How old are you? No, I don't want a number....

[fire_of_avalon]

(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:

Mr. Burns! xD

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.

[Calliope]

(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.

[Shoeberto]

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.

[Big D]

See if you can tell me....

How do you load a Beta VCR?

(SPOILER)I missed the Beta/VHS wars. Born a little too late.

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.

[Kirobaito]

I'm 17 and was barely alive for the 80's. Don't remember that decade at all.

How do you load a Beta VCR?

(SPOILER)A robot.
What brand-name product was named after president Jimmy Carter's brother Billy?
(SPOILER)Billy Beer.
Fill in the next two letters--"Who Shot....?"
(SPOILER)JR. Though Fort Worth > Dallas
Who was Sergeant Joe Slaughter?
(SPOILER)A wrestler.
Who were the Go-Bots?
(SPOILER)A horrible attempt to rip off Transformers by Hanna-Barbera. They were based on the toys.

Heh. I knew all of them.

[Alixsar]

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.

[eestlinc]

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.

[The Redneck]

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.

[Yamaneko]

Sorry everyone. You were right, I was wrong.

[Miriel]

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."
