why in God’s name would you listen to someone in sales? i would take great delight in telling anyone in sales to go fuck themselves if they ever told me how to do my job.
As someone who was a network / server tech for over a decade. This thing has always had a special place in my heart. It was funny when I first saw it because of the absurdity. It was funny later in my career because I had lost all fucks and became just like him.
I remember this one
You can’t arrange by penis
Dude…you always reboot it 3 times
So many memories :’)
Logs into the IMAP server and deletes the email.
I love it!
Man this brings me back! Love this.
Never realized it was a series
One of the best early internet videos
If they made this series today everything would be in the cloud and no one would really have much control to fix anything.
OMG you’re moving my mouse!
Hey! Webdude!
Reminds of the You suck at Photoshop series.
What’s your password?
“a”
Just a?
WOAHHH. I haven’t seen these videos in ages!
“Um, you can’t organize by penis”
she changed her last name from “Johnson” to “Johnson-Johnson”?
That’s it I am rearranging my desktop
An absolute ICON of internet and IT culture. These videos were published and were shown to me my first week in IT.
The other videos are pretty good too.
Lady puts in user name change request after getting married:
“Wait, you’re changing your last name from Johnson to Johnson-Johnson?”
When I saw this as a kid I thought the sales guy was the dumb one.
Now I realize that the admin is truly the dumb one.
Restarting an entire server based on the sole request of a user you already know is computer-illiterate? That’s a résumé-generating event.
I was a jr admin when this came out and it really accurately captured the day to day..
“Reboot the server”
“File a change request”
“I don’t have time”
“ITIL”
*click*
wow BoingBoing. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Back during the golden age of the internet. Back when every dumbass in the world didn’t have a computer or access to the Iinternet
Fun fact, my current boss is one of the people in this video! When he first told us, I was floored, but sure enough, his name is in the credits.
The one thing about early internet memes was the use of high pitched voices. Otherwise I miss this time so fucking hard.
This is a great video, but I so wish it was in higher resolution. It’s just so blurry to watch.

Episode three is my favorite… How do you think I made it 30 years in IT… Fake virus attack
So glad I got out of IT. Still hilarious though.
Yes! This deserves a revival. There’s a level of choreography and comedy timing that the best comedy writers would be proud of. And it’s tight.
There were always talks of further episodes; so sad we never saw more.
I’ve been in the field for 15 years and never seen this.
This is amazing lmfao
I watch this yearly to remind me of simpler times ( I am a web designer since 1997). So funny. Some of this still happens today…
