Apes-A-Poppin' VHS

"Bart: I rented all of your favorite gorilla movies. Gorilla Squadron, Gorilla Island VI..."
"Homer: Apes-A-Poppin'! Ooh, the airline version!"

Apes-A-Poppin'

This is a uniquely made VHS replica of Apes-A-Poppin', the fictional movie from The Simpsons. This is the tape that Bart rents in the episode "Homer Simpson in: Kidney Trouble" (S10E08), arguably one of the last great episodes of the show's golden era. This is apparently Homer's favorite gorilla movie, a very specific subgenre he is a fan of. The entire box actually pays tribute to the surprisingly long tradition of ape-themed jokes in The Simpsons, from the Planet of the Apes musical to the "blurst of times" gag.

This box and the labels were designed to be identical to a real life VHS release for an actual movie that is loosely based on the actual musical Hellzapoppin'. The cover is 100% screen accurate to what is seen in The Simpsons. The box also includes tons of hidden references to the show. The description on the back, the credits, even the copyright warning, and more all tie back to Simpsons jokes. It's a cool piece of memorabilia to have on the shelf or give as a gift to a fellow Simpsons fan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's actually on the tape?
A: It's a mystery! The tapes are all repurposed VHS, so there could be anything on there. It could be a copy of Beauty and the Beast or just a random episode of Home Improvement that someone taped off TV in 1994. You won't know until you pop it into a VCR.

Q: Do you ship to my country?
A: Yes! We offer shipping worldwide. For orders outside the US, I have tried to make it affordable as possible, but shipping is more cost effective with larger orders.

Q: How long does it take to ship?
A: Shipping is through USPS Priority Mail. Tapes are typically shipped within 2-3 days of placing your order. In the US, priority mail typically takes 1-3 business days to arrive. Outside the US, delivery time varies considerably. You should receive an email with tracking information when your order is shipped.

Q: How many monkey butlers will there be?
A: One at first, but he'll train others.
