Does Bart Simpson know what a VCR is?

The Simpsons have been going on since the 90s, the VCR heavy era and they operate on some sort of sliding timeline where the characters have internet and smartphones now, despite not really aging. Some episodes retcon Homer and Marge to having met in the 90s instead of the 60s or 70s and whatnot.

Since nowadays a lot of people like to make jokes about the younger generation not knowing what technology from our day is, have they ever made a joke about Bart or someone seeing a VHS tape or a cassette tape and saying 'what the hell are those?'

I remember an episode of Garfield had the entire running gag be about nobody knowing what a record was, which felt weird to me since I don't think, at the time, it's been that long since records stopped being a thing. The TMNT CBS had a similar joke where Michelangelo thought a record was a really burnt puzza where just a few years back the turtles had a record player in their first live action movie.
