The World’s Best Collection of Unintentionally Funny VHS Tapes

Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher started collecting old VHS tapes in 1991, and haven't stopped since. Their collection focuses on "special interest" tapes, ranging from ridiculous job training videos to scarf-tying to spin-off exercise classes. The duo showcases their collection through their Found Film Festival events across North America.
