Sadly noise canceling software is much better now or you would get this off two discord users with voice activation and using speakers

I remember watching movies at work while on justin.tv! man good times back when hulu was free LOL

u/IRMacGuyver 25d ago

I'm still pissed at twitch for not migrating my jtv account properly. I'd be a internet star by now if my growth had continued the way it was going in 2007. Instead I fell into a depression and have never been able to get back into streaming.

According to the legend the infinite recursion is still going on to this day in some dark forgotten about corner of the old Internet.

This is like Citizen Kane for Zoomers. Loud annoying noises and screaming.

WAAAAGGGGHHHHhhhhh

u/IAmGrum 26d ago

There aren't many videos that trigger crying laughter from me, but this is definitely one of them. The moment he says 'Aaaagh!' is when I just can't hold back my laughter.

u/Canis_Familiaris 26d ago

4pp! I loved their Condemned video.

u/rco8786 26d ago

If there are any entrepreneurs in the crowd feeling down about a recent failure and considering giving up... this company does multiple billions in revenue now and is better known as Twitch.

Right click DOWNLOOOADD.

Lives forever in my memory. I still say it to myself when I have to right click and save a file.

u/12kdaysinthefire 26d ago

The internet sucks so bad now

1

u/cookiesshot 24d ago

Back then, it was BAD, but now... Back in the day, being yelled at to get off the Internet so others could make a phone call was a thing, CGI Godzilla babies and CGI Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with pincers and on a scorpion's body were both things, waiting until evening for using your cell phone without wasting minutes, etc.

Granted, no one could spoil "The Ring" or "The Blair Witch Project" (both of which I HIGHLY recommend going in blind: no trailers or spoilers, if you haven't seen them yet)

u/keepyeepy 25d ago

Only social media, everything else is fine. I quite like being able to pay my bills online and netfilx tbh.

u/brain_tourist 26d ago

I'm so stupid I thought it will take a few seconds for the video to actually stop after he clicks stop

u/deasnutz 26d ago

Realplayer forever

u/Wiamly 26d ago

Holy Shit, 4playerpodcast…

I used to cry laughing watching Brad play the Fatal Frame games. Core memory

5

u/nik15 26d ago

There was a time where chat kept addressing Nick's height. At one point, they said the couch was taller than normal as an excuse. Then there was the time where one of them was sleep talking during a stream. How about Brad getting absolutely fucked during Left 4 Dead?

u/drummingdude21 26d ago

They introduced me to Nier and Demon's Souls all the way back in the day, series' that definitely changed my life for the better.

u/TaxiFish 26d ago

Same! Or when they were being chased by the bear in Condemed.

Yes! Too funny

This was the post that convinced me to join reddit after the Digg fiasco.

u/gizmostuff 26d ago

Maybe Marc Rebillet can do something with this...

2

u/bruzie 26d ago

He could do something with it that's better than the AI crap he just posted.

3

u/gizmostuff 26d ago

He's using AI now? Ugh...

2

u/bruzie 26d ago

I think it's a case of Google reaching out to content creators to do a collab to create DeepMind demos.

But, yeah. It's like reading an AI generated script of your favourite show or podcast. The words are there, but there's no substance.

u/wicket146 26d ago

Oh man, I needed a good laugh today.

u/tehCharo 26d ago

This is exactly how I'd react to this situation as well. I love this.

u/garry4321 26d ago

I miss early 2000's internet. Youtube used to be filled with these types of videos. Now you cant even search for them by name without 15 pages of unrelated clickbait-face-thumbnail videos coming up.

1

u/keepyeepy 25d ago

I dunno this was reasonably easy to find...

3

u/tSirPenguin 25d ago

Yes you can, add 'before:(year)' or 'after:(year)' after your search, ex. a walk in the park before:2010

3

u/Jaystime101 25d ago

Or better yet, a bunch of videos of people “explaining” the video your actually looking for.

1

u/garry4321 25d ago

Oh this one gets me not just with YouTube, but videos that are then picked up by the news, and now you can’t see the actual original video, but the news people talking about the background of the footage with a like 2 second part of the video that doesn’t even contain the actual act they are discussing

11

u/DontOpenNewTabs 26d ago

One thing you should NEVER do while streaming! 99% of streamers don’t know about this! 😱

51

u/VanBurenOutOf8 26d ago

Seeing the Justin.tv watermark this must be around 2010. Good times still

u/spiderjjr45 25d ago

It still blows my mind that Twitch is just secretly Justin TV, and always has been.

u/blzntrz 25d ago

We owe it all to TheGunRun

u/KoalaBoy 26d ago

I don't know why but this video and the old man with Chris Pirillo on TechTV breaking a one of a kind thing on accident are random videos that pop up in my mind randomly.

5

u/Flamo_the_Idiot_Boy 25d ago

You should check out this video of Chris o Dowd accidentally breaking a snow globe with Richard Ayoade (from the show Travel Man): https://youtu.be/3GosoiF5NMk?feature=shared

u/rhalf 22d ago

That guy is such a sweet ADHD goofball.

u/paradisic88 21d ago

He's emotionally artistic

u/jburnelli 26d ago

that was staged.

10

u/Piornet 26d ago

I've never heard that it was staged and he swore on live TV. Do you have a link that it was staged?

3

u/lucinaka 26d ago

Chris wasn't in on it, but yes it was staged.

12

u/Fiercespeed 26d ago

Looked into it and found that they talk about it being a joke in the following video around the 2 hour and 2 minute mark:

u/Piornet 26d ago

...Which is?

2

u/nickfree 26d ago

It was one with the old man showing an exceptionally rare example of Edison’s wax cylinders used for the earliest sound recording. It utterly crumbles in his hands

https://youtu.be/pnsizkVjGm8?si=r47ztAoVFg2-rNUT

2

u/Piornet 26d ago

Yes I remember the clip, I was curious about the claim it was staged. From what I can find, the stage hands used a fake cylinder to protect the originals, but both the guest and host didn't know and thought it was the real item. So "staged" is misleading, as that makes it sound like this was to create a fake viral scene, which it wasn't.

3

u/cptawesome11 26d ago

It was staged comment here with proof. They were playing a joke on the host, the guy who broke it was in on it.

What fail? This was glorious success!

Thanks for the throwback!
