And the buffering
Oh boy did we buffer.
We buffered like it was 1999.
Surprised they didn’t wheel him out too
He was still buffering
Buffer me harder, daddy
Netflix probably didn't want to pay his fee, which I'm sure is up there given that he is 80
You just reminded me of an awful joke my mom made many times about partying like it's 1999 which I'm sure you're referencing. Many times I asked her what our plans were and she would start singing that line in cringier and cringier ways that I groaned more and more as a kid, teenager, and adult. She passed unexpectedly a few years back.
All that to say, thanks for the rare reference I haven't heard since, and I internally groaned again. I hope you have people to groan about it like I do you cheeky devil.
I never had it buffer once on me. Pirate IPTV > paying for a streaming svc.
My legit method was buffering...my bootleg cable had bad audio sync by 30 seconds. I ended up streaming Netflix from my phone to my TV...
Let's be a little more honest on that one. Yes, IPTV is cheaper but also yes, it does buffer. I tried looking for it there but must have searched badly.
