I donβt remember that. How would they know if you didnβt rewind it?
Discussion
You look at the tape.
I worked part time at Blockbuster and remember checking each tape in and rewinding some and they had a fee of some kind at one point to encourage people to rewind the film.
I wish I could go back
Take this.

Wtf is this supposed to accomplish? π
Rewind the tape. Good for movie nights, you can start the next movie while the one you just watched is rewinding. I remember when every house had one of these π
Exactly right Fren and those VHS tape rewinders were pretty loud if my memory serves me correctly.
The VHS was pretty loud while rewinding haha
I've never seen that before and I used to record my own shows and movies on black cassettes haha
My brother and I watched Beverly Hills cop on vhs so many times we had to frequently open the tape cassette up and repair the tape to the spool
What a great film and I would do the same thing to keep watching it with my brother.
Banana in the tailpipe scene is one of the funniest scenes in the history of scenes.
I remember in school some kid put an apple in the PE teacher's exhaust pipe of his car. He was fucking pissed. He gave everyone a lecture about safety and how he could have died with his family in the car. He took up the whole hour and no one in the class even knew who did it. Not a single calorie was burned that dayπ
This is such a massive victory. I hope he got all the girlfriends.
I wish I knew who it was. What could even go wrong with an apple in an exhaust pipe? I feel like the apple would just pop out eventually haha
Itβs low pressure so it chokes before it can blow the load.
And that means the car powers off?
Ya the engine stalls and shuts off
The engine stalls out and it shuts off
What a pussy. I knew he was full of shit saying all that.
So many public school teachers are full of shit and lie for power. In my school we had one of those PE teachers that was texting with girl students and got run out of town. All PE teachers are sus until proven otherwise.
That's terrible. I can't imagine putting my kid in government schools.
This made me think about the π π π in the tailpipe that Axl Foley put in to stop the Beverly Hills PD from following him and if you watch who he gets those from inside the hotel itβs one of the Wayans brothers.
My little brother wore out The Lion King & Jurassic Park π
Good times
This commercial really takes you back and brings out the feels π

Definitely. And itβs wild how these commercials hit differently once you have a kid.
I don't have kids but everyone around me does and it really does make you feel that

Those were high tech the combined TV/VHS player in their time!
Iβm so glad I had a kid. Itβs a huge massive pain in the ass but itβs not an experience you can simulate in any meaningful way.
Remember this?
Yes.
Also that's hilarious for a YouTube video. *Content* π
And this was the better technique π
What a time to be alive
Definitely I remember doing that Fren π
Holy shit I was too young to even consider that rewinding these tapes kills your battery π€£
When you rented a movie and someone didnβt rewind it. Bad form π€£
I remember when the tape machines with auto rewind when you finished watching came out
#nostalgia
My age is definitely showing because I didn't know auto rewind was a newer feature. All my VHS players would auto rewind at the end of the movie. I guess I had it good for a millennial π
We have an age difference but not that much I think. I remember seeing the ads in the RadioShack flyer. It was amazing, you just had to wait a bit after watching the movie and it was ready to bring back to blockbuster
Correct Fren π
I don't remember that. I always thought the VHS tape rewinds decently fast. Were they slower at some point before?
I donβt think the speed increased necessarily. But the one we had before didnβt rewind when you finished watching. You had to remember to do it. The newer ones just did it automatically after the watch
