- The old gas station pumps, Alice's hair and Betsy Palmer's sweater are offered, but the winner is two characters doing a Bogart impersonation and a Katherine Hepburn impersonation (as transcribed), references the newcomer did not catch.
- The modern equivalent would be imitating Jules from Pulp Fiction or Forrest Gump; it was a little late for Bogart, but by the theory of cultural expiration it had not expired yet, since Eddie Murphy still did it in movies.
- Another participant says 1980 still feels like the 70s, then lists hitchhiking and white kids going to the lake, with a riff on 45 tons of raw sewage making lakes less appealing.
- The last picks are the underwear in the movie, with the claim that Victoria's Secret totally changed panty technology, and the bedtime ritual of putting on a bathrobe or nightgown even at summer camp.
