User blog comment:Dorkpool/A Rant Regarding Lost Episode Stories/@comment-4849011-20160703002631

First off, my house has three VCRs (two combination VCR/DVD players and a semi-functioning VCR) and we still use them, but I understand your point. It would be funny if a story said, "I found a mysterious tape. I don't know what was on it because I didn't have a VCR anymore. Hopefully whoever bought it from Goodwill liked it!" Since you brought up the point of technology, why not have the video be on some kind of computer file, or else go really old school and have the footage be on an old-timey film reel that you found in a relative's closet?

 * Max Bosworth- That sounds realistic.
 * Brian Bosworth- (chuckles) You said that sounds really sick?
 * Max Bosworth- No, realistic.
 * Brian Bosworth- Oh.

I took art classes in college, and while there's a genre called photorealism or superrealism (not to be confused with surrealism), not once was the term "hyper-realistic" used.

You made some great points, such as them being interchangeable. "If add blood and gore to a random children's show, it's sure to be a hit! Whee!" I thought your Walking Dead comment was funny and true as well. I think there could be a lost episode pasta made about it; it just has to be creative and not have all the cliches. I know that when there's a lost episode pasta that's original, it's like a breath of fresh air.

One last thing- To these idiots who believe "Squidward's Suicide"/"Red Mist" are real, don't you think this would have been on the news?
