Jason, if that’s the funniest thing you’ve seen in a long time, you lead a sheltered life. Personally I found it mildly amusing, in an clueless sort of way.

Howard Rauscher
you misspelled microsoft in the title

That’s microsoft innovation for you! Lots of people are making things smaller. they can make it bigger!

I like this table a whole lot more than the iPhone.

I saw that table (not by MSFT though) at Wired’s NextFest 3 years ago. It was very cool, but not as cool as the “see-through” coat made of millions of mirrors.

I am buying MSFT stock at $30.22. Anyone who’s sold won’t sell now right? Oh wait, Bill’s unloading $200mm a qtr… nevermind

Very funny.. really.. BUT everybody is missing the point… this is NOT for a consumer, the Surface is for commercial use… so….
-
Ian Bell
Love it, too funny!
You have to admit though, that table looks pretty sweet!

Hmm, wasn’t really funny on engadget yesterday, not really funny here today. Sorry guys.

Dan Grossman
Nah, not funny.

BRILLIANT! Sadly, I don’t think Microsoft will get the joke.

Didn’t we learn our lesson about table top interfaces with those Pac Man video game tables back in the day?
-
Sean
Haha, Microsoft has made me so mad with all this XBOX 360 stuff that something like this I now find funny, even though I would have scorned it a year ago.

@DinoHorse: Yes, but I think it’s mostly Microsoft’s silly marketing this is making fun of. For example the first shot looks totally like some mom just Surfacin’ it away at home.

Aki
Didn’t find it funny

How great would it be to make ‘love’ on that table and not really have to look at the girl you’re hooking up with? Just put on a porn in the background and pretend you’re hooking up with someone much hotter.

You misspelled Microsoft in the title.

People can say whatever, THAT TABLE IS TIGHT! I see these showing up in many places like waiting rooms, doctors offices, ect. So instead of magazines being the item that passes time in that situation, I see the microsoft table being a great distribution outlet for content providers. The table is nothing without content!

200 thousand a month in revenue and you can’t spell microsoft in the title line of a post? come on…at any rate, mock as you will but msft is enjoying hefty free publicity thanks to you and your readers!

Hey, but I bet the table will have 3G access

everyone picks on microsoft.

Microsoft will be lucky if they sell one of those things.

That has to be the best thing I’ve seen in a very VERY long time.
“The future is here! And it’s a big ass table.”

Next thing you know, they will invent a mainframe, so that people have larger computers with lots and lots of expansion slots.
If you liked this parody you might like watching Andy Rooney (of 60 minutes fame) reviewing the Zune:

I don’t think it was laugh-out-loud funny, but it did make a valid point. It’s great technology, but it hasn’t been marketed very well by Microsoft.

microsft is a loser///thats all i know

This is hilarious. LOL.

Great work. lol

That was absolutely hilarious, although the Surface is really initially intended for Hotels and Casinos, etc. Very funny!
-
John Wooton
That was freakin’ hilarious. A must share!

Lol but just funny enough

On the other hand, MSFT (or the creative ad agency they’re working with) did a good job on this dating/relationship spoof between advertiser and consumer:

Quite well done.

I really loved it. I think it was published on Techcrunch, but I didn´t pay attention. This table is very promising. Take that Apple!

Klass! The VO sounds like Ron Livingston.

microsoft rocks for coming up with this… its a wicked concept thats executed superbly.

The mere idea that I have to lean over to use the thing makes my back ache.
I can see these things all over Vegas (or any casino) as gambling machines in the next couple of years.
Big funny ass video!
