The internet is old.

Ever wish that the internet were still as exciting and befuddling as it was when videos like this were made? Sometimes I miss the sound of a modem dialing in.

I hate to believe it, but I think the 90s might have been worse than the 80s.

Why is an impossibly young Steve Buscemi giving a list of cool newsgroups?

BAM

filmscience said...

I'm going to go out on a limb here - and posit that the chunky geek explaining emoticons is pure genius. Assuming he's also the fellow loudly repeating "SPAM", I think he is a modern master of performance poetry.

But everyone else in the video is a douche.

Steve Buscemi hasn't always been famous you know.

I'm actually very impressed by how nerdy this video is. Honestly, have any of these ever mentioned lynx before? Spam? Had aqua hair?

Those grunge chicks were hot!

I nerdily suspect our large friend with the emoticons was quoting Monty Python.
Also "winky." Hee hee.

I miss hanging out in the library surfing the interwebs with all the hot/creepy social rejects. You may think I'm joking, but that's where I was.

(Wants an mp3 of the "Spam Spam Spam" to play all day.)

holy shit! the "here's a list of cool news groups" guy at 1:25 is Trent Haaga from Troma's Egde TV, Terror Firmer, Citizen Toxie, and probably more Tromatic Troma Movies!

Rad!

Way to cut off Comic Book Guy before he can get to the punchline of "Baked beans and spam."

Heather said...

Ah...I miss the good ol' days when the internet was just a giant wall of text (barfy).

Jared Arnold said...

I like the way you cut this up.

theawkwardchild said...

Ah, those were the days, when checking your email at the table while you're out with your friend wasn't seen as extremely obnoxious and rude. Good times.

That chest hair gave me a headache. Smoochy.

Oh, the stories I could tell you about making this video...

(I wrote the script for the instructional parts - the actual "using the internet" parts - and I'm the "instructor" in the video - the blonde in the burgundy sweater with the glasses)

Dawn, Nice to see you weighing in after all these years.

12GA. said...

Thanks for the tip o' the hat. Now I'd want to see the cover art.
