You wanna make adults feel old and sentimental? Show them pics of celebrities younger than them, who have passed away.
Cameron Boyce for one thing. Rest in peace to him. He was only 20. 😢
Practically every damn day.
Oh yes
That escalated quickly. 😳
This will sound so unserious but my first crush was Audrey Hepburn, and I ain't old yet 😅😂, truly an epitome of grace, beauty and forever an fashion icon!!
😢😢😢😅😮😢😮😊😢😢😢
Rob Lowe still looks good. Molly Ringwald looks better with age!
And...
You are prettier than Molly Ringwald.
🌹🌹🌹
I would've added Ralph Macchio and Christian Slater in there.
9:57 She's talking about Enemy of the State from 1998! It's a fabulous movie!! Gene Hackmen, Will Smith, Jon Voight, Lisa Bonet, Jason Lee, Scott Caan, Jack Black....SO GOOD! Basically it's the story of a guy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time and learns something a lot of people don't want anyone to know about! It involves people in government deeply misusing their positions of power and then trying to cover it up.
There's only one thing like this that has made me feel old. In my teen years in the late 80's/early 90's, there was a radio station that billed itself as an oldies station and played 50's, 60's, and some 70's. Today, that station plays 80"s and 90's! It doesn't call itself the oldies but it's still the same time differential as back then.
Ha I feel the same way... it bothered me when they started playing 80s on the oldies stations... when they started playing 90s I was like THIS IS A TRAVESTY.
Yes! The first time I heard U2 on the oldies station made me feel old. Now it's Green Day!
Y'all are wrong for labeling her as just a klepto. Winona is a literal queen who is way more than that mistake.
I've noticed that it's that one lady who consistently gives those shady remarks to the women on the list. Says a lot about her.
Yeah, Winona is one of the best examples of a comeback queen I can think of.
@@Prof.SeverusSnape For real. I was like, “WTF, what was that, 30 years ago? How about we track down your worst mistake and make that the sum total of your official CV?”
should have included Ralph Macchio for sure - that man has barely changed at all
No way! 😲 I was born in '92 and I have seen The Breakfast Club at one point in my life and it was before Riverdale but I never knew that was her. Wow!
My older brother had the hugest crush on Danica McKellar and Tiffani Theissen, even to this day! Its also kinda funny too cause his son (my nephew) found his old VHS recordings of Saved By the Bell and Wonder Years and watched a couple episodes and now he has a crush on Danica and Tiffani lol
I liked Fred Savage and Mark-Paul Gosselar. Lol.
The first time in front of a camera for DiCaprio was at Growing Pain.
Huge crush on Winona Ryder
The Outsiders is THE BEST MOVIE EVER
I enjoyed so much doing this episode!!!! 😌
"Who made this selection?" 😂😂 You are doing good on the channel Lucio keep it up!!
The red stamps!
"Spruced up!"
"Comfortable"
*"OVULATING"* 😂😂😂
Most people forget that Molly Ringwald was a regular cast member on Facts of Life’s first season.
Lisa Bonet is no longer Mrs. Jason Momoa, either.
Everybody needs to see the Outsiders it’s a great movie
They should have done Anthony Michael Hall. He's great and I love seeing him in things, and he doesn't look bad for his age, but it's weird seeing him older.
So, I think we need an episode about plastic surgery lol. There were people praised for not having any that definitely have... but that's a common issue, people still think JLo and Tom Cruise haven't. Cruise was estimated to have about $620,000 worth of procedures by Lorry Hill, and some celebs that look totally natural have had more.
I was born in the late 80s as a kid in the 90s I thought Molly Ringwald, Cindy Lauper and Pat Benatar, Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice 😍 where my crushes.
What no Michael J Fox
I am 60-years old, and none of these made ME feel old. I feel very sorry for Rourke - just too many bad decisions. I'll admit I did have a man-crush on James Spader, but from the movie "Tuff Turf." I was surprised Wynona wasn't shown in "Stranger Things," as a contrast to her younger self. I may be the odd man out, but I really hate it when the REACTORS feel like they have to poo-poo anyone who is Conservative. Other than that, I enjoyed all of the different REACTions. Great Memories!
1986 baby here. I had a crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas as a kid. As a teenager i had a crush on Johnny Depp, always Patrick Swaynze , the 2 Corey's, uncle Jesse, .....
You’re a Millenial, but I forgive you. 😃
At 54, looking at pictures of people from the 80s doesn't make me feel old. Next time you try this, you should present them with items from the 70s/80s and then say how old the item is. Things like a Commodore Vic-20, an 8 track tape cassette, leg warmers, a cheesecloth shirt, jelly shoes, Roos trainers, a piano tie etc. Stuff like that.
Would have liked to see Jennifer Connelly for the girls and Christian Slater for the guys.
Christian Slater is underrated.
Jennifer Grey won dancing with the stars at 50!
And is 62 now
She still looks amazing!
And danica mckellar is gorgeous!
Moly ringwald is the queen of the 80s
Judging by this episode, you could say I'm Gen X, because I was born in early '80s. Generations are more closely defined in my area, so I always just miss it, falling into Millennial. I always found myself relating to a bunch of Gen X qualities though, and this episode also validated it as I knew a good portion of the things, so thank you.
I'm a millennial, but feel I relate to gen x more. Lol.
You're a Xennial like me ☺️
Sorry, technically you are a Millenial. But like the other comments suggest, you’re somewhat in between the Gen X and Millenial generations.
“Phoebe Cates” She had me at Fast Times😍
When Atheana said Mickie looks like someone's auntie I lost it 🤣🤣 that gave up hiding spot at work 🤣🤣
I had to rewind it😂😂😂
Tiffani (Amber) Thiessen… Luke Perry… etc need to be in this. 😅
Ralph Machio - who doesn't ever age.
Whats with the younger generations bombarding gen x with being old. Thanks for the constant reminder. I just don't recall ever doing that to my parents and grandparents?
The fact that Ally Sheedy wasn’t on this list is a crime!
I love the outsiders
Very interesting selections, haven't seen images of some of those celebrities for some time.
Where was Christian Slater?!!!
loving their reactions esp like the boys, jayse, ladies, big shar
WR - she was a bit lost / confused and a bit weird for a while ... recently she seems to be getting herself tgt again
bringing good memories and seeing how they evolve over time (some remain kind, nice and down to earth... some mmmm...)
Thanks - really enjoyed this! PS 20/30yrs from here .... welcome to gen reflecting abt bts, blackpink, lizzo, etc...
LOVE this vid. Wish you all would do more Gen-X reacts.
Indeed! I want to be in one! Lol
@@ryanlemay6296 Me too!! :D
You could do this again..C'mon you chose Scott Baio over River Phoenix? Keanu Reeves? Johnny Depp? GEN X is stacked with talented people.
The producer doesn’t know any of these actors.
No Johnny Depp pls, I get the hivemind decided he's just so amazing, but not everyone agrees. Regardless of what anyone thinks of his trial with AH, his text messages outed him for being a terrible person. Plus, he paid someone off for physical assault on set maybe 2 months after that trial.
Hivemind? I didn't just discover johnny Depp because of a trial..you could have came up with your own pick but you didn't you instead chose too join my comment like a B and creep in other people's comments and tell them how to think.. Hivemind! Wait Amber is this you? Still tryna shit on Johnny's career, we can see you.
@@NickaLah Yeah, he can strike me as being kind of up himself.
Keanu, though. 😁
Love these guys and gals. I finally feel comfortable with my generation.
It's hard to feel old when you were born 50.
as a millennial, Emilio Estevez will always be Gordon Bombay!
VERY late Gen Xer here and that is true he will definitely always be Coach Bombay but I also really love 80's movies so he will also be the guys from Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire and the Stakeout movies to me.
UUUGH I LOVE THE OUTSIDERS
I'm 29 and this makes me feel very young 😂
The movie she couldn't think of was Enemy of the State. Also, which is my favorite of Lisa Bonet's movies, Lisa was in Angel Heart, as well.
With Mickey Rourke!
I just turned 51 - my first crush was Belinda Carlise from The Go Gos - 2nd& 3rd Madonna & Tiffany
Hey! BIlly Joel is extremely talented, and he was cute back in the 80s and 90s. Christy's choice makes perfect sense to me :P
I agree! I love his music!
I was born in 81 and love all these movies
Where's Johnny Depp? Still crushing on him.
Johnny and I share a birthday, 6/9. I Love him…and I have since Nightmare on Elm Street.
Old? Hell no! I'm a Toys R Us kid!!😂
As a 10 year old seeing Halle Berry in the James Bond movie, then a week later watching the movie Swordfish….blew my little mind 😂😍
No, I'm not old but I do remember Matthew Broderick in Project X (the chimp movie), EMILIO ESTEVEZ he was my biggest crush from 1990 to 1995 (It was Young Guns fault) ❤, 'I want Charles in charge of me' that show was a winner,
Love Matthew Broderick
Another fun video and used to have a mad crush on Rob Lowe!!!!
"I came here to see Jennifer Connelly" made me laugh so much
I wan't moar gen X videos. We've lived through the best transition and we're so ignored. We've got so much important wisdom to drop... like what is the best pop culture of the 80s and 90s... what was it like to not have video games but to know they existed. What was it like to wait for the year 2000 and KNOW it was going to be super IN THE FUTURE. And then have it really suck. What is it like to have learned to hate labels and miss flannel being in style... but also still give zero fucks and try to crack the ultimate code of giving negative fucks.
Susanna Hoffs for me!
Molly Ringwald is too pale to have a crush on? Imagine if someone said someone was too dark to have a crush on.
As a dark skinned Black woman, I’ve heard it.
The actress from Wonder Years looks very good for 48.
I watch her Match Making mystery series and my husband who could care less at the mystery part watches for her.
My first celebrity crush was Chris Kratt on Zoboomafoo!
Night At The Roxbury reference....Emiloooo!!"
So funny loved it
This was fun to watch as a bona fide Gen-X myself, and I didn't feel old at all!
Something about 1974, man... Winona, Danica, and if I can toot my own horn, I don't look 48 either. Haha!
I’ve been watching these videos for years and have seen how Jason has aged as fine wine 😅
Had no idea until now that the actors from wonders years were actually that young and still young if u ask me enjoyed this video 😊
My 80s crushes were Charlie Sheen, Harrison Ford and Gregory Peck. On the music front they were John Taylor of Duran Duran, Morten Harket of A-ha, and David Sylvian of Japan.
Rob Lowe makes me feel old, I was today years old when I found out he’s only seven years older than I am! I’m 51.
3:47 "He did not have any work done" 😂🤣 Yes he did
Uh- huh. That chin.
The smart ones leave a few wrinkles.
There needs to be a second part to this with the same reacters 🙏🙏🙏
i watched The Outsiders in 7th grade which is almost 6 years ago and tbh i love the movie
I can't blame Jennifer for "messing with her nose" it was broken in a car accident.
No Cindy Crawford...shame ...shame, all I have to say is Pepsi commercial, that image was burned into every young boys memory and will stay there till the day they die...missing a few good ones but overall good list
Why do some folks insinuate that if you accept and embrace your old age (over 50), and you’re not trying to look young by dying your hair and/or getting Botox/plastic surgery, that you’ve “given up”? Equating youth with looking good and old with not. This type of mentality seems to be especially prevalent in places like Southern California. There’s nothing worse than when old people are ageist against other old people. I guess that’s kind of testament to how ingrained and prevalent ageism is our society, sadly
I love being a GenX
so did anyone know matthew broderick is the voice of adult simba...
7:32 LMAO, the timing when she said that 🤣
I'm 48 and this didn't make me feel old at all. Hell, I'm in a wheelchair and that doesn't make me feel old. There's nothing in the world that can make me feel old.
That’s because we’re Gen X. 48 going on 49 and still doing everything I want.
Clancy Brown (John Wick 4!) Is ageing like fine wine
This was fun. 44 year old Gen-X lady here. None of these made me feel old.
I kept waiting for them to show which cast member they showed for The Breakfast Club. 🤣😅😎
I will be 50 in May. My crushes were always grown women from my early childhood like Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) and Jaclyn Smith (Charlie's Angels), that is until seeing the movie, The Outsiders. I still to this day have a crush on Diane Lane.
Johnny Depp was my first crush, and my current favorite still
the only way leonardo decaprio makes me feel old is that i am technically "too old" to date him at 29 when he he is too old for me at 48
I seem to recall having one or two issues of TigerBeat and Big Bopper LOL I had the biggest crush on Corin Nemec and Wil Wheaton
I would of added Alysa Milano. She was my first female crush.
Mickey Rourke looks like Mr. Roper from threes company
I thought the same thing!
He had way too much plastic surgery
Lisa Bonet and Mickey Rourke were both in Angel Heart
You need to make a video like this one for those of us who grew up in the 90s
Born in 95 but 2000s I remember like it was yesterday
@@tylerboles1994 okay..I remember the 2000s as well since I was born in 1986. Hence why I said for those who grew up in the 90s..
Im 32 and feel old when my 7 year old niece sing songs that was either my time or before
I am a 80's teen, hey we made it to middle age!
They all make me feel old since my top 2 crushes were Elvis and Donny Osmond.
9:13 sorry she’s no longer Mrs. Jason Mamoa either anymore ☹️
9:53 the movie is Enemy Of The State. Great film!!
And Fred Savage is accused of allegedly SH and so F*** him!
☹☹☹ At least, I don't have to feel bad about liking him in Wonder Years.
Sometimes I wonder how any actor or actress stay married. What killed Jason and Lisa's marriage was his being away so often on location shooting.
Y'all should do moe of these.
Mickey R. Doesn’t make me feel old, just makes me sad.
We should remember Micky Rourke the way he looked in Ironman 2.
Winona is still absolutely gorgeous she was my dad's crush growing up
I feel like if you want a 'Do you feel old' episode the easiest way is showing celebrities that have passed in the last several decades.
That's not "do you feel old" that would be "do you feel SAD"!
2002 baby but I have to say 80s Johnny Depp was 😩😩😩😩😩😩🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍😍😍!!!!!
2001 baby we both 2000s babies
Seeing all these celebrities makes me feel OLD!!
Why? Most of them are arseholes!
Mickey was a boxer so it shows in his face.
Just nitpicking but Matthew Brodericks first movie was not Wargames, It was max Dugan Returns, but i guess name appeal overwrites accuracy, Wargames came out 3 months after Max Dugan.
The memories.
