Or maybe it's just the mental image Garfield uses as thinspo. An E.T. meets ALF toy would actually make a lot more sense.

Image: Excellent Tony Danza Leg Tattoo
Actually, it's more like a Tony Danza/Mickey Rourke FaceMelt tattoo, which really takes things Next Level in terms of 80s nostalgia.

Video: Coach Bea Arthur
Bea Arthur stars in a 1988 PSA with Pittsburgh Penguin Mario Lemieux, Toronto Blue Jay Tony Fernandez, and - forever the 80’s PSA staple - a little girl in a wheelchair. But seriously, does it get better than hearing Bea Arthur yell “Hit the showers!” to a bunch of children? (No, it doesn’t.)

Image: Vintage NYC Subway Sticker
Before Carrie Bradshaw and Gossip Girl, New York had its sh*t years, ridden with crime, bankruptcy, and violence. This vintage subway sticker, which warns commuters against the use of knives, guns, and bombs (!), brings to mind a simpler time when anyone with a vagina carried Mace, which - inevitably - had to be used it at least once. In an era where the worst thing you can do on the subway is drink a cup of coffee, traveling underground can still be a nightmare when the most rancid-smelling hobo in town decides to take a nap in the seat right next to you. For twenty minutes. In rush hour.

Video: Baking Bread & Synthesizers
This is the quintessential 80s pro-fiber nutrition video…if one exists. Cutoff shirts, feathered hair, synth grooves, and martial arts: it’s like the Bloodsport of PSA’s.
