Barbie’s Birthday at Disney World!
Big thanks to Amanda F. for tonight’s very odd video suggestion. Amanda described it as “probably the most ’90s thing ever,” and from the little I’ve seen so far, I can’t really disagree:
It’s an encode of the Barbie Birthday Party at Walt Disney World videocassette, from 1994. Watch it for a life-changing experience!
Free-For-All Friday Thread #9!
There’s a chance I won’t be home before midnight, so just in case, I’m gonna toss this one up early. Here’s your Free-For-All Friday Thread! Talk about whatever!
Donald Duck and the Gorilla!

ALF: The First Episode!
Here’s the first episode of ALF, from 1986:
During the first few seasons, I was totally obsessed with this show. It may have been the first prime time sitcom that I was ever truly invested in.
I don’t know if it comes through in the pilot, but the writing and the jokes during ALF’s first season were pretty damn great. Unexpected, weird and sometimes even edgy. The show would later evolve (or devolve) into something with a little less bite, but only as an adult am I able to tell the difference.
