Funny video of Optimus Prime in The Late Show with David Letterman - totally hilarious

After a long tough day of saving Sam Witwicky and battling the Decepticons, Optimus Prime decided to take an evening off to entertain the tele audience. Stand up comedies still have a decent number of viewers. Probably, Prime is thinking of making some quick dollars for a new paint job.

I laughed so much after seeing this video of Optimus Prime in The Late Show with David Letterman. It's absolutely hilarious with Optimus Prime reading out lines which are totally not his cup of tea...err...oil. "Ten Things That Sound Cool When Spoken By a Giant Robot" section of the programme where Letterman introduces Optimus to deliver some silly one-liners is a delight to watch. The way he enunciates each one of them in his characteristic voice is an absolute treat. Save the applause for the brilliant marketing team of TF2 and of course the CGI experts who rendered Optimus specifically for this show. Brilliant sound editing and sound design as well. The way he walks in carefully so that he doesn't knock something over and the panache with which he played it off does make the whole thing click. Letterman, as always played along with his charm and sense of humour. I know that you won't miss to appreciate Peter Cullen for lending his voice to the Autobot.
