Humorous unboxing video pokes fun at Microsoft and the Surface
It’s never fun to take things too seriously, which is why we like this video of a purported Surface unboxing. Performed with a mock Russian accent, the video takes a jab at the “old” Microsoft (or rather what some people still perceive as being Redmond’s problem: clunky, non-working software and hardware).
We won’t say too much more on this because it speaks for itself. But we definitely got a chuckle out of it.

RayWP7 says:
LOL #metrosexual almost made me spit. LOL
Agent-P says:
That was pretty hilarious. Especially that part with the metrosexual interface. Can we all agree to adopt that as the new name?
jabtano says:
agree
sanshiro says:
Second the motion.
lippidp says:
That joke really never crossed your minds prior to this? It's why I was happy MS stopped using it.
schlubadub says:
+1 it was first thing I thought of when "metro" was announced. Calling something "metro" was already in common usage i.e. "That's so metro" to say that it's metrosexual.
iloveamystery says:
I'll definitely take it on the 6 year contract!
alex6272 says:
Will that be with or without the modem?
sanshiro says:
LMFAO
well made!
rodneyej says:
Actually, I'm kind of offended.. Lol! I know it's just a joke, but the nerve of somebody making fun of such a great product.. No, no.. Screw that! Lol.
ymcpa says:
The russian text on the front in the smaller letters say "stupid americans will buy anything". I couldn't figure out what the words in the larger letter or on the back say. My russian is pretty rusty.
alex6272 says:
This is genius
pizzalovinhulk says:
Now I know it's a fake he said metro UI is modern ha that I wouldn't catch dat one
willied says:
Can anyone translate this to English?
pizzalovinhulk says:
Lol my bad my spell check always messing up my words
WinFan1 says:
Pizza are you Russian?
glenc says:
very funny!
iSeeiSheep says:
Looks like a "well made" Soviet automobile. When the cold war ended the Soviet cars created nightmares for Volkswagens capable of 160 mph. I remember suddenly running up a Russian Traubi going 55 mph and almost crapping my pants trying to avoid them.
This must be the Russian version of the Surface. LMAO @ Moscow!
GoodThings2Life says:
In Mother Russia, Surface tablets YOU!
Murgatroyd7 says:
You're doing it wrong.
swizzlerz says:

kinaton says:
Lol.. Worrying thing is, this is probably near the truth lol

aubreyq says:

V Turk says:
I didn't think it was funny. I herd the metrosexual before
alansari_ammar says:
Can anyone translate the labels on the box and at the end? I have a feeling its funny as F
westwaswon says:
I'm all for a good laugh but I just dont understand this. Maybe I'm a bit dense or something.
ralexand56 says:
No, its just not funny.
Murgatroyd7 says:
Agreed, I don't see why everyone thinks it's so funny. Too much cheese for me, I guess.
cedarlog says:
Very helpful thread
220SeaChaser says:
Hah!
khipara says:
Brilliant.. I'm sold on the Surface..
inteller says:
This is actually a real unboxing of the Russian version. Just don't tell them it is any different over here.
CoZmicShReddeR says:
It's so strange it's funny!
Sarang68 says:
Wonder what tablet was used?
ralexand56 says:
I'm not seeing anything funny here. If you're going to make a parody you at least should make it funny.
Murgatroyd7 says:
Exactly. I'm all for parodies, but this was lame. I'm sure it would've been hilarious 15 years ago.
iSeeiSheep says:
I think the Russians are the one's who should be embarrassed. What electronic device have they ever sold world wide?
KGB listening bugs and cold war nukes is about it =)
smallmountain says:
Y'all need to lighten up! That video was worth several good chuckles. Too over the top to take as real criticism of Microsoft. Plus, I don't think they will get away with bundling a machine gun magazine in the US version ;-).
Dragenox says:
Lol #Metrosexual interface ... I want one with the modem ... :D :D :D
Pitchoune.117 says:

rupanidm says:
In the very first frame, there is a photo of two camels and something is written in an Indian language. Its written in Gujarati and the words written mean 'Camel Rape' :D
WP7WasMyIdea says:
Haha!! "You like, you will buy" That shit killed me.. Dead!
ChrisLynch says:
This has to be one of the funniest videos I have seen in a long time. Great find!
SMMinke says:
Yep, sums up rather nicely the Microsoft we've loved to hate in the past. :-D Looks like the perfect reminder of how great the future looks now!
