Idk how to tell you this OP but I'm nearly 30 and Johnny 5 isn't something I'd have been expected to see in my age range, it'd been out for a decade by the time I was born.

Well I am in my 30's and I've seen it, so I'm sorry to say but I can't accept your advances.
😭 But we're made for eachother, Deceptichum!
a childhood favorite. Steven's cringy brownface didn't hold up so well but the rest of the movie is peak 80's. one of my favorite bits;
Skroeder:
Howard, we'll have to put up road blocks and I'm going to need some Hueys.
Howard Marner:
Some what?
Skroeder:
Helicopters, Howard. Jesus Christ!
Howard Marner:
I thought they were called Choppers.
Skroeder:
Well now we call them Huey's.
Howard Marner:
Well, why wasn't I notified?
Just saw this movie the other day, well most of the movie at least. This guy I clicked with used it as an excuse for us to hang out. We made it through almost half of the movie before things rapidly progressed to my bedroom 😅
You got lucky, getting to watch almost half of Short Circuit!
lol yup! It’s too bad that it seems like we won’t see each other again. But that’s life 🤷🏻♀️
Well, the good news is there are 3 more halves to get to!
😂 so true! I really only watched it because he wanted to. It was too 80’s for my blood.
So you're saying you mostly watched it.
lol yeahhhhh
It doesn't matter if it's Johnny 5, Johnny Bravo, Johnny Knoxville, Johnny Cage, or Johnny Joestar.
You forgot Johnny Quest and Johnny Test...
I thought it might be a reference to the "Here's Johnny" scene in The Shining (itself of course a reference to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson)
