>implying there's ever been cartoons on VHS

>>34550287
VHS? you mean betamax? VHS didn't have tape.

>>34550354
... Yes it did?

>implying I don't remember what it was like to have betamax

I still have one.

shit this really takes me back. remember when batman TAS and spongebob were still airing? fucking awesome days long gone.

I still have two.
SO I COULD COPY STUFF!

Popping down the Betamax tape was fun too. But the VHS was admittedly more satisfying.

Owning a VHS nowadays is sort of like owning an LP. Makes me feel old

Get off of 4chan, kid.

>But the VHS was admittedly more satisfying.

Until those sickening moments when you realize the damn machine has just eaten your favorite tape.

>>34550407

I tossed mine when my Jumanji tape grew mold.
Fucking humidity. I love digital video.

But I do know that feel.

I poop on you kid, I have two VHS players.

>>34550437
It's still work if you would have just cleaned it out...

>you'll never know the joy of having a racecar rewind your tapes

>>34550354
...VHS stands for Video Home System, it refers to these cassette tapes. They were made specifically to go into VCRs.

Just curious, when were you born?

>>34550287
Sure is underage in here.

I still haven't gotten rid of most of my VHS collection.

I love my old VHS. It had been my dad's. It was made in the late 70s, and is like 90% console. The deck itself is in the center of the top and pops up, but it's positively tiny compared to the rest of it. I've dropped that thing down countless flights of stairs and it still works fine.

>>34550455
>You'll never know the joy of having the VSR itself rewind that shit faster.

So much underaged b&

I still have three VHS players.

Of course I know that feel I didn't even have a DVD player until I was like 13

Though one thing I will never know is how it feels to push a cartridge into the original NES. The one where you have to put it in sideways and push down or something

I still own a VCR though.....As well as many VCR tapes with recorded cartoons and movies.

>>34550373
VHS didn't have tape. VHS was black boxes

That a fact?

>>34550505

>>34550486

NES was a lot like pushing in a betamax tape, actually.

are

are you kids like five

jesus christ

If you are young enough to make a thread complaining that you are too young to ever hope to experience using a VCR, you need to get the fuck off of 4chan and get back to elementary school before Mrs. Tuwilliger writes you up for skipping.

>>34550505
the fuck language is that?

also why do you have a jar of eggs in your room?

>>34550525

>>34550464
wow.... I've had at one point 4 copies of the first tmnt movie on VHS, had recording of me and my bro playing Double Dragon 3 until eating it on the final boss, hell we even had an HBO or skinamax recording of Frankenhooker but I never really asked or looked into what VHS stood for

>>34550502
With a magnetic tape inside...

I think I'm starting to understand why I hate /co/ so much more than I used to. It's filled with teenage punks who never worked for anything they have. You faggots don't deserve to know the joys of pushing a tape into a VCR. Enjoy your Obama's Republic of Hitlerstan. You brought it on yourselves.

>>34550505
IS that a specimen jar behind you?

>>34550535
It's a "thing in a jar" that I made about a year or so back when I had some extra super sculpy laying around.

http://www.traipse.com/thing_in_a_jar/

We had a top loader Betamax, niggo. Shit was huge, that thing barely fit in the table we put it on.

The reading heads became dirty easily, and since dad had to leave for weeks due his job, I learned to open the thing, take a cloth an alcohol, and clean it like a pro. It was piss easy actually.

>>34550475
God yes. Those old decks are retarded resilient. Whereas if I so much as look at my cheap ass DVD player it threatens suicide.

>>34550574
> Sony Beta
> Sony Trinitron TV
> Dat feel when the name Sony actually meant something.

>>34550574
jesus fuck that thing looks so dated. massive switches and everything. it's like you're controlling industrial machinery.

I still have an Omnivision DynAmorphous METAL HEAD 4 VHS player in my room right now under my blu ray.

VHS aren't totally obsolete and useless. In fact, they're still being used for other purposes like my work.

>still have a couple of VHS players
>still have a decent VHS collection
>still have Transformers: The Movie on VHS

My jimmies are unrustlable.

>2012
>not having an old Pokemon VHS tape

Srsly? Fucking kids.

>>34550538
>skinamax

>>34550486
What the fuck?

Goddamn it, how young are you kids? I'm visibly upset right now.

I still don't own a dvd/blu ray player. VHS fo lyfe

I've got lots of stuff on VHS.
WWF events, Cult movies, Old cartoons and music videos.
I'm 25

>Record a shit ton of cartoons
>Trade tapes with friends without cable to watch later

Feels good man.

>Watch movies on vhs
>When the movie ends, let it rewind while you get snacks
>come back and everything's ready for movie #2.

>>34550574
Is that an electric stove hooked up to a microwave oven?

>>34550738
>not having a VHS rewinder

Pretty neat device if you can ever find one. I suggest looking at Goodwills.

>>34550287

>tfw I still have a working VHS/DVD combo tv

>>34550714
Haha, I did the same thing. I also inherited my dad's own porno tape collection.
Can't believe there are underagedfags like OP now. I refuse to believe I'm old, I'm still in my 20s and I even used my VHS player yesterday to watch my old darkwing duck tape.

>>34550791
>Sharing porn with your dad
You have the coolest dad ever!

This thread makes me think of MST3K's policy of "keep circulating the tapes". Makes me sad that it's no longer relevant.

FUCK VHS

FUCK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF VHS

GOD VHS WERE SO AWFUL I HATE YOU SO MUCH

>>34550791
how can op not have one seriously they still fucking sell them at walmart.

>>34550885
