Lorak posted:Nickelodeon had some music during commercial breaks. Not the bumpers, but they were often percussive with objects used as instruments. One used trash cans, another a quartet giving someone a haircut, where the main percussion was pumping and lowering the chair. I'd love to post a link to the video of the latter, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone else know what I'm referring to? Are you thinking of Mr. Frear's Ears? Here's one example, not the one you described though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcC53gBD634

It's the final scene, so SPOILER ALERT!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd7ALKWFEsc And in the topic of Stephen King, this son of a bitch traumatized me as a kid

Mooseontheloose posted:The bigger thing is that it was mostly faithful to it's comic counter parts, so it introduced some of the best X-Men stories to lots of people. Indeed. I think it did a great job with the Dark Phoenix Saga. I also enjoyed how they'd include these little easter eggs here and there for audience members who were familiar with Marvel comics more generally (for example, Doctor Strange, Thor, the Watcher and Eternity sensing Jean becoming the Dark Phoenix, or the annoying janitor who follows Bishop through Limbo turning out to be Immortus in disguise).

It did nothing but make me want to buy and eat as many gopher cakes as possible, and they didn't exist, so it was terrible. It's an example of the classic PSA problem of adults believing that children will think the same way they do. Having a bottomless supply of snack cakes that I can eat until I'm physically ill is basically 6 year-old me's perfect day. My hometown used to have a billboard of a kid dressed in stereotypical awful 90's fashion with a cigarette in his mouth. The caption said "Smoking is NOT cool!" To an adult it's a picture of some Jr High kid in those silly kids' stupid fashions, to me at the time it was HOLY poo poo I GOTTA GET A PACK OF CAMELS RIGHT NOW.

Yep, they're dead. Content: Monsters In My Pocket:  One of my favorite kids books, Harris and Me. No one else I know ever read it, but it's a fantastic boys adventure book.  Another toy I loved back then, although much later in the 90s.. I was obsessed with these, and collecting as many as my parents would buy me. (I seemed to always end up wanting toys that you had to collect, drat toy makers and their supreme marketing strategies to suck your puny little child mind into addictive collecting.) Besides that, I was obsessed with Star Wars like every other boy. (Tie Fighter PC game was already mentioned and I played that way too much.)  Someone also already mentioned the original Talk Boy, BUT DID YOU HAVE THE PEN MOTHER FUCKER?! I had this and it was pretty cool except for the fact that it only recorded like 30 seconds at a time.  Ridiculous 90s movie every kid wished had happened to them...

Speaking of '90s YA books:  This was such a goddamn good book, about a legendary kid and race relations, but it wasn't heavy-handed about it like Captain Planet and the Sentient PSAs would invariably be. I still have a copy at my mom and dad's, I'm going to give it to my daughter once she's in fifth or sixth grade. Anyway... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXp-oszYFlQ Part 1 of Children's Palace/Child World (RIP) 'Video Toy Chest', forty minutes of toy commercials interspersed with child actors pretending to know how to operate a television production house. This terribly campy thing from 1990 features actors like JD Daniels (of half of the TGIF shows ever to last less than a whole season), Sheldon Turnipseed (GhostWriter, the '90s-est show ever to air on PBS), and Lacey Chabert (well, you know this one). The rappin' host guy and guy-dressed-as-a-granny were, um, memorable... Children's Palace > Toys 'я' Us forever. root beer has a new favorite as of 05:44 on Feb 25, 2013 |

m2pt5 posted:I suppose they're still sold and used, but this just screams 90's to me: I remember getting one of these instead of a Talkboy... and actually being excited about it. I used the hell out of that tape recorder, mostly recording my favorite lines from TV shows to play them back later in school, everything from as far back as Beavis and Butt-Head to as recent as South Park. I even had it confiscated several times by teachers. For some reason I also recorded random songs I liked at the time and kept them on those tiny cassettes, like miniature mix tapes (of really bad music). It's funny that about a year after I got my Not-Talkboy, I got an actual licensed Talkboy for Christmas, and I never used the thing. Ever. Not that I wasn't excited about getting it, it was just that the excitement was more about the fact that it was in that movie and not so much about the thing itself. Those little tape recorders with their little cassettes were so much cooler. Then later I watched Twin Peaks and it made my little recorder even cooler still. I still have the thing laying around, but I've retired it.

I remember always watching Xena after school. Pretty bad-rear end for an 8 year old. Xena: Warrior Princess - http://youtu.be/_dF3VTOcbuo Sadly, the next year was all about fakey high school drama and so my line-up looked a little different: California Dreams - http://youtu.be/g8ltiqJgf24 (I had a crush on Sly and my favourite episodes were the one with him and the blind girl) Sweet Valley High - http://youtu.be/3goaKpDp-Y8 Saved by the Bell...the College Years - http://youtu.be/o-uxin7XHug (I'm sad that this was a thing.) And then there was my absolute favourite, the awful, Canadian-made Breaker High - http://youtu.be/HFWsagSNoRg Yeah, that's right, I liked Ryan Gosling before he was cool.

When I was in middle school we'd spend the whole lunch period at the pay phone using one of these to play the tone that signalled a quarter being payed and make prank long distance calls. My buddy's cousin got the tones from some phone phreaking website and we thought we were elite.
