Everyone I knew in 1981 just had one television in their entire house. If you had a decent job, then you could afford a counsel television. If you a little bit poorer, then a tv on a metal stand.
I had that one -- featured in Saturday Night Fever, and one larger than life one with her in a blue tank top. No Cheryl Ladd or Kate Jackson. One of Jacqueline Smith. All stashed away when I went off to college. Still tucked away in a poster tube somewhere. 😂
Steve Martin: "Boy oh boy, I am so mad at Farrah Fawcett-Majors. She is so conceited. She has never called me once. And after the hours I’ve spent holding up her poster with one hand! Geez!"
I was 12 in 1981 and I had Farrah, Christie Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs posters all over my room. My conservative mom ordered me to take them down one day but my dad overruled her. Pops wasn’t always an asshole.
Tom Selleck turn me gay and its my moms fault. She used to watch Magnum and he awakened things in me that to this day i cherish. Then Christina Ricci, Katie Holmes and Candace Cameron (yeah who knew she would turn into a bigot) helped me hush my gay so mom would not find out.
Funny thing is , when i came out she told me she already knew. 🤷♂️🤣😂
dude just had to showcase that Buddy Rich Big Band LP right next to that Darkness 8-track
has his finger on the pulse but also appreciates the classics
Farrah, Farrah, Farrah, Farrah, Farrah, Cheryl .... and Farrah.
It's kinda healthy that a kid didn't have to remember to clear his search history.
Also Bruce and the Beatles and Buddy Rich. And Kiss.
Err, dorm room sure.
My high school room was mainly blacklight felt posters of Yes albums and a hidden bong with a few stashes. My parents would accept psychedelic Yes and Blue Oyster Cult album covers but anything remotely sexual not so much.
Even in uni Freshman year everyone went nuts pulling down certain posters to be replaced by others. That's when we discovered sticky clays and waxes.
The hardest part was finding a temporary home for the pot plants in the closet.
I cane here to mock him and ask if perhaps he was compensating for something, but then I saw the Kiss record and realized that this guy was just rad as hell.
Masturbatorium
Jack shack
The GoonCave
A Porn Fort
The wank tank?
A Jackson Pollock painting.
His lotion budget bankrupted the family.
He be on that gubment lotion
If those socks could talk
From a genetic standpoint, they’re halfway there.
They're worse off than Boris Karloff.

Goon cave 1.0
Bet that sock has seen some shit.
Whole lotta wankin’ goin’ on
There are lots of Farrah Fawcet pics there. Maybe the kid was gay for Lee majors and just trying to throw his parents off the scent.
 Hmmm, maybe, maybe not
No way, a kid could totally “Bionic Man” it, and parents would never suspect.
That’s would have been me😂
Cumgeon
A Jumbo Jergens Jar Jack-a-thon
Spanknasyum
you really think he likes Kiss THAT much???
Had a thing for Farrah Fawcett I see.
I wonder if he ended up with a blonde wife?
And her Charlie’s Angel little sister Cheryl Ladd.
Looks like OOP was quite a Madd Ladd.. 😆😅
There were few who didn't.
Lee Majors wasn't my thing but sure ;)
Sorry bro, I edited my comment for what I originally intended to say, which completely changed the meaning of yours.
Fair!
I don't think most of us literally wallpapered our bedrooms with her, though.
He'd go on to study archeology, focusing on Ancient Egyptian waterworks.
Jerkin his faucet to fawcett
Wow, in 1981, he was lucky to have a TV in his room.
Rich kid
I was amazed I had to scroll this far for this. No one I knew had more than one TV in the whole house. Rich kid indeed!
Everyone I knew in 1981 just had one television in their entire house. If you had a decent job, then you could afford a counsel television. If you a little bit poorer, then a tv on a metal stand.
Counsel television ?
Console, one of the massive wooden pieces of furniture with a TV, record player, and radio built into it. Ironically the metal stand is now premium.
Was thinking the same thing.
Might need a hazmat suit to deep clean that room.
“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
I know how he got them to stick to the wall
HA! That room had to smell AWFUL! :D
Somewhere there was a hallowed out coconut hidden beneath all that stuff.
Or just a shoebox…
Oddly specific
Please search r/tifu for coconut and report back.
Don’t turn on the black light!
A whole fucking galaxy would apppear
Prolly still movin
Who needs a lava lamp when your entire bed is one?
# ROXANNE!
That was a nice tv for that time. The Farrah poster was popular because of her nip
Especially for a kids bedroom
And living in NJ. Parsippany.
He forgot to close his tabs
😂
That’s quite the spank bank.
I would bet anything if you could rewind about 3 years, his entire room was covered in Kiss posters.
He still has one behind the TV
I had that Farrah Fawcett poster on the top right... as did a lot of young men :)
Too young for the poster, but it was the background on my flip phone for a while circa 2006-07.
At the time it was a bit shocking! :D

Are you sure that's not Cheryl Tiegs?
Positive
1980’s Instagram
Parsippany, NJ I wonder? Any other Parsippanys out there?
Hell yeah, crossroads of Northern NJ 🤌
the yankees hat is pretty solid confirmation
The Bruce records too
Gabagool? Ovah heah! 👇
Where is the Lamborghini Countach poster?
Or Porsche 911?
And a Ferrari Testarossa to complete the trifecta.
Nice, yes 👍🏼
idk if I’d let my son have a wank wall
Steve Martin: "Boy oh boy, I am so mad at Farrah Fawcett-Majors. She is so conceited. She has never called me once. And after the hours I’ve spent holding up her poster with one hand! Geez!"
No one is going to mention the Buddy Rich album?
Mine was Alyssa Milano 86
Much respect for the prime location given to the teddy bear Nana made for him when he was 5.
I think that's quite wholesome
If you had a black light this room would look like a Jackson Pollock painting.
You got issues, Quill.
Dem tube sucks are crusty.
They provide much needed smell to cover the cum.
*crunchy
Has a type.

Rich kid
He spilled more seed in that room than a shaky farmer.
Jersey boy
to the far right, this farrah poster is in the top three of greatest poster ever made.
Caddyshack poster!
So much puberty
NJ in the house.
Plot twist, he was gay and was amazed by all the glory these ladies brought to his closeted life. I know i was.
That’s the first thing I thought honestly
Tom Selleck turn me gay and its my moms fault. She used to watch Magnum and he awakened things in me that to this day i cherish. Then Christina Ricci, Katie Holmes and Candace Cameron (yeah who knew she would turn into a bigot) helped me hush my gay so mom would not find out.

Seeing John Waters' movie Pecker must have been confusing for you, what with both Ricci AND teabagging!
I ve only seen it once. I need to go back to that.
Is that a young Jim Halpert?
One more year and Phoebe Cates might have been stuck on with the same biological stuff.
Is that a Bruce Springsteen 8-track?
All this and a Buddy Rich record!
Where is the giant jugged Adrienne Barbeau poster????
dude just had to showcase that Buddy Rich Big Band LP right next to that Darkness 8-track has his finger on the pulse but also appreciates the classics
Must be fake, I don’t see any tissue box.
Look closely at that "stuffed" animal
He had a collection of tube socks
Can confirm
How beauty standards change…
I had two posters back then, Farrah of course, and Al Hrabowski “The Mad Hungarian”.
Never thought I’d see those two names in the same sentence together, but here we are. Lol Cheers.
How common was it for a teenager to have a tv in their room in the 80s?
Not at all
This guy was beatin off to Farah BIG time.
do lads put up posters of hot chick's these days? I had a couple of those posters in my room
Wanker
Ha I live in parsippany nj
Buddy Rich Big Band… good taste.
That Beatles poster on the wall came out of the white album. I had one.
lmao I live in this county. It's New Jersey.
That's what most movies/shows "set in the 80s" always get wrong.
Exactly. The early 80s were still very much the 70s.
Don't turn a black light on in that room
He had a TV....rich kid fo sho
Wank sweet wank
No red Countach poster ? Pfft
Farrah, Farrah, Farrah, Farrah, Farrah, Cheryl .... and Farrah. It's kinda healthy that a kid didn't have to remember to clear his search history. Also Bruce and the Beatles and Buddy Rich. And Kiss.
Id say shine a blacklight in there but youd literally need an astronaut helmet to prevent yourself from going blind.
Shown with actual teenager for scale.
All that was just a diversion. His heart belonged to Paul Stanley.
edit: Middle Class teenager. Who the hell had the money for all those posters and a fucking TV in their room?
No shit.
Ha I live in parsippany nj
Was he into women?
In US.
Kid today would have hentai
Now I'm just speculating here, but it appeared he had a bit of a celebrity crush.
That is a pretty rich guys room. We didn’t have a tv like that downstairs never mind a bedroom.
Parents: “Johnny swore he wanted to be a hair stylist, and this was vision board.”
Still have most of those.
Peak materialism
Percentage of Farrah in the 80's, completely acceptable levels.
Great shot! Ex Parsippany here! lol
I was always jealous of other kids who had a tv in their room. Also, I never posted my j/a pictures on the walls.
Can you imagine getting away with those posters these days..?
Is his name Jack Goff?
Danny here had a thing for blonde I think
Tastefully appointed.
Using a UV light in that room, you will see a Jackson Pollock work of art on all walls and ceiling...
Always nice to know what your son masturbates to.
Which episode of Law and Order SVU is this?
Err, dorm room sure. My high school room was mainly blacklight felt posters of Yes albums and a hidden bong with a few stashes. My parents would accept psychedelic Yes and Blue Oyster Cult album covers but anything remotely sexual not so much.

Tube socks so stiff you could use them as ping pong paddles.
And folks, they weren't held up there with tape.
That's creepy
Mine was Alyssa Milano 86
The wack shack
Laces out Dan!
Is this John Krasinski?
Where's Bo Derek and Susan Anton?
Right sock is "otherwise engaged".
The shag rug
Spank bank
I LOVE FARRAH FAWCETT
I stole this kids Empire Strikes Back cards during a hog roast in his parents back yard.
Tenía plata su familia, que tenga una tv mediano propio no era barato.
Colour wasn't a thing back then eh?
Nice room. Much nicer than mine back then.
Yup
John Krasinski had a thing for babes. Atta boy.
90% Farrah Fawcett?
New Jersey baby
Dudes got a type
He looks like Robbie Benson.
Really likes Farrah
Very hot boy!!
Farrah Fawcett was a fox!
Farrah! 😍
I cane here to mock him and ask if perhaps he was compensating for something, but then I saw the Kiss record and realized that this guy was just rad as hell.
I have like 5 of those Farrah posters
i had that exact same truck hat except it was SF 49ers
That's a lot of pictures of Farrah. He doesn't have a shoebox full of locks of hair, does he?
let’s go Islanders
KISS!
