12/31/99.

Off topic but could u imagine if social media existed back then with the whole Y2K shyt around the corner

It'd go haywire, when corona virus hit that was a tease of how it woulda been in the stores

And that shyt probably weighed 500lbs

The god old days

The tv in my parents crib in 99 was hefty as fukk

It might just be me, but I feel like this video was filmed last week.

Yeah, that could be a new trend now that I think about it, with people messing with AI, you could just analog it and make fake vintage videos with a camcorder from the goodwill

Back when 100k meant something

Grew up with this tv. Long ass shelf life.

I remember having these projection tvs growing up my dad got rid of his a year ago. he tried to donate the shyt and they was like we can't do shyt with that

I still have my 52' sharp aquos working from 2006. Works great for my kids to watch Netflix on. What's crazy tho is ive had 4 other flat screens since and they all tapped out.

I have a samsung 40 inch from 2008 it died but i googled and just bought some capacitors and it came back to life, its on its last legs now though again

We had an old floor model, but if I turned the tv to channel 3 instead of four, I was able to kinda see the fukking on the spice channel


Beating off like crazy to a bunch of squiggly ass lines

Bought a 32 inch sony trinitron TV back in 06. It was so heavy and big it wouldn't fit in my back seat . Had to take it out the box in the parking lot to get it to fit lol

I remember paying $1200 for my first 40" flatscreen tv in 2008, and I thought I was getting a bargain at the time

EDIT: I found a struggle picture from back in the day for reference.

the crib was dusty

$1200 in 2008?


You’re crazy.

If spotify was around in 99 this song would have charted high on Billboard on NYE 99 even though it came out in the 80s







Along with this Prince classic

I tried to swap the boards on my Panasonic plasma but i couldnt get it work. I couldn't even imagine trying to solder. Lol

TVs are only cheap so you will go out and by one and they make their money back by talking you into subscriptions and selling the data they collect on you through your TV

And no one cares.

Funny. My coworker just did this shyt last week at target.

Tv used to be hella expensive i remember using my parents hand me down tv with dial for the channels up until like 1997.

you could connect a cable box to it, and use a universal remote with the cable box though

I remember my grandma having a TV like that. The antenna was replaced with a hanger
