Have you ever wondered why so many people regard it as the awesome 80s? Even despite the vast advancement on all fronts that include the music, movie, medical, technology industry, till today, it is still known as the awesome 80s…..
Well, I grew up in the 80s and I can definitely assure you that the 80s were definitely awesome… it wasn’t the bad hair that they had back then….

I dare you ladies to go out with hairstyles like these!! |
| It was kinda difficult to differentiate the guys and the girls back then! |
|
Neither was it the outdated Atari game consoles that were available back then….
| Remember this?? =) |

This was a luxury in those days!! |
NO, I say! The 80s were awesome because of THIS:
If you don’t believe that the 80s were indeed awesome, just try and figure our how many cartoons from the 80s have been adapted into movies in recent history…
There were countless cartoons that I watched, but these are my Top Ten Favourite 80s Cartoons:

3. Robotech
4. G.I. Joe
5. Centurions

No Awesome 80s tshirt?
btw, we need a petrol hike tshirt. I’d definitely buy one (or two).
hahahah… i didn’t really like He-man too much to be honest… his cowardly tiger really pissed the living daylights outta me.. hahahah.. as for the petrol hike t-shirt, wait for the dude in central market to do it.. that’s his niche anyway.. for me, i’m staying away from it… heheh…
Thundercat was awesome….u guys ever watch the Japanese tv series about a volley ball team…m not sure but i think the it was called “Mario Attack?” correct me if m wrong…but they do have “khidmat bola berpusing”
Yea, I loved thundercats too! That’s one of the few ‘macho’ cartoons i enjoyed… i’m more of the ’smurfs’, ‘my little pony’, ‘jem and the hollergrams’ and ‘care bears’ type. HAHAHA!=P
@Aparque: the name of the jap volleyball tv series was called “moro attack” i think. i can’t seem to find any references of it online, but yeah, it was quite entertaining as well! i didn’t include it in because it wasn’t a cartoon… heheh… thanks for stopping by…
@nana: smurfs is there on my list as well @ number 10, but the rest that you mentioned… well, urm… yeah… hahahaha….=)

i thot i can list down 2 other cartoon shows but somehow it has been mentioned already - thundercats and he-man.
but i do like mighty mouse during those days too
@vertigo_X: well, i guess if those things made your 80s awesome, whatever rocks your boat man! hahahahah….
@johnny ong: i preferred mouse cartoon characters who were funny like tom and jerry and speedy gonzales… heheh… with the exception of biker mice from mars. but that cartoons was more 90s i think.
honestly, i think the 80s produced SO many cartoons and we were really spoilt for choice…. and that’s why the 80s were awesome!!!
BANANARAMA!!!!! hahaha…yeah!!
I think my hair still looks like its from the 80’s…
@vertigo_X: you’re not gonna stop are you? hahahahah….
@hoyden: your hair does not look like it’s from the 80s lah! it’s the mel look! and i think it looks really good on you… so don’t worry.. you won’t be put in the same category as bananarama or something… hahahahah…
