This was like a short film, not more than 20 minutes long I think.



A guy goes into a house, (I forget the motivation for this) and realizes he's in trouble.



Tape from video cassettes starts stalking him, after unwinding (don't remember if we see that specifically). There's one scene where the "bad tape" is locked out of a room by the guy but goes under the carpet to get in (being flat and all).



I think the final scene is the guy getting all wrapped up completely with various additional video cassette tape that joins in the stalking.



It was an odd short film, I remember seeing it a long time ago as a kid, probably mid 80s? Maybe even on HBO?

          This is Recorded Live, a short film made by S.S. Wilson in 1975.



          It was apparently included as a video extra for the Tremors 4 DVD.








          You might wish to note that the film has (recently) spawned a reboot.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
