Tell Us Which '90s TV Shows And Movies Aged Like Milk
Plenty of movies and TV shows — no matter how popular they were in their day — have aged poorly by today's standards. The '90s was no exception. For example, the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" was played as a joke, but in the current political climate and with reports of a certain prominent public figure seemingly doing a Nazi salute, it comes across as way too flippant a use of such a word. And when I first watched the Saved by the Bell episode where Screech plays chess against a Russian exchange student, I remember being shocked by how casually they bullied him for being a "commie." And in the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective scene where Ace reveals that Lt. Lois Einhorn is a trans woman by ripping off her clothes is just grossly anti-trans — and it's an example of a harmful trope where a character's gender identity is used as a big reveal or twist. So, what's a scene from a '90s TV show or movie that has aged poorly, in your opinion? Why? Share your answers in the comments, and they may be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!

‘No soup for you!': Seinfeld's Soup Nazi serves fans (and a cause) in New Westminster
Actor Larry Thomas, best known for his unforgettable 'No soup for you!' catchphrase, made a special appearance Sunday at Greens & Beans Deli in New Westminster. Three decades after his iconic line first aired on Seinfeld, the Soup Nazi is still serving up laughs – and soup – for a good cause. Actor Larry Thomas, best known for his unforgettable 'No soup for you!' catchphrase, made a special appearance Sunday at Greens & Beans Deli in New Westminster. Fans lined up for a bowl and a chance to meet the man behind one of the most quotable characters in sitcom history. 'I told him my mom passed away a few years ago, and watching Seinfeld was something we always did as a family,' said local resident Chris Keough. 'The Soup Nazi was her favourite character.' Proceeds from the event went to support victims of the Lapu Lapu Day tragedy. For Thomas, it was more than just reliving a role. 'We always have fun doing this,' he said. 'But just being able to raise money and help people – how could you not?' Thomas has made appearances at the deli before, including a 2017 event to support wildfire relief efforts. Deli owner Matthew Green says it's all about bringing people together. 'If you can put smiles on faces while also helping people in need – that's the ultimate recipe for success.' Even kids too young to have seen the original show were in on the fun. Ten-year-old Attila stole the spotlight with a full Soup Nazi performance, earning cheers – and approval – from Thomas himself. The fundraiser brought in over $10,000.

Fundraising efforts continue for Lapu Lapu festival victims one month after attack
VANCOUVER - Efforts to raise money to support the victims of the attack on Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Day festival are still underway one month after the vehicle ramming that killed 11 and injured dozens more. Multiple fundraisers were held this weekend to support the families of those killed in the attack and those who were hurt. In New Westminster, B.C., on Sunday, 'Soup Nazi' actor Larry Thomas, best known for his role as a strict soup seller on the sitcom 'Seinfeld,' served soup as part of a fundraiser at the Greens And Beans Deli. A three-kilometre run was held earlier that day at the Toronto Zoo to raise money for United Way's Kapwa Strong Fund, which offers grants to not-for-profit organizations supporting those affected by the attack. And a tribute concert took place on Saturday in Surrey, B.C., hosted by the local Philippine Independence Day Society, which issued a statement saying nine Surrey families were impacted by the tragedy. The annual festival had just finished on the evening of April 26 when an SUV rammed through the crowd, causing what has been called the 'darkest day' in the city's history. Adam Kai-Ji Lo faces eight counts of second-degree murder and further charges are anticipated. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 26, 2025
