1980s Redux Photo Gallery

Oil price spike-severe recession-new president upon whom a nation pins its hopes-

peroxided hair?-breakdancing?-cheap vinyl upholstery that cracks from exposure to intense sunlight?-?

Post other horrors from the material decade, so that younger more impressionable members of our forum might not disbelieve the nightmares that could well unfold. Pop open a can of New Coke and slip a tape into the Walkman for desired effect.

Joe Montana. I figured Doug Flutie but I'm not big on sports.

First whiff of Tim Allen for me was on one of Rodney Dangerfield Young Comedians Specials. "Men are apes...guh, guh, guh..." Funny but even better was David Sleaze Punk Magician. (profanity alert) "It's magic! I'm fooling ya' and ya' don't like it!" Those shows were a real riot.

Remember how bad the controllers on these things sucked?

Not that the Ataris were any improvement. We used to have to resort to just dissembling them and pushing the buttons that the joystick was supposed to control.

That RhettandLink video is, like, totally awesome. Only thing missing is a drummer pointing his sticks at the camera. They flashed a 2600 joystick of course. Also a Rubik's Snake, had completely forgotten about that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')ou guys are depressing me.


Were you a Dio fan? I'd be depressed too! :P

TheDude - Is that the comedian that used to do the act "Look it's a little dead bunny rabbit - f*ck YOU!!!!"?

The whole act seemed to be telling people to eff off, but it was funny.
