They Really Had These Fan Clubs?

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I like how the BeeGees Permanent Membership Card had an expiration date.

[@alexnejako777]

FOOM was Friends of Old Marvel the official Marvel fam club. Had a great 1970s magazine FOOM

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

KISS ARMY where i achieved the rank of 2nd Lieutenant

[@opuscrap4322]

I was in the E.T. the extra terrestrial fan club in 1983. :)

[@ShamrockParticle]

Same here, but E.T. didn't bring us all home with him! 😂

[@katenunyabizness9221]

The only fan clubs I recall joing was the GI Joe Adventure Team Fan Club and the Cutey Bunny Fan Club.

[@jasondavis1440]

Early 90s Star Wars fanclub member here. I still have the Micromachines 😎

[@hediho-ry6rs]

The treasury was still there when you called

[@tperson8347]

That would be cool as eff to have an Øzzy fan club card from the 80s. 🦇 Love that guy.

[@shanester1832]

I was into Color Me Badd when 'Unleash the Beast' came out but they leaned way into that power ballad stuff. Basically became Barry Manilow with wicked guitar solos.

[@ThatJunkman]

great album from their UK Black trasher era

[@shanester1832]

I was in The Freddy club, probably signed up from that same ad. I got a storyboard of the head in tv scene from 3, a button, some postcards and that's all I ever got. Must've went defunct after my 1st care pak.

[@tperson8347]

@@shanester1832 That's badbutt. Freddy Kruger is my favorite movie monster of the 80s/early 90s era. Freddy's revenge is the best, in my opinion.

[@shanester1832]

@tperson8347 I got into it at 3 and it hit right with a good concept and characters, cool kills. He was somewhat comedic but not full jokester yet. All of them have something to like.

[@danielbowden6330]

Peter Tork's picture was missing in the Monkeys fan club.

[@ThatJunkman]

i wonder why

[@johnbest1978]

I was a member of the Freddy Krueger fanclub. Awesome video Junkman thank you for covering fanclubs. Awesome singing the Oakridge boys.

[@peterrenaud9639]

I'm in the that junkman fanclub, literally 😂

[@tperson8347]

Oh, yeah? Well, I got ALL the posters, ALL the records, AND I'm a club member! :)

[@GodLovesYou828]

​@@tperson8347 is there a seriously records ?

[@Zepphd2]

I’m currently in the Three Stooges fan club. The only one I’ve ever belonged to. Lol

[@mikemonk4375]

Second verse… same as the first!!!

[@HouMat-if5fi]

If I'm payin $6.50 for the Elvira fan club they need to draw some cleavage lines on that artwork.

[@TheCrazyHedgehogLady]

Right?! Amen to that. 😆

[@RedSiegfried]

But I think we can all agree that cleavage lines or not, Elvira is amazing.

[@tperson8347]

Yes, LET'S (talk about it). :) The only ones I was a member of was the LEGO club and SW Insider. I still have my SWI card. I have that Oakridge Boys record, Elvira. :) These are really awsome. I love stuff like this. Thanks for the video

[@shanester1832]

@tperson8347 My earliest record player memories were from Elvira. I was mesmerized by the low voice dude. So deep. That and a Conway Twitty/ Tweety bird Christmas album I just looked up.

[@tperson8347]

@shanester1832 Conway Twitty is good stuff. I'm NOT one for Christmas music, but if you ever get the chance, please DO check out The Oakridge Boys Christmas album if you haven't already. My dad had that and played it on X-Mas morning. :) My sister now has a copy of that record in her record collection. :)

[@leathermetal]

3 of my favorites I would have joined

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

If I was growing up in that era, I’d definitely join the WWF, Superman, Marvel and Pac-Man fan clubs. Also, there’s no shame in liking a little bit of country music like Hank Jr., Waylon, Charlie Daniels, and Keith Whitley as well as liking all of the rock and hair metal bands, grew up on all of that kind of music.

[@tperson8347]

I agree on that. I like classic country, not the new stuff. Early to mid 90s country is as far as I go, but liked "Riding with Private Malone" from the early 2000s.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I for sure, remember joining the Lucasfilm Fan Club. I still have the membership card, 8" × 10"s, Bantha Tracks newsletters and whatever else came with the membership. I bought and still have the exclusive Luke Skywalker Bespin jacket and Han Solo vest that were sold exclusively to members. I also joined the G.I. Joe Fan Club in the '80s. I may have joined the "Mega Force" Fan Club or it may have been a fever dream.

[@neon-maniac]

Uncle Sherman club REPRESENT

[@RedSiegfried]

Certified member of Transformers STARS and Robotech Defense Force here. But "But if you get a rush out of spilled blood, or revel in the joy of a clean beheading ..."? That's just a bit too ... I don't know the word for it, no thanks.

[@thethe6232]

I was in the Dukes of Hazard fan club ! Yeeeeeeeeeee, harrrrrr!

[@ciscodeer9094]

I'm glad I didn't join any fan clubs.

[@tperson8347]

Why is that?

[@ciscodeer9094]

@@tperson8347 too much money and by the time the club expires you are out of luck

[@RedSiegfried]

I somehow imagined Ben Kenobi to have neater handwriting. I don't know, I guess I thought Jedi skills included excellent penmanship.

[@tomsprout3293]

I was part of the "Capn Crunch Club"...I still have the certificate somewhere....

[@palpatine775]

I think we can all agree, we need a That Junkman Fan Club!

[@markstammers1923]

I'm In the Iron maiden FC,have been since 2004,Also when I was a kid, I joined the Desperate Dan club from the Dandy comic,still got the badges, membership card,and the wallet that they came in.

[@pinballshawn]

I was in the Atari fan club and I'm damn proud of that... Damn proud!

[@UncleMimi]

Everyone loved Elvira. Them chesticles have been famous longer than I've been alive

[@mantenna1077]

I remember I was in the madonna fan club I got a autograph and a Madonna magazine where you had information on other fans from all over the world this was before the World Wide Web and every issue had a exclusive letter from madonna her self to all of us along with a catalog of madonna merchandise and you got madonna money dollars bills with Madonna pictures on it that you can use for madonna merchandise plus you could get concert tickets a week before everybody else because as a member it felt like Madonna like you best so you had perks no one else had, I actually renewed my membership then she’s on tour for access to great tickets before anyone else the World Wide Web kinda killed the fan club but at the time it was fun getting mail from the fan club and I had one of those fan club cards that i used to show people and keep in my wallet like it was my ID before I was old enough to get a state ID I remember thinking having that card made me feel like I was the shit lol a real confidence booster in my younger years, that’s funny that was all it took to make me feel good at that time.

[@RickSFfan]

Good video, Junkman! I was with the official Star Wars one. Got an Empire Strikes Back promotional brochure with a Vader sealing piece. Just flashed on an idea, if you haven't already done it. Do you remember all the living things you used to he able to get from comic books in the 70s? Ants, Sea Monkeys, and I remember Crazy Crabs, where they would send you hermit crabs in the mail. The ads for it are on Google. In the 60s you could get small dogs and monkeys.

[@BobbyBooker-l8i]

I would join the Elvira fan club. And I will never believe that song is not about her. I think they even admitted it one time. ...I'd join that junkman fan club too.

[@bj9zq]

Start the JUNKMAN FAN CLUB. 😂

[@LEQ-cw9iz]

Gumby and The Muppet Show fan club.

[@candacecherry2846]

Happy Thanksgiving junk man I remember my friend was a new kids fan club

[@arielfilmsinc1926]

should start previewing before posting images JM (How many PTA'S regrated showing unedited version of Hardware Wars?)

[@klemmensenpf]

The reality of kids fan clubs. The official card would come, the kid would put their name on it. Then when the child was lost, an adult or police officer could see their name on the fan club card. This is a way to trick the kid into carrying an Id card.

[@Chris23513]

What did you expect- it's the "mean old girls club" of the WNBA after all

[@ScottPentecost-uu1cu]

I was in the the first bttf fan club.

[@3Storms]

I remember the Star Wars fan club as well as some bands like KISS and Iron Maiden fan clubs, but that's it.

[@WilliamTurk]

Have you ever done a video about the Bantha Tracks newsletter?

[@ThatJunkman]

Nope. Been on the list

[@JohnSwindells-zm4sq]

Hey Junkman the best one on here is the Doctor Poo one because you could wipe your butt with it.Great video so thanks 😊

[@jamiepike6909]

Do they do fan clubs anymore.

[@michaeldumas9203]

Lost interest at 14:39. 😞
