90s kids rejoice: Web browser that no one uses makes a really cool commercial

Internet Explorer ad tugs at heartstrings of Gen-Y users



Whether you love or hate Internet Explorer, you've got to admit that some of its ads are pretty good.

Microsoft's latest IE ad, dubbed “Child of the 90s,” tries to appeal to people who remember the web browser at its worst.

The video shows snapshots of passing 1990s fads, such as Slap Wraps and Pogs. Meanwhile, a narrator describes how things were different back then. (My favorite line: “Lunch was a puzzle, not a picture,” spoken while stacks of Lunchables arrange themselves for an Instagram-style photo.) Take a look.

I associate Hungry Hungry Hippos with the 80s, not the 90s. But yes, other than that, I am packing for the retirement home rn, fml

It's very cute and I appreciate the accurate details of my childhood, but it's still not gonna make me use Internet Explorer. :/

Fuck you, Internet Explorer. You are among the worst pieces of software ever.

omg no I have bad memories with lunchables. I spilled my milk on a kid's lunchable once by accident and then he tattled on me and said I did it on purpose. Then the lunch ladies made me sit at the awkward kid's lunch table for the rest of the year and I basically was forced to eat in silence.

Cute video but I will never use IE for personal use.

Some tech guy at work keeps uninstalling FF and/or GC about every week at my desk. So frustrating that I have to get on IE and to re-install it.
