I’d be careful eating the toast as I don’t think all those plastics are made to sustain high temperatures…there could be bad fumes coming out.

Very nice thing though !

Very cool idea all the same, I want one! :)

completely epic video.

Love the ringing of the plate in each slower take.
What a crazy hack! Pure win!

I be doubly sure to eat the plastic treated toast if I were you.

-and would it kill you to put on some coffee?

anyone ever seen a child stick their hand in the vcr? Not after this.

Kids are always putting jam sandwiches into VCR’s.

I think this has to be the best hack yet!

That “VHS” is toasted into the bread is too funny.

but where’s my betamax toaster?

Posted at 9:18 am on Feb 16th, 2009 by Hatecrime69

the betamax toaster made better toast but was limited to a smaller size slice.

Also sony didn’t license the design and consequently didn’t garner the support of the butter or jam industries which lost them the breakfast wars of the 1980’s.

-please pass the jelly…

Posted at 9:53 am on Feb 16th, 2009 by strider_mt2k

the betamax toaster went the same way as HD-DVD :( sad faice.
great minds think alike – the first thing I thought about was the plastics and hot burning fumes.

“the first thing i thought about was the plastics and hot burning fumes.”

he could have used an older vhs deck with an all-metal chassis, that would have solved the problem quite nicely.

we all know that’s not a real vcr. It’s not flashing 12:00. :D

Ahhh, The Young Ones… :) Good memories…

Anonymous Girls(walk into room):”Hi, Mike!”
Mike(sitting in room):”Not yet, but I soon will be!”

Anonymous Guy(Knocks on front door):”Mind if I use your loo?”
Resident(Answering door):”Of course I mind!”
Anonymous Guy:”Hmm… I thought not, that’s why I pissed in your garden.”

Haha… Good stuff….

Keep that heated plastic far away from me, please.

hey, I got a top loading Betamax, I now have a use for it

Posted at 3:02 pm on Feb 16th, 2009 by aztraph

bummer all the good jokes for the betamax’s were taken, oh well, anyone want an old beta, holler

Posted at 3:08 pm on Feb 16th, 2009 by aztraph

a different take on the VIDEO TOASTER

Posted at 4:06 pm on Feb 16th, 2009 by paul

Not true, the beta max was designed to handle European style bread slices at longer toasting times due to the “heavy” bread style of the period.

I’d post a picture of the bread I speak about, but it’s not exactly easy to do when it’s currently unprepared and unable to be toasted… yes I don’t have a Beta toaster.

I wonder how tasty the bread would be….

Posted at 3:01 am on Feb 17th, 2009 by Sammy

If it’s anything like my old VCR it’ll be OK for a few months then suddenly it’ll begin to chew the bread up.

Combining it with the VCR’s timer electronics would be great – it could then have the flashing 12:00 display, or be programmed to make toast at 7am every morning.

@ louis ii: You’re okay man.

You’re okay.

Posted at 6:37 am on Feb 17th, 2009 by strider_mt2k

Actually, I always thought that an NES toaster would be fantastic, but kept wondering how long it would be before the plastic would get melty. The “VHS” tattooed on the toast is a really nice touch.

@James

Well I imagine your toaster would chew up the bread. Was it bread compatible?
