Geek Aquad will help you with your camera, but not your English paper

1. [Cpt. Tim]

   thats just enough time to explain to them the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and have them forget it before you leave.

2. [Elvis Pelt]

   What? No proofreaders among the Geek Aquad?

3. [Anonymous]

   When you call geek aquadeam hunger force frlock will help you out but if master shake shows up kiss your camera goodbye.

4. [zikman]

   the typo was the least of the problems in that sign.

5. [Anonymous]

   I don’t get it. What should I be looking at?

6. [drippykid]

   Is this another one of those special Olympics jokes?

7. [Rob Beschizza]

   You’ll shit bricks when you see it.

8. [Anonymous]

   Awwww, wouldja just spoil the joke for those of us who don’t have all day to look through it?

9. [ehamiter]

   Is he in a wheelchair? And why are his eyes so disturbingly blue? And what the hell is he looking at? He looks like a savant assembling a camera, but in a smug, demon-possessed style.

    Cpt. Tim, I don’t think most members of Geek Aquad know the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and ISO.

11. [mrmcd]

    Looks like a typical Nikon user to me…

    *runs away and hides*

12. [mmbb]

    MRMCD, looks more like a typical photoshop to me (you can tell by the pixels and having seen a few…)

13. [Trevour]

    Argh that was painful to read through did you know that?

14. [MrWeeble]

    Ok, I don’t get it. Sure, the text could use a couple of commas between certain clauses. Only thing I could see that might be joke worthy is that they guy is in a “Best Buy” t-shirt, who I understand to be some kind of electrical retailer, so therefore should know how to use the product? Is that a dig at a rival chain? Even so, that is not an English Language error, it is presumably intentional.

    Please explain

15. [GaryG]

    Read it five times now, very slowly and (apart from the typo and ‘special olympics’ dubiousness) still don’t get it…

    Expln pleez? kthxbai.

16. [Kyle Armbruster]

    It implies that people in wheelchairs are too dumb to use cameras because using cameras is harder than walking and they are obviously too dumb to do that.

    That’s why it’s funny. Duh.

17. [dculberson]

    The intended company in question is the tech support division of Best Buy, but they do not have a division named Geek Aquad.

18. [GaryG]

    Yeah, I got both those points (as observed in my original post…)

    Were they it then?

    Maybe I have a different definition of brick shittingly funny.

19. [infestacool]

    Aquad should be Squad. not funny to me but I’m sure it gave people who blog/write a good chuckle.

    you guys are sick.

20. [Alan]

    Y’know, I’m looking at this picture, and his face, and the way he’s holding the camera and the lens, and all I can think is him saying “Accidents happen, see, and we’d hate to see an accident happen to your nice camera here, know what I mean?”

21. [Anonymous]

    Teh funnay (as it were) can be summed up as “We can show you how your camera works, but we can’t figure out how to use the spellcheck feature on our word processor.”

22. [vettekaas]

    this made my day for some reason

23. [invictus]

    I’m not sure what’s more frightening: The ad, or that virtually none of the commenters could see what was wrong with it. And no, I’m not referring to the single-letter typo.

24. [Anonymous]

    You must be talking about how they typed didnt instead of didn’t, right?

25. [Xanni]

    None of you noticed the missing apostrophe!
