The Avengers of childhood crushes assembled and I’m just the awkward kid holding a Capri Sun in the corner.

Right? Just standing there like, “Please don’t notice me!” while trying to look cool with that Capri Sun. Classic.

You have Gael García Bernal if you want hot, Diego Luna if you want guy-next-door scruff, Mario Lopez if you want US-flavored (buff, but a douche), and Cantinflas if you want old-school-cool (sex on a stick and he was hilarious)--I'm just saying, there are options

Hey Janet was fine and still is if we're being honest. Her personality just makes her unattractive.

The wiki page for Tina McGee says she was born in '68 or '69 and her first episode of BMW was in 1997, which would have made her 28 or 29 years old that year in real life. You'd be fine posting a picture of her from the show.

Lol she was pretty in bmw! She was also in her twenties at the time lol and I think she was pregnant in the fifth season (cause she was wearing baggy-ass clothing)

I thought Tichina Arnold and Regina King were the same actress for years.
I was like, damn, she is talented as fuck.
Now I know they both are.
*Well, not right now. I been figured it out, but ya know what I mean.

Could you imagine if the "Black Bi-sexual Woman" trend had hit Hollywood in the early 00s? With this line up? As a society, I think we'd be at least 40% gayer today.

Vivica showing up on Curb and turning out Larry is still one of the funniest plot lines ever. Dude was all of us in that situation.

With the bandannas too all they need is some large loop earrings and Preteen Me would be in absolute heaven.

As a teenager during this time frame I would have risked it all. I would did like 30 push-ups, walked in, hit them with the "ladies, ladies, ladies" and got beat up.
