Nothing like going to grandma's house and her serving you last night's casserole from a dog turd brown tub. Followed by rice pudding in a puke beige tupperware bowl.

Tupperware was sold(and it was true) as plasticware that was high-quality and would last, it wasn’t cheap, but it was made well unlike almost all other plastic crap at the time in the late-sixties to early eighties. It’s Achilles heel was the microwave, as microwaving food in Tupperware destroyed it just like any other plastic container, it faded away as microwave use increased. Stuff like those unfortunately-colored pitchers hung around forever because who in the gently caress would microwave a pitcher?

I can count at least 8 Tupperware pieces in that photo I know my mom still has and uses regularly. Though the oval-shaped storage containers she has (back left, with the red lids) have blue lids...but yeah, otherwise identical. That round pasta-holder in the upper right is still holding her spaghetti, and the cereal container next to it is what she used to put "Crazy Cereal" in. Crazy Cereal, since you're probably wondering, is what my mom would do when a cereal box got at or slightly below "one bowl's" worth. She dumped it into the bin. A "perpetual stew" of cereal.

I’m the official Family Member Who Loves Weird Old Stuff, so I’m sure I’ll eventually end up with them.

I still have a small one of those oval containers, which is a great spice container, and a large semi-transparent white storage bowl (similar to the green one in the photo) that's in good shape. Tupperware has tended to hold up well in our family because jfc who the hell microwaves food in plastic. You're just asking for cancer. Put that poo poo on a loving plate!

David Berg appeared in the 1960's stayed through the late 90's at least and never once was funny or had any drawing ability. Given this is the 1980's nostalgia thread, thought I'd discuss actual 1980's MAD Magazine stuff. Yearwise, 1984 & 1985 were Mad Magazine's stronger years for the 1980s. MAD issue #251 had an amazing full-size poster worthy cover, while MAD issue #253 covered the movies Supergirl, Ghostbusters 1, Purple Rain, and Karate Kid 1 along with a decent "what if newspaper comic strips went dark" featurette that felt like scraps of 60's MAD content. MAD Magazine issue #251 was "MAD Salutes the Jacksons" with art of the Jackson 5. Jessie on bass, Kate on drums, Michael on mic, Reggie on secondary mic, and Andrew rocking the guitar.

I subbed to MAD during the 90s and also have the first CD-ROM set. The 1970s issues are a bit smarter, with heavier political commentary. You had Don Martin, Sergio Aragones, Dave Berg and Al Jaffee (who just turned 101) providing much of the material. That said, my lowbrow self rates a mid-1990s bit, Al Jaffee Gets Gross as my all-time favorite. Maybe it's because the 1970s were honestly more absurd. The 1980s were purposefully more absurd and the 1990s were ironically that way. quantumfoam posted:No disagreements about the jokes and art being better in the 60's & 70's for MAD Magazine, except for David Berg.

Growing up as a young nerdling in Norway in the 80s, one of my main sources for early English practice as well as foreign culture was MAD Magazine. My dad had a stack of old issues from when he was in college in the late 60s, and kept buying new ones every so often. (There was for a good while a Norwegian edition as well, with some reprinted/translated stuff and some domestically produced; but we often got the American issues; you could subscribe, or they were available at newsstands in most larger towns.) The 60s/70s ones were indeed pretty smart and subversive. One side effect of this is that my early conception of American society was largely based on these satires, without being previously familiar with the things they satirized. Another side effect: In those days, we usually did get all the big American movies in our cinemas (or sometimes straight to video), but there was a delay of months to a year, not like today when most big movies are launched simultaneously across the world. (Importers would see what movies were actually successful, figure out if the success would be applicable to Norway, negotiate deal, translate subtitles, print copies with subtitles, plan distribution, etc.) HOWEVER, there was no big delay in getting new issues of MAD Magazine. (Just however many days it took for the freighters to cross the Atlantic, if they weren't even sent by air mail.) THUS, by the time we got around to seeing a new American movie, we had long since read the MAD parody of it. So ended up laughing in inappropriate places.

So many movies where I read the MAD parody before the movie. And the often parodied very mature drama films which a kid/teen would have zero interest in seeing anyway. When it comes to language I mainly thank Sierra and Lucas adventure games.

They did a parody of My Fair Lady but it was completely remade to be set on Madison Avenue with a bunch of men in suits and a hippy that they remould into a stereotypical 60s ad man, titled "You're a Pig, Mallion" 60s Mad was smart

I remember being about 7 or 8 and finding joke labels for canned goods in a MAD like TOAD NOSES and ARTICHOKE SPLEENS. I put a bunch on some stuff in the pantry, but took off the original labels and my child brain didn't think to write on the can what it actually was. My parents found it humorous, though for a bit we played canned-vegetable russian roulette. Is it a can of peas or sauerkraut? Who knows!

Yeah, being a nerdling into the home computer/videogame scene back then was also a primary driver for learning English. And nerd-genre literature in general, the available selection in Norwegian at the time was pretty limited and soon exhausted.

 this movie owns because it has Tony Hawk  also it's hilarious because they essentially tried to create a new slang with this movie, and it never caught on, which always made me laugh. I was a kid in LA during the time this came out, no one ever ever ever said "gleaming the cube" it was not a thing.  tony is too cool
