Tiny ninjas unbox the Nexus One on Google's dime

Wondering where Froyo is? It seems the boys and girls in Mountain View took a quick breather to commission one of the crazier stop-action short films we've seen in a while -- and probably the craziest stop-action unboxing we've ever seen. If you questioned the Nexus One's real ultimate power before watching this, you won't any longer. Follow the break for video!

[Thanks, NordicOten]

@Joshua Przygocki Those swords are nothing in the face of Gorilla Glass!

[Rpie74 Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:00PM]

That is so awesome, if I could only watch it on my iPhone engadget app.
Sigh

[Wesley Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:04PM]

That sticking-out camera took a bad knock when the dropped it on its back...

Screen is scratchproof Przygocki

[cayton Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:22PM]

@Wesley Let me see it. I bet I can scratch it.

[wingedLegionary Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:04PM]

@fatslug
Why not just appreciate this for what it is? A bit of fun.

[qlimax Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:05PM]

EPIC

[TheSailor Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:12PM]

Awesome Viral, but I'm wondering - where did they get hold of such a huge Nexus One?!

[piddy poo Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:13PM]

Haha, this is great. Gotta love the stuff Google comes up with.

As Elton John once said...
"Hold me closer
Tiny Ninja"

[Smart People Play Tuba Posted Jan 18th 2010 7:31PM]

@Gregorian
I thought it was "Hold me close now, Tony Danza."

(i.e. that one episode of "Friends")

[lightforce Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:22PM]

thats awesome

[crazyleo Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:26PM]

Feeling like that guy is gonna get a WHOLE LOT of subscribers thanks to engadget :)

[Lekland Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:42PM]

Freaking epic!!

Where can I buy some of those ninjas!?!?

[AlienSix Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:51PM]

If google can build tiny ninjas into all unboxing of Nexus one. Can you say epic sales?

[TikiTeko Posted Jan 18th 2010 5:58PM]

From the Creators of "House of Daggers", "Karate Kid", and "Mulan"....

In a World of rising Electronics... comes ...

CROUCHING NEXUS ONE, hidden iPhone !

*** open Scene shows the Nexus One Ninja heavily multitasking at the speed of the Dragon. Kicking, punching, throwing daggers, gliding its sword against the iPhone - who all if can do is scream "iYaaahh, iYaaahhh" while walking back ***

[ECH Posted Jan 18th 2010 6:00PM]

Best ninja action sequence I've seen since "In the Name of the King".

Now if only this had Ray Liotta as an evil wizard... then they'd have something.

[catdaaaady Posted Jan 18th 2010 6:06PM]

Forgot the Nexus One, I need to know where I can get those Ninjas!
I have a whole garage they can clean up.

[IanKen Posted Jan 18th 2010 6:10PM]

I've got an idea: how about they stop making silly videos and start fixing the broken 3G radio? How about that?

Looks at N1: oh gee, look, GSM again. Nice. Not even Edge.

[jin and guice Posted Jan 18th 2010 6:48PM]

2nd only to the Nokia N900 box you had to plug in and "hack" to open.

[sonola777 Posted Jan 18th 2010 6:51PM]

Best unboxing video ever!

[shizbgby Posted Jan 18th 2010 6:59PM]

That was fucking epically awesome.

+100 will LMAO again!

Seriously, this brightened my somber day. Thank you Google and Engadget.

[Gadget Lover Posted Jan 18th 2010 7:10PM]

Creative, I wonder what Googleused to create that...

[chrissthomas Posted Jan 18th 2010 7:38PM]

That was awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[airmanos Posted Jan 18th 2010 7:51PM]

very nice :)

[RogueGenius Posted Jan 18th 2010 9:42PM]

That "real ultimate power" line was very well placed. Well played, Ziegler.

[theredsoxjew Posted Jan 18th 2010 11:33PM]

lol that was cool :) . The Nexus One ninjas. Maybe we will see the Apple ninjas one day, lol jk. :D

[pheodra Posted Jan 18th 2010 11:53PM]

Question, will the nexus one be released in Japan? please let it be so!
not enough ninja action in Japan these days.
or were the japanese phrases just for atmosphere?

[FLASHINC Posted Jan 19th 2010 1:20AM]

I thort that video was funky fresh.lol brill.I was thinkin it would b crap jus movin the ninjas around but that was well done and funny best unboxing of any phone lol.good job to the guys who made it.lol

[Davis Skye Posted Jan 19th 2010 11:01AM]

Hilarious!

[Mr Orlando Posted Jan 20th 2010 9:07AM]

You just can't help but love the ninja goodness.. Well played Google and the artist who shot this vid.

[Dsi2play Posted Jan 20th 2010 5:21PM]

I definetly wouldn't unbox a $500 phone like that. Unless the warranty covers damage by toy ninjas.

[Chmro Posted Jan 21st 2010 8:37AM]

they do worldwide shipping with dhl

[ndrwme Posted Jan 25th 2010 8:44PM]

I know it's a bit late, but I can't believe neither Engadget nor 2 pages of comments clearly mentioned that this video wasn't created at all by Google. AFAIK, Google, through its ownership of YouTube, gave a couple dozen top YouTubers (like nigahiga and sxephil) a free Nexus One on the terms that they make a video promoting the phone. I'd say this amazing video was worth much more than a Nexus One. If Google had hired a professional marketing agency, the production value would have been in the thousands at least. Anyone who's interested should also check out this guy's channel, where he presents much more of his low-budget high-quality stop-motion videos.
