The Website is Down #2: Excel Hell

[@David-di5bo]

I've seen this so many times and I just noticed at 0:37 Chip has been carefully trying to find, and put back in their original place, each shortcut icon one by one. This series is so freaking genius!

[@robadams6173]

there's also a shortcut in the bottom left corner saying arrange by penis hahah

[@mpjstuff]

"Shortcut to mouse" -- I found myself stopping to read all those little desktop droppings.

[@razordu30]

"Do you want to save?" "Yes" - I actually flinched.

[@davidb3491]

I did 2 decades ago 😂

[@iguessAlexandria]

"You probably browse the web with PowerPoint." hahahaha

[@furykillerBZ]

It's true though...sales guys really do think they can do anything with PowerPoint

[@dracoblackstone5492]

I mean it's turing complete, it's possible.

[@Mazra42]

The Minesweeper finale was priceless.

[@voidofmind]

"You sales guys think you can do everything with powerpoint, you probably browse the web with powerpoint" SO true

[@David-di5bo]

Why do I still watch these after 8 years? Because due to all of its deep details, I STILL find something new each time. For example Chip's emails from his ex-wife at 0:47. Who puts in details like this that he knows 99.9% of his viewers will never see? It is so admirable. I really wish this guy would come back.

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

Agreed. One of the biggest laughs I get out of this is the pop-up with the title "Dialog box from the system."

[@bigdisme5622]

Still watching it after 8+ years. I miss these days when I worked Corporate enviroment.

[@jaquanlabenne9744]

and 2 emails below that is an email about his child support coming out of his payroll

[@DRollPenguin]

"i've actually been waiting for your call" "whoa really?" "well...no, but my boss just read an article in blight magazine about you guys and..now he's interested in your piece of shit software" lmao

[@LordBobyness]

2:57 Chip gets a popup for his own company :P

[@CazRaX]

It even says Ask for "Chip"

[@michaelolsen391]

If you laughed so hard you almost cried, you might be an IT support guy

[@ThereWasNoFreeName]

michael olsen OH GOD! I never thought of it. Maybe... Maybe i'm a latent IT guy... Jesus, how do i tell this to my family? Won't they reject me?

[@furymadness2254]

michael olsen I lost it when I realised that it's a ppt document with the title Excel.

[@Isaac1995]

Yeah, I work in IT and I've shown every manager I've had this series of videos and they all loved it!

[@zedzedski7382]

I cried because this is what I have to deal with every day.

[@sawekk.6180]

I cried but didn't laugh :(

[@ryanhawksley1779]

"I live by a school...of course I know what a MILF is" That line alone is miles better comedy then most of the crap they release today on TV.

[@chrism4403]

*than

[@GHOULplaysGrimm]

the part where he is in powerpoint and the sheet is called Excel had me dying.

[@sneezydeezymcdeluxe7015]

It took me half the video to realise he was using fucking PowerPoint lmao.

[@SuperFeatherYoshi]

In case anyone wonders, the Chinese part seems to be an excerpt from some Taiwanese magazine about Avril getting married.

[@glassicfn2027]

love the genuine surprise from web dude when chip knew the hotkey

[@amh7452]

There's SO MUCH to pause and read on this. Phenomenal! ...And he starts off trying to manually rebuild his FUK U desktop 😂

[@COMICRlf]

"What does it say at the top?" "Powerpoint Excel" LOL.

[@bugnar7]

that computer must be so damn powerfull to run all these spyware and still operate smotthly like that

[@Marckillius]

Windows 98 was just that efficient.

[@Swoost]

I have anxiety from watching this

[@АнатолийАнатолий-п1д]

Same. I actually watched the whole video with a grim face. And it was becoming grimer with every action the guy did. That was painful.

[@Signosaurus]

Haha. Fantastic. Almost laughed as much as I did when I saw the first one. I imagine they're quite time consuming to make but it is indeed a shame that you don't produce more. I guess it's a true sign of my nerdiness that I felt slightly stressed whilst watching him screw the 'Excel table' up. Noo.. just.. just move it back and.. AHHHHHHHHH!

[@chs2144]

I love that it took me 5 minutes to notice he wasn't closing the pop ups but was clicking yes to all of them

[@chatanugadotorg]

What's scary is how close to reality this is. The other day, I had a lady call wanting help with saving a PowerPoint presentation. I remote into her PC to help her save it. She then wanted to make sure it would open. She actually asked, "I use Microsoft Word to open it now, right?"

[@yeetcannonplays]

That's scary.

[@bigallah6937]

Imagine having users refer to Excel spreadsheets as "databases"

[@chatanugadotorg]

@@bigallah6937 I'm sure I've had some people do that in my years of doing tech support.

[@cdphotography2]

We need more of these especially with ransom ware being up front now a days. These are hilarious

[@jrwyt-thewebsiteisdown]

If by ransomware you mean "send bitcoin or I'll feature your company in my next video" then I'm in.

[@cdphotography2]

@@jrwyt-thewebsiteisdown ABSOLTELY. In the meantime I can watch/listen to these all day.

[@EdgeOf1996]

Over 10 years later, watching this guy use his PC still gives me anxiety.

[@coryschallert8915]

its the day that we humans have to monitor.

[@metalgeo]

Hahahah. I love it how Aaron goes "Hooooooly shit" when Chip strikes with Minesweeper once again.

[@sammbci]

Anyone else notice that Web Dude calls the "save" dialog a "popup box from the system", and then at 8:10 a popup pops up that's called "A dialog box from the system"? LOL

[@Holgast]

There are a lot of insane tiny details in here. Unusually high quality video from 2009, too.

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

He also has another MILF.exe on his desktop.

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

that is my favorite part of this

[@Browningate]

"Your insurance company doesn't want you to read this free $10 workbook."

[@Clawf1ng3r]

INSTALL MORE SPYWARE *click*

[@simplegarak]

Years later, here I am still hoping for "son of website is down" to bring us back the laughs we need.

[@David-di5bo]

8:10 one of the virus pop ups is titled "dialog box from the system" 😂 13 years of coming back to this video and I still find new details

[@dan19beav74]

This one is my favorite. SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL

[@Isaac1995]

I was pissing myself when he actually typed out "ALT I R" instead of the intended keystroke I fucking lost it at Powerpoint Excel. And yes, I do work in IT haha

[@alane4303]

And when web dude told him to click on a cell and type something, sales guy typed "something" lol

[@mattstacey6058]

"You'd probably browse the web with PowerPoint" LMAO

[@hmmlimmethink]

he really did have 700 mines on the board lol

[@Daniel15au]

8:18 "I'm trying to eat lunch"... At 5:42 PM? Hahaha

[@arahman56]

IT Life.

[@wessleeysnipez]

I just started watching your videos and they are awesome. I'm trying to get into system administrator myself and if it's anything like this I'm going to love it hahahah

[@jrwyt-thewebsiteisdown]

Haha yeah you're going to have a blast.

[@kawaiikurwa]

it's him!!!!

[@XxGamersUnitedxX]

Continue this series it's the funniest thing on youtube!

[@JMaldonado64]

My two favorite poopups: 2:16 LIGHTLY USED REAL DOLLS! 3:32 LEARN TO SMOKE THE HEALTHY WAY!!! : )))

[@jeffersonblackmon]

Those pop ups would come in groups of 5 to 8 - it was insane. If you click wrong you pay...LOL. I laughed every time he click on Install 🤣🤣🤣

[@Isaac1995]

Are you on PowerPoint? What does it say at the top? Powerpoint Excel -_-

[@travisjohnson6676]

my favorite line: "You probably browse the web with Powerpoint."

[@__dudewitagun__4607]

I love how he's playing Wolfenstein 3D

[@p3nguin11]

Powerpoint Excell, too good oh man laughing so hard!

[@WhoaChoccy]

Haha, watching this again years later, and there's still stuff I didn't catch. One of the popups is for software from the company they all work for lol.

[@CursedLemon]

"It's NOT impossible and I'm DOING it" The absolute undeserved confidence

[@David-di5bo]

4:29 the "unfinished" pop-up.

[@onedead]

Did anyone notice the 'sales guy' kept clicking on the button from the pop-ups that said "Install More Spyware?" LMAO - oh man, that was great! Thanks for the laugh...

[@iboomgold]

haha, "i didnt roll my 12 sided die to protect me from computer viruses!" that hurt a little when he said that, still lol'd

[@run4life2]

these videos are absolutely phenominal, i mean theyre just great i can't even put into words about how fucking awesome it is

[@hakinen4000]

you guys need to bring these back. They are gold.

[@nyChannel09]

The dude told me its a virus and its been fkin with my computer. So well done!

[@exildur]

This makes me want to become a tech support guy. Just play games all day, and when you get an actual work related call, its all fun and laughter.

[@jimhart5797]

It's been 12 years. Did you become a tech support guy? I'm rooting for you.

[@exildur]

@@jimhart5797 I did Jim! 2 years after I posted this comment I was a first line tech support for a college. And it was exactly as this video portrayed, we had insane users and had laughs about their escapades all day. I've since moved onto become a software developer, but I started out in IT thanks to this video. Dreams do come true 😁

[@MD-pz3cn]

​@@exildur Heck yeah, that is awesome. Stoked for you!

[@Wadley225]

8:30 - that was the most sincere and heartfelt "FUCK" ever! :)

[@BluishGreenPro]

I love this show, With all those pop-ups and stuff it looks really hard to make!

[@UnexpectedTokens]

one of the popups's title is "dialog box from the system" XDDDD... and when he lost the minesweeper game he was on the last one... only noticed after watching it 10 years later hahaha

[@EnsignN7]

haha just noticed in the sales calls hints and tips slide that all sales people use powerpoint and never excel nor access.

[@dopepoo]

That was AGONIZING to watch in all of the RIGHT ways! :) Awesome work, love it!

[@mmbbsqw1d]

Dunno why i just remembered this but I'm glad i did

[@Clutchamor]

I like how he still has the b ackground from the first episode, haha

[@streetleveltech]

I did desktop support and later network support for a major multinational corporation and this video series cracks me up every time I see it.

[@gunnerzip]

As a tech support specialist, I rage when people making twice my salary do this shit. Happens all the time

[@karliah1337]

That ending tho lmao I'd be PISSED! fuckin minesweeper.

[@Kapparillo]

The PowerPoint file's name is Excel.ppt 😂

[@Spicysauce1234]

the pause at 5:00 is so funny! XD " you know I don't... know how to do that"

[@nyChannel09]

Im out of rows on excel, love it

[@joffrecordan]

Okay, so having played mine-sweeper, his game is actually very impressive. Every one of those 8s is surrounded on all sides by mines.

[@jamwithash]

It's possible to use a debugger to read the location of the mines from Minesweeper's memory and create a map of where they all are so you can click the right squares for recording this video.

[@Schule04]

@@jamwithashOr just use the cheat code which shows on the top left pixel of your display if there is a bomb or not

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Same here... lol. I need to pause and advance frame per frame to read all the pop-ups. Love the pop-up trailer one.

[@mathboy_]

8:10 Popup labeled: Dialog Box From the System

[@mosipd]

He missed some treasure and a hidden door on level 4.

This really does hit way close to home. I'm a desktop and application support tech for a big corporation, and I get this kind of thing all the time. I had a guy suggest that "the video drivers got fried on the motherboard". The monitor was unplugged. No joke.

How did I just discover this? This series is fucking amazing!

[@romadmike1]

If it makes you feel better, I just discovered this in 2021 haha

[@peterbaumgartner4878]

Even in 2023 these are still spot on. You should do one where there is a broadcast storm because some idiot decided to download malware that DDOS's the whole network. As a network admin that is pretty much all I hear about when in fact its just a stubborn port or someone didn't plug in their ethernet cable.

[@Forora]

I literally just discovered this, and i'm so glad.

[@neophobicnyctophile8264]

Every frame of these videos has something worth reading

[@TheAtariSan]

Can we buy the adobe air softrware that generate the popup if you still got it or can you upload it to webarchive so we can preserve it. I have been wanting to buy it for 6 years but the website don't feature it anymore for sale.
