The fact that Tonya had trouble with her laces on her ice skates honestly sounds like Karma for what she allegedly planned to do, and Nancy made a performance for the ages (I’ll say this she should’ve gotten the gold to cap off the incredible comeback story)

[@coastiewoody]

If you actually watched them back then, Tonya was the better skater during all of the practices and run-ups to the Olympics. But, she was poor, so she didn't look as pretty as the others. She got docked a lot because of that. Nancy was great, too, so don't twist my words. With all that said, none of what happened should have happened, and you're definitely right about karma. It was certainly deserved that she didn't place. All she had to do was skate. Not fight or injure another person. That's just pathetic.

18:34 Kurt Cobains death wasn’t technically the end of a movement. It was the beginning of the end sure for the grunge genre but the final nail in the coffin didn’t come until 1996 when Soundgarden broke up. Common misconception

[@scottjung1988]

Elyse is one of the funniest people on the planet. I loved Funhaus. It was a great to see her again.

[@matthewavery2934]

I’ll always miss Funhaus but it’s nice seeing Elyse featured on other channels! 😇

[@SpinX522]

For the record, there is no such thing as non gmo fruits and vegetables today. Here's why, people have been crossbreeding plants pretty much for as long as people have been farming. The resulting crossbreed is a GMO. The difference is with today's technology we can do it much more accurately where as in the old fashion way was basically a toss up as to whether or not it would produce anything viable.

[@holistic.health]

Also unfortunately the technology ones are also more deadly than the naturally modified ones...

9:14 There used to be a Rainforest Cafe at the mall I used to work at & they closed it down almost a decade ago & now a furniture store is in its place. I don’t miss the food but I miss the ambiance of that place.

As a Millennial born in 1990, this makes me feel so old. Age 3-4 is when my memories start to become clear, so it’s crazy to think these are 30…wow! 😂

I'll never forget the OJ chase because it the exact day of my high school graduation - June 17, '94. We were almost late because my sister was watching it on tv and didn't want to leave the house.

[@EmoNemo4433]

Trying to explain the 90’s to someone who never experienced the 90’s is impossible. Life was such a different thing back then. Everyone was happy. Everyone was optimistic of the future. Genuinely say it was the generation to grow up in.

[@lessismore8533]

Agree I’m born 91! But still wish I was born in ‘85 to get the full experience..

[@brentottoson6974]

My wife and I carpooled back then. We had gotten off the freeway and went to a restaurant. While waiting in the bar we watched on TV as a white Bronco slowly drove past the offramp we had just gotten off. Surreal to say the least.

[@BellJarBoy]

Elyse! I was hoping since we got James that we’d see her eventually. The world needs more exposure to her (preferably in Avatar cosplay or as Colonel Sanders, when she’s at her peak!)

[@BowlOfApples]

This world straight up needs more Willems'

[@scottjung1988]

Based solely on the smell of her cooch pooch, we need less of her Avatar cosplay.

I do love the classic comedy known as Forrest Gump. And the scene in Lion King where Mufasa dies has me in stitches. She seriously said that it wasn't the only comedy released in 1994, and then proceeds to list 1 comedy among the 5 movies. Lion King arguably could be called a comedy but I don't consider it on the same level as something like Ace ventura

The Lion King came out not long after my maternal grandma's passing so yeah that death scene hit me HARD (I was 12). You could hear crying throughout the theater too. Thank goodness the movie has a lot of funny and epic moments.
