I really enjoyed this read and thought you might as well. It's quite humorous on many levels (ie- even celebs who are paid to promote Samsung use iPhones).



The ad targets Apple's iPhone 6 Plus as being late to the phablet party that Samsung launched in 2011. The spot, along with others similarly mocking Apple, is voiced by Neal Brennan, a standup comic and co-creator of "The Chapelle Show" (for which he was nominated for three Emmys).

Samsung has no problem paying entertainers and athletes money to stand next to their products, but that doesn't mean they actually use Samsung's stuff. LA Weekly wrote earlier this year that Brennan is "constantly creating and updating numerous sketch/sitcom/stand-up idea lists on his iPhone," and that "Brennan and Dave Chappelle text and FaceTime" between their performances together.


Yep, the voice of the Samsung ads uses iPhone.
