Oh, Those Awful Early '90s

If the seventies was the eighties' dad when he was cool, then the early '90s was his idiot son. The Gay '90s wasn't just in the 1800s. The Gay 1890s were called that because everyone was happy, but the Gay 1990s earned that moniker because they were fucking gay. Most things were pretty stupid in the early '90s. There was some cool stuff, but the shitty shit was so shitty that it overshadowed the good shit. The were neon pink splats on everything and that spider web stuff certainly didn't look good. Nobody could decide what the '90s was going to be like at the time, so people were basically throwing stuff against the wall to see if it would stick. The worst part was that people started wearing combat boots and growing awful haircuts. Aren't YOU ashamed of what you did back then?

 

Very bad things from the early '90s

Good things from the early '90s

I do infomercials for a living

One of the biggest laughingstocks of the early '90s was M.C. Hammer. Many remember his Taco Bell commercial where he and his entourage jumped off of the top of a building only to have their monstrous pants act as parachutes and save their lives. This commercial alone is enough to satirize fashion trends of the '90s. Unfortunately, his baggy pants caught on with the kids and set a fashion trend for the rest of the decade. Yes, it was all his fault.

Go ninja, go ninja, go ninja, go! Ninja, ninja, rap!

Vanilla Ice was not a three-time AMA National Motocross champion and he never rode for Team Honda. Unfortunately, he said otherwise. Keep track of him with Ice Watch.

C&C burn in hell now!

There is nothing that I hated more than C and C Music Factory in the early '90s. Well, maybe Darkwing Duck.

I want you to sit down and think. Close your eyes and try to imagine the exact opposite of heavy metal. I'll help you out: IT'S FUCKING KRISS KROSS!

I don't like stuff that make you think

Twin Peaks made about as much sense as those 2000-2001 Dennis Miller Monday Night Football quotes. "That receiver was going about as fast as Walter Mitty driving Mae West to see an Stoterologist about her Poughqipsoid Seizures. We need passer/receiver equilibrium Mr. C-minus in Microeconomics 115!" It kind of sucks without him around.

If somebody likes this guy, there is no way that they are not an idiot.

Billy Ray Cyrus hasn't sold out, cut his mullet or conformed to the mainstream. That's commendable, but since he is lame it is a moot point. It sucks donkey dick that I live so close to the to the Billy Ray Cyrus Freeway.

It's everything you ever wanted in an Early '90s MX Gear Hate Page and more.

My Early '90s Motocross Gear Hate Page gives another example of how the early '90s sucked.

Alice In Chains made some of the doomiest music in America's history. They will teach you to stay the fuck away from heroin.

One hell of a band

What is the deal with the early '90s? Why did everyone dress so stupid? Did they know that there were other clothes out there?

Seinfeld was one of the most entertaining shows ever. It may have kept me from commiting suicide during "The Dark Times".

Crusty old early-'90s bastards may remember how much controversy Bart generated when The Simpsons first came on. That's how dumb people were.

Watch out for those horrible early episodes with black Smithers and Bart saying "Eat my shorts! " all the time.  There were too many "Lisa shows", everyone looked funny and Homer sounded like he was choking on his own puke. Those episodes belong in the other column.

Gay movie critics? Who would have thought?

In Living Color made my ass fall off on several occasions and was always there for some good entertainment. Every once in a while, though, these nasty early '90s chicks would come out wearing ugly early '90s clothes and do some stupid early '90s dance to some crappy early '90s dance song (see "Everybody Dance Now," "Whoomp! There It Is," "The Humpty Dance".) That part was painful, but we survived.

Watch just one episode of this show and you'll discover how much that the plague called Anime has screwed up cartoons today. Cartoons before Anime=cool after=virtually unwatchable.

Time for an early '90s flashback: I remember arriving home from middle school each day and enjoying the Turtles. It was the only alternative to the totalitarian regime known as the "Disney Afternoon." I never really realized how shitty the Disney Afternoon shows (except DuckTales to some extent) were until they recently started showing them again on Toon Disney. They are fucking awful. The music is so overly orchestrated and pretentious that it makes you want to die. It is almost impossible to laugh during them because they don't have any jokes. They're basically "watch a bunch of animals do shit" shows. That's not TV, that's the zoo. Thank God for TMNT.

Everybody hated the purple and lavander buttons on the paddles, yet we bought them anyway.

It is quite insulting to see large retailers try to unload old used Super Nintendo tapes for $20 these days when they're all over flea markets for $1.50. The ultimate solution is to download zSNES.

Scary fast

GMC Syclone/Typhoon: kill them in style

Smile, you're going back to the '80s
