Watch the video to find out what Mr. and Mrs. Nortoncorn need to get for Patrick.
"Sorry about the rhododendrons. Anyhoo..."
If you don't recognize these words instantly, you haven't been watching television for the last several months. (What's wrong with you?) These are words spoken by one Steve in a Dell commercial in which the young Steve is videotaping himself and his friend Jeff giving a sales pitch to Jeff's parents: a sales pitch to convince them to buy Jeff a Dell computer.
The commercial has played so often on the TechTV feeds that fill the screens of every television in the building that we all have grown to know Steve very well. His words echo in our brains while we're eating, sleeping, and even when we're trying to produce the show.
But now, we have our revenge. We've made a "Screen Savers" promo that's also a delicious parody of that commercial. Instead of Steve, we have Martin trying to convince Mr. and Mrs. Nortoncorn to get "The Screen Savers" for Patrick. And who's that guy in the background?
You'll just have to see it to believe it.
