Jumping Jiggowatts! You Can Time Travel!

Without need of a Delorian or any nifty contraption created by H.G. Wells, you too can time travel! That's right. All you need is a good internet connection and this lens and, by golly, you'll be back in the 1980s in no time!

Okay, fasten your seatbelts. Keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times. You can pick up your souvenir Rubik's Cubes and stuffed Smurfs in the gift shop on the way out. 

Gotta Have Some Hair Bands

I just have one thing to say: Ogilvie made a lot of money in the 80s. Hope they enjoyed it.

Oh. And Sebastian Bach is/was still pretty awesome as Gil on Gilmore Girls.

Dancing With Yourself

In your travels back in time, you don't want to stick out too much. Remember Marty McFly during the Enchantment Under the Sea dance in "Back to the Future?"

You don't want that to be you. Here's a crash course in 80s dancing courtesy of a few 80s movies. Hint: Lots of arm movement. Little booty movement. That came later in the 90s.

80s Commercials

Watch this and you'll know: the 80s were full of ridiculous commercials. Just check out the Simon commercial at the end and try not to laugh until your sides hurt. Drugs were big in the 80s, ya know.

Cartoons were a big part of the 80s. Bow down before them, Grasshopper.

Kel has a love of the 80s, Muppets, Disney and other assorted madness. You can usually find her flitting between the 80s and present day in her Delorian.... more »
