In the video, Perry and Aniston get schooled on things like the then-new Windows Start menu and Microsoft Office 95, quipping the whole time. It's worth the price of admission to hear Aniston refer to a disk as a "Flappy," at around fifteen minutes in.

It's full of wonderful nineties nostalgia, with Perry and Aniston expressing what seems like genuine confusion about things like saving files and using the Internet, all over a ridiculous soundtrack that sounds like the Seinfeld theme song played on a loop.
