This page is a member of the Uncyclopedia Timeline. If an event isn't listed in the timeline, it most likely happened.

Represented here are the time periods from 1950 to 1959.


Tampons were invented in the 1950s
Pogo sticks became the main method of transportation, as seen here in a typical American family seeing their father off for work.

The 1950s is the cultural period in time between 1953 and 1963. It was an era of cultural homogeneity, malt shops, sock hops, peace around the world, nuclear families, and a vast increase in pipe-smoking mid-Atlantic '50s dads. Prominent people of the time were Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, James Dean, Charlton Heston, and Richard Simmons.

People were unconcerned with politics in this era, and there was no President of the USA during the 1950s. You just have some golf player named Ike. In Europe people were still celebrating the post war era and there was a feeling of freedom and prosperity even amongst homeless people and idiots. In particular, teenagers living above subsistence level had generally not realized that they could be irritating to all other age groups without making much effort. Meanwhile, adults believed that the commercialization of broadcast media would actually broaden the choice available to viewers and listeners. Children, locomotives and aeroplanes still made interesting noises in the 1950's, such that they could be distinguished from one another by their sound and were worth listening.

Family Values[edit | edit source]

After the warfare, lust, and productivity of the late 1940s came the fruitfulness of the 1950s. This proverbial booming of babies led to the most powerful relapse into conservative values since Napoleon Bonaparte outlawed fornication in post-revolutionary France. Historians are still trying to discover the catalyst of this spontaneous conservatism, the prevalent theory being that people had so much sex in the previous decade that they simply got, for lack of a better word, bored.
