It's almost like pre-internet media industries were centered around a few tiny spots if you wanted any sort of mainstream footprint See: the music industry

Yeah big money execs shoving big money "talent" down everybody's throat means it isn't exactly mind-blowing SNL had a lot of influence.

The best part of Revolution X is that they didn't want to show bullets, so the guns shot out high speed deadly CDs at the enemy.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:SNL rolled those all in to one I miss Jay Mohr. The best 90’s stupid SNL scene is him as a rookie cop who pukes at a crime scene. The puke hose clearly coming out of his sleeve and continuing to drip after he puts his hand down is such a huge blunder that I always crack up seeing it.

Grraarrgghh posted:A friend I used to live with bought the 6-player X-Men machine from a local arcade for $300 in like 2008. Every single party we had music/conversation punctuated by Colossus' power move yell of "UUUGGGHHH" every 30 seconds. The Colossus Roar is a meme ingrained into Magfest lore so much that there's actually signs around National Harbor come Januarytime basically saying "Don't roar here" with a big "No Colossus" symbol.

You know what was super 90s that nobody remembers? Those cars with the motorized seatbelt buckles on a track near the door. There were like three or four years where that was the coolest poo poo ever, and then you never saw it again.

My older brother used to have those in his car when he drove my sister and me to elementary school. We used to argue over who got to sit in the front seat because it was so cool.

Cartoon Man posted:Pretty sure those belts didn’t work too good in a crash and were banned or something. I thought I read that one or two of them somehow choked someone, but I did a quick search just now and didn't see anything on that, so I guess it was just an urban legend growing up in the 90's. Which reminds me of this gem of a movie from the 90's "revivial," as it were, of slasher movies:  Edit: God, remembering it now, so many of the kills are basically pure coincidence that they "lined up" with an urban legend. The first one, for example, is a woman alone in a car. She is out of gas, pulls in to a gas station, but is freaked out by the creepy gas station attendant since it looks like he is going to rape or kill her (he has a bad stutter, and lies and says she has to pay inside and locks the door after her, because he saw the killer in the back seat.) As she pulls away, he manages to scream out that there is someone in her back seat, but too late, who then stabs her to death. So...how the gently caress did the killer know that someone would see them hiding in the back seat, but only just a little, and it would be a weird gas station guy with a stutter, so he couldn't easily tell the victim, so she could still manage to get back into the car and leave?

I know those were trash but I really loved that design. Speaking of car stuff, anyone remember the motorized antennas? Or sticking magnets with antennae on them for car phones?

automatic seat belts were a thing because they passed a law requiring cars to have air bags, but since air bags require all sorts of sensors and stuff so they allowed auto seat belts as a substitute until the auto manufacturers could introduce redesigns with airbags. they were also lovely too FilthyImp posted:Speaking of car stuff, anyone remember the motorized antennas? Or sticking magnets with antennae on them for car phones? my old car had a motorized antenna, but it went up when you listened to cds too so i disconnected it. the car also had 2 ash trays in the back for the back seat passengers.

It was a bit of a shock to me to realize a few years back that lighters were no longer standard on cars. I don't even know many who used them, really....

FilthyImp posted:I could see them being a headache with the mechanism breaking and whatnot. And I imagine the attach point wasn't as strong as just baking it into the pillar. I'm surprised that cars have external antennas at all, since embedding them in the window is a thing now. Seems like car antennas changed to the short nub, or the in-window kind around 2000. And with them, antenna toppers disappeared:  These look fancier than I remember. They were mostly just a ping pong or tennis ball on the end.

FilthyImp posted:Speaking of car stuff, anyone remember the motorized antennas? Or sticking magnets with antennae on them for car phones? When we first got married, my wife had a 1994 Cutlass that had one of those on the rear right quarter panel. One day she was leaving for work and as she was backing out of the garage, the door spontaneously decided to come down. She put it back in drive and quickly tried to get back in the garage. The antenna caught on the door and got snapped off. If memory serves, the part alone was $280 to replace it. Fortunately installation was super easy so I did that part myself. I hated that loving car.
