Proof That The 80s Were The Most Unintentionally Hilarious Decade Ever
The 80s, the 80s, the 80s. I've talked before about how absolutely insane of a decade the 80s were before when I gave you 10 reasons why we should all forget the 80s ever happened. But thanks to the glorious powers of the internet there is a never-ending stream of proof that the 1980s were actually a glorious era (now, that we are a safe distance from them) for us to point at and laugh because they were so unintentionally hilarious.

Just take a look at this instructional dance video where we learn how to do the Thriller dance:

'80s Dances:
How To Do The Thriller

Were the 1980s the greatest decade for unintentional comedy?

Oh. Wow.

This was amazingly instructional. However, only knowing the beginning of the dance leaves my life only semi-complete. Dang it.

By the way, love the 80's graphics.

@wikipediot@xanga - Nope, every other generation has been cool one way or another. The 80's was not cool in any way whatsoever.

Video was funny. But I still like some things about the 80's. I don't think it's that horrible. I consider the stupidity of today far outways those of yesteryear.

Areeed.. but the 20's were pretty hilarious, the 30s and the 40's where full of war and the 50's was fake ass leave it to beaver, my three sons, dennis the menace patty duke, greasers and sock hops. Its all pretty ridiculous... but the 80s.... kinda takes the cake. Mainly from the runover of the 70s..
and now its "making a comeback" ..ahaha, insanity.

this was the language at the time. some would even contend the 80's were the height of white american media before the take over by black pop culture... the death of the last british invasion... i personally enjoyed the era of the guitar solo, big hair, and horrible new wave!
