I think you should be asking why wouldn't they show it - did you miss the whole monkey love thread????

Anyway, congrats there Jason - way to go!!

[King Cobra]

I hardly ever watch TechTV.

I do have DirecTV and I'm watching channel 354 right now. That would be the...

"Meggan's gonna show you why monkeys like Macs better."

I just heard that on the show. SH** man, way to go, teabgs! :D

I haven't seen the whole thing yet, I'll be watching and waiting. :cool:^2

[Rower_CPU]

Damn cool...I'll be watching! :D

[mac15]

w00t man, thats so cool, you deserver the win hands down, I wish I could watch it

[Stike]

Congratulations, teabgs!!!

I voted for your ad!
Your monkey would have (probably:eek: ;) ) beaten my switch ad too. I regret I was too late for contest. Tech TV is not available in Germany... maybe via stream??

And teabgs, if you want to see your Switch Music in action, just click into my sig and watch my ad!

[Mr. Anderson]

someone record it and make a qt movie out of it, cause I don't get TechTV and I'd like to see what they say about it.

Thanks,

D

[Durandal7]

Right on teabgs!

I've been saying it from the begining , Go Monkey Switch :D

[vniow]

Hey arn, since you've got ReplayTV, could you extract the MPEG-2s from it and convert them to Quicktime? (assuming you can get TechTV) :)

I have the original Replay... getting MPEG2's off of it is a bit of a pain... and not easily done (unlike the new models)

we'll see...

[Rower_CPU]

It's on right now!!!

4:55pm...it'll be on again at 7:55 and 11:25 PST

Too good...now the question is, will the NYU servers hold up?

And no mention of whence the ad came (MacRumors contest)...

[King Cobra]

Son of a bytch!

I just saw it in its entirety for the first time...damn funny.

Michelle thought it was funny as well...she also mentioned something about you having a carreer... :D :eek: :p

Way to go, man! :)

Airtime: 7:55 or 7:56 PM EST


BTW: I have it recorded on VHS, but I don't see how uploading a converted file will be so easily with dial-up.

You mean Megan, don't you? :p :rolleyes:

If there's no-one who can record it, I'll give it a shot the old fashioned way (VCR) when it's on again, then digitize it tomorrow.

[King Cobra]

Whatever. I knew it started with an "M". Plus, I don't remember the last time I watched TechTV for almost an hour straight anyways. :p

[peterjhill]

I saw it. I had no idea it would be on. Right On! Awesome! Congrats!

[SilvorX]

congratz :D...now ppl around the world (well atleast canada and the US) can see some quality MR switch mock up adds on tech tv :P lol

[Mr. Anderson]

Well, too bad MacRumors wasn't mentioned, but congrats again on getting the airtime Teabgs!

D:cool:

[teabgs]

I just saw it on TechTV ala VHS copy my roomates made for me since I was in class at the time.

Um, I figure they didnt get to it from MR cause I've recieved emails about it from people that found the link from other webpages such as ellenfeiss.net and various others. Also, people have been sending it to others...so, they may not even know about the MR contest...


That guy acting like the monkey kinda made me sad.....he should never do that again...I understand he was trying to be funny...but seriously :rolleyes:

Oh, so...I can prolly get it digitized and online by tomorrow night if someone else doesnt get it done first....its kinda a crappy VHS copy I have so if anyone else has a better version for people to see thatd be much better

:D

[britboy]

Way to go teabagger! That's an incredible outcome from the modest start of a macrumors contest. Your head is no doubt swelling to several times its normal size right now :p

If anyone can digitize it, then i'd love to see the show.
Thanks

[SilvorX]

I saw it on ur site, man. That is the funniest **** ever!!!

I'm sorry i missed it on live cable television tho.... That would have been as exciting as king cobra being in MacAddict Magazine. :p

Like i said before, when gateway goes under, you should make a switch ad of the gateway cow!!

Tell me waht u think of that idea?

hehehe....Im envisioning the Gateway cow "getting it" from the Monkey.....:D :p

[King Cobra]

Hah. Smooth, orbust.

I think teabgs will get better (and maybe more) publicity than my iPod Breakout score, considering that Breakout is a game that takes two hours to play, and considering that the commercial is rather comical, one minute, and bashes PCs. :D :p

Oh, I almost forgot...you don't have to pay for a magazine to see it. :p :p

haha. I still was pretty suprised when i saw ur name (king cobra) in macaddict. It was kinda weird. How did u do that. I can never see to get past the 3rd level before i die...:( :mad:

[Shrek]

Yeah, cool! I saw it. I watch TechTV a lot and the Screensavers is my favorite show.

W2G teabgs!

[teabgs]

I'm a bit surprised how well recieved its been....I've been getting A LOT of email since I first put it up....but after Screensavers, its been about 10x the email (based on # recieved in x amount of time). crazy.....and not one Hate mail as of late.....*knock on wood*


I'm thinking about getting a Domain and making a bunch of shorts with monkeys, and other things, just to parody stuff and put some other shorts up and such......The only problem is hosting..not enough $$ to get a real server, I can afford the domain, but I'd need a good deal of space...:(

I do have a short I want to do (am trying to plan) with Monkeys and Gorillas....should be funny. just need some time. and somewhere to host it...

[Shrek]

If you really wanna get creative, teabgs, do a spoof ad of BonziBuddy (http://www.bonzi.com/bonzibuddy/bonzibuddyfreehom.asp) saying he switched to the Mac. That would be freakin' funny! :D

[vniow]

Has anybody digitized it yet? I don't have techTV so I never got to see it. :(

I completely, 100% agree. Bonzi is one of, if not the most annoying piece of annoyware out there. It was one of those programs that kept on popping up in the lab and was a real pain to try to block....grrrrr...stupid purple...thing...almost as bad as Barney...grrrr...

[G5orbust]

But what about the gateway cow!!!!??? God damnit, will someone listen??!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[irmongoose]

Guess I shouldn't be posting cauz I don't have a clue what's going on.. but... I have a few questions...

What is TechTV? What is Screensavers? Why and how did teabgs' movie get picked to go on a TV show? (BTW, great job, teabgs)

Thanks.

TechTV is a cable channel for REALLY REALLY Geeky people. Its all about games and computers and such.

Screensavers is one of their shows.

How did it get picked? :confused:

I just know they sent me an email saying it would be on, and I got it 2 hours before it aired...

Ok, fine. Then do a Shrek switch ad. :cool: :p

[Durandal7]

This just goes to show how much people love monkeys.

teabgs, if you take my suggestion from the contest forum and incorporate a woman in a bikini then you could get the ad on the NBC Nightly News ;)

i hate to say it teabgs, but i thouroghly expected the monkey to begin flinging his own excrement in consternation about his experience with windows.(i couldnt help it, he was made of brown clay)

why do you hate to say it?


I thought about it....almost had it, but decided against it...also, had a few other shots that I didnt do because they would have been a bit more complicated technically
