I’m installing some of these into my house when I get home! I may pass on the crusher though… that is probably not child safe!

    This just proves that they don't need to "sell their product", to sell their product.

  2. therandombear on March 22nd, 2011 7:08 pm

    Crushers ey? Not a panel ey?

    I'll take 5 of those crushers.

    If the humour in Portal 2 is only half of what it is in these commercials, then it will still be a sure hit.

  3. Lordshadow on March 22nd, 2011 7:27 pm

    That is not a panel. That is humor. We sell that too.

  4. Nuckel on March 22nd, 2011 7:38 pm

    I'll take two.

  5. invadingduck on March 22nd, 2011 7:41 pm

    Now for our open panel discussion in the comments section.

    Fire away.

  6. Grammar Berzerker on March 22nd, 2011 7:45 pm

    I'll take ten.

    Along with one of those crushers too.

    And a couple of those robot subjects as well.

    Also, could you ship me a bottle of Coke?

    And make sure it's diet Coke!

    KHORNE HELP YOU IF IT'S NOT DIET COKE!

    …I forgot where I was going with this.

  7. smashpro1 on March 22nd, 2011 7:47 pm

    I'll buy anything that that man is selling.

  8. WizardRex on March 22nd, 2011 7:50 pm

    Cave Johnson puts Billy Mays to shame.

  9. nighten2_0 on March 22nd, 2011 7:53 pm

    blah blah blah And thats why I don't like Canadians… exept for ANY COOL ones.

  10. Paulrus-Keaton? on March 22nd, 2011 8:04 pm

    With the power of Photoshop and boredom, I present to you what I was thinking when the crusher came down in that video.

    <img src="http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8424/foot2p.jpg&quot; alt="some_text">

    That's not a panel. That's a foot. We sell those too.

  11. Pedobear on March 22nd, 2011 8:52 pm

    <nighten2_0 has alerted the Canadian horde.>

  12. AuraMaster on March 22nd, 2011 8:58 pm

    And now this robot is no more. It has ceased to be.

  13. Master Eraqus on March 22nd, 2011 9:16 pm

    Your money is no good here!

    But, let me know when you have munny.

  14. Master Eraqus on March 22nd, 2011 9:17 pm

    I'm sick of people walking all over me.

  15. Paulrus-Keaton? on March 22nd, 2011 9:18 pm

    He has joined the choir invisible.
    He has bit the twig.
    He has kicked the bucket. Then he was scrapped and made into a bucket.

  16. Paulrus-Keaton? on March 22nd, 2011 9:20 pm
  17. Mentlegen on March 22nd, 2011 9:26 pm

    Wow, panels, crushers, handheld portal devices, adorable cubes, even robotic test subjects, you sell everything I need!

    …what about "Episode 3", do you sell them t-*crushed*

    Cave Johnson: That was a Troll, we sell them too.

  18. Master Eraqus on March 22nd, 2011 9:26 pm

    Eh… I'm not a fan of Coke (I'm clean, man). Why don't you get me a Pepsi?

  19. Nick Soapdish on March 22nd, 2011 9:45 pm

    Chell, who is Chell? I'm sorry no one cares about you because you have been replaced by adorable robots.
    Portal 2 is an analogy for the future robot takeover of humankind.

  20. Rocker23220 on March 22nd, 2011 9:54 pm

    What about newspapers?

  21. Rocker23220 on March 22nd, 2011 9:55 pm

    Psh, it's all about the Dr. Pepper, maaaaaaaaan.

    DON'T WORRY. I BE A DOCTOR!

  22. Deep Thought on March 22nd, 2011 10:14 pm

    Count me in on that as well…

  23. Dycro on March 22nd, 2011 10:20 pm

    Caught between a 3-ton spiked high-mobility platform and a flat, stationary floorspace.

  24. Master Eraqus on March 22nd, 2011 10:24 pm

    What? But I'm not on drugs, come on all I want is a Pepsi.

  25. CakeBard on March 22nd, 2011 10:43 pm

    I'll take 50!

  26. CakeBard on March 22nd, 2011 10:44 pm

    there's trouble aFOOT.

  27. CakeBard on March 22nd, 2011 10:45 pm

    Cave Johnson must be a genetically modified copy of Billy Mays… it's the only explanation for his hypnotic voice.

  28. Dash12345678 on March 22nd, 2011 11:28 pm

    Ey, we cool Canadians take offense to thet there kinda talk, badmouthing our less fortooonate brethren.

    Speaking in American cartoon Canadian speak is proving more difficult than anticipated. :|
    Perhaps I should rather just insert 'ey' as every other word instead? American sit-com Canadian speak, I suppose.

    Back on the topic of the video, how about this revelation of J. Cave Jonah Johnson in Portal 2? I find it quite awesome and hilarious. I hope for an awkward Spider-Man reference somewhere within the game. Perhaps just a hidden radio playing the theme instead of the normal Portal radio music.

  29. k3man on March 23rd, 2011 12:27 am

    I'm sorry what? Too busy pre-ordering Portal 2 and some of those crushers for the neighbors and their dogs.

  30. Doc_ock_rokc on March 23rd, 2011 12:31 am

    DONT STAND THERE GOBBING! HAVENT YOU SEEN THE FOOT OF GOD BEFORE!

  31. UndeadLex on March 23rd, 2011 12:37 am

    The only thing I can think of coming in at the end of this to make it better, is rel="nofollow">this

  32. Master Eraqus on March 23rd, 2011 12:46 am

    It's about as fun as it sounds.

  33. AuraMaster on March 23rd, 2011 12:47 am

    I know Paulrus is awesome, and far be it for me to ignore such a fact, but how does he get a +1 when he said lines from the same skit I quoted, yet I get hit with a -1?

  34. Master Eraqus on March 23rd, 2011 12:50 am
  35. GameboyPATH on March 23rd, 2011 12:54 am

    I noticed this, too, and fixed it.

  36. Master Eraqus on March 23rd, 2011 12:54 am

    You hear that nighten? He took offense to that.

  37. GameboyPATH on March 23rd, 2011 12:59 am

    *stands* I vote to pass this motion.

  38. Zyquux on March 23rd, 2011 2:23 am

    That needs to be one of GLaDOS's lines.

  39. Jones-250 on March 23rd, 2011 3:24 am

    It seems that these robots investment plan was…
    *sunglasses*
    …crushed.
    YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!

  40. Jones-250 on March 23rd, 2011 3:25 am

    The government sold all it´s (discussion) panels and replaced them with (suggestion) crushers.

  41. Ichiinu on March 23rd, 2011 3:47 am

    I love how all the commercials are focusing on the co-op mode, when single player is 4x longer than the original to co-op's 2 XD

  42. Gamage on March 23rd, 2011 4:37 am

    Probably the same way shawn gets +20 for saying "LOL".

  43. therandombear on March 23rd, 2011 5:48 am

    Canadians?
    My good sir I am not part of this Canadian tribe you speaketh of, it's perfectly fine to freeze ones buttocks off in other parts of the world, namely the more Norwegian part of the world.

    Now lets put this squabbling aside and focus on the matter at hand, science!

  44. Alpar on March 23rd, 2011 5:54 am

    On the topic of crushers, they should have panel crushers, in response to the card crusher meme.

    Anyone? Hello?

  45. C__F on March 23rd, 2011 6:57 am

    Only the best architects buy from Aperture Science.

  46. seanhl on March 23rd, 2011 8:36 am

    well coming from someone else named Sean (albeit with a different spelling) that name is the best name ever so all people must give anyone with the name Sean, Shawn, Shaun, or any other spelling IMMEDIATE +1's. (please have mercy on my 67p)

  47. seanhl on March 23rd, 2011 8:39 am

    Quick, call Gabe. If the ground starts shaking violently, he has either ran to the phone, or has fallen over from laughing too hard

  48. seanhl on March 23rd, 2011 8:42 am

    Yeah my money is on the modified part, compare his normal tone to how Billy would have said "THAT'S A CRUSHER, WE SELL THOSE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  49. SonicsmyName on March 23rd, 2011 9:18 am

    He is an un-person!

  50. SonicsmyName on March 23rd, 2011 9:20 am

    Are you a wizard norwegian?

  51. SonicsmyName on March 23rd, 2011 9:22 am

    You're suspiciously excited over getting this… Pepsi… You sure you're not addicted to anything?

  52. GazzyW007 on March 23rd, 2011 12:05 pm

    What's all this aBOOT?

  53. Zyquux on March 23rd, 2011 12:49 pm

    SHOE, SHOE; there's nothing to see here.

  54. HughbertEsq on March 23rd, 2011 2:08 pm

    "That was a Gaben, we sell them too"

  55. therandombear on March 23rd, 2011 3:35 pm

    Indeed, good sir. Indeed.

  56. SonicsmyName on March 23rd, 2011 5:09 pm

    HAHA! Let's say random stuff in Norwegian so the others don't understand shit!

    Det er tross alt kjempemoro :D

  57. therandombear on March 23rd, 2011 7:41 pm

    Hehe, det var uventet, men hvis folk er nysgjerrig kan de jo bare bruke google translate :3

  58. Snake_Man on March 23rd, 2011 8:07 pm

    Mine herrer, er vi ikke bare i stand til å forstå hva du sier med denne wonderous oversetter -- vi kan også utnytte det til å holde en samtale i en tunge som er helt fremmed for oss. Hvordan er været der borte?

  59. Master Eraqus on March 23rd, 2011 8:09 pm

    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi and Grammar Berzerker wouldn't give it to me! Just one Pepsi!

    rel="nofollow">They give you a white shirt with long sleeves!
    Tied around your back, you're treated like thieves!
    Drug you up because they're lazy!
    It's too much work to help a crazy!

    Eh… this joke took too long.

    Anyway, we got hit by a -1 troll.

  60. therandombear on March 23rd, 2011 8:12 pm

    Litt surt men, sol de siste dagene så en del av snøen har smeltet bort, er fortsatt en del her da =/

  61. fmarulz on March 23rd, 2011 11:49 pm

    It is just me or the one doing the voice is Ted Williams?

  62. Xenon_ktor on March 24th, 2011 1:08 am

    nah it sounds like J. K. Simmons, the guy who played J. Jonah Jamison in the Spiderman movies…

  63. SonicsmyName on March 24th, 2011 6:50 am

    Du, min gode mann, er en vinner. En vinner er deg, du har, som de sier, vunnet. Gratulerer.

  64. SonicsmyName on March 24th, 2011 6:51 am

    Hvilken del av landet bor du i?

    Jeg bor litt sør for Oslo, i Oppegård.

  65. therandombear on March 24th, 2011 9:45 am

    Litt nord for Oslo, Jessheim.

  66. Snake_Man on March 24th, 2011 3:20 pm

    Hvorfor takk, snill sir. Det beste med dette fantastiske verktøyet er at jeg sakte (men sikkert) lære å snakke og forstå et språk som jeg er spesielt interessert i.

  67. Snake_Man on March 24th, 2011 3:23 pm

    Jeg bor i Amerika. Massachusetts, å være mer presis. Veldig langt borte fra din respektive bosteder.

  68. SonicsmyName on March 24th, 2011 5:38 pm

    Det gjør du ja. Moro å lære nye språk, ikke sant? :D

  69. SonicsmyName on March 24th, 2011 5:40 pm

    Det er jo ikke langt unna :O

    Rundt 35-45 minutter å kjøre :D

  70. therandombear on March 24th, 2011 7:10 pm

    ja, ca 40min med bil til Oslo.

  71. therandombear on March 24th, 2011 7:11 pm

    Er ett stykke dit ja.

  72. therandombear on March 24th, 2011 7:12 pm

    Blir jo litt rar ordbruk med google translate, feil form og sånt, men man forstår det jo ;)

  73. Dash12345678 on March 24th, 2011 8:20 pm

    On the contrary, the voice of Cave Johnson is that of J.K. Simmons.

  74. Dash12345678 on March 24th, 2011 8:21 pm

    Indeed.

  75. Dash12345678 on March 24th, 2011 8:35 pm

    Chell is meant to be rarely seen, generally only through nearby Portals. The Co-op robots on the other hand, are almost required to be able to see each other by the way the mode was designed, and thus the robots required intuitive, intelligent, friendly, commercial-potential designs. What I mean is, essentially, they sell better. Not to mention, Valve wouldn't want their trailers to give away too much of the main story.
    ……..As defined by Valve in their top secret dev dictionary for devs eyes only.

  76. fmarulz on March 28th, 2011 9:31 pm

    oh yes you are right : P
    Their voices are simmilar XD

  77. sasuketoo on April 6th, 2011 7:11 am

    It's not possible that he was made into a bucket. He is made with more than three iron bars!
