So, I'm sitting here watching VH1s I Love the 90s, and thinking, some of this stuff wasn't all that long ago, and it was really quite shocking or even noteworthy when it occured, must have been to make VH1's list. One of their crowning moments was the movie The Crying Game... (I think this movie gave some guys I knew nightmares for weeks)

Anyhow... the point of my topic... The year is now 2020... where has the time gone... and playing on your 75 inch digital television that you picked up at a yardsale for 15 dollars is VH1 I love the 2000's. What are some of the things from the past five years that will be fodder for them to make fun of.

You think it will take them 'til 2020? January 2010 won't even be halfway over before the production folks start in on it, not that we'll see it before 2012.

I-Pods
Michael Jackson Arrested
Virgin Mary with Cheese (or, perhaps, the E-Bay fad items of 2003, with Cato Kaelin).
Outkast

I love the Aughties? (00's)

Easy. A segement on how the popularity of hour long summations of all that is pop culture in a year gone by reached their epoch in the Aughties. In other words a segement about "I love the 80's"

onodrim

Y2K has got to get in there somewhere.

What about video games? HALO 2! What else has been as big as HALO 2?
Oh! Something that will DEFINITELY make it into the show will be Episode III. It's so big you don't even have to say the title, just Episode III. See? I'm sure a lot of you know what I'm talking about!
I might even camp this one, since it is THE one.

those hosts are getting kind of annoying. (not so much the ex-daily show-ers.)

they should make the 00's clip show about all the dumb things featured in these clip shows. playing with a stuffed dog on camera when they talk about scooby doo or something...now that's entertainment. and that black haired guy with 3 names doesn't seem to have any other job.

No need to turn this into a thread about political topics!

I wanted to add Harry Potter!

MMORPGs have become a huge thing in this decade. I hate it, but it is definitely true. Cell phones. People can't take a shit without calling their friends. Also, the decline in decent music. Finally, the Tilted forums~

skinnymofo

it was honestly all i could think of
they might htrow in Ozzys ATV accident too since it was semi big news for a day or two
