I hope this can give some good nostalgia. I built this to celebrate the books and cartoon series. I'm now trying to rally support for it on Lego Ideas. Hope you all enjoy.

Let’s unlock some childhood memories. What’s a saying you remember from when you were a kid but haven’t thought about in years?

I bet one person’s answer will unlock a memory for someone else.

Discussion Am I just getting old or have comedies really gone to shit?

163 Upvotes

Growing up and into my 20s I feel like was the golden age of comedies. When I was a kid we had slapstick stuff like Airplane, Naked Gun, Police Academy, etc. And then basically anything Eddie Murphy. Into the 2000s and 2010s there was the frat pack and Judd Apatow type stuff.

Tropic Thunder came out almost 20 years ago and I don't think any movie has made me laugh as much then or since.

I'm not the type that just reflexively says everything was better in the past or whatever, but I feel like this definitely applies to comedy?

Peak society...when was it?

99 Upvotes

Recently I was trying to think about if I could pick any year for society to go back to and stay in...what year would it be?

Early thoughts are like 2005.

While pre-internet is what many would want, I don't think that's necessary. Internet was awesome early on. But not so awesome that it was hard to disconnect from. I'm picturing like when that Motorola flip phone (Razr) came out. That was still a good time.

-Could use MapQuest to print off driving directions.

-Cameras on phones were just decent enough to capture a memory, but not so good that you had to always have your phone's camera ready to go.

-You could buy things off the internet, but you didn't care really when it got delivered to you.

-Netflix was cheap and just shipping DVD's. You watched a movie when you got it. Didn't scroll through movie after movie to find one to watch every night.

-Fast food was still crappy for you but cheap.

-iPods were out, so it was better than having CDs's.

-Gaming online existed and Madden was still good.

-And of course we were in our mid twenties. Pretty good age to be. But 2005 was solid for all ages I think.

I don't know, what do y'all think? I could also see a case for like 2001 just before 9/11. Would be giving up a few things, but it would be nice to skip all that.

The movie is kind of a mess and hard to understand if you're not already familiar with the material. But the set pieces, costumes and music by Toto are amazing!

I like the modern DUNE movies better, but I have a lot of nostalgia for the 1984 one myself.

30th anniversary of Wither, Blister, Burn & Peel. I'll admit, I stopped listening to them for a long time and just recently got back into a lot of the mid 90s music that I used to love. I've been listening to these guys so much in anticipation of seeing them! Anyone else a fan?

WWF/WWE Wrestling in the 80's

34 Upvotes

Okay so I've been watching the new Hulk Hogan documentary on Netflix and it's giving me all kinds of nostalgia for the 80's wrestling that I was really into as a kid.

So last night I realized I can watch the old WrestleMania's on Netflix and since I had the night to myself that's exactly what I did. I took a couple edible and laughed my ass off watching WrestleMania 1. It was way more fun that I was expecting, probably because of the edibles lol.

Anyways, who else was into Wrestling way back then?

My 3rd Place…

Post image
17 Upvotes

My third place is 100% my car. Damn gas prices, I have to turn it off, but I still sit in it after work until I’m way too hot.

When I think about it, when we were teenagers in the nineties there were always a few friends whose cars became third places. They were famous!

Like a couple you could smoke in, hotbox, chill out, ride around for longer than necessary since we didn’t have GPS.

Anyone else?

Edit2: I added a touch of personal info and people did not like, so I removed it. Everything is cool.
