When Pop-Up Video debuted on VH1 in 1996, it quickly became the channel’s highest-rated show. The format was simple: play campy music videos while word bubbles popped up with brilliant trivia nuggets about the band and video. Where else would you learn that actress Diane Keaton directed Belinda Carlisle’s video for “Heaven is a Place on Earth,” that Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” video took six weeks to complete (they usually take two days), or that George Michael of Wham! used to stuff shuttlecocks down his pants?

Remember when Zorro was about more than just poorly executed CGI and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ boobs? It was a simpler time, when kids regarded him as a hero and would emulate him by cutting masks out of their mother’s best fabric instead of regarding him as just another crappy Hollywood remake.

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.

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.

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.
