Toy Story is pushing the boundary of what we consider nostalgia, however, it was very highly rated on the voting pages so we decided to include it. It is an epic film that was an astonishing leap in animation technology that basically made Pixar a household name and paved the way for more computer-generated animation.
For young kids, Toy Story was just another cartoon with an awesome story and cool visual effects. For the older kids and adults who had grown up on Jem and the Holograms, GI Joe, Scooby Doo, Mighty Mouse, or Hannah Barbera cartoons, Toy Story was a blast from the future. It showed us very quickly the impact that computers were having on our lives in a time when you were lucky to have a 486 computer in your home, let alone the (almost) brand-spanking-new Pentium computers.
Then if you could look beyond all of that, there was Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Jim Varney and a slew of other great actors who lent their comedy and their voices to this Epic Win. And who could forget Sid, the sadistic neighbor boy’s toy collection, like the spider thing with the burnt doll head or the fishing pole on legs…

Where would British comedy be without Mr. Bean. Nevermind the ridiculous American movies he made, those are junk. We’re talking about the old Mr. Bean sketch comedy where Mr. Bean would do things like steal another man’s pants while he’s sitting on the toilet, or the time he gave anesthesia to his dentist. That’s the old Mr. Bean we remember and love.

The Dunkin’ Donuts commercials of the ’80s wouldn’t be what they were without Fred the Baker and Time to Make the Donuts was one of the most memorable of them all. Everyone hates getting out of bed so early in the morning so we could all empathize with our favorite funny commercial man, Michael Vale.

You Don’t Know Jack was the ultimate catalyst for fighting with siblings and cousins. Since you had to share the keyboard to enter your answers, eventually the poor-sport of the group would start smacking hands, answering questions for you and generally making it difficult to get a good score. At the same time the comedian host of YDKJ would mock you when you got answers wrong, to questions that were complicated, silly or confusing, which only added to tension.

Don’t remember how frustrating it was? Play YDKJ Online and see if you can beat our top trivia player’s scrore of $15,113. Choose your answers wisely because the questions don’t change, so if you play a second time you already know all the answers.

Richard Pryor is considered one of the most influential comedians of the last 100 years. He said what he wanted, when he wanted and he didn’t give a… You get the idea. We’d say more about Richard, but we don’t think we could say it as eloquently as it should be said, so we’re going to post a few of our favorite clips and have you tell us what your favorite thing about Richard is.
