What funny craze have you been through?

[ThurinEthir]

Oh right, I forgot some.

 

Rubik's Cubes were popular last year, I think I helped start it. Eh.

 

Pen spinning never caught on until now, I'm still waiting to see how it'll turn out.

 

As for "The Game," what I mean is that in the middle of Latin, some obnoxious girl will yell out "I LOST THE GAME."

 

And I just lost. :D

[purfishx]

-Runescape

 

-Yugioh cards

 

-Anime (still stuck here)

 

-Xbox vs. PS (never gonna get over this)

 

-Acting gay for the lulz

 

-Funny catchphrases

 

-Seeing who could get the class to laugh the most-ness

 

-Discussing football

 

 

 

And then these series of games we used to make up. One was called "Cockpunch" where a person would make an O with their hands around their groin area and if you looked, the person would yell '[rooster] PUNCH!!!' and hit you. Another one is the "buttouch" where you used to go and bend over infront of girls or boys and pretend like you were tying your laces or fixing your shoes etc. and get them to walk onto you in bent over position after which you would then act like WTF and cause a huge fuss especially if it was a guy. Slap em and run was also fun, name says it all. Kickass was just for lulz, you used to go and stand next to a person and say "I'll kick your [wagon]" and then lift your foot and kick their [wagon]. You would still be staring at them while you kicked them, kind of hard to picture if you haven't seen it but meh, whatever.

 

 

 

Good times. :thumbup:

People would always judge you based on how big your deck was.

 

Women still do.

 

 

 

I admit, I was a sucker for Pokemon cards.

Sounds kinda dirty or kinky. I like it.

[Adam007]

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but from what I can remember: Pogs, Beanie Babies, Yoyo's, Tomagotchi, Pokemon cards, Tech decks, and lastly airsoft guns.

[ForsakenMage]

Pokemon and yo-yo's here...

 

 

 

Pogs came back too for a little bit when I was way younger. :lol:

[Kirudaymi]

Meh.. I can barely remember them all;

 

 

 

Beyblades, yu-gi-oh and pokemon cards, tamagotchi pets, football cards, pokemon (handheld games), those rubber bands/bracelets that you buy in support of a charity that go around your wrist, quoting things that Bart said in the Simpsons, a time when before you spoke to anyone, you had to say to them "ARE YOU A FRIDGE OR A FREEZER? MARS BAR OR A SNICKER?" If you chose the wrong object, it meant you were a member of the opposite gender. (eg. Snicker = male. Because it has nuts in. <_<)

 

 

 

Good times, good times. Apart from when my grandparents bought me a fake beyblade.. I died inside, but I had to smile and look really happy. :

[Princess Viola]

Yugioh, I have over 9000 cards. My collection is only worth $700.

 

 

 

I was never in to anything else. Except RuneScape. Which I still struggle to get out of.

[warren211]

The Runescape craze was what got me here in tipit in the first place. Of course, most of my irl friends have long since abandoned the game and moved on to other games. Me and one other friend are the only ones who stayed.

 

 

 

And from 4th-6th grade: Yugioh. Loved that game. 90% of the kids in my neighborhood had a yugioh deck. A majority of my class played yugioh and we'd do it during recess and our snack breaks. One of my friends (the same one who still plays rs) hosted a birthday party where all we did was play baseball at the park and played yugioh in the field house. Good times. My neighbors played it too and we'd duel after school for about half an hour each day. After my homework I'd work on improving my deck with my card collections, trading with my brother and friends and neighbors, and buying more booster packs once every few weeks. Now I have a big tin of cards and I only play with my brother occasionally when I'm bored.

 

 

 

And who could forget Livestrong bracelets? A few girls in my class would have bracelets going to their middle forearm. Even the guys would think they were manly by wearing pink ones. It got to a point where the teachers forbade more than two or three on your wrist at once. The kids held a protest because they considered it stopping them from supporting charity because the bracelet manufacturers said the money went to disaster victims. Was a pretty interesting situation.

[Nadril]

I remember pogs. :P

 

 

 

I actually feel really bad for my parents, haha. They have 3 kids (Me, my younger brother and younger sister) who all pretty much got into these crazes and trends. Having to deal with all that had to be a pain in the [wagon]. I mean, we had so many damn yo-yo's! :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

I still remember trading my younger brother like a hundred crappy cards for his Charizard. He cried, and I had to give it back :(

[magekillr]

Yo yo's, and Pogs.

 

 

 

I was into Pokemon, but not really for the reasons other people were. I didn't even know wtf they were until someone bought me a starter deck for my one birthday.

 

 

 

Any other craze that occurred around me I wasn't really into, I'm such a non-conformer :roll:

[Skully]

Beyblades/Bigleys, we all used to play them on top of the trash cans in year 7/8.

[Maleficus1055]

Just a quick note to all people who had yugioh cards. Unless you have a recent top tier deck, your cards are worthless, not likely to get even $100 for your collecdtion. Old cards are worthless, regardless of what some website says, people only want tnew, tourny winning cards. (Such as the recent Plaguespread Zombie, 1 month old but about $60 a piece).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For my school, Rubiks cubes are the "cool" thing atm. Oh, and when I was in elementary school, Furbies :D

[Dizzle229]

I remember in the late 90's if you didn't know what the hell a pikachu was you weren't cool. Oh how times have changed.

 

 

 

Also Yu-Gi-Oh.

[nine naked men]

Yu-Gi-Oh was so pro. I got all the cards that my Mum confiscated from her dorm that they forgot to collect. xD

 

 

 

I loved the cards with the really long descriptions, so you could just flash the card at your opponent, say something completely different (LOL YOU LOSE 1000 LIFE POINTS) than what it really says, then chuck it in the Graveyard quick. Massive lolz.

Good times. :thumbup:

 

 

 

Those existed (some with the same names) when I was in school, I'm pretty sure you didn't make them up.

[Distracted]

Beyblades. Hehe, I remember those pieces of crap, mine would always break since they were the cheapest in stores.

 

 

 

And I remember this other craze (forgot what it exactly was), that I had a nice amount of. One day I felt stupid and gambled it all away. I almost cried. Rofl

[Lenticular_J]

Yeah, we still do those crazy things. Us crazy kids.

[Serpent Eye]

Pogs.

 

 

 

These are the spawn of Satan.

[Pinkbullet3]

I remember Pokemon Cards too. People would always judge you based on how big your deck was.

 

... how big your DECK was. :lol:

 

 

 

:P (I'm so immature.)

 

 

 

Anyways...

 

 

 

Yo Momma and Chuck Norris jokes. Also Helen Keller and Dead Baby jokes.

 

 

 

And:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sock'em Boppers. Never bought a pair myself, but the commercial got stuck in my head. "Sock'em Boppers! It's more fun than a pillow fight!"

[IGoddessI]

Hmm there was a lot of crazes I went through when I was younger. Most of them make me shudder.

 

 

 

Beauty and the Beast collectible cards

 

Barbie

 

Baby born

 

Polly Pockets

 

My little pony club

 

checkered jackets 10 times too big for you

 

Tamagotchi

 

Yo yos

It's been done, bro. Twice.

[Nadril]

I never got into the Yu-gi-oh phase. Probably because when it was going on me and my friends were all playing Magic the Gathering. :P

I had forgotten that song since they stopped production at the end of the last century. Now after 10 years that song is back in my head.......

[Th3_Crusader]

Pokemon cards and such.. then Anime which I realised in a month I didn't like it anymore. (Cept FMA)
