"What tomfoolery is this?" The precise order and/or dates indicated on this page were not officially confirmed by DC Studios. They are fan-inferred and can be inaccurate, biased, or incomplete.
This is a timeline of events which occurred in the 1990s.
Lily Mazursky gives birth. Preparing to declare the baby's sex, the doctor becomes hesitant. Mazursky asks to see her baby, but when Edward Mazursky sees it, he is horrified.[12][13]
Nina Mazursky is born with her lungs outside her body
The baby is brought to NICU, where the doctor explains that the baby was born with many irregularities, including the fact that her lung are outside of her body. The doctor turns to Edward and addresses him as a scientist, suggesting he can keep her live. Edward names the baby Nina Mazursky.[12][13]

20th[]
The commercial Wazzup? airs, featuring people saying the phrase "wazzup?" in over-the-top voices.[4][11]

↑In The Tourmaline Necklace, Rick Flag, Sr. says "I was stabbed in the Persian Gulf." United States presence in the Persian Gulf was most prominent during the 1990-1991 Gulf War, which occurred during the time between Flag's enlistment in the military and that of his son. It can therefore be approximated that Flag was stabbed at around the midpoint of the Persian Gulf War, November 14, 1990.
↑In The Tourmaline Necklace, a title card establishes Bride of Frankenstein's birth to have occurred in "1831." Following several other flashbacks, Bride runs away from Eric Frankenstein, and the next time they see each other is in "1852" as established by another title card. A montage is then shown of Frankenstein chasing Bride, with several title cards establishing the year in which these flashbacks are set. Finding a line of best fit and working backwards from 1852, it can be approximated that Bride ran away on December 36, 1838. During the second lesson, Bride of Frankenstein appears to still be early in her development, yet these flashbacks must stretch seven years, so in distributing the remaining flashbacks, efforts can be taken to ensure that this flashback is close to Bride's birth. This places the first flashback on May 18, 1933, Frankenstein trying to touch Bride on March 8, 1836, and Bride receiving the tourmaline necklace on August 2, 1837. The date on which each scene of the Chase of the Bride of Frankenstein is set, with exceptions explained in other references, can be approximated as the midpoint of the year they were placed in by their title card.

↑In Cheers to the Tin Man, Justin tells Sam Fitzgibbon, "Oh, it... it bounced around from lab to lab, from the '60s through the '90s. They studied it, and got what they could from it, I guess Uncle Sam just forgot it existed after a while. So, for the last 10 years or so, it's been in the hands of collectors like you," placing the events of G.I. Robot being purchased by Sam Fitzgibbon and killing the members of the Hub City National Socialists Club at some point in the 2000s. The massacre occurs in the winter as evidenced by the snow, placing it between approximately December 1 and March 15 of whichever year it occurred in, the midpoint of which is February 6. Working backwards from there, Fitzgibbon says on the day of the massacre, "It's been hell trying to get that rust outta your joints, you know," suggesting he has had G.I. Robot for some time. This can be approximated to one month, placing Fitzgibbon's purchase of G.I. Robot on January 6. A clock on the wall when Fitzgibbon buys G.I. Robot is at approximately 5:18, and another clock in Fitzgibbon's house when he first brings G.I. Robot home says approximately 4:20, suggesting that Fitzgibbon needed to bring G.I. Robot home on a separate day, which can be approximated to the next day, January 7. These events can be approximated to the midpoint of the 2000s, placing them in 2005. G.I. Robot getting abandoned by the government can therefore be calculated with a weighted calculation based on Justin saying it has been "10 years or so," placing it on February 13, 1990. G.I. Robot's trial would take a substantial amount of time given the severity of the crime, so we can approximate that the closing arguments and jury decision occurred one year following the massacre, placing it on February 6, 2006, with G.I. Robot being brought to Belle Reve Correctional Center the following day.
↑In The Tourmaline Necklace, several flashbacks are shown after one labeled "1991" which are disconnected from the rest. One of these flashbacks shows Eric Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein in the New York Stock Exchange Building, which placed in 2017 (see 2010s references). These disconnected flashbacks can therefore be distributed evenly between the 1991 flashback and the New York Stock Exchange flashback.
↑ 12.012.1Zoë Chao's age at the time of recording her dialogue for Creature CommandosSeason 1 would suggest that Nina Mazursky was born in December 1985. However, in the next flashback shown in A Very Funny Monster, in which Lily Mazursky leaves Edward Mazursky, the Mazursky family are shown to own a flat screen television, which was not invented until 1997 and was not affordable for American homes until 2005. The Mazursky family are shown to be very well off due to Edward's research, so it can be taken that this scene is set at some point in the middle of these dates to keep Nina's age close to Chao's, placing it on July 2, 2001. In that flashback, Lily says of Nina's respirator, "It weighs as much as she does." Edward says in a later flashback that a larger respirator she is using in that scene weighs thirty pounds, meaning Nina's respirator at the time Lily leaves, and consequently Nina herself, weighs less than thirty pounds. Babies are expected to weigh thirty pounds at approximately three years old, meaning Nina is younger than this. Nina is also walking in this flashback, meaning she is older than 18 months. Nina can be approximated to be at the midpoint of these two ages, making her 27 months old during this scene and placing her birth on April 2, 1999. By the time of Nina's experiment, she has grown up substantially and appears to be approximately five years old. Children are shown to be playing outside, suggesting it should be spring to allow the scene to be earlier given that the experiment was urgent as her new respirator was tiring her. She was born in the spring, so to avoid the scene being on her birthday, it can be taken that this flashback happened on April 9, 2004. In the next flashback, Nina is shown to be of an eligible age to enter a prep school, suggesting she is thirteen. This would place that scene between April 2, 2012 and April 1, 2013, the midpoint of which is October 1, 2012. However, this would place her as starting school during the school year. It can therefore be taken that this occurred the previous June, which can be approximated as June 7, 2012, some time into June when school would still be in session. Nina is then shown playing lacrosse. Lacrosse season in California goes from February-May, so it can be taken that this occurred on the closest Sunday to the midpoint of the 2013 season, March 17, 2013. Nina is captured "three years" after a scene in which a frog is placed in her locker. She appears the same as she does in the present, suggesting her aging has slowed as she grew and is now around eighteen years old. It's warm enough that fish are easy to find, suggesting it is spring or summer. This would place the events surrounding Nina's capture on July 25-26, 2017. Working backwards, that would place Nina running away and the frog scene in July 2014. However, this is over summer break, so it can be moved to the nearest school day, which can be approximated as June 6, 2014. The final flashback, of Nina being bullied into saying "ribbit," can be placed at the closest school day to the midpoint of the flashbacks it is between, the lacrosse scene and the frog scene, placing it on October 25, 2013.
