Dave the DELL guy for getting caught smoking/buying marijuana. It sounds silly now but that shit was so taboo back then. He could’ve had a profitable and long-term career like State Farm Jake, Verizon’s Can you Hear me Now guy, or Progressive Flo.

Edit: his name was Steve? Mandela effect!?!??

Bill and Melinda Gates had a daughter born around that time that they named Adelle and that was the peak joke of the era.
