I can't believe this guy held off on publishing these videos for 30 years. I would have loved to watch these growing up.
The Wide World of Web wasn’t ready for these revelations yet
I can't believe OperaGX was so ahead of its time
@@Bankoru and they say the internet makes you dumber!
through magic of time travel he has been using browser of future as well.
This would have been so useful when I was younger...
but what if my boss IS my buddy from a hentai forum?
Then you work as a hentai forum admin
Then you won't have this problem, as your boss is a man of culture who clearly isn't an atavistic throwback to Australopithecus and similar apelike pre-humans with barely a third of the cranial space of a normal human, nor the recipient of a hastily performed lobotomy done by a medical school dropout drunk on bathtub moonshine with the rusty claw end of his grandfather's hammer, and will thus understand the difference between affect and effect.
Then politely ask him to provide the sauce.
Then he definitely ought to know better! Effect positive change by anonymously sharing juicy comments from said forum with HR trolls. This should affect your situation positively.
@@slacknhash A man of culture is expected to be free of social or grammatical patterns..
Man, that "be a Team Player" line was so spot-on.
Whenever you hear that, there's a good chance you're on the *Losing* "Team."
Seems like everyone else at my hotel had some catered Subway for lunch today. Cookies and all.
I work nights, so fuck me I guess. I just get to throw away all the trash. Go team!
Smithers is such a standup guy, even after the whole debacle he went ahead and recommended his former boss to a job, showing that there are no hard feelings between them.
Luckily, self service kiosks haven't been invented yet 🍟
It’s *debaucle.
@@trishugnishIt’s debottle
@@trishugnish No it isn't, you're mixing that up with debauchery.
@@bruceh4180 It's spelled "koisk" you worhtless moran!
i love how his responses just become more and more unhinged as the video progresses
And each video starts off sane.
That's how the channel goes, my man, and it's amazing.
@@dudeguybro It's like the Huggbees of 80's-90's VHS Home Video's
I felt his responses were perfectly merited. His boss didn't want to hear that he was wrong and threatened to involve HR if he didn't obey. After obtaining further clarity explaining his boss most likely didn't pass the 8th grade, HR stepped in and immediately sided with the boss while simultaneously divulging that her education was equally subpar.
It's almost like the natural thematic progression of storytelling! And your punctuation is garbage.
Something I really do enjoy in your videos is when you point out someone's poor grammar. It makes me smile. "Absolute grammatical molestation" is a term I will use from now on.

Love that effectionate comment! :)
This is the first video where smithers genuinely starts out in the right tbh, having your boss make an incorrect change submission on the thirty eighth revision and be stubborn about it would be enough to drive any man mad
I think the best solution would be to change “affect” to “have a positive effect on.”
I can't blame this guy, his boss was wrong
He could have just told his boss to check on Encarta lol.
@@Wasserkaktus But it wouldnt have had the same EFFECT
Janice, the HR rep, was also wrong. 🤭
You got me at A: Report to HR you're being harassed grammatically.
The funniest part is that orthography is not even part of grammar.
@@AnMComm Debatable, seems to me like the boss is confusing the senses of the words not their spellings
its satire and real at the same time. he just flows and is in full control of his video and amazing presenting skills (he 4sure read a book on it systematically before producing the video)

@@idehenebenezer802 idk man seems like an HR troll lied to you
When any creator on RUclips can *actually* make me watch their sponsored ad, you know they're damn funny.
I watched the video twice and I watched through the add both times. It actually ads to the video and isn’t annoying at all.
literally if ads are part of the act i love it and its all good. a bit like some ads Tim dillon gets to make sometimes!

JESUS IS COMING SOON. REPENT TODAY AND TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SINS🙏🙏🙏.
Time is running out😢😢
@@idehenebenezer802 is that you Smithers?
At 3:10, Smithers himself uses the word "EFFECTS" incorrectly in "Negatively EFFECTS Smithers" (I'm probably not the first to point this out). It should be "AFFECTS" because it's used as a verb -- same as "Dildo up ass AFFECTS Nimesh" (which is correct). Here's a sample replacement: "This has a negative EFFECT on Smithers". Glad to be of help!
had the same thought...and then realized that the mistake is most likely intentional, as the protagonist is an anti hero and prone to hubris. theres also the possibility that your correction is tongue in cheek. its a comedy maze!
@@noahyes i've been stuck in this maze for days. i ran out of water. my phone is at 2%.

It's hilarious when he turns back towards his computer with that stiff posture and psychotic smile. Gets me every time!
That psycho smirk does it. So clean cut and totally evil.
You're correct sir. Touching a woman is about the same as sending off a good email.
from the mail post to the mailbox the golden web.
How do you know that?
Not true. Sending a good email is far better than sex.
I've never sent a good email. 😢
Yeah I've never hit the "e-spot" if you will use some rather NSFW parlance
6:29 I love the attention to detail. Malware in the 90s and early 2000s used to have the .TXT.vbs extensions because Windows would hide vbs extensions by default. So the user would see it as a text file, but it would execute as a Visual Basic script. Malware also commonly spread through mass emails such as the ILOVEYOU virus, which worked just like the malware in this video.
I saw that and lost my shit lol
I swear 90s Windows was TRYING to get viruses
@@No_True_Scotsman Windows to this day still hides file extensions. The only thing that's changed are browsers which warn you when downloading executable files.
you can turn that off in the file manager and I reccomend everyone does @@benedani9580
That is even still a thing until recently. "Show file extensions" is your friend said the guy in IT but nobody listened and now they all have no computer anymore.
I love the friendly, deadpan tone as he savagely roasts everyone he works with.
Never before have I felt so adamantly on SkyCorp's side. Bosses who refuse to accept that can be wrong, even with small matters, really effects me.
Affects you
It's amazing how awful my boss's incorrect use of commas can make each day.
@@Uarehere better than his incorrect use of colons
@@Friderikasoh right
The way he turns around with that psychotic expression ,hilarious and also it takes me back 😂
I love it when he does that
wdym "psychotic"? this is the look of an ambitious, motivated and productive man on his way to success.
Yea his expression and dead eyed stare really sells it. I love it lol
Every English class teaching the difference between Affect and Effect needs to watch this.
To be fair, depending on their ambitions effect could actually be correct in this context. Effect is occasionally a verb, for example I have effected this comment.
@@JulianSildenLanglo Is it pronounced differently when used as a verb? There are so few situations where "effect" is a verb that I thought maybe it would.
In the drawing where it reads “negatively effects Smithers” he is ‘himself incorrect so perhaps not.
@@reginaldforthright805 Yes, it's either "It negatively affects him" or "it has a negative effect on him"
@@Iterator_SRS Yep. If it "negatively effected him", that would mean it negatively brings him into existence. Smithers needs to spend more time on hentai forums (the bastions of the intellectual elite) to learn proper English.
This reminds me of something I've done numerous times before. If I'm angry at somebody at work and I'm sending an email communication, I write it out exactly how I want to say to get it off my chest, and then go back through it and edit it to a work appropriate message. It's therapeutic, but be warned, you need to make sure you don't hit 'send' on accident in it's honest form.
Gotta draft it in word or a blank email 😂
Instant post on my linked-in. Obviously got zero to none reactions, but quite a lot impressions, so people saw it. Honestly makes me feel good to share something like this in midst of all the corporate bullshit over there. They cannot take joke. Amazing video, great humor. Never stop doing this.
Braver man than I
a true masterclass, down to the aggressively passive aggressive cc'ing of people unrelated to the situation
Better than hitting reply all
@@someaccount5200 It actually starts a reply-all storm if you do it right! Beautiful, when you think about it. And still relevant 25+ years later.
😂😂😂
CCing people who the original reciever doesn't want seeing the communication is absolutely classy behavior.
@@Yugemos Always be a team player and always communicate openly and transparently.
This is a group effort 🥳
Dear Smithers,
Your tips on email etiquette have really helped me at my new job! In no time, I was promoted to a role where the government pays me a wage, and I don't even have to go into the office! My life and career have been very positively effected by this tutorial.
P.S., I haven't seen you on the hentai forums in a while. Is that cult business still keeping you busy?
*Online roleplay business
What an effectionate comment! :)
It's written terribly, though.
dear colin,
i would love too share an alternate perspective on this topic.
frankly i find this video appalling, as it is effecting my mental state and forced me into paying more money to the government!
oh i wish if there were a video on how to prevent such atrocity. an evasion tactic of some kind.
hot regards
big dick boss man
@@cbhlde You have trouble rubbing braincells together buddy? It's *affectionate.
I was already cackling like a madman the very SECOND I saw the hilarious visual basic script file, and labeled hamfistedly in all caps lock as ".TXT" in the title. CLASSIC. The caps lock was a nice touch, though: like some kind of big Acme dynamite barrel hilariously labeled "Definitely Not Dynamite", lmao 😂.
This was truly a professional tutorial. It would have been much easier to get Paul to dig up some dirt on Nimesh's family to blackmail him with, but Smithers O'Neil show us that it's better to take the high road to improve the grammar of your coworkers, no matter the cost.

“The employee’s identity was discovered to be an alias…” Loose ends. Tied. Well played, Smithers.
Heh I liked when Smithers gets 'effects' wrong in his drawing. Like he stopped caring about getting it right at this point and just wanted to draw his boss like that.
His mistake was making me question myself.
I love how smooth you transition to ads. Thank you for your precious lessons, Smithers O'Neal! It really effects my understanding of human communication.

Smithers O'Neil would be my childhood friend that I've always been slightly scared of
I love these because they're not far from the training videos we watched on the 90's.
I like to use to really emphasise my "regards" with different adjectives.
"Tepid regards" is by far my favourite
Tepid means like lukewarm though.
My barely above room temperature regards!
@@humphreybumblecuck5151 precisely. I use it when I'm sending a more contemptuous email.
Gets the message across, but not impolite.
My clammy regards to you.
@@humphreybumblecuck5151 I know what Tepid means. I did reply before but for some reason it was scrubbed.
I don't use "Tepid regards" because I think it's something nice. I use it when I want to insult people.
Little tip I'm English. We invented the language. If you want some advice on veiled insults and back handed compliments while I'm here just ask.....
@@humphreybumblecuck5151 ALL of my replies are being scrubbed. I'm not even using bad words. Nothing wrong with them....
I know what Tepid means.
"Ambient regards" is a much more effective way to say "room temperature regards".
You kinda missed the target there..

No joking this is one of the best english speaking channels that I found since I started watching videos in english
It can be a nightmare dealing with marketing and HR. This video is cathartic.
The knowledge Smithers O'Neil drops on these tapes are second to none.
3:34 incredible how Opera knew about Hulu back then!!
isn't skycorp amazing?
@@paulmark992 I don't know. I think it's a little bit on the pornography-condoning side of humanity. And as we all know, pornography is dangerous to the mind of mere humans.
Oh it’s not a problem, it takes 45 minutes to download a file on my 56K modem anyway!
I was going to comment on how creepy it was Smithers was looking at Sailor Moon porn as i believe all of the girls in that show are underage, but i was relieved to find the added "big booty" tag. Obviously wanting to drink a high schoolers bath water is perfectly fine if she has a big booty! The big booty negates the rest! Glad I was patient enough to get the whole story!
@@paulmark992 totally!!
I am deeply and thoroughly in love with Smithers. His adoration of grammar parallels my own. I am forever grateful for his excellent advice on etiquette.
5:53 That sentence is grammatically correct, and says that your behavior is bringing about productivity and team morale. Way to go!
This... should have more likes.
You know your email is truly well written when you get an invitation to your boss' office as a response. That's when they want to hear more in person and are almost ready to promote you. Another good indicator is if you get a simple "???". It means they want to know more about what you're saying because it's just so good. Usage of daring language is important as well to let the higher-ups notice your potential, as it is a way to show you're ready to take initiative.
That turn back to the computer is perfect every time
I feel harassed grammatically
You wouldn't want to affect me like that and get Julie from HR involved...
You should quit that job. Grammatical tyranny is unacceptable.
These tutorials are not only comedic gold but 100% refreshing & original. PLEASE, never stop.
"Grammatically harassed" is probably one of the funniest and most absurd things I've ever heard XD
Also I love Smithers O'Neil's insane and maniacal attitude and approach to everything and how he does even the most horrible stuff with a happy attitude.
as much as I like option C 💀
💀
the ending is fucking LEGENDARY
Nimesh seems like the type of guy to say "ummm actually"
He'd probably even say ERM
That would be great! :)
Excuse me Saar, if you could just....
BAAHSTARD BLAADY BLAADY BAAHSTARD
@@every.single.time.2668I wonder what corporate initiative brought Mr. Nimesh to the role of VP?
Dear Smithers,
I hope this email finds you well!
I would like to point out at 3:11 in your video, the word "EFFECTS" is used wrong. Clearly, you meant to say, "has a negative EFFECT on Smithers" instead. Of course, I write this email with no hostile intent, and I hope that this will help you look out for other mistakes in the future.
Worm regards,
Me
Dear Danalysis,
I hope this email finds you well!
I would like to point out the fact that no one asked.
Butterfly regards,

Dear Danalysis,
I hope this email finds you well!
You wouldn't know a good email if it f***** you in the ass.
Dear Danalysis,
I hope this email finds you well. I have also noticed this grammatical error when watching the video above. I have come to the conclusion that this was a deliberate choice to add to the satire overall as it is ironic for Smithers to make such a mistake when correcting another for the same thing.
Kind Regards,
W.
Seconded, the image makes no sense on either side. But Smithers might just be flexing his paint skills.
Opera GX is so amazing! I didn’t know it has been there since 90s and it must be because they spent such a long time improvising their browser from 90s to where we are now that it’s so easy and handy to use!
Love CyberKevin's appearance in Smither's emails showing that these videos are not self-contained
90s is the best era to live! Imagine now is the 90s, how much it can effect our life for the better ☺
I remember watching some of these in the late 90s, some of my favourites were "How to pirate music" and "How to upgrade your computer to watch hentai in 240p instead of 144p!"
This is just pure gold. I'm very glad I found this channel.
Smithers taking the "normal" option for once then perfectly subverting it in the most deranged way possible is giving Skyrim convo choices vibes
For some reason after following your tutorial, the police are at my door
they want to congratulate you on a job well done
Hahaha, true. And I like the Minecraft photo profile of yours. :)
You’re not supposed to actually follow these instructions you doofus. If you can’t tell this is satire then how did the government let you buy a computer? The inanity of commoners never fails to let me down. I live each day wondering why I’m here… just to suffer? Can someone make me a snackie-poo?
Dw, tell them it was just an exercise...
They must want a well prepared, professional email from you in person!
Thank you for the clear and detailed instructions. Will put this one to good use!
OH MY GOD! We only JOKED about doing things like this back in the 90s! AND NOW IT HAS BECOME A RUclips VIDEO!!!
The gimmick of taking the correct choices but then twisting it with an unexpected joke just keeps getting me
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better! :D For us that started browsing in the mid 90s this is hillarious.
Your ad placement strategy is on point, it's like an essential part of the video
That last part with an innocent script file is what affected me the most.
Now I know where should put my time and effort.
Because, according to this educational video, creating a virus and using it in your communication is how you can achieve the best results.
Thank you for your great wisdom.
This tutorial greatly affected my relationship between me and my boss, thanks Smithers!!!
Please bring back Paul Perkenstien for a special episode! This 90's internet tutorial series should become your main focus maybe even with its own channel, you do them so well!
I love this nerd with no life whatsoever definitely my favorite character
the way he slowly and smoothly spins in his chair is so authentic 😂
The way you incorporated the in-video ad was genius. I usually skip on other creators but you and Internet Historians ads are just too good.
So, the revised mission statement reads: "It's our mission to effectively revolutionize how you do business on a global scale." It's like saying we're not just here to tug at your heartstrings; we're here to pull the levers of change. And maybe still make you go 'aww' occasionally.
I am not proficient enough in English to express how enjoyable it is to watch such well-crafted videos like this.
0:32 excessively smirky smile is golden
God bless you Smithers O'Neil,
I wouldn't survive this Internet thing without your tutorials😂
"Perhaps i'll be promoted to creative director once he sees how well I illustrated my point 🙂" haha the best line! Delivered perfectly 👏
Lol. Gotta love those old school viruses and .bat or .exes that would do this kind of stuff.
I remember I opened one of these when I was about 10 or 11 on a Windows 95 PC trusting someone on AOL and nuked my system folder. Never made the mistake of opening files from someone I didn't know or trust again.
Smithers' wisdom has had such a positive affect on my life. Thank you Smithers.

I love how the tutorials start out normal and slowly get more and more psychotic
I love this guy. Especially his gentle-like manner, but devilish action.
As someone who tries his best to fit in and do good work but is affected by his ADHD, and therefore faced repercussions often, I love the way you creatively throw punches at the world around you.
Keep it up!
*Negatively affects Smithers.
I love how every one of the videos starts out fairly normal before becoming progressively more unhinged. 😂
You haven’t seen the recent serial killer one yet then I take it. Because that one is unhinged from the start lol.
Absolutely brilliant, nailed the sociopathic empty eyes with that smile 😂 10/10
Smithers is so nice to recommend his former boss as a cashier at McDonalds. What an effect!
All the 90's references in here are gold.
1:06 '5. it is an expression of pain'
The way he turns round is spot on
This guy has a talent of saying f*ck off while being polite.
If you're getting that takeaway, you have missed the joke.
3:17 that fucking stone cold stare tho
Being assertive is real important in the job world and also in good emails.
"Bring a firearm for defense" lol I love you so much
I love the fact that it was completely justifiable for the Mr.TutorialGuy to completely ruin the lives of his coworkers this time around and he did in the most professional way as well.
This video has the feeling of a VHS tape bought at a yard sale for 50 cents. Perfection.
It’s because he runs his footage through a VCR and then records it again when it’s playing on the VCR. He’s done a video that explained the process. :)
I can just imagine Smithers O'Neil bouncing from workplace to workplace while bankrupting each company.
“Divorced hag from HR” 😂😂😂😂 I lost it on that one
"Expired" has got to be one of the most creatively ruthless burns on a middle-aged woman I've heard 😂. Definitely slipping that one in my back pocket for future "Break Glass In Case Of Emergency" scenarios 👌😆.
These videos can't come out fast enough. More Wide World of Web videos!
Master Nexodus 👁 giving good advice to us again.
This guy’s just barely contained fury is awesome. These videos have truly captured the essence of the very early internet.
Love your content!
'Hope all is well' or 'hope this email finds you well' is my biggest pet peeve.
Aww. I admit I use those, but I genuinely mean it.
Smither's excellent humor really has a positive affect on my day
