Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| ''"Will it blend? That is the question."''}} A Web series found throughout [[YouTube]], ''[[Will It Blend?]]'' is a [[Viral Marketing]] campaign consisting of a series of infomercials demonstrating the Blendtec line of blenders, especially the Total Blender. In the show, Tom Dickson, the Blendtec founder, attempts to blend various items in order to show off the power of his blender. Blendtec is the master of the [[Deceptively Simple Demonstration]]. It's actually ''easier'' to blend a hard item like a mobile phone or a golf ball than it is to perform normal blending tasks such as pureeing vegetables. A mobile phone isn't going to form a thick half-pureed liquid that coats the walls of the blender and leaves the blades spinning around in a bubble of air. Line 10: He and his blender have appeared on plenty of morning talk shows, as well as the Discovery Channel, and even on the History Channel's [[Long Runner]] [[Modern Marvels]]. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== The series provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The Boron Steel episode (Ford Fiesta ad). "First I tried to saw it, drill through it, torch it... I even jumped on it." * [[Big No]]: Heard in the background when breaking the iPad and blending the iPhone. Line 28 ⟶ 27: * [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Dickson's family members have sometimes influenced what he blends. * [[Running Gag]]: Many items are supposedly chosen because they caused something bad to happen to Dickson. {{quote\| "Uncle Floyd was playing the Wii with the grandchildren, and while he was bowling - strapless - he destroyed ''another'' TV. So I am going to blend the strapless Wiis."}} * [[Shout -Out to/To Shakespeare]]: The "Will it blend? That is the question." ---- {{quote\| ''"Yes it blends!"'' }} {{reflist}} [[Category:Notable Campaigns]] [[Category:Will It Blend?]] [[Category:Advertising]] [[Category:Memetic Works]]
