Trip Down Memory Lane!

[ASR]

Haha, yeah. I saw that. Fantastic stuff.

[Edgecrusher]

Oh lord.

That brings back memories.

[Orange Devil]

Man, I wish those links worked.

[Chron]

Weird, it's not even on the Wayback Machine.

[Speed Racer]

That movie gets away with so much ##### Nick would never allow nowadays.

Nick is so weird. Every time I think "there's so much ##### that they used to air that they would never get away with anymore", like the stuff on Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life (Chokey Chicken, anyone?), All That, etc., they surprise me a bit. I was watching Fairly Oddparents before I went to bed (I work nights), and they got away with a masturbation joke.

Still, nothing beats Salute Your Shorts. Of all the jokes and sight gags that they got away with, my favorite was the one where the kid was reading "The Best Dirty Jokes from World War II".

[ASR]

Haha. What was the masturbation joke on Fairly Oddparents?

I think my favorite line from Good Burger is after Dexter tells Ed they aren't partners anymore, and Ed asks "Is it because I'm black?"

[Johncarllos]

Never forget that Angry Beavers episode about "tail slapping" that is just a huge metaphor for wacking off, I think they used that line in the episode too.

[Speed Racer]

Haha. What was the masturbation joke on Fairly Oddparents?

It went something like this. The parents were sitting in front of the TV watching some show, kind of like Dr. Phil.

Dr. Phil: Parents, does your child use large amounts of paper towels every day?
*Timmy runs by them with a roll of paper towels*
Dr. Phil: Parents, does your child lock his door often and then when you call him, say "Um, I'm busy!"?
Parents: Timmy?
Timmy: Um, I'm busy!
Dr. Phil: If your child does it, then he is a bad child! And you are BAD PARENTS.

[ASR]

Ahahaha, wonderful.

On a related note, this one girl I'm friends with is like, you know that type of girl who loves and is obsessed with Invader Zim. You know, the same type of girl that has Nightmare Before Christmas memorized and thinks Donnie Darko is their own personal bible.

Except, by some odd stroke of crazy, she'd never seen Invader Zim before. But I know that type of girl.

So, yeah, I show her one episode and now she's constantly knocking at my door to watch more episodes and I honestly forgot how brilliant Invader Zim was.

I mean, it's always been my favorite Nicktoon, just barely ahead of Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy, and I love it to death, but it's been years since I last watched them all.

Last Zim marathon I had was when I bought the DVD's.

So, anyway, my point is: Zim still rocks.

[Mikero]

I know THAT girl exactly. I even imagined her Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie/bag before I read that part.

I found a Rocko's Modern Life comic at the store a couple weeks ago and put it in my drawer. I have yet to read it.

I haven't watched ZIM since Winamp TV first came out.

[Chron]

THAT girl is one of my friends, yo.

But personally I've always liked Rocko and Hey Arnold best.
Not sure why I liked Hey Arnold. I just did.

Zim's got great moments though.

[ASR]

The Halloween episode is still my favorite.

[von Teelio]

Ahh, I remember that comic cartoon show Kablam! T'was my favorite show as a kid.

ACTION LEAGUE.

NOW!

[ASR]

Action League NOW! was the best part of Kablam.

Also Prometheus and Bob.

[Orange Devil]

This was probably my favorite trip down memory lane.

[Mikero]

And what a trip.

[Speed Racer]

Ahh, I remember that comic cartoon show Kablam! T'was my favorite show as a kid.

ACTION LEAGUE.

NOW!

Action League Now was okay in small doses; when they got their own show, I couldn't watch it. Prometheus and Bob, on the other hand, is #####ing classic.

[ASR]

I never knew Action League Now got its own show.

The BEST Trix commercial EVER.

[Mikero]

Actually it's not a Trix commercial. It's a Cheerios, Trix, Wheaties, and Milk commercial in that order. But man, I can't believe I forgot about that one!

[ASR]

It's the penultimate mondo-conglomerate multi-cereal/milk combo commercial.

[Mikero]

I see no Honeycomb, Cap'N Crunch, or Raisin Bran in there, so it cannot be the penultimate. But pretty close.

[ASR]

The closest.

[ChaosVortex]

I haven't had Honeycomb in years. Dang. I miss it.

I never knew Action League Now got its own show.

The BEST Trix commercial EVER.

That was excellent.

This was on the related video section: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJwFUNHtCJQ

This was my favorite Got Milk commercial, for obvious reasons.

[ASR]

Haha, I remember that Mario one. I loved it.

[MOX]

I just got hit by the NOSTALGIA TRUCK

[Vinchenz Rock]

I never had Trix before.

I always hated that Mario level.

[Chron]

Trix good. I don't think I ever saw that commercial, but I made me laugh out loud.
i lol'd
i never do that

Probably the expression on the rabbit's face what did it.

Personally I only eat raisin bran and cheerios, and even then only on rare occasion that there are no eggs to cook.

[Orange Devil]

I remember the mario one. I remember thinking This is STUPID. That level is SO easy.

[Mikero]

Those kids are morons. Video games aren't even hard for kids. It's like how kids can use a computer right out of the box and their parents are like "Hein?!" It's their blood and their generation and their fuel and their waste and their all. It's the same reason we all had Blastoise (if you were cool) or Charizard (if you were trendy) or Venesaur (if you were THAT guy) the morning after the NIGHT we got Pokemon Red (if you were cool) or blue (if you were just OK).

And FURTHERMORE that wasn't even a hard part of the game. Proven by the fact that they left and Mario just did it on his own.

Anyway Raisin Bran is the bomb diggity of cereals and if you disagree you clearly haven't tried it and are also probably some sort of neo-NAZI.

[ASR]

I was a Venusaur guy, but in my defense, I literally only did it because I like green.

[Johncarllos]

I lost my taste for Raisin Bran after having it almost every day of school last year.

[Chron]

Blastoise, and I had Pokemon Blue, but I never particularly cared one way or another because I was too busy being way more awesome than anyone else.

I had Super Mario Land 2, and I let everyone know it.

[Mikero]

Blastoise, and I had Pokemon Blue, but I never particularly cared one way or another because I was too busy being way more awesome than anyone else.

Except me, because I was Blastoise and Pokemon Red like a REAL Pokemon Masterrrrrrrrrr!

[Chron]

I've never really understood why people who had Red version thought it was so much better than Blue.

It's the same damn game, and both are easily completable with just the starter Pokeman.

[Mikero]

Well, most tend to think the wild Pokemon in it were better compared to the different ones from Blue. I tend to agree, but I mostly only hype Red because it's the one I had. Pure bias. Also like EVERYONE had Blue here, and I was one of few kids with Red, so anytime someone needed Red stuff they'd come to me (actually, the other kids in my class with Red copied me later on...).

So yeah...

[Chron]

And I was in the opposite situation. In fact, in most situations I was the only one with Blue.

Of course, I was an asshole and would play SML2 instead of trading anything.
"DUDE DO YOU WANT A-"
"No, I'm good. I already have that one."
"BUT I NEED A-"
"Oh, wow, look at that coin! Do you see that coin? It's silver, man.
A silver coin.
With a pumpkin on it.
That coin is awesome."
"... but-"
"Such an awesome coin."

[Mikero]

Damn.

That is cool.

[Orange Devil]

What's SML2?

[Chron]

Only one of the most awesome Game Boy games ever.

[ASR]

Still one of my favorites.

But EVERYBODY had it, how were you the only kid with it?

[Johncarllos]

I HAD THAT GAME!

I REMEMBER THE MACRO ZONE IT WAS AWESOME.

[Chron]

Macro Zone < Space Zone

All pale in comparison with the awesome final level though.

Still one of my favorites.

But EVERYBODY had it, how were you the only kid with it?

Oh nonononono, I was the only kid with Pokeymans Blue, but not always.
Everyone had SML2.

[ASR]

The ants in those games remind me of Hornet Man.

Or rather, Hornet Man reminds me of the ants.

[Johncarllos]

I remember the space zone now.
That was swell.

[Chron]

The overworld tune is now stuck in my head.
It's like a symphony to my ears.

[ChaosVortex]

I never had Super Mario Land 2.

I had Super Mario Land 1.

It was alright.

Turtles explode.

[ASR]

SML1 is pretty lame on all counts.

[ChaosVortex]

If it's anything, I got it in a garage sale. >.>

[Chron]

SML1 has some nice music here and there, and you can see much farther to the left and right, but the controls and other things just generally make it sloppy.

The second game is better in every regard, and I highly recommend playing it if you can find it.

[Orange Devil]

I effing love Super Mario Land 2! I used to play it a ton when I was little, but I didn't beat it until last year. I got addicted for like a week. The final castle is actually pretty hard, but it's doable.
