When this and Hey Dude were both on 👍

FionaGoodeEnough@reddit

I had such a crush on Ted from Hey Dude, and then he was one of Blossom’s boyfriends…swoon…

[-]

cortesoft@reddit

Oh man, my sister and I were obsessed with Hey Dude. 5:30 PM was appointment viewing.

It takes a little while

And it’s a little strange

My mom got me some guitar pick earrings, and every time I wear them I think about when the brunette makes a glittery earring out of Budnick’s guitar pick to get him to break up with her.

That was the summer I moved from a school and neighborhood I loved, to a school and neighborhood I tolerated. I often wonder about the alternate universe where I thrived in the old place.

[-]

TMore108@reddit

If it offers you any solace, I moved from a neighborhood I loved to one where I still wrestle with the mental scars. But Salute your Shorts was the shit, I want to watch now lol

[-]

bgva@reddit

Felt on the still wrestling on the mental scars.

I might need to find if SYS is streaming somewhere.

I just watched Point Break again last weekend. Holds up.

He's gotta get in shape for that episode of Singled Out he was on

[-]

PraetorianXVIII@reddit

Is that the one with the jumper cables

[-]

Cardboard_Robot@reddit

I thought I was the only one who remembered that.

[-]

GoonerYank@reddit

Or so he could look good in that bubble wrap outfit in, 'Dude, Where's My Car'

[-]

OkAthlete8327@reddit

Hell yeah! I was gonna say, where the hell is donkey lips?!?

[-]

ElBorracho2000@reddit

I recently watch the movie Evolution and was pleasantly surprised to see Donkey Lips make an appearance

[-]

murph0969@reddit

Selenium. He was the hero of that movie, and Budnick was the real hero of Terminator 2 by instinctually lying to a cop.

[-]

fizzlebottom@reddit

Debut episode and you posted an image from season 2. Heretic.

[-]

platypod1@reddit

it still blows my mind that bobby budnick was John Connor's ingrate friend in T2.

Come to think of it, Bobby Budnick could have been Axl Rose Jr.

Oh Dina, my beloved ❤️ I could've fixed you and your snobby rich girl attitude.

udonbeatsramen@reddit

I went to high school with the girl on the left. She was very nice, and rarely if ever brought up the fact that she was on a TV show.

[-]

silversunshinestares@reddit

Megan Berwick? She was one of my biggest childhood TV crushes.

[-]

TheJasperCollective@reddit

Trevor Eyster, who played Sponge, is bi and hot so happy pride!

I had SUCH a crush on Sponge as a kid.

[-]

silversunshinestares@reddit

If you read the book SLIMED!, he has some extremely unhappy memories of the time he spent on the show. Apparently he was picked on a lot, especially by Michael Bower.

[-]

Dramatic-Card7276@reddit

Zeke the plumber still kinda fucks me up ngl

[-]

Weird story: In junior high, I had a cold, so I took some Sudafed and went to school. I dozed off a bit during lunch, and I was haunted by Zeke the Plumber totally randomly. I shot up out of my chair, terrified.

Turns out, there was another girl at school who inexplicably hallucinated Zeke the Plumber whenever she took cold medication, too!

Maybe the show tapped into a discount sleep paralysis demon.

That was really dark for a kids show

It remains amazing that Budnick from the basic cable show about summer camp could simultaneously be seen in theaters in a memorable role in one of the greatest and highest grossing movies of all time

[-]

percypersimmon@reddit

According to Google he’s 5’1” that doesn’t seem right to me

[-]

Daylight-Silence@reddit

Seems very plausible

[-]

throwitlikethewind@reddit

Ok I see it now. He's tiny!

I didn't think he was tall myself but I always pegged him to be about 5'7", not 5'1"

[-]

thisisallme@reddit

He’s a singer in a punk band too

Not sure why OP used an image with our boy Donkey Lips cropped out

[-]

thunderlips36@reddit

That must be the season 2 picture as Donkey Lips is missing. I wonder why he didn't do both seasons?

We had a mascot. A big giraffe. And its tongue- was black. A big black tongue. (Or something like that)

A giraffe’s tongue is black.

Watched it recently and there’s only one awful waffle ever given out of only two seasons. ☹️

[-]

80s_angel@reddit

I remember them ever actually doing one. Decades later and I’m still not sure what it is. 😩

[-]

Kingofangry@reddit

Red belly + syrup if I remember correctly. But it was like 15 years ago at this point.

[-]

stareweigh2@reddit

I think it's either hit with the tennis racket or maybe it's pressed into the belly to make the waffle grid then syrup poured over it

[-]

Neither_Internal_261@reddit

I'll get the syrup if you grab the tennis racket!

i missed these until a few years later, but i was at summer camp myself in 1991 and this show made it seem so cool but camp was really not cool.

Obligatory Bad4Good video.

(Budnick had a rock band, roughly 5 years too late.)

Where is donkey lips?

[-]

jenncrock@reddit

Making a random appearance on MTV’s “Singled Out” iykyk

[-]

guyincognito121@reddit

I did not see that. But I did see Jenny McCarthy wearing a very tight Pepsi T-shirt at a bulls game when I was 16 and my friend yelled "how many Pepsi points for your shirt?" and she genuinely laughed and patted him on the shoulder and he still talks about it.
