That actually makes the most sense!

Always, one of my favourite films, know the lines off by heart, but still enjoy it every time I watch it. 😀

And the thought that future Biff ends up making a line of home cleaning products makes sense given his auto detailing business...

Ha! I see.

Back To The Future is one of my favorites too. I remember first seeing it on the TV back in the 90s (98 or 99, I think, or maybe 2000?)

Oddly, for many years, I only ever saw parts 1 and 3. Was part 2 less popular somehow?

Anyway, I recently got all three parts on Laserdisc because I can (and I think Laserdiscs are neat).

Laserdiscs are neat! And a very cool way to watch BTTF!

Also can’t call it Kif as that’ll just make me think of Futurama!

At the risk of sounding like a pop culture ignoramus, I don't understand this reference....

Part 2 was the one I watched most as a kid, I wore out the VHS tape…

Me in the shower with Biff washing myself and the macs sounds a little bit strange for me.

I was just at a model car show recently, looking for the one DeLorean Time Machine model kit I’m missing from the set of 4. Thankfully, I bought the 3 I could find at the last in person show in 2019, before all the Covid stuff happened.

Show finally returned this year, but nobody had any of them for sale, let alone the one I still need. Might have to break down and buy it online somewhere.

Overall, the timing of a random BttF reference is so weird for me.

I was going through some saved sellers on eBay and saw this https://www.ebay.com/itm/275639666753
I know that is not what you were talking about (after I came back here and checked), but I never see BttF items on my searches and it was just kind of fun to see these old kits.

Today I saw a car with a license plate frame that is obviously for a BttF fan, because it had the classic phrase from the end of Part 1 and beginning of Part 2: "Where we're going, we don't need roads."
