The Tuesday Videos: Tech Support Edition

by Kevin Pettway on November 8, 2011

Our first video is of a 2001 Norwegian comedy skit. Time, I’m afraid, has only made it more relevant and amusing.

Not having Spike, I never saw this next commercial. Just in case you haven’t either, here’s a brief primer on why it may be inadvisable to bring a Sith lord to any kind of competitive sporting match.

And finally, the Darknight Detective, being brilliant as ever.

Video 1: Yeah. I know people like that.
Video 2: Man, I must be the only nerd alive who thinks sith jokes are lame.
Video 3: That was great.

Yesterday, about Florida, Kevin said the following: “Lots of folks simply consider it a place for New Jerseyites to go to die.” I would like to point out that a lot of people from Canada also go to Florida to die. Then again, “lots of people” in Canadian terms is like, 6. 6 is a lot of people in Canada.

I raise my eyebrow at you sir, I have that many in my igloo. Of course that’s because I’m from Toronto; we build bigger igloos here.

Hypothetical question.

Would you agree that 6 is a lot of people from your igloo?

anonymous coward November 8, 2011 at 12:46 pm

I… guess? It is one of those high-rise multi-story igloos with multiple coleman vents.

And your igloo is in Toronto.

So that means that 6 people is a lot of people in Toronto.

And everyone knows that Toronto = Canada, so 6 people is a lot of people in Canada.

Over the years, I’ve run into more people from New York than New Jersey here in Florida. YMMV.

We’ll include a special, “… and New York” just for you, Ron!

Ron November 8, 2011 at 8:10 am

Umm. Thanks?

I can’t tell you how many Floridians I have seen in Virginia lately… migration?

Ron November 8, 2011 at 8:12 pm

Probably fleeing the New Yorkers and New Jerseyites.

What’s that thing the guy in Video 1 is trying to open? Is it a kindle or an ipad? I don’t think I’ve seen one before and I’m normally quite up on new technology!

Chris November 8, 2011 at 9:11 am

I myself was waiting for Siri to tell me it what it was.

I think it’s some newfangled thing called a “Hard Copy” (Not related to the Tabloid TV Show…)

Kevin Pettway November 9, 2011 at 10:07 am

It’s what an ibook looks like when you take it out of your tablet.

Christina November 9, 2011 at 4:24 pm

What foul wizardry is this, Sir?

Somewhere out there must be a short (german) sequence related to #1 (from memory):
Teacher shows book in class around.
Children: “Where’s the on/off switch?” etc.
Teacher grabs book, says “listen!” and bumps it on one child’s head.
Child: “Sounds hollow.”
Teacher: “That’s not because of the book!”

Heh.
