I don't know what I love about old commercials for out-dated technology

It's like looking at advertisements for disproven Victorian medical devices

Wait, so you pop the disc in, it loads the movie into itself super fast, then you pop it out and watch the movie?

That doesn't seem likely.

The videodiscs were inside a plastic case that could only be "removed" by the player itself when you slipped it in.

Or by someone with a screwdriver.

A 1980 commercial is mentioning movies that came out after 1980?

Oh wow..so THAT'S what those things are! I saw a shit ton of these things at a thrift store awhile back and couldn't figure out what the hell they were.

These are awesome because just like record albums, they could develop a skip. Best video glitch ever.

I knew someone whose entire senior year of film school in the late 80s was spent working with a broken videodisc player and a disc of Jane Fonda's Workout.

This design is really impractical, like a 1950s vision of watching movies at home in the distant future.

Everything at that time was made to blend into the fake wood paneling that covered every room in your home.

Under 15 bucks? Take that, Blu-Ray!

Actually 15 bucks in 1981 is $35 now. :(

Stopheles
So "less than $500" in 1981 dollars...eesh...

Billy the Poet
My mind rebels at the existence of these things.
