Other People's Tech | Richard Hammond's Tech Head

[yakpelt]

Richard: darn, I lost my toothbrush.

Me: here! *hands toothbrush*

Damn straight I'm random. Suck it.

[perfacetus]

It's so true. Wait until the computer boots up. Is their desk-top covered in shortcuts? Then they are probably* a complete idiot. Which means they haven't updated their virus checker and have so many things loading on start up it'll take a day to load Word.

*Apparently my friend who is an engineer has 46 neatly arranged shortcuts. He appears to the be exception to the rule.

[lucatw13]

Richard Hammond is a big asshole and that's not me being a hater :L

[dfowler2000]

This video lists precisely all of the reasons why I ended a Computer Science degree a year early, quit my job at the local computer shop and became a bus driver!

[Sheshader]

He is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO right about this! :D I say this as a repair tech guy, having to suffer OPCs every day of his accursed life. It's quite astounding, how quickly and efficiently the general public can turn a freshly installed, adequately protected PC into an sluggish, unresponsive heap of shit within a day or two.

Customer : "But, I haven't downloaded anything, I haven't even been on the internet!"

Me : "So, these malwares, "system fixer"z and driver finders just appeared, as if by magic?"

[MercSLRFan]

I can relate to this.

[kelam710]

OMG! He was using my Mom's computer! I hate her computer!

[MegaTopTens]

Why iis this sooo similar to David Mitchell's soapbox?

[MrTr0llol]

@MegaTopTens jihad!

[perfacetus]

@MegaTopTens

It is made by the same people; Channelflip.

[saradominmaster007]

[ekocan1985]

Huahuahua amcik richard hammond tell my What stig say on morse code tesla show

[TeeGeeFan]

SOOO TRUE. Why aren't other people's computers just as good as your own? I guess it's personal choice

[cLa007]

LOL!

[topgearfan188]

haha, Richard's feet don't reach the floor.

[WolfieMelon]

would everyone please stop fucking hating him because of the "racist" comments he made? he appologized, get over it.

[QFT2]

He's a coward, the pathetic hamster.

[los3e]

If you give it back

[los3e]

You can use my toothbrush !

[doggiepowers]

seriously i fucking hate using someone else's computer. i work in IT and fix computers all day for the office i work in. people then assume it's ok for them to bring their computers to me to fix. i turn it on and immediately blame them when they ask what is wrong. its usually true. so people stop looking at so much porn. thank you :-)

[topgearfan188]

This is so true...

[robbiejw2010]

2 people have bad computers.

[alexadros2311]

what's the difference between pop-ups and anti-virus updates?

of course there isn't

[themymysteryman101]

use my toothbrush - ewwwww! lol

[tanonginosibalasi]

racist neo nazi

[mackat4ck]

So true this...

[MiniMe2762]

I have a solution, that worked for me. Get a Mac.

[EdelSeriman]

@MiniMe2762

Okay, enjoy playing Bejeweled. Because thats the only game you'll be able to run on a mac!

[MiniMe2762]

@EdelSeriman Lol. Actually, tho, I think its quite cool that steam is opening up more for macs now... but yea, your right. But I do have all the Half life 2's, all the civ 4 thingers, L4D2, Gmod, Css, Tf2, portal and other shizz. But yea your right.

[CarCrazyChica]

You can use my computer anytime you want Richard! :D

[gtawesom3]

Lol

[MrNoahthefox95]

Thumbs up for the hampster!

[Millahtime]

Maybe that's because all your friends run windows. I cant help but laugh because computers don't HAVE to be this much of a clusterfuck mess.

[mohamadalikazi]

I think Richard's friend was running Vista.

[CustardStig]

My Aunt keeps asking me to teach her how to use her laptop. Why buy a laptop if you can't bloody well use it?! Honestly...

[gdrewpowers]

Ok... yes, yes, no, yes, no, and ewww that's someone else's toothbrush!

[DataAngelis2020]

LAWL!!! so fricking true i hate having to be my homes "Admin" cos something gone tits up due to them not reading fricking EUA's, Reviews or showing an ounce of common fricking sence not to install something dodgy then i get the "can you fix it for me....!" GAH! lol this is comming from someone who wants to work in IT..i'm starting to think of a new career change might be in order.. : /

[monkeyboy85]

@DataAngelis2020 you actually read the EUA??? yikes.

[DataAngelis2020]

@monkeyboy85

well only the first few line yes but anymore then that hell no! lol! but to be fair if something stands out after the first few lines it's not worth it if it'll screw your PC up :P

[217hman]

lol

[misskateykins]

"I don't want to use your computer! I'd rather use your toothbrush!" Thank goodness he'll only just pass out on how many things I have him on there *Pheeeew!!*

This can certainly cheer up my Mondays :D

[SuperMerryhappy]

Sounds like my laptop 

[LilMissP1992]

Anybody else notice that one of the sighned prizes is a spork?

[shellygrrl]

@LilMissP1992 richard/spork = new OTP. ;)

[GGsYoyo]

@LilMissP1992 Well he does love sporks!

[KrazeeCain]

"I don't want to use your computer, I'd rather use your toothbrush." Best line ever! :D

[DoctorKandosii]

Don't get me started on crappy broadband providers and their total lack of customer service either.

[puretroubleman]

I have a feeling this story was made up just a hunch.

[LoveKaylene]

Nothing wrong with my computer :), but I'm sorry, My toothbrush is mine, mine, mine and mine alone!!! LOL :)

[northernrob99]

Computers, Great when there working Total annoyance when there not.

[vonniebb]

People download far too much stuff and then wonder why it keeps crashing. They also forget to delete cookies and unused stuff and defrag their pc's/laptops regularly. Simplez :)

[xHUNGNASTYx]

Im the tech guy in my family.. i look at all the crap people put on their pc, and think... WHY THE HELL DO YOU NEED THAT!

[vonniebb]

I loved this episode. It is probably the best so far. Just a couple of things:-

1) I had to watch it 3 times over because I found myself admiring Richard's looks rather than listening lol!

2) Yes..... he can use my toothbrush anytime as long as he stays over for a slumber party hehe!

[Thetanomine]

looking at you James May?

[stevenc152]

Real player 2! lol? Thats pre 2000

[BPlayReview]

very true indeed. and we all know he had his teeth whitened since he asked for a toothbrush. hehehe.

[blowenfuse]

I hate other peoples computers, so much! I am the 'tech guy' of our family so I always end up having to fix them.

[skots]

@blowenfuse i know how you feel ...

[TokerSmurf]

@blowenfuse - me too - can i send all my family to you with their troubles?? PLEASEE!!!

[Blackpanfa]

@blowenfuse

[watchgraham]
