Thread 149935089

I showed to my 12-year-old nephew, The Ultimate Showdown of the Ultimate Destiny.
He didn't recognize it:
>Aaron Carter
>Jackie Chan
>Care Bear
>Chuck Norris
>Black Knight (Monty Python)
>Benito Mussolini
>Chief Blue Meanie
>Cowboy Curtis
>Gandalf the White (he was confused with Grey)
>Jambi
>James T. Kirk
>Lo Pan
>Bill S. Preston
>Ted Logan
>Spock
>Hulk Hogan
>Fred Rogers
are we getting old?

Yeah.
Though I don't know who Jambi, Lo Pan, Bill Preston, Ted Logan, and Fred Rogers are.

>>149935089 (OP)
Absolutely, even as a kid there were a bunch of characters I didn't recognize.

>>149935222
Gotta watch movies before you were born. Not knowing Big Trouble in a little China is just wrong

>>149935089 (OP)
>someone born in 2013 didn't recognize things from 25+ years ago.
What a mystery, anon.

I never understood why the vocalist sounded like a snotty teenager yet so many inclusions were boomer mcore, even at the time.

>>149935304
It didn't used to be shameful to like media that was older than you.

>>149935089 (OP)
Yes we're getting old what did you think?

>>149935222
bill and ted’s excellent adventure dude

>>149935089 (OP)
How are you even fucking surprised on some of these

>Aaron Carter
I honestly can't remember how long he was popular for, like I remembered people talking about him in the 00s but that was it

>Mussolini
Usually when people talk about WWII at all they just focus on Hitler

>Cowboy Curtis
>Jambi
When was the last time Pee-Wee's Playhouse was shown on TV before they finally put everything up on streaming in recent years?

>Lo Pan
There hasn't been much push for Big Trouble in Little China. On the other hand you're a failure for not showing him that movie

>Bill and Ted
The third movie was out during 2020, when Hollywood didn't know how to market during a confused lockdown/pandemic. Before that what was even the last thing with them in it? Bogus Journey? The cartoon? That was early 90s

>Kirk
>Spock
Paramount dropped the ball by giving Star Trek to JJ Abrams and Alex Kurtzman. The last Star Trek movie was in 2016 (NINE years ago) and few people are watching Kurtzman's shows.

>Fred Rogers
Were they rerunning Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on PBS in the 2010s? Because if he wasn't watching the channel he wouldn't have known. There was a movie about Fred Rogers in 2019 but if he didn't grow up watching Mr Rogers your nephew wouldn't have seen it

>>149935089 (OP)
I don't believe you.
Even as a 12 year old, I knew who Jackie Chan was. He was in Kung Fu Panda.

>>149935304
There used to be a lot of reruns and oldermovies on tv. Since there wasn’t much other media being made everyday, you would watch them because your brain wasn’t completely fried and overstimulated

>>149935089 (OP)
So he recognized Robocop, Terminator, Darth Vader, Superman, every single Power Ranger, The Rock, and Doc Ock?

>>149935562
You were a 12 year old 12 years ago anon. That’s a long time for a person for whom it’s their entire lifetime

>>149935089 (OP)
Did you pause every time he didn't recognize a character to jot this down?

>>149935562
>He was in Kung Fu Panda.
I didn't even know that as a kid 2bh, specially since he had such a minor role.

>>149935089 (OP)
>The kids these days don't get a 25 year old song referencing media that itself was ten years old or older at the time!

No fucking shit.

it's a very american video too, nobody outside of the us know who is mr rogers

>>149935089 (OP)
I watched it in 2013 and I didn't recognize everyone either.

>>149936150
The good ol days when only America and Japan were prominent on the internet.

I hate skibidi toilet bc sigma

>>149935089 (OP)
>Ultimate Showdown

Where is MacGyver, Mr. T, and Sean Connery?

>>149935089 (OP)
you fail as a uncle to not show anything to your nephew.

>>149935222
You don't know Mister Rogers?

>>149935089 (OP)
In fairness, this silly little cartoon was the first time I ever heard of Gambi the Genie, Cowboy Curtis or Lo Pan. Not everyone's gonna have the same pop culture pedigree, and thats just fine.

Your nephew should know who goddam Fred Rogers is, tho. S'wrong wit'chu people?
