Apple Posts Two New iPad Television Ads, 'Alive' and 'Together'

YeahBuddy · Feb 17, 2013

These are without a doubt their best ads in a while, just saying.

I don't like people yelling at me. That's why I have to mute the theme song to Modern Family each week.

Toca hair salon is pretty cool

I play with that with the kids.

If anyone can identify some of the other apps shown in the ad, I'll add them to the article.

Whats the app that shows all the instruments being played by 4 people on one ipad?

needfx said:
that looks like a jam session on a single ipad

It is called Rockmate ($2.99)

What is the name of the learning app in the second ad? The one that shows a light switch and "Ll is for light"?

annoying as all hell just pissed me off and made me spaz and its just a bunch of people screaming random words that i cant even understand, luckily they wrote it on the screen

Those were the lamest ads I've seen from Apple. Wonder how much the loser behind them got paid.

You've never been to Thailand, have you?

MR posters don't like the ads. What a surprise.

theanimaster · Feb 17, 2013

Safari seems faster now.

Rogifan · Feb 17, 2013

At least these ads show people doing stuff with the device unlike the Surface where we get people dancing and an emphasis on the click of the keyboard and kickstand.

tech4all · Feb 17, 2013

They're decent ads. Shows what you can do with the iPad.

For those who are complaining about the 'screaming' of words, don't ever go out in the public as you might get annoyed. They 'screamed' a different what three times in 30 seconds...?

notjustjay · Feb 17, 2013

These reminded me of Sesame Street sketches.

Also: I was waiting for them to yell "iPad!" at the end. It never came

SchneiderMan · Feb 17, 2013

I find these very distasteful. Ads aren't as sharp as when SJ had the final word.

lolkthxbai · Feb 17, 2013

I actually liked the ads and I think if it gets people to wonder what app it was then its served its purpose and gets the job done.

beware beware

Exotic-Car Man · Feb 17, 2013

I like these, but they should yell "iPad" at the end.

carl0sian · Feb 17, 2013

i like these ads..

and now....let the anti-Apple comments begin...

..can't wait to see who makes the first "no specs at all on these ads" comment :apple:

I like these ads.

cdmoore74 · Feb 17, 2013

These ads are starting to become boring. 2 hands, white background, upbeat tunes while showing apps. Samsung's Superbowl commercial was funny and had decent actors.

The ads are not meant for Steve Jobs cultist, they are meant for normal consumers with normal lives.
