Epic Win: The Carlton Dance

Jul. 7, 2009

Submitted by Emma C

Not only was the Carlton Dance a playground meme when we were kids, but with the advent of video remixes and Internet memes, it also became a popular clip on YouTube.

Epic Win: MacGyver

Jul. 1, 2009

Submitted by CY Costa

MacGyver is even more bad-ass then Chuck Norris, since MacGyver could not only make just about anything out of a box full of household items, but he also injected applied science into the lives of his unwitting audience. That’s right, most of the things that MacGyver created on the show were vetted by his producers to make sure it was possible in real life. That means if you were a hardcore fan and could remember all of the things he created, you could make an explosive device out of rubberband a toothpick and a bouncy ball.

Epic Win: Salute Your Shorts

Jun. 30, 2009

Submitted by A Mills

Camp Anawanna we hold you in our hearts! Epic Win for Salute Your Shorts! Remember all of the characters? We couldn’t remember which character represented each stereotype, but we rounded up a few… For instance, we remember Telly (the tomboy/sports junky), Budnick (the douchebag), Donkeylips (the fat kid), and Sponge (the dork). Any we missed? List them in the comments.

This Epic Win was initially not well-received by voters and thus skipped by the Once Upon A Win writing team, however, due to the persistence of people who love this show, the vote count was raised considerably and thus revisited by staff.

Epic Win: Doug

Jun. 30, 2009


This was the closest we could find to the original on YouTube

Submitted by S Elizabeth

Doug is a totally epic win! Skeeter, Patti Mayonnaise, Judy (or Judith Annastasia Funnie, the beatnik), Quailman (or any of Doug’s other alter-egos), Porkchop, Roger, Beebe, Conni, The Dinks, etc., were always there to illustrate some sort of dilemma, whether it be a moral one or just something simple, such as Doug’s fear of asking out Patti.
It was impossible to write this post without getting the Nickelodeon’s Doug theme song stuck in our heads. We sure wish reruns were still on.

Epic Win: Bugs Bunny PSA

Jun. 29, 2009

Submitted by Heather C

Bugs Bunny’s PSAs were an epic win for mixing live action with cartoon so it made it easier to relate the video to our own kitchens. Remember hearing the voices from the PSA in your own kitchen after seeing this video on Saturday morning for the millionth time?
