New Video! The Adventures Of Getting Meg To Wear Her Lab Coat

4935 views

Yes, it's hard to get Meg to cooperate and be a team player. Check out the newest Tip Jar Video (we're at $7,947.74 through donatetoconsumerist.com, can we get to $10k?) to see what Ben had to go through to get his rascally co-editor to play ball and wear her lovely powder blue lab coat.

Poor Ben.

He just wants to take his work seriously!

Am I the only one who wonders what's in the 2nd door on the left that no one goes into? And please promise us you will not turn Captain Duval Moneycat into the Scrappy-Do of this "Scooby-Do" series.

Also, I'll wear it Ben!

Wasn't this already posted? Oh well.

user-pic

LMAO I just happened to be playing this video when "A Hard Day's Night" came up on my playlist. Hilarious!

user-pic

Meg won't dance or wear her lab coat! Think of it as flair.

user-pic

I feel like the theme music from The Benny Hill Show would be more appropriate here.

user-pic

I tried to donate when the "Taking it seriously.. since never!" video came up but the donation site wouldn't work for me :(

Maybe I'll try again today. Or maybe I'll write a strongly worded letter to the execs and see what THEY have to say!

@pecan 3.14159265: While Meg is as cute as Jenny Aniston(I totally did not mean that in a creepy stalkey way, I SWEAR), I don't thing Ben is that bad a boss:

user-pic

@Acolyte: Me three. So much more fitting.

"It's time for a sexy labcoat party!"

user-pic

@Chris Walters: Are they made from repurposed Circuit City polos?

user-pic

I was simply going to pop for a donation to get the tip jar up to $10k, but then I read the post above this one.

user-pic

Wow, the videos' been up for almost an hour and there haven't been any crybabies complaining about this video yet. Amazing!

user-pic

@squinko: Nor have we seen any of the "Why isn't Meg in a thong bikini?" crowd either...such simple blessings.

user-pic

@WaywardSoul: Oh, yeah, that's not creepy at all.

user-pic

@Yoko Broke Up The Beatles: Oh, Yakety Sax, how you make everything both funnier and better.

user-pic

Someone please de-interlace that video.

user-pic

Why are Ben and Meg always wearing the same clothes in these videos?

Donate to Consumerist. Get Ben and Meg new clothes.

user-pic

@RandomHookup:
"Very cute" made you not donate?
Missing the logic here.

user-pic

@rekoil: Uhh.. you spoke exactly 3 minutes too late.

Gross.

user-pic

@twophrasebark: Ben said they recorded all of the videos on the same day.

user-pic

I think the video got hit by the Lifehacker effect, it won't load for me.

user-pic

They should have blocked off that window in the back.

user-pic

@WaywardSoul: Way to be creepy, sexist and disgusting at the same time.

user-pic

@theblackdog: Hey, the consumerist is competing for my Internet dollars, they need to step up to the plate with their "A" game. We're in a recession you know - I only have so many to spend, and I have to put them where they best meet my needs.


Oh well, off to watch re-runs of The Man Show and plan my budget.

user-pic

Maybe you guys will give someone 10 bucks to teach you how to deinterlace videos.

user-pic

@WaywardSoul: The fact that you watch The Man Show explains the behavior you exhibited in your post.

Does this qualify for a disemvowling or is the ban hammer needed?

@Jenkinsbball: I foresee a ban hammer in your future for that one.

user-pic

i'm too lazy to watch the video. how does it end?

user-pic

@triscuitbiscuit:
New Credit Card Rules Won't Stop You From Making Bad Decisions

The blog post, not the comment. I can see the confusion, though.

user-pic

@Jenkinsbball: Ban, please! Trolls like this douchebag contribute nothing.

user-pic

@WaywardSoul: You know, there's being complimentary, then there's being just plain creepy. It's things like this that would make even ME not do a video(and I'm pretty open, if my avatar is any indication), if it led to comments like this amongst others. Have a little decorum and class.

Meg is the Co-Executive Editor of a website that gets MILLIONS of hits, possibly daily if not certainly weekly. She is an intelligent person who also happens to be a woman. If you have no respect for her gender, than at least have some for what she has/is accomplishing along with her colleagues on a daily basis.

Sorry for getting so nasty, but there is a line, and you crossed it.

user-pic

@Jenkinsbball: There are no words that describe how angry this comment makes me.

For what it is worth, I apologize on behalf of my gender for jerks like this.

user-pic

@Jenkinsbball: Seriously man. I was thinking "wow she's cute. Maybe I should write a comment that says 'wow meg's cute.'", but then you crawled out of your mom's basement with that post.


Dude - boundaries.

user-pic

@WaywardSoul: I'm sure Meg will be hurt if you use your money to renew your subscription to your favorite porn sites rather than donate it to The Consumerist.

Would you be willing to donate if Ben was seductively washing a car, wearing a banana hammock? (Now there's an idea! ;)

user-pic

@Jenkinsbball: You know that there's free porn all over the rest of the Internet, and you don't need to creep-ify this place?

user-pic

@veg-o-matic: And there's one further down about her being in a solo porn vid. Classy.

user-pic

'd ttlly dnt f cld gt vd f nkd Mg dng... thngs t hrslf.

user-pic

Glad to see I'm not the only one disturbed by the creepy posts. Seriously great video, although I also anticipated the Benny Hill music. The music with it was fine though, so no complaints :).

I'll donate again down the road.

user-pic

@PartOfIMAXConspiracy_GitEmSteveDave: Nasty? That was let off very very mildly, judging by the Internet Hate Machine standards. I mean, it was perfectly well reasoned and zero name calling!!

@squinko: Now THAT certainly would convince me to donate again!

user-pic

It's a powder blue nightmare.

user-pic

@PartOfIMAXConspiracy_GitEmSteveDave: Seriously. I mean I have made my share of "Meg is as cute as a button" comments, but they are always complimentary and respectful. That comment is just plain disgusting.

No need to apologize on behalf of our gender though. He does NOT speak on behalf of all guys. He is just a random creep who happens to be a male.
