I recall something similar in an episode of South Park.

It was the sea-monkey episode called "The Simpsons Already Did It" in Season 6. Cartman gets semen (he doesn't know it's semen) from a homeless guy, but the line of dialogue is "I just had to close my eyes and suck it out of a hose."

Looking back at it, this seems so obvious.

But honestly Nickelodeon owned in the 90s.

Does anyone remember another Nickelodeon short that was animated? It had a guy that was like a stick figure, and he was in a box and there were all these contraptions on/around the box. He walked around in this box and all you could see were his legs and arms I think and maybe an eye. What the gently caress was that? This might have actually been an 80's thing that bled into the 90's now that I think about it. I seem to recall it with "You can't do that on Television".

Jimmy the Cab Driver shorts on MTV. Donal Logue as Jimmy, who apparently has nothing better to do than watch MTV during his time off. Enjoy:

The fact that this isn't somehow Donal Logue or Peter Sarsgaard makes me angry for some reason.

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 :smith:

Wait, how is this possible? I seem to remember RAM sticks (almost?) always needing to be in even numbers on the motherboard to be recognized--not to mention they had to be the same size stick or risk problems. I feel like I learned this mistake the hard way when I bought an extra stick of RAM and the computer never recognized it on boot, thus requiring me to return it after I found out I had to get a stick identical to the one already on my mobo.

Late response re: 90’s action flicks but I like to think Face-Off, Con-Air, and The Rock are in the same universe and if you watch them in the order I listed it all works.


If you just take The Rock as being “some time in the future” and Connery is an older Cage it really works.

Not nineties but serialized TV and prestige shows chat: Battlestar Galactica (reimagined) was ruined prematurely thanks to season 3 producers and the writers strike going into season 4. If that show could have been on HBO it would have been historic I say!

Hi a few pages late but Cobain very clearly and admittedly wanted more money so he could be more of a junky and afford his heroine. Watch Montage of Heck and you’ll see pretty much everyone comments on how all he really wanted was to be a junky with that money. Watch it also because it is a really good documentary.

Jack Black was also in the X-Filed Season 3 episode D.P.O., which incidentally is one of my favorite X-Files episode, AND contains Giovanni Ribisi, AND a prominent use of 90s alternative and grunge in the soundtrack to include Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot featured front and center in what feels like 75% of the episode.

If you have’t watched it, do so.

Additionally: this episode is hella 90s because it also includes an arcade as a main backdrop in the story. Though arcards aren't a 90s thing, the 90s did give the last gasps of the arcade as we knew it before the 2000s, mmos, and the internet totally killed them.

Nickelodeon probably
Had a lot to do with the while grossness popularity, what with sowing the seeds in the 80s with You Can’t Do That on Television. By the 90s every show had to have boogers and barf and farts even if it wasn’t necessary because at that point it was literally the identity of Nickelodeon.

Ava was one of those albums you'd always find ten copies of in the bargain bin next to Spin Doctors and Chumbawumba.

Edit: also Jimmy Chamberlin was the most underrated drummer of the 90s.

As a drummer I can tell you no one underrates him then or today. He just wasn’t as famous despite his band. Chamberlain is a huge influence on me as a drummer and I love listening to his nuance. As with most members, the fame usually goes solely to the singer. Definitely not underrated though.

Didn't one of the versions of the shareware disk of Doom have the full version on it, and it wasn't all that hard to unlock it? Or was that a stupid rumor?

I feel like that is true and I am pretty sure I remember unlocking it.

I am almost 100% sure this was with Doom 2 because I never owned that game but have beaten it on my own machine with cheats

Not with every song, but with most.

Not complaining. Just saying. This was literally high school.
