WOW! How times have changed. I remember a commercial that was similar to the one that you posted. That was the commercial that got me introduced to the Internet…in 1995. Man do I feel old.

Why do I keep getting messages on AOL kids about my age, gender, location, and when they can come over?  |

I asked my parents to get America Online because WWE had its official web presence there (keyword: SUPERSTARS). I subscribed to WWE Magazine, and it seemed like every issue came with a “Free 50 hours of AOL” disc.

Seeing this really reminds me how convenient the internet has made things. There's so much we take for granted now.

Man, I remember when I had to sneak away the Sears catalog to my room for the pictures of women in their underwear. Now all I have to to do is type "Transsexual catgirls" into Google.

Man, I thought my first AOL Hometown page was the coolest thing ever. Told all my friends “I got a site!”! It was me talking about what wrestling themes I thought were cool and terrible Bugs Life fanfiction, but dammit, it was mine.

That sounds like a website I would like now!  A Bug's Life is one of my favorite Pixar movies. |

"Holy shit dude, check it out! I found a MIDI of Bret Hart's Entrance Music!"
I kinda miss the days where 3 times a week you could find somebody claiming that HBK/Hall/Nash were totally going to leave WCW/WWF to get back with their friends. Back then you never saw HHH included in those rumors because he was just that douchebag midcarder and people only cared about his bodyguard Chyna.

I believe John Oliver had a parody of that ad on his show. In fact, I know he did. [Insert typical language/topic warnings here] |

Whenever someone brings up the glory days of AOL, this spoof commercial pops into my head (warning: definitely NSFW):
