Maybe Im weird but I always feel bad for PC guy when I see one of these commercials. I dont want to point & laugh at him, I want to hug him & say its ok, b/c he can never get the best of Mac guy no matter how much he tries. And I always thought Mac guy was annoying when he was in Ed.

I love this series of ads.

"I've been error free for over a week"

Makes me hestitate to buy a non-Mac

 

[Ceridwen]

Every time the Mac I use at work freezes up on me, I want to kick Justin Long in the teeth.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Yeah, I usually find those Mac/PC commercials to have the opposite effect on me. I can't remember which specific commercial it was, but there was one where the Mac guy was talking about something he could do "better" and I just thought, but I don't want my computer to do that.

Mac killed my inner child.

I think they're great. And whenever he shows up on "The Daily Show", it's gold.

Say what you will about the Mac ads, at least they occasionally point out a Mac feature.

Contrast with Microsoft's attempt to be cute and endearing. Watch this and you'll be begging for Justin Long. At least he sometimes talks about computer features.

I mean, it's kind of funny for the most part, but if I ever want to see Bill Gates do THAT again, I'll give Satan a call, thanks.

Small White car...after watching the vid...I agree 100%...Soo whats Satan doing this summer

Wow... that commercial was pretty bad. Jerry Seinfeld will alllllways be funnier than Justin Long. Except in that commercial.

 

[blablover5]

I just read that commercial as "Look at me, I'm Bill Gates. I have so much money I can hire Jerry Seinfeld to fit and lace shoes for me. Cower before me mortals!"

 

[Brikar99]

If he'd actually said that, it would've been AMAZING.

 

[Nerroth]

"Wow, those people down there look like ants!"

"They ARE ants, Michael... THEY ARE ANTS!"

 

[Aragorn]

Be nice to Bill Gates. He's got a drone lackey on this board who touts unconditional Xbox 360 love every other post.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

A lot of guys seem to react negatively to Justin Long on a visceral level - frikken dweeb thinks he's so cool, I'd like to throw him under a bus, rarr rarr rarrr - makes me wonder whether the audition selection committee included any heterosexual males?

 

[Agent Richard07]

Apparently, that Jerry Seinfeld/Bill Gates commercial is supposed to be the beginning of a series of commercials. I can't wait to see what they come out with.

Oh! I hadn't even realized that was the same guy. John Hodgman, is it? TDS's "resident expert?"

I seem to have a chronic inability to recognize TDS commentators when they get other gigs. I didn't recognize Aasif Mandvi as the pizza guy from Spider-Man 2 either. Although I did recognize Steven Colbert when he played a killer on Law & Order: CI, but then, he was credited rather prominently.

Ironically, I seem to have a chronic ability to recognize all sorts of people in other gigs. Hodgman was also recently in "Baby Mama" with Tina Fey as her less-than-knowledgeable fertility doctor and Aasif Mandvi had a recurring role as a doctor on "Jericho".

 

[Aragorn]

Supposedly Justin Long's with Kirsten Dunst now, so that's even more TrekBBS hate for him.

There was a bit from one Daily Show about a year ago that was something like....

Hodgeman: "So, imagine I'm a computer----"
Stewart: "What kind of computer?"
Hodgeman: "What?"
Stewart: "What kind of computer are you?"
Hodgeman: "Well, statistically, I suppose I'm probably a Windows machine."
Stewart: "As in....."
Hodgeman: *sigh* "I'm.....I'm a PC."
Stewart: "Then that would make me some.....other kind....."
Hodgeman: "Okay, enough of that."

 

[Gepard]

Yup. Stewart even forced him to say "I'm a PC" during a segment on net neutrality. EDIT: Aww crap, Lindley beat me to it.

I love the Mac ads, but mostly because PC is so cute and cuddly, in a loser kind of way. If I wasn't already a Machead, those ads would never make me want to switch--what does a Mac do, again, except not crash?
