Do you still use VHS?

😂 Please scan that in and post it. I gotta see it.

I wish I still had a VCR, the nostalgia value alone with being able to play VHS tapes would be legendary.

You can find it all over the internetwebers:

A more detailed look:

Rumor is the artist was going to be fired, so he had one final laugh before he left. Disney claims that it was unintentional and the spire just happens to look like a penis/dildo. They quickly altered the pic in later prints.

😂 😂

That's awesome. I think i even see a big throbbing vein on it, too. 😂

Suck it, Disney. Suck it.

🙁 crybaby

Dunno, still can't see VHS making a come back like vinyl records did with music.

Have to admit, I kind of want to buy a vintage top-loader VHS player. Not to play/watch cassettes, just always liked the way those looked, The very late 70's/early 80's ones.

I still use VHS's and cassette tapes, yes.

They'll never make a comeback because unlike digital media they're prone to mechanical wear every time you playback, re-record, etc.

The last one I physically put into the VHS; let's see.....

I think it was The Rugrats Movie, but that was over 5 years ago. Of course I don't use VHS regularly, or watch movies regularly for that matter.

Oh dare someone ban Kurk! Inconceivable!

No, not like I am gonna get new films on it

Re: Do you still use VHS?

Nope.

Those were the glory days, though.

I still have one/used it just last week for the first time since I retired in 2013 to watch Disney’s HERCULES of all things.

On a side note, Ursula looks like she’s ready to abuse the golden compass...

No. VHS was awful. Good riddance. The snapping and cracking of the sound and having to fix the tracking with the picture. It was terrible. It wasn't charming snaps and pops like you get with vinyl records. At least vinyl has awesome sound quality on good speakers.

I'll never forget when my brother and (future) sister-in-law (at the time) had The Matrix and Twister on DVD and I was blown away by the clarity. Ha... and now we have Blu-ray and 4k Bluray.

Cleaning out the upstairs closet and found a box of old 90s TV shows on VHS I forgot I made...

Seaquest DSV and Earth2 Imma watch this weekend...

Farscape, Babylon 5, Space:Above and Beyond... man I missed these shows.

Wow you recorded them on analogue cable??

Excellent!!

Sounds like you just had a crappy VCR/movies. 🤨
My VCR and movies are ancient and I dont have those issues.

Yeah, terrible reception, wavy lines, lots of static... the whole enchilada!

I still have my Totoro and Little Nemo Adventure in Slumberland VHS tape. Good memories.. Too nostalgic I couldn't throw it away.
