You know you are a child of the 80s when

Postby WG_Writer » Thu Jul 12, 2007 10:16 pm

Basically this thread for any jokes that are based on something that a child of the 80s would be likely to get with minimal explaination. It can be a web site, web comic, simple line gage. anything. I would like to keep it to child of the 80s but if you must post something different then go ahead. I would really prefer just 80s retro jokes, such as this one.

When all those rebroadcasted movies that were made during the 80s give you that 'nostalgic' feeling

If you can name more than 3 smurfs or know shows like M.A.S.K. or A.L.F. and can say what the letters in it stand for.

When you see that NBC is bringing back the Bionic woman and remember how you wished to be with her/like her back then.

or that Arcee and Spike's son became a headmaster team :lol:

Won't you mean M.A.S.H.? Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, IIRC?

And ALF, heh... That's an easy one: Alien Life Form. :)

Flamingo Road, Dallas, Falcon Crest? (urk) The Love Boat?

M.A.S.K. is more obscure and was only on TV in the 80's to my knowledge. Same with Monster Machines. Both are cartoons that were fun in their own way. And if you know them then you more or less had to be a Child of the 80's Same with JEM and the Hollograms.

I think M.A.S.K. means,
Mobile Armor Strike Kommand.

Did I get it right, Did I win a Cookie?

Well, I'm a child of the 90's, but I guess I'll give this a shot...

You know you are a child of the 80s if you know that There Can Only Be One.
