13:54 Come to Chicago! You might run into the poor sap who bought every pay TV box released in the 80s.

25:33 -- JESUS! That scared the SHIT out of me!

...Nice stereo effect though. I really thought something exploded in my room...

[Branhower]

I was expecting a monolith at Phyllis's garage sale.

[michelle_pgh]

It's so incredibly awful and yet I can't look away. You win this one Phyllis Diller! I just hope little Tommy is better now.

[FooPanda]

You know what they say! All toasters toast toast!

[marktubeie]

...and to think Phyllis lived to the ripe old age of 95! as she would say... I do love your voice-overs Ben...

[kkatmartin]

Yay! New VHS vault! So pumped!!! These are like one of my favourite bits! I also like the karaoke stuff.

I really enjoy how the intro visuals and music and the faceless narrator combine into a creepy sense of unease. It's pretty unique and kinda brilliant.

The moment I read the title, I immediately thought of the song "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" by Billy Joel. XD

[ZappahVideo]

Ben, you made the sale with that "The Piano Has Been Drinking" reference.

[Fluteboy]

When I saw the title, I started singing:

So pack your toys away, your pretty boys away,
Your 45's away, your alibis away,
Your Spanish flies away, your one-more-tries away,
Your old tye-dyes away, you're moving out today.

[FernieCanto]

This has been some of your funniest commentary ever, I believe!

[randywatson]

Siphylis Dillys wth... so bad!
14:26 the vaporwave is strong with this one
19:07 the guy seems to have an accent.

[SciFiFan]

Dynasty and Dallas have had remakes already.

All aside, I am in the process of moving and decluttering, so this is the sort of thing I need right now. Thanks Benny-boy.

You convince my to clean out my VHS collection, and boy was there a lot.

[WammyGiveaway]

5:19 I was almost expecting, "And the Jell-O's jigglin'!"

[csukosd]

Solid video vault. look forward to more video vault episodes.

[MrGhostown]

I'll do anything to be "Moving Out" of "Allentown".

Mr. Archive, thanks for another laugh out loud episode. I'm glad you share the same disdain for "Dorf on Golf" as I do. It's not that "Dorf on Golf" is the worst thing to come out of the 80s, it's just that video had EVERY SINGLE HALLMARK ABOUT BAD 80s COMEDY. I can't really name the worst hallmark in that video, but clearly telegraphing the punchline about 35 miles before it is actually said was mind numbing. Also, that video simply WASTES the talent of Tim Conway and Vincent Schiavelli. My head hurts, thanks for sharing the same disdain.
