This was fun. Not only did I know the references, I remember when some of them came out and were the new-fangled invention. (I just turned 57) VCRs were new when I was in high school; Sega was the new thing that little kids were playing with. I remember when the first video store opened in town in the 80s; people said it was a stupid idea and would never take off. (A lot of people didn't have a VCR, so you could rent a VCR at the same time you rented your movie.) Of course, video stores didn't die out (then). The were huge! Every neighborhood had 3 or 4 of them. We had to pay 50 cents if we didn't rewind, and that was a big deal. To lighten the stress on your VCR you could buy a VHS rewinder at Kmart for $20. (Equal to about $50-55 now). That sounds like a lot but the VCR itself cost $500-700 (2023: $1364-1910) so you didn't want to burn out the motor. All you had to do was use it 40 times and it paid for itself! You could actually make a collect call on any phone. I remember calling home collect from my college dorm room. I also had a chart taped to the wall by the phone (yes, you had to walk to a specific spot to use the phone). The chart outlined when the long-distance rates went down. Usually 9pm M-F and 5 or 7pm on the weekend. One phone company made a huge stir by changing the time to 5pm 7 days a week. The government had just split up Ma Bell (there's another one for your quiz) and so you either used AT&T or MCI for long distance. Us money-savvy types signed up for MCI. Push-button phones had just come out and you had to pay more every month if you had push-button phones instead of rotary. Not only did I have MCI, I saved money by getting a rotary phone for the dorm room. Super smart. Oh, you also had to pay extra if you had a second phone on the same line, and the evil phone company could tell if you connected a phone to a second outlet. My oh my. If anyone read all of this, good for you. But I got a kick out of writing it and reminiscing.
funny how everyone knows what netflix is but no one remembers they started as a service that delivers movies in red envelops. And that wasnt even that long ago.
I'm only 25 but this made feel old. Growing up with dial-internet, whenever my parents made a call we would switch over to playing "3D Pinball Space Cadet" or going on "Microsoft Paint" and mess around.
I’ve wondered what the younger generation would think of these things we grew up with… No one knows the pain of someone picking up the phone while trying to download a file while on AOL
Such a cute family 😁 Shoutout to your brother, I'm a huge Sonic the hedgehog fan too! And I'm not that old, but after watching this video, I felt kinda old because i knew so many words and phrases haha! 😂
"Be Kind Rewind". VHS tapes gave you sequential, linear access to a feature film. Rewind the tape or deal with a one dollar penalty fee!!! DVD and Blu Players give you random access to a film.
I'm not even 30 yet and I knew most of them (I'm not even a native english speaker). This makes me feel so old, I remember those Sony Ericsson walkman phones being the coolest thing back in the days 😂
It's sad when one's a 80s-90s kid, but shut off for fifteen years due to porn and severe depression, and now work minimum wage among stupid people or see Shorts made by gen Z.
This was fun.

Yeah I remember looking for my old VCR to show my son. He said "dad what's a VCR"? I busted out laughing.

Lia - Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Be Kind Rewind". Rent a VHS tape from Blockbuster Video. Rewind it and bring it back.
"Feel Old Yet" 🤷♂️😂
The tech sucks but life as a whole was so much simpler.
I always watch your mini videos
I’m not sure the age difference but I’m 31 and I know all of them. 😂

90's kids on deck

Cute 🌹 🇵🇭
25 and I knew all of them lol. I never could have imagined meeting someone who didn't at least know what a VCR was, until I saw this video
"Collect call". The person that you call gets the bill.
God I'm getting old. I understood all of those references lol
Videotape rental guys always pissed with us coz we udon't have a tape rewinder. Very nostalgic. 😁
Red Alert, Star Craft and Counter Strike were great games...
Lol 'we got red envelopes' in reference to new years money.
Sound effects by Hanna-Barbera, James Buster Douglas and a bag of sardines hitting a barn.
"SEGA" is short for "Service Games". They made everything from slot machines to video games.
The girls look like their dad and their brother looks like their mom.
In this video, Lia reminds me Joey of Friends.

The DVD Player didn't hit the North American market until 1997. Betamax and VHS VCR's competed around 1975. RCA lost a fortune on the CED Player.
