The 80s was the greatest decade ever

[KDeen10]

Great 80's thread. I'd have to say I miss 1990 91 and 92. Turning point... Pearl Jam... Stone Temple Pilots.... Smashing Pumpkins. Amazing music.

The racist commercials were the best

The racist commercials were the best

When I was a kid, Mr. Peabody and Sherman was one of my favorite cartoons. The accents were pretty hilarious. I don't think it would go over too well these days.

Pass the old El Paso! Taste the old Southwest! Pass the old El Paso! taste our very best!

Nobody bakes a kake as tasty as a tastykake!

and of course Prell puts the OOOOHHH in Shampoo!

Toni Basil was kinda cute bouncing around in her cheerleader uniform in this total 80's bubble gum song music video. It was a big hit. One hit wonder! She was probably a fire ball in the bed. Total spinner (spinher)

when you watch this video in 1080HD (unless it got deleted) pause at 1:46 and watch on fullscreen mode! you can see Toni Basil's hairy pubes peeking out on both sides of her crotch region as she kicks her leg high up in the air!

3 channels to watch. I would listen to my Twins on the Radio. Fuk I am old.

What the hell is wrong with me. I'm looking at this like I'm back in the day checking out the National Geographic for some of that Tribal Titty. Except this time I'm too old to rub one out.

You are not old. The word is matured. I cut the cable about 5 years ago and never regretted that decision. Fuk tv. You can easily tune into espn or any other sports channel on your iphone. kids today have no idea... we had to get the odds and/or wager by pay telephone. Then drive to the highest hill to listen to am radio fading in and out between buds and beers. THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!!

My buddy FH, used to sweat out the Red Sox games by getting the Sporting news and going over past games one by one, inning by inning.

No radio was the worst when traveling.

No west coast games could make the morning paper.

Hating Howard Cosell was a thing. I never got that. Howards interview with Ali were the best

His interviews WERE great. But how he treated people to get those interviews was appalling. He came into my stall at Pimlico when I was saddling my horse on Preakness day 1977 and when Shoemaker, who was going to ride my horse, came over to talk to me, Cosell stepped in front of me with his mic and camera crew and would not get out of my way. As a result, I had about 10 seconds to talk to Shoe before he got on my 2-5 shot to race. I did not get to tell him anything about the horses likes and dislikes. Long story short, shoe put him exactly where he did NOT want to be and got beat. Ran 5th out of 6. Won 3 out of his next 4 races with Maryland riders. Horses name was Go Bet if you want to check Equibase.com.
Cosell was an arrogant prick to me. Shoe apologized for him afterwards saying something like " he can be pushy sometimes". That was real nice of him but man did that suck. I wanted to win a race with Shoe riding my horse soooo bad. Never got another chance.

Yes I was in my early 20's and very young, but all the more reason to try and show at least an ounce of class whether you actually had it or not. The race was bad enough but it ruined Monday night football for me until he left the booth. Couldn't stand that big, tall, condescending jerk after that.
But other than that, he was alright I guess. Lol.

Killer tune from an iconic 80's band.

[JohnGalt2341]

You're probably familiar with the band The Lemonheads, but what you might not know is, they put out 3 albums in the 1980's. Their first 4 albums are definitely my favorite of their work. Here's an under appreciated song from 1988. Anyone know what the first 12 seconds is from?

[stevenash]

Lemonheads were great, so were Replacements.

[JohnGalt2341]

Indeed! I love The Replacements!!

Lot's of memorable historical events occurred in the 80's:

Eruption of MT. St. Helens (1980)
Lady Diana and Prince Charles wedding (1981)
Iran Hostage crisis (1981)
Falkland Wars (1982)
Space Shuttle Challenger blowing up (1986)
Chernobyl Nuclear disaster (1986)
Berlin Wall coming down (1989)
Exxon Valdez oil spill (1989)

those are just off the top of my head...I'm pretty sure there are a few others as well.

Now in the sports world...

Miracle on Ice (1980)
49'ers winning four Super Bowls (80's accomplishment)
George Brett's pine tar incident (1983)

Lakerboy mentioned several others as well


and let's not forget Lee Elia's epic rant (1983)...Arguably the most profanity laced rant of all-time by an MLB manager during the season! He called the fans a bunch of goddamn unemployed bums and fukkin' coksukkers! LMAO! I'll never forget my dad in tears from laughing so hard!
