    • capiCrimm, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9I recommend museums. They're free and if you set up some poles around you most people will think your a avant-garde animatronic critic on modern man.
      • VtmnR, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Wow, I actually had to read that twice to get the joke!
  • xtmno3, on 10/11/2007, -19/+8*Insert tube joke here*
    • npiv, on 10/11/2007, -12/+6The first time someone said "insert xxxx joke here, it was original, and funny.

      How desperate for diggs are you, that for lack of commentary to the video, you ask people to make up their own joke. And then thank you for giving them the brilliant idea to do so.
    • kalleanka, on 10/11/2007, -4/+61Your momma is so big, so that when I downloaded her picture on Flickr, the tubes clogged and the entire Internet was shut down.

    • Thefascist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Finally, some music a black man can enjoy.
  • manmademark, on 10/11/2007, -6/+22That was pretty damn well done.
    • Phyltre, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10It's the Onion. Dry humor is the core of their being.
  • chris1out, on 10/11/2007, -12/+3Best done video on youtube in quite awhile.
  • gnychis, on 10/11/2007, -5/+176and in other news, the RIAA realizes CD sales have not increased during the crash. They've decided to start suing cash register manufacturers, claiming CD sales are 'not ringing up correctly'
    • Thefascist, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1No, better yet, they should sue the american people for making them think that that's what they wanted. All the marketing research was showing that.
  • amunimanghi, on 10/11/2007, -16/+7The host should have said 'internets' instead of 'internet'.
  • gamename14, on 10/11/2007, -7/+4The internet shutting down would be like the end of Ernest Scared Stupid when everyone regains their souls and turns back into real people.
  • Disease, on 10/11/2007, -8/+47You've all clearly never heard of The Onion

    http://www.theonion.com/content/index
    • Pilot85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7actually, the "onion-n-n" in the title kinda gave it away.
      • RussellDovey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I seriously thought it was CNN for a full 30 seconds.
  • JoeDiggsIt, on 10/11/2007, -2/+89The Most Stupid Youtube Comment Evar: goes to nkologe (1 day ago)

  • mal5305, on 10/11/2007, -0/+38credit/source should go to The Onion, not youtube...
  • novakane, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Awesome! That was the best laugh all day! thanks copart
  • Shivalyn, on 10/11/2007, -6/+35That was awesome.

    "Nigeria, with over 30% of it's gross national product being contributed to the internet, was the first to suffer from the outage"

    Greatness. Horrible paraphrasing but still.
    • joemofo214, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29it was 90%, not 30
      • Phyltre, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Just goes to show his paraphrasing was, in fact, as horrible as advertised. I think it's a win/win.
    • urusaiglass, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0yeah 90% and hilarious as well. I cant tell you how many times I've had some Nigerian scam artist buy something I put on ebay and then try to scam me on it. I refuse to use it anymore because of them.
  • socoolisme, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6the tubes are clogged
    • S1ngular1ty1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Good thing will still have large trucks. Oh wait.....that'll never work.

  • romainechester, on 10/11/2007, -2/+33Hahaha!
    "He defended himself via a letter he transmitted to us via an archaic telephone line-based network of low quality printers"
    Wow... I didn't know the fax machine had the title of "archaic" now.
    • Phyltre, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Oh, it feels real current-gen until it jams the paper on your end and prints big black pixellated blobs on theirs. Then you dropkick that infernal abortion of stained plastic and error messages back into the stone age.

      ...ever seen Office Space?
  • timaepi, on 10/11/2007, -14/+1Yikes! This is worse any SNL skit this decade....
    • gr3yn3t, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Actually, it was quality satirical humor.

      Go watch Scary movie 11.
    • diizy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1BHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAH SNL SKIT AHAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHA.

      *Ahem*
    • ByronT, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I agree.
  • zohar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6The comments that scroll at the bottom of the video are just as funny.
  • timo1023, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Correction: The InternetS ARE down.
  • mrchin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6If only he had upgraded his eMac to an iMac, everything would be ok.
  • ajb2015, on 10/11/2007, -9/+3this is fake. buried as inaccurate.
  • nectom, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0Afew years ago some groups got together and attempted to crash some of the main hubs. Would've been kinda cool if it worked out.
  • rebirf, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2I'd kill myself.
  • holygram, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1Works for me just fine....-shrug-
  • firebhaal, on 10/11/2007, -4/+0"I just want to CTRL-ALT-DELETE myself."

    ahaha
  • bat-21, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18I'll probably get dugg down for this but...

    The dancing gif is not Linus but an obscure Peanuts character named 5 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_95472 ).
  • scojerroc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1the system is down, yo.
  • HappyDonut, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0Was it just me or was this ironic. Considering the fact that they're telling us the internet was down and yet we're watching it online...
  • victorycig, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Was that Ze Frank handing out fliers on the street?
    • Gregus1032, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1it does kinda look like him, and the fact that duckies were on the paper just makes it more likely
  • kongdong, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Ha ha. I love how the guy in the youtube comments gets his ass chewed out when he says it was fake.
  • SamyIsMyHero, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2KNOCK ON WOOD jeeze people
  • ByronT, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1I didn't think it was that funny. It was well edited and produced, yes, but yeah, like a new SNL sketch... I mean just throwing around terms and ideas that we (as more advanced computer uses) know doesn't make it funny, a prime example being the control-alt-delete joke. Meh.
  • p0tent1al, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Can anyone tell me if this is actually possible? I mean if the Government wanted something like this to happen, cuz this kinda scares me, if the internet was to go down in any shape or form, we would really be in trouble.
  • hufse, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3When is it coming back up again? I'm waiting on an important email.
    • eggo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Slow down man! It's not a big truck you know...
      Sometimes Internets sent on Friday don't get there until Monday
  • DogGunn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1The Internet died in Australia not long ago - and it was for real as well. People couldn't use it, and it happened with all ISPs in Australia and New Zealand at the same time.
  • winsucker, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Gr8-now i need to puke!
  • TheSmitty, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Oh if only it would happen for real. Could you imagine? What would the majority of geeks/losers who have no real friends and are not attractive at all do? Not only could they not Digg, they would have to jack-off to old pictures/videos.....
    • RussellDovey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I applaud your utter disregard for your fellow man. Pain is what the world needs, sir, and looking at your face will achieve that admirably.
  • turquoisefish, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1I can't believe nobody has noticed this is a dupe:
    http://www.digg.com/videos/comedy/Breaking_News_All_Online_Data_Lost_After_Internet_Crash_Onion_News_Story It's even in the same section, but the original is from the source not YouTube
  • shinedout, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0dugg solely because some jackass above me buried it because he was angry for this video being, "innaccurate." - awesome job whoever made this vid.
  • verycoolwinter, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0CALLING ALL DIGGERS! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN SEE THIS PAGE IF THE INTERNET IS DOWN? SMELL CONSPIRACY?
  • civperc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1LOL dugg for being a fantastic spoof
