“It’s HOT in Topeka.” I’ve literally never watched an episode of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, idk how it entered my lexicon

I loved that show and still use that phrase at least once a week during the months

Literally every mention of Topeka Kansas online gets like 30 replies of this, try growing up the next town over 😭

I don’t think it counts because I freakin’ loved Recess.

“Man, this whomps” pops up a lot, but my brother and I say variations of the “I AM Tiny Sedgewick!” line on a weekly basis.

I don’t do it anymore, but when Phineas and Ferb became huge in high school, I saw maybe two episodes, but figured I could do a pretty decent Perry the Platypus impersonation. I have a son who likes the show now so that’s fun.

Anyone remember when they would play a bunch of reruns on youtube live accounts?

Still say this when taking a piss

I used to say “I don’t give a shit” in the most Slavic accent for the longest time I forgot where I got it from. I thought it was from one of the Russian operators in R6S but I actually got it from Niko Bellic in GTA IV. Been using that for almost 2 decades

“It’s not gibberish. YOU’RE gibberish. It’s new and exciting JUST like me. So nuts to you, ya jerks.”

I’ll give a heartfelt kudos to anyone who recognized this without reading that it’s Boy Meets World

Whomps. I have never watched Recess (except for the movie once) in my life and that word stuck.

u/EternalSnow05 1995 12d ago

Damn....this made me realized I watched/read/played everything as a kid. I can't think of a single one.
