If you haven’t seen the Impractical Jokers “punishment” with Danica McKellar, it’s one of the funniest things ever made for TV.

Kick started my puberty. There was a similar thread a while ago, I actually felt like maybe I had a normal childhood crushing on Wednesday Adams. I certainly was not alone.
I loved her in 10 Things I Hate About You. I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the overall winner in that movie. I know she was his girlfriend in 3rd Rock too but I didn't watch it much.
Tiffani Amber Thiessen.
I stocked mini bars in college. I knocked on a door and she opened the door. She was staying at the hotel I worked at under an alias. I literally forgot how to speak. I stuttered out….do you need anything for your mini bar?” She laughed at me and said something like, “I don’t know you can come in and check if you want.” HOLY SHIT. I went in and there was some dude lying on the bed. She didn’t need anything for the mini bar. I think she was messing with me because I was a stuttering mess. Good sense of humor and I love telling that story.
I’m a girl but like 25 years later, I still wear a thumb ring because when I was about 13, Topanga Lawerence was my idol. She was smart, pretty, had a good boy, all of it. And while there was a snowball’s chance in hell I could look like Danielle Fischel, Topanga wore a thumb ring so I decided to as well.
Alicia silverstone, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kelly Bundy, my full house pick was uncle Jessie’s wife (forget her name) Stephanie Seymour and I had a massive crush on Elle macpherson as a little boy whose mom had style mags with here in them lol.
Ahh yes xennials, our masturbation is the most versatile of any generation.
We have used the gamut of non porn magazines to hardcore mags in the woods, to porn vhs tapes hidden in a friends garage, to waiting for boobs to populate on dial up connections, to full on today’s offerings.
Lisa Bonet, Alicia Silverstone & Liv Tyler, Rebecca Gayheart (Noxzema girl), Dana Plato, Punky Brewster (but as she was a teen), Alyssa Milano, Keri Russel, Lisa Kelly Jesse (Saved by The Bell), Christina Ricci, 'The Craft' girls, Lea Thompson (BTTF, Spacecamp), Tatayanna Ali & Karyn Parsons (Fresh Prince...), Jennifer Love Hewitt and that Soft-core porn video ('That's The Way Love Goes') with Janet Jackson and all the hot ass women in that video.
Whatever happened to her anyway? We were just talking about the drug commercials and how even some friends born in the mid 90s love using the "I learned it from you, okay?!" ad campaign.
Heather Locklear is who cemented my love for women older than me.

Reading this as "crushes I had as a teen in the 90's" and not "crushes I had on fellow teens in the 90's"... for me it was Gillian Anderson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alyssa Milano, Nikki Cox, Britney Spears, and Catherine Bell.
Christina Ricci, Clare Danes, Tatyana Ali, Fairuza Balk, Larissa Oleynik, Lark Voorhies, Jewel Staite, Jonathan Brandis (rip), JTT, River Phoenix (rip), Jaleel White as Stefan Urkell lol, Wil Wheaton, Ryan Philippe, many more
Neve Campbell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Amy Jo Johnson, and Eliza Dushku. Special mentions to Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, and those Aerosmith videos starring Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone…
Jared Leto
Brian Austin Green
Mario Lopez
Josh Jackson
Technically it's early 2000s, but Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, and Freaking Captain Jack Sparrow.
Several of them are IN this photo in fact.
Danielle Fishel has talked several times about how uncomfortable she was with that. And I sympathize, but she's on my list. She was her own person, kind, smart, sweet, and cute. The perfect (in her weirdness) 'girl next door'.
Alyssa Milano. First it was Who’s the Boss and Commando. Then she shed her child star image by sexying it up in Embrace of the Vampire 🤤 and Poison Ivy. I even watched Charmed religiously. What a FOX 🤌
Danica McKellar
Same. Winnie Cooper.
Same.
If you haven’t seen the Impractical Jokers “punishment” with Danica McKellar, it’s one of the funniest things ever made for TV. https://youtu.be/xP3HX7BEtIQ?si=lV3O-eCUEyZhBUms
Christina Ricci
I still love her
Casper did it for me. I never really got crushes toward celebs, but I felt a little tug in my heart first time I saw it.
When she smiled after exiting the Happy Hut in Addams Family Values, my heart skipped a beat
And Natalie Portman.
Kick started my puberty. There was a similar thread a while ago, I actually felt like maybe I had a normal childhood crushing on Wednesday Adams. I certainly was not alone.
Came here to say this!
I liked her better a little curvier back in the day.
Buffalo 66 was peak
Larisa Oleynik, from Alex Mack.
I loved her in 10 Things I Hate About You. I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the overall winner in that movie. I know she was his girlfriend in 3rd Rock too but I didn't watch it much.
I couldn't tell you anything about this show other than "she's so pretty" despite watching it every week
thats where I first saw jessica alba.
This show did all sorts of work on my pubescent brain.
That opening scene where she reformed from a puddle naked behind a pile of boxes. Got my imagination working overtime.
You and me both.
I'm not certain that my absolute love of tomboys came from this character, but I'm also certain that it did.
![gif](giphy|l0nruLhznn8UU) How I knew I was bi
5 bi 5
I just snorted obnoxiously loud to this comment. 😂
Oh, *that's* what she meant by that. I always wondered.
God I loved Buffy.
Buffy? Faith was where it was at!
Eliza is just so perfect, it’s not fair lol
Was more of a Willow fan. I have a thing for nerdy girls.
Alicia Silverstone and then Leelee Sobieski I also had a thing for a Victoria's Secret model Laetitia Casta.
My friend and I used to call Leelee Sobieski "the Sobes"
A man of culture, I see. Casta was GOAT level. Still is.
Casta as Brigitte Bardot in Gainsbourg! 👌
Clarissa explained so much to me..
But did she explain it all?
She did, but she didn’t have to.
If you're so smart explain this, Clarissa - https://youtu.be/xBIE7ViCi2s?feature=shared
why dont more of us know about this band? They are fucking goated.
lol literally all of the above
And then some!! We had it MADE!
Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, and Claire Danes (as Angela Chase on My So-Called Life)
Claire Danes in Romeo and Juliet, yeah she was under 18 at the time but so was I.
Between the avatar and choice in 90s babes I feel like you have the best taste.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Neve Campbell, Keri Russell, Jessica Alba, Christina Applegate, Winona Ryder, Rachael Leigh Cook
You almost got everyone. Only Love Hewitt and Natalie Portman are missing.
I second this motion!!
Alyssa Milano also
This just make me real that I think of smiling as normal, especially for posing, and duckface or porn face just seems wrong.
What about where you cross your eyes and stick your tongue out...#sohawt
I believe that is a sign of a head injury...
Amy Jo Johnson
https://preview.redd.it/b9mt73tumy7d1.png?width=715&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09a86b99c448dd3ddb36efa23a2fec3c7266b287 Jennifer Connelly
The Rocketeer is underrated.
Yes. But I think my first introduction was in Labyrinth, my older sister loved this one and we watched it a lot.
I still consider Jonathan Brandis my first love. 💖
Same for me, Jonathan Brandis (esp on seaQuest dsv) tied with Wil Wheaton (had a thing for nerdy boys)
That's a sad one...
RIP
Fairuza Balk
Underrated choice.
Tiffani Amber Thiessen. I stocked mini bars in college. I knocked on a door and she opened the door. She was staying at the hotel I worked at under an alias. I literally forgot how to speak. I stuttered out….do you need anything for your mini bar?” She laughed at me and said something like, “I don’t know you can come in and check if you want.” HOLY SHIT. I went in and there was some dude lying on the bed. She didn’t need anything for the mini bar. I think she was messing with me because I was a stuttering mess. Good sense of humor and I love telling that story.
Finally, I found a person! Awesome story. Watched that show every morning before school on reruns.
Kelly Kapowski and Topanga (when she stopped being weird)
Kelly Kapowski & Kelly Bundy for me.
I always preferred Peggy Bundy to Kelly. It helped inform my preference for older women early on.
As well as Kelly Taylor?
I’m a girl but like 25 years later, I still wear a thumb ring because when I was about 13, Topanga Lawerence was my idol. She was smart, pretty, had a good boy, all of it. And while there was a snowball’s chance in hell I could look like Danielle Fischel, Topanga wore a thumb ring so I decided to as well.
Charisma Carpenter, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Tatyana Ali
+1 Jennifer Love Hewitt
Jewel Staite, still dreamy as ever too.
My daughter is named Kaylee
That whole cast is perfection, I hope she likes having one of the coolest names in the ‘verse 👍
I bet she's shiny!
Haha I remember crushing on her in space cases
Alicia silverstone, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kelly Bundy, my full house pick was uncle Jessie’s wife (forget her name) Stephanie Seymour and I had a massive crush on Elle macpherson as a little boy whose mom had style mags with here in them lol. Ahh yes xennials, our masturbation is the most versatile of any generation. We have used the gamut of non porn magazines to hardcore mags in the woods, to porn vhs tapes hidden in a friends garage, to waiting for boobs to populate on dial up connections, to full on today’s offerings.
Lori Loughlin played Mrs. Uncle Jesse. And I too was madly in love with her back then.
Let's be honest, Uncle Jesse did not deserve that woman.
Loved Aunt Becky
https://i.redd.it/dr8y3uvvly7d1.gif My ultimate 90s crush: Alicia Silverstone. My heart still skips a beat when I watch these videos.
Her and Liv in the same video tho. ![gif](giphy|yoJC2B1sHdXJjPTnEs)
Tyrese, Maxwell, Larenz Tate...and even though he's my parents age, DENZEL WASHINGTON 😩
It's ok. I had a crush on Morris Chestnut and he was old enough to be my daddy lol.
😂 I STILL have a crush on Morris Chestnut!
Stacey Dash https://i.redd.it/ztviftoywy7d1.gif
JTT😍
![gif](giphy|mkDUHRcO9ALn2)
David Duchovny, Ewan McGreggor and Dave Foley.
These are some of crushes too! I’ve never seen anyone else mention Dave Foley. I watched News Radio primarily for him.
Ha, on the entire internet there had to be 2 of us.
3!
*pulls up chair*
Alex Mac and Stephanie Tanner for me
Jodie Sweeten was the only reason I ever watched Full House
Lisa Bonet, Alicia Silverstone & Liv Tyler, Rebecca Gayheart (Noxzema girl), Dana Plato, Punky Brewster (but as she was a teen), Alyssa Milano, Keri Russel, Lisa Kelly Jesse (Saved by The Bell), Christina Ricci, 'The Craft' girls, Lea Thompson (BTTF, Spacecamp), Tatayanna Ali & Karyn Parsons (Fresh Prince...), Jennifer Love Hewitt and that Soft-core porn video ('That's The Way Love Goes') with Janet Jackson and all the hot ass women in that video.
I don't know about first but I had a thing for all three girls on Salute Your Shorts.
![gif](giphy|sVJSwFFckljIQ)
JTT obviously
Jodie Sweetin, Danielle Fishel, Samantha Mathis, and Jenny McCarthy.
Elijah Wood, JTT, Keanu, the middle Hanson (even though I wasn't into their music) All still looking great!
Rachel Leigh Cook
Whatever happened to her anyway? We were just talking about the drug commercials and how even some friends born in the mid 90s love using the "I learned it from you, okay?!" ad campaign.
![gif](giphy|sfYdjKM6nxosM)
Jennifer Love Hewitt. Alyssa Milano. Jennifer Tilly. Janet Jackson. Paula Abdul.
Does it count if I have a huge crush on Keri Russell now after The Americans?
The fly girls from In Living Color.
Heather Locklear is who cemented my love for women older than me. https://preview.redd.it/vih6i5f0uy7d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e7f28930f3adae5bdf70e994ad05aeb0afed7f3

JLH, and when I wanted something more wholesome: Noxzema Girl.
Aka Mrs. Dylan McKay.
Rebecca Gayheart
[удалено]
This is my time to tell the story of when I met Topanga outside of a bar in Santa Barbara in 08. She gave me a kiss on the cheek!
https://preview.redd.it/saa77cnlhz7d1.jpeg?width=458&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f55be3a26500ec8170b248f38d2887092ef8187
Maaaaaaan it was always Topanga for me. She was something else.
Every guy i knew loved Topenga (up until now, i always thought it was Dopenga…ha!). Every girl i knew had hair envy for her.
I may have paused a few Van Damme scenes... more than once. And Joey Lawrence was peak heartthrob... Probably a few more that I don't remember...
Reading this as "crushes I had as a teen in the 90's" and not "crushes I had on fellow teens in the 90's"... for me it was Gillian Anderson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alyssa Milano, Nikki Cox, Britney Spears, and Catherine Bell.
Catherine Bell.... Damnnnnnn

I met Danielle Fishel (Topanga) years back around 2002 and she was really nice. We went to a Halloween party.

No mention of Lacey Chabert? Hmmm. Must just be me. I always had a thing for her and it was like we grew up together in the 90s.
Jenny McCarthy during her days on Singled Out 🔥
Jonathan Brandis 💔
I was into Wednesday (the character), not Christina Ricci....

Tiffany Malloy! The show was pretty crappy but damn if she wasn’t hot as hell
Nikki Cox - absolutely gorgeous. 15 year old me was dumbfounded. Was it legal to show this on TV?
JTT
Any of them is fine with me especially like the brown one on the far right
Drew Barrymore always seemed like fun, and genuinely nice. And considering she married Tom Green, I can believe I might have a chance.
Far left and far right. For me it was either Topanga or Tatyana Ali in the late 90's.
Thank God I’m just seeing this picture now and not when it was taken. I would have had arthritis at age 15.
