College Humour likes to focus much of its comedy on the world of tech,
and a rather entertaining new clip draws comparisons between girlfriends and
iPhones. Like the video showing how a typical guy would use Google Glass, it
brings modern technology into the crosshairs of common relationship issues, and
the video, which is very funny indeed, can be seen after the break!
The clip plays
out in a typical prose detailing the story of a man that falls in love. With a
girl by his side in the queue for the next iPhone, you may think the narrator
was referring to the female he appears to plant an affectionate kiss on as his
new-found love. However, you would be wrong.
Our friend ‘Jim’ the iPhone fan is
actually falling in love with his new device, which looks to be an iPhone 4/4S,
and for the initial time he and his new partner spend together, everything
seems fine. Spending every waking moment with “her” (“her” being the
personified iPhone) the narrator details how he learns “new and exciting
things” about her every day, to the point where he begins ignoring his
friends. Does this sound familiar? Oh, but it gets better..
When he does
manage time to see his buddies, it’s always to talk about how “slim and
attractive” she is, and I think the vast majority of us, men and women
alike, can empathize with this situation.
Before long,
things turn sour, and the arguments become a frequent occurrence. Jim is seen
fighting in the street with her, and before long, he’s had enough and decides
to leave.
Fittingly, the video concludes with
Jim returning to the Apple Retail Store, where finds love again in the iPhone
5, completing something of a full circle. Upon finding his new partner, the
narrator notes of Jim feeling “starry eyed” and excited, concluding with
a line of “surely things will be different this time?”
Cynics, of
course, will definitely disagree with the above statement, since we all know
that things scarcely change a great deal the next time around; just take the Galaxy
S 4 and iPhone 5 as examples.
Oh, you thought I was talking about
relationships? Whatever gave you that impression?
