90s Time Traveler Discovers Netflix 

Fun fact: Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix, but they said "We don't want to do that" and didn't.

"Don't forget you're a disappointment to yourself and everyone around you" As he looks right into the camera hahaha

"It sounds like you had a heart attack." "Whoops." "Whoopsie."

Keep making more of this sketch "it's the 90's"

never let this series die, it brings me so much joy

"Why even call them phones at that poin" "I DON'T KNOW" i died XD

Back when the time traveler was able to come back to the studio

"Holy sh*t are we a strong company" this is what every CEO should tell their staff in order to succeed

Wait a minute. Did the future just collect a payment from the past?

Netflix is tight

Fun fact: *There is actually one Blockbuster that is still open to this day!* It's in Bend, Oregon. Even during Covid they are somehow staying in business because of their loyal local customers.

The “dividy disc” part literally made me spit my drink! HOW AM I JUST NOW FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS GUY?!?!

I can't understand one thing. HOW ARE YOU NOT FAMOUS YET????

"What sorts of things do people use their phones for?" "Pretty much everything except making phone calls."

"Whoops-whoopsie". Damn, this is an epicer crossover than Infinity War.

Used to be a Manager of a Blockbuster: Late fees topped out at $21.97 per movie. So if you rented 3 new releases and were a week late returning them... the fees would be over $60. They were very strict about crediting the fees... I've had people throw movies at me, had one guy try to choke me, and then had someone go on a rampage and knock over the movie racks. Fun times! It was an absolute terrible company and deserves to be bankrupt. Backroom deals with studios: They also would buy license on VHS videos so they would be the only one to supply the movies and the studios would not sell them to the public until months after release. Not returning a new release during this period could result in a fee around $100. Thankful, this practice all went defunct with DVDs and studios releasing them to the public without this period. This was the start of their decline, as it helped loosen their monopoly on movie rentals. Was a fun job in my late teens even with all these shady practices.

How do you get to the Library? Super easy barely an inconvenience...

"And for audiobooks there's audible-" Me: is this sponsored?

i just recently found him, and had been watching his videos, and slowly finding out where these references in the comments are coming from and it's great

Can we just appreciate how they don't have phones, but they somehow have a time machine, I love this show! Plz make more of it George

"It's definitely not OK that you did that." "Whoops!" "Whoopsie!"

2:14 90s guy: "Amazon? Isn't that the book warehouse that ships books?"

These Time Traveling Reporter skits are genius! I was in my thirties during the nineties, and I’m amazed how Ryan understands that decade so well.

I know these two guys from screen rant that look exactly like the guy on this channel! It's super easy barely a coincidence!

The blockbuster joke is funny because it’s actually just way too accurate. Blockbuster refused to take any steps into new technologies until it was too late because they were massively overconfident

If I had a time machine and I was able to bring someone from, say, early 90's to 2022, one of the most fun thing would be to show them a smartphone and explain and demonstrate how it works and witness their utter bewilderment.

I still have a Blockbuster card in my wallet. Once, while trying to buy a bottle or bourbon, the cashier saw the card and laughed, saying, “If you have THAT, then you’re obviously old enough to drink!”

But, I love Netflix. It helps me forget about all the stuff I need to do.

watching these time traveller videos are TIGHT

Wait until he finds out about Disney+

“It hasn’t been a blockbuster year for me financially. My Blockbuster stock is down.” - Michael Scott, 2010.

Blockbuster lasted until 2010!?

Maybe that Blockbuster sponsorship will bring them out of the red... Gulp.

"Do they send you one of those new DeVeDi disks?" "Are you trying to say 'DVD'?" "Oh DVD-DeVeDi Tomato-Tamati" "Half of those are clearly wrong." I died.😂

I'm impressed that he'd even heard of DVDs because while they were developed in 1995, they weren't released until late 1996.

That one dislike is the CEO of Blockbuster Video

I’m so glad screen rant picked you up Ryan you’re amazing

I love the intro lmao "its the 90s *nods*"

When you accidentally say a catch phrase for the wrong show: Whoops-Whoopsie

Where would we be without Ryan George?

This seems eerily familiar....

I love the little VHS tracking noise throughout the video. Nice touch.

The Blockbuster thing at the end was just amazing.

Time traveling reporter guy should bring stuff back from the future

Ryan has stopped loving comments, no loved comments in this entire video. 😪

Ryan we need more of these sir!

Please do more of these they are GOLD. Seriously, three is such a tease.

"de-vee-duh"

This is a brilliant series. There's no end to the things that would seem weird to someone in 1995 that we take for granted today. The only thing that could kill Netflix would be if they hadn't realized all their sources would be deciding to release their own streaming services so they'd need to create their own original content. And they did.

Please do more of these 90s’, I love them.

0:38 "We made a reference to a different series" "Whoops!" "Whoopsie!"

What amazes me is that in 2018 the company credit card from the 90s had not expired.

You are killing it with these.

Been spending my Sunday watching Ryan George youtube videos. A day well spent

Please make more of these! They're brilliant.

Not sure if this has been suggested in any comments on previous videos but this just passed through my medulla oblongata. What if you did a "future is dumb video" talking about youtube and then discussed how you stumbled upon a channel that creates a hilarious pitch meeting series and oddly "the guys in them look exactly like us". Inception level futuring. This realization would obviously be the "holy sh-" moment at the end.

Clearly dvd is pronounced David

"D-V-D, Dividee, tomatoes, tamateee" "Well, half of those were clearly wrong"

One video on my suggestions and now I'm binge watching, you're really good 🤣🤣

This video is tight!

You should do one about Lyft/Uber? Hahaha

I watched the entire playlist, I love this. Please make more.

we need more of the 90's show!!! Awesome work man, keep it up!

You gotta make more of these. I think these might be even better then pitch meetings. The 90's was TIGHT.

Yes please keep doing these I love them!

I binge watched loads of Ryan George during lockdown; how did I miss this one?!!

"it sounds like you might have had a heart attack" "whoops" "whoopsie!"

As always, wonderful writing, acting, editing! I am a fan! Thank you for adding joy to the world! I needed the laugh!

Whoopsie.

“Woopsie” - He said the thing! Saying the thing is tight!

You really need to do more of these.

Love what you do, ryan george! The future is so easy, barely an inconvenience.😂😂😂

Please make more of these These are hilarious!!

I just realized the background for with the blue, black wavy lines, orange rectangles, and pink triangles is the carpet pattern for the Portland airport.

Hey Ryan congratulations on being one of my top 10 favorite youtubers.

Ryan - Congratulations on your success with your various one-man shows! You totally deserve it! They are really clever, funny and intelligent. Great job!

This is great, man.

This series is so hilarious. Thank you for these!

Subscribed..love these

DUUUUUUUDE the way you always play the endings are TIGHT! Wait.. wrong show. Whoopsy! There we go!

Yayy you're back!!

continue making these please, best concept after your pitch meetings

This channel is epic. Thank you for awsome material :)

Man, I don't know why... maybe because I've watched too many PITCH meetings or the fact that RU-vid STARTS to promote your channel for me in the bar on the right, anyway now I know that you have your own channel and it is funny. Congratulations on good content and promotion from RU-vid.)

Blockbuster was tight!

“Sounds like you might have had a heart attack whoopsie whoopsie “😂

He should have mentioned the one open Blockbuster store as a historic landmark.

Anything with Ryan is a must watch for me :D

I got a VHS tape story for you Me and my brother went to a thrift store with my dad and saw VHS tapes I asked him “You know what these are right?” He said “ummm rectangle DVDs.....” I was so disappointed. But also great video

I just discovered your channel its hilarious

I just now realized you have your own channel outside of screen rant. Subbed.

thank you for this content ♡♡ 😆

He forgot to mention the phone also fits in your pocket. I think we were still using flip phones in the 1990s.

Damn, I remember going to Blockbuster’s every week with my dad. It was like my favourite time of the week. Good times 😭

Man 4 years later and the list of streaming services has changed so much lol.

Finally! Another entry in my new favorite series!

Fun fact: There is one Blockbuster store left in Bend, Oregon.

After binge watching your videos for the past 2 days I finally decided to smash the subscribe button and click the bell icon.

2 years later and already half of those video streaming services mentioned have either died or been replaced. Crazy.

Fun fact: an average Blockbuster store had more videos than Netflix does.
