I liked it. It was unexpected, original and fun. It was done with a good taste, better taste than iOS and OS X flat UI 
It looks like Apple is trying to be different. Maybe this video would make more sense if they announced at the keynote the new revolutionary Apple TV as they planned, with the App Store, apps, games et al.
I enjoyed it. The best part was about Tim Cooks in an elevator. I'm glad he can be not so serious about himself. I hope it will help him in the end to be more flexible in acknowledging own mistakes and fixing errors.

I didn't care a lot for it, but I loved John Hodgman amongst the "Tim"s.
Thanks, there was some familiarity that I couldn't place and Birdman fits right in.
That probably was part of it (although Apple going for simplicity is a common theme not only applied to keynotes).
"Too many Cooks," I think, or it might have been, "My broth is spoiled."
One or t'other.
I've never heard of single quotes referred to as disambiguation marks before. Is that a real thing? Couldn't find anything online about it.
Nobody else noticed "PC Guy" John Hodgman is one of the Tim Cook-a-likes (far right)?
Not sure why you guys think that is John Hodgman...
I know it's short, but does anybody know what the music that plays during the "epiphany" moment is? You know, when Bill Hader is staring at the water bottle and Mac?
That is definitely John Hodgman. He's a big Mac guy. Hates Windows with a passion. Kinda odd seeing that he was the PC guy but he's a good actor.
I still liked the Mac VS PC ones. That was clever because it was based on their ad campaign at the time.
But this one caught me off guard and thus I was entertained by it. Apple is as much an entertainment company (and fasion if you will), just as it is a tech company now.

This was so bloody funny and clever haha! Loved it! "Rebooting" - Mac startup sound- hah was so great.
She's saying: "it's the Tim Cook-a-likes you asked for"
I'm a Norwegian living in Australia and even I know who Bill Hader and what SNL is. You guys need to get out more.
Ok, explain the reason he didn't give stats before the September event.
The WWDC keynote lasted 2.5 hours, he didn't have time.
It adds a sense of realness to me, haha. I've seen a few people make that mistake.
The funniest thing about that is that I now hear that sound at least 5 times a day.
