Who remember the music video channel The Box?

spa ced · 06-26-2003, 02:47 AM

What videos were you guilty of ordering?
I remember ordering a Cranberries & a Weezer (Say It Aint So)video.
I even think I ordered Live's I Alone

So what did you pay to see? Fess up now.

man i miss all those hoochie videos like "get naked" and "one leg up" and 2 live crew videos.

stumpycat · 06-26-2003, 03:08 AM

I never ordered one. But I do remember that everyone else was ordering the hoochie videos, and that stupid Easy-E interview or whatever the hell it was. The Box was actually my first major exposure to the Smashing Pumpkins, though. I also remember wanting to hear the KMDFM songs Juke Box Jezebel and especially the one they did for the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. Someone was always playing that Wheezer video "Buddy Holly", too.

Ihaman · 06-26-2003, 03:19 AM

this girl had a crush on me and would always order whatever i wanted her to.

so i used her.

Rima · 06-26-2003, 03:24 AM

I only ordered once or twice.. and it was for TLC videos.

I was a huuuugggeee TLC fan

"Hat 2 Tha Back" and I don't remember if I ordered it again cuz I missed to record it, or it might have been for another video of theirs... I remember

Nah, usually the box would play a few standard choices when nobody was ordering (which was often). Also, I know a lot of the smaller rap labels paid for people to call and constantly order their videos; that's why you'd see so many booty videos and weird small things like "College Girls Are Easy" all the damn time.

I never ordered anything, but I learned a lot about ghetto culture from The Box; music television Booty Bass controlled!

i never had that shit.

pale blue eyes · 06-26-2003, 07:22 AM

I had it but I hardly ever ordered videos. I do remember ordering the Deftones' Change when it first came out because I always managed to miss it. When they had their special flashback weekends I would order older Pumpkins or whoever videos. My brother used to order that Juvenile video (Back that Ass Up?) all the time to see all that booty though.

DeviousJ · 06-26-2003, 08:27 AM

I think half the music channels I have are call-and-request ones

Me neither. I didn't even know how cable worked. It was this strange, mysterious thing.

Wait, was it even cable? See, I'm still an ignorant fuckhead.

ava transformer · 06-26-2003, 08:56 AM

i never ordered anything, but the jordy, lambada & carmen eclectra videos were popular.

debaser has a video tape with all the hoochie videos, including both versions of hammer's "pumps in a bump":erm

I used to love the box. I never ordered anything though, just watched what other people ordered - and that was the first time I ever saw manson and he scared me. For some reason I was just really creeped out by that video where he's acting like he's willy wonka - and that was always, always playing on the box.

sickbadthing · 06-26-2003, 10:34 AM

MTV bought it and killed it.

The first time I watched The Box was back in mid-1995 or early 1996, I think. Big-up to booty videos at Grandma's house.

But seriously, I didn't even know that The Box existed until she made the mistake of telling me what appalling trash was shown on the channel. Then I positively couldn't stay away from it.

murgle · 06-27-2003, 09:50 PM

I got in so much trouble ordering shit on The Box. I don't remember what I ordered, but I'm sure it was all crap. I can vaguely remember what one of the videos I always ordered LOOKED like, but I can't remember who it was or what the song was.

Geek USA · 06-27-2003, 10:00 PM

gah, I didn't like the box! :\
