Favourite moment: Graham's last lines.

Sadly I think each and every one of these segments has probably happened in real life in one form or another.

[Keab42]

Stinger was great. When Paul mentioned it I was wondering if you'd show it and you did. Brilliant.

I see you've finally admitted defeat when it comes to naming characters.

[RytelCSF]

Is that the Hypercube from the Redundancy video? The one that hadn't been invented yet?

It didn't take as long to invent as I would've imagined.

[Chuckles]

For some reason I thought the Cube was something shown at The Belvedere.

It turns out I was thinking of "............" Why, when I can't remember a sketch properly, do I default to remembering James into it?

And now I will go cry kitten tears in the field of my heart.

[LogicSword]

I want that cube. Even if it sickens James.

[GreigKM]

Nice attack on the 4 color TV. All these things probably already exist.
Also, way to touch the iPad, Paul, I could totally tell what it was, geesh...

[Evil Jim]

Sadly I think each and every one of these segments has probably happened in real life in one form or another.

Agreed.

The funniest moment for me tho' was the stinger. Jame's performance was fantastic & cracks me up every time.

I actually have one of those cubes. They're pretty amazing.

[RLYoshi]

"Is it an iPhone?"
"No."
"Then nobody will care."

Suppose it was better than an iPhone? Suppose it was...an oPhone!

[LogicSword]

Just watched it again and noticed Kathleen's pout. 'Tis hilarious.

[Trymantha]

Andriod for life Yo!

but in all seriousness does that cube do anything other than change colours?
does James even know what it does?
was james tricked into buying the same way kathleen was in last years cex?

[Vigafre]

The cube is Paul's alarm clock.

[Asnone]

What a great idea, I have a bunch of miscellanies crap and no one knows what it does, I'm going to see how much I can sell it for.

[elvor]

I said it on twitter earlier.

The names were hilarious, and started off subtle enough to not notice. The best part of the sketch.

Until James turned up and stole the whole thing.

[Vigafre]

Who made the posters/logos? I didn't see it in the credits.

[Graham]

That was me. Forgot to credit myself

I live in Vegas & was at parts of CES this past weekend...

It felt *exactly* like this! I think I even saw a few people like James & Paul's characters. -- Like the guy selling iThing covers who couldn't tell me where they could be purchased. He did have a shiny, glossy color brochure, though!

[DmitriW]

I can't help but imagine that James is playing Steve here.

[Beta Test]

Can I just state that this episode showed pretty much everyone who is currently part of the super duper shuper cooper main crew.
Graham
Paul
Kathleen
Jer
Matt
James
and the lastest addition to move up so high in the ranks Alex.

[Sieg Reyu]

HIKIBA!!

[Mighty Magnus]

If that's in anyway a demonstration of a tech show, then I think I'll just stay at home, sit on my lazy ass and let the internet tell me all the details. It's at least cheaper and I don't have to wear pants.

Hate to break it to you guys, but someone got to the CEX before you. In England. And yes, it does sound awkward when you tell someone you got a DVD at Cex

Loved the vid, though, I get the impression thats how certain members of both the electronics world and the press work. And I would totally buy the cube, I'm that much a gadget freak.

I used to love telling people that I worked at the CEX shop. They really didn't know how to react.

I loved the absolute absurdity of this video. That names, the names. Of course, Paul as the "It's not an iPad, it's better than the iPad... ish" guy was amazing. The stinger was genius, pairing James with Kathleen, the look on Kathleen's face, the stern voice of James. Classic.

[Bryy M. Miller]

This kind of tomfoolery only makes me want to go to CES more.

(also: i got freaked out every time you guys said Brian)

[AlexanderDitto]

I loved this video. The double names made me chuckle at first, but as they kept coming and getting more ridiculous I started laughing. John J Johnsonson! Brian O Brianbriansonbrian. XD

Jer's enthusiastic presentation of the television was wonderful, and his confident "Not even slightly, no, no." SO GOOD.

Matt's little "...4!" at the end of all those numbers. SO GOOD.

Alex for most believable as a non-fake presenter. He was really sincere.

Paul: "years of... research... in it!" I think he paused accidentally, but worked out to be the perfect touch.

Graham and Kathleen, kudos for not bursting out laughing. I was laughing the whole time.

PS: I'll take 4 CUB3s, please!
