Top Ten Things That Sound Cool When Said By A Giant Robot (Optimus Prime):

10. Jergens Lotion leaves my hand silky smooth
9. Do you have these Khakis in size 114?
8. My perfect night is a pint of Haagen-Dazs and season 3 of Sex and the City
7. Man do I love these 'taters!
6. It was so hot in Central Park today, I saw a squirrel putting sunblock on his nuts
5. You seemed little pitchy (picky?), dawg
4. Brody Jenner had added you as a friend on Facebook
3. Live from New York it's Saturday Night!
2. My parents wanted me to be a rabbi
1. All the slammin's shorties in da hosue say YEAH!

They did a real good Prime animation. When it was over Dave said "Good luck getting a cab!"
Apparently he doesn't get the concept behind Transformers.

Anyone else think #2 was a Family Guy reference?

I'm thinking it's more than coincidental.

I immediately thought of that as well. But it's alright.

"Optimus Prime? You're a Jew???"

But Family Guy has a few good TF references, one with Soundwave, also one with Megatron, and don't forget, Crippletron!

OMG that was awesome! And they actually had Peter Cullen doing the voice!

David Letterman's such an idiot though. And I'm not just talking about that comment. I don't find him entertaining at all. The guy needs to retire already. Let someone else take over.

Oh, and that "Optimus Prime is Jewish" thing will never die now.

I laughed. A lot. Way to go Prime

So true. I don't think he is funny. He pauses too much to get laughs to jokes that aren't funny. All he gets is courtesy laughs and applause. He's not even a good interviewer. No wonder Leno was kicking his ass for the last 15 years.

I thought #6 should have been #1 though. That was the funniest.

I just finished watching it and it kicked mega @$$!

I thought it was intentional, perhaps the writers are fans of Family Guy?

Hayden P. looked good afterword...

But yeah, the Optimus thing was cool. Thankfully it was not the Twins.

Damn it i missed it. Hopefully itll be on youtube in a few days.

As I was scanning youtube for it, I came across a video of David Letterman 'playing with' the transforming Prime rig blaster from the first movie. Pretty funny. PG-13 humor for sure. And it fits right in with the first movie's reference to Sam's Happy Time.

On CBS' front page they have 10-8 as a preview. The whole thing will probably be put up tomorrow...

It just aired on the "Left" Coast and yeah, #6 should have been #1. And I don't think that was a mod job on the voice. That had to be all Cullen. I can see Dave swinging that.

I'm sure it'll be on youtube later, but for now, I found it here:

I must say that Dave doesn't really GET Transformers...

Here's a YouTube link to it:

pst, don't tell CBS. OK?

*facepalm* This is terrible, I actually felt appalled listening to this. Then reading everyone's comments.

Well... he sounded cool saying #1... kinda... *cries*

Wow, that wasn't funny at all. I never liked Letterman's Top 10 lists.

Phenotype wrote:Wow, that wasn't funny at all. I never liked Letterman's Top 10 lists.

Much like his jokes and monologue, about 10% of them are funny.

I just watched the YouTube clip and was'nt too impressed -
BUT it was cool to see that they made an effort, and yeah it was
definitely Cullen's voice - overall, not a bad effort, but Dave
needs to retire or get new writers - and I also agree, #6 shoulda been #1!

Not the funniest, but that was pretty awesome. Doesn't it take hours for one frame of animation? I'm suprised they animated all that for just the late show lol. Still awesome seeing Prime in motion anyways.

The animation looks great. Anyone know if they got ILM to do that for them?

Somethings seems werid to me about the way prime was animated. Looks unreal to me

autobot commander wrote:Somethings seems werid to me about the way prime was animated. Looks unreal to me

its probably because Letterman is filmed live on video and not film. So the CGI comes out a little more due to that.

but i gotta say i love the fact they kept his face plate on and made it move like the cartoon. there's your proof that Bay was totally wrong for giving him a proper mouth. it looked fine.

also i hope this gets added as an extra on the dvd/blu-ray.

I like it when Prime shifts from normal stance to battle mode stance with the clamping of his face plate. It brings more of an impact to the fights, like when Bumblebee's protective helmet snaps into place.

That was quite funny actually =D

I hate when someone want some robot to have a religion ... Stupid THING

Actually, that was the only good joke from the top 10... the rest of them contained references I don't know anything about or were just plain bad.

Youtube yanked the video b/c CBS bitched. Still would like to see this - anybody have a link to it??
Thx.

edit: NM -- found it on late show website. It was alright, but could've been funnier/better
