Erm, why is this in the gaming news?
That's why they picked it. Fine Bros are all about that sponsorship

Bridgette Wilson was pure hottie. She still is.
But yeah, I always thought LAH was underappreciated for the meta work it was. And Charles Dance stole the show.
BIG Mistake.
Plus the last one is almost always a gimme.
I agree, but would they get it now? I mean, it was an amazing send up of what had come before it, but if you didn't watch the oeuvre of Arnie, it might not land the same way.
Convince me. I remember the movie being bad enough that it was severely "Meh" in quality. So if you're going to make such a bold claim as to compare it to those two GREAT movies, you need to convince me enough to "waste" 2-ish hours on that movie (And however much money to rent if it's not on netflix).
Shouldn’t need to. Either the movie will do it already. Or it won’t.
Anyone saying the movie is “bad” is not getting the meta.
Spoiler alert: there are at least THREE levels of meta.

I'm not sure I have the words to describe this video, but I think it would appeal to a good number of people on the forums. Especially those who like the machining of pretty things that serve a practical purpose.
Considered putting this in the Space Stuff thread:
Six Flags has apparently been inspired by the Happy-Go-Pukey.

I almost got to go to the Kinks/Clash show, but tickets sold out by the time I found out about it (October?) and all that was left were seats $245ea. We didn't go.

Honestly, that looks like fun.
Recognized ‘em all in under a second except for the last one, which took two. These were my bread and butter growing up EXCEPT for the last one, which for some reason I’ve never seen. Did it never hit syndication, I wonder?
Glad Chelsea is still in these, she’s great. Labib, you’re good, too, but your smile will never be as epic as Chelsea’s.
I don’t know who this Sabrina D person is, but she reminds me a LOT of Felicia Day.
There’s SO MUCH MORE they could’ve talked about, too. The two Darrens, the two Gingers, the fact that there’s actually a band named “His Boy Elroy” or that Elizabeth Montgomery ruled that show with an iron fist, all sorts of stuff.

Yeah, but for a proper comparison we'd need to know how you'd do on stuff from *before* you were born.
Actually I wonder how much that stuff was still on TV in reruns as they were growing up, compared to how much 30's/40's songs were still being sung when you were growing up.

Yeah, there wasn't a "Nick at Night" in the 60s showing 30s media, too... I wouldn't know half of what I do about 60s TV if it weren't for Nick at Night in the 90s. Heh.
That show was in syndication, last I remember seeing it was in the early days of Nick at Nite, so early 90s.

It's so iconic Tiny Toons even did a parody of it, complete with the trip over the ottoman and everything. I remember chuckling because they called Elmyra "Elmyra Tyler Moore," and I think this was before canon established her last name as "Duff" so it kinda confused me for a bit. (A reference that she takes the place of Elmer Fudd in the lineup, much like Montana Max replaces Yosemite Sam).
And I recognized that parody for what it was, but as I had never seen the show I didn't know about the ottoman/nottoman thing until after seeing that TT ep.
