Everybody knows that Batman Returns, Jurassic Park, and Titanic had no previews on the tape, so I like to ask you which tapes did you rented, you have, or you don't have that contained absolutely no previews before the film?

        How in the world can anyone remember? I don't think most people have that sort of thing stored in their memory bank.

          Funny enough, I seem to remember Robin Hood Prince of Thieves not having previews. It struck me as weird even at a young age.

            The Muppet videos made by Playhouse Video had no previews at the beginning.

              Exactly. Sony Wonder re-released the aforementioned videos with previews intact (including the Elmopalooza VHS I have in my VHS collection).

                  Except for a Diet Coke commercial that was definitely shown before the film.

                    I can confirm that my childhood copy that was bought shortly after it was released priced to own, definitely did not have any advertising. In fact it starts really quickly after very brief still shots of the FBI warning and the WB Home Video logo, as if the movie's runtime was a tight fit on the length of tape.

                    You can see the opening here:

                    The version with ads might have been on a later run of the VHS? Or possibly the rental version?

                      Yeah, it's Yuuki. Got a problem with that?

                        I am getting a screener VHS of The Princess Diaries (2001) with no previews in the near future.
