Mr Tape has not been rewound, so it hits close to his soul. You will watch the previews. Resistance is subject to being fined.
My grandmother had a small little machine that sat next to the VCR whose only function was to rewind tapes. That was all it could do. It was shaped like a little car and when you put the tape into it and it started running, the headlights would come on. She would take a tape out of the VCR, which could also rewind tapes, and rewind them in this little machine instead. That she paid money for.

I tried to point out the silliness to her once and she said that rewinding tapes in the VCR can ruin the machine, and I was like "Gram, if rewinding a tape can ruin the VCR then why did they put a rewind button on it?" But she insisted that using the VCR to rewind tapes wears the machine out. I'll tell you what though, that little rewinder ruined more than one old tape, because it was so fast and had so much torque that when it reached the end it could rip the leader right off the spool.

When I worked in a video store, we just charged their account a buck.

1) Rewinding with the race car is fun (I had one you young punk, *shakes my cane, notices I do not have a cane, buys a cane, shakes it*);
2) Taking the tape out and putting it somewhere else, to rewind or otherwise, allowed me (and presumably your grandmother) to put in another tape into the VCR so she could continue watching porn . . . I mean movies.
