When an l33t (elite) girl introduces her n00b (newb, like a newbie) boyfriend to her parents, there’s bound to be an issue, which you can see in the ‘N00b Boyfriend’ video by CollegeHumor and Director Josh Ruben.

The ‘N00b Boyfriend’ video for CollegeHumor shows a girl introducing her technology-challenged boyfriend to her tech-friendly parents. Her mom informs her of the “epic fail” that will be the end of the relationship, and her father reminds his daughter of her place as a l33t.

I suppose the fact that I only understood half of this video makes me a n00b, but it’s a funny video either way.
