  1. Although we’ve come to the end of the road
    Still I can’t let you go
    It’s unnatural you belong to me I belong to you
    Come to the end of the road
    Still I can’t let you go

  2. At first I was all, “oh girl,” but then I realized that if you replace “Jonathan Taylor Thomas” with “Christina Hendricks” you have my heart’s throbbing anthem.

  3. wait, what the fuck was the question that the reporter asked her?

    even for a high school paper in 1994, “what would you do if you were dating your idol and he cheated on you?” is a weird question to think to ask.

  4. Oh, girl
    JTT’d be in trouble if you left him now
    Cause he don’t know where to look for love
    He just don’t know how

    • I love you without knowing you for this reference.

      You know, if you cheated on me, I would get mad but I wouldn’t dump you. I would just ask you to stop with the other Monster.

  5. Also has anyone seen JTT? Let’s put out an APB

  6. Jim Henson Presents: Fatal Attraction Babies.

  7. Oh, how fondly I remember JTT…

  8. Sometimes you just gotta be like, Hakuna Matata.

  9. Isn’t JTT a little too old to dater her?

  10. The”… BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY” is clearly implied.

  11. Ugh, how did you find my middle school yearbook? That’s so emBARRassing!

    • it was under this

      • I actually have this issue. Here’s the text that originally accompanied this photo:

        “I love sports. Look at all my sportsballs! So many.

        You know what sport I particularly love? The sport where grown adults decide I should pose with a football where my arms are wrapped in a strange, contorted fashion so as to not obscure the object except for where my fingers are splayed across it– the round tapered object, bisected down the center, displaying an uncanny sheen matching the one on my lips. That I should look at the camera with a look no one has ever made playing football. The sport where adults who work for a magazine called “Teen Beat,” think this is the best possible way for a child to be photographed for other children.

        Awesome sport, guys.”

        • I swear when I first looked at this image it said “Teen Bait”. I swear!

          • Speaking of ‘BAIT,’ during Christmas with my parents and sister we all watched BAIT starring Jamie Foxx! Nah, I’m just playing.

            What happened was my sister plays harp. The lowest strings are made of metal. When I was a kid I used to run my thumbnail up and down one of the strings, making a scraping sound akin to that of a file on jail bars. My sister and I used to call it the song “Jailbreak.”

            During Christmas this year at my sister’s place, I had some drinks in me, I was standing by her harp, and in front of my two friends, my parents, my sister, her boyfriend and his brother, I asked aloud, “Wanna hear what JAILBAIT sound like?”

            WHOOPS! A wrong word came out of my mouth!

  12. JTT. Dude. Find this girl, and you get a free pass FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Lemme know if you need help, aight bro?

  13. If I were dating Jonathan Taylor Thomas and he cheated on me, I would be mad, but I wouldn’t kill him. My vampire urges would make me WANT to, obviously, but that’s illegal, so nope.

  14. Girl, you can’t stop the J-T-Train.

  15. You’re once, twice, three times a Bieber.

  16. “If I was dating Ari Westby and she started worshiping someone else, I would get mad, but I would never dump her. I would just make her take down the Justin Bieber posters on her walls.”

  17. to be fair, this kind of realism is pretty rare in children. i bet she turned out to be one hell of a data entry clerk.

  18. It Gets Betterâ„¢

    • It Gets Butterfaced*

      *remark made purely for comedic effect; should not be interpreted as author’s actual views on the present condition of former child actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas’s face

  19. stop with the other girl already!

  20. whoa I haven’t commented since November! ayyye! that’s what having an internship will do to ya. so glad videogum and gabe are on fb..

    • If you can get on fb you can probs just COME to videogum, right?

      • Walking back into videogum after being absent for even a week means walking into lots of inside jokes and other things I prob wouldn’t understand.. :( the videogum alerts I get in my newsfeed keeps me somewhat on top of what’s going on. But let’s face it, it’s all about the comments!

  21. It was my Sophie’s Choice

  22. So over the holidays I was digging through old things from high school and college and came upon a totes legit signed photo of the cast of Home Improvement that a friend gave me after she went on a trip to California. I gave it to Kateness and her house-mates to match their Designing Women cast photo, but I almost couldn’t do it, because I flashed back to my middle school years full of secret pining over JTT. I would go to my friend Stephanie’s house and stare at her wall of Teen Beat posters and feel confused. Then it occurred to me that I was looking at a picture of a 13 year old, and I am not 13 anymore. Gross.

    • When I was 8 or so, I wrote multiple letters to JTT, and I still have the signed picture he sent me. If I was at home right now, I would totes post a picture of it. WORK IS ALWAYS HINDERING ME AS A MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. STEP OFF, ARI WESTBY.

    Also, in the ten-ish posts I’ve contributed to Videogum over the last six months, two of them have been about JTT. Always Be JTT.

  24. ari, we can be 1994 friends so long as you stay away from:

  25. This Girl’s thought balloon: “It’s tool time.”

  26. Wow, I just totally went through this thread and upvoted every comment with a picture of JTT because of my prepubescent crush on him. But he was the first celebrity (or boy, really) I ever had a crush on, and that was when I was about seven. Bought every issue of Teen Beat and Tiger Beat and whatnot that featured him. Put up multiple posters of him on my bedroom walls. Was crushed when he cut his hair. The whole nine yards.

    • I made collages over my bed of cute boys from teen magazines…I was especially into the Moffats (they were a Canadian boy band, I guess?) and soap stars, which is weird because I didn’t watch soap operas. (Side note: I moved out of my parents’ house years ago but they’re just getting around to redecorating/turning my room into the guest room so they’ve finally got to spackle the hundreds of holes in the walls. I would feel guilty except for the fact that THEY’RE TURNING MY ROOM INTO THE GUEST ROOM. Thanks, Mom and Dad.)

  27. I have no witty retorts to this, because I was that girl.

    My mom recently found a notecard in a book she was reading. It had “Orlando Bloom <3's you" written on it a hundred times. My friend made it for me when we were 13. (In my defense: this was when Fellowship had just come out and I had yet to realize Orlando Bloom is terrible. Also, I was 13.)

  28. If I were dating Jonathan Taylor Thomas and he cheated on me, I would be mad, but I would never dump him. I would just make him stop with the other girl by offering him the finest of Wisconsin cheeses.

  29. This thread is Dylan Baker Approved!

  30. I had the biggest crush on JTT too, you guys! He was all into nature and had long hair and was sensitive and vegetarian! I had a wall devoted just to him and the other wall had lots of posters of No Doubt and other male celebrities who had long hair!

    …there were so many clues that I liked girls when I was little…why did no one tell me!

  31. His favorite sport was Roller-Hockey! Who else ran out and tried to get the neighbor kids to play roller hockey with them after finding out that fact?

    ….just me? Well, thats embarassing.

  32. And what if he doesn’t agree with you…!!!
