13 years on and this is still some of the best comedy ever that I've seen on the internet and is still relevant today. For me, it's just the flow of everything, from the rebooting of the server, the frustration rant to the remote desktop. Oh yeah, and Halo's still around with Infinite now out with free multiplayer.
Heck, I was happy with it up to 7. Eight is a !@#$#^ dumpster fire. I swear Microsoft must have a desire to close it out and is purposely trying to drive the customers away, given how egregiously bad 8 is.
“They call it on-line, we need to get this thing on-line.” Something about that clueless demanding tone is just, ugh. Doesn’t know what he wants but he wants it anyway.
Yeah, this thing is probably more than ten years old and it's just as true today as it was back then. First rule of tech club: Don't listen to sales. Second rule of tech club: DON'T LISTEN TO SALES!
This, I.T. Crowd, and Silicon Valley are all amazing. Writers and directors need to keep making shows for I.T. people which can be enjoyed by everyone else too.
I used to work Chrysler Desktop support back in the 90s before remote desktoping. Got a call one day of a woman whose menu "wouldn't work". Had to walk 10 minutes to her desk... She was clicking the wrong god damn button on her mouse. True story.
I laughed at this when I was 20 and starting a software engineer degree... now I laugh at it while being a devops eng and facng similar ""issues"" as the ones shown here hahaha
Hello Facebook ;) 4th of Oktober... and CHIP just told one guy at Facebook to reboot the Webserver and Fucking Laslo rebooted the Wrong Datacenter Server ;)
@Comradecoool he's only using OSX on his PC. The *nix systems are remote connections to the servers, via SSH and/or various Remote Desktop applications. Or...maybe Virtual Machines, but since we see the physical racks in the video that's not likely.
I love these! Where are the easter eggs though? I can't find the Karateka one and also the hidden clips that were on Chip's desktop simulator. I would love to see those again!
This video is way older than 2009. It predates youtube. I remember downloading this video back in 2004 off his website. This thing may be close to 20 years old and still one of the funniest, most relevant IT humor videos there is.
Yes, that's roughly when I saw it the first time too. It's so timeless though. The "Apache" server is so quaint, and he had a tab on "Monster", of course, looking for more money and more job cushion, lol. Now it's NGINX and Ingress running on AWS EKS or Azure AKS, or some other Kubernetes Cluster, but everything still roughly maps to today, except it's Halo Master Chief Edition while you're on MS Teams with others, troubleshooting your Cluster.
I watched this way back when, and to this day it still stands as an absolute masterpiece of comedy. It's so good you can still wonder if this isn't a real recording. Every single line is delivered to perfection, the slight voice distortion gives that "protect the identities" element, the acting by itself is phenomenal, the characters on point ... I just can't explain. Perfect ... and then, the penis. Thank you for this. Thank. You.
Couldn't have been stated better Sara. I've been working IT since 1992, and just happen to stumble across these today. I can't believe how old these are and yet they still apply big time today...I couldn't stop laughing. Any IT guy can totally pick up on the minor IT terms and phrases that come up, that make me just laugh, like... Derrick "Did you reboot your system?" Chip "Yes" Derrick "How many times did you reboot?" Chip "Three man, ya always tell me to do it three" That little exchange right there is GOLDEN. Typical exchange between an IT guy and a totally non-IT guy...hahaha! This stuff is great. I wish he would come back and do more.
YESSSIR, Patrick you are on point. As a fellow IT guy, I'm still laughing and that reboot 3 times quote killed the whole team. We were bunched up at my desk while watching the epic video and everyone cried laughing.
You have to watch episode #4! I died laughing. I'm sure you already watched all of them, I think there is only 5 made. Episode 4 quote... "How do you think I've been in IT for 30 years? Virus. Just tell everyone it's a virus and that will give you enough time to fix the problem"....GOLDEN!
I was a graveyard shift tech support analyst. There were 12 guys and 1 lady. We got virtually no calls after 1:00 AM. My boss figured it would be a good idea if we played video games and stop an hour before the morning shift came in. We played Half Life and Unreal Tournament. The lady didn't want to play and had no one to chat with because we were too busy playing. She would constantly complain so by boss fired her. Online gaming on the company LAN was an amazing experience. It was a great gig 20% raise as soon as you switched. We had a fully stocked kitchen like a small 7-11 plus 24/7 takeout. It was a DOT COM and they had money to burn. It all came to an end in about a year.
i worked in a print shop once, many moons ago, and the IT guy was a Diablo and Q3TA player. So was my manager ... down time, lunch and after hours we did lan parties. we'd also team up and play others. that T1(?) back in the mid to late 90s was crazy when everyone else had dial up or async.
My God, sounds like the best year of your life! Dreamy and unrealistic-sounding, but of course, _totally real_ and GREAT! Nobody gets to experience this these days, right? Does hurt to hear of a firing, though. Uhhh... But sure, complaining isn't good...
I'm 60 years old. I started doing tech support back in 1990. I've done on-site, phone, chat, email... All of it. I'm still in the gig. I remember when this came out. I just turned this on to one of the dudes on my team who's in their 30s. He loved it. This series of videos should be in the Smithsonian as the best damn depiction of what it's like to be a support tech. Love this and you all who agree. Peace!
Great comment. I’m just watching this now for the first time which is giving me a very odd feeling as I was online at the time and it’s odd I missed out on this back in the day. Any screen recording of computers and the internet from those times should be preserved. But this especially needs to be in a museum!
I completely agree! I'm 52 now and I remember working for a large credit reporting company working at 1 City Block in Orange, CA. As normal for a Friday "some" of us took an extended lunch and watched a movie at the mall within walking distance. One day we get a severity 1 call and the entire movie theatre started buzzing and lighting up (Motorolla/Nextel i1000 with two way radio). All of us had to hustle out of there quick! (And Yes, I'm still in the gig too. Love what I do, just not the politics or managers that are not proactive.)

nicoqueen in my opinion it's hard to tell what they're saying, they're speaking incomprehensibly to where the point that it is inaudible, it sucks when people edit videos and increase the pitching because it makes it a little more mundane in a way, i got pretty bored while just watching the videos, because it sounds like Alvin And The Chipmunks are doing a voiceover of someone's website getting taken down by a professional DDoSer, now i am not quite sure if he was DDoSing but that was an assumption.
@@cfalcon0754 pitched up version is the only I've ever seen everywhere (even at times when funny videos was still brought on a cd from your friends) until recently I've seen the "normal voice" on youtube. I wonder if that normal version isn't just this, as the original, just pitched down. IMO pitched up seems better here, even I usually hate all the manipulations like that.
@lin545 hey. I was running Halo on my Mac and the other OSes were accessed through a citrix remote desktop client. I think I had 2 or 3 windows boxes running in VMware on my pc. I recorded it with an external tape deck so I wasn't running fraps or anything which probably helped performance.
You need to do more stuff! With all the Cloud, the UX, the UI, the darn frameworks, and all the cr6p that now is available there is a bunch more of inspiration to go!!!!
just like my grandparents... "the mouse isn't working" "see where the cord goes and try plug it back in again" "where?" "behind your computer" "the screen isn't working now" "That's your monitor... underneath your desk, the big computer box thing-y" “The big cord or little one?" *"Idk,* which ever one is the mouse cord" "I took them all out" (ಠ_ಠ) "Can you come over?" (ಠ_ಠ) Fine...
Chip: "He shut off all of our e-mail" Nancy: "THAT'S WHAT HE FUCKING DID LAST TIME" Chip: "How many times did he reboot it?" WD: "Once" Chip: "I think you need to try it a few times" *Nancy laughing in the background* Chip absolutely destroyed this guy what a legend
I've gotten close... the company's fileshare server stopped backing up to tape one day and I had to investigate. Our tape drive only had a 60 gigabyte capacity (back in 2005), and we had about 100 gigabytes of total space available on the drive, but only about 40 gigs or so of actual information. I checked out what we were trying to back up - suddenly it's 80 gigabytes. I looked into the logs, and found the failure occurred in the CEO's private file share... and I had to wonder, wtf did he upload over the 10/100 Ethernet from his personal machine? I checked.. and found that it was about 40 gigabytes worth of porn. That was a delicate conversation - trying to explain why the backups had been failing...
@newswars-dotcom It does -- just not here. Check on facebook where the video's been stolen and reuploaded a couple hundred times, each getting about 20 million views before it gets taken down again.
It's unbelievable how relevant this still is after all these years, haha. How many network and server admins can still raise their hands and say this is the story of their lives!
This so well represents the feelings of non-tech people towards technology (the "if it works, don't touch it" attitude). This way of dealing with things is just baffling to me sometimes. So funny.
+Garet Robertson I know what you mean I hate how people just ignore things they don't understand instead of trying to learn how things work. I would be miserable if I went through life like that.
Wdym "non tech"? Anyone who works with tech knows that "don't touch it" is 100% true. Every time you fix something, you roll a "much bigger problem than it appeared" dice. Fixing stuff that works is something you do when you have nothing else to do.
There hasn't been a new episode in years :/ I'd pay to see more. Ideally a monthly or bi-weekly show, if the writers could come up with more content. Kickstarter anyone?
"I can't access our network drives." "Are you on the VPN?" "What VPN?" "You're remote, right?" "Yes" "......" "Oh, the VPN that we connect to?" "That's the one."

@@cfalcon0754 pitched up version is the only I've ever seen everywhere (even at times when funny videos was still brought on a cd from your friends) until recently I've seen the "normal voice" on youtube. I wonder if that normal version isn't just this, as the original, just pitched down. IMO pitched up seems better here, even I usually hate all the manipulations like that.
Sounds like south park
Just enable subtitles.
@@slightlyevolved OMG I just tried that out! They sound hammered off their ass at .5x!! That is awesome!
As a person who works in IT...... This type of shit happens everyday. I wish you made more vids! Such a classic!
Trevor: "Did you take down the website?"
Web dude: "No."
Trevor: "Well Nancy said you did."
Web dude: "Oh, I mean yeah."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I only removed my like to keep the number of likes on this perfect.
"the website is not coming back up because you made me take it down the wrong way..." ha ha
I fucking love this so much. Why did it have to end :(
This accurately depicts the struggle of real world tech support people.
Damn you Crowdstrike!
@lin545 hey. I was running Halo on my Mac and the other OSes were accessed through a citrix remote desktop client. I think I had 2 or 3 windows boxes running in VMware on my pc. I recorded it with an external tape deck so I wasn't running fraps or anything which probably helped performance.
Apache restart taking 15 minutes for real?
Back when this was made? 15 minutes was pretty quick lol
You need to do more stuff! With all the Cloud, the UX, the UI, the darn frameworks, and all the cr6p that now is available there is a bunch more of inspiration to go!!!!
Why are you running apache in Fedora with a GUI? Lol!
@@Randych The kernel boot messages mention PA-RISC so that's a 90s HP RISC server.
so much has changed but also absolutely nothing
just like my grandparents...
"the mouse isn't working"
"see where the cord goes and try plug it back in again"
"where?"
"behind your computer"
"the screen isn't working now"
"That's your monitor... underneath your desk, the big computer box thing-y"
“The big cord or little one?"
*"Idk,* which ever one is the mouse cord"
"I took them all out"
(ಠ_ಠ)
"Can you come over?"
(ಠ_ಠ) Fine...
Been there
lol she better bake cookies...
They like to see you
@@matthiasschuster9505 I'm with you on this, x HnTr VDH x, cherish those moments, and get lots of hugs.
my grandparents "broke" their tv remote at least every other day, those were the best moments of my life
Been in IT over 20 years... Still I find myself coming back to this and enjoying a good laugh in 2020. This will never get old. ;)
setting desktop icons as background and removing the real icons: the most extreme desktop trolling can get
this is amazing hahah.
found you here lol
2 years later...
"Ha ha, IP Urine!"
"That's a... that's a good one..."
Hysterical!
The voices have always been sped up. I thought it was funnier that way.
Josh Weinberg it is
It is! Sounds like South Park voices
it is
reminds me of francois pérusse
Chip: "He shut off all of our e-mail"
Nancy: "THAT'S WHAT HE FUCKING DID LAST TIME"
Chip: "How many times did he reboot it?"
WD: "Once"
Chip: "I think you need to try it a few times"
*Nancy laughing in the background*
Chip absolutely destroyed this guy what a legend
still actual in 2024 :)
As a Linux technician, I can't even put in words how true this is.
😂😂😂😂😂
Its giving me PTSD, post tech stress disorder
Being a frontline IT guy myself, this clip is so so true. Except for the penis backgrounds, I've never seen those :P
*yet
I've gotten close... the company's fileshare server stopped backing up to tape one day and I had to investigate. Our tape drive only had a 60 gigabyte capacity (back in 2005), and we had about 100 gigabytes of total space available on the drive, but only about 40 gigs or so of actual information. I checked out what we were trying to back up - suddenly it's 80 gigabytes. I looked into the logs, and found the failure occurred in the CEO's private file share... and I had to wonder, wtf did he upload over the 10/100 Ethernet from his personal machine? I checked.. and found that it was about 40 gigabytes worth of porn. That was a delicate conversation - trying to explain why the backups had been failing...
I watch this at least once a year. SALUTE to the creator 💯💯💯
I work on an IT Help Desk and I can't tell you how painfully accurate this is. From start to finish.
Multitasking Like A Boss On OS X
Watched this when I was 14 and didn't get it. I'm 26 now, been working in IT a few years. This video is almost too painfully relatable now...
APR 14, 2009 ??? This is hilarious and should have wayyyyyyyyyyy more hits!!!
I think it was originally posted somewhere other than RUclips.
Correct. I saw this in either 2003 or 2004 on their own website.
@newswars-dotcom It does -- just not here. Check on facebook where the video's been stolen and reuploaded a couple hundred times, each getting about 20 million views before it gets taken down again.
It's unbelievable how relevant this still is after all these years, haha. How many network and server admins can still raise their hands and say this is the story of their lives!
Our network analyst shared this video with the rest of the IT team on Friday and we were all rolling. The subtle details are the absolute best
13 years later, and this is still as relevant as back then. Fookin' sales guys.
"Help a brother out." All of our sales dudes at my last gig were bro's .
This so well represents the feelings of non-tech people towards technology (the "if it works, don't touch it" attitude). This way of dealing with things is just baffling to me sometimes. So funny.
+Garet Robertson I know what you mean I hate how people just ignore things they don't understand instead of trying to learn how things work. I would be miserable if I went through life like that.
+rentacow nah, ignorance is a bliss. I envy people who don't want to go through the trouble of learning things.
Wdym "non tech"? Anyone who works with tech knows that "don't touch it" is 100% true. Every time you fix something, you roll a "much bigger problem than it appeared" dice. Fixing stuff that works is something you do when you have nothing else to do.
Never gets old 😂 .. and whatever you do,
DO NOT REBOOT THE WEB SERVER !!
There hasn't been a new episode in years :/ I'd pay to see more. Ideally a monthly or bi-weekly show, if the writers could come up with more content. Kickstarter anyone?
We need the 2020 version where everyone go remote.
trueeee
And instead of rebooting a server they take down the whole cloud infrastructure and wait for the Terraform to build a new one
"I can't access our network drives."
"Are you on the VPN?"
"What VPN?"
"You're remote, right?"
"Yes"
"......"
"Oh, the VPN that we connect to?"
"That's the one."
This series is STILL accurate and even funnier now working in IT and knowing people like this lmao
