Big Johnson (aka the Fail Fads thread)

[Trip]

So we are bored in the office today talking about fail fads. Fads that you look back now at and remember how much of a spectacular douche they made you look like by partaking in the fad. My choice of course is the "Big Johnson" t-shirt craze in the 90's. Name some others.

You know how to get rid of that right? Burn down hot topic.

[Dragonpaco]

how the hell could i have forgot tamagatchi's and furbies? that was indeed dark times for the 90's

[Smittie61984]

I remember Jinco jeans. Jeans made super baggy. (Luckily I was never into those. Got caught in my BMX chain)

Oh damn I remember baby pacifiers in middle school. (Not into those either)

Dixie Outfitters. I laughed at that stuff despite I did redneck shit

The current fad I can't stand. Browning stickers on the back of vehicles despite they couldn't name one Browning firearm if they tried (Much less own one). Oh yeah the John Deere shit that every 14-25 year old city dweller girl wears . I work on John Deere dozers almost everyday and I don't wear that shit. I fucking hate working on a damn backhoe. It's hard ass work and sucks donkey balls for meth. Last thing I want to do is advertise I'm a broke ass monkey who smells like shit everytime I get home.

North Face. Unless you are hiking the North Face of Everest you don't need to spend $250+ on a jacket (Much less 3 of them). Spend $100 less and get Columbia then stitch North Face on it. And if you are really cold and just have to have a warm jacket. Buy a F'n Carhart and be done with it.

I still need to get a "Frankie Say Relax" t-shirt for the hell of it.

Panama Jack clothing (mainly t shirts) and Coca Cola sunglasses

Actually, I wore cowboy boots or hiking boots with Levi's back then, didn't do the Izod polo's, etc (yuppie) thing back then that was the fad at my school. Lots of big hair back then on the girls!


Oh and how about Chia pets?

Yea those aren't "fads"....Fraggle Rock was a show on HBO that really didn't take off that well and certainly never had huge marketing success. Heavy Metal was a popular magazine (I got it:drool:) from which some of the stories were made into a movie. Lastly,the first incarnations of microwaves were certainly a "must have" item but as they are an important appliance in almost all households,they can hardly be labeled a "fad"....

So true. I can put you in contact w/ a couple of dealers in this area that you can play against one another, but the guys in Fayetteville have definately taken care of me and been a great help w/ the Hayabusa and working with my schedule.

PM your emmail and I'll get you the contact info. When's your first "long weekend" memorial day? That would be too long.....

[Mr Lefty]

not sure... we work weekends... so it's hard to say... but I'll also get 12 or so house hunting days when I get back to secure an apt. so i'll probably use one of those days to go up and see you fuckers.

We went in the afternoon and I have discovered an untapped resource of Milfs. And if you skate around and act like you don't give a damn they practicaly rape you on the rink. I have found....

fucking awesome comeback.

[Angee]

Y'all bite me...I was 18 in 1989...

Looking around, I'd say most of the board (or at least the refugees) are in their 30s. We JUST got cable TV in 1980 (only folks with money had it back then), and we had Ataris that only had 3 games...pong, tennis and squash. Hell, that was in black and white too! Damn, I'm getting old...lol

[OneSickPsycho]

fucking awesome comeback.

You can never effectively make fun of someone as self-loathing and horribly crass as I am.

fuck'n rollerblading... but it's still a failed fad as it's not widely accpeted like it was...

Not in the hockey community Ebbs...

I can understand when you mean strapping on rollerblades at a rink and skating around in circles like NASCAR with copious ammounts of flat chested pre-teens to "I'm a Barbie girl".

But I train so hard on my pair in the off season, I go through a new set of wheels a month. Not a fad, but a means of conditioning hell...


How about this fad.... the Hayabusa.... :whistle:

Parachute pants and pokemon may have had a long run as well..... but it doesnt change the fact that it was a totally unnecessary idea...

But i'm with you, I hate those 300+ size tires on sportbikes. Just rediculous and counterproductive....

[Dnyce]

reason for the busa-hondas blackbird

parachute pants.....forgetting your parachute? :idk:

one failed horribly, one didnt lol

huge tires and mega stretches are on the way out i hope....

[askmrjesus]

Fake bullet hole stickers.

Real bullet holes would be much cooler.

I feel the same way about flame paint jobs.

I wouldn't say the busa is totally unnecessary idea... they're outstanding bikes... just like the GSXR line... they just have a cult following... a lot of which are... well... retards...

but for sport touring... busa beats pretty much anything

[Porkchop]

Why do you need THAT much engine for sport touring??? Throw the damn engine in a Gixxer 1000 frame and race the bitch....

why do you need a GSXR1000? a 600 will still put you over 120mph and 0-60 under 4sec...

does that make the GSXR1000 a bad idea?

shit look at the Gold wing... I'm sure it doesn't NEED a 2300cc V6... but it's so you can still get some performance even when it's loaded down.

[Amorok]

I remember the "Hey PeeWee, (insert moronic comment) your fly" shirts people wore. I actually saw someone wearing on in a Wal-Mart a few weeks ago here. I guess nightmares never end.

Also, anything ninja turtles, which still hasn't ended because the cartoons are still on.

So we are bored in the office today talking about fail fads. Fads that you look back now at and remember how much of a spectacular douche they made you look like by partaking in the fad. My choice of course is the "Big Johnson" t-shirt craze in the 90's. Name some others.I actually got a Big Johnson t-shirt for Christmas this year. :rockout:

It's almost acceptable. It was from my step-dad, whos last name is "Johnson". He has some of the shirts himself.

You can never effectively make fun of someone as self-loathing and horribly crass as I am.



I'd still tap that ass.


HAHA!! I'll leave that one be... ;)

Ok, so who listened to REO Speedwagon, April Wine, Journey, Chicago (who just made an album my friend plays on, BTW), Air Supply and Def Leppard?

[LittleTaz]

Yeah, I remember all the fads you're all talking about, some of them my kids went through... why do I remember all of them? Because I lived through DISCO! :panic:

Not to mention, black light posters, faux fur bedspreads, home strobe lights... :lol:

[Angee]

Galcho pants, bell bottoms with flags on the bottoms...oh yeah...that was the 70s... LOL

What about the Afro (even caucasian kids wore them) and people running around with picks in their hair? That seems to be coming back some. As long as the "wings" we used to spray our hair into doesn't come back, I'm ok... :lol

Use of the word FAIL in its current context before, during or after any conversation either online or in the real world.

The operative word is LISTENED.:whistle: I still cringe whenever I run across my old HS pics. Pastel Leisure suit. It was the shit then -eternally HOMO now.

[Papa_Complex]

acid washed jeans
ripped jeans
pins on jeans (like safety pins going up the sides)
scrunchies (there are people who still wear these :cry:)

Those "Tommy Hilfiger" logo place shirts (eg. mexico, etc.).

I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any at the moment.

Some things start out as legitimate, within a certain social set, then broaden out to become a 'fad.' The safety pins thing was one of them, as part of the Punk movement in the late '70s.

Back in high school I had long hair and went around wearing an old Korean War bush jacket that I picked up in a surplus store, in downtown Toronto. I was poor and working to help support my family, while going to school. Bought the thing myself for something like $10.00. It made me the butt of jokes from the "cool kids." Two years later they were all wearing the same thing and I couldn't have replaced mine for less than $30.00.

You folks want a real fail? Pet Rock.
