Wow, the only one in 21 comments who didn't like it. You are statistically less than 5% of the population…

I didn't like it either. I actually saw it on TV last night and I remember making an "ugh" sound after seeing it.

you should visit Tokyo's harajuku district someday. for some people, is a lifestyle.

I just looked up some images of harajuku fashion. Very interesting choices.

Try doing a fun and playful ad like that with the stodgy 'gold' iPhone. You'd have a bunch of suits sitting around Starbucks sharing stock tips.

What are the Klingons saying?

I bet they are saying "Hello! (and we come to kick your ars!)"

Loved it during the keynote, love it now. I think the iPhone 5c sales will pickup pretty soon.

Another great ad, that speaks to people's emotions. Despite some people's reservations about the 5Cs early sales assumptions, I also suspect this phone will sell really well over it's life, unlike the explosion of initial interest in 'state of the art' flagship phones, that starts to wane after about 6-8 months, when the must-have-the-latest-tech crowd starts looking forward to, and waiting for, the next flagship model.

What I noticed most often was how the iPhone's screen was still active for so many of the calls, as if the proximity sensor wasn't working.

You mean a steel reinforced polycarbonate 5C for the "have's" and a 5S for the "have more's"

Pretty good it covered everything, I think I even saw a crack dealer in there.

Almost - the first guy says "nuqneH" (literally "what do you want") and the second guy demands to know where they are keeping the chocolate.

Humm.

chocolate could be code word for chocolate ladies.

Nitpicking, but I wish they included an Australian greeting! I suppose sometimes it feels like us Aussies get forgotten. Otherwise I absolutely love this ad. It's way better than any of the serious ads for the 5. Apple really knows how to do 'fun'.
