Beth= 2016 Stranger Danger.

I remember this training video. I worked at Blockbuster in the summer of 1989. Women would fight over Beaches. I had to settle them down constantly.

“Jason does Dallas.” 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

i love how they put in cliche movie buffs analyzing this training video as if it were Kubrick

2:40 "Jason Does Dallas" XD I'm not sure I want to think about what that movie would involve.

1:55 associate recommending Bogart classics: Maltese Falcon, Treasure of the Sierra Madre or The African Queen to some 9 year old... ya that's what hapenned at Blockbuster. LOL

"..And I think watching watching them made me older too." Well, I guess that technically true. Sort of.

Jason Does Dallas? I have several questions.

This is even MORE insane than the 1990 version! The kid and the woman, tbh can't blame him. And that end credits music.....LOL too bad Alfred is the real star here

There's no way a real kid would manage to sit through a romantic classic like Casablanca, now Alfred is more of your typical 9 year old kid.

So this is the real reason Blockbuster went out of business.... training video's showing 10 year old boys trying to hit on women old enough to be their mother lol

I don't know how many teenagers Blockbuster Video hired. My friend went to Blockbuster Video and there were teens working.

Alfred: I'm going to check out the latest Friday the 13th Sequel Jason Does Dallas Josh: That's an X-rated movie

youtube is the only way back to the 80s an 90s

R.I.P Blockbuster

Things wrong with part 2... 1. 10 year old hits on woman old enough to be his mother, and wants to be in a relationship with. 2. 1:55 associate recommending classic titles to a ten year old. 3. From 2:20 to 2:23 the kids eyes get bigger and bigger. Gave me nightmares for a week. 4. 3:55 kid has good point/insult and associate can't think of a comeback. 5. At 4:04 that part's just weird. And I'll just leave it at that.

Discount Candace Cameron.

Uh, I worked at various video stores (Movie Gallery 2000-2002, Blockbuster 2002-2006, indie video store in 2010, and Blockbuster again 2014-2016), and I’ve never seen tapes blocked in a leaning position like that. I guess that was their deal back in the ‘80s. 🤷

I bet Alfred grew up to be a serial killer

2:29 to 2:37 at 10 years old, even I knew what the Maltese Falcon was, and it was definitely not a milkshake!

God I feel old.

@1:41 - That’s actually a myth. Ronald Reagan’s name was used by the studio as a publicity stunt at one point, but he was never actually considered for the role of Rick.

This feels like a sitcom

Jason does Dallas....sounds like the gay parody version.

I'd pay to see a movie like "Casablanca Summer."

Fast forward to the Future where there are no more Block busters. Just Mainly one still operating in the us, Bet they didn't see that coming.

Did Blockbuster have Laser Disks? I hear they might soon replace VHS tapes.

Thanks for laugh. I seriously laughed out loud.

Casablanca Summer could have been an interesting movie. Don't know why, but I see Kevin Smith writing & maybe directing it.

These retail training videos are addictive because they are so cheesy. "Here's looking at you kid."

Early 90s

3:01 can't breathe... laughing too hard. oh lawd... this is a big one!...

Jason Does Dallas LMAAAAOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Alfred is awesome!

I wonder if Siskel and Ebert ever saw this and how they would have rated it lol

mama goin bust yo block boi

Chris Hanson wants to talk. 😭😂

My guess is that now Blockbuster has online memberships,streaming movies and mail out DVDs as alternate sources of revenue. But in 1989, customers walking in and renting tapes was the ONLY source of revenue...You had to be "perky and overbearing" to get them to rent more tapes so the store can make any money at all.

I like Alfred's Einstein t-shirt.

shenanigans lol

I was ALFRED.... and just how stoned is Driscoll?

holy shit these kids are LIT

I’ve got some good movies in the back room...

Nice try Alfred ! LOL

Casablanca Summer looks awful.

My son josh trynna clap cheeks behind the blockbuster dumpster

Sizes and scaling is interesting when observing two young ... (brown heads) (?)

Wow that's so cheesy but nostalgic. Thinks for the cool look back into the past. Vhs tapes I remember renting a lot but it's funny how long ago it really was.

Hey lady Do you have any NES games, SNES games and Gameboy games?

Jason Does Dallas...and does it well! The critics are raving: “Jason Voorhees’ hottest, horniest performance yet!” ~ Swank Magazine “Jason Voorhees keeps this business where it belongs: in the gutter.” ~ Screw Magazine “The Deep Throat of slasher films.” ~ Eros Magazine “Jason does Dallas in a hedonist’s heaven!” ~ Erotic X-Film Guide “Hustler’s Highest Rating!” ~ Hustler “Ten nominations, including Best Picture.” ~ Critics Adult Film Association

Is she grooming that kid? Who thought this was even remotely a good idea!? This is fucking mental!

3:35 I wonder what Alfred rented instead. Some Disney movie?

I am sooooo glad that Blockbuster employees are primarily slackjawed, indifferent stoners today, as opposed to the perky, overbearing saleshawks the company apparently aspired to in the late 80's (it's supposed to be a video store, not The Buckle!). It's nice to know, though, that Blockbuster had a policy requiring it's employees to encourage preteen stalkers. Thanks for the upload!

josh was ready to become a man that summer

*gasp* The LANGUAGE on Josh. Alfred was less aggressive and he was horror fan [/sarcasm]

Stalking Beth ....

alfred rules

why did boys used to wear neon pink clothing in the 80s? i remember having those striped shirts too.

Josh has mommy issues, methinks.

So what should we to wait forward hmm how about queen the prophet song 1975 song okay

OH Also When They said Casablanca Was greatest of all time. have to remember too this was back in 89. I don't think They Saw Titanic coming at all years later.

1:11 lol I was sure she was a midget, then she stands up at 1:21

1:53 Maybe if they didn't have such a lax policy on physical customer abuse Blockbuster could have stayed in business.

she looks like the other blockbuster girls (marie?) mom lol, sounds just like her. same facial movements and goofy eyes.

was acceptable in the 80s

After Driscoll died, who was his successor? Does anyone know?

Jesus Christ, how about some spoiler warnings

OH MY GOD. This is the creepiest thing!

Ronald Reagan was never going to be in Casablanca.

is this what the world used to see as acceptable? i mean what the fuck

Josh wants to bogart Beths bunghole...who can blame him!

Blockbuster has a policy not to rent r rated movies to kids Yeah until the parents come in and yell their brains out at the associate for denying their kids the rentel

1:30 SPOILERS!

Creepiest shit I’ve seen in a while?....”Ted Buddy - The Junior Years”

Beth is not money

Disturbing

wtf

this its so BAD!!!!!! Lol

worked for Blockbuster from 1995 to 2002 never did I see 9 years old's wanting to watch Casablanca the Alfred kid is more like a 9 year old Horror/slasher movies lol lastest Friday the 13th Jason does Dallas was wondering if he was gonna mention Debbie too lol horrible training video worse than Buster Sales that was bad too lol

beth is 4/10 tops.

This is bloody awful. 🤦‍♂️🤮

Kind of cringy. Example of when videos on "serious" or dry subjects try to make them more hip, cool or interesting by hiring Z-list actors to add "humor".
