The internet used to scream in agony every time you woke it.
Sometimes it was busy and you’d have to phone back.
We should have listened
And there was a creepy 3D dancing baby
Did that originate on Ally McBiel or was that a thing prior that was adopted by the show?
No, it was from 3DS max studio.
It was one of the first viral videos, I remember getting it via email from my father’s friend (on the family’s email account before Hotmail)
Since it was a max file people started modifying the dancing steps so there were many variations and it became very popular to the point that it appeared in Ally Mcbeal
Too many pixels in the screensaver version, more like: https://youtu.be/-5x5OXfe9KY
Eventually it gave in to the horror and now suffers in silence.
Yeah it was all Mechanicus style.
Phones didn’t have cords but they couldn’t leave the house
Range extenders = very long cord.
It was actually a peak fidget accessory
They make guitar cables that are wound like this and they’re low key the best imo because they basically never get tangled
These ones used to get tangled all the time though. Then they’d get a weird U shaped kink when you tried to fix it.
Guitar cables or phone? Because I think the former are thicker, so I haven’t had that issue
Here’s an old memory of mine relating to this.
It was rough, you had to brave the Acid Rains while patching the Ozone Layer.
So, I was thinking that the original joke was in a peanut brittle can, which got me to look it up. This prank has a Wikipedia page! Apparently, the original prank was in a jam jar.
That’s how they used to spice it up until the market fell out of the snakes-in-cans business.
How’s the chewing gum/mouse trap game? I assume the click-pen/grill starter gag ate into sale of those too.
Man that is a Wikipedia page desperately in need of a video, or at least some images.
Lol nobody could come up with a better name than “snake nut can”?
it’s a snake. in a nut can. you do better.
I don’t remember who had one, my grandma probably, that thing can go in so many places…
Bzoiiing!!!
the snake nut can is one of the only practical jokes ive ever successfully deployed
I bet you could successfully deploy a fart machine.
i would never. except for the natural one, that one is deployed always
Lil bubby child is the best. Channel is here https://youtube.com/@lilbubbychild
When I saw this I instantly started doing southern accents because of that account xD Hilarious videos indeed.
Every morning the sky would blink and it was our one rule that we would look up and ululate until our throats grew sharp, but it’s not really fashionable to bring up since the split
Kids wanted to get up early on a Saturday, because that’s when the best cartoons came on.
I used to get up so early on Saturdays that the test pattern was still on, and that’s a whole topic of conversation unto itself.
I remember when before every channel didn’t have programmes on all day (in the UK, so only four channels at the time). I used to watch nature footage with classical music played over it on BBC2 which was put on as a filler. Loved that. Now it’s all repeats and mindless daytime TV crud.
I don’t remember, besides the atmosphere being far more enjoyable, and xmas not feeling fake.
I also got to see Michael Jackson die, and the world go to hell far before I was an adult.
I still have one of these from when I was a kid pranking my parents. Except it looks like such a dumb old can no one could possibly fall for it now unless then were a toddler.
You could give it to your kid and “get pranked” too.
I did give it to my youngest for a bit along with all my old prank stuff I had in storage, but they got bored with pranking me/us after about a week. This was a few years ago, so I’ll probably finally get rid of some of that stuff.
open an antique store just for the joke.
problem solved.
Goatse
No way that was in the 90s. Was it??
Yeah it’s pre-9/11
Lol I just showed this to my 20 year old daughter who once asked me this in the car when she was like six.
Pretty sure those prank items still exist.
Prank?
Those were real vipers dude.
Back when pranks were funny.
Human Squidbillies
Squidbillies was so good. Sucks that Unknown Hinson wasn’t acting when he played Early, he was just an actual piece of shit.
Yep it turned out he was really too well suited for the role, but too stupid to keep his racism quiet.
Sometimes you’d eat your morning cereal and there was a peanut inside of the cereal.
