notable moments in tv history

so most of this is a bunch of late 80s/early 90s stuff and i’m bored so i’m just gonna make a list of things i remember in no apparent order…

• when ytv got taken over by a puppet and renamed wtv for a few days – the commercials were entertaining for this and it made for fun tv. warren was always fun for a rude green fuzzy thing. my favorite was when he changed “dennis the menace” to “dennis the annoying little snot”. oh this was fun.
• the ultimate warrior throwing up – green projectile vomit. good stuff.
• the legend of zelda commercial – the one with the two nerdy kids that my brother and i ripped.
• andre the giant honeycomb commercial – honeycomb’s big! yeah yeah yeah! it’s not small! no no no!
• darkwing duck series premiere – i rememeber this being really hyped and it turned out being my favorite disney cartoon ever, next to gargoyles. the fact that launchpad was in it just made it that much better.
• the quebec referendum – yeah i was up all night watching this, making fun of the stupid seperatists.
• jack the lego maniac – i still think about that song when i think about lego. like all the time.
• the divorce commercial – a commercial for a show called “why divorce affects children”. i was scared to death of the commercial because there was this picture of a kid’s face being cut in half and i thought his face was actually being cut in half, not a photo… yeah i was pretty young…
• you can’t do that on television – there are 3 moments that stick out in my mind the most… the episode where the french guy was working backstage and dumped water on the head of anyone who said “oh”, the episode from later on when alistair stuck his haed out of the locker and he was grown up and that girl went nuts over him, and the one where barth made burgers out of hockey pucks.
• coke commercial – the one with the fake pepsi taste test where the guy kept picking coke instead.
• ibm os/2 commercial – with the nun who talks about waiting for microsoft’s new “chicago” that keeps getting delayed. hahahahaha.
• denver the last dinosaur – just the first episode though… that was the most important. and the theme song was annoyingly catchy.
• captain n/legend of zelda crossover – best part of captain n ever, easily… oh yeah.
• super mario 3 commercial – all the people with different colored shirts chanting MARIO! MARIO! until it zoomed out on the planet with mario’s face. that was really cool. too bad i’d already been playing the game for months considering i had 2 friends who both had pirate carts of the japanese version. hehehe…

anyway, that’s my list for the day… hope you had fun. and i was way too lazy to even look for screenshots or videos. if you can find any then knock yourself out! woooo…
