The Nostalgia Hall of Fame

Nostalgia in Hall of Fame form

  • The Nostalgia HOF

    There are halls of fames for everything nowadays. You got the obvious ones: Rock & Roll HOF, Baseball HOF. You have the ones no one seem's to care about like The Rockabilly Hall of Fame, or the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame (Actually exists). But there's not one Hall of Fame that everyone cares about. There are non-sports fans that could care less who's getting in the Baseball or Football Halls of Fame. There are people that aren't into current entertainment that don't care about who's on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But the one Hall of Fame we all could relate to is missing. The Nostalgia Hall of Fame. Things change from childhood to adulthood, but there are always things that remind us of childhood or our teenage lives. We might see an old book in the library and think "Hey, I remember reading that book in 5th grade." There might be an old toy at a yard sale or on the E-bay that reminds us how we played with it non-stop a long, long time ago. So why is there no Hall of Fame for all the old stuff we like? Well now there is. Kinda. I'm not ambitious enough to build a giant building and officially induct things and give them plaques and crap. But as a blogger I can do my duty. After all, in 10 or 20 years when the new cool thing on the internet is something totally different, blogging will be nostalgic. There are several categories that something can get inducted for including: Toys, Movies, Cartoons, TV Shows, Sports, Music, Video games, Quotes and more. Nostalgia will be inducted in an at least 10 years old basis, so anything before 1998 is fair game.

The Domino’s Pizza Noid

Posted by Josh on May 18, 2008

The Domino’s Pizza Noid
Hall of Fame Category: Characters
Ah, the Noid. The red clad, big eared, pizza mangler. The Noid hit his peak “popularity” in the 80’s. He was the mascot, or anti-mascot, of Domino’s pizza and had a sick, twisted obsession with ruining our pizzas. His nostalgia is wide spread, tons of commericals, two video games, and he even made appearences on The Simpsons, Family Guy (Adam West killed him), and even chased Michael Jackson in the Moonwalker movie. And if that wasn’t enough, The Noid commercials caused a mentally ill man named Kenneth Lamar Noid to hold an Atlanta Domino’s Pizza hostage for several hours claiming the commercials were a personal attack against him. So remember kids, Avoid the Noid!
