18 Things About L.A. Gear That’ll Make You Cringe
2. The ad with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in spandex short-shorts and high socks.

I still get colds.
I still listen to my mom.
But no one tells me how to dance.
9. Michael Jackson with tights under ripped jeans and a bunch of kids.
10. Michael Jackson in an auto shop with this kid. Who has awesome hair. And is demonstrating to Michael how to use a steering wheel.
