“Everybody DOS now”
Near the end it becomes clear that it’s a video aimed at resellers (not the general public), and then it becomes a lot easier to believe that it was made corny on purpose. This was, after all, the time before the web and the immediate leak of all embarrassing footage. :-)
Regardless of the intent with the video, what made me sad when watching it was that there are “performing artists” who make a living doing ads like this. :-/
