This would look way cooler if there was batteries inside. At least the sense of danger would be more present.
I wonder how he never wears a gas mask but stands like a foot away from the smoke? That'd scare the crap outta me.
I hate this kind of shit. Don't we waste enough in this society without randomly destroying perfectly good electronics?
He always looks so happy and who can blame him?
Damn Uncle Floyd! Buckle up!
I'm just waiting for the "Will it Blend" when the blender explodes. Maybe "Will it Blend: 40 pack of D Batteries".
Didn't they do this back when the Wii came out?
Yes. At this point, you don't even have to watch these to know. But they're still worth watching!
Tom Dickson is the man =)
@Shteve: once the batteries are cut open, anything will blend, maybe even the plastic blender will melt and blend with it
I demand to see them make the galaxy explode by blending a blendtech blender.
@Doomstalk: thats the beauty about it Johny!
I ALWAYS found this videos "strangely gratifying" =D
@Doomstalk: May I be the one to request a Virtual Boy? We need a bigger blender, right now!
I don't care what fanboy camp you sleep in, that video was damn cool.
I love these videos. :D
Can't wait to see if he'll try the Wii Balance Board somewhere down the line.
I know it won't fit, but like the Guitar Hero guitar, just pull a "Pete Townshend" on it :D.
Could he fit a whole Wii in there?
@AntiZERØ: @GordieHoweHatTrick:
there is always the option of using a chainsaw to make them fit, or we could use an ax-OH GOD WHAT I HAVE BECOME?!
@Doomstalk: "Don't we waste enough in this society without randomly destroying perfectly good electronics?"
Whoa, now. Let's not call the Wii or anything related to it "perfectly good".
If Nintendo hears too much of that, they won't ever give us a Wii with a hard drive, HD output, and controllers with rechargeable batteries built in.
@sariah: They make explosion-proof blenders. :D

They are a tad on the pricey side though.
i could have sworn they already did this before with the wii remote
"Another TV", you know after the first one either I would of bought a more durable TV such as a CRT, which I doubt either were because the way that old guy looked I doubt he can swing it fast enough.
@hikergirl:
Well, now I guess I know what to do with my life savings. ^^
That, or buy a PS3 (boo, hiss, bad joke)
This is great. Two seniors who are in tune with the humors of X generation.
I love the fact that the whole fiasco was to get a revenge for a strapless wiimote mishaps.
I love how crazy they went with these videos. I still remember when it was just a product demo for the blender.
Now they have a whole set behind him and he spouts off catch phrases.
I do love the internet.
I've got absolutely no use for such a spendy blender, but I can't resist watching these videos.
What'd you say?
I remember the first time they did this large chunks of the Wiimote stayed intact and didn't blend very well. I guess they have a more powerful blender this time around.
The ultimate question should be: Will the Blender blend?
Who's that older guy?
Well that was vaguely racist.
@Witzbold:
Here's your answer:
+ Watch video
"Sayonara"? Gong and a bow? Didn't anyone else feel a little uncomfortable when they watched this?
Wait... If there really is a mother fucking sayonara button on a Blendtec blender... I'm buying one right now.
@bigman88zz: Guitar Hero 3 controller maybe?
Will the Blender blend?
These things have been ruined. It used to be that they just showed what it was and tried to blend it... now that they've got a bit of a budget they try to do a little "skit" whenever they blend something.
Let's first ignore the fact that all wiimote's come with strps pre-installed and you can get more for free. Besides that, it's obvious that neither of the men in that clip remotely know what a wii or wiimotes are. (Note he says we'll put both wiis in there... they aren't wiis you idiot, they are wiimotes!)
Also the sayonara comment isn't clever, isn't vaguely related to nintendo at all (it's a japaneese company, but their US division makes up the majority of their sales) and might be considered just a tad racist. A button based on a popular nintendo game would have been more clever. (Ba-bomb, Blue shell, ect..)
@Witzbold: My thoughts exactly!
Now that the hype is wearing off (I'm kinda tired of watching those)... they could just finish the series in grand style: Blendtech Blender. Will it blend?
Maybe he should try blending a 360 controller and a SIXAXIS next?
Dude if I was going to buy a 500 dollar blender, that would be it solely for this video. Now I want to see them blend an original xbox controller. Those things were massive.
@HowardC: Wow dude. Calm down. I think you're over-analyzing a video about destroying things.
@108: nominating my own comment for comment of the week
:(
The only thing that would have made this better is blending the controllers while in-game & showing the results on-screen.
I wouldn't call the "sayonara" bit or bowing racist. It's the "strapless" bit that I don't get. Don't all the Wiimotes include straps, and is he really jumping on that bandwagon of "the Wiimote broke my TV?" I never use the damn straps, period.
Wiil it blend?
Yes it wiil.
Has there ever been a one where it WOULDN'T blend?
Despite all the negative comments on this particular 'will it blend' I will say this:
The 'Will It Blend' commercials (Yes they are advertisements.) are probably the most original, funny, and creative idea for a ad since the [adult swim] text based 'bumps'. So while you may go out and complain about how they are insulting and pandering to groups of people, you should at least realize its better than than any 'Taco Bell', 'Geico' or even the somewhat enjoyable 'Price Line' commercials, and its infinitely better than 99.999% of the dumbed down, sensation dowsing phlegm that is aired on television (even most of the Super Bowl ads.)
@Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.: Someone had to. Might as well be you.
"Strapless Wii's" :')
I fear for my strapless wii, but I love me some Tom Dickson and his hell blenders.
Don't breathe this!
@Bardock44: I Think they tried blending a crowbar once and it didnt work.
@Bardock44: Yes. Chuck Norris.
I think we all could use a 'Walker, Texas Ranger' button.
+ Watch video
wanton destruction. cool as always.
@Doomstalk: It's a way of releasing frustration.
At least he isn't blending you!
I would be fucking terrified to put my hand on top of that blender while it well blends. Has the though of something shooting out the top and stabbing his hand not crossed his mind? I mean yea hazardous vapors boo friggin hooo, I'm sure he has cancer by now. But Gibbing your hand?~?!!! Then will his hand blend???? That'd be a great finally. I hope when this guy dies in 20 years, someone will blend his ashes as a tribute. That'd be rad.
The final Will It Blend™? needs to be them feeding Tom Dickson into the blender, as I'm sure that is the manner in which he wishes his body to be disposed.
Gotta love these shows =D
EVERYTHING BLENDS!!!!! except chuck Norris.
I used to watch these a lot more, then I kinda just phased out of it.
Now, every so often, I glance by and see one and it makes me smile.
A radio station did this one a good while back. In fact, it was with the same brand of blenders. In that case, the Wii Remote didn't blend and it even jammed the blender (which cost something like 300 dollars, and had no trouble chunking up golf balls), so I assume they are using a better blender in this case.
Oh man just got the "all your base" reference
"What you say!"
