Opera on CollegeHumor

March 15, 2010 · by Aleksander Aas

CollegeHumor pushed out a browser "comparison" last week. It's funny, but it does not really resemble our view on Opera. We want to know what "Mode of Transportation" Opera resembles for you?

    I still smile from it. Thanks. :smile:

    How about something like PGO Cevennes Turbo-CNG Convertible?
    Lightweight, convertible, turbocharged, clean, fast, sexy... sounds like Opera to me ;p

    Very funny. Maybe not with functionality, but the look really resembles Opera. :smile:

  • Sami SerolaMonday, March 15, 2010 3:18:57 PM

    Firefox does the job, if you just know how to use it :bigsmile:

    Safari, well, you know what they say about bicycles... Quick in subburb, but not safe downtown or on information highways :devil:

    Opera... Hmm... They obviously copy pasted Opera Mini 3 running on MicroEmulator. They should update their humor :p:

    Internet Explorer :awww: Poor man's horse, died away just when it learned how to get along without eating.

    Chrome defines the speed, and you... don't know how to control it :scared:

    Looks more like a Firefox to me :bigsmile: What about this one?

    EDIT: Seriously speaking, I do not see Opera as a Ferrari :smile: Something more suitable for all kinds of roads sounds better, like Range Rover:

  • Cutting SpoonMonday, March 15, 2010 3:52:55 PM

    ....a police car? Lots of speed, lots of integrated features, frequently called on to rescue the victims of accidents on other transportation?

  • CoyoteeMonday, March 15, 2010 4:10:53 PM

    US Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter armed with a full load of 12 Hellfire anti-tank missiles.

    Look see at http://www.militarypictures.info/d/392-3/AH64.jpg

  • Sami SerolaMonday, March 15, 2010 4:21:09 PM

    AH64 sounds pretty efficient :wink: But Opera is also fun to use like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

  • Knut Remi "DrLaunch" LøvliMonday, March 15, 2010 5:21:59 PM

    et's see. Opera is faster than its competition, comes with more features by default, is faster for power users, looks pretty slick, converts to different modes. But it can only fit a few kinds of add-ons and is more difficult the first time for newbies.

    That should make Opera a luxurious convertible sports car from 2010 with a mid mounted engine. If you want to fit a bass and amplifier you're out of luck. But it already comes with a hi-fi sound system, and most modern features.

  • BelfragerMonday, March 15, 2010 5:28:46 PM

    Definitely a Tesla. 100% Torque, 100% of the Time.

  • MartinMonday, March 15, 2010 5:36:14 PM

    I'm not that good with cars, but a Coupé utility ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupe_Utility )springs to mind. I can't find the make and model but I know I saw one on Top Gear, which more or less was a sports car but with hidden cargo bed at the back.

    And what could be closer to Opera? It looks sleek, it goes like a bat out of hell and when you look closer it's NOT the sports car you thought, but a strong and reliable work horse =)

  • Martin RauscherMonday, March 15, 2010 6:23:13 PM

    It's a Transformer! It can transform from a Smart to Mercedes and then into a bulldozer with only a few clicks and without getting any extras!

    Opera - All extras included.

  • Cutting SpoonMonday, March 15, 2010 6:31:44 PM

    What about one of those UFOs from Independence Day?

  • Charles SchlossMonday, March 15, 2010 6:31:59 PM

    I would say an electric car as it is clean, fast and safe and you can still customize it if you want

  • Ice ArdorMonday, March 15, 2010 9:49:16 PM

    Definitely the X-43A. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0403/x43a2_nasa_big.jpg -

    I think Opera is something like this

    Sharks. Lasers. Nao.

    Either that or it's like flying on SuperBama's back.

    I made a similar thread long time ago, but not one posted. :awww:

    That's Opera

    I love that one, but if you want prizes people: make something yourself :smile:

  • Thiago H. de Paula FigueiredoTuesday, March 16, 2010 12:29:51 PM

    I think Opera is more similar to a Mini Cooper: small, feature-packed, cool, stylish, and fast. :smile:

    I did myself.. As long as I know to do so: copying from various pictures and piecing them together. :p:

    James Bond's Aston Martin:

    Beautiful, fast, secure, and lots of hidden features no one knows about (it's even skinnable sort of)

    Can be made entirely see-through.

    Warp speed into the future, Baby.

  • RSDWednesday, March 17, 2010 12:13:01 PM

    It's like an alien spaceship.
    You don't know how does everything work at first but the more you know it, the more you like it.

  • NicoWednesday, March 17, 2010 1:24:54 PM

    For me, Opera is like the Batmobile (from the Tim Burton movies):

    It is elegant, clean, streamlined and really fast, but also has got a lot of customization options and hidden features which are not visible on first sight.

    One more thing: Remember the scene in Batman Returns, where Batman has to go through a tiny split between two walls with his Batmobile? He just pushed a button and the Batmobile loses some of its part and became really thin: That's Opera Turbo! :bigsmile:

  • AuxWednesday, March 17, 2010 1:39:23 PM

    I told this many times: Opera for me is a Mercedes CL 65AMG. Fast, comfortable, no compromises made. And f**k fuel economy too!

  • Cutting SpoonWednesday, March 17, 2010 3:55:18 PM

    Well it's not like the Iron Man. I don't think the founder ever drank that much, and his reactor would have to be red.

  • skysamuraiThursday, March 18, 2010 3:47:57 PM

    A Mini Cooper S. Everyone always looks at them when they drive down the road and they don't really understand then but once they hear about how awesome they are from other people they get hooked too.

  • KArkhonThursday, March 18, 2010 7:19:54 PM

    Im thinking Pagani Zonda. Not a lot of people know about it, but it kicks ass :smile:

  • reebokerMonday, March 22, 2010 1:13:53 PM

    My Opera

    :bigsmile:

  • Sami SerolaFriday, April 2, 2010 7:28:50 AM

    Okay, here's Opera for you folks, as I see it. A little rough on edges but takes the corners well :bigsmile:


    EDIT: @ Aleksander - Does this qualify? I took the photo and made the manipulation. As you can see, this is how Opera logo with CSS look like on Opera Mini browser :p:
