Ridiculous Things You Believed As A Kid

[Xeno]

I grew up on the 80's G.I.Joe that when told as a kid there were G.I.Joes way before and 12" size I just couldn't believe and wondered how the adventures of Joe vs. Cobra were back then.

It wasn't till years later that I find out G.I.Joe in the 60's was just an individual nameless guy with various army ranks that didn't fight evil terrorists bent on world domination.

I mourned the demise of 12" G.I. Joe because when he shrank he could no longer date Barbie. She was stuck with that wimp Ken.

 

[Teelie]

Even shrunk, Joe is still a better man than Ken.

 

[Mace Dolex]

- as a kid watching the Superman films I thought all Phantom Zone villians wore black jumpsuits.

- when I first heard Rick Astley's song on the radio I though he was black.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I remember a teacher in sixth great telling us all that women could get pregnant by oral sex.

Seriously.

Did they ever completely stop making the full size GI joes?

Seriously.

That sounds like something a kid would tell other kids, not knowing anything of how reproduction works. And yet it comes from a teacher. Way to educate.

Yeah. And the most f***ed up part was what she told us oral sex was. She actually said a guy would umm... dispense his product into a cup and then the woman would drink it. I'm not kidding.

I remember going home and asking my dad if that was true and he was like, "What the f***?"

But what about Stretch Armstrong or even Jetfire/Skyfire? If worse came to worse you could have set her up with Omega Supreme.

^^Must... resist... Pacific Rim themed... rocket... *****... joke... If only... I could reach... My utility belt.

Stretch and his buddies came too late for me and my friends. We used to steal our brothers' GI Joe dolls to serve as Barbie's boy toys, but when he shrunk the weddings and Malibu fun ended. Poor Joe was less than half the man he used to be.

 

[Godzilla2000]

But...but Murky and Lurky could fill that void! What about Jem/Jerrica's purple haired BF Rio too? I'm sure he'd have been sick of Jerrica not telling him she's Jem.

was this around the time, American pie, came out? lol

 

[Godzilla2000]

Lol...say what you will about the 80's. I seem to recall Sex Ed in my Middle School being a bit more honest and truthful about the process of making babies.

 

[redhawk23]

Sex ed at my public school was "DON'T".

The answer to any question was "DON'T".

It was like watching Edgar Wright's Grindhouse trailer.

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

That when you become an adult, people stop behaving like immature idiots...

 

[Teelie]

I think that's the biggest misconception we all had as children.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Haha, no. It was in the early 90s.

 

[Airwings]

We would have 1982, 1983, 1984... and then go back to 1982 again.
My mother told me this one time I asked what year it was, I swear.

Holy sausages, such a neverending loop.

 

[Hotwire]

- when I first heard Rick Astley's song on the radio I though he was black.

I was 18 at the time but, the first time I heard Hootie and The Blowfish, I thought the singer was white!

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

Of course i thought Eminem was black (i was 6 or 7). But I also pictured him with really crazy cornrows.

 

[Yurka]

Until I was about 8 every time I heard "Windchill factor" I thought people were saying "windshield factor", so during winter I would touch the windshield of every car I got into to check the "windshield factor". My dad let me figure out my mistake on my own...

 

[SpideyFan866]

I wondered if the world was actually black and white back when cameras were that way back then.

Yes! FINALY, someone who thought the same!

Ditto.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Remove the TV glass and you can still see the picture, and enter the world
I thought that way

Doesn't sound like you believed her

Come on, we all know Jetfire was gayer than a rainbow on ecstasy. If you don't believe me, open up a new club, call it "Jetfire," and see who shows up the first night.

The only reason he'd marry Barbie is to get that promotion to City Commander (Ultra Magnus was dead weight because of his drinking problem, the other Autobots were just waiting for the shoe to drop).

Yes but as the Adventure Team they fraught The Intruders: Strong Men Alien Invaders from another world bent on world domination.!
