Everything is Terrible!

Everything is Terrible! is a Chicago-based video blogging website that features unusual, dated, and campy clips of VHS tapes from the late 20th century. The project was founded in 2000 by a group of friends while at Ohio University. "Every weekend or free afternoon they get," according to NPR, they search at thrift stores, garage sales, and bargain bins for the worst and most outrageous VHS tapes to share with each other. The website was launched in 2007 in Chicago. The website has also been attempting to amass the largest collection of Jerry Maguire on VHS; according to member Ghoul Skool: "We always have noticed since the beginning that there seems to be nothing but just Jerry Maguire tapes filling our nation's thrift stores. I don't know why." Collective members keep a tally of tapes and a leaderboard of contributors on their website watch.everythingisterrible.com. Donations are accepted via mail to P.O. Box 50825, Los Angeles, CA 90050. As of June 27, 2016, the group has gathered 12,240 VHS tapes, but they are about 5,000 tapes shy of their goal of building a pyramid in the desert.

I liked it on Family Guy when they were doing the training video and they start banging. that's litterally what the people look like they're about to do half the time when they start pulling out exercise mats

I've been watching some of their random ridiculous video clips for a few years now, such cringy terribly awesome stuff ....I dig some of this sort of stuff.
I'm usually not a big fan of watching TV while tripping....But I'd like to spend an hour or so watching some of this stuff while spun out of my gourd on acid with a few friends to share giggles with, and a small box of nitrous.
I think "everything is terrible" actually went on a "tour" around the US a year or two ago, playing their typical terribly lame & awesome random vids at theaters & other venues around the country....From what I gathered, it sounded like most of the audience was spun & high as a kite.
Also heard about their Jerry Maguire project, so random....love it.
