    (SPOILER)How do you load a Beta VCR? --- I dunno.

    In Defender, what do you move around in? --- I dunno x2

    What is the significance of "Where's the beef?!" --- In the late 1980's, a Burger King commercial featured three little old ladies dining at a competitor fast food change. When the little old ladies received their meals, one deaf little old lady shouted "Where's the beef?!"

    What was Short Circuit about? --- A robot who's name I can't remember because it's been so long... It was Johnny. He had to stop bad guys. There was also a horrid sequel where he fell in love. Johnny Five! THat's it.

    What brand-name product was named after president Jimmy Carter's brother Billy? --- Billy Beer, duh.

    Fill in the next two letters--"Who Shot....?" --- JR. Dunno who it was. However, I DO know that the episode in which you found out broke viewership records with 78 million, a record which would stand until the M*A*S*H series finale which had 125 million

    Who was Sergeant Joe Slaughter? --- GI Joe, mutha effa

    Who were the Go-Bots? I dunno, but I know who the dino riders were


    However, the fact that I know that mess don't really mean nothing except I know a lot about pop culture xD

    EDIT: Wendy's damn you! Sh'up Yams :<3:

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Wrong, or at least from what I gather. That works, but I don't think he's looking for early '90s answers. Think a big '80s drama that took place in Texas that had the most retarded ending ever. (I know this from I Love The '80s)

    Hey, I'm just throwing guesses out. xD

    In which case, you're thinking of (SPOILER)Dallas, I believe.

    (SPOILER)Good Grief Short Circuit was one of my most favouritistbestest movies ever. If only they let Johnny 5 go to the Police Academy. Weekend at Bernies, Revenge of the Nerds...I think I need to organize some sort of movie rehashing thing.

    Short Circuit was always my favorite, though I really liked the second one when Johnny went all punk at the end and started beating the crap out of people.

    What is the significance of "Where's the beef?!"
    Catch-phrase from a US commercial series promoting red meat. I've seen them on some of those 'greatest ads' compilation shows. But then, like Yamaneko has said, this probably isn't why it's a significant phrase...

    What was Short Circuit about?
    Like others have said, it's about a military super-robot given sentience by a lightning strike.
    Fill in the next two letters--"Who Shot....?"
    JR. I've never seen an epidose of Dallas, but still I know this. Hmm.

    I can answer all of those questions, and I was born in 1985. That means that I was barely even sentient during the 80s, and I still know all of that.
    No.

    I'm old enough to have used Beta, except my family didn't own a VCR until the early 1990s by which point Beta was pretty much crushed into nonexistence by VHS, so I've never actually used one.

    Actually, I hadn't heard of Mondale using the "Where's the Beef" line.

    When I was a kid it was all over the TV with the Wendy's commercials. This little crotchety old lady would go to The Competitor's restaurant and order a hamburger, and the hamburger patty would be about the size of a quarter, and she'd shout "where's the beef?!"

    It was pretty much the 80's version of "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"--so no, I'm not making some political hint here, or implicating anybody, or anything like that.

    You give too much credit to the American public. Politics over pop culture? Just watch, 20 years from now, the only thing people will remember will be: "that's hot."
