Seeing our sound used to promote Stranger Things was honestly just funny and surreal for all of us.”

CROMWELL, CT, UNITED STATES, March 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What started as a spontaneous office joke at The Computer Company quickly turned into a viral moment and an unexpected connection to one of the world’s most popular television series.

The Connecticut-based IT services provider recently saw a casual workplace TikTok video surge to more than 3.1 million views, after posting a lighthearted clip of a coworker joking around with Gen Z slang about not letting a coworker ruin your vibe. The video was never intended as part of a marketing campaign. It was simply shared because the team found it funny.

Then Netflix reached out.

After the video gained traction online, Netflix contacted The Computer Company to request permission to use the original audio in a promotional TikTok for the upcoming final season of Stranger Things. The Netflix video features series stars Sadie Sink and Maya Hawke and tags The Computer Company as the source of the viral sound.

“This whole thing was completely unexpected,” said Vanessa Cirelli, Marketing Specialist at The Computer Company. “The video was just us joking around at work, and we never imagined it would lead to Netflix reaching out. Seeing our sound used to promote Stranger Things was honestly just funny and surreal for all of us.”

The moment highlights how authentic content can resonate far beyond its original audience. A simple office joke quickly transformed into a viral video seen by millions and unexpectedly linked a Connecticut technology company with a global entertainment phenomenon.

While The Computer Company is known for providing managed IT services, cybersecurity and technology consulting to businesses across Connecticut and beyond, the viral moment offered a fun glimpse into the company’s culture and the people behind the technology.
