Jeff Dye and Jim Norton roast Ryan Reynolds' 80s take
Ryan Reynolds said 80s nostalgia papers over the decade's trauma, and comedians spent Tuesday making fun of him for it.
The big stuff
Jeff Dye and Jim Norton mock Ryan Reynolds for calling the 80s traumatic
Reynolds told Variety the 80s were "a brutal, brutal time for people" and that remembering it as Top Gun and cocaine skips the part where everyone was scared. Jeff Dye's answer: saying you can't feel nostalgic because bad things were happening is silly, and he asked how anyone could have loved the Ninja Turtles in 1993 with the Battle of Mogadishu going on. Jim Norton quoted the same Variety post and, with a straight face, said we should all heed the words of a learned man.
How could someone have nostalgia for the Ninja Turtles in 1993 when the Battle of Mogadishu was happening?
When a learned man speaks, it would serve us all well to heed his words.
It’s a tumultuous period, but you look back at it now and you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah. ‘Top Gun.’ Cocaine!’ Like, ‘No!’ It was really scary.
