what Secrets does this VHS hold? | Mystery Tapes #7

[@karow.thomas]

This is the strangest thing in the world, but I am SURE that those were my tapes. I would have been about 11 in 1997 and I routinely recorded stuff like this on various tapes. Not only is that my handwriting, but I distinctly remember writing the capital A in "various" and always being bothered by it. Some years ago my mother donated all of our old cassettes. I am blown away by the odds of seeing this! Crazy!

[@diablo_guapo]

I had the exact same experience when I saw those tapes. Looks exactly like my handwriting, and I vividly recall the capital A. A very, very surreal experience. Maybe some sort of Mandela effect phenomenon? Or maybe there were a bunch of us obsessive VHS recorders with the same handwriting and capitalization errors. Hopefully Ian will review the vArious tape soon and give more clues. If I could just see a commercial or bumper with some sort of station identification, it would help set my mind to rest. If I can positively ID these as being from no place I ever lived, I'll know my brain was just playing tricks.

[@karow.thomas]

@@diablo_guapo You know, I was thinking the same thing. I don't know how many commercials might've been local on these cartoons. The ones Ian covered were always on nonstop, so I'm sure everyone in the country was brainwashed by them. Either way I got the experience of a sudden sharp memory activation when watching this. I really can't describe how strange it is to have a sudden unprompted activation of memories I didn't even know I still had, but it was definitely far more than I bargained for when casually watching a KZbin video after work. If you got the same then I'd say we both came out ahead on this!

I was a genuine Beetleborgs nut as a kid. Basically, Shadowborg stole their ability to borg (morphing in this series) but they still retained their non-transformed powers. So they get help from another kid, give him the ability to borg, he gets their powers back, etc. The blue guy is a magical phasm they accidentally freed from the pipe organ, and his name is Flabber. Really silly show but it was a lot of fun when you're not very old yet. Edit: Also I actually still have a large portion of the Shadowborg saga taped from when it aired on Fox Kids...somewhere. And a lot of Digimon from when it aired a few years later. I taped a lot of tv. Makes me wonder what kind of ads are on those tapes, lol.

5:30 Ian, the Green Goblin literally says the same thing in the Toby Maguire Spider-Man movies. That's not the show or the movie's writing, that's just how cheesy Spider-Man was in the silver age, which is what both the 90s show and the 2000s movies are based on (in the case of the movies, often down al the way to shot composition since Sam Rami based it on the comics he read growing up). Spider-Man is absolute cheese-wiz, and that's part of the charm.

This is gonna sound wild, but I think I might be the original recorder of Miscellaneous and VArious. I was big into recording TV shows on VHS in the late 90s, random nonhelpful labels were my go-to naming convention, and that looks EXACTLY like young me's handwriting - right down to the weird capital A in VArious. Last I knew, those tapes and several drawerfuls more were just sitting in my parents' basement several states away, and they never threw anything out. But as soon as I saw those labels, I had a vivid flashback of writing them. So I'm mildly freaking out right now. There's a quick way to prove my possibly lying memories wrong, tho. Ian, if you ever see this comment, do those tapes have any commercials or bumpers indicating they were recorded from a Milwaukee station by chance?

Brutalmoose, always eternally on the nostalgia train

[@kaitlyn__L]

Man, I miss how sometimes I’d just let the tape run out when you knew you only had a few minutes left. I love the blip of a different show as well, a bunch of movies taped off of the TV in my home had that happen, if you were lucky it was within the adverts! It usually happens when someone accidentally press the record button, but realises it right away, and presses stop again, like if you forgot to fast forward to the end of a half used tape.

Seeing a new video from Ian instantly makes my day 10x better.

A lot of these commercials really took me back. Thanks, Ian. 💜

Nobody does it like you Ian. Keep em coming!!

I am glad he went back and did this, also these commercials were good, maybe even lost media but who knows.

Wow, I had completely forgotten that I had a mystery VHS tape of my own when I was a kid, and it was Beetleborgs! I'd never heard the name of that show until today but I definitely have seen it before and forgot. Thanks for the memory unlock.

Bro there’s absolutely no way this is a coincidence, I haven’t watched brutalmoose in for freaking ever and literally today I decided to search him up and watched 2 of his half hour long VHS tapes videos and then he uploads a new vhs video a few hours later😅

Now that's the dream
