Screen Grabs chronicles the uses (and misuses) of real-world gadgets in today's movies and TV. Send in your sightings (with screen grab!) to screengrabs at engadget dt com.
An automated vacuum cleaner that pumps out rap while tidying your mess? Call us crazy, but this very well may be the most intelligent thing the United States government has ever done.
See more video at our hub!
Last week on The Office a character took out an iPhone3GS (Apple logo clearly visible) to record a video for his companies website.
@Eminemdrdre00 Yeah, but thats not really unusual for the office. In the second season the christmas episode was centered around an ipod video.
@rhcpsfan Yeah, 30 rock has been pimping CISCO telepresence and flip video cams as well. I think product placement is a big deal on this generation of must see tv.
@Eminemdrdre00
Yeah, but he says "mp3 player" instead of "iPod" or something apple related. there are knock offs related to the iPod nano
@MrPacMan36 No in the episode where Michael Scott gets Ryan an iPod for their Secret Santa the make a huge deal about it being an iPod.
"United States government" ???
@juanvaldez Pawnee, Indiana government workers are the BEST!
@DarrenMurph makes a lot more sense after they thru up the video
@juanvaldez
I'm not sure they should quote this as the US Government.
Side note: Pawnee doesn't exist.
@juanvaldez
Parks and Recreation facilities are run by the government.
In other news, 1+1=2
DJ ROOMBA!
@TheBodyPolitic
its a hell of a lot more useful than the Sony Rolly
"You killed DJ Roomba!! I built him! He's like a son to me!"
Love that idea, great talking piece for parties and in cleans up mess!
You know what? Lol.
Haha, I've seen this episode 2 or 3 times since it aired on TV last week.
If you search for "The Life and Death of DJ Roomba" on YouTube then you can watch the DJ Roomba moments from the ep over and over !
I was so giddy when I saw this on parks and rec last week. I just may have to try this one out myself...
DJ Roomba! Turn it up!
Parks and Rec has been seriously funny this year. Wasn't sure it would make my watching schedule based off last year but they have really stepped up their game.
Funniest episode - the hunting accident. Classic.
@bjsguess Totally! Season One was meh, but ever since it has been top-notch funny.
@bjsguess Ever since they gave Aziz Ansari and Aubrey Plaza more screen time it's gotten a lot better. Aziz Ansari is an amazing comedian.
I seen this episode, and this show is really funny.
@Ryanrkm
Thanks for letting us know.
Finally makes the Roomba useful. Awesome show btw!
@EM1
I have a pug that sheds hair nonstop. You would never know it because my Roomba kicks in at 10am m-f every week and keeps the floor perfect. If that's not useful I don't know what is.
You must not have ever lived with a Roomba, or you have, but leave junk all over your floor that the Roomba can get hung up on.
Dudes. Can I just say that I LOVE my Roomba? Actually, you know what? Screw your approval, I want the internets to know of my Roomba love.
I LOVE YOU ROOMBA!!
@wooties You can indeed express your love for Roomba in this space. And a great job you just did of it.
The gadgets gets more unique everyday.
Awesome
What's hot, DJ Roomba!?
DJ Roomba, tearin' it uuuuuup!!
what are those elf shoes in the background?
i dont watch that show that much but caught that part and it was pretty funny, i would totaly do that to my roomba but that would require that i remove the giant sheep i have on top of it.
