New 'Get A Mac' Ads Released

[nagromme]

We don't want new ads! We want new C2D 13" Macbook!

Apple should assign some people to make ads, and some people to build computers. Different employees for different tasks. I'm going to write to Apple with that idea This would also help with all the times when Apple stops making Macs because their four Mac people are all too busy designing iPods

I've hated these ads since the beginning and the news ones don't do anything to help. Apple could convey the same message more effectively by pushing by just showing the advantages of the Mac and they wouldn't look like a bunch of arrogant jerks going it. That being said, Gisele Bündchen needs to be in more ads.

You may hate them but Apple obviously thinks they are working well and I assume they must be since they keep making more. I'm sure they would have stopped by now if the campaign was bombing. I know several people who are PC users who like the ads and think they are funny.

I guess I was a bit to early on this earlier today in the Canadian section. But they first appeared around noon today on http://www.news.com... By default the sound is turned off not sure if Apple is to happy about that.

I thought she said "Hi, I am mac humvee..."

Started to think, hmm wonder what this mac humvee is, curious why we have not heard about this before.

Self Pity was great!

I thought that when PC rolled over and said "let me just lay here and depreciate" I might wet my pants! As an accountant, I catch a lot of grief for being like PC. However,I always grab my trusty 12" PB when I have presentations to make, I KNOW that it will see the projector w/o any work on my part.
Look at what a 3 year old PB brings on the open market vs a three year old windows machine in terms of % of original purchase price. PCs just sit there and depreciate!

If they showed you in the ad, then people would never go to a mac store to find out what it is all about. The ads peek curiousity, making people laugh and wanting to find out what is the big difference.

After seeing "Better Results", I can't wait to see "Best Result"!!

They are fun!

But will they actually help people cross the line?

 

[danielbriggs]

i'm loving the self pitty one!

Class!!!

I don't think they are trying to get an all out switch. I think they are more trying to plant seeds tat may pique people's interest next time a computer purchase comes up.

My mum had no idea Macs don't get viruses until she saw the ads.

 

[Some_Big_Spoon]

How 'bout some new Macs to go them ads?

Hmm... indeed.

This does contribute to the "coolness factor" of getting a Mac.
And somehow it did inform your mother!

 

[Glen Quagmire]

Okay, don't take this as me bashing other cultures, but couldn't they have found an attractive model who could've said, "Hi, I'm a Mac home movie" in a fashion that was easier to understand?

I mean, someone might take that as "uh oh... my Mac home Movie is going to have an accent!"

...okay not really. I just had to listen to it a couple times to figure out what she was actually saying... and not to gawk. Not at all.

Perhaps you need your hearing tested.

 

[gugy]

They are all right.
I think the novelty is wearing off.
I wish they move into a new concept, just to be different and fresh.

I really hoped to see Gisele in a bikini!

 

[rockthecasbah]

No i agree with MacsRgr8, Giselle's accent was very thick and it wasn't the easiest to understand, but it wasn't like a foreign language... you got the idea of what she tried to say. It doesn't matter anyway shes gorgeous

 

[Lord Blackadder]

These ads continue to kick a**.

 

[iJaz]

Excellent stuff!
Of course Better Results was good, but Self Pitty was even better. I'm glad they told about Office.

 

[MattyMac]

Nice...very nice!

 

[EGT]

Now if only the UK could get one or two of 'em. Come on Apple, just one!

I agree, she's attractive but her delivery is awful, sorry. Sounds like she says "homevee" or something. I even knew what the ad was about and it threw me for a second.

 

[Butters]

You know I've never once seen a single one of these Get a Mac ads on TV (UK)

 

[longofest]

New Poll in the thread

Not that I don't fully expect what will win this one, but note that there is now a poll for you guys to pick which one you liked best.

I'm with the majority so far here... Better Results rocked.

Let it be Better Results

 

[psycoswimmer]

Way to go Apple.

Better Results was the best, but I liked how they talked about Office in Self Pity. The Counseling one was okay. Just okay.

 

[vohdoun]

The Counseling one was okay. Just okay.

She seems to be the kind of woman that would crank out the whip or get into kinky office *ahem* stuff.
