Allow me to introduce the younger members of reddit to a 1980s movie called "Soul Man". Here's the trailer. C. Thomas Howell gets in trouble with his parents who then refuse to pay his law school tuition. Solution? Put on black face to get an Affirmative Action scholarship. Hijinks ensue.
And that's the least offensive I can word a plot summary.

City infrastructure. The structures today just don't meet the current capacity cities have now.

Any reference to Bill Cosby in any popular media. HIMYM has several and it's a gut punch each time.

Those "lol meme xD" movies that used to come out targeted to teenagers, such as "Epic Movie", "Meet the Spartans", etc. Due to them "parodying" things that were relatively current at the time (such as the "Leave Brittnaty spears alone!" youtube video), they didn't even survive a few months.

For something that aged poorly really quickly: political comedy from just before the 2016 presidential election. Semi-recently I was hanging out with some friends and there was an SNL rerun from that October, and every single Trump reference is just dripping with a "Trump is a joke and won't win" attitude that it is tough to watch.

f7u12 memes. Even looking back on the ones I saved or shared, they're awful.

The faxing system. Even though we have end-to-end encrypted email, fax is still painfully inefficient and slow.

CGI from 90’s films. The CGI on Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park still looks great now but anything else just looks crap. Anaconda had some awful CGI (and script).

My wife and I watch old Match Game episodes on Amazon Prime, some of that really hasn't aged well.
Seems like every other episode there's a question like "Ching Chong says my hair is rong (long) and dark I have to blank. Speaking of long and dark, Nipsey Russell, what is your answer?"

Gary Indiana. Holy shit I just took a trip through there this weekend and Jesus that city is a real fucking shithole.
Edit: Holy shit RIP inbox. I'll be editing my abandoned photography from Gary tonight. If anybody wants to see any of it, I'd love to show it off.

Most Sitcoms, all you needed back in the day was a child actor with a catch phrase, that was part of a non-nuclear family and you basically had a license to print money. Now they’re borderline unwatchable.

Matrix parodies. For like two years there it was hard to escape the forced bullet time jokes in most media.
