Buzz’s Stuff in ‘Home Alone’, Ranked
Assorted Flavors features listicles and other movie-related goodies.
By Kevin Prchal
Buzz, we’re ranking all your stuff! You better come out and read this post!
10. Isiah Thomas poster
If you grew up in Chicago in the 1990s and were a Chicago Bulls fan (as Buzz was), having a poster of Isiah Thomas in your room is straight-up grounds for arrest.
9. Firecrackers
While they proved to be useful in fending off the Wet Bandits, I can’t imagine anyone who meets Buzz would think “You know what that kid needs? Firecrackers.”
8. Lewd magazines
Predictable. But hey, ‘90s big brothers gonna ‘90s big brother.
7. Inflatable shark
Sure, why not.
6. Ice-T poster
Strong personal branding points for Buzz. Of course the kid who has firecrackers and a tarantula looks up to the guy whose breakout hit was called “Reckless.”
5. Starting Lineup figurines
While they ultimately met their demise as Kevin’s target practice, Buzz’s impressive collection of Starting Lineup gems—including Larry Bird, Joe Montana, Babe Ruth, and more—are sure to make any ‘90s kid light up with nostalgia.
4. BB gun
Is there anything scarier than a kid named Buzz with a BB gun? (My guess is Marv would say “A kid named Kevin with a BB gun.”) Not an ideal item for a kid’s bedroom, but hey, bonus points for coming in good use.
3. Axl, Buzz’s tarantula
A BB gun, firecrackers, and a pet tarantula named Axl? This settles it: Buzz is a threat to our national security.
2. Photo of Buzz’s girlfriend
Amidst Buzz’s arsenal of BB guns and lewd magazines, having a framed picture of his girlfriend (Woofs aside) shows great signs of tenderness and maturity.
1. Michael Jordan cardboard cutout
Whether rockin’ around the Christmas tree or just standing proud in its iconography, this Michael Jordan cardboard cutout is the holy grail of ‘90s bedroom stuff.
