Have you ever watched an unboxing video?
I have.
It’s torture, really.
Have you ever made an unboxing video?
(If you have, just stop reading, now. Move along. Nothing to see here.)

Friends, don’t let friends make unboxing videos.
Jordan Wiseman says
Hahaha incredible.
Eric Dye says
EPIC, indeed!
herbhalstead says
haha – nice – but seriously, there is a reason unboxing videos get so many views – people are curious about stuff they want…look at the views on these youtube search results… http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=unboxing+video&aq=f
Eric Dye says
HA-HA for sure 😀
Matt Pugh says
Oh, I completely beg to differ. 🙂 http://seaofgeek.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/magic-mouse-unbox/
Eric Dye says
Dude. Loved. It.
Tim Graves says
Ehm… why would we want to prevent unboxing videos? Knowing precisely what comes in the box is insanely helpful for those of us deciding between various competing bits of technology (especially laptops and mice/keyboards), and, when properly done, shows clear detail shots of the device(s) itself. For instance, I just ordered a Lenovo X220 convertible tablet. But I had to watch a number of videos before finally making the decision because the unboxers and reviewers are far more clear on the features and benefits of the device than the manufacturer itself is.
A proper unboxing video is also not just an unboxing, but a complete review after the unboxing, but that’s just my opinion, of course.
Eric Dye says
It’s a joke, Tim. It’s a joke.
(But, seriously.)

Phillip Gibb says
lol, I promise not to do it
Eric Dye says
We’ll be keeping an eye on you, then. LOL!
RJ Grunewald says
But what if you need to unbox a car…http://youtu.be/GtaFAwJwOdQ
Eric Dye says
You get bonus points for this.
+20pts
Normally it’s only 10, so yeah, it was good 😉
Andy Darnell says
I think one of the very first unboxing video I saw was from Human3rror. I think it was this: http://human3rror.com/catalyst-package-in-a-paint-can/
FWIW, I think they’re fun and useful if you do want to see what you’re getting.
Eric Dye says
True, Andy.
James Cooper says
Never done a video but did post photos when I got my MBP 🙂 (but that blog post died long ago)
And you can NEVER have too many twisty ties 🙂
Eric Dye says
LOL! (Especially in Europe.)
