nostalgia

Talk about a strong shot of nostalgic good feels. You just had to know these two sitting down to catch up, rehash on times of old, etc, was going to immediately equate to good times. 

Chika chika chika bop paaaaaa

Oh, sorry, I was just typing out the theme from the classic Nicktoon Doug. Remember Doug? It was that show about a boring middle schooler, which was somehow really compelling. 

Well, one of the things that gave that show its charms was the sound effects. From the scatty theme song to all those nasally characters, Doug was just as well known for its sound as its look. 

Great Big Story sat down with the man behind it all. Fred Newman is a voice over artist who made all those sounds with his mouth. He asl odid voices for Harry and the Hndersons, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and, everybody's favorite movie, Gremlins.

So if you ever watched Doug and wanted to know how all those sounds were made, this is the video for you. 

Hey, it's Saturday morning, and what better way to waste the day than spending 10 minutes thinking about your childhood. After all, you can never get your childhood back, so you might as well think about how great it was not having responsibilities and getting to watch Batman nearly kill some dudes.

This should be a nostalgia trip for many of you, a time when they played cartoons on Saturday mornings only because that was the law. Just kidding. It was just because they didn't know that they could advertise effectively to children yet. Yay!

It's a right of passage, cracking your phone screen. Why, when your children ask you about the day you became an adult, it'll probably sound a little something like this:

"Ah, shit. Screens cracked, and I still have six months before my upgrade. Maybe my mom can give me one of hers."

We've all been there. But apparently, a phone is being resurrected to help fix all that. The indestructible Nokia 3310 in all it's brick-like glory might be relaunching at the end of February, according to The Verge.

That's right, all your old favorite features might be back: hard to break, long battery life, Snake II. Plus all your friends will be so jealous that you aren't spending your entire life staring at your phone. 

Needless to say, people are pretty excited about this:

Joy to the world, the Lord is good as the #Nokia3310 is set for relaunch.
