This Ad Has All the Internet Nostalgia



In the early days of this millennia, the internet was a delightful playground of nonsense. That was back before everything turned political, there was no AI slop, scams were fewer, and monetization really wasn't much of a thing. Even bots and trolls were just a minor annoyance. The World Wide Web was full of people who just wanted to share a laugh and show off their creativity. An ad for Firefox takes us back to those days by resurrecting the biggest viral memes of the early internet, from Numa Numa to Chuck Testa. Beware, some of these folks have aged, especially the kids, so this compilation may make you feel old. If you show this to your children or grandchildren, you'll have to find the original videos and then you'll probably find yourself patiently trying to explain why they were funny. (via Metafilter)
