The “unboxing” video is a modern phenomenon in which a breathless geek films each stage of unpacking a new gadget with incredible excitement. Such a format is, of course, ripe for parody and creativity. Accordingly, you can find a ton of videos that both mock and exalt the process to great comedic effect. We’ve picked five that we think are creative, cool, or just downright hilarious. So enjoy a giggle as you peruse the gallery below, and let us know any we’ve missed in the comments below. 1. Samsung Omnia i900 Although this isn’t the expected outcome, a mini-parade is what we’d like to see when we fork over cash for a new gadget. Even still, the recipient in this video from Samsung is decidedly impatient. 2. Google Nexus One Brilliant work in this Patrick Boivin-made ad, but we have to warn you: After watching this, all subsequent unboxings you watch will seem, well, somewhat lacking in ninjas. 3. Macbook Pro Poking a little fun at the Mac fanfolk, this humorous clip depicts someone who really loves his Apple gadgetry. Not “really” Safe for Work. 4. Samsung ST5500 This camera unboxing randomly takes place on a ping pong table. The gadget and its accessories are all used as makeshift paddles. 5. Motorola Droid X As Revision3 says, “Turn down the lights, lock the doors and set Firefox to private browsing!” This takes the unboxing process even further into risqué territory with some cheesy background music, innuendos and a guy who sounds a little like Barry White. It’s SFW, maybe – if you hit the mute button. BONUS: Apple Unboxing Gone Terribly Wrong This isn’t technically a parody, but instead a funny take on just how darn hard it is to get into modern packaging. This is well worth two minutes of your time.
