Wow, they just make it look like so much fun to clean up a greasy fast food restaurant! It's like they're scrubbing down the fryer with pixie dust! And while I'd love to know if McDonald's were actually staffed by middle-aged men in the '70s, I think that all McDonalds chains would do bang-up business if their employees broke into song and dance at a moment's notice!

Yeah, that's some mighty big eighties hair right there. But you know what's worse than the crispy Aqua Net 'dos? What these girls are wearing! Make the jump, but shield your eyes!

The year was 1950. The style was sensational. Just make the jump to see how you can be fabulous, too!

I love the seventies version of the future. You know, like Logan's Run and all that. It's just so shiny and streamlined and white. Well, this ad in the seventies was envisioning one such future that sadly never came to pass. For obvious reasons. Just make the jump and see what insanity they were dreaming up!

Oh sure, that image on the left looks like whipped cream, doesn't it? Like something from a '50s cookbook full of recipes on how to use your aerosol whipped topping in creative and horrifying new ways? Well, not to spoil anything, but it ain't. No, it's something even more bizarre, if you can believe it! Don't believe me? Make the jump!

Look at this secretary hard at work. But I have to tell you, she's not working away on a typewriter. No, in fact, she's doing something much more complicated. How complicated? Make the jump to see the machine that would absolutely terrify me!

2001: A Space Odyssey was such a classic film that any follow-up was going to pale in comparison. And while 2010 does lack that certain magic quality, it's not completely without its merits. Unfortunately, it seems like MGM wanted to make sure that they branched out to lure in a more mainstream audience for this sequel. But did they branch out too far? Make the jump for a very unusual tie-in!
I don't know if Mike White wrote or directed this, but it sure feels like his style. He and Justin Long appear in this "commercial" for MakeHomosexualsMarry.org. Why would straight people object to gay men and women tying the knot to live unhappily ever after? It's crazy! Warning: While this video is hilarious, it's not necessarily SFW. Heads up!

Well, you can already tell from the thumbnail photo to the right there that this guy is pure eighties through and through. The hair, the upturned collar... it's all a dead giveaway. And I'm sure you won't be surprised at all when I tell you that if you make the jump, it gets worse.
Seriously? I mean, goth is one thing, but pretending you're a werewolf? That's nuts, right? It's not just me being old and not with the times anymore, right? Right? I give them credit for their dedication, what with the special contacts, fangs and tails hanging off their butts. Still, though, they look ridiculous. I especially love the bit at the end where the mom says that she's proud of her son for being who he wants to be... while standing five feet away from him! Haw! (I also wonder if they get into fights with the vampire goth kids... Team Jacob FTW!)
