Oddity Archive Season 3
The Oddity Archive is a web series that revolves around the "cultural dustbin", especially as it pertains to media. The Archive also functions as an actual archive of sorts, with a modest collection of off-air Betamax and VHS recordings (about 400 total as of June, 2014). There's also a decent collection of ephemeral video, "ripoff" and "drugstore" LP's/cassettes/8-tracks, as well as (working) obsolete technology.

Oddity Archive Season 3 Full Episode Guide
The Archive has been deemed obsolete. Irony noted.
boxes Boxes. BOXES!!!
It's a computer! It's a home video unit! It's a video game console! It's...a little underdeveloped.
An (unintentional) almost-three years in the making...
Every now and then we get to thinkin' you'd like to hear somethin' from us done nice and easy. Well, lemme tell ya, we don't do NOTHIN' "nice and easy"...
How many times do I have to tell you, China Cabinet? The money is NOT in the fishtank!
Because, you know, VIDEOcassette board games went so well...
Q: y u no duvide gams? A: Because I'm not that kind of girl--er, wait. Did you mean "Video Games"? I guess...
Maybe all those DuMont jokes in all the 50's-centric Archive episodes will make sense now. Maybe.
Ladies' man that Ben and Ed are, they didn't really need this. This is really for all the lonely folks (especially the guys) that watch the Archive.
You asked, we gave. $683.43 will now be added to your next phone bill.
After being asked all year about what Ben thinks the next generation of oddities will be, a New Year's special seemed to be in order (somehow).
This episode is dedicated to----you, Amber.
And welcome to the Oddity Archive, the show that isn't afraid to piss off VHS fetishists.
Ben reviews the Archive (and then the world imploded).
Well, that only took a year-and-a-half to follow through with another Local TV installment. No, this wasn't painful at all.
Test-driving a new, potential recurring concept, "Archive Wares". The idea is to look at items from the golden age of infomercials ('80's through early 2000's) and their ads and/or tutorial videos. Given that it's Halloween, it seemed only natural to discuss the most nightmare-inducting product sold via infomercials: the "Rejuvenique Facial Toning System".
This year's (apparently now requisite) Halloween album review. This was actually meant to be just a minisode, but it ran really long. Consider it a "bonus" Archive episode.
The most headache-inducing Archive episode to date. Guaranteed.
WARNING: This episode is coated in a new, ultra high-tech substance that may cause colorful sparks to emit from your computer. Also, <<
For all the time we've spent with this format, a full look at it (and its offshoots) seemed only natural.
Is there really such a thing as too much LaserKaraoke? Let's find out with this special double (if not triple) length episode!
Copying this video may cause your computer to randomly burst into flames. The Archive assumes no liability.
We've only just begun...to hurt.
Another existential crisis in Archive-land? Get your head out of your ass, Benny boy! NOTE: If viewing this episode on a Pioneer VP-1000 unit (Serial #'s: 12467-21804), please turn your frame display function to the ON position.
So much for taking a break...
