Gaz2k21 posted:The complete episodes can be found online if you dig around enough, some of them aren't great quality but at least they have the music videos. They also have the "fire! fire!" stuff that was cut after the show was blamed for some kid starting a deadly fire even though the family didn't even have cable.

Grey Fox posted:Sure, but that changed into skinnier suits a while back. God drat, those late 90's/early 2000's suits sucked. All those players are (I'm assuming) well over 6' tall, yet if you covered up their heads, you'd think it was a bunch of 12-14 year-olds wearing their dads' suits to their junior high graduation. I think I hate the long coats more than the long pants...I mean, JFC half those guys have coats that are longer than their loving fingertips! And it's not even the length, the tops are cut so high that you can't even adequately see their shirt or tie. Although downside for modern suits, as evidenced by the guy third in from the left, is that it's impossible to not h ave a giant smartphone bulge. DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 21:43 on May 23, 2016 |

dumb. posted:I met Serena Ryder back in '09 and again in '13 through work. She was super normal. Like just a completely, almost boringly normal person. All the Canadian show business people I've met are like that, even Drake. Grey Fox posted:Sure, but that changed into skinnier suits a while back. As was said, the top picture looks like a bunch of kids dressed in their dads suits, while the bottom group look fantastic. That big, baggy shapeless two sizes too big look was so popular in the 90s, and I read that it came from dancers would wear clothes that were bigger because it would look better on camera. Though I've also read that it comes from the way prison clothes would be one size fits all, and not be, being designed for bigger inmates, small ones would be swimming in it.

I guess Batman: The Animated Series wasn't actually making a stylistic choice with all the really baggy suits. I work at a very high end mens bespoke boutique and the mere thought of putting a person in one of those 90s suits is horrifying to me.

Grey Fox posted:Sure, but that changed into skinnier suits a while back. Whilst it was the style etc. I thought basketball players like that wore their suits big because they are monster-size people and as such if they wear normal cuts they look like they are 2 sizes too small. See also John Cena in a suit.

I ordered the Mondo 2000 User's Guide to the New Age, and it came in today. This thing is peak loving 90s. It's extremely outdated now, of course, since it came out in 1992, but it's still interesting. The optimism, I think, is a bit  , though, since they apparently fully expected the coming information revolution to bring society into a techno-utopia.

That commercial doesn't just remind me of suckers, it reminds me of Pbj's made with crunchy peanut butter, of going to McDonalds and it being a big loving deal. It reminds me of Super Nintendo, of Wild and Crazy Kids. It reminds me of staying out till dark playing whiffle ball in a yard that couldn't have been big enough but we made it work. A time where I gave no shits except who in my family got to read the new issue of Mad Magazine first. My childhood, the 90's.

The 16bit era was the best time for video games, and if anybody disagrees, fight me irl. So many weekends playing Street Fighter 2 Turbo or Mortal Kombat 2. Then my friend got a 3D0 for some reason, and we wore out several of those lovely controllers playing Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

I've been thinking a lot lately that there's only about six months until the 20th (!) anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Of course there's plenty of books I like that have been around longer, but with Harry Potter, it feels different for me because I still remember the day I got that book (I would have been halfway between my sixth and seventh birthdays) really keenly. I also remember the day I got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a full 10 (!) years later equally well (my dad went out and got a copy at Tesco's first thing in the morning and I'd read the entire thing by bedtime that night).

What's surreal for me is that I used to have a family friend who go prerelease copies of books and so I read Harry Potter before it came out in the US and now if there was a new Harry Potter book there's no way in hell anyone would ever see a prerelease edition ever. I do remember strange things with prerelease books, one time I read a Redwall book that got caught up in some red tape and didn't end up getting released for almost three years and none of my friends believed me that it existed.

This is my 90s: MonsterVision  Joe Bob Briggs is the man that cemented my love of horror films. USA Up All Night  It was the early 90s, somehow our poor family had cable, and I was a kid that wanted to see boobs & butts, and Rhonda Shear was there for me. Silk Stalkings  Again, the timeless tale of a horny boy and a TV show that featured women in bikinis and underwear.

I feel like I mentioned this before, but in Canada, there was "the French Channel" that was on the dial that showed on saturday night sexy French TV and movies, that had all the boobs and butts and often muffs a 15 year old could ask for. I heard about Up All Night in the US, but it could not compete with the finest R rated movies Europe can provide, Oh La La. Man, I wish there was a Horror Host though. It was just something that I'd only hear of 3rd hand and it sounded so great.

Every time I catch an ep from, like, seasons 1-8 I always notice a thing that I say all the time and go "huh, I didn't even realize this was from The Simpsons". It was just that ingrained into 90's pop culture, it really explains a lot of modern comedy shows with young writers (Workaholics, etc) when you realize that most of those writers were in their formative years right during the golden era of The Simpsons and then became teens right around the early/mid 00s when SNL was on fire for a few years.

I think in retrospect a lot of that stuff seems really played out and forced (it seems like they're trying to force a new hip catchphrase character every week after Waynes World/Church Lady/Makin Copies/etc) but at the time it was must see TV. If you went to school the next day and hadn't seen the new sketches with the new character or whatever you'd be totally out of the loop and confused. I'd say the bad era was after all those guys eventually left to do other stuff and before the new people like Fallon/Fey/etc really hit their stride.

And so in the middle of things like the awful late 00's period consisting entirely of Amy Pohler, Rachel Dratch and Maya Rudolph writing painfully self congratulatory overly masturbatory sketches you get guys like Bill Hader and Andy Samberg being allowed to do really strange poo poo.
