->''One bonus of being an adult is grossly misusing modern slang on purpose and watching my students cry inside]]. A fine example: the other day I pointed at a piece of artwork and while looking them right in the eyes, went 'Man, is that bae or what, huh?' The looks on their faces were something I will treasure for years...''

->''The lamest thing I have ever seen in my life happened when I was 16. A group of cheerleaders did the [[Music/MCHammer hammer dance]] to the Walt Disney song [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs "Hi-Ho."]] It was the lamest thing I have ever seen, and I think, when I die, it will remain so.''

->''I’m pretty sure all the tough guys out there with “THUG LIFE” tattooed across their knuckles or shoulders or whatever would be horrified if they found out that {{ComicStrip/Garfield}} had gotten the phrase inked onto his fuzzy orange belly. But {{ComicStrip/Heathcliff}}? Heathcliff’s a tougher breed, and is also less ubiquitous and commercial. I’m going to choose to believe that, after the initial shock, there would be grudging respect for this cartoon within the thug life tattoo community.''

->''In a pre-taped scolding of Wrestling/TripleH, {{Wrestling/Vince|McMahon}} advised The Game without irony to "take a chill pill," a phrase he may have recently heard on ''Series/FamilyMatters.

->''She was conceptualised by middle class men who gave her god-awful censored street slang to speak, and attempts to be contemporary, which fall flat because the show moves on in leaps and bounds so quickly. Lifestyles too: what seemed hip and 'wicked' in {{the eighties}} is now looked back upon with unflattering views... No actor could make this dialogue sound authentic; it's enough to challenge the Kings and Queens of the British acting hierarchy.''

->''One of the categories on Monday night’s episode of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' was called ''It’s A Rap'' and all the questions-phrased-as-answers were song lyrics that Alex Trebek was forced to – quote unquote – rap. And I say forced, because he sounded like he had a gun held to his head; there was about as much rhythmic flow as a prisoner of war during the filming of a hostage video... Wait a second…the category was called ''It’s A Rap''? ‘It’s A Rap’ also happens to be the name of Robert Goulet’s rap album in the Creator/WillFerrell [[Series/SaturdayNightLive SNL]] sketch of the same name (actually, the full title is ''The Coconut Bangers’ Ball: It’s A Rap''). And Will Ferrell also used to play Alex Trebek in the SNL Celebrity Jeopardy sketches. [[PoesLaw FULL CIRCLE.]]''

->''In Doritos' defense, [[TurnOfTheMillennium the early aughts]] were a terrible time for all of us. I tried to figure out when specifically this had happened, and I came to the perhaps not all that surprising conclusion that Doritos appears to have attempted to expunge all evidence of the ''Cooler Ranchening'' from the internet. The only place I could even find a mention of it happening was on Doritos' Wikipedia page — they appear to have disavowed all knowledge of the time they committed an unspeakable [[PerfectlyCromulentWord crime against grammar]] in the name of edgy marketing. You can find images online, like the one I'm using here, but they're invariably grainy and outdated. They're basically the Zapruder Footage of corn chips.''

->''This film was the result of an avalanche of unfortunate decisions. We'll never see anything like ''Cool As Ice'' again. It was based around such a rapidly fleeting concept of cool that by the time it hit theaters, it was less of a culture shock to walk in on a slave auction. After they finished this story of Vanilla Ice as himself the motorcycle crimefighter, there was enough [[{{Narm}} unintentional comedy]] that they had to give irony a producer credit.''

->'''Chris:''' Martin sounds exactly like a middle-aged white dude trying to write an authentic inner-city black kid and basing it entirely on cartoons from [[TheNineties the ’90s]]. He’s seriously one 'that’s wack!' away from just collapsing under the weight of it.\\
'''David:''' I had to stop the movie and cry in the bathroom as soon as he quoted the chorus of [[Music/WuTangClan “C.R.E.A.M.”]]

->''The geeky themes of the film are very much at odds with the cooler “jock” humour. It never seems entirely clear whether ''{{Film/Pixels}}'' is trying to laugh at or with certain segments of nerd culture, with the movie frequently treating Kevin James and Adam Sandler as cool kids who just happen to like eighties video games.''

->''It's arguably the case that nothing is more horrific than the title screen of ''[[Literature/WheresWaldo The Great Waldo Search]]'', a memorable entry into the canon of 'the terrible things that happen when white people attempt to insert rap into things.' Bad chipset music with a bad synthesized voice shouting 'Where's Waldo' at frequent intervals. In that exact tone that evokes 'Oh God, white people hired a black guy to add a brief moment of rap to this in order to make it cool.' For other examples, try {{Music/REM}}'s 'Radio Song' or, of course, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up863eQKGUI&feature=kp Don't Copy That Floppy.]]''

->''Despite the many hours of literary labor, Nixon's style was seldom felicitous... 'to see it like it is, and to tell it like it is,' argot [[PopCultureIsolation just slightly wrong for now]] but to Nixon 'tell it like it is' must sound positively raunchy, the sort of thing that had he been classy [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy Jack Kennedy]] he might have heard at Vegas, sitting around with [[Creator/RatPack the Clan]] and their back-scratchers.''

->''A quiet episode begins with [[DawsonCasting a thirty-year-old surf dude background extra]], who skateboards awkwardly into the front of the classroom, and all the way down the short, narrow row of desks, before taking his seat at the back. As the plot unfolds, I suppose there's a metaphor to be had in its opening drawing your focus on a clumsily drawn character of committee-penned cool.''
