I Wish We Could Go Back To the 80s

It was so much fun. For proof positive, watch this awesome video:

http://xehirut.gamerforums.org/MiscFiles/MarioOnIce.mov

1. The Mario Brothers. On ice.
2. Freakouts over Nintendo.
3. Cheese cheese cheese.
4. Alyssa Milano, cute as a button during her Danza Days.
5. Jason Bateman, such an adorkable cutie pie.

I need this video. I'll trade someone a Teddy Ruxpin tape and a Shrinky Dinks kit for it.

You wouldn't be saying that if you had watched the video. Tsk tsk.

"Look...Nintendo! You've never played video games until you've played with the Video Game Prince."

And....Mr. Belvedere!

I could only bear to watch about half of it. Bizarre, because I have plenty of love for nintendo and Mr Belvedere yet this was just sooooo bad. And viewing the intro has shaken the foundation of my current crush on Jason Batemen.

Don't shame me any more than I already am for loving it so much that I played it three times!!

Did you used to have fun just saying Mr. Belvedere's name when you were a kid? I used to giggle like a little idiot just saying Lynn Aloysius Belvedere aloud.

It completely reinforced mine.

Ohhhhh nooooooo, how can you say that?? "Look Alyssa, its the Koopa Koopas" and "What, you mean to tell me you've NEVER played Nintendo before?" Gad.

Just when I had nearly erased all memories of Silver Spoons and the Hogan Family, YOU PULL ME BACK IN.

I looooooooooooved it. His voice was so high-pitched and adorkable.

Don't you mean Valerievaleriesfamilythehoganfamily? That show had so many incarnations that a young boy could NOT keep up. Sandy Duncan bugged, though, and the finale was so depressing. AIDS? Nice way to end it, bitches.

And you totally reminded me of the Boy Scouts episode of Silver Spoons. Teenage Bateman, Ricky Schroder, and Alfonso Ribiero, all in crotch-cutting Scouts shorts. It's funny to this day. I want the DVDs.

Would you be terribly jealous of me if I told you I had this on tape?

Whoa, what now? Did SandyDuncanValerieHogan's character get the AIDS?
Please refresh the memory!

Oh and Alphonso Ribiera - toooooootally. I love how he always plays the douche. Gotta wonder what that does to the ego.

Oh, and if you really want the 80's back, then check this sh*t out!!!!

Insanely jealous.

Just in case it makes you a little jealous of me, I have this on tape:

Naw, Sandy Dunce didn't get AIDS (that would have been unintentionally hilarious). Bateman's best friend (I think his name was Rich) got AIDS. It was such a downer and such a ****ty way to send off the show. I am an unabashed Valerievaleriesfamilythehoganfamily fan, but hoo boy, that finale stunk. In retrospect, I think the writers were a little masochistic. The episode after Valerie died, they had the house catch on fire.

Haha! All I can think of is his stupid Carlton dance. That man was whack.

OMFG! I lost it as soon as the tempo picked up. It even has Skeletor! I so want to sit Linda Perry down and make her watch it.

Bless you for that!

And what, the family dog got rabies and needed to be shot? Papa Hogan gets an inoperable brain tumour? Sitcoms can't end on an AIDS note, people!!!! Jesus!

Me too! Believe it or not, I watched a bit of it last night when I was rummaging around my old tape collection, trying to see if there was anything I could tape over. I'm totally going to watch this now. That roller coaster thing was crazy. Great, there go my plans to get an early (read: before 5 AM) night!
