This is one of my absolute favorite gifs. The fact that it has two masculine heroes giving a dramatic high five makes it really appropriate for the tone and audience of this forum.



I was messaging a friend on Facebook and I wanted to congratulate him for accomplishing something cool. Since gifs only appear as still images I searched for the original clip. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.

The actual clip, from the movie Tango and Cash, is a perfect blend of 80's cheesiness and awesomeness. And that glorious synth-pop song makes it perfect:





The whole song is pretty glorious (in that cheesy 80's pop kind of way)





Now I wonder if you guys can help me. What are the origins of these gifs?:

I remember when Tango & Cash came out, it was a big deal because of the star power.

"laughing bearded dude" I'm pretty sure that's Planet of the Apes

You mean Charles Heston from Planet of the Apes?

Generation gap I guess...

The black kid is from an episode of American Gladiators, and it's very anti climactic.





The other is Ari Gold from Entourage.

That is an image of Don Johnson from the television show "Miami Vice"

He is reacting to his car, a Ferrari Testarosa, being destroyed.

No, not Charlton Heston. I was talking about the guy that looks like Grizzly Adams. You see it sometimes in the forum. Not a laugh, more like a knowing smirk now I think of it.

It's from a dating reality show where they set women up with Eastern European Royalty. That's Prince Reginald Von Bange, Future Ruler of Puhsayehistien.

Actually it was a (fake) Daytona. The white Testarossa was the replacement.

Seeing as we're talking trivia, where did this one come from?
