Somewhere between Joystick Johnny and "I'd rather be on my computer than anything else" kid, I'm thinking there's a writer with an unusual bent towards getting boys to say double entendres.
If you have to have it explained to you the sexual innuendo of a teenage boy openly admitting he spends more time on his computer than anything else, then you need to do a little light reading. smile.amazon.com/Its-Perfectly-Normal-Changing-Growing/dp/0763644846/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418226411&sr=1-6&keywords=changing+bodies+changing+lives
So I came upon this video as I was surfing the Information Super-Highway when a duck walked all over my web pages and I got sucked into the video, unable to do anything but finish watching.
...I think that cybersex video has made me forget what arousal is. Also, I keep forgetting there was a time when it was a normal thing not to be able to type.
I want to time travel to the 90's like a Vietnam vet returning home, and they will ask, "What is the internet like in 2016?" and I will reply in a hushed voice, "The horror, the horror."
+Wounds Motion Comic Back to the future 2 was so promising: Flying cars, hoverboards, holographic cinema etc etc and what did we get in 2015? SELFIE STICKS AND FACEBOOK! FUCK OFF!
7:55 "Yea well nobodies leaving until somebodies man enough to play a little 3D pinball with old joystick Johnny" I wonder what kind of joystick, and why is joystick Johnny his nickname?
I hit the like button purely because there are no end cap video ads for other Cracked stuff. Yay! A Cracked video that actually fulfilled its run time!
Anyone still remember that Navy/Army/Marines commercial that had some MP say something to the tune of "In the year 2000, there will be more computers than people!"? I'm not going anywhere with that comment. It's just a commercial I distinctly remember seeing a lot while watching Mighty Ducks or Aladdin.
"Nobody's leaving until somebody's man enough to play a little 3D pinball with ol' Joystick Johnny!" Aaaaaaand I figuratively shat myself laughing. What was that even meant to mean? How was that meant to be interpreted in any way that wasn't dirty?
Still have my Cinco Midi organizer. Sometimes I'll call my old friends up so we can listen to some camptown races as we ride in my minivan on the highway.
Swaim, I think you need to take some lessons in comedy from New Guy Weekly. I mean, I know you're trying, but you just don't get humor the way that he does. In my opinion he's funnier than the rest of the Cracked team combined. Ok I can't do this with a straight face anymore.
I live on a break dancing video set... no one ever talks about the issues and hassles of living on a break dancing set. Especially when a guy named "Hail" comes in wanting to talk about computer!
Heh, like me having to watch WWII era training videos in the Army in the 90's. That's exactly the kind of out-of-date crap you get with any institutionalised teaching. Thank -God- Al Gore for the Information Superhighway! I saw that third one once before on TH-cam while looking for something for my computer illiterate parents. I didn't use it because it doesn't fucking tell you anything at all. It just makes it worse by having a bunch of douchebags acting as if computers are some kind of mystical, magical, super-complicated technology you have to be really, really smart to understand. A stupid notion - common and promulgated by idiots at the time - that ironically is the limiting belief holding most of the older generation back from even trying to understand computers. The human race has understood the underlying concept of computers and have been trying to build one for centuries before my parents were born - but they think you have to be born after 1970 to understand them - now that's irony for you. It's more like 1770.
***** Yeah and I heard the antikythera computer was a bit sort on memory, not much you can do with 1 save state. I mean... what will you do if you emulate a pokemon game and lose your masterball?
I was born in '83, and I don't mean the future like some youtube commenters these days. Back then, the web was something that you got in your face when climbing a tree. Life was so much calmer back then, in the 80's. No mobile phones either... I climbed a lot of trees back then.
I grew up during this time and it was special if you had a machine that could connect to the net at all. It took technical know-how just to be able to set everything up. Also you usually needed a dedicated phone line.
It's funny how we began to deal with the Age of Technology. This was the first time cell phones, computers, and videogames began to go on a rampage and explode in popularity and become a integral part of our lives. It's also funny just how fucking clueless the majority of the population was with this kind of power :P
puffnisse yes but it wasnt until the 90's that those 80's kids became adults and we got our first generation of adults that had actually grown up spending the majority of their time playing video games
puffnisse yeah but they were all but wiped out thanks to Atari and E.T. And the industry today is many times bigger and far more widespread than ever before.
Illier1 I guess, but it was not only E.T that ruined Atari. The other cause was that it existed like 10 diffrent consoles att the same time, so costumers did not know what to buy, and that lead to that game developers did not get that much money, wich lead to the crash.
Well, I've learned a lot here. I now have a newfound appreciation that, instead of getting a VHS in the mail about how to cybersex, I got the Starfox 64 promo. Well done, Swaim. Well done indeed.
Ok, the part about the director telling the guy to make cutesy-talk to his cat, and all the actor could come up with was "Doo-doo poo-poo?" That was freaking hilarious. This is my favorite Cracked video guy. But I like all the authors equally, so, don't worry, Cracked employees.
Swaim's anger toward the "duck feet" kid was not only gloriously disproportionate, but would also have provided the kid with an introduction to the near-future world of TH-cam comments.
(AT 6:05) Two friends teach Windows 95?? More like two *friends* try *LSD* for the first time and teach you to *say NO to drugs*. LOL This shit is just hilarious!
Anyone remember the mid-90s Apple's infomercial for their consumer line of computers, the "Performa" series? It was one of the funniest things ever. A whole crappy sitcom based around a clique family and their entry-level Mac.
HEY! #2 is the sequel to the Family Guide to the Internet shown on RedLetterMedia! "Oooh, shopping! I like shopping!" "What's an internet service provider?"
It seemed amazing back then! I remember when my BF (at the time) got us hooked up to the internet in 1993. All of our friends visited to check it out. Everyone was particularly impressed with a CD ROM that had a tiny video of basketball that went for about 30 seconds. Very impressive lol.
I remember it both ways. Which is to say, "educational" videos are always cheesy, but also, I don't remember anyone dressing like that past 1994. Seriously, #2? I knew it would be on this list because is SO deserves to be, but I was 16 in 1997 (the year that was released) and the same year my family got the internets (after toying with WebTV, dear god the horror) and we did not dress that way. At least not since the early 90s. WTF is with the denim? I have to assume these were shot in Canada, which was living 10 years behind the US at the time. Or, at least it seemed fashion-wise.
Number 2, by FAR the funniest fucking one! I seriously had to go into the basement and laugh uncontrollably for 16.5 minutes at 3:55 am so I wouldn't wake up my roommates. . . and to do laundry since I pissed myself laughing!
6:02 It's like reading Jules Vern, but with the addition of irony. Also, it's funny that they can now use that exact scene, unedited, for an informational to discourage computer use.
You so rarely find an "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" reference. Or at least I do. I spit-took (spit-taked?) water all over my screen and keyboard. I'm also happy to hear that at least some computer systems do not want to suck us inside them.
No comment from Cracked on the most disturbing thing in the entire video? A grown man told a child to call himself "Joystick Johnny" in a commercial and we are supposed to be cool with this?
Even back then, I found these videos and PSA's absolutely hilarious. Then again, I had jumped from an "Atari 2600" to a "Commodore 64" in the 80's so I was already using dial up BBS's on that. Then, in '91, I got my first IBM PC. and was on dozens of dial up BBS's for years with that. Eventually I got on the internet through services like Delphi and such. Everything was so easy for me and there was no "mystery" to it. There was no need for this "people getting sucked into computers where they whized by "EXTREME!!!" computer graphics" for me. I just found every one of these videos laughable and when you really looked at the content they taught, they didn't really teach much and they were usually full of misinformation and scaremongering. They would often confuse computer newbies more than help. The best way to help teach a computer newbie back then was to sit them with someone who knew what they were doing to teach them.
I had to watch "how computers work" two times in my tech class last year. I guess it's just the default substitute movie for my class... Can't believe they haven't updated it yet though. So much for "high-tech"
I remember watching the video in the #2 slot in elementary school before we took our " Type To Learn" class. Then we got a handout to take home about internet parental controls. Thanks to that handout, I got stuck on AOL Kids for the next two years. Thank you, Michael Swaim, for calling up such an obscure memory. And fuck AOL Kids.
Didn't get internet access till I got to the city in maybe 1998. I can't say whether or not I'm glad I wasn't able to watch 5 thru 2 but I would've loved to have watched number 1 during Friends' heyday. That would have been more hilarious than right now.
An the funny thing is out of all the people who watched this video, me, you & maybe 3 other people got that reference. Does that make us awesome, or lame?
"OK, guys, I think I actually want to do some more episodes of Does Not Compute." "You sure about that? How are you going to keep the episodes fresh?" "Oh, that's easy. I'm getting rid of Clippy, and instead, I'm going to end each episode by screaming someone's name in primal rage."
lol I remember the whole suck in the internet thing. It was funny has hell cause it has always reminded me how TV was presented at one time as a soul sucking item, which was once dominated by the (photo not video) camera. It's amazing how each step in our technology we get the idea of it sucking us in.

Somewhere between Joystick Johnny and "I'd rather be on my computer than anything else" kid, I'm thinking there's a writer with an unusual bent towards getting boys to say double entendres.
If you have to have it explained to you the sexual innuendo of a teenage boy openly admitting he spends more time on his computer than anything else, then you need to do a little light reading.

Ah, the 90's....... I spent 10 years there, I remember very little about it, I think my mother had a dog and it was sunny at some point...
Yeah, and it wasn't a huge waste of time...
So I came upon this video as I was surfing the Information Super-Highway when a duck walked all over my web pages and I got sucked into the video, unable to do anything but finish watching.

You finished.
...I think that cybersex video has made me forget what arousal is.
Also, I keep forgetting there was a time when it was a normal thing not to be able to type.

a teenage boy called himself "joystick Johnny" in a video about computers.....why is no one else mentioning this xD
Whitney Dahlin that's the kid from Not Another Teen Movie who wanted that girl to shit on him. I recognized him right away

"BOO you shut up!" That rant got me laughing.
DOODOO POOPOO!? Jesus Christ.
I may just be drunk.. but number 4 onwards had me laughing more than any cracked video i've seen before
it's probably the alcohol, did you see Starship Icarus?
Field Marshal Fry They need to cage Swaim and force him to do videos alone for Cracked. Wait- HE IS CRACKED!

im still at joystick johnny
7:55 "Yea well nobodies leaving until somebodies man enough to play a little 3D pinball with old joystick Johnny" I wonder what kind of joystick, and why is joystick Johnny his nickname?
Because masturbation.
***** EVERYTHING IS A SEXUAL REFERENCE. EVERYTHING.
I believe that 15-20 years from now someone will make a video just like this & laugh at us, just like he did.
I hit the like button purely because there are no end cap video ads for other Cracked stuff. Yay! A Cracked video that actually fulfilled its run time!
Thinking about the 90's, it's like a fantasy world in odd colours and weird ideas.
Going into a chat room and announcing "WANNA CYBER" was the text version of a glory hole
A chat room argument involved them getting angry and threatening to track you down (some how) and fight you.

Just don't forget to use the tulley toggle.
I remember being very confused in the 90s that so many people could not work a computer. I mean, I was a child and could work one perfectly fine.
Swaim, I think you need to take some lessons in comedy from New Guy Weekly. I mean, I know you're trying, but you just don't get humor the way that he does. In my opinion he's funnier than the rest of the Cracked team combined.
Ok I can't do this with a straight face anymore.
So... now your face is gay?

Anyone remember the mid-90s Apple's infomercial for their consumer line of computers, the "Performa" series? It was one of the funniest things ever. A whole crappy sitcom based around a clique family and their entry-level Mac.
Thanks for bringing it back!! Subscribed because of this series. :D
weirdly watching this video feels like watching internet history itself
HEY! #2 is the sequel to the Family Guide to the Internet shown on RedLetterMedia! "Oooh, shopping! I like shopping!" "What's an internet service provider?"
I remember this time, it seemed so normal back then........
It seemed amazing back then! I remember when my BF (at the time) got us hooked up to the internet in 1993. All of our friends visited to check it out. Everyone was particularly impressed with a CD ROM that had a tiny video of basketball that went for about 30 seconds. Very impressive lol.

i literally choked on my snapple when # 2 popped up i was laughing so much and that theme song did not help at all XD
Please, bring back does not compute. I love this show.
Wow, very nice. This was probably the best episode of Does Not Compute to this date. Hilarious!
5:34 is quite possibly one of the strangest but best rants I've ever heard!
6:02 It's like reading Jules Vern, but with the addition of irony.
Also, it's funny that they can now use that exact scene, unedited, for an informational to discourage computer use.
He perfectly enunciated the quote marks around "Friends"
4:08 - Fun fact: the Chinese word for Cumpter "电脑" literally translates into "electric brain" :)
At least we're no longer getting spammed with free AOL CDs.
Oh FUCK, thanks alot for getting that Matchbox Twenty song stuck in my head again, Swaim
+Cracked you need to do a "Does not Compute" playlist. it is a very interesting subject on videos.
also: great video.
....... I remember some of these.
Dear god I'm getting old.
"Hey sexy whatcha wearing?"

You so rarely find an "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" reference. Or at least I do. I spit-took (spit-taked?) water all over my screen and keyboard.
I'm also happy to hear that at least some computer systems do not want to suck us inside them.
This is my favorite thing of the week.
It's awesome that you still do does not compute.
please tell me you are still making new episodes of this show and never leave cracked micheal you are the fucking best
No comment from Cracked on the most disturbing thing in the entire video? A grown man told a child to call himself "Joystick Johnny" in a commercial and we are supposed to be cool with this?
That first video was literally what they showed us in grade school, and being kids we all took it to heart. That was, until we actually went online
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is one of the best games of the 90s. Newfound respect to Cracked for mentioning it (or the book).
Even back then, I found these videos and PSA's absolutely hilarious. Then again, I had jumped from an "Atari 2600" to a "Commodore 64" in the 80's so I was already using dial up BBS's on that. Then, in '91, I got my first IBM PC. and was on dozens of dial up BBS's for years with that. Eventually I got on the internet through services like Delphi and such.

That sleeper cell joke was the best. Just the best.
I remember watching that first internet how to video in elementary school. So funny!
Lmfao swaim you're fucking awesome man. Whatever you do that gives you so much charisma, it's working :D
Where did you dig these up? That was great!
THIS IS BACK YAAAS
Caught in the web I remember seeing that throughout elementary school computer class. So from 2002-2005. Was a simpler time back than xD
They've finally Cracked the code!
I remember that kids guide to the internet video had to watch that one when i was in school back in the day
As someone who was there in the 90s ... it's all true. And very, very sad.
Didn't get internet access till I got to the city in maybe 1998. I can't say whether or not I'm glad I wasn't able to watch 5 thru 2 but I would've loved to have watched number 1 during Friends' heyday. That would have been more hilarious than right now.
An "I have no mouth and must scream" reference from Swaim, now I can die indifferent!
An the funny thing is out of all the people who watched this video, me, you & maybe 3 other people got that reference. Does that make us awesome, or lame?
haha definitely lame, but in an awesome way. like we can start a really exclusive club now and sneer at everybody else.
Well, I guess the cats was a good prediction, but that's isn't exactly fair. Humans have worshiped cats for centuries.
Those instructional videos were actually kind of helpful back in the day...now, they're just hilarious.
Wow, I don't remember the '90s being like that. How embarrassing.
"OK, guys, I think I actually want to do some more episodes of Does Not Compute."
"You sure about that? How are you going to keep the episodes fresh?"
"Oh, that's easy. I'm getting rid of Clippy, and instead, I'm going to end each episode by screaming someone's name in primal rage."
