You know you're old when the producers confidently get things wrong because they never experienced it either :D

[@courtney5796]

I have a curious question. Back in the day, did you EVER hear anyone refer to the game as "Mario Bros" or "Super Mario Bros"? I NEVER heard that (17 yrs old when NES came out). I always heard "Brothers". I hear Bros. all the time now when people reference them. It just sounds so odd. lol

[@crawfordjason]

@@courtney5796 Same, it was always “Super Mario” “Mario Brothers” or “Super Mario Brothers”, never bros. The only other difference was how people pronounced Mario, Mah-re-o vs Mary-o.

[@GaryTongue-zn5di]

@xdeathknightx The whole Title is wrong. Most of these aren't fads or trends!

[@GaryTongue-zn5di]

@courtney5796 It has always been spelt Bros. Idiots! It is just more common to be pronounced Brothers, and Mario Bros. And Super Mario Bros. Are two separate games.

[@paulfrank8738]

I was a teen in the 80s. Some of this stuff is inaccurate, and some of the slang and styles were regional or only used as a joke.

[@blowba]

That wasn't Jazzercise. That was Jane Fonda doing aerobics.

[@PeacefulVictorytoTruth]

lol.. I was waiting to see mousercise .. and having that be descripted as jazzercise...lol

[@crisl9079]

Lol, oh my gosh I had forgotten about Mousercise! We had Mousercise on record. I liked it but just listened to it more than exercised along with it-I was pretty little when it came out.

[@rockyroad7345]

Jane Fonda was doing aerobics. Jazzercise was a "brand" of dance aerobics that Jane Fonda had nothing to do with.

[@lipstickcloud]

The kids have really fun personalities here, so cute. Them know stuff from 4 or 5 decades before they were even born! As a kid in the 80's, I wouldn't have been able to name a bunch of stuff from the 30's and 40's, besides Laurel & Hardy. I'm generally impressed by kids and young adults today who can grow up in the crazy world we've created for them and be reasonably well adjusted. Thanks for giving them a supportive platform.

[@chadbusch8541]

Better access to info ya know?

[@UnrealDreamgirl]

The producer said "Indigo Montoya" for the record there's no 'd' it's "Inigo Montoya"

[@crisl9079]

I caught that too.

[@jzarbaugh]

According to the actual song “Valley Girl”, the term is “barf me out”. And it didn’t mean to freak out. It was something you said when you were grossed out. In the song it was followed by “gag me with a spoon”, which was similar.

[@stevenkaye1625]

Gotta give these kids credit -- they did pretty well!

That Jane Fonda exercise video was not Jazzercise. That’s called aerobics. I think Jazzercise was a franchise. They came out with new dance routines every few weeks.

[@corymiller536]

Because real millennials don't care for the 80s, 90s is the best decade

[@Shawn-rq4py]

13:37 My wife & I both grew up in the 80s & neither of us ever heard the term / slang “A Betty”.

[@Styxswimmer]

Good to know I'm not alone. I grew up in the 80s and never heard that.

[@GavinEhringer]

@@Styxswimmer It was West Coast surfer slang. Like, "Did you see her skate the pool? She's a shred Betty!" It sounded awkward, even when it was fresh...

I literally facepalmed when that girl said the Back To The Future poster was The Fast And The Furious.

[@brianbenoit6883]

Well..to be fair, since there's been like 20 of them, it's easy to think it might have started in the 80's

[@nathanpowell5941]

Loved the video. But those aren't parachute pants. Parachute pants were made from swishy nylon - like parachute material - and fit tighter, with a number of zippered pockets. The pants MC Hammer wore were harem or genie pants. And the loose-fitting, colorful pants in the still pic were jam pants (short for "pajama" I think). Credentials: born in 1975

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

Best way to describe parachute pants is like Michael Jackson’s red Thriller jacket, just as pants haha.

[@1981SamIAm]

“Like gag me with a spoon” is one of my fav 80 valley girl slangs

[@syntaxusdogmata3333]

Teddy Ruxbin was always creepy AF. And I can legitimately say I never heard a single soul say "cowabunga" in the '80s who wasn't a ninja turtle.

[@TheSteelOne]

FYI, we actually never said cowabunga. That was just a TMNT thing.

[@derbgentler3868]

Hans Moleman said it once. But that was in the 90s.

[@sasaro]

And an original Bart Simpson catchphrase.

[@TheSteelOne]

@@sasaro oh yeah! Good call! 😃

[@dawnofapril3055]

I did back in the day, but it was because I was a huge TMNT fan as a kid.

[@Jacob_Junge]

I think it originated as Californian surfer slang in the 50s or 60s, like 'gnarly'.

[@jb888888888]

- Windbreakers are literally timeless. They're just a light jacket. Saying windbreakers are "an 80s fashion" is like saying wearing shoes are a 20s fashion simply because Trump released some gold sneakers. - Walkman was preceded by the Panasonic Dynamite 8 track tape player "allowing you to listen to your music on the go."

[@NicoleHoltActress]

The excitement when the kids saw a walkman just cracked me up!

[@marinapappas5073]

As a teen in the 80s, this video was pure nostalgia for me. Definitely felt my age watching this! 😂

[@SeanOG88]

These kids are legit. I kinda wanna adopt them all! Fun episode!

[@DjVanillaGuerilla]

"And I give it to someone special" 💀. So happy Gina caught that right away lol

[@jcarterla]

Being a teen in the 80's was totally awesome! Fer shur! Our social media was the mall and actually social.

[@LordLOC]

Orange Julius baby! And Electronics Boutique and and Sear's and um, Sbarro's I guess lol man I can't remember any other stores from back then other than the stores that are still around I guess (sort of). Macy's and what not. King's Plaza in Brooklyn NY was my childhood spot. Had an awesome arcade back in the mid to late 80s, the food court was awesome and had a movie theater along with a Spencer's Gifts which as we all know as a kid you always go into the back of the store where they have the "special" products lol

[@songbird989]

Like it was totally awesome to the max fer shur! 😆😆

[@shallendor]

The 80's were the best time to be a teen!

[@Tirryna]

2:01 I don't remember calling them parachute pants. We all called them Hammer pants when I was a little kid. Parachute pants were what we called the huge-legged jeans in the late 90's.

[@dranet47]

Right, I caught that too. I remember Parachute pants were made of a specific material, the same or similar kind of nylon that parachutes and hot air balloons are made from. VERY noisy when you walk. Pretty sure hammer pants were stretchy cotton.

[@julianprice2632]

Parachute pants were mid 80s, not baggy AT ALL made of like a nylon type material and had a lot of zippers I had a red and Grey pair.

[@yostabbastabba1864]

Girl that almost said Megadeth because of Mustaine but then saw Lars and realized it was Metallica has been parented well.

[@Moveplaylift]

Pretty funny when they mistook a walkman for a VHS recorder hahaha

[@Dan-Black]

It kinda makes sense. If they've only seen them in pictures, they probably don't have much reference for scale, so a cassette is a cassette, whether it's VHS or audio. I'm impressed they got a lot of those at all, or even when they got it wrong but were still close.

[@phreak1118]

I am pretty impressed. These kids got way more than I thought they would.

[@carleton4199]

Gina looked at Amelie like she was crazy when Lionel Richie was on the screen. But Amelie was (accurately) describing the video for "Hello", she just couldn't remember Lionel's name.

[@occheermommy]

Thats what I came to say. She knew exactly.

[@Chatman666]

Specially for a kid nowadays, for her to remember an older video is awesome. 👏🏻

[@christianboehlefeld5168]

One thing I wish I'd kept was my parachute pants (NOT the harem pants that MC Hammer is wearing! Those are not parachute pants!) and my gray leg warmers.

[@titools4375]

I love the girl that recognized Dave Mustaine in the Metallica pic and then said "Metalhead right here" that was just awesome, and actually, I thought these Kids would be totally clueless about the 80's but they actually knew way more than I expected, ver well done, that's parenting done right!!

[@joshpogue379]

That totally blew my mind! Nobody I know would have known only fractions of the task. And she's put it all together. She's totally awesome!

[@curtyeomans8446]

Jane Fonda was her own exercise thing that was totally different from Jazzercise. An actual Jazzercise video from the 80s was insane because of the lady who was in all of them. It was also somewhat similar on a basic level to Beyoncé’s Single Ladies video

[@jimmymelendez1836]

What does Beyonce's Single Ladies(Horrible song, by the way.)have to do with Jazzercise?

[@curtyeomans8446]

@@jimmymelendez1836 the video for the song is very 80s Jazzercise Video-esque. So much so that someone was able to edit together clips from various old Jazzercise videos, speed them up only a tiny amount and make it look like they were dancing to Single Ladies.

I beat the breaks off her. Oh the 80s! lol!

No scrunchies until the 90s, kids.😂 Slap bracelets, Koosh balls and Tetris were awesome….Yeah, the Walkman’s are cool until the tape gets jacked up and you have to rewind it by hand. So funny that they are creeped out by Cabbage Patch kids, lol. Yes, kids the hair was crazy.

[@freddyt55555]

Get out the no. 2 pencil.

[@crisl9079]

Yep, for sure.

[@Jacob_Junge]

Scrunchies were definitely a popular thing with girls (and some long haired boys) when I was in high school in Denmark in the late '80s.

[@crisl9079]

@Jacob_Junge Interesting…we did not have them where I lived in the US until the early 90s.

[@AngelinaSkye1695]

Actually in the 80's most people called them track jackets so that young lady was right.

[@brianbenoit6883]

track jackets were softer material like velour. Windbreakers are hardshells.

[@kdrapertrucker]

Favorite thing is to put an AC/DC "Who made Who" tape in the Teddy Ruxpin.

[@AppealToTheStoned]

I was a kid in the 80s in the midwest and on the west coast, and I never once heard the expression "Barf out'.

[@blackrabbitinlerah8047]

Never happened in the northeast either.

[@stevewillhoite6922]

A friend had Teddy Ruxpin, we would put various heavy metal tapes in him.

[@vladyvhv9579]

Gotta say. That they know as much as they do, it puts a little more faith into the younger generations from Gen Xers like me.

[@carlrogers3505]

VHS AND BETA were both Cassettes. The whole mechanism for loading is part of that cassette.

"Betty?" I was kid all through the 80s and I have never heard that before, maybe it was a regional slang.

[@christianboehlefeld5168]

It was propagated by Wayne's World, as did most 80s slang that survived into the 90s.

[@tesseracht]

@@christianboehlefeld5168 Yeah I do remember that from Wayne's World, now that you mention it. I guess I've never heard anyone say it in real life.

[@TimothySmiths]

Yeah we never used Betty, that was more a Clueless thing..in early to mid 90's

[@gordowg1wg145]

"Betty Boop" reference...

[@courtney5796]

@@gordowg1wg145 Possibly, or Betty Grable. The original 'pin up girl'. I do know it was more of a west coast thing for women/girl surfers and skaters, but quickly transitioned into a beautiful surfer/skater. Never heard it once in North Dakota lol

[@mikek0135]

Wow, why do these kids know 80's so well? I'm flattered!

[@jamesanthony8438]

Apparently, their parents and grandparents have done them right. =)

[@zeusdarkgod7727]

It's probably partially to do with this show and discovering things from it they otherwise wouldn't. In the early 90's I discovered Elvis and spent 10 years listening to 50's and 60's music, I really missed out on the 90's because of it, and spent the next 20 making up for it off and on.

[@ozzielomeli4690]

“The Beatles?” Haha

[@matthamilton356]

It is my honest opinion that Teddy Ruxbin was the inspiration behind the chuck movies. If you think a new teddy doll was scary. You should see an old worn out one who has torn clothes, missing one eye, with torn clothes( or body) who still works turn on all by itself. As a young kid it would get you to believe in possession real quick. But on the other hand it could also make you no longer fear ghosts as well.

[@brannonhill4046]

I'd say it was a mix of Teddy Ruxpin and My Buddy/Kid Sister

[@christianwootton100]

Old dude here doesn't remember "betty"

[@karinberonius8799]

It's from the Archie comics. The question was if you were a Betty or a Veronica.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

@@karinberonius8799 So something for US Americans only then?

From 90s

[@lorrefl7072]

MC Hammer wore Harem Pants not Parachute Pants. In Belgium we didn't use the word Jazzercise but Aerobics. Also slap bracelets weren't a thing here either. I don't think Cabbage Patch dolls were that big here either. Although maybe I just didn't notice because I was more into Legos and Playmobile than I was into dolls.
