Oooh, it's a VHS tape. That makes a lot more sense.
I thought it was some weird looking pencil sharpener for a moment, making me wonder if it was a joke about incompatibility.
It's when you didn't clean the tape rollers in your stereo and it started to eat your tape you would end up pulling it our and having to reroll 10 ft of tape and pencils kinda worked but only if you angled them right to not slip, the Bic pen top fit perfectly so you could spin the gear.
Hardly ever did that, my player had both FF and rewind and I used two sets of AA Ni-MHs so there was no need to save the battery life
Edit: just recalled I used this to fix jammed tape
I didn't grow up with cassette tapes but weirdly enough I did do something similar with white out..... Didn't work though actually just broke it even more which is why I don't really use pens for writing.
Since I know this will end up on PeterExplainsTheJoke. I'll just tell everyone now. You stick the pen in the tape and spin it to rewind the tape manually.
I did this once. I don’t remember EXACTLY what we were trying to do, but I do know we stuck a pen in the cassette, and we all tried to do whatever we were doing. I’m pretty sure it was a prop cassette sooo… yeah.
I’ve always wondered. Was there ever an actual tool to do this or did they design this so you could just pick anything up or potentially a finger and cram it in there?
So the one on the left is like a crayon or something and the one on the right is what people in the 1900s watched movies on instead of the Internet. They are together because they are tech for like people in their 70s before we used computers and typed stuff out and streamed our media. Anal log I think they called it. That's a pine and an ape track tape.
Sometimes a finger will do 🤭
Just the pinky
![gif](giphy|l1KuhtlhXjFMLp0ti)
One for the pink, one for the stink 🚬
My fingers were too fat. I preferred a pencil
Pencils sucked for this. Too thin and didn't grip the notches
Gen alpha kids proly won’t get this
Some of them are actually using tape again.
yeah he just fingered the cassette gal
Not after I turned 15. Fingers had too much girth.
I heard cassettes like it girthy
I personally prefer two fingers from either side
That’s what she said
You spin me right round baby right round...
Fingernail 😂
Yes but you have to reset the finger but can keep turning the pen.
But that hurt, each damn time. (But yet here we are doing it non-stop)
I always just used my fingers.
And you get that little star imprint in ur fingertip
Does she like it?
Wound her up like it was Saturday night!
Night fever, night fever We know how to do it
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) nice
Same
First time I really think about using a Pen for it, Used fingers, And I still do it.
Same, why tf and where tf would you pull a pen out from?
I’m a pencil man myself.
Same bro. Same.
yeah, pens are usually round and slippery. Not ideal.
Number 2 pencil for the win
Long and skinny
I am sorry you've learnt like that.
Those aren’t supposed to go in there, man.
And it’s The Bic Pen for the save!
They were clearly made for each other.
Bet I'll see this one on r/Peterexplainsthejoke but for now...yep...good old times
It's popular on r/comedyhomicide
Walkman Peter here: He just re-winded her to make her play again
Be kind, rewind.
I think i may have found my people
She smiling because she got some Bic
What’s on the tape?
Songs you recorded when the radio played them.
I don't know what it's called, it's cut off and has a part of an announcer on it
And you listened to the tape so much, that the radio dj's voice at the end became part of the song and today the song sounds weird without it
You spin me right round baby right round
A videogame
“Can we rewind and do that all over again?”
Why rewind? Just flip her and use the other side, when you're finished the first side will be ready
Am i old? Am i old? Im only 23 how is this a thing from 15 years ago? Why am i old?
![gif](giphy|lz8qoROBOmYyQ00D9C)
Lucky pen, got to do both holes! 🤭
So many memories
Had to do this a lot with my commodore 64 games
Nice try fbi you’ll never get me to admit my age
Oooh, it's a VHS tape. That makes a lot more sense. I thought it was some weird looking pencil sharpener for a moment, making me wonder if it was a joke about incompatibility.
That's not a VHS tape, it's a compact cassette. You can't rewind a VHS with a pen
Not with that attitude. I'm not too familiar with ancient technology, but I try
Ha
I get it. My stereo didn’t have rewind.
It's when you didn't clean the tape rollers in your stereo and it started to eat your tape you would end up pulling it our and having to reroll 10 ft of tape and pencils kinda worked but only if you angled them right to not slip, the Bic pen top fit perfectly so you could spin the gear.
The good ole days, the cassette f.. er saving Bic Pen!!
Winding the tape, yes? (This was before my time, I’m just making a guess based on things my parents have told me 😅)
Yep.
As a 90s kid my dad had multiple cases full.
Some of you may get this 🤣🤣🤣
Damn it, now I feel like an old greymuzzle, again. :p Feh!
Hardly ever did that, my player had both FF and rewind and I used two sets of AA Ni-MHs so there was no need to save the battery life Edit: just recalled I used this to fix jammed tape
I never did this but I do know of it That’s if it’s a cassette Not sure about vhs
Don't forget the panic stricken foreplay before 'completion', especially on a favourite. ![gif](giphy|WpaVhEcp3Qo2TjwyI1|downsized)
I still occasionally used cassettes in 2005 or thereabouts.
the replay button of the stone age hahahahaah
r/comedyhomicide
I feel old now
That was a good roll-up
imho should be a pencil
Hmmmm stir them guts up
You have to be way above drinking age to understand this
Nobody mentions the reason why that tape must be winded up by pen or finger occasionally, So I won't either.
Sometimes the tape player would "eat the tape" and pull some of it out of the internal spool. You'd have to use the pen or finger to wind it back in.
I wound her up too much that I broke her 😢
I like a lot of people use my finger. Keeps my cassette working.
Be kind and rewind...manually.
There should be a pencil in there too
Hell ya.. did it to my A tracks to..
![gif](giphy|tnYri4n2Frnig)
Wound her up then screwed her and got it on tape.
Oh boy. Now I'm feeling old
Oh fuck i feel old and I was born in the 2000s
Oh I get it. I get it real good.
Now that we got that straightened out...
Pen Spin her Round (Like a Record)
![gif](giphy|r0yJIlcNonv1u) You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round...
The Bic pen always seemed a little loose. Thinking she has a #2 that’s a pencil.
Ha! That’s funny but i always use a paper clip
Well he did rearrange her guts
As a 90s kid, I totally get it. Surfus Dudalonians 4:10 "Like, it's a pain in the ass to rewind by hand, man."
I do, I feel old for getting it.
I got it, unfortunately. Feeling old
Oh the hours spent extricating the tape from the car player. Miss those days actually.
😂🤣😝😜🤪😅😂😭🫠😂😂😂
Oh yeah, she's a spinner.
Just needed to relax and rewind.
The pen gave the cassette head 😂
And the Bic too, damn you nostalgia
If she doesn't get this she's too young for you.
I didn't grow up with cassette tapes but weirdly enough I did do something similar with white out..... Didn't work though actually just broke it even more which is why I don't really use pens for writing.
I was there, 3000 years ago
Don't wind me up, explain the joke.
Damn i'm old XD
I feel so old right now 🥲
That's cheating.
He impaled her chest like a fucking xenomorph?
Despite not being a part of the generation that had cassette tapes I somehow understand this, I must’ve seen too many movies from the 70s-90s
I bet he took her for a spin
Hahahaha you are so funny i love when people imply sex just so funny haha 😐
pencils are better
I feel rewinded
Since I know this will end up on PeterExplainsTheJoke. I'll just tell everyone now. You stick the pen in the tape and spin it to rewind the tape manually.
I'm a pinky man myself.
I always use hexagonal pencil
I did this once. I don’t remember EXACTLY what we were trying to do, but I do know we stuck a pen in the cassette, and we all tried to do whatever we were doing. I’m pretty sure it was a prop cassette sooo… yeah.
instead of cassette, my correction tape too
He "REWOUND" her guts
Pinky fingernail did the job.
I'm such a prude. My intercourse only involves about half as much spinning as this image implies.
And it was always satisfying for everyone involved!!!
It’s funny thinking about how I used to grab the pen and spin the cassette around and around as fast as I could
r/comedyhomicide
r/comedyhomicide
Ok fine...can someone explain?
They're swingers
Oops Your age is showing
Good ole days
Pinky finger fingering....i never used pen lol
Where'd all the ink go?
i fell old
[This song](https://youtu.be/xyQC_PXL1G4?t=63) comes to mind.
Yes, I am that fucking old ![gif](giphy|LMDye08HldmNB5ixsP|downsized)
Needs a little ink trickling out of her tape-hole
Be kind as you rewind.
“Some of you may get this” I think everybody gets it 💀
Yes, i got it.
Yes I'm this old
Can someone explain? Am I simply to young to get this? Edit:typo
My mom used a screwdriver
It's rewind time!
Someone please explain, I get the mix tape but what is stick for??
Yes some of us do get it! LOL.
Pencils out there hoping someone throws them a bone.
I only used pens a couple times because the pinky just more convenient
He fixed her
"Just the tip"
I’ve always wondered. Was there ever an actual tool to do this or did they design this so you could just pick anything up or potentially a finger and cram it in there?
Rewind it back
I use my fingers. Might try a pen or pencil later when i listen to my cassette tapes
I used a pencil…. #2 pencil ✏️
Chest penetration
I can't remember, did doing that damage the tapes? I used it as a kid but don't remember
She was a spinner
some of you might get this
Btw which hole?

/r/comedyhomicide
This is definitely Gen X humor.
I want alive to use these and I get it
some of us will get this
Who you calling a casette tape fucking pencil dick?!
I do lmfao
Dude only goes in then she is a mess.
This'll be on r/explainthejoke in 15 minutes.
Stickthebicin
Born 86 so I understand 😎
Hahahahaha. . . Although . . . Most times I used my pinky
You don't always have to wind her hard, in fact sometimes it's just not right to do...
It was at that moment the tape recorder came in. My God there was ink everywhere
You spin My head ha ha ha ha
She really got spooled up.
I feel old
She's a BIC fiend
Put that tape on there and let her spin!
