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?

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.

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?

Sesame Street’s animal segments were epic, and There’s A Bird On Me was no different. It’s a shame that this kind of silliness is stuck in the corners of Web, reserved for those who remember it, and displayed widely for the new generations.

When we were kids we always wanted marmalade (not jam or jelly) after watching Paddington Bear. We loved how naive, yet curious and eccentric the cute little bear from Peru was.
