 |
|
I saw this on an infomercial and immediately thought, I wonder what the staff at the Dunder Mifflin office would do with this: http://www.buylistenup.com/?cid=290879
It's an amplifier. But they really emphasize eavesdropping in the ad which is pretty funny. I can imagine Dwight using it for some sort of investigation when he mistrusts soemone. Or Kelly stumbling upon it and getting some juicy gossip. Or if Karen and Jim discuss his feelings for Pam again and Pam is just trying it out and she overhears them and this prompts her to confess her feelings to him. It would be an awesome Office gadget!

Thanks I edited it. Who knew one could have so much trouble with simple copy and paste?

Forget about The Office possibilities, I can think of some pretty good ways to put this to good personal use  . |

I remember, like, 15 years ago when they advertised a gadget called "Whisper 2000" which was essentially this exact same thing. The biggest difference was that the Whisper 2000 was in the shape of Walkman, which positively no one uses anymore. The funny part of the commercial was the satisfied customer.
This guy is presumably single, goes to a fancy looking restaurant by himself (with his headphones on, mind you) and overhears two women with huge 80s mall hair whispering to each other something to the effect of, "He's soooo cute."
This always cracked me up - even at 10 years old - because who the hell goes to a nice restaurant by themselves, and furthermore, who's listening to a freaking Walkman while doing so? And I love that the bimbos a couple tables over still found him attractive even though at best he's a social moron, and at worst a creepy pervert who likes to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
In this commercial, I got a kick out of the old guy's grouchy wife though. "Can you turn that TV down?!"

Oh my gosh, they did a segment on this on Best Week Ever that was hilarious. "Listen in on conversations across a room!" Ooookay, creepy much? But seriously, if Michael ever got his hands on one, I can only imagine the hijinks that would occur.
