You guys remember tapes?

You guys remember tapes?

What sort of stuff did you record onto yours?

Saturday morning cartoons

I remember having Titanic and Grease on non store-bought VHS.

I used to record a lot of videos on mtv.

Cathouse and Real Sex 101

My Uncle has a hole box of tapes he made of me when I was a kid.

Buffy the vampire slayer and movies off HBO.

Dragonball Z and some Bone Thugs music videos

When I was small, dad would record stuff off TV for me to re-watch. Short Circuit, Dark Crystal, various Disney stuff.

As a teenager, I recorded E! Wild on!, Victoria's Secret shows, and other stuff to masturbate to. I also made a point of taping Family Guys because I understood even then that this show's schedule was getting bounced around because they were trying to kill it, and I refused to let the memes die. Shortly thereafter DVD made a fool of me, but I really was concerned at the time that I'd lose these shows and not see them again for years. You have to understand that this was also before youtube etc, I just plain didn't know for sure that information capture would get so, so good over the next decade.

Temple of Doom and Raiders and the only ones I remember having.

porno

Simpsons and music videos

...

Late Night Public Access sometimes had tits

Simpsons episodes and music videos

What happens if we take off the duct tape?

His work was derivative and the lighting was terrible.

I remember this it was usually on telemundo or someshit

Some simpsons and Dragon Ball Z episodes

Would she die?

The French channel used to play softcore late at night on weekends.

If you were technically gifted you you could set VCRs to record at a certain time just like a DVR and record shows that were on when you were not home.

you guys remember renting VHS tapes from the library?
and when getting a library card was a big deal for little kids.
and look at us now...

Fuck

I 'member when convenient stores had rentals

It would be extremely painful

>"user you left the tape in the VCR again, I took it out after I dropped you off at school"

My library never had vhs tapes because niggers would replace them with blank tapes or not return them at all Hell even the comics where held behind a display case with 3 locks

she's a big gal

My mom was a big star trek freak and she recoreded a bunch of original series episodes off of TV, also we had the first 4 movies on VHS. I watched Star Trek II every time I had a sick day. I've probably seen in 50 times. I didn't realize until years later that the soundtrack by James Horner was the reason I like it so much.

My uncle gave me a bunch of old tapes with the Simpsons and Ren n Stimpy. Simpsons seasons 1-3 I believe. As a very young child this was bad ass.

Pokemon, Crash from HBO, and some other Nickelodeon cartoons I guess. As a kid, I would go on family long roadtrips in my parent's mini van. Inside there was small crt television plugged in, along with a vhs player.

>NOO! I wanna live with Dad instead.

I remember recording brave little toaster on tape
I also remember recording Rugrats, but parents muted the TV so it actually muted in the tape

I got a Talkboy from a garage sale and recorded a bunch of weird talk shows where i played characters. I was 10 and for some reason My main talk show host was an old black man then a french guy took over his show. I just rambled for a long time in different voices.

I was a fucking weird kid, but then other people my age started doing it.

I remember filming an entire marathon of Pee Wee's Playhouse.

I used them to record movies. Where I learned how to use the timer, I recorded things that aired while I was out or sleeping. I recorded late night softcore porn too

On the subject of fetish shit, going by the OP, I used to record lots of cartoons and such when I was a kid.

I still have the Totally Spies VHS tapes somewhere.

My mom recorded a shitload of stuff onto a bunch of tapes when I was a kid, but none of them were labeled and nothing on them was in any particular order. Sometimes I'd be watching one of the Ninja Turtles movies or an episode of The Simpsons and suddenly an episode of Tales from the Crypt would come on and give me a spook.

When I was around 7 years old I made an audio recording on a karaoke machine where I spoke a list of positive affirmations about myself in order to boost my confidence (seriously) so I could muster up the courage to make friends at school as I was always alone.

I had an abusive step-Father who insisted on mentally bullying me as a child. He crushed any sense of self-worth I had about myself, and I had no coping mechanism of how to deal with it. I listened to the tape before going to sleep because I wanted to stop wetting the bed, and thought that I wouldn't do so if I heard good things about myself.

I know that's not the kind of tape you were talking about, I thought I'd just mention how unbearably sad that memory is to me.

...

I taped over most of my cartoons with porn, now I'd rather have those old cartoons...

...

My dad had 2 videos set up, he'd hire a video from the video store, copy it, then take it back. I literally had 5 black bags full of movies.

and this isn't even the worst of the things that happen around the world
there is no god

I still use tapes.

>no balls
>see the dong
Nice.

My mom has every single TNG episode that she recorded when they first aired on VHS. She has never even rewatched them.

kek well played

...

I had a recording of the episodes of Romper Room I appeared on when I was five but my dad threw them out when we moved (he denies it). Sad because the tv station didn't keep an archive. It still hurts, probably because I have the collector gene. Gone forever.

dat predator vhs

As many Itchy & Scratchy episodes as I could and a scene of Carmen Electra worksafe stripping to Leave Your Hat On by Joe Cocker.

I hope you feel better guy, that sounds like a bummer

This is the first time reading something on this site has made me legitimately sad. Nice, evil trips, though.

...

Your step-dad did the right thing. Kill yourself faggot.

I'll be your new daddy.

>rollercoaster tycoon 2

Golden Age Simpsons

Even when I was 11 I knew how good it was.

Get out nigger

Sexcetera and wrestling

>all these old ass people here

Mostly cartoons. 90s Spider-Man especially. I think the last thing I recorded with VHS was the first night of Adult Swim.

>desu
Faggit

>board filled with a bunch of teenagers
Well, that explains the constant capeshit fight threads and the Star Wars prequel apologists.

at least we know that hollywood screen writers are stealing heavily from this board

someone will turn your experience into K I N O .. at least you have that going for you my dude ;_;

You're all right bro

Trips say your step dad was a loser projecting his own garbage

For you

>my dude

Why? Why? Why is this a thing? Why?

Stopping the recording when there where ads and the high pressure moment of resuming rec when they fineshed helped breed mantis like reflexes in me as a child

I had the Star Wars trilogy we recorded from HBO. I wish that tape was still alive because it was non-special edition.

Also had a bunch of Disney movies, recorded from the Disney channel because back then the Disney Channel actually did shit like play their movies.

When tasked to record something for my dad recently. I thought I did a good job, nope... Everything was in 15 minute blobs and I rarely caught the end.

I am a disgrace

I remember my friend would let me borrow their tape with Spirited Away, Beetlejuice, episodes of Home Movies, and random music videos. It was kind of fun because you didn't know what was going to play next

Quality bread Bros

My dad has 1000s of hours of vhs recorded of 90s to late 2000s. When I eventually inherit his junk, I'll be able to finally kick back and spiritually watch TV with him.

I taped all the cartoons after school one day from 3.30-5.30. I can still remember the cartoons; Pengu, Aladdin, Duck Tales, Gargoyles. And all the nostalgic ads.

Smh desu senpai

>Aladdin, Duck Tales
good taste

hope you managed to overcome that and the mental consequences it brings that kind of shit

Rented Empire Strikes Back the day it came out. Played it with giant camcorder, copied it with our top-loading VCR that was the size of a suitcase.

Pee pee and poo poo leak onto that sweet couch.

And look at you now, bro! Getting satanic trips n sheeit! That stepjerk is going to hell.

Movies (from HBO, Cinemax and PPV) and TV Shows (X-Files, TNG, DS9, Millennium).

...

I'd tape the treehouse of horror episodes of the simpsons.

This.

Hang in there, friend, my mom is a cunt who takes out her anger (and she is one angry bitch) on her children, we're all gonna make it.

Moot was right.

I'm sure I had more but the only one I can remember taping is the Rugrats All Growed Up special.

I remember when 9/11 happened I popped in a VHS tape to record it because I was worried the footage would be too graphic to air on TV again

I probably recorded all the CGI errors the jews made

...

...

The very last thing I ever recorded on a tape was as late as around 2007.

It was a Drake and Josh episode.

Think it was the one where they have to get a giant wedding cake to their old grandma's wedding ceremony or some shit.
