It is rather peculiar how I never had nostalgic feelings for those eras due to the fact that I was not born yet, though I can still remember seeing the pipe screensaver in the doctor’s office. I guess my surroundings were kind of old-fashioned during those times.

Same-ish. I was born in 1999 but didn’t have internet or most tech of that time. We had no live TV either and that house still can’t get live TV or internet there. Literally every provider has said it can’t be done there. Anyways we mostly had VHS, cassette tapes, vintage towns from the 90s and older, etc.

I watched 3D pipes unironically for entertainment when I was a really young really dumb kid. I always thought the pipes had people crawling around inside trying to find their way through the maze, and I used to imagine myself alongside said explorers. It was my favorite because the pipes in an infinite black void was very mysterious to me, and I wondered why these pipes just conjured themselves out of nowhere. It's hard to explain why I loved it, but I watched the pipes go for hours.

As a 38 year old who had the overwhelming majority of these new, thank you. Many of these screensavers were simply my taken-for-granted daily items. I'd spend hours experimenting around with settings between all of these. I think voyeur from the twisted line was the most fascinating. I'd love to see you go over anything early 90's WIndows 3.1 or MS-DOS. I literally had no idea about the fucking teapot until literally today watching your video. you just taught my old ass something about a screensaver I spent WAY to long spacing out on in high school detention and at home.

For years I’ve had this necktie that I thrifted with spooky looking sets of eyes on it, like you’d see in the opening to scooby doo, and it had this label on the back of the company who made it. Their logo was a flying toaster and it was called “After Dark”. I’ve always wondered why their logo was that but never looked it up, just assuming they were a wacky tie company. I never would have guessed they were a screen saver company who made ties based off their screensavers!

OH and, my brother changed it to a Daria screensaver once, it BLASTED music in the middle of the night, scared the shit out of me.

Watching flying toasters and randomly generated pipes for no other reason than the fascination of it all.

I had one screensaver back on a Windows 7 touchscreen computer that was a bird's-eye view of some fish swimming around in shallow water, and wherever you tap on the screen it makes a ripple and the fish go towards it. Also just to note: 4:03 - "Bezier" is pronounced like "Bez-yay", 4:40 - "Wagner" is pronounced like "V-ah-gner", 15:50 - "Arabesque" is pronounced like "Air-a-besk".

There's a screensaver I remember that I've never seen mentioned online (possibly because it wasn't very popular?). It was little drawings being done and sometimes things about them would change as they were being done. I specifically remember that there was one of a man in the rain, wearing a yellow raincoat, and at the end he gets struck by lightning.

When I was little, we had an American Greetings CD-ROM that basically just let you customize your own American Greetings card (which my sisters and I found MANY excuses to make cards with lol). Most importantly though, it came with its own screensaver that featured a collection of various art "speedpaints". I found this one MESMERIZING. I could seriously sit forever and watch various colors and textures splash across the screen and try to guess what picture it was going to be before it completed. Even now, I find myself thinking about it every once in a while

Man, they really should bring back screensavers. Even if the screens of today are immune to burn-in, screensavers have so much charm!

I'm missing Johnny Castaway, that screensaver told an entire story if you watch all the scenes that randomly play out. Otherwise really cool video man.

I remember we had our own computers at our grandparents place and we would play a bunch of educational games on them. But I honestly really liked just watching the screensavers. We had a dancing Pikachu one which was my favorite, but I think my grandpa would rotate them out occasionally. I definitely remember a maze one and a pipes one, I just don't think they were the after dark ones

There was a period in the early 2010s where some games would be your screensaver. One I played was called Endless Forest. When you wanted to play the game you would wait for your computer to go into screensaver mode and then the game would start.

You know what was most fun: Windows 98 themes, with custom sounds, startup music, screensavers, everything. I still remember Lion king theme with FULL 1 minute Whimaway Whimaway intro. This should return

Bro the ribbons and 3d pipes are in the top 3 most nostalgic screensavers for me. But they don’t even get cloooose to #1, which is *definitely* 3d flowerbox. I love that thing to death.
