“If you’re fascinated by armed standoffs led by charismatic Cult leaders, wait ‘till we get to the 90’s.” -THIS is why I love this channel.

This is the only series that brings me any comfort anymore

A legendary year for animation in cinema: Akira, My Neighbor Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, The Land Before Time, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, etc...

My only criticism of this series is that it is way too short. The years need an hour each at minimum. I'm really enjoying this trip to my younger years!

they should do a 60s and 70s timeline.

I would just like to say that y’all have done a fantastic job with this series.

When Rowdy Roddy Piper makes the opening you know this is going to be a good year!

"Beetlejuice" it's my all time favorite, I'm glad it was included!

"Coming To America" is still one of the most funniest movies today! Eddie Murphy was a comedic genius in the 80's.

That ABC cartoon bumper hit me right in the nostalgia. I miss being a little kid in the late 80's.

"They Live is a documentary" - Roddy Piper

Passed away Andy Gibb ( singer of shadow dancing ) Roy Orbison ( singer of oh pretty women)

I turned 59 years old in January of 1988 and it was a great year for Movies.

Poltergeist star Heather O'Rourke died in February of 1988.

I'm from Syracuse, and the Lockerbie bombing entry in this video really stood out. 35 SU students coming home for Christmas break were on that plane, and let me tell you, for that to happen 4 days before Christmas really altered the overall feel for the holiday around here. You'd run into at least one person that was related to someone, or whose sibling was a friend with and/or had been in a class with someone at some point that were attending SU. There's a memorial dedicated to them up on campus. Anyway, sorry that was so long, but that incident really meant something (at least to me that is). Anyway, the video was REALLY good though. I love this series and when I saw this one was almost a half hour long, I was stoked. I know there's a lot of time invested in making these videos, and it definitely shows. You should be commended for it! Thanks for sharing them with us!👍🏻

13:13 They forgot to mention that Suzuki Samurai review by Consumer Reports was completely fudged.

its such a throwback for me.. this timeline is my complete youth (i was born in 1973) :) Thanks guys!

1988 . . . the year I got my drivers license and when the movie License to Drive was released. 😁

I specifically remember the August release of Sweet Child of Mine by Guns n Roses. I had just started as a cashier at the 7-Eleven in Naples, Florida, and was at work at about 5 in the afternoon, when they debuted the song. A space in time that has stuck in my memory. I always had the rock and roll blasting at work back then.

Glad to see the Traveling Wilburys mentioned. One of my favorite bands.

I just want to say, the background music is awesome.

Man, Wayne Gretzky going to LA changed hockey in the U.S forever. If you went back to 1988 and said that one day a team from Texas would be playing a team from Florida in the Stanley Cup Finals, people would have looked at you like you were nuts. And yet here we are. Dallas Stars vs Tampa Bay Lightning/ 2020 Stanley Cup Finals.

I graduated high school in '88 and I remember all these things. Thanks for doing each year in your series..brings back so many memories. :)

Keep pumping out these full year videos. It’s a great blast from the past.

"It's 88 time to set it straight. Ain't no half steppin...word.' - Big Daddy Kane

I love these 80's revisits

I was born in mid-December of '88. It's wild to see this timeline. I absolutely love Curling. I worked with genetically engineered mice for breast cancer research. Van Gogh is my favorite artist - though I would never steal a painting, of course. So cool to see how many things I so strongly relate to in my birth year. 😊 ❤

I LOVE this series!! It makes me sad remembering back to such more simple and good times, but I fricking LOVE the videos! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!!

This is really weird because I'm watching coming to America right now lol

The 80s aren’t my favorite decade, but compared to the 2010s, they were a paradise.

I was born in 87 so I didn't expect to remember any of the events as I was still a baby however I'm surprised I didn't hear about some of them while I was growing up. What surprised me even more was how minimal airport security remained up until 2001 despite the fact that there had been airplanes that crashed due to bombs being detonated on board.

This is a great series. I’m only 25. I was not born and raised in the 80s so I appreciate these types of programs. Very entertaining!

was just thinking about the series too.Damn, one more year left.

Finally my year! Well done guys this series is above and beyond. So much respect for the work you put into these videos bro.

I love this series - and all the hints to the '90s makes me hopeful we'll see a sequel set during the decade when I grew up (born in 1990).

The year I married my husband, I was so lucky to marry a good man, who I love and who loves me way more than we thought we loved each other in '88. Special year.

This series is so good, give whoever came up with it a raise

From my perspective I would want to relive 1984-1985. Those were the best years of the 80s IMO.

I like this guys taste -- Beetlejuice, Kids in the Hall, Coming to America, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and Naked Gun.

Next week, end of the 80s. Loving the series more and more! Thanks for putting the effort in guys! It's totally awesome!

I was 8 years old and it was the best year. I literally remember all of the things mentioned in the video, but my biggest memory was that my drawing of a pig wearing a sparkly midnight blue evening gown won the art competiton in my school. So there's that.

I really hope you continue the timeline series further into the 60s, 70s, 90s etc..

Eddie Murphy Coming to America probably the greatest comedy movie of all time with a good storyline and ending

The year I graduated HS. This is the only one I was waiting & wanting to watch

Who framed roger rabbit is a good one. 😀👍🐰

Thanks for covering the best of all decades first. I love and miss the 1980s so much😢😍💓💔💞

1977 when I graduated was something else, along with the previous 3 years in HIGH school, what a trip it was!!

The lesson everyone tried to teach Kids in the 80's: Don't believe advertising 80's kids: Let's invent Facebook

What would I relive? 1986-1989...but only because I was in my late teens, those years are always good

What I love about this series is finding out all the news that I missed, thanks to not having a television back in the 80s, when I was in my twenties, most of the time. But I also didn't watch news because it was mostly bad news, and it was just a downer most of the time. But it's also a flashback to the culture, hairstyles, clothing styles, and music that we were into back then. Nobody realized how cheesy we could be back then.

I definitely enjoys these posts. I do wish more content included past entertainment stuff, forgotten and lost to time and memory. It seems to only be mere seconds of mentions.

I've been waiting for this year! Born in October of 88 😊. Love this series!!!

R u gonna do the 90’s after this Weird History?

1988 was a very rocky year for me. I'll never forget it. I graduated from high school. I entered the Army and my dad died.

I appreciate this series a lot, and I'm not even a guy who gets into most shows, movies or series. It's so surreal to look back at everything

This is the year I hit adulthood; turned 18, graduated high school, and went to college.

Love the background music... 😁

I'm born in 88, thanks for this amazing timeline videos! though I never really "lived" in the 80s in a sense that I can relive and remember them, somehow they are in my genes, in my blood so to speak. I can feel them and feel that they must have been very unique! play a synth line and you've got me goosebumps, that's the way I feel about the 80s :-)

He pretty much all but confirmed they are doing the 90’s in this video with a few hints. One of a few hints was when at 15:14 he says “We’ll save Rob Pilatus’ story for 1998”.👍🏽👍🏽

Best historical channel on KZfaq!!!

Every Sunday morning the first thing I do is check a new timeline video! I can’t believe it’s already been months since 1980...

LOVE this series, thank you so much for putting the time + work into each vid for us. I'm not hinting at anything I promise, but I'd love to see someone do a similar series for the UK and Ireland's cultural and political landscape over the same time period (I'm Welsh), what a roller coaster the 80s were there too :)

The song Miracle Man by Ozzy Osbourne is about Jimmy Swaggart, who was a staunch critic of Ozzy's music. But 'he got busted'.

I’ve been on for two hours....patiently waiting....watching weird history lol!!! Thanks for the content!

I got a hankering for a weird history year video and I went here to see if the new one had been uploaded. Uploaded 9 minutes. Yesssss.

I was born in 1991, but the 80s have always been my favorite decade as far as pop culture, music, movies, etc. Ive definitely absolutely enjoyed watching these and learning more things that Ive never known. Looking forward to what you guys do for the 90s, if you do a timeline for it.

You forgot the time, Roald Dahl published the novel "Matilda" on October 1, 1988. 8 years later, the 1996 movie based on the novel was released starring Mara Wilson and Pam Ferris.

I love this era!

Can't wait for the 90s series!!!!

Yay! We finally got to my birth year! I was excited to see all the history that happened the year I was born. I'm surprised you didn't mention that "The Phantom of the Opera" opened on Broadway in January. It's gone on to be Broadway's longest-running show and, when it first came out, was an absolute smash hit, the "Hamilton" of its day.

I love how this series does so many stories outside of the U.S., world news is important, not just America so I like learning about other events I didn’t know about. Thanks!!

*FINALLY, RICK ROLLED*

This was a great video. 1988 was some good movies, especially the horror movies like child's play, pumpkinhead, they live, Manic cop, killer klowns from outer space

Wow....watching your Timeline videos is always fun. This one hit home at 12:25, I was supposed to be on that bus as a 12 year old at Radcliff Elementary located at 1145 S Dixie Blvd, Radcliff, KY 40160. I was sick and couldn't go. I lived in Hardin County, Ky at that time and that bus was loaned from Meade County school district, where I ended up going to middle and high school. The Carrollton County bus crash was big news then and I lost friends, but at 12 didn't know the magnitude of what happened. I honestly forget everything about that day, until I seen that clip and at 44, the feelings just came back.

88, the year of the release of one of the best albums of all time: Seventh Son of the Seventh Son

Hands down my favorite series on KZfaq. Thanks weird history for all the hard work.

This series is incredibly well done! Bravo!

Agreed. This is an AMAZING series! My husband and I watched 1980-1987 last weekend when cleaning the garage, we loved it! Please do the 70s and the 90s!

I look forward to these every week

I can't wait for Sunday to see this Timeline Series. However, I get sad when I realize it's almost over! The nostalgia these videos bring is awesome! I think about life in the 80's quite often! Greatest decade EVER!!!

I can't stop watching these videos.

you shouid do one on the 50s, 60s, 70s as well

Omg finally the year I was born !! Excited!

I turned 10 this year. It was okay. Can’t remember what happened at my neck of the woods of Soviet Estonia at that time. Edit: Oh, we started campaigning for independence. That’s certainly a good thing.

LET ME TELL YOU!!!! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!! Especially this timeline series! I tune in every time a new video drops!

Awesome work. Can't wait till you cover 1989.

I love this series, please continue into the 1990s

every time i see that Gibson home run, i imagine those brake lights in the parking lot are from someone who left early, and was listening to the end on the radio, slamming the brakes thinking, "what have i done?"

I may have only been 6 in 1988 but I have memories of graduating Kindergarten and jamming to some of the biggest hits.

This series is well done and wonderful to watch. Looking forward to next week!!!!! ...Rather, next year ;) Thank you

Yep I remember the bus crash in Carrollton Kentucky in 1988 ironically we were on our way home from a camping trip and the announcement came on the radio. And in between Cincinnati and Louisville the sign is still there that says site of the fatal bus crash, around May you see people still put flowers all over the sign.

Once again...Well Done !! A+

Loved that you guys acknowledged MST3K’s debut. Such a great series.

Finally the video I've been waiting for🤗

The 1987-88 NBA season is arguably the greatest in history. The MVP race between Jordan, Bird, and Magic; Jordan as the first MVP to also become Defensive Player of the Year, the first DPOY to win the scoring title, and the first player to accumulate 200+ steals with 100+ blocks in a season twice; Bird becoming the first player to be in the 50-40-90 club twice; Jordan vs Wilkins iconic dunk contest; Bird's legendary 3pt contest threepeat; Bird vs Wilkins Game 7 duel; Isiah's sprained ankle game; Lakers fulfilling Pat Riley's repeat guarantee (ending the league's drought since 1969); Worthy recording the first ever Game 7 triple-double; Stockton finally unleashed from the bench to begin his nine consecutive assists titles along with racing Jordan and A. Robertson (all-time steals per game leader) for the steals title; and so on and so forth. It also featured at least 22 eventual Hall of Fame players: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman, Adrian Dantley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Alex English, Dominique Wilkins, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller.

Ayrton Senna, considered one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, wins the World Drivers Championship for the first time. No mention of it here, but then again i'm not surprised, there's lots that gets missed out of this series.

This whole series has been great so far. Thanks very much for researching and producing it!

Just finished 87's. Here we go.
