Have you ever wondered what the dating scene was like for queer people before the advent of hookup and dating apps like Grinder or Her? Well, LGBT comedy troupe Enemies of Dorothy are here to take us back to a time before a lay was only a click and a swipe away! 

In their latest sketch, entitled simply "Queer Video Date," the crew shows us a service that let users looking to find that special someone create short video profiles of themselves for potential lovers to watch. 

Complete with pastel colors, denim jackets, and tons of teased hair, this entire sketch is filled with '80s nostalgia galore! 

Watch "Queer Video Date" in the video below. And for more on Enemies of Dorothy, make sure to subscribe to their YouTube channel
