For your pleasure, I've mediatagged all the videos with their descriptions
[b]1: iDox Traveler Series Case[/b]
[quote]It's a case, within some bubble wrap, stuffed inside a padded envelope. This is revealed halfway through the unboxing clip - the rest is yet more padding. What did he expect to be in there? The poor youth even has to look at the instructions. Yes, he has to look at the instructions to see how a case works. And it turns out it isn't even really a case, it's more of a stand. It's all out-take, from start to finish. A disaster.[/quote]

[b]2: Warhammer[/b]
[quote]Here's a longshot, but do you by any chance want to watch a subtitled video of a Norwegian man opening a box of limited edition Warhammer toys? Oh go on, he goes through them in painstaking detail. He's put the effort in. You could at least help his video break the 1000 views barrier. Those Warhammer fans really care about stats like that.[/quote]

[b]3: Windows 7, motherfuckers[/b]
[quote]The most exciting thing about this video is when the man discovers the disc is in the DVD case the wrong way up. He awkwardly pages through the manual, pausing for the odd quip. He's also cheated by cutting through the security tag with a knife before filming began, so he's probably already had a good look through the box to think of things to say about its contents in advance. That goes against the ethos of the true unboxer.[/quote]

[b]4: Demon's Souls[/b]
[quote]Here's a worrying new trend which sees the unboxing video hijacked and used as a PR technique, with company employees such as the above expressing excitement that the finished version of the product they've been working on for the last 18 months does indeed contain all the things they know are inside it. As if the unboxing video wasn't bad enough, it's been turned into another form of advertisement.[/quote]

[b]5: METAL GEER[/b]
[quote]"We are going to have a party tonight" says a youth calling himself Fox McCloud DS, as he peels the cellophane off his copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 and shows the disc to the camera. The manual comes with a cartoon that "tells you like what's going on" - and then we get to watch it load. At least he stops filming before the game starts, as that's even more dull.[/quote]

[b]6: iPad 64gb 3G[/b]
[quote]You worry about the poor man waving such a sharp pair of scissors so close to his face. Events take a sensational twist two minutes in when he manages to lose the scissors, and has to resort to using his keys to rip the plastic off the box. But then he finds the scissors again and... oh god. It's marginally less frightening than spending half an hour on Chatroulette, but only just.[/quote]

[b]7: CHEESE[/b]
[quote]This one's quite arty and hypnotic, to be fair. The lack of sound adds a palpable sense of menace to proceedings, so much so that you half expect the cheese knife to start hacking off the fingers of the demonstrator. The only verbal feedback is an "Mmmmm" when a sample portion is consumed at the 1:14 mark. Sounds like a positive "Mmmmm" as well.[/quote]

[b]8: Car Charger[/b]
[quote]He got an iPod car charger kit for Christmas, but only got around to unboxing it on January 15. The video had 34 views last night, and two of those were generated by us - once to watch it, and once again as we reloaded the page to check we really had just watched it.[/quote]

[b]9: Pants[/b]
[quote]So we thought we'd search YouTube for "pants unboxing" to see if anyone had unboxed some pants on video. And people have, although only in the American sense of the word. So here's an American taking a pair of trousers out of a box, then giving us all a rundown of the pocket placements.[/quote]

[b]10: Vacuum Bags[/b]
[quote]Good god. He bought vacuum cleaner bags off eBay, despite not yet having a vacuum cleaner. And here is a video of them. A very long video of them. Some people are taking social media way too far. The clip goes black for a while at around the 0:50 mark as he has to put the camera down to open the box. He should've storyboarded it out first.[/quote]

I don't get the Windows 7 one. Was it the laugh at the end?
