Year13
Ahh, the mid-90’s. Pre-iPhone, pre-everyone-has-a-laptop, pre everything that kids seem to be playing with these days. Hello yellow filters on tv shows, lollies that were bad for you but sold at school anyway and those genuinely weird plot lines (Round the Twist, I’m looking at you!).
Here’s a blast from the past:
1. Soupe Opera
*cue opera music and its spontaneous placement on ABC*
2. “Marge! Marge!”
’nuff said.
3. Cat Dog
‘Cat dawwwg, cat dawwg, aloneintheworldwithalittlecat dawwwwg!’
4. Crazy Bones
‘I’ll trade you my green one for my blue one!’
5. Blinky Bill
“Hey, hey Blinky Bill, you’ll never catch him standing still, life is pretty boring ’till you’ve met Blinky Billllllll.”
5. Ferbies
Was anyone else absolutely terrified of their beady eyes?!
6. Round the Twist
Remember that one time Pete got impregnated with a tree nymph? Yeah, good times.
7. The Nokia
That snake was the death of me in 2004.
8. Fags
9. Blue Water High
If this didn’t make you want to surf, I don’t know what would.
10. Healthy Harold
11. Ghostdrops
5c a pop, no problem, I’ll grab 10! “What colour’s my tongue??”
12. Dollarmites
13. John Howard
14. Rugrats
15. Scoobies
You definitely gave your school crush one as a sign of your undying love and you had a keychain of your favourite ones hanging off your school bag.
16. MSN Messenger
17. Never Eat Soggy Weatbix
18. Bubble O’ Bill
19. MATCH
20. Tamagotchis
21. VCR Videos
Every home movie ever.
22. Arthur
4pm ABC, truuuu?
