it is pretty funny about religion that everyone gets so offended that christians say gays are going to hell for being sinners etc but they ignore muslims who actively hunt them or jews that actively believe that jewish blood is the master race and any non jew is an animal

You can be offended at people who won't chop off your head or close your bank account.

VHS was trash, and I'm glad it's gone.

Great episode except for the obligatory 5 minutes hate against Christians. Very old school as they kept pointing out. Wish we could've got more Freddie drawings.

90s evangelicals hated catholics which is why the crusaders turn into literal orcs in that video.

Really wanted to see Guerrilla Driving. I need that Surviving Edged Weapons fix as much as possible.

When it landed on the trampoline video I thought for sure Mike was going to move the wheel back a notch.

The only honestly good use VHS has anymore is, seriously, if you're really into finding weird random bullshit that's long since been forgotten. AKA exactly what they do on Best of the Worst. Other than that, uh... art projects? Decoration? The loose tape you can pull from one is shiny and pretty IRL.

Ya I really liked unspooling broken ones as a kid; usually the tape is fairly brittle and snaps when you play with it but occasionally you find one with some sort of unbreakable super-tape in it that only gets stronger when you stretch it and now you have a very long Imagination Rope

Strong and Carman both died last year...
the RLM curse is getting so strong you could die a the year before they feature you in a video.

But did they beat/kill their wives and girlfriends?

It's all a matter of perspective. I like RLM but their views can pretty much be summed up as late 90s-early 00s liberalism. It's easy for them to denounce the Carman video because there's literally no backlash that will come, denouncing "anti-gay" 90s Christianity in 2023 (or 2022 when they filmed it) isn't a brave or controversial opinion. I also would love to know what their opinions or their friends/families' were on gays circa the time of that video. I have a feeling they wouldn't be so brazen about their defense of homosexuality at the time.

If there was a Muslim VHS describing their views on the gays from the 90s, I doubt it would even get on the wheel, let alone be watched on video. If it somehow were, there would be all kinds of apologetics despite them likely saying that all gays need to be killed. Never mind the fact that even the most religious Christian videos stop at gays are going to hell. It's not even intentional, I don't think they have some kind anti-Christian agenda but what little politics they share is basic bitch levels of understanding.

This isn't even relegated to Christianity. Take a look at the video on self preservation against crime. While it does go into extremes that are comical such as tying a rope on your bed at all times to climb out the window in case you're getting robbed, there is some solid advice. Many of them repeat the point that it's "fear mongering" which is understandable for a bunch of middle aged white guys likely living in safe, mostly white neighborhoods. But go ahead and tell people living in the inner city that they're paranoid or fear mongering for wanting a firearm. Jay also then mocks the idea of practicing drills in case of emergencies. If he's never been the victim of a crime, fine, but surely he's heard of fire drills or other safety drills to practice in case of emergencies.

It's not even unique to that video, basically any time guns are mentioned as anything outside of the context of action movies they're treated like a big joke only meant for insecure people. It's exactly the kind of perspective I'd expect from middle age men with reasonable means that aren't looking over their shoulder cause they're a vulnerable party living in a dangerous part of town cause it's the only place they can afford.

On the opposite end, there's that fire safety video which someone like Rich could've actually used as a child but most people see it as a big joke. The presentation is cringe worthy but the message is well intentioned and there are definitely people who need it.

Yeah I forgot to mention that. That tape was before my time, but I wondered if they were ignoring if crime had gotten bad in a specific area. I have older family that watched their city turn to gang warfare and had to change their way of life almost literally overnight.
The methods were cringe, but his intensity might’ve been called for.

And omg did Rich really set his grandparents kitchen on fire making fries? I thought Jesse was joking.

go watch the be cool about fire safety episode he tells the story
 
You guys are really gonna write whole ass essays because they made fun of a cringey Christian music video? I know making fun of christians isn't pushing boundries anymore but that doesn't mean you still can't make fun of them when they do something worth laughing at.
