Learn About Windows 95 With The Cast Of Friends


(YouTube Link)

Who would make the ideal hosts for a promotional video about Windows 95? Why, Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston, stars of the wildly popular TV show Friends, of course!

The casting choice seems a bit odd, but it makes sense in terms of the show's popularity at the time. And, although it seems like a celebrity marketing scheme gone wrong, Windows 95 went large for Microsoft so maybe they were on to something with the Friends connection.

Extra Credit: See if you can sit through the entire ten minute video without wanting to gouge out your eyes and/or jam ballpoint pens into your ears!

i made the mistake of watching the bit when they mention "the red button" and the fact that they shouldn't push it... out of curiosity i had to fast forward until the 4th part the promotional video to see what the red button actually did.. and yes, it was very disappointing to find out what the red button was for... but the good part is that i got to meet all the "wacky" characters.. and yes, that was not good at all, and i despise myself now

WRONG. The rose doesn't go until his 21st birthday, it goes until his 21st year. Obviously he was not 11 when he was transformed - please note the portrait he tears up and Belle subsequently finds. It's how he looks at the end of the movie, not a child. While a beast his human form has not aged. As for the "10 years we've been rusting" line, the most likely explanation is that the castle has only been essentially abandoned for 10 years. The castle would have been full of people when the enchantress came by, even though there was a beast it would have taken years for people to stop coming. Odds are some knew about the curse and his need to find love and even brought prospects for him (likely in hopes of political gain or money) and thereby the servants had something to do. People to take care of. Until they stopped 10 years ago.

Don't know the mathematics or beast year hypothesizes, but there was a X-Mas sequel (with Tim Curry as the villain). In there I remember a sort of flask-back that does show Prince Adam refusing the enchantress's request. He looks to be between 10-13 years old in that flashback. Just pointing that out.
