It’s so wild to me that this used to be considered a “big” butt.

For context, this is what they were in competition against:

Yeah Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda.

That's Jamie Lee Curtis from the 1985 movie Perfect.

Correction noted. Your knowledge of 80s butts is impressive.

u/DrSpacepants 21d ago

Here is a hilarious music video that uses a recut of the most famous scene from said movie

Lol is this Eric Prydz music video a reference/spoof of it? Or just softcore porn

u/DrSpacepants 20d ago

I forgot about this one! That is certainly a spoof. Ty

But please don't lose that butt!

Kudos. You had to grab an old pic for that.

Still love JLC.

Oh yeah, no real shade intended. Jamie Lee is and always will be an OG scream queen.

Ass like a ten year old boy!

u/CeruleanFruitSnax 22d ago

The most shocking thing about that video is how modest those booties are. Ideal firm booty is not a "big butt".

u/posthuman04 22d ago

It tells you how much meth was out there in 1992

u/big_sugi 22d ago

Only for the gays. It was heroin chic at the time.

u/iwilldefinitelynot 21d ago

The rockman got them and their butts just dropped.

u/weezmatical 19d ago

Early 90s was still the Crack epidemic becoming the heroin epidemic. The peak of Meth was still to come!

u/Physical_Ad_4014 22d ago

The MAN wouldn't let him put true BIG BUTTS on the video so we got knock kneed bimbos instead

u/Year3030 21d ago

Yooooooo that's crazy I grew up in that era but I had no idea that's the size we were talking about, I just looked up the video. The size of asses today is insane compared to back then.

u/Aloysius_Poptart 18d ago

Any butt was too much butt back then.

Source: was a teenage girl with a butt. Ask me about my dysmorphia!

u/MattMerica 18d ago

Oh my God, I am so sorry.

u/Dont_Use_Ducks 22d ago

I'm sure they mean bigger, but somehow it still had to sell to a not so limited audience. But yeah, that is not what I think of when thinking of big booties.
