The only ones I actually remember/did were:

- "I've fallen and I can't get up!" (was that was from a Family Matters episode?)
- the Skip-Its... were those those things you put around your foot, and then it spinned (span?) around and you had to jump over it?
- Alf!!! I used to love that show!!! ... they showed it YTV for some reason. But I remember that! I even had Pogs with his face on it!

But then again, I was born in '88, so meh.
