- Weird History presents Timeline 1998. Timeline is going back to the 90s and showing you all the news, culture, sports, entertainment, and all that was weird in the year 1998. '98 will be remembered for Bill Clinton getting impeached, the Chicago Bulls winning their second three-peat, and Oprah getting sued by Texas cattlemen. Take a nostalgic trip back to 1998.

What was your highlight of 1998?
Being born
ISDN dual 64Kbs channels for 128Kbs throughput in my home. Cable Internet was around the corner for Charlotte, NC at the time (at least the better off Ballantyne area of Charlotte).
Being born
Started my freshman year of high school
@@chayden153 ‘98 gang!
It’s 2021 but whenever someone mentions “the 90’s” I always think it was 10 years ago. Good times!
fr
dude, i do the same thing.🙂
Martha it will ALWAYS BE 10 years ago and we will ALWAYS revisit in our own dreams!
It sure feels like it. That happens to me too lol
That happens to me all the time. When I realize it was 30 years ago, I freak out a little bit for a moment.
Man I'll always miss Phil Hartman. SNL and the Simpsons weren't the same without him.
drugs man, what a thing
I agree - Phil is sorely missed.
His last voice role was Jiji in Disney's English dub of Kiki's Delivery Service.
Yes he was a awesome talent.
You might remember him from being one of the funniest actors ever.
I love the nineties because it's the perfect blend of some 80s stuff carrying over and early naughties stuff beginning to creep in
I always wonder why some people called the 00s the naughties
@@thenewjord50 tbh, it's just how I've heard it said a lot
Ehhhh okay?.
@@thenewjord50the British way
Being an old millennial, or a gen-x cusp, my generation has such an interesting perspective. We had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We were born just too late for the original boom in technology but we're taught all about technology that became completely obsolete by the time we were entering the work force lol!
You're a Xennial or from the Oregon Trail generation. We grew up in what I consider the best time of human history.
As a young millennial who is currently 24, with 60, 70+boomer parents, a Gen X older sibling who passed along their handmedowns, not getting our first home computer till 2002, I had a bizarre experience of watching the world change from analog to digital.
I am just too young
I just say I'm a 90s kid, sayin' you're a millennial pretty much says you're just a smartphone addict and I wish smartphones didn't exist.
I remember being a teenager when restaurants had a smoking section and thinking “How is that smoke staying in their section when I could still smell it in non-smoking?”
Strange time to be alive for sure.
It was even more comical to have a smoking section on planes
It's when they decided that they could take any God given right from the people. We caved and can see how that turned out in hindsight.
@@MrOuttheir forced sterilisation of certain segments of the population would increase our overall health. I guess you'd be in support of that too?
@@mk-lr8ok that’s what people don’t understand or don’t want to understand. It’s when the public bent over for blanket smoking bans that they got the green light to do almost every other nanny state ban since. “I don’t smoke so it doesn’t affect me” until they decide to do something that does affect you.

Checkmate!
Markie Post, featured in the "beans and frank" scene from "Something About Mary" just passed, losing her battle with cancer. A great actress with wonderful comedic timing!
Damn, I just saw that (after reading your post). Rest in Peace Markie Post.
The second "Night Court" actor to pass this year.
"he was masturbating!" 😂
1998, that year was a wonderful year for my young self. I also remember purchasing the Lauryn Hill and Outkast cd's that year also.
I was 8/9 in '98. It's probably my childhood innocence but I just miss everything about that time. It all seemed a lot slower and easier than right now.
it was such a great time to be a teenager. I'm sure it was good being younger too, but I can remember a time being a young adult when politics weren't the indication of what kind of American you were and everyone got along a lot better.
@@malloy5641 So true. I think 9/11 is what caused so much polarization. We’ll get back to what we were but it will take time.
That's because you were 8/9.
Yea. I know if I were 8/9 again right now I'd say the same thing about this year.
I was 12 in 97 and I felt the same way about the 97 episode, yet almost all of 1998's events remain in my general consciousness. The break from childhood to adolescence is abrupt AF.
Glad you mentioned Phil Hartman’s murder. He was a true genius & I hope his screen presence isn’t lost to future generations.
It was a huge shock through the entertainment industry and to fans bc Hartman was a quiet introverted Everyman who didn’t live the type of life that would land someone on a ‘most shocking moments’ list…he was the last person anyone expected to be targeted for a violent crime
1998 - when I graduated right out of high school and went straight to art school with big dreams. I learned the hard way that dreams don't last and financial aid was too fucking confusing.
Then you joined a German party🤔
@@ShubhamMishrabro I knew someone would make this comment 😂
That is the year I graduated high school.
@@btetschner mine too!
Well that big art factory just opened up down the street so maybe you can still pursue your dreams
Marathoned these way too many times. Love them, the music, the editing, the voice, the content, its all perfect.
Feels just like yesterday when I graduated, but after watching this video, 98 just seems like such a long time ago.
Weren't things so much different back then? I graduate high school that year too.
@@rejecteddriftwood314 Isn't it interesting how many things that we liked are still popular today? Michael Jordan is still well known and people still talk about Seinfeld. Google was founded that year too.
It wasn’t but so long ago. Live moves quickly!
The 90's rocked!
Aww, man! Seeing Markie Post in There’s Something About Mary just reminds me that she JUST passed away…
I loved her in Night Court in the 80s. That cast was epic.
Same 😞she was one of my first crushes ❤️
This year saw a lot of legendary video games released, including:
Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot 3, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Banjo-Kazooie, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Rainbow Six, and MediEvil, just to name a few. Gaming was AMAZING back then
Yeah, 98 was one of those epic years where a huge number of groundbreaking games were released.
Ocarina of Time, Fallout 2, Resident Evil 2, Starcraft, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter Alpha 3, etc...
Goosebumps,are you afraid of the dark we’re 2 of my favorite things from the 1990s
Wasn't The Werewolf of Fever Swamp (from Goosebumps) shown as a prime time special? Not sure if that was 98, but I seem to recall it was shown later than episodes usually were.
Are You Afraid of the Dark? was great too btw.
@@starmnsixty1209 yes the werewolf of fever of swamp is from goosebumps
Kids today will NEVER understand the "Someone's on the phone I can't use the internet" meme
I remember dial up. We had a cell phones so ppl could call
I was in my 20’s and looked gorgeous. That was a loooong time ago. Now I just look like an old man who USED to be good looking. Ha!
I was a very popular radio DJ and a college student. I had a great group of friends back then. We had a lot of good times. Yeah, I miss the 90’s thanks for the video.
I still look fantastic.
I can relate. I turned 20 in 1998, was skinny and beautiful. Now I'm curvy and mildly attractive.
@@kevinnickel7529 haha love your confidence 😂
Well, thank you..how very nice of you.
@@carriefawcett9990On the Strength:
I say that if you are 'curvy' then you are 'wildly 💖' not 'mildly ' attractive...straight up and for real 👏🥂👌
This might be my favorite year of all history. I was a kid, life was simple and the art/entertainment is unmatched. Things were so different then…
Massive attack- mezzanine... favourite album of that year 🔥
The year graduated hs, I love seeing these and catching up on all the neat things I was too busy to care about back then.
graduated that year too...feel the same way when I watch these.
In 20 years we'll be saying the same about 2021.
Year I graduated high school too. It is strange thinking about that being the end of Seinfeld, I still quote the show every once in a while. George was so funny.
I remember 95% of these events. I was eleven and it was the year I became fully aware of the world around me. Things like this remind me of how impactful it was.
I had a Dreamcast. I was so sad when it went belly up. It was a great console.
i feel this
RIP Markie Post🖤🖤🖤
@NikK -O She died of cancer.
Here are the top 10 songs of 1998, according to the Billboard year-end singles chart:
10. I Don't Want to Wait- Paula Cole
9. Nice & Slow- Usher
8. Candle in the Wind 1997- Elton John
7. All My Life- K-Ci & JoJo
6. Together Again- Janet Jackson
5. How Do I Live- LeAnn Rimes
4. Truly Madly Deeply- Savage Garden
3. You're Still the One- Shania Twain
2. The Boy is Mine- Brandy and Monica
1. Too Close- Next
Seeing 98 Godzilla made me giddy. Damn nostalgia lol
I saw it in a drive in theater, made that movie watchable.
That P Diddy song off the soundtrack was a banger too
@@rebeccagibbs4128 That was what I was thinking.
PolPot getting house arrest is STILL a wildly absurd sentence.
I wonder if they made him drug test once a month too…smh
1999? My year aka the year I was born! Can't wait for the episode. Any people from 1999 here?
In my opinion the Dreamcast was the most underrated console ever. I loved playing Ready to Rumble and Crazy Taxi on it.
Easily the definitive “ahead of its time” console.
can somebody explain that system like the screen on the controller?
right? Was such a great system, too bad SEGA was in over their head. They still have people that make games for the Dreamcast...I have no idea how they play them though....
@@firstnameiii7270 it was called a VMU or virtual memory unit. If i remember correctly. It was basically your memory card for saves that had a lcd screen on it that you could play mini games on. It would plug into your controller.
Powerstone
R.I.P. Phil Hartman and Sonny Bono!😭❤️📺🎶
$1.99 for a McDonald's "Happy Meal"
Ah,the good ol days...
What is the price now in usa?
@@peteksalman 4.99
16:25 I still am in shock about _Saving Private Ryan_ losing Best Picture to _Shakespear In Love._
Yeah, that was solely due to Harvey Weinstein. Look it up.
Gwyneth screwed Harvey for that Oscar.
Brad broke up with her and threatened Harvey.
It’s why Brad never won an Oscar til Harvey went to prison.
At the end, previewing for the 1999 episode the narration alludes to The Matrix, and shows a tiny clip from Fight Club. Both were released in 1999, as were The Green Mile and The Sixth Sense.
American Beauty won the top categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay and Best Photography) in 2000, the year in all these films were eligible for nomination.
The Matrix was only nominated for technical awards (Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Visual Effects), though it won them and Fight Club was only nominated for sound effects editing, losing out to The Matrix.
American Beauty was placed on lists of worst Best Picture winners long before Kevin Spacey's comeuppance happened. All of those other films with the possible exception of The Sixth Sense were either more consequential, better , or both than American Beauty
its always fun to look back at nominees and see how many became classics while the winners languished in obscurity. Also the year harvey weinstein nailed the 'cash for oscar' game
@@FionaOfMountLawley Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Great job in putting these videos together. I can't imagine the time it takes to do this, so thank you very much. I'd love to see 60's and 70's time-line videos.
Best part of the weekend here
My very own Delorean. All thanks to The Weird History Channel.
I was 17, I started riding a beautiful motorbike, got my first job and my Nokia 3310 life was good
Finally. Been waiting what feels like forever for 1998 to come out.
Turned 14 half way thru the year
I love the edited version of The Big Lebowski on regular cable TV... "This is what it's like, Larry, when you FIND a stranger in the ALPS"
Thank you for sharing my story with your listeners. 😊
1999 we gonna see Fight Club, Ricky Martin, that Cuban boy , Sopranos, West Wing, Ed Edd N Eddy, Eyes Wide Shut considered since this was Stanley Kubrick final film when he died the same year and his only film of the 1990s, Matrix say less, Sixth Sense, Star Wars episode 1, Columbine Massacre, Panama got control of the Canal, JFK Jr death, Boris Yeslin stepping down and welcoming to the Vladimir Putin show in Russia.
And I forgot about Spongebob lol
And Woodstock
I know its alot but another thing The Blair Witch Project the first found footage film
Batman Beyond, Rocket Power, Pokemon on WB, Dragon Ball Z when we finally see the entire Frieza saga instead of the reruns to The Arrival of Raditiz on Toonami, and Super Smash Bros
@@jordandawkins1747 I remember the Dragon Ball Z part i thought it was gonna be forever til funimation got control and put out the rest of the Frieza story for us to see even though the Frieza story ran from 1990 to 1991 in Japan
I was 18 for all of the year until New Year's Eve. I graduated from high school. 1998 seems like yesterday. Time flies!
Nothing better than a Sunday morning with a new Timeline.
The Dreamcast may have failed, but its one helluva system and has a fantastic library.
I bought mine on 9/9/99 and it still works. I still have around 20 games for it. One of the best consoles ever made.
been waiting for this!thank you!
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What an incredible year!
---TIMELINE ROCKS---
Missed you guys!!! Awesome!!!
Finally! A year I was old enough to remember decently! This was extra fun. So interesting to learn about old times too though
talk about a coincidence, this vid was uploaded right after i asked whens the next timeline video gonna come out!
The year I was born!! Finally a comprehensive video on what happens when I was just 0 years old!
if you had been born in china you'd have already been 1!
Great year. Tons of great movies and music. The Dawn of Britney. Creek. Homerun chase. Elway gets his 1st super bowl. Vikings win 15 games (don't recall how that season ended).
nothing about pokemon? that was huge in 98
Ehhh not for me I was 17 but my little brother was all over thar shit hehe
I was I the 3rd grade watching Hey Arnold, Dexter's Labtory, Daria, Celebrity Death match & playing 007 on N64.
I'm waiting for 2060, when you'll make a timeline on 2020, cancel culture, blm, covid, and everything.......
And WAP too
He already did at the end of 2020
And Lil Nas X 😂😂
*Consequence culture is a better term for it
They left out the passings of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Barry Goldwater, George Wallace, Buffalo Bob Smith, and Shari Lewis.
1998 - the year that I turn 10. Missing the $1.99 Happy Meals though.
The glory days. When McNuggets were still made with greasy chicken rather than recycled packing peanuts, and had those little grissly chunks in every 3rd one you bit into. You know the ones.
Love this channel 💗
Such a great time. A lot of this year kind-of blends and I forgot some because over the summer until August my dad was slowly dying.
💚
Do THE 1970s!!!!!
I identify as 1st comment.
Weird History, please keep this videos coming.
1998 was my favorite year in the 90s…
Love these series of videos you guys produce! Absolutely awesome! You guys should do a time line of the 50’s and 60’s
Been waiting for this one to drop. My birth year
Love your videos!!!
I feel so happy with these videos 😀
Love the 90s🥰😃
Glad u guys took the time to show The Truman Show. The film is an absolute masterpiece
I graduated high school in 1998! I went to college for a few years with a journalism major, dropped out and went to culinary school where I got an associates degree in culinary arts.
I like these timeline videos, but man, I can't count how many times I've thought to myself "no way these two events happened in the same year!" 😅
Man, this channel is so dope! Nostalgia in its purest form!
What I miss about the 90’s ….EVERYTHING…..and I think most would agree…
Not if you grew up in the 80's.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 I did grow up in the 80’s I agree with you….but at least the 90’s were better than this pathetic world we now live..always asking myself how did it get this bad….
@@nationalduo4945 Even in the 1980's, with the threat of nuclear annihilation at the hands of the Soviets, it was better than these modern times. Advertising and pop culture have raised several generations now, and it's just terrible. Truth or authenticity are rarely seen. Everything is hyper-partisan. Everyone is faux-offended. All the real problems of the world are ignored. Few appreciate what they have because they're not experiencing the wider world.
Basically all that we hoped for in the 80's in 90's regarding the future have turned out opposite. So when young people talk to me about hope for the future today, I roll my eyes and think to myself _It will only get worse, my child._
Another great timeline 1998 will always be one of my favorite years ever was at the peak of my childhood great year for wrestling and Video games
We can’t forget about the debut of Gorillaz!!
yessir Timeline is back these are the best
Also, in 1998 was release Virtual XI, a great and often misunderstood album from the best band in the world!
Zizou's red card was not immediate. Play was stopped and replay was used. True story.
I graduated high school in 1998. It doesn't seem that long ago, but it really was!
Yep I was born a year later i will be 22 in October
Thanks for this! 🌐 Since you asked, my highlight of 1998 was mostly illustrated by movies... DEEP IMPACT, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, THE FACULTY, THE WEDDING SINGER, MEET JOE BLACK, A BUG'S LIFE, WILD THINGS, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME, MULAN, RUSHMORE, YOU'VE GOT MAIL, STEPMOM, PATCH ADAMS, LOST IN SPACE, GREAT EXPECTATIONS, SLIDING DOORS, THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO, APT PUPIL, VELVET GOLDMINE, GODS AND MONSTERS, WAKING NED DEVINE, BELOVED and PLEASANTVILLE. To a lesser degree, tv shows like FRIENDS, ALLY MCBEAL and THE X-FILES also played a significant role in my entertainment/inspiration.
Have to agree, movies, and TV were still great in the 90s.
Crazy I showed my parents the timeline series when eating lunch and now we can’t stop watching these lol
Sega knew the Dreamcast wasn't going to sell well. They released it knowing, at most, they'd get some return on investment before the PS2 dropped. Rightfully so, they knew the PS2 would decimate the console market's competitors. It was a neat system but Sony's always been on the up and up in making their consoles multi-functional, which is a huge selling point for parents.
I love how you put commercials from 98 in there lol
Omg I just discovered these videos! The best thing ever!
Was just listening to Aquemini yesterday
Holds up
My favorite Outkast album.
Omg, I love these videos!! This was while I was growing up and it's crazy. I make my kids watch them and they think it's so crazy. Takes us hours to get thru one of these videos. They have questions and I have answers and stories. Thank you guys!!
I graduated from high school this year. I also joined the US Air Force in 98. Best decision I ever made! If I could re-live my life it would be from that point forward.
I was also really into Aggressive inline skating. I was passionate about it, little did I know that it was in fact just a fad. I do wish it was still a thing today.
Britney's the highlight of my 1998.
Wow, these videos brings back memories, I graduated high school in 1998😀…gosh I’m getting old 😆😁😁
Should be Britney's prerogative to lead her life as she pleases, yet they won't let her. For longer than a decade now.
This has to stop.
I hate her music but she needs to be free. Civil rights come before music. She's not a terrorist or rapist like Cosby and Trump.
always waiting for this... thank so much
When you guys hit 2000 are you going to 2010? Maybe you could cover the 40’s and 50’s as well because why not? Great series.
I think he did a poll on this I believe he is gonna do the 50s
@RYLE SALUNGA they did the 70s already I think. Great series!
@RYLE SALUNGA aw man. :( I got duped. Hope they end up doing their own version of the 70s then!
@@nick-wl8hf - I kinda hope so. What else do people know about the 1950s besides rock n' roll and b&w TV and supposedly rampant bigotry?
@@chrisrj9871 supposedly rampant bigotry? Have you not picked up a history book
Another great Video
You didn't mention Super Bowl 32 when the Denver Broncos won their very first of their two part Lombardis of the final two years of the 90s run especially when Terrell Davis was mvp after coming back from a migraine that temporarily blinded him and John Elway helicopter run that was the pivotal point especially since he busted his ass to win it after 3 failed super bowl appearances in the 80s I hope you mentioned his retirement after the next video when he won his second and final super bowl against the Atlanta Falcons before the Falcons was 28-3
Yeah, the Broncos beat the Packers. I'm a die hard Packer fan, as they are the best NFL franchise. Elway and the Broncos did earn that win. I did not think they would defeat the Pack.
They almost never menion football outside of OJ, honestly I would think the championship of each major sport like baseball football basketball & hockey would be notable, not just the Bulls.
@@nonprogrediestregredi1711 The Packers won Superbowls I, II and XXXI, but lost Superbowl XXXII. The Packers would not win again until Superbowl XLV.
@@Justin-Hill-1987 Yes, I know this. Were you pointing it out for a particular reason?
@@peytonsawyer9461 they mentioned football in the 90, 91, and 92 episodes on timeline. SB 32 was memorable because you got two quarterbacks from the 80s and 90s clashing and sadly it was Bret Farve second and last super bowl appearance TD three touchdowns after coming from that migraine and Elway got tossed up in the air running close of his second rushing touchdown which was the most famous highlight of the NFL they talk about all the other sports on this episode but only NFL related was Tom Clancy nearly brought the Vikings plus the same year Peyton Manning and Randy Moss came in the league as well as Ryan" Don't Talk to Me, Knock It Off" Leaf
Cannot get enough of this amazing content. Just FYI, Britney is spelled with one T. Let’s not miss any views from misspelled tags shall we 🤍
Yay! You guys saw my comment! 👋🏽
It's BRITNEY bitch! LOL I complained about the misspelling too 🤣
16:36 oh cool, they showed all of the parts of the Saving Private Ryan intro landing scene without any blood
I’ve been waiting so long for this one thank you !!!
I remember how much fun the world was back then.
We actually still had freedom in America.
The internet was new and people still had commonsense.
Cell phones were few and far between.
It was good times.
hop onto the blockchain and you can re-experience the beginning of the internet
😂😂😂Right....we dont have freedom in America. Okay Irene 😂
We are in the top 15 of most free. But if you dont like freedom you can leave and all that shit.
@@isaiahbowers3712
You don’t think we are less free now than then??
That means you’re either too young or not smart enough to realize the difference between now and then.
@@deepthought1987 I lived it, don’t want to again
@@irenec7665 I dont think you can even conceive what your rights are. Let alone fathom not having them.
There has been zero change to any amendment since the 27th was introduced in 1992.
You being off your rocker and thinking you've lost something doesn't make it true.
Like many others here this was the year I graduated from high school. Kinda wish I could go back and do things better but I doubt it would actually turn out any better than it has. The 90s were great though. Truly fond memories of that decade. Probably the best decade of my life.
I was 5 or 6 in 1998
Fellow class of 98 grad here
This channel is great don't get me wrong I really like the content you guys put out but this is easily the best thing you guys release on this channel. I wish they were weekly. Keep it up dudes
I get off of work and THIS is waiting for me....💓!
