    I had my 7th birthday party at Pizza Hut in 1984. All the guests got to go back in the kitchen and make our own personal pan pizzas, and it was an unforgettable experience! I miss Pizza Hut of the 80s!

    😂😂😂 GenX on TH-cam? Heck, yeah!!!
    Honestly, watching your channel has shown me where to find this great old content!
    I am now deeply immersed in so many old shows, soap operas, after-school specials and more!
    I love your channel & appreciate you
    more than you know ❤

    Love the vintage commercials. Strange that the advertisements that annoyed me then are so entertaining now. Maybe it's the nostalgia glasses, maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline. 😊

    I like to occasionally find a compilation of commercials broadcast on the same day 40 years ago, and just watch it without even once counting down until the Skip button appears.
    I have no idea how anyone found seemingly a VHS tape of broadcast TV for every day of the week....but thank you, whomever is doing it!

    I can really relate to two of the things you mentioned in this video. First of all, the video of the trip to McDonalds in 1984 reminded me of a favorite YT video of mine where a guy with a camcorder interviewed random strangers at a 7-11 in Orlando in the 80s, and second, when that person mentioned wanting to move to NYC in 1987, I could TOTALLY relate, because I've always wanted to live in 1985 Miami! 🤣

    I was born in 1970, I recall those Burger King ads. Not as good as the Big Mac song-- Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun! Kinda hate that that earworm remains in my head all these years later. haha.

Back in the not so recent days when us Canadians produced cop shows like Flashpoint and Rookie Blue, along with the occasional medical drama (some titles have escaped me), and before the company went bankrupt, Just for Laughs Gags to fill the American broadcast networks summer schedules.

    I have Amy Jo in my subs. Her songs are so good! I do feel sad when I see her because I dated the best girl on earth who strongly resembled her. 19 years later, I still wish I could hold Brandi again. She made me believe in myself. Whenever I introduced her, people would notice the resemblance and work references to the Pink Ranger into conversation. She once noted that my associates were really into Power Rangers. She had no idea why my friends made the reference.

    I'm from Massachusetts, and back in the day, our go-to pizza restaurant was Papa Gino's. Sadly, many of them have gone defunct, including one that was just down the street from me. It was the place to have pizza parties for your birthday, when you were a kid. My sister had hers there, once. Instead of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, they had Pin the Pepperoni on the Pizza! So good! And, if it was your birthday, you got to go into the kitchen, and they'd let you make your own pizza! So cool! 😎🍕
    Let's see, what is some of my favorite Gen X TH-cam content? I've seen one called The 80s Vault, this channel, of course, Let's Run it Back, and D.D. Conway's Nostalgic Lounge. I've also seen videos of the Animaniacs voice actors performing in concerts, doing interviews, and meeting the fans. I also watch The Take discuss classic shows such as Friends. Thanks for the video! Looking forward to the next one!

From Christopher Pike, to The Silence of the Lambs, 80's iconic horror icons, The Great Pumpkin, Garbage Pail Kids, Choose Your Own Adventure., actual serial killers, missing kids on milk cartons, Satanic Panic, The 700 Club, I could go on and on.

    x Ken Marino is awesome, he is one of my favorite actors!
    x David Wain is awesome, he is another of my favorite actors!
    o I dressed up as his character The Warden from Superjail one year for Halloween!
    o I watched Stella live at the University of Missouri!
    x Pizza Hut was THE birthday party destination in the 80s in my area!
    x I worked at Pizza Hut in 1998 as a Delivery Boy
    o It was the same year There's Something About Mary was released (which had a signifant role for a Pizza Delivery Boy in it).
    o I learned the grid system of addresses while being trained at Pizza Hut, before I only used directions and landmarks to find places.
    x Annie was a major cultural phenomena in our area and she was like a kid we all knew!
    x Interestingly, I watched the music video "Still Here" by Amy Jo Johnson on an instinct (not long ago).
    o I did not know who she was!
    o I love music videos, but I don't watch a lot of them!
    † That music video was excellent!
    x Office Space was the most quoted movie when I was in college at Doane University.
    o Some years later in that area, I worked my first traditional office job that was called TAG.
    † It is a third-party administrator.
    † I was an auditor for annuity policies.
    x Triumph The Insult Dog is so funny!
    o I remember when he opened up the lyrics to a Bon Jovi album hahaha!
    x I wrote down that Triumph the Insult Dog video to watch.
    x I will watch that Pizza Hut video when the timing is right, probably when (or if) Donald Trump wins the election.
    † He did a Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust commercial in 1998.
    † Considering that he fried fries in a McDonald's and rode in a garbage truck recently, it appears he is going to go ALL IN for promoting job roles and popular American businesses.
    - The following generations' lifetime of special treatment will be officially over when he becomes president, he will probably start clamping down on everyone the second the election results are confirmed (if he wins that is).
