Tom Hanks throws some pretty solid fixed axle in Dragnet (1987) pretty early on, after he conforms to the new dress code. Maybe someone with better computer skills than I could post it.

One of the most view videos about yoyos :joy:

Also in the goodburger movie, the main character mentions his dad got him a light-up yoyo that plays a tune when it spins (Mel-yo-dee?)

Lastly, my profile pic is another example of promoting yoyos to the world

Crazy timing with you mentioning the scene from Good Burger, I was going to make a post on it earlier but got sidetracked.

If anyone from Freshly Dirty sees this, the VHS would look great in this colorway.

Hey, ‘member Goonies?

Goonies II on NES started you out with a yoyo as your main weapon.


I loved that game and movie when I was a kid.

I hated “anything” Pebbles, you have to eat quick or it gets soggy and gross. Same with anything Rice Crispies.

I used to let them soak! I would listen to those rice crispies talk to me… haven’t had either in a long time though. But if i did id probably still let them soak in that milk. :wink:

The guy at the end :pleading_face::cry::joy::rofl: I feel his pain. Yo-yos definitely didn’t help me with the ladies when I was younger.

That is exactly what everyone thinks you do if you mention you are really into yoyos but do not have a yoyo in your hand. Up and down over and over again.
