Late 90s Chicago, I don't recall this happening much, but I did have a social studies teacher in 7th grade that let kids take their lunch period in her classroom and the AV cart would usually be tuned in to the Maury Provich show.

I wore out 2 copies of Short Circuit. I could start working on a third.
I'm pretty sure I was in first grade, but for sure no older than third grade, when our sub put on The Blob (1988 version). That sure left a mark on me and I was pretty freaked out showering for at least months afterward.
Awesome. I like the 2000ish version. In elementary school a very cool spelling teacher let us watch one of the Pumpkinhead movies for Halloween. So hilarious and great. I'm honestly surprised some little bitch kid didn't get their parents to start shit.
Once when we were studying in biology class, when I was maybe 14 or 15, the teacher leaves the room and comes back with this sort of telly on the wheelie stand thing; he was trying to surprise us with an educational distraction from textbooks and, it was good on paper.
He must have forgotten to rewind the VHS or something, of a nature documentary, and the entire class got an immediate scene of two wildebeast trying to repopulate the Savannah by themselves.
I mean it did work, since it was a great distraction whilst he frantically Goku punched the Stop button as fast as he could, before pressing rewind.

Add in The Roots for the 17th time this semester.
Ok that thing? Probably reading rainbow or nova
Does anyone remember Channel 1? They made contracts with schools to play the propaganda every day and they put a shitty TV on an arm in every room. I don't know who paid Channel 1. This would be late 90s.
I sure do. In exchange for those free TVs we had to watch 30 seconds of awkward middle schoolers doing a news report followed by 6 teen spirit perfume commercials in a row every homeroom period.
I used to be good friends with one of the guys who did the anti smoking ads. Do you remember "Why do they put all this crap in dip?" That guy. I met him at a huge college party, outside, smoking a cigarette. I was like holy shit you're a fucking hypocrite, how does that feel? And we were friends for years after.
Are you charlie from always sunny in Philadelphia lol

Nothing, that thing obviously doesn't fit a LaserDisc
For critically-panned movies that are arguably good, I recommend a scroll through this thread: [Meme] Which movie was this for you?
It's interesting to see what everyone's opinions are. I've already downloaded a few of the suggestions out of curiosity.

Pat Paulson had this bit on his show where he was the science guy and he would torture the young guy guest and try to make out with the young girl guest.
MTV!
