Blockbuster Vacuum Video Screening
Added 2025-01-15 21:03:00 +0000 UTCHot Dog! So we watched the vacuum cleaner video. Had some laughs, but it wasn't landed on for the wheel so I would have been immoral to include it in the final video. It would have been sinful. However, this is the magic of Patreon or whatever this is. For me to post you these things we've done. - Krebs Gorlon

2025-02-07 02:22:09 +0000 UTCI wish I stole the ones from the early 00s that Landmark Cinemas had (probably made in the late 90s?). They had a sexual harassment training video that was hosted by Roger Lodge before he got his Blind Date gig...

2025-02-01 20:11:55 +0000 UTCAmerican work culture seems like such a fucking nightmare. Every workplace training video has a disturbingly dystopian vibe, and the main takeaway from every one of them is suicidal ideation. Grim as hell.

2025-01-18 17:29:15 +0000 UTCI’ve long thought that would be a great April Fool’s Day video idea. Like, they sit down and watch Citizen Kane, Vertigo, and The Godfather, and then destroy whichever one everyone likes least (all while Jay sobs quietly in the back).

2025-01-17 16:00:56 +0000 UTCI think it's a pillow (seat cushion foam instead of, like, regular pillow stuffing). They must have access to a fabric printer.

2025-01-17 02:09:44 +0000 UTCWhat is the nukie prop by Josh? Too big to be a VHS but too small to be a LazerDisc. I must know! And thanks for vacuum instructions, I always wondered how to change that eddin filte bag.

2025-01-16 21:28:19 +0000 UTCMy heart is full of sorrow to learn of the passing of David Lynch... Vacuum cleaners are cool though, I guess.

2025-01-16 20:19:33 +0000 UTCIt's possible, though I only remember the one advertorial—maybe it also played on local stations late at night, in the same block where you could find ads for adult party lines and the occasional ad for a porno movie (back when those were still a thing)? They were all cut severely, but I caught them just the same....
Timothy Liebe
2025-01-16 20:02:27 +0000 UTCwe didn't have cable when I was a kid but "blowing cigarette smoke through a handkerchief" sounds super familiar. maybe it was a gimmick on more than just the one commercial the person you knew was on.

2025-01-16 18:39:25 +0000 UTCYou guys ever think of doing a “worst of the best” gimmick?? I don’t know how that would work, but you guys are the only ones who could do it properly

2025-01-16 01:47:11 +0000 UTCDoesn't matter, American, pastry, we're all RLM fans and thus perpetually drunk (for real or in spirit).

2025-01-16 01:36:02 +0000 UTCI worked at Blockbuster in the late '90s. During the period when Titanic came out. If you play Celine Dion's My heart Will go on I will actually get nauseous. Because they played that goddamn music video so often on the videotapes that we played that I must have listened to it 15 times a day times 5 days, for 3 months. But I definitely remember that vacuum cleaner. Because of the weird funky corner on the thing. But I never got to see the video. But I still have two of the videos we played over and over at home. I should pop those in and relive the nostalgia. As long as it's not freaking Titanic.

Paul Randall
2025-01-16 00:12:01 +0000 UTCI pay a regularly monthly fee to watch four middle-aged men provide commentary for a thirty to forty-year-old instructional video on the proper maintenance of this one very specific vacuum cleaner, exclusively targeted towards employees of a now-defunct video rental chain store which operated said vacuum cleaner. I pay 15 dollars a month for this service, in fact. If one of those middle-aged men kindly asked me to pay more, I would. I would, Mike. Also, English is not my native tongue, as I am Danish, and I am writing this at 1 o'clock in the morning.

2025-01-15 23:54:18 +0000 UTCKinda makes you want to put a wet filter in one of them vacuum cleaners. Don't do that at home, kids.

2025-01-15 22:03:03 +0000 UTCYes! THIS is why we pay you guys the big bucks!

Dave Ruff
2025-01-15 21:59:13 +0000 UTCI knew the guy who did this notorious smoker's toothpaste advertorial (only showed on cable stations late at night, because smoking in an ad was a no-no on broadcast TV—I don't even think anti-smoking PSAs could show smoking then!) where he started out blowing cigarette smoke through a handkerchief. He was in one of my acting classes, and boy—he never let you forget that He Was On TeeVee and most of us weren't! This guy in the Blockbuster Vacuum video reminds me of him a little....
Timothy Liebe
2025-01-15 21:39:21 +0000 UTCAnd now I know how to operate a Carpetwin vacuum cleaner. Thanks Red Letter Media!
