That's actually an "ad".
And yes...it was funny, but the only product I'll buy from Microsoft is Office.
I think this is the first commercial in a long time that isn't a MS marketing fail
Great commercial. One of the best I've seen in a while and it accurately portrays iPhone and Android stigmas. Good job.
That's really funny, especially the "iSheep" and "copybox" parts
Problem is that the "isheep' is such a weak argument.
Calling people sheep because they use the best, highest rated, most reliable and so on product is pretty stupid all around.
Before even playing the video I saw the still and asked myself, wait so the people who use Windows phones are the waiters?! What message does it send....?
Otherwise it was kind of funny but a bit over the top, like their Surface commercial, trying too too hard.

Great commercial, 10 for creativity and humor ...But I'm sticking with my iPhone, and my jailbreak, and the fights. All you docile people can grab a Windows phone and have fun with your 10 whole apps One of my best friends has this phone and she hates the darn thing. When I used her phone I was nothing but confused... Kinda like the first time I turned on Win8 lol.

Have any of you guys experienced many (real) people arguing over which smartphone is the best — outside the tech/nerd sphere?
Where I live (Denmark), it is illegal.

Ya don't say.
So it doesn't really matter how funny Microsoft's Lumia ads are.
Welcome to the New World Order, Ballmer.
Since they'll have trouble finding a real customer who wants to swtich, Microsoft should hire Wes Rataushk & Associates for another fake switch ad!
I give MS major props for this commercial. But it's just a commercial and not me buying their phones.
Must of read through the comment section on Engadget for inspiration in this commercial
LOL You're absolutely right. They get so heated on there. Great ad.
I agree. The other funny part is the were hundreds of the other phones but only two windows phones.That's definitely one of the funniest phone adverts I've seen for a long time
It's sort of funny in places but IMO ultimately meaningless, just like their infamous Shoe Circus ad. It does more to advertise devices by Apple and Samsung. The only thing about Nokia and Microsoft that I learn from this is that their phones are brightly colored and their owners are smug.
