The element that makes this iPhone smoothie-blender clip so hilarious is that guttural groaning sound that someone overdubbed. I don't often laugh out loud at stuff. I'm more of a heh-heh type, and sometimes I just smile and don't laugh at all (which is what I was doing all though I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.) But I laughed at this longer and louder and from a deeper place in the diaphragm than anything in Superbad, and that's the funniest film I've seen in years. (Thanks to Anne Thompson for the link.)

How many African babies could've been fed for what that iPhone cost? Shameful.

You've gotta be kidding. I didn't even crack a smile. Letterman was doing stuff like this 20 years ago. What am I missing?

You smiled all the way through "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry"?
*shakes head in disappointment*
Seriously Wells, it's a main competitor for "Norbit" for 'Worst Movie of the Year' honors.

I'm a little concerned. Will it Blend? is about as hilarious as Will it Float? This reflects poorly on Superbad; I may have to reconsider going to see it.

Conan O'Brien did the best thing we're going to see on the iPhone about 6 months ago, with its multiple uses getting gradually more insane. The best was definetly "it's a treadmill!" I'm too lazy to find it now, but it's out there.
