I got 16/24. I didn’t get a lot of the international ones. I’m annoyed, I swore the sheep was named Lucy and I couldn’t remember the gymnast.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

14. Feels like I remember juuuust about the right amount of the 90s.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

20, you phonies!

(I struggled to remember the brother killers until I thought about The Cable Guy. Appropriate, I suppose.)

As with Gene's claim to America's #1 chickenfoot fan, the key to 90s nostalgia is not remembering much of it.

A real Gin Blossoms superfan wouldn’t say that.

The 90s weren't about some space shuttle taking off that no one remembers. The 90s were about Otter Pops. :cool:

There is a profound truth about America right there.

(It's amazing to me that people went from Apollo XI landing on the moon as an epochal moment of human achievement to being bored of it all within a few years. Yeah, yeah, landing on the moon, what else can you do?)

15 and 15. Second one was easier. "This agreement, creating a large tariff-free zone linking three major countries, goes into effect" That was not on my radar when I was 11. Catching new episodes of The State, however, was. :cool:
