What not to get people for Christmas (1988) | RetroFocus 

I was thinking exactly that lol its all the old hairstyles thatve come back

I think it's one of the daddo brothers 😂

Right

xShii_00 no this is 80s its just lots of things don't and didn't change since then. Its just the dumb corny stereotype Halloween 80s costumes that makes 80s look funny and say certain people take literally. In the video as you can see these were the everyday look for people and its really not much of a difference to many today.

@@italianplastick4031 yep it's Andrew Daddo.

wtf?

Not in the US. If you’d look at post-Soviet countries, however, you could see a dramatic difference there

Good fashion is timeless. As long as you don't lean too trendy, your clothes should last a few decades (assuming they are good quality and properly cared for)

There's been subtle changes.... But on whole I don't think fashion has changed drastically over the last 40 years

@@p0358 nope, i live in poland and sometimes when i look at high school photos from 1990s, the fashion look so much like todays

it's only americans, they never have any dressing style.

More importantly for now should be, 'Dogs are for life, not just for self-isolation'. I've seen lots of people get dogs and cats because they're not having to go into work right now - I really hope they continue to take care of their pets when things go back to normal.

a w that’s got nothing to do with anything, it’s about adoption into your family for life, not treating a being who needs the same things we all do, and whose life depends on this all, as a temporary object. Not about happiness when the photo was taken and that’s it. And it’s not bs, it’s utterly important. Have you got any idea how many get purchased from breeders instead of being rescued from death and then dumped when the novelty wears off? How would you feel?

Well he did already say it, 32 years ago

Are you dumb ?

For life? They live 15 years max

Joker 🤣

It’s an old style Aussie shit stir, most ppl one up it and turn it around. That’s usually the exercise. But didn’t save it did he:). Oh well;)

Whos abain

my dad

He's right. Even the style of music from that era is coming back abain

Outkast1337 Reckoning yeah, the Weeknd and dua lipa albums are basically the 80’s and many more

Because fashion hasn’t changed much. We still wear the same jeans and sweaters and sneakers, the only reason we can tell the decades apart is the hairstyles and the quality of the camera

@blue heeler 98 to 18 is probably the biggest.

@blue heeler Computers were around alot earlier than 98. But going from dial-up internet to smart technology and social media consuming every minute of our lives is a big jump.

@@Atl-jv1kw ... or a big dump. :^\

Yep don’t see that at all with 2000 to 2021. My question is why?

@Bolshevik Breaker it’s kind of sad really imo. I wasn’t sure if it’s just because i was born the late 80s . Maybe many Gen z persons could differentiate the 2000s and 2010s Maybe people aren’t brave enough to be themselves or I don’t know what .

They all do (except for the girl with the red bandana)

Welcome to the resurrection of vintage fashions!

xoxo Fernesha I think this is a joke.

Probably staged for youtube

It was uploaded in 2019. I know it's a joke. But still.

Yup and then the interviewer aged himself and made children appear so he’d be middle aged with children now

3Dv1n G4mer you only think?

Cameron ❤ I was going to marry him when I was 15 😂

Before the world turned cynical, people actually had personalities.

@BladeCast nope, he's right. People's social skills have definitely gone downhill and the future of america pre-9/11 was very optimistic.

I was born in '74 and 1988 was the best year to be a teenager. This clip reminds me of those good old days we'll never get back.

@BladeCast no lol after 2000 still went downhill

i don’t cuz teachers could hit you

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think the saying is "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". But horse's teeth might work here.

Because people were normal compared to today 😂

I felt quality of life was better back then, and it's probably not just cause I was an adolescent. In this time, before the internet and social media, people were forced to be more outgoing, and the only thing that bothered people was the shit they would report on the news. If you flicked off the news, you were basically unplugged from the world, and there was high music culture that gave people alot of joy.

Might be the white people

Was more white

Demographic shitf in USA is much more visible you look old videos the people doesn't look the same like now.

Siloe Mascolo can you expand more that’s interesting- I’m from the U.K.

@@aryanspecialtruthonly.2311 euramerindian immigration from Mexico and Central America changed a lot of USA population.

You can't expect people to behave like a hive mind

There's a lot more Ebonics in everyday vernacular, but that doesn't make it less refined.

Standard definition is really underrated in my opinion. You'd be used to seeing home movies or degraded home VCR recordings from this era as apposed to videos shot on professional equipment which is why you think this looks good for its time (it is compared to what's readily available on the Internet from this era). E.g. news reports from the early 2000s and from the 1980s would been shot at the same 480i analog tape format (although I think some organisations would've moved to digital tape with the 480p format in the early 2000s) Also, Betamax >> VHS

That was most likely recorded with a Betacam or Betacam SP camcorder. Betacam SP camcorders were the standard for TV until late 90s

@@Pasi123 Agree, this is likely Betacam, which had excellent quality for an analogue system due to component recording. Pro stuff was lightyears away from consumer junk back then -- and even some highly compressed digital stuff nowadays.

Saaaaame

Andrew was one the “Daddo” brothers. They were huge on Australian TV at the time. The eldest Cameron married a famous Aussie model & he had semi-fame in the US as an actor. Google “Daddo bros where are they now”

@Heorteji Could be too much sun for pale skin 🤔

@Heorteji it's the sun. Ever been to Australia? They all look a lot older than their age and I swear it's the sun

"He 53 years old now with a family and looks middle age." Who woulda thunk it eh?

53 is middle age lol

Literally everyone in my town looks like the guy in the middle

You mustn’t get out much

@TruBluHeeler I'd say 17 at the time at the most. Girl she's with seems younger, so she could be too...depends if she's a friend or a sister.

Not really true, the “80s comeback look” is super gentrified and only slightly resembles the 80s

@@TheDefDudeNextDoorHypeStreetPa young people can pull off almost anything, especially feminine clothes

Yeah heck, if it wasn't for the camera, I would have thought this was filmed recently lol

@jack jones its so sad... but thank you for sharing your memories. Even though you're older than me, I still remember the early nineties pretty good because in 88 I was only 4 LOL but yes definitely good memories. I like the early 2000s but anything passed 2006 no bueno LOL. And now, everything is even Beyond mental was everything going on... But at least we have our memories. God bless you

Don’t you want*

Yeah, that's why she wants em.

Andrew Daddo, google him

Andrew Daddo is now a bald guy in his 50s, I'd say he's aged pretty well though.

Shehan Nanayakkara not so great, saw him at a workshop a few months ago his face is fine can’t help aging and I preferred natural to people fighting it , the body is a bit to far gone, and age is no excuse for that one.

Ur desprerate

Rionnation Rionnation I assume you mean desperate not desprerate Dumb dumb

Absolutely. I thought the same. Both of the girls in the thumbnail are so organically beautiful. Not all done up with loads of makeup and fancy outfits and fake...everything. Just straight-up pretty.

it’s the old logo :p but nicee!

yo i didn't understand what shes saying lol, can u give it little writing?

@@Prijal9648 She doesn't want a family reunion for Christmas. She said she hates when the family gets together.

That's how taste works.

You could find in at the local retirement home.

I don't usually lean to the left, but I'll gladly make an exception here -- socks or not. ;^)

Its odd not even 90s cars appear on the video, i wonder why

@@user-nm9vs1zc3y cos it’s from 1988 dumbo

Probably camera quality

I grew up in the that era too, the hair and the fashion looked more to be from the 90s rather than the 80's, but then again I could be wrong.

The interviewer in particular looks straight out of the mid 90s with that hair

@@rickyandreou thats exactly what I was thinking.

@Troy Bailey I don't think I was implying that it wasn't done in the 80's, my point was is that the fashion etc looked ahead of its time

has it really though? there's plenty of australians who still sound like this

without hearing anything i knew they were aussies, to me aussies all look the same, its werid its like theyre all relatives or something

I was also 14 at that time. It doesn't feel as long ago and what it looks when I watch these flash backs.

I think early to mid 90s was, it was just before the web became crazy popular and also had so much music variety on the radio, even pop music could sound drastically different depending on the artist.

I think so too. My junior highschool days. Mid 80s to early 90s imo. Idk about mid 90s, looks of grunge and almost gothic look for the girls. Wasn't a fan of that.

@@germanicelt grunge fashion was only one part of the 90s
