Apple Shares 'Behind the Scenes' Look at Recent Siri Ad Starring Cookie Monster

Having the Cookie Monster in an iPhone/Siri commercial is probably the best marketing decision by Apple in a long time. At least in my opinion. I'm definitely having Sesame Street flashbacks to my childhood. It's better than having some smug douche play around with their new iPhone.

I agree. "She knows me! She knows me!" is just the kind of happy magic that Apple does so well. It's exactly how my kids first reacted to Siri.

Too bad they can't make an ad with Alf and a cat in it.

Sorry, LizKat. But the thought just popped into my head as I was looking at your avatar.

I'd also love to see Bert and Ernie in a "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" type ad. I think that would be pretty hilarious.

I thought he tasted it once.

If I remember correctly, he just tasted the flour on the table.

Are you people going to try and offend me any longer? It's obvious that this behind-the-scenes is clearly a mock-up, there is no way that this legitimately happened behind the scenes (unless the actors are just drunk). It could have happened on the recording scene, but it was definitely intentionally made up by the actors just because they thought that was funny. Might not be scripted, but definitely stupid and not funny at all.

Sure... my two old cats run the place, I just manage the can opener. Fortunately they don't like cookies, so it has all worked out okay (so far).

Lovin' my SE, so can't quite agree with you (since it works great even though there was no Cookie Monster in the box when I opened it on Monday afternoon). iOS 9.3 solved my residential dead zone issue too, since WiFi calling works great even over my laggy DSL.

I don't mean real as in, it legitimately happened, I mean real as if what shown in the ad was unscripted and was legitimately happened while filming the ad. The answer is clearly no.

There are also "blooper reels" from animated movies where the characters would obviously not make mistakes on camera, but it's fun to watch and use your imagination.

do people seriously believe this is real

No, this is definitely BS, "cooked" up by by Cookie Monster's publicist. Cookie Monster is not the lovable clown he makes himself out to be; it's all PR. In reality, Cookie Monster is an temperamental, egotistical 47 years old has-been who spends suspiciously large amounts of time in the presence of underage monsters. He punched out a photographer for one of the tabloids just last week. Typical Hollywood *******.

Last month, Apple shared a charming iPhone 6s ad starring well-known Sesame Street character Cookie Monster, who used the iPhone 6s and the always-on "Hey Siri" feature as a cookie-baking aid.

The spot, which garnered more than 8 million views on YouTube, is one of the most popular ads in Apple's recent history, which is likely why the company today released a followup "Behind the Scenes" video depicting a humorous second look at Cookie Monster as he shoots the ad.

In the ad, we see some before and after shots, showing more footage of Cookie Monster waiting for his cookies. Cookie Monster asks over and over again when his cookies will be ready, and has a cute conversation with Siri where he offers her a cookie when they're done. The video continues on with the ding of the oven and Cookie Monster's excitement over the finished cookies, ending with Siri wishing Cookie Monster good night.


The two ads starring Cookie Monster are two in a series of iPhone 6s ads that have starred various well-known celebrities using different iPhone 6s features. Previous ads have focused on everything from Live Photos to 3D Touch and have starred Jamie Foxx, Bill Hader, Jon Favreau, and Stephen Curry.

Now I know what the Apple logo would look like without the bite taken it. At first viewing it almost didn't look symmetrical since we're so used to it with the bite taken out. I had to re-watch the end several times to believe that it was symmetrical.

That's pretty clever actually. Nice touch and 'attention to detail' for that matter.

Thanks for the kind comment. :rolleyes: Also, I don't go to parties.

That was an overreaction, I apologize. My point should have been that the purpose of this video is not to actually, literally claim that this is candid behind the scenes footage of a monster puppet, but are filmed with the intention of seeming that way. I think it's really cute and funny, personally.

I don't go to parties much, either.
