VoilaIntruder posted:In the 90s we rebelled against popular artists and characters the only way we knew how: by making Java games where we shot at gifs of said characters. Be sure to visit the Anti-Barney webring partner sites for more. Yep, I was all over that back in the day. Once, my teacher caught be drawing this ridiculously violent picture of Barney being mutilated, and she actually posted it on the wall of her classroom  But the real tour de force of Barney Bloodlust was a Wolfenstein3D hack called Barneystein 3D (go to the bottom of the page for a download). We didn't have a sound card on our poo poo 486SX but goddammit I didn't care, I just wanted Barney gibs spilling all over the floors of his own castle.

Rude Dog was sort of a clothing line before it was a terrible cartoon show (thank christ that Big Dog never got that far, ugh). Seems like there was a brand called Rad Dog too, but without any kind of tubular jiggly-lined neon pink logo. I could be wrong though, I can't find any evidence on page one of my Google search, and I don't give enough of a flip to go beyond that.  the dude with the 'tude, in the mood to be rude (guess I'll kill myself now) e: The cartoon came out in '89, which is goddamn close enough in my book.

Eek was a great cartoon, and The Whining Pirates of Tortuga has to be my favorite episode. Eek singing 'one million bottles of milk on the wall' and the pirate made entirely of peg legs (named Peg) were just fried gold. Edit: Eekpocalypse Now! was pretty great too There was a youtube video posted a couple of years ago that was just basically a ton of clips of clichéd '90s stuff (including chunks of footage from Cool as Ice), all set to loads of awesome New Jack Swing. I can't find it, and I was wondering if anyone else knew what the hell I was talking about? root beer has a new favorite as of 22:12 on Apr 11, 2012 |

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.

Good god, understatement of the epoch, I think a growing  might be necessary for this one... let's see here:Wikipedia posted:The following is the order of appearance in the song: I'm not even going to list all of the people in the choir, but it included people like Alyssa Milano, Downtown Julie Brown, Gary Busey, Kevin Costner, Cindy Crawford, Billy Crystal, Richard Gere, Whoopi Goldberg, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Don King, Jon Lovitz, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, Fred Savage, Nicollette Sheridan, Mike Tyson, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Warrant... and I could swear I saw Steven Seagal in there somewhere. All that's missing is Bart Simpson, Steve Urkel, and Vanilla Ice, and you'd have the ultimate '90s bullshit wankfest right there. Hell, you even had the footage that was black & white with certain bits colorized and flashing, in perfect '90s 'style'. We sure knew how to Support Are Troops back then, didn't we

Okay, how about Lurleen McDaniel? My sister always got a stack of these melodramatic piles of poo poo from the library back in the day. Every single one is about someone who is going to die. I'd read the ending and spoil it for my sister   Yeah so she started this crap in the mid '80s but whatever they were the fuckin' same anyway

Will say though, it was a pretty progressive show, letting Staci Keanan play as a linebacker and all. I can see where you might think it was a '90s show.

Okay guys, we've been talking about TV shows and toys and music, but let's be serious here: I'm taking about Yeah! Woo!, the official drum break of the '90s. Sure, it may have started in the late '80s (specifically in 1988 with Roxanne Shanté's 'Go On Girl' and 'It Takes Two' by Robb Base and DJ EZ Rock, shown below), but once you hear the sample, you know that it's been used in 91% of all songs recorded between 1990 and 1993. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IBRbzf3Fws Seriously though, this sample was everywhere in the early '90s, not only in hip-hop and New Jack Swing music, but in TV themes (you all know this one) and in video games, for chrissakes. Hell, you could even find it in 1997 on the continue screen of Street Fighter III: New Generation. I don't know about you, but I feel that Yeah! Woo! is in the core of early '90s pop culture.

T Fowl posted: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. 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 |

Not to mention that the ending was pretty hosed up in which Norman and Virgil both die and Skullmaster actually kinda wins. It really was a surprisingly great show.

OldTennisCourt posted:I would dig a book of all those old 80's/90's arcade flyers. They was some of the best, cheesiest things ever. What made them weirder is, and please correct me if I'm wrong, most of them weren't really made to advertise to kids but to arcade owners which makes the cheesy set up even funnier. That sounds about right, the ad probably came from an industry journal. I was looking up Pit-Fighter, a beat'm up by Atari from the early '90s that used digitized mo-cap graphics like MK, and the ad was kind of similar, but it also boasted about things like lame arcade cabinet ad posted:
which just reek of business-speak. Seems like there was another arcade cabinet ad I saw that was even cheesier and dorkier. King Vidiot posted:The good guys were so much lamer than the bad guys, but I guess that applies to every toy line from the 80's/90's. The most obvious example of this I can think of would be when Alien 3 came out, and all I remember thinking is "who the hell would even want the human figures when you can get these rad aliens?"
