Stuff You've Found on Old VHS Tapes

[Malcolm]

Have you ever put in an old VHS tape and said to yourself "Hey, I remember recording this!" or "Hey! I remember this!" and then take a quick trip down memory lane?

I've found:

Old cartoons I recorded as a kid such as Ed Edd n Eddy, Spongebob, Goof Troop, Dave the Barbarian and other stuff on my grandma's VCR because we didn't have cable

Gameplay of Day of Reckoning, Wrestlemania XIX and the first Smackdown vs Raw

Episodes of South Park

Sesame Street

An episode of Smackdown

Some old commercials...

A bunch of syndicated sitcoms. My little sister seemed to love recording these as a kid...

What have you found on old/random VHS tapes?

Does "old school comedy central stuff (from around 95-96)" include this perennial favorite from the period?



Show your stomach, it's no disgrace.

The original Star Wars Trilogy

The final episodes of G1 Transformers

The Iron Giant

A two hour recording of TCC (that's The Children's Channel for anyone outside the UK or Ireland)

[g1megatronfan]

Mostly old horror movies. I found a tape with the slasher movie called Party Line on it a while back. It was taped as a part of USA's Up all Night with Gilbert Gotfried or whatever his name as the host.

We're talking early 90's...

[Deleted]

WrestleCrap galore on a few Raws (and SmackDowns) from 2002. Including THAT Jackie Gayda match. THAT Kevin Nash match.

As far as my wife's collection (of which she has many), besides movies, she has the 49ers-Chargers Super Bowl and a couple of days worth of the OJ Simpson trial.

[King Ghidorah]

Lots and lots of WCW Nitro tapes, 2 years worth I believe, but who the hell owns a VCR.

[Deleted]

I do, but it's been eating more tapes than playing lately.

I lost my Raw & SmackDown with the Eddie Guerrero tribute recently.

I've got a VHS where my aunt recorded cartoons for me when I was very young. I watched it for the first time in decades not long ago. The tape was from 1989 and featured episodes of TMNT, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, some weird Double Dare-esque gameshow, a ton of old commercials and some nature show.

[Push R Truth]

I found a hilarious old porn in my uncles tapes called "The Drippy D#*@ Saloon"


Friggin funny as all heck. Gives new meaning to the phrase "AY chihuahua!" which I swear the outlaw says every 5 seconds as he does his thing.

Then there was this cartoon porn of I think Hansel and Gretel where the witch ate people with her poontang. Also there was some loony toons ripoff with a horny cat that would chase chicks around and a mouse that would drop anvils/dynamite/branding iron on his red rocket.

[chazraps]

My Best Finds:

The Weinerville Chaunkah Special

The 1999 MTV Movie Awards

Celebrity Boxing

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Super Bowl XXXIV
Episodes of Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)
Various music video blocks (MTV Spring Break, 12 Angry Viewers, AMP)
Red Dwarf
Old Cardinal games
Tiny Toons Adventures
Garfield & Friends (early 90's commercials included)
The original V miniseries
Wrestlemania XIV
Some Simpsons episodes
The Legends of Treasure Island (UK cartoon, it aired briefly here in the US on Starz)
Early Buffy episodes
DBZ (Funimation dub)
A couple of Raws/Nitros where I switched back and forth while taping
The Producers (1968)
1996 Olympic highlights

And that's just scratching the surface, I think.

[Mr. Medium Shot]

Episodes of WWE Confidential from 2002

A WWF Divas special from UPN in 2001

Random late night local TV from 2002-03

South Park and Mad TV from Comedy Central in 2004

Early 2000s Price is Right prime time specials

The episode of America's Most Wanted featuring The Messiah, and the one where Kane and the Undertaker tried to help track down a criminal

One of the last Dick Clark Bloopers and Practical Jokes specials from 2003

Some mid-late 1990s prime time TV my parents recorded, dating back to at least 1994

There's much more where those came from, if only I could remember all of it.

[FinalGwen]

Once found a tape with Maid Marian And Her Merry Men as well as The Demon Headmaster. Two of the best kids' shows ever to come out of the BBC. I was happy that day.

Also once surprised myself when I found a tape with an advert for the BBC's drama about the life of Stephen Hawking, and realised that it was an early role of Benedict Cumberbatch.

If it's from 1989, then that game show of yours is Fun House. I'm willing to make a deal on some of those game shows. If you find more please let me know.

nothing, since all my old VHS tapes were thrown away
