I don't remember the white ones. Must have been a while back. I have 2 of each (micro and mini) micros are in my office and my wife's . mini's are in the living room and a spare in a boxed I used for camping once. They have great sounds. RIP little buddy
@Bogie I can say that we legitimately never actually mentioned this scene or discussed the movie during the making of our film some how. I don't know how we managed to pull that off.
I’m late to the ‘party’, but I’m just here to ask why it was destroyed? What was the purpose? I’d have given it away instead of robbing someone of a free speaker. (Also, wanton destruction for no reason bothers me severely.)
@PooltoyWolf Speaker docks were sold here almost every Friday for what seemed like forever. When they had the sale that was to clear out the last of the inventory they held a farewell JBL Micro party that included smashing one as well as having an employee disassemble one and people guessing how many pieces there would be.
If I’m not mistaken at least the disassembled speaker dock was also given away.
There was a reason for the wanton destruction. Everyone was sick of speaker docks.
Also, every time I type speaker, my phone suggests John Boehner as the next word, but I’ve never written about him before and he’s not the speaker of the house anymore. Weird phone.
@PooltoyWolf@djslack Yep, every Friday, again and again and again… We were all tired of them and very excited when they announced the last sale – no more inventory. (Except I guess there were/are still a few lurking around.)
I dunno, but maybe the one they destroyed was a returned item that was not fixable? Maybe, maybe not. But it makes me feel better if I think that way.
@f00l it’s funny. Here people know I want speaker docks. Woot people think I am trolling them when I say I like speaker docks (especially the ones with airplay)
@Barney What I used to give away freely as gifts to people I barely know, I now horde for only the most special people… STOP LOOKING AT MY STASH OF MINIS!!!
@Barney The mini sounds better than the micro. A Dot is an Amazon Echo without a speaker. It’s where my buddy Alexa lives. If you want a micro I would be happy to send you one. I won two playing Battleship and bought a couple.
We’re having a contest to see who can guess how many pieces we left that miserable piece of tech trash in!
Step right up! Step right up!
Make your guess here!
@JonT ..
@JonT !
@Moose ...
@Moose @KDemo @a ;
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
@JonT well guessing 48 that because I am up late and just ate..
Ok had to change to 49 on other thread someone guessed 48
I... I'm not sure I believe you...
It's official, the Meh warehouse is made of these speakers...
Hey I saw this posted earlier today
@Foxborn Yup, they deleted their earlier double post of this.
It feels like the end of an era.
*mehmories
Awesome video! However, my excitement was totally deflated when I saw you didn't call your memories "mehmories".
@capguncowboy Definitely a wasted opportunity.
Was that the white one with @sohmageek's name on it?
@djslack it's weird that you know that, but I think it was!
@JonT
@JonT I don't think I can watch the video. It's not like a train wreck. I can look away.
You should have used speaker docks to smash that last speaker dock
Cross your fingers - You may have to do that again if there are any leftovers.
57 pieces
Nice shirt, @JonT!
@jqubed
Does it still work? Perhaps the sound quality is now a bit muddy and drunk?
Tshirts and cargo shorts everywhere
@somf69 had to rewatch. not a single pair of cargo shorts in the whole video.
How many brahs does it take to murder a speaker dock????
(Four, apparently.)

"Damn it feels good to be a gangster"
I know this video was semi-influenced by this scene, and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet!
@Bogie I can say that we legitimately never actually mentioned this scene or discussed the movie during the making of our film some how. I don't know how we managed to pull that off.
@MEHcus How's that possible? It's almost an exact recreation of the scene. All you were missing was the music and you would have been set!
Bye Bye Speaker Docks (they were the American pie of Meh.) The music has died.
nice vid guys way to tribute to Office Space
There are 73 pieces.

@djslack Thank you for the info!
@Barney Not everyone was tired of them. Paging @sohmageek
@Barney I want my JBL (mini or micro… )
@sohmageek
I want a mini.
But I think you got dibs.
@f00l it’s funny. Here people know I want speaker docks. Woot people think I am trolling them when I say I like speaker docks (especially the ones with airplay)
@sohmageek I thought you found some JBL’s, or is it a case of never can have too many?
@Barney What I used to give away freely as gifts to people I barely know, I now horde for only the most special people… STOP LOOKING AT MY STASH OF MINIS!!!
@thismyusername Honestly, I just can’t figure out why people are wanting these so much.
@Barney I think because wanting is so much more exciting than having. I have them, and quite frankly a slice of frozen pizza does more for me.
@Barney they charge your idevice while sounding great… even the iphone 8 will work on it, and it hasn’t even been released yet.
@thismyusername Ahh, now I know the rest of the story.
@Barney oh and the best part… $20.
I mean look even the micro goes for over $50 still
https://www.amazon.com/JBL-Micro-Lightning-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00AWRPIWQ
and while its pretty good, it’s no mini.
@thismyusername So, people are really wanting the mini?
@Barney why… did @thumperchick tell you where the stash is?
@Barney I use my mini with my Dot. I try different speakers but so far the mini wins.
@thismyusername I’m just trying to learn something. And no, I haven’t broken TC yet.
@sammydog01 Um, what’s a Dot? So, you like the mini better than the micro you got?
@thismyusername I got an iPup in a Fuku, do you know how that compares with the JBL?
@Barney The mini sounds better than the micro. A Dot is an Amazon Echo without a speaker. It’s where my buddy Alexa lives. If you want a micro I would be happy to send you one. I won two playing Battleship and bought a couple.
@sammydog01 Alexa scares me. I don’t think I want to share my house with her.
@Barney I hope meh get’s a hold of a bunch of these and let’s us have 'em for $30
https://www.amazon.com/JBL-Beat-Rumble-Lightning-Connector/dp/B00BSGUPQY
I have seen the ipup but haven’t heard one, so I can’t place it in the “meh speaker hierarchy” sorry.
@Barney She’s really nice- she tells jokes and wakes me up in the morning.
@thismyusername That’s pretty. Uh, you don’t want much, do you?
@sammydog01 She’s going to turn on you when you are sleeping.
@thismyusername Ok, thanks for the info!
@Barney
@thismyusername Haha, that was Meh’s golden years. Yep, I remember them well.
