@scarbrtj: But no one would accept the perfect world.

Reil(aos)

@scarbrtj: Actually, the real movie is pretty accurate for that. Lots of people using it (the Matrix) and all but a very small fraction of a percent know what is going on. It generally runs okay and looks pretty, which keeps most people happy, but it is still pretty easy for a hacker (Neo) to bypass security (Agents) and crash it.

rjp

OK, now I want to see The Matrix run on Mac OS.

It'll probably have zero problems, and everyone will be so happy no one wants to leave. And everyone will wear black turtlenecks.

scarbrtj

WTF? "video not found"

doofusgumby

This was fantastic. Clippy was awesome. Kudos College Humor, its like you're a real website now...

cpthook

Quality is amazing for sure... but... really, I didn't laugh once this clip. A smirk at kung-fu trial expired... but... meh.

However yea, I've been amazed with some web clips recently too, and this IS a good example of that. Its hard to tell sometimes, this looks better than some stuff you'd see on tv. Although, I think that says more about crap tv...

@evangelistc01: Or would neo be Steve Jobs fighting Steve Ballmer as Mr. Anderson?

omg

evangelistc01

If the Matrix ran on a Mac, Mr. Anderson would definitely take the form of Steve Jobs.

evangelistc01

haha well done

marksayshigh

wow, this does look amazing.

@discounteggroll: I think the voice they used had that perfect annoying quality, just as I would expect from that d@mn paperclip!

As a recent Ubuntu convert I about fell out of my chair on that last line.

reddingofish

Jobs as the architect?

The first matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect. Completely, vertically integrated, ran only on hardware of my own design. It was quite naturally perfect, flawless, sublime. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of its doom is as apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being, thus I redesigned it based on your own hardware, to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your inferior products. I was again, frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the parameters of perfection. Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate reality distortion technologies, which I then employed to mask the most apparent flaws in the system. If I am the father of the Matrix, HE, would undoubtedly be its mother.

you must be using windows.

net_addict

Have I just been pronouncing Ubuntu wrong this whole time?

thebigcheese

Well done, but the message rings hollow and a bit dated to me.

XP might be "boring" but you don't hear about much of the stuff they're lampooning happening anymore.
A couple of years a go it would have hit harder I think.

Still the video is extremely well done.
I agree that these folks are doing better and better technically with each project they do.

This guy is a lot better than Keanu Reeves.

@evangelistc01: @cpthook: okay I thought it was decent and kind of funny. until the spoon part when he tried to bend that stupid paper clip apart. I hate that dang thing.

@Elliuotatar: New stuff sucks. All we have to parody now is Highschool Musical. Blargh

Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine

@evangelistc01: Did you even watch the movies? It couldn't be run by a Mac. The machines tried to give them a happy, perfect world, but humanity rejected it.

Xerloq

Let's just be thankful it doesn't run on Vista.

millardfan

What is with all the outdated parodies lately? First futurama parodies Lord of the Rings and Mork and Mindy, and now this.

Elliuotatar

Thats how you say Ubuntu?

I thought it was ooo-boon-too...

BUN TU?

Noooooooo...I'm ruined!

Also, I know exactly where that alley is... It's on Canal Street somewhere near Chinatown...

You can see all the counterfeit bag/watch shops in one scene...well a blur of the shops but still...

Go NYC!

Everyone in this spoof was fantastic.

BeautifulAgony

LAME...windows usually never gives me any problems. It seems that people only dwell on the past when it comes to anything made by Microsoft.

mricyfire

@scarbrtj: That's what happened in the first iterations. The final version runs on a *nix build, but the admins have become surly and disgruntled and are deleting users and randomly restructuring paths for their own amusement causing chaos in the matrix.

Coming soon, to a torrent near you...

When are we going to see Mac's a wheel of death videos.

wow, that was actually a great spoof

Great production value, and funny at times. With all the money they spent on this, I would have left it in the pot for a little more comedy stew. Was completely there, but very close.

@Xerloq: a happy perfect world in a virtual reality... while actually being held as slaves to produce energy for the machines continued existence, dually eliminating any chance to overturn the balance of power.
go ahead and eat that virtual steak xerloq. it's delicious, eh?

clumsy_bludgeoning

Nice quality, some funny stuff too.
Lacked some Bonzie Buddy though... :P
What ruins it though are fanboys who won't take this as a joke.

@strider_mt2k:
Well done? Whats up with Morpheus and Trinity wearing their in Matrix outfits in their ship. I guess the producer is blind. But hey, who am I to judge. :(

@clumsy_bludgeoning: Thanks, I just wanted to shut his mouth too.

@BeautifulAgony: So, all those agents are admin scripts doing random things?

Agent Smith is the villain.

Ha! I can't believe I randomly saw this on here. The guy who plays Neo was my Best Man at my wedding this summer.

Actually, it's pretty good, but I've always thought of this the other way around:

The REAL world in the Matrix movie, is natural & unkempt - it's not perfect, in fact it can be dangerous. Here though, is where you have free will (to run hundreds of applications and peripherals - not all of which are color-coordinated).

The Matrix has everyone suspended in "Pods" believing that their shiny white world is safe and perfect. It dictates to you what a perfect world is though, and if you try to exert your own choices within this "perfect reality", Agents (Apple Lawyers) come after you.

tech-tard

@CutePuppyz: Linux's market share is exactly equal to the percentage of humans that can pronounce the names of the distros. It's like some kind of secret handshake.

Smith

Well made, but I didn't find it all that funny. Most of the jokes are outdated (win 98).

As for a Mac running the Matrix..

No thanks, I think everyone would go crazy looking at nothing but white all day.

KLanD

ugh.

@biofreak: Maybe the producer liked those suits so he kept them wearing those suits

I'm sorry but this was not funny at all. I always get a kick out of all the featured CH spoofs, but not this.

Not even a chuckle :(

Um, this was done a long time ago here:

Not at all original, or timely, but well executed.

okeribok

That's quite frankly really nice. The quality of the video is rather amazing, although I didn't laugh as much as I thought I would. Yet, a good clip(py).

nitrolinken

Ya know, if they had said the Matrix runned on Windows ME, the freeze joke had been even more awesomer!!!!!

CarlosLopez

@TOWken: Ha, I thought you were talking about Neo.

OthelloDemonassa

LMFAO! as soon as the movie ended, I got an Adobe flash error pop up.

Mister Cow Pnoy

"I hope you have cookies enabled"

That took me a couple seconds to get, but once I did I just burst out laughing. That was my favorite joke in this.
