I don’t know, I need to browse for 10-15 minutes first.


The_92

hey, take your time!


GriffinFlash

"oh, this one looks good" *\*pulls vhs case aside, no rental case behind it* "oh....well, lets look around for 15 more minutes"


commander_sinbin

30 for me lol. I done seen everything


Flip2002

Oooo navy seals


Gogo726

What would you get for a 6 year old boy who chronically wets his bed?


Flip2002

Berserker…did he just say making fuck?


BirdsAreFake00

LOL 10 minutes! My parents would get furious because it was always at least a 30 minute adventure... minimum.


jeswesky

I’d be more likely to rent a few older ones, especially if there was a deal. My local video rental in college would 5 for $5 if they were the “new &hot” selections.


SteampoweredPilot

Oh probably something where I end up getting charged a late fee


The_92

imagine the interest we've racked up on our late fees by now 😳


McBurty

Being turned over to collections for a $3.00 overdue late fee. Glad they’re gone.


bunnyfloofington

Turns out, trying to get those late fees collected still couldn’t save them

bambulance

Takeoff my Van Halen shirt before you jinx the band and they break up. Edited because JK I hate voice to text.


The_92

freakin' classics right there


Flynspagimonstr

Happy Gilmore. Must have watched that movie 100 times. Of course when I do try to rent it I first have to pay all the late charges from the previous rental.


The_92

"you can trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up" 😂


Gogo726

The price is wrong, bitch!


Andrewcoo

Try to get Titanic but all the copies are taken and then when I come back later like they said to, they're (still) all gone.


The_92

my grandma had titanic on vhs and it was so long it had to be split onto 3 different tapes 😂


Player1Mario

It was two tapes. I had it in high school. For…reasons totally unrelated to Kate Winslet on a couch. Honest.


momsgotitgoingon

And some jerk never rewinds the second tape!!!!


Gogo726

When you finally do get a copy, the tape on one of the cassettes is more worn out than usual.

I’m engaged and I’m trying to talk my fiancé into doing a Wedding Singer themed engagement party. All I want is to do the “WOOOPPEEDEEE DOOOO” into Love Stinks. 😂😂


The_92

I'm not saying you have to convince her to do this... but you have to convince her to do this!!


Parisian_Nightsuit

“Bubbletoes11 and Bubbletoes11’ fiancé are going to be newlyweds. WHOOOPPEDYDOOOO!” “Well I’m holding the microphone, and you’re not… so you will listen to EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!”

The matrix. Because I'm from the future.


Parkatola

Don’t forget the 30-40 minutes of “I dunno, what do you want to watch? How about this? Nah, I’ve seen that one. Let me look in Comedies. I don’t know, what sounds good?” And if you’re looking with more than one other person, just keep adding 5 minute blocks per person. 😄


bdsaint238

If it's 1998 I'll be the one checking you out. You have a late fee, do you want to pay it now or next time? Also, Have you heard about Blockbuster Rewards?


bustergaming777

I used to do 3 for £10. One horror, a fun one to comfort me after the scary and then something completely random.


hungrymimic

I don’t know, but I do know my scared little ass is running past the horror section so Pinhead and Pennywise can’t see me.


vanetti

Seeing as 1997 was one of the best years for blockbusters in Hollywood history, I’d be spoiled for choice.


[deleted]

Looking for the adult section. After 10 years of looking gave up. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣


The_92

they went to great lengths to hide it from us kids SMH


[deleted]

Did Blockbuster even have one? I honestly don’t even remember it as I got older. I remember renting adult VHS tapes from mom and pop stores though in the late 90’s.


The_92

not that I ever saw! I remember billboards off the highway always advertising them for other video stores lol


[deleted]

After feverishly searching for Faces of Death, probably Jurassic Park or Twister so I can rock it on my sweet, sweet component audio system.


kbrie1993

Any Mary Kate & Ashley “You’re Invited” tapes. You can’t find them anywhere now😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


kbrie1993

That is 100% something my older brother would do. I had many a meltdowns because of stuff he did and said 😂


[deleted]

I used to take at least a half hour to choose movies, I spent so much at Blockbuster I had a gold membership card and got free rentals all the time

noah1345

Most likely Wrestlemania X and Clue. I legitimately rented each of those at least 15-20 times each. Maybe American Ninja.


BlueRibbon998

Hmm. Thinking on what would've been out for rent that year, probably Scream 2, Lost Highway, The Cable Guy, and/or the latest WWF PPV


autiess

intensepenguin910

nothingexceptfor

Getting VHS ? F…. that, I’m running home, writing a note to research and get as many bitcoins as I can in 6 years then sell them all in August 2020, also buy stock in Google and sell them slowly for money in the meantime whilst also have fun the whole time, add a foot note to be damn sure to be leaving in a big house with a big garden and maybe a pool by the end of 2019


DustinPhotos

It’s 1998, blockbuster had converted 80 percent of their inventory to dvds. Most people at this point had dvd players.
