Timeline: 1996 - Everything that Happened In '96 

this series tickles every nostalgia nerve in my body in the best way possible

I hope he makes a 2000s version. THAT would be a nostalgia trip for me

Savor every moment in your life my friends. Before you know it they will be doing a timeline story on this very year.

The late 80's and all the 90's timelines so far have been extremely nostalgic for me. The 90's were an incredible time filled with great music, movies, and sports. Please keep em coming.

I can't believe 1996 was 25 years ago.... I feel so old, I was 27 at the time.

90's was so awesome. I almost feel sorry for people who didn't live through it.

I remember 1996. If you were alive you just could feel that that year was special. So much was happening

Timeline is the gift that keeps giving. I don’t know how often it’s released but every time an episode appears on my timeline, everything has to stop. Top Show.... PS. The Duracell advert was crazy...

Wow I graduated high school in 96 and it doesn't seem possible it's been 25 yrs since some of these events happened...it really was an amazing year!

I wasn't a teenager yet in 1996, but I remember a lot of this. Especially those commercials. Seeing the N64 took me back to those afternoons at Toys R Us, with those seemingly endless aisles of games with little tags you had to take to the counter, and all those wonderful game demos... Everyone takes 3D gaming for granted these days, but back then, it was something magical. The Unabomber capture was by far the biggest news story. I spent the last two weeks of June at my cousins' house in Bakersfield, and we all went down to Los Angeles to try the newly-opened Jurassic Park ride. They had a gift store right next to the ride, and I bought brand new editions of Jurassic Park and The Lost World books. I haven't been back to Universal Studios - and LA, for that matter - since. I got watch Independence Day in a theater on a bright Sunday afternoon, on the way home from church on July 7th. I got to see a double feature of Mars Attacks!/Star Trek: First Contact in December. It was at night, and it the latest I'd ever stayed out to see a movie until Titanic the next year.There also were several cool LEGO sets in 1996; the Armada Flagship is sitting on a shelf right above my head as I type this. It was so long ago, it feels like some other life.

That Aaron Burr commercial has lived rent free in my mind since 1996

"The last major console to use cartridges" *sad Nintendo Switch noises*

I'm a 1996 baby, and it definitely looks like an iconic year for music, games and movies!

I graduated high school that year, moved out of my parents house, was poor as hell and happy at the same time. Nothing but great memories from that year for me.

The summer before my Senior year. Independence Day was a huge. Fond memories. Thanks Weird History. Happy Father’s Day!

My daughter was born in 96. Sadly she passed away 20 years later, but I enjoyed watching what I missed, since I was happily, blissfully unaware what went on that year!

This is going to be great. What an awesome year in gaming and music. I was 15/16 and remember having an N64 and PS1. Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and Mario 64 blew my mind.

WWF debuts of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Stone Cold Steve Austin, & Mick Foley (Mankind). While Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, & Scott Hall form the New World Order in WCW.

I’m so lucky to have experienced every year of this great decade. Going to be sad when this 90s series ends. Almost as sad as when the 90s themselves ended.

I'm so glad to have had a childhood in the 90's. Best time to be a kind in the history of humanity.

On my personal timeline, 1996 is peak 1990s. Age 15/16 and not a care in the world.

Just out of college, newly married to a naval officer, stationed in Honolulu, no kids yet. Jetting off to outer islands for weekend getaways, flopping on the beach right out my back door, cookouts, girl’s nights in Waikiki, tourist stuff with the endless stream of visitors from back home, lol. It was hard to be so far from home, but we had way too much fun. Good times.

Who needs Dateline? when we have Timeline!

God I love this series. Wish every episode was longer. Around 45 to 50 minutes would be sufficient! :)

To think I was 11 around the time, things was a bit simple then and i had no care Thanks for the nostalgia

Pocket Monsters debut in Japan of that year but we know they gonna cover that in the 98 episode which will be known as pokemon

Timeline is a basic sunday need along with my coffee now lol

These are absolutely incredible videos that take me down memory lane. I hope you make the 2000s and 1970s as well. Great videos!

To think I was 9 years old in 1996, the passage of time spares no one

1996 was the best year of my life everything about that year was just amazing

I've watched every one of these since the series started. The other videos you guys produce are all very good, too, but these TIMELINE videos are in a league of their own. I look forward to every single one and I always wait to put it on until I can give it my full attention.

I remember all of these commercials shown in the clips, oh the nostalgia 😥

Why does nostalgia always make me feel like I’m going to cry? It hurts and I don’t like it. What’s wrong with me lol

I appreciate all the work you guys put into this channel. I love it.

I knew they were gonna mention Tupac getting killed. I wonder if they’re gonna discuss Biggie’s death on the next video. I also remember Nintendo 64 coming out. I swear for years, Super Mario 64 was my all time favorite video game 😃

I remember what I was doing for most of these events. I can't believe Fargo came out in '96. Timeless classic.

1996- Wow, Leap year day I lost my best friend in a tragic accident. Graduated high school. Married my sweetheart (still going!). Definitely the most impacting (yin/yang😉) year of my life. For me life there’s before and life after, but the two don’t work together. Thanks for the videos!

Keep waiting for those years to come out.. love the 90s. Thanks bunch for doing this ♥️

Mike Tyson became the heavyweight champion of the world for the second time in 1996

7:06 I met George Burns in Las Vegas around 1988 or 89 - I was a little kid and barely remember it but my mom was instantly star struck and got his autograph. She was a single mother and I remember she had to pawn that autograph to pay the bills - and yes, we went to the Gold and Silver Pawn which is on the show Pawn Stars years before it became infamous.

The 90’s was the best decade. Miss them times. I think the First UFC was in 1993 👍

I always love watching these flashback videos…for 24mins it’s like I’m transported back to the 90’s

As a great man once said no one can turn back the hands of time looking back at our youth and nostalgic moments we have to enjoy these timeline throwbacks a glimpse back into our childhood I wish all but happiness and success

I was JUST thinking last night, "man, it's gotta be time for another Timeline"! These make my entire week, thanks Weird History!

It feels good to know the Weird History crew realizes how amazing Tool's AEnema is.

I went on a tour in LA called dearly departed in the 90s. We went to famous houses and drove by George Burns house ( he was still a live at that time) I remember the tour guide saying if the light in that room is on that means George is awake. He didn’t come out and greet us but the guide said he has done it before.

You forgot about The Premiere of Blue’s Clues and The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss on Nickelodeon!❤️📺🎶

Wow what a year! I was 15/16 and watched Independence Day at the movies 3 times!! So many memories from that year! As an Australian seeing the footage about Martin Bryant made me terribly upset even all these years later ... I'm glad we got rid of so many guns.

This is my year! Graduated HS, best road trip of my life, moved in to my own place and started a band

Lost my mom this year😭, though I had my dad a number of years afterwards. Take my word, kids, appreciate your parents while you still have them. No matter your age, life is never the same when one, let alone both, are gone.

I’m a wrestling nerd, so the birth of the nWo was a great moment. It kickstarted the wrestling boom of the late 90s.

Gaawwwwwddddd!!!! These 90s flashbacks get the nostalgia going! It's so hard to tell people now how awesome it was growing up in the 90s. Genuinely feel bad for kids now 😅

I would love to see you do Timeline series for 1960s or 1970s once the 90s is done.

Happy Fathers Day. Thanks for a another timeless Timeline Series

Shawn Michaels won his first WWF Championship at Wrestlemania 12 in 1996

Great year 8th grade with my dad (rest in peace) in long beach CA marshall middle school good music movies just awesome year I miss the 90s

Never miss this show.

Omg!! This brought back sooo many memories! I was turning 5 in ‘96, and other than like 1 or 2 of these, I remember the rest SO vividly! God I miss the 90’s 😭💕

Ah 1996, the year I was born.

What an iconic year, 96-99 are my most memorable years as a child ❤️

This series is the best thing on RU-vid. Thanks @Weird History

Crazy to think almost everyone shown here has passed away in the past 8 years due to so many unexpected reasons. R.I.P. to all those who have lost their lives.

The 90's was a much simpler time, wasn't it?

I still bring up that got milk commercial. Especially when Hamilton was really popular a few years ago

I hope this series reaches until 1999 and then going back to the 60s and 70s. Skip the 2000s, RU-vid might get pissed.

Born in 1979, graduated in 1998. I am so fortunate that Timeline covered 1980-1996. Only one year from the beginning!

I remember my brother coming home from a party with Tool’s Ænima after it came out. Told me to listen to it and I could keep the CD. I spent the rest of the day listening to that album with headphones, watching the ceiling move with the music. I was 14 and didn’t even smoke weed then.

I love these videos. Should be a Netflix series 💯

Here are the top 10 songs of 1996, according to the Billboard year-end singles chart: 10. Twisted- Keith Sweat 9. You're Makin' Me High/Let It Flow- Toni Braxton 8. I Love You Always Forever- Donna Lewis 7. Tha Crossroads- Bone Thugs-n-Harmony 6. Give Me One Reason- Tracy Chapman 5. Always Be My Baby- Mariah Carey 4. Nobody Knows- The Tony Rich Project 3. Because You Loved Me- Celine Dion 2. One Sweet Day- Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men 1. Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)- Los Del Rio

You forgot to add stuff about wrestling alot of things happen like The Curtain Call, New Jack nearly killed Mass Transit, Steve Austin became Austin 3:16 on King of the Ring, Hulk Hogan turned heel and formed nwo, and Brian Pillman gun segment. Hope you do The Montreal Screwjob for the next episode that was a real big deal at that time

I miss the simplicity and fun from the 90's. I was just a kid but hey! We could still play, fall, get up and learn! No cell phone either!

I watched space jam so much, my sister and cousin conspired against me and hid it for an entire summer. I was devastated.... When my parents found out she was grounded for a good month lol.

A+ video! LOVE IT! What an amazing year! ---TIMELINE ROCKS---

I miss how much less depressed the youth was in the 90s

This was the year I graduated high school. Feels like forever ago, and feels like yesterday.

I can’t believe you guys didn’t mention my birth on August 17th. Smh

As a kid in the 90s, I was 13 in 1996, and for me, it was the best year of my life. The summer was amazing! Lots of people I know say the same about 96.

I went to see oasis (biggest band in the world at that time) in 96. It was at knebworth and was the biggest ever outdoor British concert at the time. 250.000 people over 2 days, and over 5 million people applied for tickets, so I was one of the lucky ones. Best gig ever! Only my opinion ofcourse. 🤷‍♂️

I remember those flintstone Vitamins! I always thought they were an odd as it was really chalky. Thank you for the upload! This channel is what I look forward to every Sunday now ♥

What’s more wild about the Unabomber, is that if it weren’t for his brother, nobody would know who would be to blame for it lol.

These videos are better to watch then anything on Tv. I share every Weird History Video that's posted. My mom loved your videos before she passed away in march

What I miss....EVERYTHING...this world is a shell of its former self...

32 years old, working 6days 54 hours with 4 daughters etc. Amazing how much fades into the fog of time. Great Vid.

The year my older brother was born, he was born on 7-22-1996

Thanks!! These are awesome! Poor JonBenet. The police let her down. 🙁

man I was just 21 yrs of age, the 90s were the best years of my life...

I was forced by my guidance counselor in 3rd grade to learn The Macarena and perform it to a song about respect. The year was 1996 lol

16 years old at that time. How time flies babe

SWEEEET.............Will watch this later tonight......these are so great, just amazing. ----TIMELINE ROCKS----

I miss watching WWF vs WCW

''96 was the year of one of the best NBA draft classes of all time with A.I., Ray Allen, Kobe, Steve Nash, Stojakovic and Stephon Marbury.

Was 14yrs old, thanks for the nostalgia. 🙏🏽

0:55 As a skateboarder, i’m surprised and impress that they actually mentioned toy machine skate video doing a bs 5050 on a handrail

Damn almost forgot about those flinstones vitamins

You guys struck gold with this series.

Yay! A new timeline video! Started high school in '96!

1996, one of my favorite years. 2nd grade and my favorite time as a student. 💗💓

Who here was born in that year?

Man I wish I could go back to the 90s. What a great decade

25 years ago already, holy shit where does the time go
