Worth Watching: Master of the Internet

09:04 AM PT, May 30 2008

This is the best mid-90s retro parody commercial I've ever seen.  They must've actually gotten out an old VHS camcorder and set up 15-year-old computers and software to increase verisimilitude... impressive.   

After digging around, it looks like these are the same guys that did this mid-90s retro soap opera parody, which has about the same aesthetic.
