Caption Contest: PC fixer destroys Geek Squad Beetle, phones for tech support

Comically enough, we already knew that Geek Squad employees took a few liberties with their company car, but this is a debacle. Can you imagine how enraged the poor sap is who was expecting this fool? They probably took a vacation day just to stay home and overpay for some potentially dodgy PC fixer to remove a virus. For shame.

Chris: "Late at night -- well after their shifts end -- testosterone-crazed Geek Squad and Firedog employees meet in alleyways across the nation for dangerous games of chicken that all too often end in tragedy."
Paul: "Did you unplug it and then plug it back in? Look mom, I'm a little busy right now..."
Joe: "Geez... it's called multi-tasking!"
Darren: "Hey there Brad from Circuit City! About that job ad on Craigslist..."
Don: "But sir, the GPS said I was going the right way."
Sean: "Naw, really, I just scuffed up the paint on the bumper and lost the hubcap, the MRI disk is still secure."
Nilay: "Hello... is it possible to retroactively buy that $29.95 PRP plan?"
Josh F.: "So I think we figured out the problem with your laptop. Looks like someone dropped it."

[Thanks, DS]

I'm glad he's ok, holy shit

[Max @ Sep 18th 2008 6:28PM]

Nilay's caption was "Nilay: "Helllo... is it possible to retroactively buy that $29.995 PRP plan?""

If PRP is Product Replacement Plan, then he said "Helllo... is it possible to retroactively buy that $29.995 product replacement plan plan?"

Head office? It was John Casey's fault, I swear!

[Eric @ Sep 18th 2008 6:25PM]

GeekSquad dude: Boss...the "Bug" is gone!
GEEkBoss: "Great...now return to the office I need the car"

"Mom, I crashed my car...and I don't think my low level A+ certification is going to fix it!!"

[s0uL @ Sep 18th 2008 6:27PM]

Nice headline "PC fixer". I think they fix Macs too.

[oakie @ Sep 18th 2008 6:35PM]

obviously you're not familiar with geek squad... they cant fix shit.

[nVening @ Sep 18th 2008 6:36PM]

PC standards for Personal Computer, a category in which macs sit along side windows, linux, BSD etc based systems.

[ajfarson @ Sep 18th 2008 6:42PM]

Would you seriously let them touch ANY technical device? Insane...

[Andre @ Sep 19th 2008 1:03AM]

I dunno about the US stores, but Canadian BestBuy stores (and Future Shop, of course) don't do much with Macs beyond OS reinstalls; Apple warranty, BB/FS warranty, out of warranty all gets kicked to local Apple Authorized Repair Centers.

[Sisyphus @ Sep 18th 2008 6:27PM]

"Hey, its Chad... my geek squad car was involved in an accident."

"You ordered a service plan, right?"

[riley speears @ Sep 19th 2008 10:40AM]

[john @ Sep 18th 2008 6:36PM]

What do you mean you are going to charge me just to look at it?

[Hellaphunt @ Sep 18th 2008 6:36PM]

"It was like that when I got here."

[sinai @ Sep 18th 2008 6:37PM]

NO KULTAR, WHAT DO YOU MEAN HAVE I TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND ON?

[Fred @ Sep 18th 2008 6:41PM]

Kultar? Is he talking to aliens?

[D.Mowry @ Sep 18th 2008 6:37PM]

I see what the problem is, sir. You've got it in upside down. I can fix that.

[Aegis @ Sep 18th 2008 6:38PM]

"--Sir, try pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL... That solves 90% of the crashes...'

[[e-mail] @ Sep 18th 2008 6:39PM]

Whats the story behind the picture?

And, fyi, the employees aren't evil... I once was an Agent, and most of us (myself included) worked to give the best solution to the customer. That's not to say that we did not try to make money! Simply that we weren't evil ^^

Management on the other hand... ahem.

[Allen Jazeera @ Sep 18th 2008 6:55PM]

I just like that they call themselves "Agents." I think they're taking this Chuck show a little too seriously.

[Someone with a brain @ Sep 18th 2008 7:52PM]

Uh... Chuck came out in 2006, the Geek Squad started calling themselves agents in 1994.

[Andrew @ Sep 18th 2008 6:40PM]

RTFM!

[chefgon_ign @ Sep 18th 2008 6:40PM]

Paul's caption is f-ing gold. I couldn't possibly top that so I won't even try.

[JR @ Sep 18th 2008 6:40PM]

Gaaaame Ovuur maaaan!!!!

[lgespee @ Sep 18th 2008 6:40PM]

"I want to thank you for that anti-bug spray, it even gets the biggest beetles out of the trees."

[craig @ Sep 18th 2008 6:41PM]

Ok, I've gotten it to "Turn over", but it still wont start... Now what?

[thattalldude @ Sep 18th 2008 6:42PM]

Hi, Volkswagen support? I have a small problem with a bug, and I can't seem to find ctrl-alt-del.....

[goods @ Sep 18th 2008 6:49PM]

No, I'm telling you I crashed while doing a backup.
