Amazon made headlines late last year thanks to a 60 Minutes news piece about Amazon Prime Air, a same-day delivery concept that would use octocopters (drones) to literally fly your order right to your doorstep.

Not one to miss an opportunity to poke fun at the competition, Netflix recently spoofed the service with a promotional video for Drone 2 Home. Unlike other companies that are trying to rush unproven technology to market, Netflix literally spent days working out most of the bugs according to DVD division GM Hank Breeggemann.

The video was apparently put together for the division’s annual meeting but either way, it’s good for some laughs.

The only thing that would make the video perfect, is if the drones flew out of the Amazon CEO's butt.

After all, if you can talk out of it, you should be able to it as a runway.

A scene overheard at the Amazon executive offices. "What the heck is wrong with the boss? He sure has a bug up his behind today"! When an employee blurts out, "that's not a bug, it's an "otocopter".....;)
