I would really like to know how this is done. It looks so cute.

Ahh, how the trumpanzee brain struggles sometimes!

This is a VCR TV in case that detail escaped you and there's a tape running and the "reactions" are simply coinciding with his "random" hand movements, with a simple timer to clock out of sight too, it's easy to time it to the part where the clip of the man waving appears.

People who didn't work this out should not be allowed to vote.

If you like that, you'll love the Mac fish tank. This one was made with an iMac, One of my customers made one out of an original Macintosh released in 1984. Wish I had taken a picture of it.

Then explain how another tape can go into the VCR without taking one out.

There is no "other" tape, there's a single tape and it has a recording of the gremlin, followed by a clip of a man waving, followed by another recording of the gremlin.

It worries me that someone who cannot see this absurdly simple trick is allowed to vote but doesn't surprise me that when you did vote you voted for whom you did.

Watch the video I just posted. At the end of it a tape is inserted.

And with that Sherlock Holmes has left the chat.

Are you starting to get the picture? (pun intended). The screen must be displaying the output from another VCR where his tape is playing and he's set the input to those two aux inputs before recording his youtube video.

I'd be ashamed if this was my kid.

I'm a little surprised by this. As a videophile, I'd never buy anything as lame as a TV with a built in VCR, and while I suppose I understand the addition of an aux. input even when you have a tape drive already built in (maybe for a DVR or if the tape drive breaks), but it seems to me that it would be handier to have a RECORD OUT so that you can send the output of the tape drive elsewhere than the built in TV screen, maybe to another recorder. Maybe Panasonic put that on the back.

I'd be ashamed if this was my kid.

I think you are being a little harsh and unreasonable in expecting her knowing how video gear works. I don't think Road Runner is much for the technically minded.

That said, it looked like the face could have been coming from the AUX IN input as you said then defaulted to the built in tape drive when the tape was inserted.

You and Flopper should get together then. He doesn't think people should be educated nor informed to vote. I bet he hits the roof hearing that you don't think people not knowledgeable in the workings of video electronics should be allowed to vote!

Keep in mind also, Sherlock, that Road Warrior may also have a learning disability from what she has told us from other threads, so try not to be a TOTAL a-hole.
