I don't get this joke, what are poages?

I smell a troll.

>>91359370
Pogs. It was a game from the 90's involving caps that you collected to play. Your age is showing OP

>>91359370
Pogs, beanie babies. Pet rocks etc. Talking Elmo. Tomigachis just fad stuff. People used to think beanie babies would have lasting value as collectables.

>>91360664
nobody would hear 'pogs' and type 'poages'
it's like pacifica's ridiculous inability to pronounce 'sharing' or whatever

>>91360916
one of these things is not like the others..

>>91359370
phat ass white girl

>>91360916
never understood what separated a beanie baby from stuffed animals

what makes the difference?

>>91360974
small PVC beads. it means that while they are less cuddly than a cotton/poly-fluff-filled stuffed animal, they are a lot more posable. you can sit them up on their fat little asses, bend them over, and they stay that way. you can move their little limbs around. Some of them had some clever use of elastic, too, like you could wrap the snake around your arm.
they also had a pretty good unified aesthetic style. i used to draw beanie baby styled animals for things they hadn't made yet, and then they made some of them (like the scorpion)

>>91360956
Sorry I was just thinking of random fad shit that I remembered. Obviously talking Elmo was kiddy stuff

>>91359475
Nobody talks about slammers. The Slammers were the coolest thing about pogs.

>>91360974
Beanie Babies are cute. I still have a few around here somewhere. A dragon, a lion, and a tiger. Honestly, the later ones were so detailed/poseable they almost doubled as action figures.

>>91361202
I still have this awesome Dragon one had gems and stuff in it.

>>91361017
got any pics? that sounds super cute, i used to love beanie babies.

>>91361202
I had this sick plain-looking one with a metallic finish. It must have been filled with lead or something. It could flip a stack of pawgs like a flapjack.

>>91361163
yeah. must-get christmas presents for dumbass kids is a totally separate thing from collector fads. but they are both interesting and ephemeral
i hated how pogs just disappeared from my life when I had just finally gotten some real ones that I didn't make myself by cutting them out of the cardboard backing of a pad of paper. i mean, my first coupla pogs got stolen, but I still have the remaining approximately 16 inches of pogs I acquired since then, including the official pogmaker pogs that I absolutely wasted because as a kid I had no patience and had an obsessive need to use up the entirety of things.. like pads of paper.
>>91361254
plus they started making them in that uber soft fleece shit. i love it so much. sadly, my beanie babies are still in my dad's third wife's garage.

>>91361306
I used to love playing for keeps. Some kids were smart In how they used their slammers

>>91361301
nah I'm not sure whether I still have those drawings (probably not, those would have been from 96, my oldest saved drawings that I can easily find are from 97) but I definitely haven't scanned them.
>>91361202
>>91361306
it's sad to me how many lame slammers some people had. they kept giving out shitty plastic promotional ones. my pride and joy was a gold-plated buzzsaw slammer with the imprint of two fingertips on the other side

>>91361316
I had that purple pogmaker too

>>91360974

One's filled with stuffing, the other is filled with thousands upon thousands of spider eggs...

>>91361342
I remember being like.. what the fuck are these, why would anyone want them? then I bought a pack just for fun, and.. gotta admit, they appealed. not sure how, but a strange appeal. I never bought any more, but I kinda get it

the games you were meant to play with them, though? Fucking impossible. just like that 'pig dice' game.
>>91361346
I was too chicken to play for keeps. kids would tell stories on the playgrounds about how they flipped entire stacks at once and acquired them. they had fuckin 3-foot-long holders made of transparent neon plastic in several colors

>>91359370
I thought he meant pawgs. like he had a magazine collection of pawgs.

>>91361346
I had a pretty good career, but I still remember the foil skull pog I lost. It still haunts my dreams.

>>91361403
That was half the fun and I remember those huge tube stacks. I loved getting new pogs. We had a huge group of us from school so we were all trading back and forth. I had a three inch thick metal slammer so I won a lot. I was nice though if they had specific ones that they liked a lot I'd give them back

Did anyone have a yoyo fad at their school?

>>91361202
PIN TIN SLAMMMERS

>>91361460
Right. Metal slammers were so unfair but they were great

>>91361486
Briefly. But everyone sucked at it except that one weirdo, so it didn't last very long.

>>91361486
Yep that lasted for a good half a year

>>91361479
i remember those fucking door-unlocking-combat-shotgun-slug slammers.. i never saw the point of them. you're meant to hit the stack with a disk. you can't very well grab a 3-inch cylinder between your finger and thumb and slam it down. its only real purpose at that point is being a prop as an oil barrel for action figures

>>91361486
no, i assumed the one on the simpsons was something from a writer's childhood back in the day
i remember yo-yo balls though and I wanted one so badly. a spring-loaded yo-yo that automatically winds itself back up, what's not to like?
unlike other weird toys like fucking balzak. what even was that
i always wanted those giant stylized snake plush things though

>>91361683
Actually you'd be surprised I saw people using the thinner metal spammers better than the thick ones. For some reason it would flip more of stacks depending how you hit. I found some used different kinds of metal is so they were heavier

>>91361202
I had a wooden souvenir one I bought at a Chargers game. It was about a cm thick and flipped everything I ever used it on. The thing was incredible.

>>91361342
Fuck you. But also, I want to fuck you.

>>91361785
that's what i'm saying, the thin would be better than the thick.

The joke with pogs is always that they're irrelevant but I wonder when they'll be so outdated that people won't even make that joke anymore.

>>91361486
Yep, when I was back in elementary school.

That was a quick fad.

>>91362049
i imagine they'll outlast direct memory as a remembered joke, like pet rocks.

>>91361486
yup, they were expensive yoyos though

More important question:
Why does that Morty know about pogs, let alone collects them?

>>91361486
If I remember correctly it led right into Pokemon.

>>91360664
>underage

I dunno, man. I'm 23 and have only a very, very brief recollection of the tail end of the pog fad from when I was four or five because my older brother had them. It's more than likely somebody who's 18 or 19 doesn't know what the fuck they are.

>>91362114
that's another dimension morty. pogs lasted there

>>91362114
Rick showed it to him, as a joke.

>>91361342
holy shit i got a fuckton of these in a knit bag some lady made me at church back in the day in my closet.

tfw I have rare chase ones that sell for decent today

>>91362270
that is the great thing about pogs, they transcended all life paths. i had several fun and genuinely hip christian pogs, i had a slammer with 'know fear' on it.. on the other hand i also had hilarious pig-themed pogs handed out by the pork council

>>91360916
Same shit as comics.

Collector value comes from demand and scarcity. Most of these things simply aren't scarce, and a lot of dumb speculators don't seem to realize that when they buy up a bunch of a product that's STILL being produced, all that's going to happen is the company will pump out more to meet the perceived demand.

Once people realize this stuff isn't really hard to obtain and there aren't really that many people who want it that desperately (mainly just other stupid speculators buying and selling from each other), the bottom drops out.

>>91362838
And ironically enough they end up being worth less than the average shitty toy from the same period because no one bothered to save them in any good condition, but people still want to buy them to replace the childhood toys their parents threw away when they went to college.

Slammers were a cheat pog in my days of middle school. You had to do it with regular pogs or it doesn't count. Even in the realm of regular pogs, there were special ones. Still paper like, but very crisp. There were 2 sets of prized pogs, the uckoos (or however it was spelled) and these golf based ones that said eagle, birdy, etc. I can still remember the smell.

>>91363065
it's weird how i know the types of things you mean, but all of those were completely different in my circles. it was all about yinyang, poison, and buzzsaw.
i cant imagine playing pogs without a slammer though

>>91363126
You had to use all your strength to even get them to budge. It was an art in middleschool and pogs were just about the biggest thing for the school.

I miss the 90's

I wanted to seem more grown up going into middle school so I put all of mine into storage between sixth and! Seventh grade

>>91363964
i will never understand the need to seem something knowing you arent that thing inside

>>91364008
Well I was hanging out with older girls because they were babysitting younger step siblings so I was caught unaware that I even wanted it. They also shouldn't let highschool girls around younger males.

>>91364148
shit okay you didnt mention there were older girls around. even kevin smith abandoned comics for a while for that reason.

>>91364322
I was a big kid too so I got mistaken for older than I was. I hit six foot by twelve so. Which also made it funny during rough housing. I used to dunk their babysitter and her friends would die laughing. She hated losing though so I'd let her win sometimes. Especially when her huge breasts popped out when said horsing around happened. Trust me. Any guy you know would give up childish things.

>>91364440
ditto, alas when i was 12 women were not remotely into tall and mature. they wanted little homos.

still, the secret is confidence. you make it clear that toys are awesome, they will buy it. as long as you're not sperging out. let that be a lesson to all of you. when i was in college my impressive zoids collection impressed lots of girls
dumb slutty ones i wasn't interested in, but still

>>91363613
Pawgs. Phat Ass White Girls.

>>91364564
Despite my impressive size I wasn't confident at all about anything besides sports. I felt by keeping by. them around it would undermine me somehow. And since I knew that I didn't know much about anything it would make it easier to spot. In end I ended up staying more true to myself though. Once I realized girls with absent parents have shit taste in guys. I dumped her hs boyfriend into garbage cans and embarrassed the shit out of him. Glad he got embarrassed because he probably beat piss out of me being 4 years older

Fuck I had so many of those...

it's hard to collect LOTS of something unless it's simple and printed on paper so it's cheap

>>91365224
i will volador when i'm good and ready
does tazo mean something or sound like it does?
i'm looking this shit up now, i find it highly amusing that they had 100 looney tunes ones, 124 tiny toons (each character must have gotten a fucking dozen different ones), and only 51 pokemon. christ guys if you had done more, sales of chips would have gone through the fucking roof. every kid would want to get the full collection.
really i feel shitty that every bag of chips i ever ate didnt come with diddly squat. then again in our nanny state they wouldnt let them come in anything but vegetables, so..

Same here in Spainistan. They came in chips bags, and back in my time we had Looney Toons, Dragon Ball, Pokemon and Digimon. We would put them face down forming a tower, and in turns we would try to brind them down by hitting the one on the top with another tazo. You won the ones that came face up from the tower.

Damn,so many memories. I remember the day we all went crazy at school because a guy got Mewtwo from a bag

>>91365367

>>91365322
What were the rules here? Flip the ones you keep or flip them all before your opponent does? It just seems a bit unlikely to have the whole stack flip without a few scattering everywhere remaining unflipped.

I think it only lasted one summer. The "game" was pretty dull.
You make a small tower with small collectible disks.
You throw a plastic disc at them.
You take the ones that are upside down.
You stack the rest.
Your opponent does the same.
Who gets the most pogs wins.

>>91360086
in pog form?!!!!

>>91366345
Pretty much. Pogs were like heelies, you'd see maybe one person out of a hundred that actually gave a shit about them and yet somehow they've come to define the 90s.

>>91366580
I remember kids collecting theses disks like stickers.(Collecting stickers was also a thing) But almost nobody played it.

>>91366660
Everyone I knew played Magic the Gathering instead.

Then TCGs died down for a bit and now it's all Yu Gi Oh and Pokemon

Nope, pogs were a world wide phenomenon, still big in Brazil

>>91360664
I hate to break it to you friend, but we're old men now. Most 18 year olds have never heard of pogs.

Pogs were a thing, then Crazy Bones, then Yo-Yos, then Pokemon. Pokemon stuck. Kind of grew out of toy fads beyond that. Anyone younger than me know what was the big thing after Pokemon?

kids today google, not giggle. they play angry birds instead of getting angry AT birds. they all have an ipad but no iq. not even one. they playstation but they never play station. i.e. one pretending to be a train and the others pretending to be different trains or low paid maintenance workers. they’re obsessed with one direction, rather than enjoying all eight directions equally. facebook… but unable to face… a book. or a hoop with a stick. a lost generation. the tv show.

I still have a thick plastic pog with Mortal Kombat dragon logo on it, that I treasure very much. My spawn will be very surprised when they open my testament, fucking brats.

>>91369561
for my area yugioh was pretty big 6th grade

>>91360664
Your generation really likes to wank off how old you are so that you appear wiser when it comes time for you to give an opinion. Of course people know what pogs are, they're referenced in several episodes of Simpsons, which is the foundation of most people post-1989's sense of humor. Aside from that, most media aimed at younger people is made by people of your generation, the youngest people who are able to be the crative leads in stuff, look how many shows have so many jokes based in 80's nostalgia. Look at every other reboot of an 80's property.

OP is clearly a troll, playing at your insecurity about your age. Grow up and stop feeding them, dude.

gross weird-looking pill-shaped this, gross weird-looking pill-shaped that. and i GUESS people bought it.. so it continued the idea of just selling one generic kind of figurine with a million different paint daubs that make them other characters.. except they look fucking stupid. the designs have to be warped all over the place to fit them, and it's not like they're any cheaper as a result.. if i wanted something that wasn't shaped like a ninja turtle, painted up like a ninja turtle, i'd just buy or make something and paint it myself.

These silicone spiky ball things were popular in my school for a short while, but they got banned because some dumb shit managed to choke to death on one. They were bigger then a child's fist, mind you. There was also a small, 6 inch deep pond that got filled in because some chuckle fuck managed to drown in it.

The problem with public schools is that they have to accommodate for the absolute stupidest children in the group. And in a group of hundreds on hundreds of very young kids, there's going to be at least one ridiculously slow motherfucker setting the pace for the rest of them.

Beyblades were huge for a long time. There was even an anime about it. They were just spinning tops, you spun them with some thing that got them up to speed instantly and the funnel shape of the arena would make them hit each other and "battle". The arenas were flimsy as shit though so they would periodically break apart under the stress.

and no, that's not so much the problem with public schools, it's the problem with us refusing to single out the stupid and isolate them from everyone else. even though forcing them to integrate only hurts them. they need to be in their own special schools, which will understandably get shit funding, but oh well. gotta bet on the winning horse. someone has to go to work and pay the tax to support the rest

It's a shame they were dripping with 'we're begging you, buy our product, we really REALLY need to be pokemon' tryhard attitude and no understanding of coolness. It's not likely that I ever would have bought them en masse or anything but I still like that they exist

>>91383532
in my day they were laotian and hmong. the class just split up so the teacher could give them all of her attention and leave us smart kids alone, which is how we wanted it anyway. the point is we should have homeschooled from the beginning if we were just going to learn by reading books on our own

i love how pogs were apparently a massive blind spot in the usually overprotective state of anything kids might enjoy from the late 80s onward. they were letting us throw little almost-swallowable metal buzzsaws at things. i never saw the batarangs but I waaant them.
strictly speaking though if they were metal, they were slammers.
>>91397786
see this is what's odd, everyone here HAS to be in their 30s, right? the pogs fad was in '93 and it lasted barely a year. If you were 7 or under, I can't imagine you actually remember pogs. I don't remember shit from under 7 except ninja turtle figures.

>>91397930
Nah it lasted longer than that, I was born in 91 and had a huge pog collection by the time I was 7 or 8. I had this long plastic tube the exact size of a pog to keep them all in. Please tell me where they all went.

Like other anons said Beyblades became popular and some of those were metal and serrated, and much heavier than slammers. But by the late 90s-2000s kids could just buy toys from overseas with the internet regardless of how dangerous they were.

You can't just take 8 cross 8, there's tons of overlap. There aren't 4*4 cardinal 3D directions, there are only 6. So why would there be 8*8 inter-cardinal ones?

Number of inter-cardinal directions for N-dimensions is 3^n - 1. You can think of it as a sub-divided cube 3x3x3, not counting the mid-point.

>>91398252
No clue where they were coming from but no I never saw any pokemon or anime stuff, they were mostly movie related. I remember some pretty cool holographic Jurassic Park slammers.

>>91398404

maybe you were just buying unsold stock...

You ever notice how our Rick and Morty are significantly more intelligent than all other Ricks and Morties? I found it particularly noticeable in this scene. Our Morty would never interrupt a hearing just to ask if someone wants to look at his pog collection.

>>91407152
I think it's just that Rick is the least full-of-himself Rick. thus naturally all the other Mortys have been bullied into not just doing what he says but also idolizing him or else. This Rick at least doesn't need that. he thinks anyone who demands respect is just showing their insecurity.
so this Morty isn't exactly smarter so much as he is willing to call anyone on their bullshit, even Rick. He's done it like 10 times and Rick's only reaction was to prove him wrong, not to try to punish him for it

>>91407152
I mean it goes without saying that the Rickiest Rick would have the Mortiest Morty

>secret games where we played "battle city" rules

So many times I lost and got cards. Those were indeed the days.

>Nah it lasted longer than that, I was born in 91 and had a huge pog collection by the time I was 7 or 8.

Really? Cause it seemed like Pogs died out by 95 or 96. Maybe there were a few companies hanging on or something or maybe a regional thing.

>>91369516
I still hear them mentioned in shows and stuff but never by anyone under the age of like 40 and it is never important to the plot of an episode. Still though, pogs are talked about more than people notice.

>>91413102
but people in their 40s would have been over 18 when pogs came out

You guys want to see MY POG collection?

Think of it. The first voter generation who does not remember a pre 9/11 world.

What about evil Morty?

>>91411311
Are those yours? How much money did you spend?

>>91414549
yeah shit might actually get better without the taint of that
but their parents are still shitty people who grew up with 9/11 era values

>>91406961
Dude, I know EXACTLY what you mean
I also used to have fantasies about my kid self getting a video game for his birthday and slowly getting addicted, causing me to neglect my friendships and making my parents sad
There's either some repressed trauma behind these thought schemes or I'm just extremely autistic, who knows

>>91415696
I really think it's just a case of an instruction becoming something you actually know and believe. the change from being just raw behavioral conditioning to something you genuinely feel is kinda ... it's gotta be a difficult transition.
I know I have something like that for like.. my dad used to always tell me stuff like "these people are stealing cable, but don't make a big thing about it, they've invited us over" or "they're catholic, so their prayer sounds kinda weird, but don't make em feel self-concious, we're guests here" or like "your mom's feeling really fat right now, so don't say anything that might make her feel bad" and i'm .. i'm fucking TWO, but I remember feeling like 'uh, she's not fat. she's pregnant with my little sister'
but in their defense, i was ALWAYS saying shit that I had no idea it wasn't allowed, and wished they warned me before skipping right to punishment, so I guess I can't get too mad for overcompensating

>you can sit them up on their fat little asses, bend them over, and they stay that way.

>>91416100
i meant in a SITTING position, you goober

>>91415189
Yes, they're mine. Not that much, I got into legacy around 2009, Underground Seas were still 80ish

i love threads like this

>>91389470
Who else was a poorfag who went to swap meets and bought stacks of pirated yugioh cards? i was walking around with egyptian god cards at the time.

>>91418407
if i had ever been aware of a swap meet, flea market, or anything else like that, I would have rushed to it on the quickfast. but I've never seen one in real life.

>took nearly half the thread for more than one person to post anything related to Pawg
/co/ what the actual fuck? I was an early 90s kid and thought of pawgs, with absolutely zero idea of what a pog is. How? How do you fuck up in life this badly?

>>91413882
thats a good collection! I want to feel them too!

>>91419278
why are you paying attention to shitty nigger slag?
disclaimer I shouldn't need to make: nigger isn't intended racially here, but as a critique of a subculture, which any race is apparently welcome as a member of, although you almost never see asians

as if that post needed any more ambiguity
