Better than expected. Good on you, my gastropodic friend!

I didn't watch the whole thing but I have to think if there was a scene with a vagrant-looking fellow talking to himself as he assembled a hodgepodge of odd things in a shopping cart, that would be Linux.

Is this funny?

I think they were just going for a cheap pun on Blackberry, but it can be?

Bwithh: What does the pot / jug mean?

Them creating a pot together was a Ghost reference. The kid asking about kissing was a Princess Bride reference. Hotmail running up to Siri at the end was from another movie I can't place right now.

Shouldn't there be a "FirstBeSmartFromTheVeryBeginning" tag?

My guess: "hey, GMail changed something! I HATE IT!" and then several weeks later "oh hey, this GMail feature seems useful, when did they put that in?" But that'd be a weird thing for Siri to think.

Actually, the whole concept doesn't really make a lot of sense in general, unless I'm missing a whole lot. Siri and G-Male's characters don't really resonate with their associated services and the whole thing just seems like an excuse to throw a bunch of vaguely associated puns and jokes at you. Which, you know, okay, Hotmale was funny. But.

....So I'm the only one who thought the "pot" they were making looked more like....something phallic?

No, I think that was part of the joke.

This is just terrible. And yes, seems to draw a lot of corny puns together- and AOL? it's relevant somehow? They should have given the Microsoft Network a kicking too.

Oh, that was hotmale? I thought they'd gotten that photogenic guy.

I think Cracked did it better, but this was cute. Things have to scale down for mobile devices, anyway.
