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?
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)
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
