Nostalgia Game

[Elusive]

The game is very simple. Just post some things to really engage at the nostalgic feeling. Be it pictures or phrases or whatever. Keep the endorphins running.

It can be vague or not. Doesn't matter. Someone will gasp in awe on their own eventually.

Bananas in pajamas.

Canada most like likely took it and that's how I remember it. Them being French, it was probably bopped around heavily.

It was also one of those super edgy 90s kids shows. Mine was dubbed into finnish as well so I can only assume it was even worse for me as they had to try to localize the edginess. But it had motorcycles in it. And an evil dude named Lawrence Loctavius Limburger.

Everywhere has bananas in pyjamas apparently. We had it in Canada. My wife lived in Saudi and she got it here too.

Reminds me of a very specific block of cartoons…

I think there were others that were blocked in with them, but I’m drawing a blank.

I forced my wife to watch a bunch of these with me. They still make new ones occasionally and damn if some of them don't bring a tear to my eye, man.

Realizing now they are brother and sister so that's kinda weird, but wanted a way to segue to it

It's funny because these things are burned into the brains of every Canadian that grew up in the 80s to the 2000s. But everyone else is like dafuq is that

That's what I used to find that gif. I was hoping for one of the hockey scenes but figured that would work fine.

Nice.

Speaking of beers referencing the Canadian cultural zeitgeist, found this one a few years back which fits with the Bob and Doug/Strange Brew discussions too.

I didn't watch much TV as a kid, so nostalgia for me is more this.

This was the proper response to Ducktails. The only theme song that measures up to the "why you slap so hard, child cartoon theme song?"

Here's a few I just saw on another website that felt nostalgic to me.


My dad and I always competed for the highest score.


(Although that doesn't appear to be a real map.)



I remember arguing with the librarian about whether these books were worth stocking.



I dropped a CD player onto my bed from a three inch height and it broke. I'm still mad.

Littlest Hobo is actually on one of the TV channels we get, so I tried to show my son. He was not interested, which I was like "HOW DARE YOU" but also like I kind of get why it wouldn't connect.

Have you seen there is a new Mr. Dressup documentary on Prime? I want to watch it, but I know it's gonna hit me hard in the feels

Damn, it's STILL playing? I get why he wouldn't like it -- the dog was the best actor in the whole series. But yeah it holds a special place in my heart, being pretty much the only show that would be on TV at certain times.

Have you seen there is a new Mr. Dressup documentary on Prime?

Mr. Dress up was more my brother's generation... I never really saw him much on TV growing up, unfortunately. I kinda want to watch the doc though.

Fraggle Rock was da shit. Dubbed to swedish of course.
