I do think they can keep it going without broken iPhones...or else this series will be over WAY too soon (and I want more! :P).

Personally, I had the feeling it wasn't Grahams joke to begin with. It didn't feel "up to standard", but he tried to make the best of it with his delivery.


I didn't get it until someone mentioned "Who makes the iPhone?" in this thread. I just assumed it would be addressed later and didn't worry about it.

When I got it, I laughed. Loud.

I loved the apple joke, I didn't get it right away, but I love jokes that take some thought.
The next person in line is it.

I too loved the apple joke. My favorite part of the episode was Graham running up to Matt at the end. Perfectly played.

I am one of the guys who didn't get the apple thing until the "who makes the iPhone hint" and at that point I smacked my forehead and felt stupid. That said, I lol'd.

Also, like the other two guys, allow me to compliment use of the MX revolution. <3 that mouse (as long as you have uber-options to get your middle-click, like every other mouse ever).

I have a question, though. If you guys are playing yourselves, even including the "running a sketch comedy website" part, does that also include commodore hustle? And for that matter, will commodore hustle be discussed in a future commodore hustle? If that were to happen, hypothetically, and you guys discussed a discussion on commodore hustle within commodore hustle in the next commodore hustle video, would that infinite recursion possibly be funny?

Derailing your point, I think it specifically excludes HUSTLE as a LRR video in that continuity. The only video that's done that I think is Quantum Documentary.

Is that speculation, or did I fail to notice something? On that note, I guess you're right in that any and all possible jokes have been done before.

I just want to say I love this series So. Much.
I was just a little disappointed when it turned out that Matt just dropped his Xbox (I was convinced it somehow went through the wash), but hey. You guys are awesome.

I believe it's just speculation. Currently, the existence of CommodoreHUSTLE within CommodoreHUSTLE is in a state of irrelevant quantum superposition. It both exists and doesn't exist in a video-within-a-video or infinitely recursive form until mention is made of it within cH or by word of the LRRd.

Since really, some things are best not to think about.

I refer you to my previous post.
Incidentally, the MX Revolution is Morgan's. You can see it's on his desk, because of the Mac keyboard and Freud's legs.

EDIT: Come to think of it, between the computer, the mouse, and the chair, Morgan has an incredibly sexy setup. I approve.
Re: the continuity discussion: The official line on this was Graham's, in which he explained that they take whatever parts from the existing "continuity" they want to include and ignore others. His exact metaphor was cH as the "Marvel Ultimate Universe" of LRR. I don't know if absolutely everyone gets that reference, but it suffices to say that the logical conclusion of this train of thought would be that cH is entirely self-contained, though drawing extensively on a few key, established facts and recurring understood character quirks. We know, for example, that Paul remains a slightly unhinged supergeek, but time will tell whether Graham is a freaky porn fiend as previous video tradition implied.

Not to mention that Morgan is dead to the world when playing Dota...

HE HAS AN APPLE. THE IPHONE IS MADE BY APPLE. HE DROPS IT IN WATER. BECAUSE JAMES PUT HIS IPHONE THROUGH THE WASH. WHEN MY IPHONE BREAKS, HE TAUNTS ME WITH THE APPLE. PRESUMABLY BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO DROP IT.

sorry, didn't mean to shout, but this was getting a little ridiculous.

Thank... you? :|

Edit: About the 10th Xbox... I think when Matt marked off the 10th one, it was meant to show that this would be the 10th time to call MS support again...

Used to use this mouse for gaming, I thought it was the best mouse ever till I discovered it can't do a polling rate over 800Hz. I mean come on... A mouse that is 2x the price of a gaming mouse and yet it can't even come close to the speed (most gaming mice do 2000Hz).

So I replaced it with a G5 and I am using the MX Relovution at work. Couldn't be any happier.

Edit: Opps forgot to comment on video

These types of videos are getting better and better.I now understand why Graham did a poll on the fourms to see what types of videos do us viewers want to see more. Clearly you guys keep delivering awesome results.

Oh and I got the Apple joke instantly, and I don't even own an Apple product anymore. +1 for me.

I got the apple joke, but didn't find it that funny. Then Graham did it to Matt, and I fell out of my chair laughing. I don't think the joke, as is, stands up well on its own. The delayed link to the very end of the video makes it great, especially with Grahams delivery at the end.

Again, sorry. It was just that I didn't think the joke was that unclear, plus, and that, coupled with the number of people who didn't get it, and the fact that it had already been explained earlier in the thread... yeah.

sorry.

That's quite possibly the most definitive answer I've heard so far and I feel I can't really ask anything further on that note. Thank you.

I guess further speculation at this point is whether or not Morgan continues to be "the worst homosexual ever", or if that too is excluded, since, you know, that's obviously the only place the conversation can go from here :P

I think you mean "it's the tenth xbox, since 9 were destroyed and he plans to get the tenth one after the laundry incident", but I understand what you're saying.

Hmm... cH1 started with Laundry so I guess thats why it was called Laundry. So... why is this one called Red? Cause of Graham's pants? :lol:

I think James says "Ring" at 10:52. Is this founded?

Also, I'm guessing Graham makes the music
