You know who needs a comeback?

This guy.



The startling rise and heartbreaking fall of the Dell dude a few years back tells me that the world is ready to receive and embrace the Encyclopedia Britannica kid. Where is he now? Find out here.

APL, I agree with you 100%. the bad hair, the plastic skin, the horrible glasses.

But the other guy... Dude, I got a Dell and it was all his fault.

It's amazing how strong a reaction Donovan Freberg (that's his name) gets, even years later. Do a Google search for "Encyclopedia Britannica kid" and watch the hatred fly.

Benjamin Curtis isn't nearly as despised, but it is harder to hate a stoner than it is to hate an arrogant jackass. Give it time, dude.

The following excerpt is from this link:

Doctor: Our friend Steven here is a very sick young man, and knows better than to be out of his restraints after sundown. I have personally diagnosed Steven with over 37 psychological disorders, including manic depression, bipolar disorder, Munchausen Syndrome, and gender dysphoria.

Steven the Dell Computer Kid: That last one's pretty bad!

Doctor: He also suffers from hyperactivity of the face, for which, sadly, there is no cure.

Steven the Dell Computer Kid: My soul aches, and my cheeks feel like fire!

Doctor: Time to go, buddy.

Steven the Dell Computer Kid: Dude, I'm getting Thorazine!
