Im working on a new video series on my youtube channel that will be called something like " You know Your An 80s Kid If...".



I will be listing off and maybe even doing some quick reenactments of some 80s tropes.  I have a pretty descent list of things I want to talk about in each video, but I wanted to start this thread so you guys might be able to help me with stuff I might not have thought of??  



Heres the Current list I have.  PLEASE help me add to it!  Thanks!
