->"We, we're not two years into the nineties, and already it's shaping up as lame, boring stupid decade that we're just going to have to suffer through. Responsibility, restraint, recession. There's no escape! Or is there? Maybe you need the ultimate vacation. A trip to [[TheEighties the 1980s]]."

->''I watched all 3 hours of last night’s American Music Awards and it [[INeedAFreakingDrink took a lot of the sweet nectar]] to get through it. I’m surprised I’m not typing this from a hospital bed as a nurse stands next to me, wringing the booze out of my liver before shoving it back up my asshole. Watching it felt like being stuck in a suburban 10-year-old’s [=iTunes=] playlist. It was one shit song after another and at one point I weeped for our nation’s children, because when I was a kid our ears were filled with the artistic melodies put out by real artists like Music/MilliVanilli and Music/VanillaIce.''

->''Blame it on eight years of [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]]... Blame it on seven years of ''Series/{{Dynasty}}''... [[TheEighties the '80s]] saw a frenzy of lotteries and jackpots, and a nation of people crazed to win them. With tonight's announcement, of the 'Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes' winner, we put a wrap on the decade of greed of the '80s, and more into a decade of more reasoned personal goals. Across the country, the shrieks of hedonism are being replaced by the nice, calm voices of hard working people concerned about the needs of others.''

->''The first time someone in the '90s thought to [[TotallyRadical put on sunglasses and stand in front of graffiti]], Satan laughed and said, 'That's "That's exactly how I'm going to greet that guy when his filthy black soul arrives.'''" The trend that doomed individual invented was called [=eXtreme=], and it became the driving force behind every marketing campaign of the decade. Extremeness opened our eyes to radical new truths like how every Mountain Dew drinker is a spazzy piece of shit with nothing to live for. It turbo-charged the [=eXcitement=] of products we already loved and gave us a Dorito flavor that a human colon could actually pass.''

->''Blake strikes me as the ur-Father of [[UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud Freud's]] ''Civilization and Its Discontents'', speaking to the id-driven sales force. In good times, Blake comes across as a parody of all [[BadBoss bad managers]] with his A-B-C rules -- he is Stephen Covey's evil twin. In a bad business climate, however, he is the bearer of profound [[HobbesWasRight Hobbesean truths]], and one feels obliged to internalize him and let him whisper in the back of one's mind, for his is the voice that drives industry.''

[[CrapsaccharineWorld Morose, barbaric children playing joylessly with their unfathomable toys.]] Where comes this dullness in your eyes? How has your century numbed you so? Shall man be given marvels only when he is beyond all wonder? Your days were born in blood and fires, whereof in you I may not see the meanest spark! Your past is pain and iron! Know yourselves! With all your shimmering numbers and your lights, think not to be inured by history... A culture grown disinterested, even in its own abysmal wounds."''
