Kyle Mooney Shows Off His Epic '80s and '90s VHS Collection

In the movie, you watch "Brigsby Bear" on VHS.
-Yes. -You are -- In real life,
you have an obsession with VHS.
-I love videocassette tapes, and I collect them.
-You do collect them.
This is a real photo of your collection of VHS tapes.
-Yes. -Yeah.
There you go. [ Light laughter ]
-Somebody was like, "Wow!" -Well, I think they said "wow"
because they don't quite know what it means
that a person -- -Well, I like they're like --
I kind of got, like, a gangster look over here.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-Yeah, No, I'm especially into children's tapes
from the '80s and '90s.
-And you brought some. -I did bring some.
-This is you -- This is a bag you actually brought them in.
[ Laughter ]
And so I'm going to pull a few out,
and if you can just tell me a little
about each of these tapes. -I would love to.
-Okay, there you go. You can -- There you go.
-Okay, so we got, uh, "Prayer Bear," uh, volume 3.
This is "A Time to Pray."
And for those of you who don't know "Prayer Bear,"
he's an animatronic bear... -Uh-huh.
-...who helps you to learn when is the right time to pray.
He loves spumoni ice cream.
I don't know, you can maybe see.
I don't know if you can see any of that,
but he's just a really fun guy to have around.
-Yeah. [ Laughter and applause ]
This seems like a different guy than Prayer Bear,
which is Mr. Nasty. -Okay -- Mr. -- Ew, boo!
-[ Laughing ] Boo, boo!
[ Laughter ]
So what does Mr. Nasty do?
-Well, Mr. -- This is a fascinating video
because Mr. Nasty speaks directly to you.
He talks to the camera, and he just insults you.
-Uh-huh. -That's the whole video,
is just him telling you that he doesn't like you.
-Really? -Yeah.
-And it's an actor who plays Mr. Nasty?
-No, I think it's the actual Mr. Nasty.
-Oh, it's like a cartoon? -No, no, it's a human.
-Okay, gotcha. I see. -Yeah, yeah. [ Laughs ]
-This one seems creepy immediately.
-Okay, similarly, yeah, this is --
[ Audience groans ]
This is "Video Girlfriend."
And, yeah, this is another one where -- where you --
you're the character. You're interact--
How -- How do I describe this? [ Laughter ]
You're on a date with this woman.
-Uh-huh. -And so the perspective is
just you. The camera is your eyes.
-Got it. -Yeah, okay.
And let's just say that things end up going pretty well.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Um, this one -- Yeah, I don't --
I have no sense of what this could possibly be.
-"Nathaniel the Grublet." -The Grublet?
-Seth, well, you got to know about the Grublets.
[ Laughter ] -I don't know.
Just know, before you start, I know nothing about the Grublets.
-Okay, the Grublets are -- I think they're a family.
-Okay. -And they -- they take junk
and they turn it into nice things.
-Okay. -And Nathaniel the Grublet is --
he's the focus of this story.
-[ Laughs ]
-He's seemingly played by, like, a 40-something woman.
[ Laughter ]
And there's that big -- He's got a big dog friend.
-Have you watched it? -Oh, yeah, I love it.
-Okay. [ Laughter ]
Its kind of got these religious undertones,
but they don't...
-A lot of your tapes have religious undertones,
because I'm going to guess that Bible Man also...
[ Laughter ]
-I think there's some Bible Man fans here.
-Yeah, they are. -Yes.
Yes, that's religious, too. [ Laughter ]
-Thank you so much for bringing these videotapes.
-Yeah. -I'm so excited.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Um, and --
-And if anyone wants to come over and watch those,
come -- I live in the West Village.
-And do you still have a -- Do you have a VHS player?
-I've got a dual VCR-DVD combo. -That's great.
-Thanks. -So when was --
Well, I wasn't being, you know...
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, I guess it is pretty cool.
-Man, thanks for being here. Congrats on the movie.
-Oh, thanks for having me.
-Congrats on the great season of "SNL."
So awesome to see you, buddy. -Thanks, Seth.
-Kyle Mooney, everybody!
