The '''"XL ProTime VHS/VCR Player"''' is the brand of [[Wikipedia:Videocassette recorder|Videocassette recorder]] that appears in various [[toons]] and was first seen in [[Strong Bad Email]] [[12:00]]. The mechanical issues such as tracking problems, visible vertical rainbow, and the ubiquitous blinking 12:00 are a running joke. It is usually seen on top of the [[Telebision]].
