You may recognize Hodgman from his Daily Show appearances, of perhaps more so from his “…and I’m a PC” line from Apple’s popular advertising campaign. Yes, this clip is 15 minutes long, but worth every moment, so go grab a fresh cup, sit back, and enjoy Hodgman’s vetting of President Barack Obama’s nerd credentials.
Now, if Obama had only closed the session with the correct Vulcan response, “Peace and Long Life” he would have scored 110 in my book. However, he also loses points for playing the ‘basketballs’, so we’ll average him out at about an 85% nerd rating. Fair enough? I think so too.
A big thanks to Brent for sending over this gem.
This is very amusing. Hodgman is very articulate, pointed and witty. I love his jocks and nerds comparison and contrast especially when he talked about strict constructionists on the Supreme Court. Apple, try something new: have John ad Juston Long trade places on future commercials and see how the audience reacts.
