That guy was a retarted doo-doo head...

I would also advise other people that the is some language in the clip. Most notably tha F word. Bad Windows users and their bad language.

oh my goodness. I've never seen that one before. That guy was crazy! I love the cruel irony though, that he created the video on a Mac.

It sounds like he talks about OS 9 and then OS X. But it didn't sound the experience most people have with their Mac. Must have been beta stuff he was using. It was still funny.

This is ironic. I watched it and he complained about mac crashing. Then my windows internet browser crashed :). I wonder what version he was talking about. Sounded like mac os x 9

Yeah, it did sound like OS 9, not X.

But it was still highly amusing. Thanks for the laugh!

I didn't find it funny, because it is a lot of BS.

This is a VERY old repost -_-. This was originally a .WMV (or .mov for someone who converted it), and it was higher quality, for those who are complaining.

It did sound like OS 9, but he talked about the Dock.

This is a VERY old repost -_-

yeah, i remember at least two posts about this video. i can't find the threads, but from what i remember this was just a practical joke from the guy in the video. he's also apparently a devoted mac user who works with video, and wanted to create a spin-off of the switch ads.

Yeah it is a little old, but great. The original video comes from a skit company www.happynowhere.net (scroll down a little to "mac parody" to get the original, higher quality video).From what I remember the video was produced in the OS 10.0 days, so obviously some of those problems he had could actually have happened :).

You gotta admit, the "System Update icon bouncing up and down like a #%@ Jack Russell terrier" was funny as hell though.

Since when does dragging a file to the desktop create an alias there? That is what Windows does not OS 9 or OS X.
