Will it blend?

I mentioned it in another thread, and thought I'd make a thread for the heck of it.

"Will it blend?" is a series of humorous infomercials by the Blendtec company that has turned into a viral video sensation. While I don't think they're quite a meme in themselves (at least by KYM's definition), they are definitely popular, and for some indescribable reason, very mesmerizing.

The "Will it blend?" series is also one of those meme-savvy phenomena like the "Autotune the news" folks, having over the course of their run blended magnets, a stun gun ("Don't blend me, bro!"), various iPhones (and an iPad!), v ariouss popular video games including Guitar Hero 3 (controller and all!), pork and beans (a Blender appeared in Weezer's video, BTW), a vuvuzela, and Old Spice:

The series has spawned the minor memetic phrase "X smoke: don't breathe this!" and found (although it's not on their channel for some reason, but can be found on YouTube) that everything blends…except Chuck Norris.

Cool. I was wondering if they did a light bulb, because I've heard that can be cool. Turns out they did it for their first episode:
