads before, and on other forums, but it's something I truly cannot find any evidence of, but am positive they existed. They were "Donna Reed" snack bars - Donna Reed as in the 50s/60s sitcom, which was airing on Nick at Nite at the time. They were your standard breakfast/granola snack bar, with bits of dried fruit and the drizzled icing. They were probably made by General Mills or Kelloggs. I remember seeing the commercial for them, and I vividly remember picking them off the shelf at the grocery store, so I'm positive they exited. Even at the time I found it strange that a 60's black and white sitcom was used to promote snack bars. Anyone else remember these?

Or have the fat guy sit on the baby..or the cat. 3dmm.co.uk I think it was, was the best place to upload/download movies by others. Many, many hours were spent laughing at other kids warped sense of humor after school. Sites not been around for ages though Another 90's memory for me was watching sailor moon in the mornings before school, then talking about it when I got to school with my best bud.

Disney's One Saturday Morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atHUYWL1eIU I remember as a kid being loving BLOWN AWAY by the CGI in this. I still kind of am today. If memory serves me right they changed hosts too. The woman in this video was I believe the second host, but I forgot her name and the name of the first host. I do, however, remember that there was a character named Manny The Uncanny and he was pretty loving hilarious. Also there was an elephant named Jellyroll and people would write to him, and he'd participate in a segment called "How Much Stuff Could An Elephant Crush?" My parents NEVER got cable when I was a kid because it was expensive, so I always felt bad that I never got to see Nickelodeon much (and then when Toonami went off the air I felt bad that I missed out on that).
