i can't pick just one thing. a random sample of my favorite 80s things: side ponytails, stirrup pants, slap bracelets, and those plastic rings you can use to tie your t-shirt without making a knot.
Also, Punk Brewster is a great 80s show that does not start with "The". Remember when she locked herself in that old fridge?

I have two:
1. Gratuitous boob shots in all comedy movies (random topless girls walking through the scenes).
2. Synthesizers used in every song.
The Redskins.
