What was shitty in the 80s/90s in your country?

How are the Irish, Scottish, and Welsh broads? They seem like they'd be more fun than English women

Can be, but they're also drunker, hairier and smellier. Swings and roundabouts.

Sitcom acting was bottom of the fucking barrel. You can argue it still sucks, thus it has always sucked. But there is something especially terrible about BAD 80s-90s acting in sitcoms (and some movies produced by/with sitcom talent.) Over the top facial expressions like it's a silent movie. This was the era where Jim Norton was influenced. And the slang is just annoying.

The whole presentation in the 80s was trash like that. They were living in a very specific little insignificant time frame that they thought was going to last forever. It was arrogance. Watch a movie from the 80s and marvel at the extremely dated shit going on, and how annoying it would be even 5 years after the fact.

Wasn’t Married with Children in the 90’s? That show rules.

No good Ben & Jerry's type ice cream. Only "vanilla", "chocolate", "pear" and so on. In fact, any type of fun excess was frowned upon.

I was thinking about that a while back, like remember what a big deal it was when they debuted strawberry filmjölk?

I'm hard pressed to think of anything that didn't fucking rule in the 90s. I had a great childhood. I have no reason to be the way I am.

Edit: fashion. Women looked like old ladies. My mom had a perm and giant Peggy Hill glasses.

It's tough because I grew up in the 90s and technology was really kicking in and making things not suck.

To be fair, that earth geezer file is great.

Married With Children was a self-aware parody of sitcoms.
