That's the point. You laugh if you get it, and you sit there confused wondering who even uses tapes if you don't. It's like pretty much an meme or idiom or old phrase that people still use; the literal meaning is not what is important.
@316greg actually I don't lol, I was joking. I still have videotapes but I got rid of my video recorder. Then I bought my favorite videotape movies on DVD.
@Casarzino I know i only watch DVD's too i was kidding about the Laser Disks!!! I do have a bunch of VHS Tapes in my closet that i'll never watch again maybe i should ship them to Patrick Bateman!!!
I love the first one where he's just about at a crisis point- voice crackling, sweat beading on his face...hand shaking....those are the mannerisms I'll use when I say that to people.
@freshPrincess626 yeah it's true...i'm only 17 but i used to watch a lot of movies video tapes, and listening to records (the Rolling Stones). i'm an old-school teen :P
Yea, awesome. I've got to return some video tapes too. The best part is when he breaks up with Evelyn and tells her he has to return some video tapes.
One person was not able to return the videotapes.
