I remember constantly shuffling around the access phone numbers to try to get the best one to sign on with, getting the busy signal 1,000 times in a row, the feeling of complete and total victory when I finally got to hear the annoying sound of the modem connecting, and the overwhelming urge to put my fist through the monitor when I got booted off after a couple of minutes online. Ahhhh....good times!
The worst thing about AOL was when it would update and not even give you a choice. You're RIGHT in the middle of something and it just shuts off and not only that, it shuts your whole computer down to do the update....terrible! Plus it took 20 minutes to come back on
I hope AOL also stands for “Americans in Opposition to Lying.” AOL should end the unjust censorship policies of “The Huffy Don’t Post” or at least make the website admit that it censors its opponents. When I recently used The Huffington Post’s own figures to create my “Joe Averageguy” analogy, which argues that global temperatures have leveled off since 1998, The Huffington Post deleted my comments and removed my profile, Xarkonul. Please see my YouTube channel (Xarkonul).
I was 14 or 15 at that time and my mother and I had a Macintosh Performa 575 with America Online. That was the first time we were connected to the internet and we had Windows '95. Life's a trip. Look how much everything's changed. In school at that time we had Macintosh LC 575's which looked exactly the same but I guess were for businesses and schools.
@SlimySnail44 lmao. aol was what alot of people used for internet in the late 90's and early 00's. they would connect their computers to there phone lines and use internet which would prevent people from calling them. the connection was shitty and slow
@plaidgorrilla If you are under the age of 20 I doubt you would or anyone would know what AOL is unless you say AIM heh. I remember AOL. The 15-20 minute waits at night just to get a proper sign on
@SatanicalEve i'm 18. and i remember dial up with aol. when i was young like maybe 6, i thought the sound of it when it was booting up was awesome at first. but it took forever
Oh boo fucking hoo, so the man is a career actor and has made choices that were obviously not for his great talent but because he could make a quick buck. So what? He's still brilliantly funny and inventive with his comedy (Although, a little preachy at times).
hey, i was just in agreement with other people's comments......... i'm not the only one who mention his pricy career choices........... i bet he bought a lot more then just food and water........ lol
holy christ i forgot all about this commericial. he's being criticized by some for taking money for alvin + the chipmunks 1+2 but i wonder what he did with THE MONEY FOR THIS!
hey, david. massage my scrotum with your tongue and lips, you hypocritical piece o' hippie-shit. Oh, i'm sorry.. it must've slipped my mind. Only david cross is allowed to be uptight n hyper-critical of of passionate activists who actually have the nuts to stand up for a belief rather than spinelessly making wisecracks after the fact. i love you, david. but if youre guna be such a shit-talker, maybe you should cover your glass house with old cardboard or something, to protect from the stones

Since I like David Cross now (I wasn't even aware of him until Scary Movie 2 came out), I find this commercial retroactively funny.
AOL humorous commercial = maybe mildly funny.
