You might think that things have changed over the years, but I was around in 1995 and I can assure you this looked exactly as ridiculous then as it does now.

According to certain Christian sects, if you don't believe in a god but still live a good and moral life, you'll spend eternity as a side character in the Windows 95 video guide.

The sect near me says heaven is finding out what’s at the end of the Windows 95 maze screensaver.

That’s what happened to Boris. Poor Boris

Sad that Mathew Perry died.

Actually impressive that acting in this POS wasn't what killed him.

Oh I definitely remember this. Completely forgot about it

I could not make it through much of it, but I can certainly confirm that it has Windows 95 in perhaps it's greatest acting performance of it's career.

Getting uncomfortably close to the Seinfeld bass riff @ 1:58

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a synthesizer! I only found out last week when my bass playing coworker corrected me.

Wow, it's pretty shocking that they would allow themselves to be seen in something this terrible. I guess this was before Friends had taken off.

It's been so long since I used Windows 95 that I forgot it looked like that. I thought it was Windows 3.1 at first, but that was even more primitive!

Should I mention it?

!Its Cringe!<
