That seems like an excellent reason for a late video- hope y'all had fun.

Worth the wait either way.

Can't believe the chainsaw feature made it through R&D without the built in laser sight... FAIL!

Great video! Alex needs to always be the stinger for ever now. :D

Also I don't mind that it was late. You had a good reason ;) Paintball is fun!

Yeah, real life can be a total bitch like that some times... it's cool though, and I hope all you guys had a great time and no-one got (badly) injured.

Also, I would probably buy both of those toasters, but only because I'm crazy and have a history of questionable spending. Would make a neat display piece though.

I laughed pretty hard at the half and quarter slices of toast being "wasted." Then the sketch got better. Love it.

I think this is one of my favorites from this season.

Really like the commercials with Beej narrating, and over all simple but very funny. Definitely was thinking it was going to be a "Great news! We sold 8 million toasters! But asking the public, they said they would pay $.50 for it..." but the silly (rad) toaster was great. Stinger great too.

Yeah, I certainly expected an ending where the consumers asked for the supertoaster to be free. But it's a Paul script, so naturally it subverts the obvious ending.

This made me want toast. Damn it, 9pm is no time for toast.

Oh, my toast just popped.

Well if the comedy thing doesn't pan out, you definitely have a future in infomercials that was spot on!

10/10 would buy a toaster with an illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator from.

For what it's worth, I'd probably buy that 1.5 slice toaster.

I can’t decide between the ToastMaster 1500, and the Ultra Super EZ ToastMaster 9000 Special Limited Signature Pro Edition Plus Deluxe with Laser Guided Explosive Toast Ejection System.

This was JUST what I needed to see, after getting home from work! :D

Everything I wanted to say has already been said by others, so I'll just echo them.

Thanks for the great vid!
