my older brother got busted calling the nightmare on elm street number. i’m not sure what it did other than freddy krueger would tell you scary stories and really lame jokes. it was over $1000 in two months he ran it up before they disconnected our landline. anytime after that for years if we tried to watch a nightmare on elm street movie our old man would cuss him out and threaten to get the belt. ahhh good times good times 😭😭

[@odonnchadha1978]

🤣 sounds exactly like my brother, obsessed with Kruger at that time but his 900 number fiasco was the Nintendo hot line where they gave out stupid tips and messages

[@jaydead863]

@@odonnchadha1978 lmaooooo i remember the game pro hotline. i wanted to call so bad to figure out how to beat ninja gaiden but there was no way in hell i was gonna call after seeing my dad beat my brothers ass over that freddy number. 😂💀

[@joeyvanostrand3655]

​@@jaydead863 "Game Counselors". 😄 It was the same as any overseas call center but the employee on the other end of the line was trained to drag their feet and and stay on the line while you progress through the game, aided by the "Counselor" reading a flow chart and written walkthrough of the certain game and level you were calling about. My friend Matt and myself being 8 or 9 at the time would go over to each other's houses on alternative days to play Nintendo and Sega Master System (I was the ONLY one that had one! Ha!) and subsequently Genesis. My parents were always cool about getting me game systems and new games every so often. What they were not tolerating was calling a 900 number for tips. My Stepdad worked for GTE Telephone company at the time and gave a pretty accurate description of what went on at the call centers. He was also pretty sure Matt was mistaken that the 900 number was free to him because he subscribed to Nintendo Power and the number was on the back. Matt's parents confirmed that suspicion about a month or so in. I think he might still be mowing his parents yard to pay that shit off! Haha!

[@odonnchadha1978]

@jaydeadØØ 🤣🤣 hell no I wouldn't either! I think my brother was calling the nes hot line for tyson punch out codes and an obsession with figuring out how to jump out of the water at the end of smb world 2-2 and finding the mermaid or whatever it was

Obviously a pampered kid wrote this. He definitely isn't from the hood. If I added 3 cents to the bill calling the suicide hotline my mom would have beat my azz for running up the bill "PLAYING ON HER PHONE " and I can't think of anyone I grew up with that wouldn't have gotten the same.

In September of 1988, and I shit you not, I took an absolute goddamn BEATing over the 50 cents I charged the phone bill while calling the DC Comics Hotline to vote to save Robin from being beaten to death by Joker with a crowbar. The readers would vote Robin dead by 72 votes. My kid self regrets nothing. My adult self would have beaten me more.

[@borrisg4972]

I was born in a middle time period. We had the 900 numbers that we'd get in trouble over, AND we had Colombia House with their "25 cds for 1 cent" trickery. I got in trouble for calling 1-900-BIG-TITS and also for ordering a hundred dollars worth of CDs under the guise they were a penny each.

[@Mr.Goodkat]

Your "kid self" is right to regret nothing and your "adult self" needs cured of being a misopedist and instead of wishing an even worse beating on himself practise some more self love and compassion, also domestic violence is wrong.

It's amazing that these 900/976 number lines were an entire industry for what, like 15-20 years?

I just about never have any complaint whatsoever when it comes to TACS but in this case, if you’re going to play/show a video, don’t talk over the entire thing. If you’re going to do that, just talk about the clip itself and don’t bother showing it. And in case you’re wondering I’m talking about the clip(s) that take place in and around the 15:00+ minute mark.
