It’s pretty easy to spot somebody who grew up in the ’90s . We get unreasonably excited at the sight of a 3D animated dancing baby. We can’t get on any ship or sailboat without heading directly to the bow to shout, “I’m king of the world!” We were the first generation with email addresses, and the last to listen to all our music on CDs. We still get misty-eyed over Kurt Cobain and Tupac Shakur and Princess Diana , and we’ll still sing along with Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” (even if we couldn’t stand the song in the ’90s).

But perhaps the easiest way to spot a ’90s kid is by what makes them laugh. Nobody loves a good Tickle Me Elmo joke more than we do. If lines like “no soup for you” or “now that’s some high quality H 2 O” don’t make you laugh uncontrollably—and maybe get a little choked up because, wow, was that really so long ago?—you’re not a true ’90s kid. Here are 25 jokes that those of us who came of age in the last days of the 20th century will find uproarious, and will likely leave the rest of you scratching your heads.
