Epic Win: Super Friends

Oct. 28, 2009

Submitted by Garland P, voiced by Casey Kasem

Super Friends was a cross between the DC Comics universe and some Scooby Doo knockoffs. (Actually, I think there was an actual Scooby Doo crossover at some point.) The cartoon ran for some 13 years, and though the show itself was never great (not terrible, but never brilliant), it’s cultural legacy remains ingrained on our collective consciousness. What am I talking about again?

Epic Win: Super S

Oct. 28, 2009

stussy-s

Submitted and Written by Lauren, Ms. Stussypants

It’s amazing that sometimes I can barely remember basic math but can still draw a “stussy symbol” (also called a “Super S” in some regions) without hesitating. I remember these stylized “S’s” being drawn on every available scrap of paper, but unless you knew the secret of the lines, you were out of the cool club. We called them “stussies” but I don’t think they had any relation to the Stussy company that was popular at the time. Everyone thought that this was a unique symbol that only they and their friends knew how to draw, but talk to your friends from around the country and you’ll find out that they too knew how to make a super cool “S” out of 14 lines.

We called them Super S’s where I grew up, so I went all New Yorker and fact checked Lauren’s story. She’s 100% correct, as far as I can tell.

Epic Win: The Critic

Oct. 27, 2009

Submitted by sporkbot, and the Movies

This terribly underrated cartoon starring John Lovitz was, uh, terribly underrated. And to prove it, I’ve assembled some great parodies from the show. See them after the jump.

Epic Win: Moon Shoes

Oct. 27, 2009

Submitted by Laura B, gravity-defying kangaroo

That is one funk-ah bass line. I never actually used these — are they as fun/dangerous as they look? I don’t think I could trust the creators of Squiggle Wiggle Rider and Squiggle Ball, whatever the hell those are.

Epic Win: 1996 Olympic Gymnastics Team

Oct. 26, 2009

(With apologies to anyone who hates U2.)

Submitted and Written by Mary C, gold medalist

The 1996 summer Olympic gymnastics were completely unforgettable. All those sweet little girls with killer moves, floor routines to awesomely bad ’90s songs, Dominique Mouchiano, Kerry Strugg and that nutzo leg stunt she pulled the won the gold…man oh man. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
