You know it's messed up when Smithers O'neil himself got creeped out 😂

[Spaztar]

Smithers and Lilah are a match made in the ninth circle of hell

[illuminahde]

The Internet has always been a place for such wonderfully wholesome interactions.

[gurrenmed]

That "5 minutes" she hasn't responded was too real

[HanakoTaco]

Truly the king felt fear for the first time in his 90s life

[WheelzGaming]

I feel like there was legit chemistry here

Alternate title: "Smithers looks in a digital mirror & sees how much of a monster he really is"

[weniard]

I really enjoyed this video, what should I do now?
a. Proceed with telling the YouTuber how much I enjoy his videos.
b. Lie and say it was boring.
c. Avoid commenting at all.

Let’s go with option a!

Moral of the story: there's always a bigger fish, even if you're --absolute psychopath-- friendly member of an online community

[brickmack]

I need Lilah, she's perfect. Edit: I wrote this before the "give me a baby part", now I need her even more

[mariiriin]

One thing I always love about these skits is how it always goes completely unhinged and had a twist I didn't see coming by the end. Truly comedy gold

"Incogni protects your privacy"
I KNOW YOUR ADDRESS

[ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty]

Didn't even bother to read the title or thumbnail, I just saw Skycorp and clicked. That's how loyal I am to the corporation. My life, my soul, my pets, my family all belong to the white collar machine.

[BSemperGumby]

The nice guy rage responses were too perfect

[daisybee]

When the world needed him the most, he came back.

[maumiceli]

Lol I opened this video (recommended by YouTube) thinking it was an actually old tutorial. I found gold. Very bizarre and unique gold.

[kimikothetanuki]

I got Lilah breaking down my door. I finally can see a girl! Thank you Skycorp!

[spacegirl]

I adore the nostalgia on this channel. I miss the heady days of chat messengers and the toll free TV ads. The 90s were such a fun time.

Not like this cursed timeline.

Thank you, Skycorp Home Video, for your dedication to the glorious past.

These videos are criminally underviewed. Please make more. Not everyone will appreciate your immense skill, but I will.
