But NOT Paul Rudd. Sure, he was in Clueless, but I don’t remember anyone mooning over him. However, I do remember people talking about how Cher ending up with her stepbrother was a little weird. Of course, Paul would go on to sell his soul to the devil for eternal youth sometime in the late ’90s, and we’d all fall in love with him shortly thereafter.

OK, ’90s teens, let me hear it! Agree? Disagree? Who did I forget?
