How does this ident make you feel?

15 Comments

When I was a child, I had many videotapes which had this ident at the beginning and end.

I HATED how loud and sudden the music was, and how everything just seemed to fly into your face when I first saw it almost twenty years ago... and still do.
It really legitimately scares me.

TERRIFIED!! 2

    If I had to describe to someone from another planet what the '80s were, I would show them that.

    It doesn't scare me. I have been scared by things which aren't scary before, though. Like 5 minutes or something from a kids show really scared me as a kid, and I just Youtubed it now and I still find it scary. Um, usually I'd post a link, but this a pretty embarrassing thing to be scared of and I don't think I can. Either way, you aren't the only one:). If you *need* me to post the link to prove that then I will, otherwise, I don't see the point in making a fool of myself:P. It's really that silly.

      I have to admit I did laugh a bit and I can sympathise.

      When he was a kid, Yahtzee Croshaw (of Zero Punctuation fame) was terrified of being chased and/or eaten by the Sugar Puffs monster!

      I guess we all have our own bizarre little fears

    There's this weird British kid's show that scares me and I can't remember what it is called. It has these rainbow coloured, fat, alien looking creatures. They don't speak at all. I was so glad when they stopped airing it.

    There's a European kid's show called, Lazy Town. I like it even though it is extremely weird and has, at times, scared me.

        The photos of The Clangers don't seem scary. It reminds me of the PS/PC game, The Neverhood.

        It can't be as scary as, The Adventures of Mark Twain, can it? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ak3z2Pm7Iwg

        And, it seems to perverted too. I just found this while googling the show: http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=0CAQQjBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fi21.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb279%2Fjagcool%2FUni%2520Stuff%2Flazy-town.jpg&ei=njXOVO37FKHdsASdooHQBQ&bvm=bv.85076809,d.cWc&psig=AFQjCNFOQuMo_VH4RMf2KggsJiw3-ZHt7A&ust=1422886645885727&rct=j

        It is weird that Stephanie, still was playing a little girl, even when she was too old for the role, age wise. O_O

    Oh when I was a kid I would almost pee my pants when I heard the Unsolved Mystery Intro music. I would remember Mum would watch the show so she would send me to bed and I could still hear it from my bedroom, I would have both index fingers in my ears and sing a song to block it. That "Howling affect" in the intro really scared me. Even today as a 27 year old male, I still get the chills from the intro.

    Also did you guys know the host Robert Stack (the first host) fuck his eyes would used to scare the living shitters out of me.

    The jingle that accompanies it is awful and assaults the ears, but the visual part of it, for me, is just meh.

    When I was young, I thought that Max Headroom was pretty scary.

    Most 80s digital graphics were inspired heavily by Art Deco and lacked softness. It's not pretty, but I wouldn't classified it as terrifying.
