Although the Apple iPad was officially announced today, the name was actually coined nearly four years ago — by MadTV and a particularly raunchy sketch about bodily functions.

Back in 2006, TUAW posted this sketch and praised it for its use of satire: “The ‘iPad’ ad wins bonus points for coming complete with a spoof of the iPod silhouette ads and a mock voice-over of Bono.”
While these references seem rather retro now, the line, “Please don’t make us explain how it works,” rings particularly true for many tech bloggers at this point. Check out the not-so-dated spoof below. It’s totally NSFW, btw.
