You can’t talk ’90s without boybands. And you can’t talk boybands without tragically misguided BOP/TigerBeat pictorials. Here are five boyband-ers who’ve come a long way from their questionable early starts.

“Once upon a very not long time ago, Saturday Night Live had character - make that characters.”

I miss it. I really do. I miss the 90’s SNL with a plethora memorable characters consistently present throughout seasons. It was a great time to be a part of the comedy business. The competition to get on air and create new comic icons/catchphrases was ferocious with the caliber of talent on the scene. Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, to name a few, were no doubt the major leaguers of comedy in the 90’s.

Since you’re on a site called Ice Ice Babies, it can be assumed that the 90’s is your nostalgic decade.  That said, below is a collection of awesomeness that will take you right back to a time when ‘responsibility’ wasn’t in your vocabulary, Encarta helped you with research, and pay phones weren’t lonely.

Once you’ve been an active member of the workforce, the infamous Bill Lumbergh from Office Space doesn’t seem too far off from some of the corporate characters you’ve likely crossed paths with. Every office has at least one senior guy who rallies the team for casual Fridays and/or cheesy birthday celebrations.  He’s also the one who passive aggressively dumps more work on you at the last minute.  YEA, I’m talking about “that” guy. Conversations at the water cooler generally revolve around the utter ridiculousness of his persona slash how much you loathe each and every encounter.

After school TV was the best.  It was your personal time to eat oreos, fruit snacks, and put off homework until after dinner.  Depending on your age, you’d get a healthy dose of cartoons, Saved By The Bell, and/or Power Rangers.
