  I wanna break the internet! I tried it, but I didn’t break it.

  Funny clip, thanks for sharing!

  I looooooooove that show. Believe me, I’ve done that heaps of times when trying to find something on the Google site - do you know their search takes only 0.3 seconds with an enormous number of references but other searches seem to take much longer? Now, why is that?

  Dawud, what a change! I just could not stop laughing. The expression on the guy who starts it all off is worth watching again and again.

  Mi,
  I tried too. Just thought the clip was cute.

  Kathie,
  I’ve searched Google in the past just to see what came up. Found some interesting parts of Google I didn’t know about.

  Home Recording,
  It was a pretty good one, huh? Just sharing a laugh here and there.

  If that doesn’t work, you can try the method described in this clip from the Onion:

  It is a bit more labor-intensive, of course.

  LOL!!! Thanks for sharing.
  Lets break it now!!

  If the internet breaks, you just need to unplug it, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in… just like in the episode of South Park

  Everyone,
  Nice followups.

  Haha…this is hilarious. I wish it was really this easy for the internet to go down…then maybe I wouldn’t waste so much time.

  You People Are Breaking the Internet!

  The Times warns us that because so many people watch funny videos of talking cats and dancing teenage girls on the internet these days, there might not be enough internet left for the rest of us! It’s true: there is only so much internet, and YouTube is using like all of it. “In a widely cited report published last November, a research firm projected that user demand for the Internet could outpace network capacity by 2011.” Oh no! We were totally planning to watch “I’m fucking Seth Rogen” that year! This is almost as bad as the time the internet totally suffered that “catastrophic collapse” in 1996, according to that 1995 prediction by engineer Robert Metcalfe. Man, the internet never recovered that that nonexistent disaster, we can only imagine how it’ll fare after this one. [NYT]

  That was pretty funny - I was trying to guess what she would say - thought maybe something like unplugging your computer. Never thought of googling google.

• Jonathan Frank Apr 27, 2008 at 7:33 pm  

  That was great, it made me go back and watch a few of my short clips from Office Space! I did find an interesting article on Fox News about “the grid” from Cern that already has a solution for the shortage of bandwidth on the internet. So don’t worry, watch more videos and have a good laugh!

  Everyone,
  I’m just wondering when we’re going to see fiber cable in all our homes…

• Jacinda May 1, 2008 at 8:57 am  

  I’ve never seen that before. What show is it from?

• Megapixels May 7, 2008 at 10:58 pm  

  I had an IT manager like that once Just one of the many things that drove me out of the corporate world.

• Mari May 12, 2008 at 9:20 pm
