this is awesome the only thing that i think is wrong is space jam didnt reference pulp fiction in that scene they were referencing men in black (black suits shooting aliens)
I lived overseas for all of the 90s but I still remember 98% of this stuff! I’d forgotten about some of those things, though, so now I will definitely be youtube-ing all of these. Thanks for the list!
One of the early scenes in “Pulp Fiction” features two hit-men discussing what a Big Mac is called in other countries. Their dialogue is witty and entertaining, and it’s also disarming, because it makes these two thugs seem all too normal. If you didn’t know better, you might assume these were regular guys having chit-chat on their way to work. Other than the comic payoff at the end of the scene, in which they use parts of this conversation to taunt their victims, their talk has no relevance to anything in the film, or to anything else, for that matter. Yet without such scenes, “Pulp Fiction” wouldn’t be “Pulp Fiction.” I get the sense that Tarantino put into the film whatever struck his fancy, and somehow the final product is not only coherent but wonderfully textured.
Bill Nye the Science Guy taught us half of what we know. Beakman taught us the other half. Blossom was our go-to for dating. And really: WTF is Judy Winslow?
Frank: It was referencing Pulp Fiction which came out in ’94. Men In Black came out in ’97 and Space Jam in ’96, so it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to have been referencing something that DID NOT EXIST YET!
Loved this. @katriname: Judy Winslow was the other daughter in Family Matters whom we know nothing about now lol hence the amber alert haha. Space Jam, definitely referencing Pulp Fiction. I watched the Simpsons all the time and didn’t understand the reference with the football player?
I think the Simpsons and Brett Favre joke was the fact that it seems like both will go on forever. The Simpsons 24th season is coming out in a few weeks and Brett Favre had been playing since 1991 and never wanted to retire.
I am 25 and this really takes me back to my days of childhood. I have 2 kids now and the shows that are on are no where near as good as what I watched as a child. Bring them back!
I don’t get the comment about Brett Farve and the Simpsons either and I loved watching them when I was little. Not unless it has something to do with age of Farve and age of the Simpsons being on tv.
I’m 20 and completely remember all of these things! It blows my mind how much more amazing the 90s were than the 2000s!
I’m 20 years old and completely remember all of this. It blows my mind how much better the 90s were than the 2000s!!
wow. The shows these days are nowhere near as good as the ones back then. I’m 21 and this brings me back

How could it be referencing MIB when MIB came out AFTER this movie.
It was referencing Pulp Fiction. If you re-watch Space Jam at that scene it plays the same music that’s in Pulp Fiction. Its not MIB.

I don’t understand the reference to Brett Farve and the Simpsons either.
I believe Steve Urkel was actually Sonic’s sister, Sonya in the Sonic Underground series.
Brett Frave and the Simpsons both won’t retire after they say they will. Lol! Am I the only that got that?
The Simpsons and Brett Farve both won’t die/went on for too long.
Neither the Simpsons nor Brett Farve ever seem to go away.

Brett Farve and the Simpsons both survived past the 90s….AKA they’re both old.
what is the name of that gameshow?!
