“Sorry, I got to return this video”

You say that, although it's pretty close to the recurring joke in American Psycho, so if you're lenient this kind of sentence was said in this comm only days ago. https://lemmy.ml/post/24140732/15784014

"Dammit, my tape is stuck inside the VCR again!"

"99 cents for a song? Hell yeah. I'm never buying CDs again." (A reference to the iTunes Music Store launch)

"I ran out of free AOL time. Better get another demo disc"

Speaking of AOL, "yo, what's your AIM screenname?" (Replace "AIM" with your favorite messaging service at the time if you used that)

"Mom, can I have a PlayStation 2? -No. -But it plays DVDs."

"Oh, I can't wait to see the wonderful New York Twin Towers, I'm so excited for what's coming!" (I was too young to even remember the concept of different countries existing so I had no idea what "America" even was, let alone being confused about 9/11)

"I got slimed. It was so. Much. Fun."

"I'm so glad the United Kingdom won Eurovision, I can't wait to see how the next year's contest will turn out. Katrina was so amazing" (1997 was the last time the UK won)

"What a wonderful Saturday morning. Time to watch some cartoons."

"My phone has a NiCd battery, and it's almost out of juice so I can't just plug it in because I will ruin the battery. I have to wait until it literally turns off."

"Belgrade is the capital of Yugoslavia"

"Finally got my fresh new copy of Mac OS X. Time to see what's it's like." proceeds to stay on OS 9 for a few more years

That's all I can think of.

"Can I borrow that VHS?"

20 years ago it would have been DVDs. But even before that, we didn't call them "VHS"es. We called them tapes, or video tapes if we wanted to distinguish from audio tapes.

"The check is in the mail"

[-] joelectron@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Checks are still used all the time, though, so I'm sure someone has said this recently.
