      That ad campaign started in 99, its really more of a 2000’s thing.

        Ya, but it proves I lived through the 90’s 😆

        The 90s were from 1995 to 2005. That’s just my opinion. I know it sounds dumb. Many things from 1990 to 1994 feel like the 80’s.

          That’s the Y2K “lost decade” speaking to you; 1990-1996 was the early 90s, Y2K from 1997 to 2003, and the McBling 00s from 2004 to 2008. I have reason to believe cultural decades started as decades, yet were upended by 1945-65 being The 50s but 1965-69 being the 60s and never been quite on schedule since.

          Since the 60s were barely 5 years, there was - apparently - a subtle difference between the early and late 70s, a noticeable difference between the early and late 1980s, and a pronounced difference between 1990, 1994 and 1999. By 2004 a fashion lasted 5 years at best, and 2008 has hardly been a similar year to 2013 or 2019 or 2023.

      Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.

        As a European, that’s indeed how I interpreted this.
