You Win a Phone if I Laugh
I still have 4 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phones to give away. For the next contest I wanted to do something very fun.
To enter you basically need to make a 2 minute or less video explaining why you should win. The video that is the funniest to me wins. Make sure the video isn’t offensive in any way. That is basically the only requirement. Don’t think the video has to be fancy in any way. I just want you to make some people laugh. The deadline for entry is April 30th.
How to Enter
- Record a funny video about why you should win
- Upload it to YouTube
- Post the link to the video in the comments below
- I may decide to use a clip from the video in a future video if I decide to have the community vote on the winner
- I won’t use any of your personal information in any way
- Feel free to post a link to this using any of the social networks below
Thank you
The wonderful people at the Samsung Developers Network gave me these phones to give to you. I want to thank them once again for giving me the opportunity to give back to the wonderful people in my community 🙂
Derek
This is challenging, Derek! Hmmm
Just a point of clarification, the subject of the video could be anything, right? It does not have to be me uttering why I should win, right? 🙂 Can the reason why I should win is merely implied in the video?
The goal is to be very funny, without offending anybody above all else. It doesn’t need to focus completely on why you should win.
Deep thought going into this one because I really want to win something (first time in my life) (: regardless thank you for giving us this opportunity
Great! I can’t wait to see the videos. I’m very excited 🙂
Hope this makes some people smile 🙂

Worked with the best video editor since others wouldn’t work.
Hope you enjoy it 😀
Thank you very much for making the video, but at least part of the video has to be about why you should win. Feel free to add just that little part and you are in the contest. I’m very sorry if I didn’t make that clear.
I do apologize for my mistake, will have another video up shortly 🙂
Not a problem. I’m sorry if I didn’t explain that better.

Hi, nice opportunity
You have till the end of the month to make a video. I only have 1 entry so far
hello Derek
I’m going to enter android app contest
could you please post the contest requirement so we have time
to create our app that fits inside
even if you did not start receiving apps for the contest just
the requirement.
thank you a lot
For the app part of the tutorial I just require people to make an Android app using any tool they want. Some place in the app you’ll have to post an email that I can use to contact you. That is just to verify I get the prize to the right person. It can be a throw away email, but I need that. That is the only rule except that it can’t be hurtful in any way to people in regards to race, religion or overly violent.
I wish you the best of luck 🙂
My new entry http://youtu.be/JpuVWxCD3Fk 🙂
Thank you for clarifying the competition details the first time around Derek 😀
Thank you very much 🙂 That was very funny.
Hi Sir Derek,
I want to join this contest. Just want to clarify the specific requirements are:
1. Make a personal funny video about 2 minutes more or less.
2. Part of the video is the reasons why I should win the contest?
is that correct?
Thanks…
+elrepz
Yes those are the only rules. You then must post the link on this page. I can’t wait to see the videos 🙂
Hello Sir Derek,
My Funniest Video Entry to Derek by elrepz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3JvRQgSdPE&feature=youtu.be
Sorry for my english, I put a subtitle to it so that you can I understand what I’m trying to say..
Hope you will enjoy it and make you laugh so that I can win.. hahaha..
Thanks for the opportunity and all your tutorials it really helps me a lot..
+elrepz
Wow! Thank you for putting so much time into a great video 🙂 I laughed many times at it. I wish you all of the luck in winning the contest.
Thank you for the nice feedback Sir Derek, I’m a training Instructor of computer school. We will plan to put Java Programming and Android Development as our subject by next semester. I’m so very happy because of your great tutorials it really help to our students and I will recommend your channel and this website to them for references.
Thanks once again Sir…
+elrepz
Thank you 🙂 I will be starting a new Java Android tutorial very soon. I hope you like it.
Very funny video. My friend, I don”t know if things are different where you are, but if you pay cellular service, most companies “give” you a free phone when you sign up with them.Perhaps not a Note 3, but some pretty nice phones. If you had a Note 3, you’d have to pay a “lot” more money, because they make you pay a lot extra for internet on a smart phone, “any” smart phone. And they will not let you use a smart phone as a basic non-internet phone. I know, because I tried. If you need to call family and you are broke, use one of the free telephony programs on your computers. Even Google has one now. Good luck and God bless. A.H. : )
So I am planning on entering,what exactly is the prize, and I love making people laugh.
You have until the end of the month to enter. The prize is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, plus I pay the shipping.
Here is my funny video 🙂 Without reason why should I win Samsung Galaxy Note 3 because I don’t have any particular reason. I hope you will laugh a little bit 🙂

tnx for great tutorials
Cute little boy 🙂 Thank you for submitting a video.
one of the challenge should be a science :). i’m learning physics in Mataram University and i’m planning to make android app for science learning like simulations but i don’t have any android device to try it(it’s too expensive for me). i’m feeling sad that all of your challenge not suited for me.
But as long as you keep upload great video tutorials, it’s OK. Cause your tutorials worth much more than $900 :).
Thanks for sharing ~
Thank you very much for the compliment 🙂 One of the contests will probably just require people to write me a short story. For the video it doesn’t have to be fancy. If someone just sat at a web cam and told me popular jokes from their country they may very well win. I will be judging on whether I laugh or not and nothing else will matter. I hope you consider submitting a video. I’d love to see it 🙂
Still working on my video, cant wait to post it. 😀
I can’t wait to see it 🙂

Finally, Im happy with the result as its made in one week, I hope u enjoy!
Thank you very much for submitting the video. Very funny. Sorry to hear you were hit by a car 🙁 I hope you are ok.
luckly the car drove slow so nothing worse happened to me but my phone fell on the corner of a brick and broke 🙁
I don’t know if you do know the robot but it is Atlas from portal 2, thats why there are portals in the video 😉
Great job with it. I have to really think about the winner because so many videos were great.

Hey Derek,
Thanks for having such a great contest. We had an amazing time making this video, Hope you enjoy it.
The biggest challenge was to reduce our 7-minute video to 2 minutes.
Here is a teaser from the description: “When he wakes up next, he realizes that the AndroPower, coupled with Derek’s tutorials,
have made him the CHOSEN ONE!”

Uploading another to this page right now. Let’s hope I’m sending the right one. Mistaken file identity. A bunch of variations, some with right audio, some with wrong audio. Ack! Bear with me. (Fingers Crossed.)
Very funny and creative. Thank you for taking the time to make it 🙂

Hi, Derek. Please take another look at my video. The sound effects weren’t audible, and they are half the comedy. It’s mostly fixed, but you should set the volume so you can barely hear the narration, because the sound effect volumes won’t adhere for some reason and will play very loud by comparison. Please let me know what you think and sorry about the imperfection of my audio.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKw9iV_nOQ4
Oops, this is the link you actually need to see. It’s all fixed. Sorry to pester. Have some OCD issues sometimes.
Take Care : )
Thank you Anthony 🙂 I understand. I tend to be a bit crazy as well.
Hello Derek
First I want to thank you for all of the help you’ve given me through your tutorials. I’ve been learning android development for just a few months now and your tutorials have helped me understand things better than any other tutorials I’ve ever tried.
I’ve been working on my video for a long time now and it’s finally ready. I hope you like it and I hope it can give you a few laughs for all the hard work you do.
Here’s the link.

Thanks,

This was great!!! “You have to imagine that my older brother is my wife. He is not my wife. Don’t think he is my wife. I have a wife. Her name is Ally. So yes he is going to be singing a song pretending to be my wife.”
Then your brother singing cracked me up. Then your voice over about how you love my videos cracked me up again. And then Batman makes an appearance!!!
Great Job! I’m going to have to think about who the winner will be for a while.
Thank you very much Derek 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I wasn’t meaning to be funny on the part where I explained how my older brother wasn’t my wife, but I’m glad it made you laugh. I was just so worried that people would think he was my wife even though he was just pretending to be my wife. I hope my explanation made it clear though lol. You know because I like girls. Or I should say I like girl (my wife).
May the force be with you on your decision of the winning video.
Thank you
You made me laugh again 🙂 I wish I had neighbors like the people I meet online.
Hey Derek,
I hope you like the video.
Thank you so much for this contest.
(Sorry for bad english :P)

Hey David,
Great Job 🙂 The video was very funny. Thank you for making it. I will spend some time making a decision on the winner. Thanks again!
Everyone did great, but I don’t understand how several peeps just ignored the two minute time limit. Is right in the description and we all could have packed in more funny stuff with more time. Oh well, that’s up to Derek.
I’ll give everyone an equal chance of winning. I seriously am struggling this time to pick a winner.
Hey, you can do video on how to be happy. ;).
I’m told all of the time that I’m the happiest person people know. First you have to be healthy. By healthy i just mean you have to be at a healthy weight and you need to eat healthy food. I have a ton of recipes on my site about that.
Then you need to become successful. I think Tony Robbins said that this was the definition of success and I agree with him.
Success is being able to do :
1. What you want
2. Where you want
3. With the people you want
4. As much as you want
I think people struggle most with finding what they want to do. I think that is the only goal in life. Surround yourself with only good people that improve your lifestyle.
It will take you a few years to achieve this, but it will happen if you dedicate yourself to it. About 5 years ago I decided I was going to do it. It was hard, but worth it. I decided I wanted to have a life that allowed me to make money while learning. I also wanted to be able to help others and if possible do so for free.
I used to be a stockbroker and I had the privilege to meet many self made millionaires. I asked them how to be successful. They told me there are only 2 ways :
1. Find a bunch of people that were willing to make you more money then you had to pay them.
2. Or, develop a skill that allows you to create something once that pays you over and over.
The number 2 option was the easiest for me because it didn’t require any money. I offered business owners a free shopping cart if they paid me a percentage of all profits forever. Now I had my stream of constant income. And, if they were making money they were happy to pay me.
I hope that helps and I wish you all the best 🙂
