Will It Blend? Novell Brainshare Edition

reverendted.wordpress.com — Great "Will it Blend" video featuring the real will-it-blend guy, brought to us by Novell. I am at Novell's Brainshare conference right now, and this morning they showed this video during the keynote. It was terrific! Reverend Ted has the video, with some links for downloading it, and a bonus hi-res image of the blended product. Fun!

    Dugg just for that.
  • tpink, on 10/12/2007, -1/+60IT smoke, don't breathe this!
  • EvilGnomeAndy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+52The sight of Tom Dickson warms my heart. Does he look a little pudgier than usual?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38LMAO ... i was cracking up when Tom said this joke. Funniest line i ever heard him say.
  • bestadvocate, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33The sight of that Microsoft loving Novell products being blended warms my heart. Anyone else placing bets on them becoming the next SCO?
  • Sharkee, on 10/12/2007, -7/+36I'm glad to see they have a sense of humor. I'm also glad to see them shred a Vista CD
  • MrBabyMan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Amazing that the "Will it Blend?" meme has become so popular that other companies are co-opting Tom for their own marketing! In any case, it's still great publicity for Blendtec.
  • fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -8/+33Yes, evil blends!
  • bfaulk04, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25My boss is there right now. No doubt, when he gets back, we will all get this forwarded to us. Pretty funny though.
  • Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22That damn SuSE lizard made the whole mixture nasty as hell.
  • DigitalJester, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23So, the MS disks _will_ blend.
  • thaeger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19""If you feel you want to put your end users in a blender, please get help......."

    That was our original line in the script. Someone from Blendtec caught the double-entendre. We adapted the script. So, glad to hear the joke worked.
  • Llanowar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17ROFL @ "They're heavy"
  • solemnraven, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13....and every IT dept turns out exactly like that, a pile of steamy green crap..


    it was those damn end users...they ruin EVERYTHING!
  • cwshea, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18"Don't try this with actual end users... (they're heavy)"
  • lupodwdm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14HAHAHAHA!! That's one of the best "Will it Blend?"s

    "If you feel you want to put your end users in a blender, please get help............

    They're heavy."

    Great joke! I kinda felt that way today.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+21never mind, digg me down.
  • schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12> Anyone else placing bets on them becoming the next SCO?

    While the malice isn't there, there /already/ have the same effect. They sold out and let the Trojan horse do damage from the inside (OOXML, Samba, IP threats, etc).
  • systemghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8That's great. Gotta love how marketing is changing so drastically.
  • johnwyles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I can almost hear the geeky concert of laughter now
  • Metaridley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I want to see Blentec make a giant-sized blender, then see Tom throw in a Wii, 360, and a PS3.
    Thus ending all fanboy fights once and for all.
  • nhdw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Best W.I.B. by far :) Would digg twice if possible.
  • alexandreracine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6>"Don't try this with actual end users... (they're heavy)"

    @cwshea

    Actually, what he said was ever funnier!

    "If you find yourself fantasizing about trowing end users in the blender, please get help. They're heavy."
  • friend18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It looks like he has a tan, he probably got a raise from all the increased sales.
  • aximbigfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4omg!!!! they blended the suse linux lizard! you bastards!!!!!!
  • Sicarul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8NeR2LyILWQ
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Anyone have a working link? Reverend Ted seems to be ***** the bed.
  • nicepants, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"If you're thinking about putting your end users into a blender, get help.......they're heavy."
  • insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Actually Vista is available on CD.

    Though if you have to use CD's to install it, you probably shouldn't be.
  • digitalarcanum, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6dugg because Novell Netware is a bitch and a half to set up. I realize this edition of will it blend? has nothing to do with Netware, but it's Novell. I can't help but hate them for giving birth to that.. it's not even an atrocity it's a .... thing.
  • azurechaos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"Looks like he's been using the blender to make himself some strawberry smoothies."

    If that's a reference to his weight- don't you mean milkshakes? Smoothies are healthy.
  • mpphan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Looks like he's been using the blender to make himself some strawberry smoothies.
  • marthabrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg that. Host is down.
  • insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Actually the "in soviet russia joke" died on digg quite some time ago.
  • trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1You mean of course old time slashdotters, you digg newbies have no sense of your internet meme heritage ( maybe some will even remember that Yakov Smirnoff is the one who started it all )
  • jqshen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Maybe one day he should try putting a blender in his blender and see if it blends.
  • starsky51, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1smoothies are full of sugar. drink enough of them and you will become a 192lb fatling.
  • Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2That's what multiple digg accounts are for! :D
  • insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Sorry digg broke on me, this comment was intended for another thread. Bury.
  • johnwyles, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Direct link to video (although the description and subsequent picture add to this): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVqtruQSHEM
  • protogenxl, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1But Will It BASH?
  • WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2In Soviet Union, SUSE Linux Enterprise blends you!

    (Sorry, it had to be said -- for the old-time diggers.You newbies have no idea!)
  • 8270369, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Not to pick nits, but the quote is actually: "If you find yourself fantasizing about throwing actual users into the blender, please get help... They're heavy."
  • contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4There's an OSX joke in here somewhere, but frankly, i'm still queezy from seeing what came out of that blender.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Is that the correct pronunciation for SuSe?
  • slipdisc2, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1but will it blend?
  • VhaidraU, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2"Will it blend?" jumps the shark.
  • aforsberg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0hehe... such fat end-users.
    This is t3h best 1 of these ever!!!1!111!one!
  • BryanUT, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0I am so glad those bastids laid me off!

    But since I am still holding on to a few shares, I am happy to see the stock price going up.

    BTW, if you are at Brainshare and attend anything ZEN related, tell Ron and Ingo (from the Netherands and Zurich respectively) I said, "Hi!". They are 2 of the best guys at Novell, I think I still owe Ingo and Ron a dinner.
  • twtmc, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2am I the only one that realized that there are no vista cds?
