I'll be honest,

I used to like hostess as a kid. As an adult? Ehhhh. Had better.

I remember how America went crazy when the Twinkies were discontinued. Here's some sad videos to show it.

Where the '80s and '90s had fads, the 2010s have memes. Steamed Hams and Ugandan Knuckles are our Furbies and Pokémon cards. It ain't pretty, but it's a sign o' the times.

Am I the only one who found Tom's "Don't you believe it," to be absolutely terrifying as a kid?


The deep, manly voice is unsettling enough, but what really makes it creepy AF is the echoy sound of the line! I imagine whoever recorded that line did so from across an airplane hangar or something.

I never saw T and J till I started watching CN in 2002. But yeah, that is creepy.

da fuq was that lol? Are we supposed to take that seriously? It reminds me of the endings of 'In the Box' and the 'Sound of "B"':



For the first one, if you crank it up you can hear some really weird ambience they put there at the end for no reason.

Is there a clip online of the Sound of B being used in an actual episode? I'm dying to know how that transitioned into Maria and Gordon on the street or something.

Far as I'm concerned, it stopped airing by the time VCR's were around (at least in the U.S; that was from a Japanese recording with English audio) sooo.... Who knows.

At :58 they silenced the audio but old Grover says " I'll get in the **** box!"
Then listen real carefully at 1:22.

Am I the only one who thinks the ignore feature is kinda pointless on this site?
