I agree with Brad, he starts laughing before he hears the joke!
He’s a great actor?

It’s because the iPhone was first discovered by the public when an Apple designer went out drinking and “forgot” the iphone at a bar. I do however like reading all the imaginative guesses everyone here has lol

It is a failed joke. The reference is either so esoteric that it can’t be easily explained (as is evidenced by the various theories presented here), or only an Apple dweeb (and I qualify) would get it (and I don’t). It was a poor choice to include in the ad. The ad director was stupid to use it. The script should have had a re-write.

I think a better question is why does Malcovitch start laughing before the phone finises saying iPhone. He starts about the time siri says “2 iph”.

“Two i phones walk into a bar, i forget the rest” its funny because if you’re an i phone, you don’t forget anything, cause you can just look it up

I interpreted the joke as a play on the apple genius bar,

Two iPhones walk into a bar [Apple's genius bar]
I forget the rest [The ONLY thing the "Genius bar" does, format and reload the iPhones as the solution to the problem.]

Well played apple

‘Two iPhones walk into a bar. I forget the rest.’ – It’s a play on the idea of the word ‘bar.’ In the first part, you assume the bar as a physical place. In the punch line, the bar means phone reception.

@Shawn: I think the joke is she is one of the iPhones who did it. After walking into the bar, she got drunk and forgot everything that happened.

I apologize if that wasn’t a serious comment, but I was actually wondering about the joke myself. That is my interpretation of it.

I think it’s a reference to the iPhones that have been left in bars prior to their release
