for anyone whos rembers being a kid in the 90's

[mrdevious]

You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain , and Two Stupid Dogs.

I LOVED pinky and the brain! Animaniacs too!

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!

I always found it kinda dumb, but to each his own.

You just cant resist finishing this... "Iiiiiiin west philladelphia born and raised..."

...on the playground where I spend most of my days. Chilin out, maxin, relaxin all cool....

You remember TGIF on ABC. Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.

Dinosaurs is the only one I watched. I can't believe they ended a kids show with the apocalypse, but that's still awsome.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

Do I ever. I also remember how saddening it was when they all started getting replaced by sitcom's. Then it was all taken over by Japanimation. I saddens me to see the cartoons kids watch these days .

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

huh?

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

I remember those, read a few. Honestly the more I read the weaker the writing seemed. I mean lets face it, R.L. Stein is NOT A GOOD WRITER.

there..... I said it.

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

Not personally, but I remember other kids doing it.

You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

Actually they never banned them here. Boo ya!

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...

Only Wayne's World could pull that off. Man I loved those movies, they should have made a trillogy.

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record "Your FAVORITE song of ALL time"

I firmly hold to my hatred of radio to this day. damn mainstream lame-ass media-brainwashing talentless forumlated drek....

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.

It was decent.

Captain Planet. He's a Hero.

I remember captain planet. It always seemed odd to me that when they called out their power names the earth guy just sounded like he was saying "uh!"

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.

bah, I thought power rangers was lame even back then, no effort into special effects and they changed the theme every season after a while. besides, they killed a villian (who was a pig) by feeding him to death!

You remember when super nintendo's and Sega Genisis became popular.

I was a super-nintendo kid myself. God I miss it, I never actually got one sadly, but I loved playing it with my friends. I guess N64 was my biggest gaming moment (which I got in 1996).

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos... but never taped anything funny.

America's funniest home videos pissed me off. EVERY damn winner was some stupid baby video that wasn't even funny, but got all the votes just because it had a damn baby.

You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

I only liked #1 and 2.

You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.

I remember my brother watching magic school bus and wishbone, didn't watch them much myself.

You remember when Yomega Yo-Yos were cool.

Remember!? I played for hours with those things!

You remember those Where's Waldo books..

Loved those books.

You remember when Mortal Kombat Was "Da Bomb"!

I was more of a mario kid really.

U remember eating Warheads.(those sour candys)

vaguely....

You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.

3 ninja's was one of my favorites when I was about 5 or so. I think Batman 1 was from the late 80's, but I remember it well. Batman 2 was the most memorable for me though.

U remember Ring Pops.

yeah, but I loved runts. I remember when they didnt' change runts into the crap they are today .

if you remember when every thing was "da BOMB"

I first heard it from Waynehead actually.

when they made the new lunchables so that you could make tacos and pizza!!

If you could call them tacos and pizza.

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players

lol, yeah I actually remember when I was about 4 years old and saw a big fat guy wearing gold chains and carrying a big-ass boom box on his shoulder. I thought it was totally cool.

Writing M.A.S.H. notes. (and the twenty different versions of that)

Kids were into M.A.S.H.? Or am I missing something?

Making those little paper fortune cookie things.. and then predicting your life with them.

In my school all the girls did that, all the boys were into Chinese firecrackers. I actually got a huge piece of paper and made one so huge I had to jump off a table to make it open. Made a hell of a deep bang though.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

Meh. I was into Seinfeld and Fresh Prince.

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

Ah pogs, I remember the craze that swept my school. The ones we'd collect, the slammers we'd all compare and try to outdo each other with.

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

I hated those damn things. Don't ask me why, Tamagotchi and I just have a rough history.

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

I remember how Wolfeinstein 3d was the coolest game ever. And the end where you'd kill that guy with the two chainguns on his arms. Then it went to Doom and DukeNukem3d. DukeNuken3d was my true love.

And Windows 95 was the best.

And how cool it was that I had a CD ROM!

You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers,and Ninja Turtles.

Ninja turtles were my thing. I had all the toys and dressed as Leonardo for Halloween

You had a favorite New Kid on the block, and you knew all of their names

Meh...

Michael Jordan was a king.

He was the biggest name out there. lol, I remember when I was about 3 or 4 years old and I only saw black guys playing basketball on T.V., so I insisted to my friends it was a rule in basketball that you had to be black to play. It didn't help when I heard the term "white boys can't jump".

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and talking Elmo were always sold out.

Thankfully I never gave into hypes 99% of the time (just pogs).

You collected those Beanie Babies.

As I said, I saw hypes for what they were... hypes.

Carebears and The Gummy Bear show.

Vaguely..... I was about 3-4 when I saw that.

Gak was the coolest thing invented.

It really was...

Lambchop's song never ended.

I think our Busdriver wanted to kill us...

The old dollar bills.

I remember when I could get a $2 bill. Then the Toonies came out and everybody wanted to get one. now I wish I saved a $2 bill.

You remember a time before the WB.

um..... before the 60's?

You owned a portable tape player.

Also known as a walkman (you're talking about walkman's right?). I remember when the Diskman came out and it was the height of technological innovation.

If you even know what an original walkman is.

There we are.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

lol, I must have been the only kid who found Nickelodeon annoying.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

Haha, oh man I loved that show. Can't say it scared me (that I can remember), but I loved it.

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

wasn't big in my area.

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

No, but lots of kids said it to me and each other. I was a bit too logical for my own good.

You know the significance of the number 23.

Jumpstreet?

You went to McD's to play in the playplace.

I would hold my breath before entering the tubes, then pretend it was full of water and I had to get through it. The bubble'd areas were air pockets.

You remember playing on merry go rounds...at the play ground.

yeah, we would spin it as hard as we could and try to hold on. I remember when playgrounds were actually fun, then everybody got so sue-crazy and it all turned to lame plastic 2 feet off the ground .

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...

N64 was AWSOME! Goldeneye was one of the best times of my life, along with Shadows of the Empire and Mario 64.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

Some of the best times right there. Me and my best friend did that so much for so many years that we would just walk up to the counter and the clerk already had our name and phone number punched in.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

We measure by the liter here in Canada, but that's still damn cheap! I remember when it was in the 40's.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs .

X-files, The simpsons, all that good stuff.

when it was all about N64.

Your damn right

WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING

Pokemon was a damn stupid hype that's probably responsible for turning all our cartoons into Japanimation today. I stand firm on this.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

All's impermanent. I'm sure we'll one day say "remember back in the turn of the century...."

[ToDrunkToFish]

Dude I must say bein through all of the 90's I can relate to 90% that I actually did. But tottaly understand at least 99% if not all of it. Thats one hell of a list. Good times. Goooood times.

I watched Ren and Stimpy the other day on Nick2 some weird cable channel it was fucking hilarious! Then again its not often ive watached that show high. I havent seen them episodes in years!

[partyguy420]

well... once agin... i cant take all of the credit for it... my buddy billy posted it as a myspace bullitin, and i siply copyed and pasted, and he did the same...

[bleh]

mrdevious.



i honestly admire the fact that you gave feedback to every idea that was thrown out.

[Nodnorb]

and legends of the hidden temple where the Mayan guys would jump out and start fondling the kids getting the monkey head

HAHAHA i thought i was going to die when i read this but yea thats what they did and nobody ever said anything

[BabySnookums]

Kids were into M.A.S.H.? Or am I missing something?

not mash the movie/tv show....it was where you wrote mash at the top of a piece of paper....(mansion apartment shack house) and wrote 3 ppl you had a crush on, 3 vehicles, 3 jobs, 3 numbers (for amount of children) etc etc...then you drew a spiral, and counted the number of lines you went around...and then you went thru the whole paper counting that number and when you got to the last one, you marked it out...till only 1 choice outta each section was left....(example: you live in a mansion, married to "so and so", have 5 kids, drive a VW beetle, and work as a burger flipper at mcdonalds)

thats what M.A.S.H. kids were into...although i was one of the weird kids...i played the game on paper, but also liked the old tv show

[RIP ODB]

This thread is awesome.

Anyone remember Goosebumps, those kiddie-horror books by RL Stein?
Nickelodeon GUTS?

There are a lot of things mentioned on this thread that I hadn't thought about in YEARS.

Awesome.
