The past does not become the past until we look at the old pictures in the present. Only then do we realize how weird everything was, especially in the shoddy 1980s, right when we thought The Future had arrived, what with the music videos and personal computers and scrambled soft-porn movies delivered directly to our parents' house via cable. America's only perfect website, Internet K-Hole (which has occasional/ridiculous nudity) is a functioning time machine. Use it.

Ed Koch, who died this morning at 88, was the the only mayor New York City had during its legendarily gritty 1980s, and while his death comes far too late to be the end of an era, it serves as another reminder of how different the city was during his tenure.

Fergie Oliver, co-host of hit 80s Canadian game show, Just Like Mom, seems to have a special place in his heart for the little girls onstage, distracting his young contestants with Humbert Humbert hubba-hubbas.

Jazzercise founder Judy Sheppard Missett gets intense about her workout, bouncing her "boogie body" as shouts frantically in time. Jazz-handing and shrieking positive reinforcement like a manic banshee, she is terrifying and wonderful—a real-life Kristen Wiig character.

In a reimagined Duck Tales intro, the Beagle Boys enact sexually charged violence against Webby Vanderquack in a ransom plot designed only to replenish the sadistic Scrooge McDuck's money swimming pool. Why Disney never developed the storyline is a mystery.

Tailgating before a Judas Priest concert, a motley crew of mostly shirtless mid-Atlantic metalheads unites to drink, and yell, and throw the sign of the horns—worshiping the devil music; achieving ecstasy just hanging out.

This scene from the cheesy 80s cult classic, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, is one of the most bizarrely entertaining deaths in movie history. When a skateboarding, blow-up doll wielding assassin attacks, there's only one weapon fit for retaliation: a bazooka.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty spouted gibberish, twisted his horrible visage, and killed himself. This Kinder Surprise commercial was banned when children found the freakish version of the nursery rhyme hero too terrifying for broadcast television. Wabadoobie!
