Seth MacFarlane does a half-hour Microsoft commercial for FOX

The "Almost Live Comedy Show" will be delivered without commercial ad time, without network promotion and without advertising breaks. That's good, right? Well, it will feature unique Windows 7-branded programming that will be blended into the programming itself.

Anyone else going to watch? This could lead to some interesting things happening with the "standard TV formula"

 

[Brikar99]

Wow, it's like three things I don't really care about all in one place!

 

[Candlelight]

Sounds interesting. Might watch.

Actually I'm getting a flashback to 14 years ago when they hired Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston to launch Windows 95 in that horrible cyber-sitcom.

Somebody here had a link to that Win95 thing. I couldn';t get through the introductory voiceover. It was horrible, I tellz ya... HORRIBLE!!

As for Seth Macfarlane... CORPORATE SELLOUT!

Yeah, I went there !!

 

[Middle Earther]

You would think they could come up with a catchier, SHORTER, title.

When has Seth MacFarlane not been a sellout?

 

[Australis]

I was always under the impression that FG was rich in integrity because of its edgy attitude.

No, I don't like the show. Yes, it's sarcasm.

Damn, now I'm starting to sound like Peter Griffin...

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh....

Well, Microsoft branding in the show is STILL probably less annoying than those Apple commercials with the Mac Douche and the PC Fatass.

But the former is about crap stolen from others and passed off as their own "innovations", and the latter is about solid products by people who actually INVENT things or pay to legally license them ...

[Vance]

Apple... where "Originality" means "Xerox!" Gotta love the layers of irony.

Xerox, who was PAID for the licensing of their early GUI interface. And whose PARC developers became millionaires at Apple.

Going to have to skip this. I don't really enjoy any of MacFarlane's work other than Family Guy, but even that isn't too great sometimes.

Come on, Apple does its share of copying too.

As long as Microsoft does some good things like producing "The Guild" I don't have a problem with this.
