It was one thing to see all the clips from when I was a regular viewer, but there was this weird elastic disconnect of nostalgia happening on me last night while watching those post-90s clips, when I had finally outgrown MTV and wasn't paying attention to it anymore. Even though I never watched Jackass or Eminem on the Video Awards, I knew at the time who they were of course. To me, that much time hasn't gone by since they first aired, but yep, 10 years. It's like when the NFL Channel shows month-old games and they're all played on filmstock, slightly in slow motion.
Seeing "Hit Me Baby One More Time' on an episode of TRL reminded me of 9/11. Weird how things get crosswired.
Oh, and how I have been spoiled on HDTV. They may as well have been playing herky-jerky sepia movies from the Edison era when showing some of those in-studio clips.

carson daly settled so comfortably into his younger more boring nu-dick clark persona that it almost seems weird that he was on MTV at all now

yeah i have to admit that when carson was on trl i kinda thought he projected a subtly above-it-all attitude but i guess he was just waiting to become showbiz shill dude all along

I think I still have a VHS copy of the MTV Awards with the MJ kiss somewhere. That was also the one where Sandra Bullock was presenting with someone (I want to say Adam Sandler) and she misread the cue on the teleprompter and asked Adam what it was like to kiss Keanu Reeves. He handlded it pretty well and riffed about how safe he felt in Keanu's arms.

i think objectively speaking jackass is the legacy of mtv for our gen of teenagers
i'm curious what your thought process is here, cause i don't see it. but i always hated jackass tbh.

I remember a weird "5-day weekend" I got after being suspended from school when I was 13 where I did nothing but watch dumb shit on MTV and VH1. Remember Robbie William's "Millenium" video quite well and thought the song/video were amazing. Also "No Scrubs" came on a lot and I had a serious crush on TLC, only to find out they didn't look so hot outside of that video

well for one, it was the most successful new mtv show from that era -- it was a genuine cultural phenomenon

Seriously I think J0rdan is pretty much 100% otm. I mean, what other MTV shows from that era are still cranking out reasonably successful feature film sequels?
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 1 August 2011 19:58 (thirteen years ago) link
i agree w/j0rdan, it seems like jersey shore and jackass are the more recent things that were really culture wide from mtv.

Jackass was the last gasp for the 90s generation on MTV imo. It was fun (or not) for people markers' age, but it was real life for people older.

Just Say Julie was such a weird show. Like it was this kind of "fake airhead" that i guess MTV thought they could play to real airheads? Kind of the Stifler of her day?
