Choco1980 posted:Cow and Chicken meanwhile was one of those shows like Rocko's Modern Life that hid dirty jokes everywhere. Most notably there was the episode (I believe later banned from CN) about "Buffalo Girls", an all female rough and tumble biker gang that comes in and eats all the carpets in the house. Wasn't there another cartoon like this where one of the characters made a lesbian joke where he brought out a cardboard box and said something like "yeah, she said all I have to do is chow on this box!" I can't remember the cartoon but I remember that scene and wondering how the hell that got past the censors, it was pretty drat funny at the time though.

Wheat Loaf posted:Behold: cutscenes from a 1995 Star Wars PC game with cheaper CGI than an episode of Babylon 5. Fun stuff. 90s game intros were awesome - I remember how stoked I was when Quake 2 first came out in '97 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miHAh2Q-U94 The little stuff made the intro - radio chatter, voice-overs that sounded like they were from the news, I was loving PUMPED when I first got it

Joe Friday posted:I loved (and still love) Unsolved Mysteries. They scared me to death growing up. I recently re-watched some and find the aliens/D&D/ghosts very 90's. There was one murder that the show attributed to the "occult" that was related to Magic the Gathering. It wasn't just the intro music, Robert Stack doing the voice-over always made it more eerie to me. Dude had the perfect voice for stuff like that, always made everything subtly more weird and creepy. RIP Robert Stack

Wheat Loaf posted:I'm actually not surprised by that. Even if the weird Crazy Frog toasting thing they added over the top was really, really annoying, you can still dance to "Axel F". Coldplay's stock in trade was and still is immeasurably dull dirge music. Plus, Family Guy can reference Axel F and make it hilarious...don't think the same can be said for Coldplay tunes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qfMIhV1UJE

Ha, good times, all those songs remind me of my first job at a Walgreens, I think that CD and the elevator music channel were all they played

ToxicSlurpee posted:The people I knew that liked Ska generally liked at least some No Doubt. Their albums before they got famous were pretty ska (or album...I forget if there was more than one from that era but I have a copy of a very, very good album that predates Tragic Kingdom) but didn't like Sublime all that much. It was a luke warm thing; a few people would like one Sublime album or a few songs but mostly it was the druggies that liked Sublime. Incidentally they also hated No Doubt. Odd. Yeah, I saw a lot of this in high school - I got into ska through a few friends, they were all into Reel Big Fish, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Bosstones, Save Ferris, even Sublime, but a good chunk of them just hated No Doubt. My only gripe with ND at the time was Gwen's voice sounding so nasally and it kinda annoyed me, and some of it seemed to "pop-like" for my tastes. I remember people not caring much for ND because in their opinion, they felt like ND was just in it for the money, where a lot of guys who liked Sublime respected that they were just a party band that got popular and started selling tapes out of their trunk, and didn't care so much about the money or fame - they just wanted to have fun and gently caress around.

ToxicSlurpee posted:The best part is that Coolio and Weird Al didn't turn it into a huge rivalry. Given how petulant music industry celebrities can be that was kind of a shocker. They also made up later and Coolio eventually said something to the effect of "yeah ok that was pretty funny in retrospect." Not to mention Coolio's song was already a cover of a Stevie Wonder tune, Al could've just gone to Stevie's people and asked and Coolio couldn't do poo poo about it. I always thought that was at least part of why there was never any legal action, but I hated hearing all the crybaby people bitch about someone doing a parody of their favorite "serious dark rap song" like Weird Al had busted their door down and killed their families while making it.

twistedmentat posted:Oh god, the kids! Though i didn't see any rat tails. Were those more 90s or 80s? I associate them with white trash kids from the early 90s. Rat tails were definitely a mid-late 80s thing for the most part, I remember plenty of kids having them (and getting made fun of)

Super Waffle posted:I remember trying to install Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds (which was pretty much a pallet swap of AoE2). It required a minimum of 32 megs of RAM, I only had 24 Psh, I remember the old Acer P100 my dad bought in the early/mid 90s that had all of 4MB EDO in it (later upgraded to 8MB). Original Quake played pretty well on it for a while after he installed a 4MB video card, Quake 2 not so much. I played that game in almost the smallest window possible because anything higher than 800x600 played like a slideshow  Ah, the good old days.

The Repo Man posted:I don't remember 2 Stupid Dogs being a gross out show. It was okay from what I remember of it. Cow and Chicken was horribly bad. 90% of the shows on Cartoon Cartoons were even worse, but I think that's where Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, and Family Guy got their starts. Pretty much, What A Cartoon was kinda the equivalent of Liquid Television for that stuff, just more tame.

Man, I forgot how bright and oversaturated the 90s was when it came to pretty much everything colorful. TV shows, commercials, toys, clothes...compared to the sort of faded "realism" look that's been happening over the last decade or so. I never thought watching 90s commercials on YT would hurt my eyes so much lol

ZDar Fan posted:I was a huge Jim Carrey fan and I certainly remembered his rise as a big comedy star, but I didn't realize that Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb & Dumber all came out in 1994. God drat. It was fun as hell watching him get better after In Living Color, he was amazing in that show. Ace Ventura is still a goddamn masterpiece and never fails to make me laugh.

Mu Zeta posted:I knew grunge was dead when WCW had a grunge rocker parody character named Raven. His intro music was a ripoff of Nirvana's "Come As You Are" and his signature move was called evenflow like Pearl Jam's song. They did a lot of that stuff, even DDP's intro music was Smells Like Teen Spirit in a different key or something

Randaconda posted:I love 80s/early 90s pointless guitar solos. One of the first badass guitars I heard growing up was Eruption by Van Halen. Still love me a wicked solo or instrumental piece. Dont forget crazy drum solos too, my bro was huge into Motley Crue & seeing Tommy Lee wailing away in a rotating drum cage was badass

Vanagoon posted:A 90s song that remains relevant. Anytime I hear this I think of the old Aerosmith Revolution X arcade game (apologies if it was already mentioned, I've been skimming through on a nostalgia trip lol)  I can't remember what it was about other than having shooty guns, I think you ended up taking out a helicopter at one point to try to rescue the band or something

KHLAV KALASHNIKOV posted:At my last job, I worked in a pretty tiny cubicle so I got one of these because I figured it was better for working in such a small space. That was five years ago, I work from home now but I still use it. Apart from color, the only real difference between mine and this one is that there are forward and back buttons near the ball. I still have a wired one from literally 25+ years ago I used to play DOOM II & it’s still functional, might hook it up to my little retro Dell Win98 laptop. Inzombiac posted:Same here and he always beat my rear end in Quake so...  nothing more fun than whipping that trackball & zooming away like a bat outta hell, reminded me of a mini version of the golden tee & bowling arcade games
