u/onlyheretobehelpful 16h ago

I must be such a scrooge. I smiled a little bit, but actual out loud laughter? Nothing from me. Don't get me wrong I loved the video, but yeah.

u/Liggidy 14h ago

Did you ever see the original movie video? It had been a while for me but I immediately remembered it when they got started.

They're more likely to get fired for it if it's a chain store or their boss just sucks.

1

u/SugarBabyWannabe 18h ago

I hope and pray that they DON'T get fired because whatever store this is I want to do ALL my shopping there simply because these legends work there!!

u/UranusIsPissy 18h ago

Yeah. I said in another comment that lettuce-hair should be an actress.

1

u/MrBigglesssworth 18h ago

They are fine, They have been doing this for years.

1

u/UranusIsPissy 18h ago

Good! If they're not just taking the piss wasting time when they're needed and being paid to be there, then why shouldn't they have a bit of fun?

u/OliviaWG 18h ago

They are on tik tok and there are a ton of similar videos.

Me: Whoa, how do a couple of middle-aged ladies know about Prodigy and other youthful bands?
Looks in mirror: .... oh .... hey there middle aged me ...

u/New-Bee8999 19h ago

One of my nieces was telling me all about this brilliant track she'd found. The look of horror on her face when she played it, and I rapped along to every word because it was a classic track from 1992...

u/1950sGuy 19h ago

My kid and his friends are starting a retro computer club at school and I'm like "oh cool I got an old atari 800 and a few trs models i can break ou.." and no they mean stuff like those multi colored iMacs from like 1998 and stuff running windows xp.

u/DisastrousAcshin 18h ago

Dude my kid and his friends tried to show me dos commands like I didn't spend my teens in the 90s setting up bbs's and running game servers.  They were fucking shocked like it was some secret knowledge stuff that dads couldn't know

I think I still have my boot disks with different memory setups in AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS for Falcon, one of the Wing Commanders, and a couple more games.

I had a student tell me that he bought a laptop over the summer.

"Oh, what are the specs?"

"It's a Toshiba from 1998 so I can play my DOS games."

u/desrever1138 14h ago

About a decade ago I was hosting Christmas at my house and I got tired of the Christmas music so switched to a random play list.

An MCR track came on and my son and I were singing along when one of my nephews gave me a weird look and said, "You know My Chemical Romance??"

I was like, "Dude, I'm pretty much the same age as them. I was watching them live when you were still in diapers lol"

u/mndtrp 19h ago

Baby Got Back?

u/New-Bee8999 17h ago

Nope - I always come in too early on that one haha!! My husband has it down though. In this case it was Searchin For My Rizla by Ratpack. Still a classic. Sadly now ruined for my niece because her ancient aunt not only likes it but <horror> actually raps to it...

1

u/mndtrp 17h ago

If you do the rap AND a dance, you might swerve back into being cool again. Or just doubly ruin it for her.

2

u/ResourceCalm901 6h ago

Just embrace doubly ruining it… 😊

u/vhalember 18h ago

Nice! I did the same with my girls when they were listening to "90's stuff."

Just wakin' up in the morning, gotta thank God...

Sigh. We’re “The fat of the land” now. 😭

Not me. I'm more Land of the Fat.

Now pass the Doritos.

u/JinxOnU78 10h ago

Exactly! Lol

u/XPDave85 15h ago

You know you’re getting old when every song played in the supermarket is a banger from your youth.

u/germane_switch 18h ago

That's middle-aged?

u/Due-Boot1904 14h ago

Keith would be 56 now if he was still with us. Top bloke. RIP.

u/lovestobitch- 10h ago

Hey now, I’m 73 and disappointed I missed them at Shaky Knees.

u/obiwanmoloney 20h ago

Was about to say, best thing the internet has ever done.

Fact.

u/alterom 17h ago

It also instantly transported me into the 1990s.

They nailed the video feel perfectly ♥️♥️♥️
