  • The day RIM goes down, all our parents would be like : why didnt you get a blackberry!

  • The Playbook 2.0 release is awesome. Do not dismiss this company, the game is far from over.

  • Have you ever tried the new BB7 devices? And with upcoming BB10, it will blow the competition out of the water. Let's just hope that it will sell, take the Playbook for example, an excellent device that nobody would buy because it didn't have a picture of a piece of fruit on the back. Huh.

  • @Ishcoa The Play book was horrible, that's why it was last selling for $199......

  • iPhones rule!!!! Blackberrys suck

  • RiM and Nokia should merge and make a Linux distro that is Android compatible.

    Suddenly; best hardware, best security, the most features.

  • Just got the 9810 kinda bumed i wont get BB 10 when it comes out , just glad its not like apple where they come out with something new every 6 months :)

  • In my eyes, Android is still a lot better.

  • @MaxTheGhost depends on the Phone, i would get one but i really don't like the plastic bodies.

  • I'm watching this on my BlackBerry

  • LOL blackberry people shut the fuck up, those phones are so outdated and there is absolutely nothing special about them. And to the guy saying bbm gets you bitches..I'm pretty sure every person on here is laughing at you, your hand doesn't count. Droid or iOS=win

  • @iDDroid How are they outdated?

  • @iDDroid How are they outdated? Whats so special about iphones or droids? Answer those two questions and ill still think Blackberry is better :)

  • Rick Mercer and Don Cherry are a constant reminder of how awesome Canada is.

  • @pyres736 Way to represent the fan boys! Keep up the good work. Oh, and here is your honourary degree in english literature since you've clearly mastered the english language.

  • It is unfortunate circumstances because it isn't about favouring a device over another, it's about the falling economy of Canada because of it's high dependence on RIM. Either RIM needs to really innovate and compete, or Canada needs to find a new financial dependency.

  • @mttellek lol... the Canadian economy is hardly dependent on RIM.

  • @mikegkeating I don't mean absolutely.. It's a dependent.

  • Iphones are way beter for every thing with the odd thin like a battery last only 400 cycles and the odd time reception cuts out but that's becus of your provider the cebord on iPhones is beter then the small u can play music games take photos put I on vibrate and even send emails every thing a crack Barry can do and more the thing the crack Barry lacks is security and good software I no a few family members who no the inside of the software in side and out and Thay have ther dislikes I can't na

  • @pyres736 please go back to grade two and learn to spell

  • @pyres736 i your spelling is so bad due to the spell correct on the iphone

  • All this squabble over Iphone vs BB makes me laugh.

    Who cares!

    One word : Android!

  • FYI to all, Rick Mercer is apparently a huge blackberry supporter. Sooo he is also trying to get Canadians to buy blackberries so that the Canadian economy is better...

  • @3migo It doesn't matter which phone is better (and the iPhone is clearly better, just as the video says). Baseline, you came in here and proved that you can't even analyze a funny fake commercial properly without some kind of neurotic personal spin or battle. I trust your judgement on the smartphone market less than I trust Steve Ballmer's.

  • Iphone : great consumer phone and entertainment device, BB : when you actually want to get some work done. Computers, phones and tablets aren't just for screwing around and playing on the internet, ya know...

  • @sgi1972 Yea because replying on a BB and replying on an iPhone are totally different. but wait, BB is better. "TIME TO GOTO WORK *type type type* ....YEA THATS RIGHT...BLACKBERRY BITCHES, I JUST SENT AN EMAIL".

  • Blackberrys are just pure shit. ps. I have a htc.

  • shit, yep. 

  • @3migo He is not making fun of iPhone fanboys. This clip is an excerpt from a Canadian commentary/political parody show, hosted by Rick Mercer. What Rick Mercer is doing in this clip, is pointing out the fact that the Canadian Pension Plan (one of Canada's social programs), invests in the Blackberry company. And that therefore, as a Canadian, their dropping sales effects his (and all Canadians') pension plan.

    TL;DR: No, you're wrong.

  • @badboyerk Amazing how few people got the message.

  • click 0:57 repeatedly :P

  • fuck smart phones

  • GOD I love this guy.

  • i got a htc surround for 90 dollars :)

  • Rim

  • Lets be honest, who the fuck is really playing games on their phones .. by themselves? For people that need texting, social media and internet. Blackberrys are perfect and don't make you look like an apple fag. OH and bitches love BBM. ;)

  • LOL it's kinda funny the just last week I went from an iPhone to a BlackBerry and everyone is taking the piss about it. >:I

  • *as = ass

  • Wow. He's not making fun of either phone. He's making fun of Canadians and our shit as economy and how we have a lot invested in the success of RIM yet go out and buy iPhones. That's the whole point of mentioning mutual funds etc..

    Not everything in the world revolves around your little phones.

  • he's making fun of the blackberry not the iphone

  • @Carrera911Fan The maker of this video is a HUGE blackberry fanboy.

  • Its the media. the blackberry is a pretty solid machine 

  • Hilarious

  • Android FTW!

  • I'm tired of android fanboys who fell the need to badmouth iphone.

    Well guess what? All phones suck cause they all have some stupid little problem that another phone doesn't have.

    Yes I prefer my iphone but at least I can admit that it has frame rate issues from time to time.

  • it goes iphone 4 bb bold or torch and then android crap

  • I don`t understand why he keeps switching between talking about the iPhone and Blackberry (eg. at the beginning, the voiceover asks "You love your iPhone don't you?" and then later, Rick says "I love my Blackberry, it can do _____" )

  • The only reason to have a blackberry is if you live in Waterloo. It's practically the only phone around.

  • @GoldennHawk aaand the only reason its the only thing around in waterloo is cause us co-op students are the only ones left making the damn thing =D

  • Android for the WIN!

  • Bold 9900 is AWESOME! Why buy the iSh!t when you could get an awesome phone, with all the power plus a physical keyboard?

  • The new BlackBerry phones can do everything he mentioned the iphone can do in this skit, but still hilarious :)

  • Iphone bitchesss

    

  • But I DO love my Blackberry! 

  • LOL

  • lol

    

  • the girl is soooooo terrible at acting. She ruins this perfect joke.

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahha it's so true!!!!!!

  • I don't understand why people hate BlackBerry so much these days. I've got one and I like it...

  • @CptSchmidt because they haven't done anything amazing in years.

  • @CptSchmidt He is making fun of iPhone fanboys, who don't seem to understand that Blackberry's have the same features as the iPhone, and even more.

  • @3migo No, he's making fun of the Blackberry for the limited features and how RIM is doing absolutely terrible.

  • @jeeholim0824 What stock features does the iPhone have, that the Bold 9900 doesn't have?

  • @3migo I'm no expert in the Blackberry, but I know that it probably has less apps than iOS, thicker than the iPhone 4, and there hasn't been a new revolutionary change from the original design. People want new.

  • @jeeholim0824 Apps are not a stock feature. But yes, the App store is smaller on Blackberry, but that is because most Blackberry users do not want a whole bunch of games and what not. The productivity apps are top notch. The 9900, the newest blackberry is not that much thicker than the iPhone, and frankly I'm glad it's thicker, I would put cases on my iphones to make them thicker. And, the 9900 is the revolutionary new design, and on top of that, the iPhone hasn't had a revolutionary change

  • @3migo I don't know why I'm trying to stick up for the iOS, I'm an android user. I just never liked the design of Blackberry, it looks terrible.

  • @jeeholim0824 It's all personal preference I guess. I just love the layout of Blackberry OS. All the settings you need quickly are right there at the home screen, and the notification system is simple, yet perfect. It works for me. Plus, you just can't beat the email on a Blackberry, or the keyboard.

  • @3migo "the iPhone hasn't had a revolutionary change"

    That's because it was/is the revolutionary change that is shaking up the whole mobile industry.

  • @jeeholim0824 whats was new with the news iphone??? thats its black?

  • @8l1ndman Honestly, iPhones aren't really revolutionary neither. I mean, it's the same thing over and over again, except the number goes up by one every year.

  • @jeeholim0824 you obviously have never owned one, original and 4 side by side and tell me you dont see the difference, it's been a huge leap.

  • @stevieontario Hello apple fanboy.

  • @3migo Actually, he's making fun of the fact that there's nothing special about the BlackBerry, hence why RIM's doing so badly. But when he finds out that the Canadian government and mutual funds are highly invested in RIM he immediately switches to advocating BlackBerry.

  • @3migo lol? hes not making fun of iphone fanboys... hes making fun of blackberry fanboys like you... saying how blackberry is crap compared to the features on other phones, you're blind and deaf

  • @3migo He's not making fun of Iphone fanboys, he's making a statement. The statement is that Research In Motion is a pathetic company, with lame products out in the market. He's basically saying Ihpones are a better product than BlackBeryrys in every way shape and form but since the damn stock price is fucking every canadian in the ass, we feel as if we should not buy Iphones (even though its a better product) and buy BlackBerrys to save our asses!! FUCK RIM AND BALL SILLY, they're a JOKE.

  • @3migo He definitely is not making fun of iPhone fan boys. I think you missed the point of the video. He was supporting iPhones until he realized he owned shares in RIM and then started supporting it so that the shares could go back up.

  • @3migo your either kidding or your blind as fuk

  • @3migo Other than BBM what features does the BB have over the iPhone? (I'm just wondering, I'm not trying to start anything haha).

  • @Pimpmasterwheelshow Best email system, best keyboards, better battery life, better antenna/reception, better speakerphone, far better security. When it comes to apps, obviously the iPhone wins every time, but silly games aren't important to me. Blackberry has apps for productivity, that work very well, which are what I need.

  • @3migo Thanks dude.

  • @3migo And it has a stable, and very reliable internet service that never fails.

  • @3migo I agree man. I still don't get how apple customers are so loyal to releases that are just flashy and repeatedly released with issues. Apple talks about devotion to perfection but remember the deathgrip iPhone4? Apple customers are blind man.

  • @3migo iPhone has apps for productivity as well. Anyways I'm not going to get into an argument with you, just look at the App Store before you make an assumption.

  • @3migo While I do miss BlackBerry's email, BBM and reception, better battery life? My iPhone's battery is a thousand times better than my old BlackBerry Curve.

    Also, Apple's app store isn't just fart buttons and lightsabers anymore. There productivity apps are a lot better than what I had on BlackBerry.

    RIM just doesn't have its shit together anymore.

  • @Pimpmasterwheelshow NOTHING!

  • @3migo every car has wheels and a motor. Which one do you prefer: a 1969 rusty VW Beetle or a Lamborghini Diablo?

  • @HairyPotter2012

    very good example. BLACKBERRY IS TOAST! AND THEY DESERVE IT.

  • @3migo troll detected.

  • @3migo

    No he is making fun of Blackbeery and the fact that when teh whole market is moving forward , in leaps and bounds its going in reverse. No one wants a small crappy keyboard anymore.

    I won't get into why Blackberry is so crappy, but I tried to access teh app world with wifi and I could not !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @3migo 3/10 bro

  • @3migo no, he really isnt.

  • @3migo Not really, he's pointing out how backwards they are. If you think these are all the features that iPhones have, you really need to lift the rock and take a peek at the world :P

  • @3migo I think he's actually making fun of everyone. Unless of course you go android.

  • @3migo watch it again... you missed the point by a mile

  • @CptSchmidt

    You cannot be serious comparing a Blackberry to an iphone.

  • The irony of this video is that Rick Mercer uses a Blackberry and loves it

  • haha classic!

  • Rim is living in 2007 - 2009

  • Is there anyone at Blackberry paying attention to what people want and moving with it? They were the cutting edge - WTF happened? Who was asleep at the switch?

    Thanks for the giggles Rick!

  • @ApollosPlace better than apple.

  • @zeldafreak71 I don't have either but the masses are voting with their dollars and Blackberry isn't getting the market share. That's not personal opinion, that's just facts.

  • This made my day! LOL I recently dumped my Blackberry due to its "plunge."

  • laughed my pants off when you did that with your lips!

  • way to go canada

  • lmao I have a smartphone and I don't want a blackberry... or an iPhone lol

  • I bet the Canada Post Pension plan is heavily invested in this stock! lol ha ha ha. Hey CUPW Members....how does that make you feel ?

  • @TheSilverWatch For someone who claims to hate Harper, you sure talk like his party a lot.

  • nice
