RC and Moon Pie posted:Note: they did ban slap bracelets. I think the funniest part (to the teachers) was the fact in my school, eventual slap bracelet policies came after the fact most kids who owned slap bracelets in my grade school bought them from the school in the first place along with their holographic pencils. Thanks for the lunch money spent on cheap knickknacks, kids.

Wheat Loaf posted:There was also one on Cartoon Network called Dink, the Little Dinosaur, which is one of the cartoons I saw when I was very young, forgot about completely for about 15 years, then rediscovered via the Internet. Would that be Sky Surfer Strike Force? I'm just pulling half remembered 90's names out of my rear end here.

GWBBQ posted:He does, get permission even though he's covered under Fair Use; this comes up in his Behind the Music episode. Coolio was asked about Amish Paradise, and he said that he though it was too serious of a song to make light of with a parody, so one of the producers flat-out lied and told Weird Al it was OK. The opposite happened a couple of years ago over Perform This Way, which Lady Gaga's manager made him actually record before telling Weird Al that she had said no. He put it on Youtube since he wasn't including it on the album and was surprised when Lady Gaga herself contacted him to let him know that she loved the song and approved of it being on the album. https://alyankovic.wordpress.com/the-gaga-saga/ I've always liked those details. That sort of thing is probably part of why most people remember him at least somewhat fondly instead of "Ugh, that parody rear end in a top hat". My useless trivia bit I remember from a special (had that bit about coolio, so probably the same one) was how he got the idea for "Like a Surgeon" from Madona saying "I bet Weird Al makes 'Like a Surgeon'".

WeX Majors posted:So I see some people aren't familiar with one of my favorite shows on Nickelodeon. Let's fix that. I always felt bad for the Wild and Crazy Kids contestants. Wild and Crazy kids mostly took place out in an empty grass field. Or maybe a lake. Meanwhile all the other kids on gameshows had actual gameshow props. So you just know they felt like they got the cheap summer camp to the Disney land of the other shows.

My first FPS that wasn't a shareware copy of Wolfenstein or Blake Stone, was Curse Of The Catacombs (Which I now know was a rerelease of "Catacomb Armageddon"). Now, GOG has a release of all those games, but it doesn't have the most 90s childhood memory part of the game. See, The rerelease was done by a company called Frogman or Legendary Frog or something. In the original release/GOG Release, to the far left of the HUD is the game title and the Softdisk tradmark. But for me?  I basically had Not Diggum The Frog as my wingman as I fought rabbits that turned into rabbit monsters  I also remember being so thankful that the little text bar at the top of th HUD gave hints around destructible tapestries and walls, which was like, holy poo poo.

sinking belle posted:The lack of any 7up branding on this cover is weirdly interesting to me I like cool spot. All of the sunglasses, sneakers, and mickey mouse gloves of a 90's Icon. None of the forced catch phrases. Oh right, I think earlier in the thread somebody mentioned DNL (Though I saw that in the 200Os so yeah). They had special display stands to put it upside down, so customers could go "Ooooh, it's 7up, upside down  "

Plavski posted:Think of all the decisions that had to be made to get that thing into production. At every step, when someone asked "is a cartoon about a graphic horror film really appropriate for kids?" they were told "yes, yes it is." Well, the Toxic Avenger got it's own cartoon  Though they never got the Kabuki Man cartoon picked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6WGpiH7Sgw

My hazy memory is telling me the hardest part of this game was how breaking barrels and destructible walls hurt you Props to them letting you chump an early boss by rolling pas them, then shoving a barrel fire under it though. Haha.

Damnit Conan, this is like the 16th time you've found something that could cure your family of turned into loving statues syndrome, but you let someone else have it for their problems. You'll never see these people again, gently caress em. No it's cool just learn to be a ninja next episode and then forget everything about being a ninja after that.

Crow Jane posted:See also: Captain Planet. The message was nice, but even as a little kid I knew that show sucked. My hang up was "Hey, you have solar power SO GOOD you can run a flying submarine with it. Maybe that would help more than yelling at the nuclear power plant staff." EDIT: I eventually started to wish for an antagonist who ran a natural disaster relief organization. "If I kill captain planet, there will be no more earthquakes!" "Sir, I don't think that's how it works-" "NO MORE EARTHQUAKES!" And my insane mental tangents turn to Thunderbirds "International Rescue." My god, what would supermarionation Captain Planet look like? Section Z has a new favorite as of 22:03 on May 7, 2016 |

Wheat Loaf posted:It's not even just his vulnerability to the things he has to fight (which is a bit like if every single Superman villain was powered by Kryptonite, come to think of it) - there's at least one episode where he's incapacitated by crude oil, even though it's a natural and unprocessed material, which you wouldn't think would hurt him. I suppose it was contemporaneous with the Gulf War, so oil gets to be like the token evil naturally-occurring substance. Oh good, I'm not the only one who stopped to think about that. GWBBQ posted:I loved it, but I was also a gullible kid who didn't question any of the bullshit they told us in the D.A.R.E. program so I wasn't the best judge of quality. The Wheeler figure shot sparks out an open hole in his chest. For Kids! I remember this because I was a huge killjoy as a child and pointed out "Hey, maybe my pal's 3 year old sister shouldn't be playing with a faulty lighter." I'm all for spring loader rocket launchers, and tiny toy catapults with plastic boulders, which all parents lived in absolute terror of. But some things are just very  in hindsight for what got a saftey pass for kid's products. Both for getting made in the first place, and parents not picking up on "Fire hazards are worse than sticky dinosaurs that might stain the wallpaper"

My favorite part of this is the cartoon hats they are wearing. "How will the kids know you are wrappers without backwards hats!" "Because we're... actual wrap artists?" "...But how will the kids know-"

So it's the 90s. Everybody still loves the Ninja Turtles, but XTREME is the new hip thing with the kids these days, "How do we cash in on this?" "…Dinosaurs!" "Yes, but it needs more than that." "Five of them! That's one more than the turtles have!" "Yes, good. But is it XTREME enough?" "We'll give them guns! Gun they won't miss with, they will actually shoot criminals! And they'll in a band!" "This can't possibly fail." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA4o6WhJO-A "I feel we took a wrong turn somewhere." If the powerbook was so good, it would have told bike messenger that is clearly a skateboard
