[HARClX]

"Craig of Graigslist"

"94% of Nigerias GNP came from internet ventures"

THATS PURE GOLD RIGHT THERE!

[fr0nage]

Think; in 15 years there will be so many people watching these with no-one to tell them they're all fake! OMG lulz will be had...

[93224956]

What is funnier than the actual video is people believing that the people who say they believe the Onion is real actually think the Onion is real.

[magustx]

why the fuck did he have so many windows open. What a dumbass

[gorgeousaur]

Wow, Myspace... that's a blast from the past right there.

[Tamizushi]

As a computer technician, I was unable to acquire the willing suspension of disbelief necessary to appreciate this video. :'(

[julian40900]

There are hundreds of people on the internet every second

There is no way this one guy could have crashed the entire internet.

Fake!

[StefanPetrucci]

@julian40900 not sure if trolling...

[TMSH90]

@julian40900 you dont say?

[writersblock91289]

i wonder if anyone has tried to do this? having all those windows open? experiment?

[Bazz856]

35 windows lol

[drugssexandtrumpets]

If sopa passes this may become reality....

[lukethegreat101]

Ohh please Onion...he had 30+ windows opened simultaneously and you expect me to believe that non of them were porn...do some research

[zackamisiesxstuck]

i remember when that happened. i was jerkin it to super dildo war 7, i had a hard on the rest of the day

[Boomoorang]

"Pentagon reveals hundreds of enemy horses being held without trial at Guantanamo Ranch"

[999basille]

OH MY GOD NOT MY WORLD OF WARCRAFT ACCOUNT

[MODclan100]

[casshorse11]

Haha I loved the ticker tape on the bottom that said "Disney is re-releasing the song of the south with 30 never before seen racist clips"

[kno235]

Oh how people don't understand satire.

[hockopper]

You serious?

[skins017]

i feel like Crtl Alt Deleting myself!

[FadeToBlack181]

@skins017 WRONG!

With the introduction of Windows Vista Ctrl+Alt+Delete no longer brings up the Task Manager, rather takes you to an intermediary screen with options regarding management.

You must mean Ctrl+Shift+Esc.

[hewittbryan]

AL GORE TO THE RESCUE!

[h0rnd0917]

Where is al gore when ya need him!

[Die1101]

[bd9598]

[truthseeker010101]

Steve Jobs, RIP

[rockbandmaniac2]

REALLY even in this video there are still people who think this is real, the stupidity of some people is unbelievable

[m1c000l]

@rockbandmaniac2 if anyone thinks this is real they are the most retarded person in the world, you're on the internet !!!!!!!!!!

[ealdie24]

@rockbandmaniac2

[stupidityunitenstuff]

[gredangeo]

"The internet is down, to see more info please go the website: ...."

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUU

[igsyst]

[BrownsSuckGoSteelers]

[klimzo]

Hmm, why the hell.. did he have 42.000 browsers open? O_O

[whitemage4ever]

Not one joke about internet porn? I am disappoint.

[Chaoskiller34]

@whitemage4ever why joke about porn? if all porn was lost it would be a disaster not a joke... grow up dude...

[motownharry]

"the Government admits that they do not have any back up for The Internet but that they had "always mean to getting around to making one" and also added they "are so mad at themselves", It is so believeable and it's dam funny too... now that "IS" truely Irony. I laughed my Ass Off over that Oh So Accurate observation and good Reporting by Onion, and that's exactly why... when I want the "News" I turn on the TV... but when I want the "Facts" I simply go to my PC, click Onion and Start Cookin'.

[TheEloeo]

Trip-Hop is dead? NOOOOOOOO!

Seriously tough, that's quite odd news.

[stulaw90]

79 users felt like Ctrl Alt + Deleting themselves

[guineapigmadness]

2:39 "JC Penny introduces gay sex only bathrooms."

[puttputtking]

@guineapigmadness Ok, I understand what statement you were referring that to, but I don't get the joke though.

[guineapigmadness]

@puttputtking you don't get english either

[puttputtking]

@guineapigmadness I said everything perfectly and I got an "A" in my english classes in college, thank you very much.

[guineapigmadness]

@puttputtking " *but* I don't get the joke *though* ".

[puttputtking]

@guineapigmadness I was saying I didn't get the joke. That's all I was saying.

[guineapigmadness]

@puttputtking i got that. just pointing out that it wasn't correct grammar. idc though just do yo thang

[puttputtking]

@guineapigmadness You could say I am doing one of my things which is replying to your posts, but there's also a whole lot more that are my things. What would you say are some of your things?

[guineapigmadness]

@puttputtking crying with the lights out, dressing my pet turtle up in clothing from the 18th century, and wearing a full body latex catsuit while listening to the grateful dead.

[puttputtking]

@guineapigmadness Interesting.

[SuperWarking]

@skatermaster10000 what proof of this do you have?

[skatermaster10000]

@11weeee I used it alot of times, its the worst type of computer i used. desktop or laptop.

[11weeee]

@skatermaster10000 well then they doesnt mean they suck its just not right for you different people have different opinions.

[TheEradicator13]

@11weeee only talking about the hardware not the OS. Macs are over triple the price of PC's for the same specs.

[supershawnodeseninja]

this would be better if it wasn't on the internet.

[tubestick00]

craig.

[Zardoz151]

LOL Nigeria.

[Killur10]

That's all he's done? I've bittorrented about ten files, instant messaged, skyped, and played online video games all while having both an email client checking three email accounts and a web browser with at least 150 tabs open. Fuck, right now I have an email client checking my email and having 148 tabs open.

[TheEloeo]

@Killur10 So...what's your point?

[baredown100]

my god this is horrible... all is not lost youtube still works lolz

[spreepin]

Hilarious!

[TheOkami1113]

Odd, it's funny how I'm watching this video on the Internet

[giorgi911]

haha nigerian spammers are owned!!

[RawmanK]

"98% of their GNP came from internet ventures"

-Nigerian internet scams

[cronon94]

@RawmanK 94%

[toastersstoast]

rather thought-provoking. also hilarious

[Heliosphan15]

@Spanky989

[Heliosphan15]

@Spanky989

good christ, people. i LIKE macs. i was fuckin joking. 

[TheEsausuarez]

SO FUNNY

[hellsbells917]

[hellsbells917]

@hellsbells917 

[J0nny152]

Nigeria's economy was built on 'internet ventures'. lol.

[scrap222666]

Craig from Craig's list. So simple yet so brilliantly delivered.

[Azf12]

37 pages? ARE YOU RETARDED?

-.-

[vanderman128]

WebCrash2007 - It was made in 2008 -_-

[IbanezShredderMan]

First time I clicked on the video, I got an error saying, "This server cannot load. A team of highly trained monkeys is fixing it right now." Thanks irony.

[IcyScythe]

lol @ Nigeria

[ilikrandomness]

Press any key to save. SON OF A BITCH WHERES THE DAMN FUCKING ANY KEY?

[DauntlessEagle1]

Press any key to restart. WHERES THE DAM ANY KEY !!!

[joelcoady]

At least he didn't type google into google.

[bananaphone1987]

"is this real life?"

[Hunterbeaf]

Internet is IMMORTAL....Peace "V"

[MrStickfigureman]

NO, NOT THE WEBCOMICS!

[TriRoProd]

press F13 to restore the internet

[SpartQ77]

oh my god all these logos are so old and myspace hahahah

[shuwukong]

love the Nigerian part haha

[bulby130]

backup could be yottabytes!

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

[Sandfire75]

Haha, "They are so mad at themselves right now." XD

[SuperResi5]

i bet thers a pervert shout "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! MY POOOOOOORRRRRNNNNNN

[applepieindesky]

@SuperResi5 How did you know I did tha - I mean... Uh... Yeah, haha, pervs... Ahaha... Yup.... Mmm Hmm...

[confusedkid6]

@SuperResi5 We "perverts" are a proud people.

[superearthbender]

@SuperResi5 mmhmmm...

[TheScienceguy77]

Imagine what 4chan users would be handing out.

[STOKEYmusic]

@TheScienceguy77

rules 1 and 2 newfag

[TheScienceguy77]

@STOKEYmusic Implying 4chan is a secret little club for you and your faggy nonexistent friends to play in. The "rules" are a joke on the rules in Fight Club, if you were on there for more then a couple of weeks you'd know that. And using the word "newfag" also makes you even more of a "newfag" yourself;.

[nothing980454]

@STOKEYmusic Did you just use the word "newfag"? hahaha LAAAMEEEE

[IamAmazing2011]

That would suck that means no more porn

[FluffyJay1]

im gonna do exactly what that man did XD

[MayzeSigSzalay]

1) downloading ola discovery(?) from itunes 2) streaming several youtube videos 3) listening to an NPR broadcast 4) IM'ing his friends 5) checking 3 email accounts 6) talking on skype 7) playing online poker 8) installing latest version of firefox 9) running a system update.

For shame, all I have open right now is Wikipedia, Facebook, Youtube, craigslist, another Youtube, iTunes, AIM, a Microsoft Word, downloading music from questionable place.........My bad if i crash the internet guys xD

[Heliosphan15]

fuckin mac users

[brainslurper]

@Heliosphan15 Does that make sense?

[Heliosphan15]

@brainslurper

why yes it does

[brainslurper]

@Heliosphan15 Want to explain why? Or are you withholding that knowledge for yourself?

[Heliosphan15]

@brainslurper

it was a joke, my fellow youtuber. that's all

[rageatm4life]

fuck facebook, what about all the porn lol

[ImJake9]

This is funny… but also impossible.

This is because the internet's data is not in fact stored in a single database. The internet really is just a network of many, many specialized computers, called servers. In theory, DNS could go down, but all real data would still be preserved on the individual servers.

Just sayin'

[Snowboarding182]

@Katic13 no this is seriously real, I remember when it happened, a lot of the data has been uploaded back onto the net over the years though

[SykoTheStalker]

reminds me of psn...

[Number6fr]

@SykoTheStalker psn has been hacked, not lost ;)

(thats what i heard anyways)

[Number6fr]

@Spanky989 watch?v=IBdSl7yeIiw

[SingingAndComedyOfSC]

HAHA

[asuperpower]

It would've been 100 time funnier if the error message said "Please connect to the internet to find a fix to this problem." :) :D

[UncheckedIrony]

This is worse than the om nom nom nepatism of 04

[Alfrey619]

HAHA the nigerians economy went down first. I wonder why that happened hhmmm? maybe because all there money comes from internet scams from them.

[MatthewDavidParr]

@Alfrey619 Hahha it is good stuff.

[OrganicDrew]

I am actually downloading this in case such a thing does happen. if an EMP happened especially from our sun, and not just from a high altitude nuke. i then plan to store a copy and cheap computer for playbackabilty as all electronics that are not shielded in a fariday cage would be redered perminantly useless irrespective of our ability to restart the more secure power grid.

[DylanHilldog]

That guy reminds me of every teenage girl complaining about their computer.

[DeloreandudeTommy]

Wow, and I thought it was caused by Ted Stevens accidentally tightening a bolt on the internet's tubes, causing them to break and spray LOLcats and grammatical trainwrecks hither and yon.

[xxRainCookie]

LOL. i'm going to try doing all those things to see if i can crash the internet 8D

[TadCornell]

This is so funny!

[TadCornell]

Lol

[343TheSentient]

2:15 LOLOLOLOLOLOL WIN

[deoyx]

wow shit. I've got 6 windows open, about 7 tabs each and am downloading a game. I hope I don't crash the internet!

[feduo45465]

lol Nigeria is fucked :)

[rgregoryoa]

he would fry his computer before he crashed every internet server in the world. Hello people there are reasons that there are safe guards that the government dosn't want you to know about.

[Phenix51432]

73 people crashed the internet

good going guys >.>

[techbeast34]

I've lived with no internet...in India.

[Cinj216]

That little blurb at the end about having to rebuild a Flickr album is funny because it's so true...I hear about people losing their accounts all the time for a variety of bizarre reasons (usually Flickr's fault too).

[DemoraX]

this is what happens when you open up facebook on a mac...

[seere3rd]

dear god no internet? nooooooooo

[savagecabage]

haha yea whats with nigeria?are they the most corrupt people on the internet or what? i just had one trying to scam me on ebay a few months ago, they said they were spanish but living in america, and wanted to phone sent to nigeria for his sons birthday. sheesh some people

[Tony007corp]

And craig of craigslist

[Natedawg422]

Something tells me a Rick roll video will be all thats left.

[LithuanianWolf]

Gee, I wonder why Nigeria receives 94% of its Gross National Product from the Internet.

[mickys333]

Hahah, i was laughing on the inside during the most part of the clip but when the report on the full economic collapse of Nigeria came on i couldn't help but chuckle a lil bit LOL.

[F3FisGoodforYou]

...and Craig of Craigslist... :-))

[tubestick00]

nigeria..... its so true.

[YellowLithium23]

i wish stuff like this actualy did happen sigh... the world would be a much funnier place

[BlaNd435]

i hate onions so much, but these videos are so dang funny lol

[Alina5010]

it's impossible for the internet to crash because it's built like a spider web hence the name

[xYiazmatx]

@Alina5010 Lolwut

[THGHOST2010]

And they say men can't multitask...
