The Nostalgia Thread

Archive: 26 posts


Come with me! Down OOOLD Memory Lane! Please stay in the vehicle, for God's sake, some parts of this road are hideously dangerous.

Find a video or an ad or a photo that bangs your nostalgia drum and post it. Some of us of similar ages may just discover an old gem or two. I'm a Reagan baby so most of mine will be late 80s/early 90s.
I'll get started with a couple short ones. You can post commercials, cartoon intros, whatever strikes your fancy.

This little girl goes from oat mealin' frumpy to strawberry-flavored-fabulous. Thanks Oatmeal Swirlers!

Good luck getting this one out of your head! JACK! JACK! He's a lego maniac!

This one for me was a serious find. I saw this PSA ALL THE TIME. Sorry this particular vid's incredibly quiet.

Hard to believe I've only heard this song once in my life (twice now with this video) and still remember it like it was yesterday.

Fraggle Rock has got to be my favorite show of all time. I even went as far as to have fraggle replicas made of Wembley and Red, and I made my own Boober.

And I LOOOOOVED M.A.S.K.

(yes, I know, I'm a girl, but I did love it!)

Truer words have never been spoken... yikes!

Edit: Dajdaj... I put your video as an embed. You just have to use [video] tags.

Thanks. I know about the [video] tags, but it's the author of the video on youtube, who didn't allow the embeding.

The video appears in the thread, but you can't play it here (message : embeding not activated on request)...
you can only watch it on Youtube!

Or is it just me...? Anyway, that's why I only put the link

Peewee's Playhouse. It's kind of like Mr Rogers on Jimmy Tango's Fatbusters.

Here are a couple for those who watched the BBC on Saturday mornings in the summer holidays back in the 1970s - The Flashing Blade and White Horses - though I'm probably the only one here who remembers them, lol!

Kinder Egg ad from early 80s, much more creepy and surreal than the often nonsensical plastic tat they contained!

'Monkey' tv show from the late 70's. This is still one of the best opening sequences to a TV show ive ever seen! and looking at it now I can still see why it blew my tiny mind back then when it cropped up on the BBC during a grey afternoon in Northern England.

How about the introduction of the power glove in The Wizard:

no, but we did get the Monkees tv show repeated on weekday mornings during school holidays, meaning I have a nostalgia for something that was more my folks generation - cross-chronological nostalgia?!

And Re 'The Power Glove' - Thats hillarious! Ive seen the future of gaming!!
was it me or did he tap out the Close Encounters tones on that thing - wireless arcade game controller and intergallactic communications device - if it can make toasties too im getting one!
and.. (theres so much in that one clip!!)... I thought Kevin Arnold was that age in the 60s? - does he never grow old!

There was a thread already so I didn't make a new one, just had to bump this...
Croc 2 was my first game that I got for christmas 1999, at the same time when we got the PlayStation, good times.
Listening to the music really brings up memories. I wouldn't want to play it, though... the levels are horribly hard, even now after over 10 years.

That song is pretty much the best game music ever, but please don't mention the level it is in... oh dear god no...

Ok get prepared! This song is serious nostalgiafest for me. It makes me laugh but like it's ridiculously catchy!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLoNan-ApcI

I don't remember it at all but the images of the dinosaurs stayed with me so yeah, this one must be from when i was very young.

There is one thing I cannot find for the life of me. It's stop motion claymation I think. Early 90s presumable. About a tower of some sort with monsters in the basement of something, ring any bells for anyone?
