Nostalgia that'll make you feel ... weird
Tell Us Now: 20 Strange Childhood Crushes

Sorry to get weird on main, but here at Cracked we simply had to know how everyone got so strange. We gave Cracked readers on Facebook a chance to let their freak flag fly by asking, “Who was your strangest childhood crush?” And you guys really, really liked cartoon animals. And we don't blame you – animators of the 80s and 90s loved to make children sexually confused. Here are 20 answers that might give you weird nostalgic feelings.

TELL US NOW. BUMBLE RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER Wendy B. shares, I would get excited every year for the holidays. That meant Rudolph was going to be on TV.

TELL US NOW. ROXANNE A GOOFY MOVIE Aaron H. says, She was sweet, caring and let's be honest... a bit goofy too. She was the perfect grounding for day-dreaming Max (and anyone else). CRACKED.COM

TELL US NOW. DUCKY LAND BEFORE TIME Matt W. says, Her plucky attitude and how sweetly she treated Spike as a brother always spoke to me.

TELL US NOW. DONATELLO TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES H.B.R. says, Okay, it's because he's smart and he's clever. He can figure anything out if given a few moments, can fix /build anything.
