50 Unhinged 2000s Pop Culture Moments That Had No Business Being This Iconic
The kids of today will never know the struggle of having to wait a whole week for the next episode of their favorite tv show. Or not being able to pause, rewind, play back a scene or pick a particular episode on a whim.
Streaming platforms mean little humans can now binge-watch Cocomelon, Paw Patrol, Bluey and all the Jurassic Parks to their hearts' content. Fortunately, it also means the adults among us are still able to rewatch many of our former favorite kiddies shows when we’re feeling a bit nostalgic.
Talking of nostalgia, we recently came across a really cool corner of the internet, where over 545,000 people gather to view a wall of wonderful childhood memories. As the bio states, the IG page childhoodshow is "a collection of movies, tv shows, music, and pop culture from the 2000s".
Bored Panda had some fun and picked out our favorite posts. Keep scrolling for an epic trip back to your youth, and don't forget to upvote the ones that give you all the wayback feels.

Her mother died of cancer during filming and Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman looked after her during her mom's treatments. Also Danny Devito showed her mom a rough cut of the film so that she could see it before she died.

It's still the preferred version of the song for me. I'm always surprised and a little disappointed when Bonni Tyler sings it on the radio ((sorry Bonni...)

Totally! It's like for most movies women can't be friends with other women when in my personal experiencie, we are capable of very profound and wholesome friendships.

Those movies are just gross and misogynistic obviously and of course completely untrue. And yes you're right, women can and do have great friendships with other women. Just as much and as many as there are men who do with other men. Gender has nothing to do with it.

He was amazing, and his character deserved a better life partner than settling for Monica.

His personal life was problematic - but there were an awful lot of funny lines. It's not his fault that you didn't get the jokes, a lot of us did.

I literally just put this on starting from the beginning. It's on Max that I just subscribed to last night. Got a long way to go, but I can't wait for the pivot one.

All these cowards out in the comments acting like they didn't IMMEDIATELY start going "HEY HEY YOU YOU I don't like your girlfriend!" in their heads, or like they've never heard Sk8r Boi or Complicated

It's not that I'm a coward or have anything against her, I just genuinely don't know whatever you just quoted. Went to Spotify and I still don't recognize what you quoted. Lol

I don't even know what song you're referring to. You're talking about The girl who married the guy from Nickelback right?

This is quite embarrassing. You're literally calling the teenage girls who bopped to Avril Lavigne in the 00's cünts for daring to enjoy her music. You're calling children enjoying mildly alternative music cünts, and you seem to genuinely think that's quite cool. That's ludicrously un-punk of you.

Yeah her character wasn’t my cup of tea either, even in my goth days. Her other characters (other movies) she plays are really good though.

For recurring characters: Tim Russ, as the school principal. There was one episode where his character said: "Study hard and prosper." A nod to "Star Trek: Voyager", where he was cast as Commander Tuvok.

Can we take a moment to appreciate that "apart" means the opposite of "a part of"?

I love the South Park songs they do of them 😝 “Cause my mom doesn't like it when I'm naughty. She'll make me clean my room if I'm naughty.”

I was born in 1990, but it never feels quite right to say I was a 90s kid since I have little to no memory half the decade. But my gosh, I have no recollection of 90% of the stuff of this 2000s list either.

Back in my day, we didn't have real-budget TV shows made exclusively for kids. We had Saturday-morning cartoons, but all the good ones were created for movie theaters 30 years earlier. Comparing this to my childhood is like comparing Disney to the grimm fairy tales they were based on. We had, "remember the time Colenol Blake was shot down over the Sea of Japan? Or Remember the time little old Edith Bunker got raped and later died of a stroke? Or remember the time Shirley was written off the show by having her go insane after her fiance Ted Danson died in a grisly fire death? Or Battlestar Galactica when they even killed the cute little kid's f*****g dog? Or how about remember the time Arnold's best friend got molested by a pedophile? Or the time Dr Pierce went insane because the chicken the Korean woman strangled when they were hiding from the North Koreans turned out to be her baby. But we couldn't watch "Three's Company" because it was too adult.

BP has a hate/fascination fixation with the US. It's really quite cute when it's not totally f-ing exasperating.

I turned 50 this year and I know who almost all of these people are. But I actually watched Disney channel with my kids (and even without my kids). I was a huge fan of High School Musical and Camp Rock--having all on DVD. I still love the Jonas Brothers. I had to have surgery in my 30s and watching a Jonas marathon on Disney got me through that horrible hospital stay. We regularly watched iCarly as a family. I was a huge fan of Drake & Josh before that. My husband and I didn't mind Hannah Montana--the kids didn't really care for it. I know I'm not the target demographic, but kids/teens shows are fun and relaxing.
