    Lol! Just to funny. Anyone can tell by the look of those two that they are truly geeks :D gotta love it.

  2. Randy on 14 May 20:09:

    Right on!

  3. Michelle on 14 May 20:21:

    What’s in that last jar?

  4. Daniel on 14 May 20:22:

    I love it!! They say they’re going to post a few more in the coming days up to RailsConf. Can’t wait!

  5. Dr Nic on 14 May 20:27:

    haha “hibernate” = a bear in a jar

  6. Rob on 14 May 20:45:

    Very funny. I’m guessing the last jar is JRuby.

  7. Daniel Fischer on 14 May 20:47:

    Haha, that was truly amazing. nice :)

  8. Shannon on 14 May 20:47:

    I think the last Jar contained Mr Java’s soul…. funny.

  9. RSL on 14 May 20:48:

    Judging from its crimson color, I’d say he’s sniffing some of the Ruby goodness out of that last jar. Gotta be secretive when you’re a Java developer jonesin’ for the Ruby red.

  10. Joe Ruby on 14 May 21:07:

    I don’t think that dude has enough jars.

  11. Peter Cooper on 14 May 21:08:

    That’ll teach me to put up posts the minute I get them… :)

  12. Brandon Martinez on 14 May 22:31:

    That is sooo funny. I’ve never personally used Java, but I do know I love rails and that I don’t have to put up with all that crap :)

  13. Joe Ruby on 14 May 23:18:

    They should have had cobwebs (XML) connecting all the jars together.

    In addition to jars, they could have used…

    - A can of worms - Pandora’s Box

    demagogy, notnig more. some prefer to go “enterprise” way, some “nice nifty home-page” way. where do you go, dude? what do i actually like about rails? hmm. let’s see. it’s actually not such as nice and all-powerfull stack (don’t kick me, let me finish)... but… it did foresee THE right way, the DAO (or DO – way) of the WWW developing.. what can we see now? Z* dev, several python clones (or derivatives), several java clones (Stripes, ..). Persnalyy, I like the Google way about their gwt: “We don’t like Java, we like tools. Java have tools”. U will see that JBoss wiil do with their upcoming Seam framework :] I hope, i really hope, that ruby^rails will continue to shag me :] actually, it was the app/languag that make mee feel<=>think correcly (i am too young to think Lisp-y ;], to young to die )

  15. JLW on 15 May 01:21:

    The last jar is Kool-Aid.

  16. kommen on 15 May 06:05:

    Very very cool, I love it.

    Can we get more of these? :)

  17. Johan on 15 May 06:20:

    Fantastic!

  18. Alex on 15 May 06:44:

    And again, Apple pushes everybody to clone :)

  19. Diego on 15 May 10:00:

    Very funny! Although someone forgot that the guy on the right is also meant to be cool. Not a nerd like the guy on the left of the original Get A Mac ads. :)

  20. Chris on 15 May 10:08:

    what the … ? that’s deeply sad! ... and really rather stupid. Much drier – and far funnier – was a rather cutting description of RoR I overheard elsewhere as “kinda like a Visual Basic for web apps” ;D

    Personally, I find the whole Ruby .v. Java thing a bit childish and pathetic – on both sides of the fence.

  21. Ruben on 15 May 18:52:

    Hah! What a good laugh

    Good job guys :)

  22. Alex on 15 May 21:04:

    The red jar contains the stuff red pills are made of.

    Is the Java guy going to take the red pill? Or stay safely with the enterprise (i.e. blue) pill?

  23. unwilling_ror_convert on 16 May 04:15:

    I’m a ROR naysayer and I loved that!

  24. SEOG on 16 May 16:08:

    True geek humor indeed.

  25. Andy on 16 May 16:59:

    Quite funny and I’m a Java guy; we just need to get Grails on track (no pun intended) and then we can all make fun of the Microsoft peeps.

  26. Raffaele on 16 May 17:37:

    I’d like to see a similar video using Grails as contender.

  27. Chris on 16 May 17:43:

    They should have used a cooler guy for Ruby on Rails.

  28. Wisdom on 16 May 17:45:

    Very, very funny…I showed it to some of my Java Evangelist friends and they cracked… I am a Java guy, but also I am an enterpreneur. There’s no single solution for all our (programming, IT, ...) problems. I learned Ruby/Rails just because I am aware of that fact. I am using Rails(Ruby) whereever it fits the best. Also, there are places where I do not even think of using Ruby VS Java (or where even vs .NET) because they fit there much better than Rails. Being blindly in love of a single technology and claiming that that’s the answer for all our problems…c’mon…not wise. I would never like to work with those kinda of people. Assuming that mostly guys post comments to places like this, let me finish with a question: Would you like if all women wear same type of cloths, wear the same type of make-up, use the same parfume …how boring would that world be ?

  29. Mike Levin on 16 May 19:02:

    Yeah! Working smarter… My take is we’ve arrived at the point where we can easily add creativity to our “functional” work. Just gotta think things through!

  30. Sanjeev on 16 May 20:11:

    i am a good looking guy but dont hav a girlfried in serious sense , like we hav the relationship but are not willing to go ahead in lifelong relationship both of us, i am looking for a beautiful looking partner but when many times i hav made up i dont find atleast as cool as i am looking.I have always tried to hav a partner who is cool, nice , & loving that would be enough but girls hav always got diff things of demand. how should i make or find a perfect friend

  31. Félix on 17 May 01:47:

    Haha cool…

    If you like Get a Mac parodies, you should search YouTube for the “I’m a Marvel… and I’m a DC” series. It’s awesome. I’m not even into comics and all that, but the style is just too funny.

  32. FLaX on 17 May 03:24:

    haha effin great!

  33. @27 on 17 May 18:34:

    I don’t mind if they are all naked. It won’t be boring at all. :D

  34. Nick on 17 May 21:26:

    That is great!!! Looks like they have a whole series going on.

  35. Lawrence on 19 May 20:21:

    The red jar is the programmer’s blood who has to use java to get anything done.

  36. King Solomon on 19 May 22:36:

    Almost as dumb as the real commercial!

  37. totdt on 20 May 06:23:

    The last jar is Kool-Aid.

    And it’s some damn delicious Kool-Aid at that! C’mon… take a sip!

  38. Ryan Bergeman on 24 May 01:58:

    Hilarious XD

  39. haidar on 31 May 02:11:

    Very funny!

  40. je moeder on 31 May 20:05:

    very funny

  41. petter on 01 Jun 18:41:

    hahaha!

  42. OPTIMUS on 02 Jun 09:26:

    Excellent work guys! Can’t wait to see more of these… perhaps ‘old ASP/VB could visit ;)

  43. kikuman on 10 Jun 13:29:

    ahaha geat work guys !

  44. Robb on 11 Jun 16:50:

    Hmmm…

    The video is funny and cool, BUT:

    It makes me wonder – once you’ve got RoR all set up with an optimal web stack with exactly all the parts you want, what’s your configuration looking like then?

    Because, the setup you get “out of the box” is NOT enterprise-ready, correct?

  45. FuzzMop on 12 Jun 14:43:

    I wonder if http://railsforum.com/ bashes PHP like this… I mean, they use PunBB as their forum system!

    I love this movie, the guys are really nice.
