"Bring Back Weird Epcot" and other unofficial retro Disney World tees

Oh god. That was so awkward to watch with my parents when I went there back in '89. Martin Short telling me about how his parents (his dad played by Martin Short) got together to make a baby? Not fun.

Epcot in the late-80s, early-90s was a strange time. Lots of attractions got redone with celebrities. I remember the Cranium Command show from that same pavilion, starring George Wendt (as a stomach), Bobcat Goldthwait, and Hanz & Franz. It felt dated by the time it debuted. They got very lucky with Ellen’s Energy Adventure, though; who knew that in 2016, Ellen, Jeopardy, and Bill Nye would still be relevant?
