    • Sick

      Find some pics from the '70s and then look at your parental units — that will give you an idea 😛

    • Jorge V.

      nowadays who has the time for a hairstyle like this?

      • troy

        What's funny is this shit's comming back, every middle school kid wears skinny jeans and loud bright prints just like the 80's.

  • D-Bag Steve

    I feel like if I could go back to the 80s, I could kick all the guys asses and get the finest bitches.

    • ...

      Bitches love douchebags.

  • nosir

    Hey: the 80-ies were hard on everyone, ok? I have some photos of myself from that decade that would make a lot of these look rather normal.
    # 26 is cool in my book. Look at that jacket 🙂

    • HANK

      Ya the jacket is pretty dope

  • CE25

    #12 I would also hide my face if I were him…

    #24 : Michael Moore, is that you?

  • WordBoss

    #4 Awkward? I strongly disagree…Anthony Michael Hall was huge in the 80's

    • WhoMe?

      I thought it was Jonathon from Who's The Boss?

  • bbqboobs

    #24 Straight Gangsta!

    • Lukas

      Is that Michael Moore?

      • Larry

    Also, #12, Accepts a pity date. Leaves her there.

  • Motofoxe

    Man those were great times. I remember them well. The hair was high and the pants even higher.

    • Sir Stix-a-lot

      and #9 definitely has the kind of booty that I could saddle up to!

  • Pufffdragon

    #10 Steve Urkel!
    #28 looks like she wants to run but is held by his awesome virgin grip

    • Choppers

      #28 is that Thomas Dolby?
