[–]ImNotJesus 88 points89 points ago

It's like a modern day who's on first

[–]Spr09 20 points21 points ago

So when he gets payed, Who gets the paycheck?

[–]simpk1n 17 points18 points ago

*paid

Just in case someone learns from you.

[–]Spr09 2 points3 points ago

Apparently after a quick search and a couple of different spell checking programs, payed and paid are both the past tense of pay. Weird, didn't even notice I made a mistake.

[–]Zoloir 2 points3 points ago

Googled.

perhaps payed is past tense of your taxes withheld under the system

[–]legendlazy 1 point2 points ago

I thought "paid" was English whereas "payed" was American.

[–]Zoloir 3 points4 points ago

i didn't even know payed existed. I still think it's "wrong" by standard use.

Say - said

Lay - laid

Pay - paid

[–]afeller 15 points16 points ago

Sam Sung

[–]Naedlus 2 points3 points ago

I thought that Animaniacs already did that...

[–]ImNotJesus 8 points9 points ago

Protip: Animaniacs weren't in the first thousand to parody who's on first.

[–]Naedlus 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, and I'm guessing there are also other modern takes on it as well... this one just managed to stick in my mind better than the other "recent" attempts.

[–]xenophobias 2 points3 points ago

For anyone who hasn't seen Airplane's take on it.

[–]DELTATKG 1 point2 points ago

... And don't call me Shirley.

Yes

[–]cwnc2008 3 points4 points ago

  • "Samsung makes some of the parts for our phones, but we make the phones themselves."

  • "Oh, really? He must have gotten a promotion, he just helped me with my phone last time."

[–]joetromboni 6 points7 points ago

Sam's not here maaan!

[–]IWasGregInTokyo 0 points1 point ago

NO! I'm Sam!

Open the door, I think the cops saw me.

Murder.

Sounds like an episode of Seinfeld

[–]FruitPirate 0 points1 point ago

I am considering trying this out since I live in Vancouver and work close to Pacific Centre.

Would be funnier if Sam Sung worked at the Apple store in Metrotown where there's an actual Samsung store.

[–]nekochigura 2 points3 points ago

I read this as an asian man with a thick accent but perfectly good grammatically correct english looking for his friend.

[–]MAD92 0 points1 point ago

Who's on first?

[–]zaroalex 58 points59 points ago

Day 51: They still have not discovered that I am a spy..

[–]spazmodic- 2 points3 points ago

guy #1: "Hey Sam, lately we keep getting people coming in who say that their phone 'seems different somehow' after getting them back from repair, and when we get them to bring their phone in to take a look, we find out they have actually had their phones swapped with Samsung Galaxy S3s; do you know anything about this?"

Sam: "Nope. That's pretty weird."

Guy #1: "Yeah, I'm thinking it's Rebecca"

[–]ImNotJesus 26 points27 points ago

In the interview, his soon to be new manager Eric Son certainly didn't think that the name would be an issue.

[–]nekochigura 3 points4 points ago

nice dude. nice.

[–]fadedseaside 3 points4 points ago

Neither did his reference, Mr. Mike Rosoft.

[–]GandTforme -1 points0 points ago

Eric? Isn't his girlfriend Noki A.?

[–]RobertAPetersen[S] 68 points69 points ago

See? They had a guy on the inside. No wonder Apple sued.

[–]NinjaDinoCornShark 33 points34 points ago

Jesus fuck, nobody open stfu97's comment. It is disgusting.

Edit: for anybody super curious it is a dead cat with its intestines (?) spilling out.

[–]RobertAPetersen[S] 16 points17 points ago

Downvote and report, I already did.

[–]NinjaDinoCornShark 7 points8 points ago

I did but I don't want anybody else to open it and see it.

[–]killer-fel 6 points7 points ago

[–]NinjaDinoCornShark 4 points5 points ago

Oh.. this one is so cute... I was filled with rage... but now I'm only filled with confusion.

[–]TheVarmari 3 points4 points ago

Not opening. Nope. Never. Oh...

[–]Splatypus 4 points5 points ago

You just made me want to click it even more. I now regret this.

[–]NinjaDinoCornShark 2 points3 points ago

Should I just edit my comment to say what it is?

[–]Hermeran 0 points1 point ago

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE. I'M SCARED.

[–]MajorEcon 20 points21 points ago

[–]mooseman780 7 points8 points ago

Kind of curious now...

[–]studmuffffffin 4 points5 points ago

Me too. But I just finished eating.

Edit: Don't click on it. It's not worth it.

[–]HowieGaming 3 points4 points ago

What the fuck are you guys talking about? Its just a cute cat???

[–]Machine_Dick 0 points1 point ago

He edited the link.

[–]zainin 13 points14 points ago

[–]ShinyPichu -5 points-4 points ago

Aww, so cute.

[–]SinisterKid 12 points13 points ago

My sister always wanted to name her firstborn after my grandfather, Charles (Charlie if it was a girl). That was until she got married to a guy with the last name Manson.

[–]Thehealeroftri 3 points4 points ago

If she really hated her son she could still name him Charlie.

[–]BlackSnakeMoans 0 points1 point ago

If she really hated her son she could still name him Charles.

[–]jadkik94 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who didn't get it?

[–]lvs34 1 point2 points ago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson

[–]jadkik94 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for googling that for me :)

And is that what Ozzy Osbourne's song is about? I'll check that one. No need to google it for me :p

Edit: confirmed.

[–]Kagisaria 8 points9 points ago

And they can't figure out how Samsung keeps stealing stuff. His name might as well be Not A Spy.

[–]Asquared1205 7 points8 points ago

The initials of the location are PC.

[–]JoeDusk 3 points4 points ago

The man who defied destiny.

[–]Trinor 3 points4 points ago

May I introduce, your supreme overlord... Mr Sam Sung CEO of Apple!

[–]Koopslovestogame 2 points3 points ago

he DID atleast get a backhanded apology ... in the uk, in a small 8 point font.

[–]Maskawisewin 0 points1 point ago

Mr. Sam Sung works at the Apple store inside the PC? I'd say Apple is surrounded.

[–]boxfooter 3 points4 points ago

It's always cool to find redditors from the same city

[–]havenless 3 points4 points ago

I expected someone named Mike Rosoft or something

[–]palordrolap 2 points3 points ago

Fun fact: Samsung is actually made up of two Korean words, sam and sung.

Even funner fact: Sam means 'three' and sung means 'stars'.

Even even funnerer fact: The three stars are those in Orion's belt.

Conclusion-y fact: The person who named Samsung named it after the Korean name for Orion's belt.

Other fact: Orion's belt is called 'three stars' in many south-east asian cultures.

[–]djstryker 0 points1 point ago

You're novelty account should be called "fun facts."

[–]palordrolap 0 points1 point ago

Regrettably, many of the things I believe to be facts later turn out to be in fact, factoids, and that they are fun is not always an opinion shared by others.

Also, even though this name isn't for novelty, it's nice to be able to turn up in the odd palindrome thread occasionally, but with no pressure. I don't need another account where I actually have to ... the horror ... try.

[–]shizzler 2 points3 points ago

I thought the guy's name was Pacific Centre and it took me a while to spot the "Sam Sung". I'm not a bright man.

[–]Evildead818 2 points3 points ago

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time

[–]uncRudd 26 points27 points ago

Wow

[–]lethargicwalrus 10 points11 points ago

You haven't exhaled softly that much in a long time.

[–]RobertAPetersen[S] 5 points6 points ago

As soon as he met you hot stuff.

[–]RobertAPetersen[S] 4 points5 points ago

In case anyone thought this might be faked, I found his LinkedIn profile:

http://ca.linkedin.com/in/ssung

[–]WateryBarStool 2 points3 points ago

Lucky guy is going to get an unreal amount of profile views.

[–]balr 10 points11 points ago

I don't think anyone really cares if it's fake or not.

It is however not very nice to the actual person out there. You didn't even mask his phone number. And now you even post his online profile? WTF is wrong with you?

[–]Squeak_Scolari 3 points4 points ago

It's not his personal number, it's the stores number. No personal numbers are put on Apple business cards.

[–]balr 0 points1 point ago

Oh ok then, nevermind me.

[–]RobertAPetersen[S] 6 points7 points ago

Uh, the point of LinkedIn is to spread that information. That's why he posted it.

[–]dkmag 0 points1 point ago

Did he change it to Tony Sung?

[–]hobsonUSAF -1 points0 points ago

Wong Way!

[–]M_bare_assed 0 points1 point ago

Sam Sung works at Apple's PC branch. Interesting

[–]alphafuzard 1 point2 points ago

Well he did sing....

[–]jadkik94 0 points1 point ago

Sam Sung Apple a song for its birthday!

[–]LATKE_IN_MY_TUCHES 1 point2 points ago

That employee is a spy!

[–]re-lv13 1 point2 points ago

im going to this store just to pick up one of his business card.

[–]pie-man 0 points1 point ago

i was expecting "Mycro Saft"

[–]dudix81 -1 points0 points ago

Apple hires Sam Sung, ends all law suits.

[–]daejeeduma[!] 1 point2 points ago

now i'm waiting for the samsung employee named Ah Pul

[–]SlaughterMeister 0 points1 point ago

I bought my headphones at this store.

[–]kobun253 2 points3 points ago

Ann Droid would never get hired.

[–]scyp10 -1 points0 points ago

Not only that, but Pacific Centre stands for PC.

[–]FToast -1 points0 points ago

The reverse. Most of us who live in Vancouver do call Pacific Centre "PC" though.

[–]scyp10 -1 points0 points ago

That's what I meant.

[–]veroEgiusto 0 points1 point ago

I was expecting Bill Gates

[–]SpacemanSpifffy 1 point2 points ago

Was expecting some variant of wang or sexual innuendo. Got irony instead.

Nice.

[–]ErikThe_Red 1 point2 points ago

I live in burnaby,I will try and confirm this tomorrow!

[–]EX5TASY 0 points1 point ago

and this is what he looks like.

[–]Motherlicka 0 points1 point ago

Yo man, when's Samsung getting here?

[–]EKsTaZiJA -1 points0 points ago

i wonder how he actually got a job there. if i was hiring at an apple store i wouldve just thrown his resume out

[–]Mustang500 0 points1 point ago

Thought the guy's name was pacific centre

[–]TheMetalMilitia 0 points1 point ago

hmmm Pacific Centre= PC Sam Sung works there. Samsung. its all a conspiracy.

[–]mr_rob_oto 0 points1 point ago

Sam Sung WINS

[–]hairless_kiwi 0 points1 point ago

I thought samsung makes the chip for the iPhones?

[–]Noel_S_Jytemotiv 0 points1 point ago

Mister Sung can use an initial. Has only self to blame.

[–]IMAPocketWhaleAMA 0 points1 point ago

"Why would they name a kid Pacif...oh."

[–]elviscooper 0 points1 point ago

I only upvote things in /r/funny if I actually, truly LOL.

Have an upvote.

[–]ZeMoose 0 points1 point ago

They hired him to deny Samsung a real life mascot. If only Sam Sung knew what he had going for him.

[–]BioQuark 0 points1 point ago

You know, Samsung manufactures the A4/A5/A6 chips used by iPhones and iPads...

[–]darknyan 0 points1 point ago

Lol, I notcied that a few days ago/

[–]1corvidae1 0 points1 point ago

I actually had one called Reaper...

[–]Red5point1 1 point2 points ago

Posting personal details is frowned upon, is it not?
Maybe bnalking out the specific store details would be a good idea.

[–]RobertAPetersen[S] 10 points11 points ago

Is it personal details tho if one works in a publically accessible business?

I could tell you Tim Cook works at 1 Inifinte Loop in Palo Alto as well, or there is a Barack Obama at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[–]BloodFlood 13 points14 points ago

Contact the president, his ID has been compromised!

[–]theodrixx 3 points4 points ago

Okay, where does he live??

[–]BloodFlood 1 point2 points ago

Hm...

[–]Ozzy7 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, there's a difference. We never post car license plates since a bit of sleuthing can turn up a guy's address. Never mind that no one would be comfortable knowing that his car and its license plate are on the web.

But an employee's name and a business's address? I think some hyperactive people are more likely to misinterpret this as shameless brand store plugging.

[–]321_boom 5 points6 points ago

I think Apple was trying to bnalk SamSung from selling knalk off products too, right?

[–]A1ka1inE 0 points1 point ago

Apple actually use a ton of Samsung parts in their devices.

[–]tonterias 1 point2 points ago

Control + f "paci"...

Guess I was the only one who thought his name was Pacific Centre...

[–]juice585 -1 points0 points ago

Well, Apple does have everything belonging to Sam Sung. Might as well get him, too.
