Top loading VHS units.
I remember when my parents had a Ferguson Videostar, with the wired remote control.
If you try to sneak a peek at a video after they’ve gone to bed (I managed to find my Dads stash of, hrum, hrum, educational videos), you’re gonna get found out.
As soon as you hit the fast forward or rewind button, the player sounds like a car starting a wheelspin. 😯
If it doesn’t work, jam a screwdriver in there and jiggle it about.

That was superbly good stuff.Yeah, that was cool, I don’t know if any of the younger dudes and chicks would get all the 80s references but I totally dig it when there’s some retro talk on the show. The old VHS discussion fits in too, apart from Star Wars, Young Guns and Top Gun the tape me and my bros thrashed the most was Romancing The Stone. For a couple of hours there Michael Douglas was cool, the bit where he blows the crap out of the bus with the shotgun … fuckin awesome. And Kathleen Turner in that film was totally smokin hot, she was the original milf.

Yeah, I’m only 23, so really I grew up in the ninties, but I retain a shitload of references and to this day, it pisses me off when I throw a good one out from before ’92 and get blank stares from my peers. But yeah, I remember while listening to the show I had a bunch of good stuff pop up.
Faaark dude, so you had older bros or sis that exposed you to all that 80s bollox? Either that or you’ve been kinder to your brain cells than me, I can’t remember jack shit from before I was 7 or 8. Except what I’ve seen on old home vids at least. Me singing Rod Stewart’s We Are Sailing as a four year old … cute as all hell let me assure you. I wish it was Do You Think I’m Sexy.
Anyway, I like this guy Bing, he better call again some time. I like when he made the comment about how when he says random shit in public now it reminds him of Jerry, I get the same thing. Not so much, “what would Jerry do in this situation?” because that’s impossible to know and I’m not that funny, but more like it reminds me of one of the things about the show I relate to, having fun messing with strangers.
I never got run down by any cars on my bike but once I came off in one of those bike-stops-rider-doesn’t-stop situations. I was about 10 and I smacked my balls on the gooseneck. They swelled up twice the size for a week and couldn’t walk properly for a month. Even typing this brings tears to my eyes.
The more serious stuff about TV and morals was cool too.
