Newcomb plays the role of presenter, apparently relishing the uncomfortable situation in which he is placing the audience, but he always makes sure that they understand the stunt at the end. When the presenter finally worries about the uselessness of his life and that fact that he will see only his socks at the foot of the bed when he dies, end credits begin to roll on the screen behind him. The audience generally pauses, trying to “reverse engineer everything they’ve seen for 10 or 15 seconds” before they figure out just what it is they have been watching.

“This has now been stamped as fiction,” says Newcomb, adding that the audience is most often “incredibly relieved” that the demo wasn’t real. It’s uncomfortable to watch someone experience such a crisis right in front of you, and in a public setting, especially someone who appears to be a “genuinely tortured” person. The reveal therefore comes as something of a relief; Newcomb describes it as “people stepping off a roller coaster,” and he hopes that they enjoyed the ride.

Personally, I think this is a great idea. Funny as hell, but still great. Next, I want to see Windows 7/Star Trek 2 cross promotion. Maybe with the Borg worked in somehow….

Just for fun, I made a few more (mostly) funny combos from real products available on Amazon:

1. People whose Twitter profile ends in guy, guru, expert, diva, evangelist or visionary
2. People whose Twitter profile begins with Mr, followed by something digital
3. People who send @ messages to stars in the hope of instant Twitter validation through a reply
4. People whose automated ‘thanks for the follow’ messages make you want to vomit
5. People whose automated ‘thanks for the follow’ messages contain a link to their site
6. People who ask questions they could answer quicker on Google
7. People who as soon as a star dies tweet “Just warning you, if anyone makes a joke about this, I’ll unfollow you.” Not if I can unfollow you first, petal.
8. People who think adding the phrase “please RT” makes their spammy message more likely to be passed on .
9. People who think putting fail on the end of another word and sticking a hash on the front is still clever. #originalityfail
10. People who Tweet linkbait Twitter lists like this one. That’d be me…
11. BONUS – People who use press this to jack other people’s awesome linkbait. Me again…
