New Get A Mac Ad: Referee

[Frisco]

Unfortunately most people who see this ad have no idea what "Vista" and "Leopard" are.

 

[sushi]

the ad is already at http://www.apple.com/getamac/

It's okay. Not as funny as some of the others.

 

[t0mat0]

and also some people don't know what a "vista" or a "leopard" can look like...

Does anybody really understand these commercials?

I know I sound like an idiot, but consider a person that has never used a computer or don't know anything about them, they don't know what the hell the commercial is about, they just show a photo of the iMac at the end and still kinda clueless.


Anybody agree with me?

I feel they are just igniting the PC/Mac fires and starting more arguments with these commercials.

Bingo! That's all they need to do. In fact, that's the whole point of all the cuteness is to get people to look at the iMac, see the logo, remember the name. You just passed your first lesson in Marketing 101!

yeah, this wasn't the best getamac ad

New Get A Mac Ad: Referee



Apple has released a new Get a Mac ad entitled "Referee" in conjunction with the beginning of the NFL playoffs.





In the ad, PC calls in a referee to prevent Mac from making the claim that Leopard is better and faster than Vista. The referee, however, sides with Mac, and when PC argues, PC is "ejected."

It's always nice to see more Apple ads.

The UAC one really hit the spot.

Lame

This ad series is running out of steam. This one is pretty lame.

 

[FJ218700]

Just watched it, possibly the worst one of the series.

 

[quagmire]

Can you eject people in football?

 

[saxofunk]

not my fav

Not the best one in the series but gets the point across

 

[Xeem]

Yeah, it wasn't very good. At least they mention Leopard in this one; most of the recent ads have focused so much on Vista bashing that they seemingly forget to advertise the Mac OS.

 

[tkidBOSTON]

Wow, this series of ads have really gone downhill. They need to move on to something a bit more productive and informative.

 

[MidiMonk]

big yawn

Apple really needs to look closer in the mirror, as of late pure crapple

 

[SheriffParker]

Poor PC, he always gets the short end of the stick.

 

[CWallace]

This ad series is running out of steam. This one is pretty lame.

Agreed.

Can you eject people in football?

Yes you can. Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Warren Sapp was ejected from the December 23rd, 2007 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after receiving three unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

 

[mulletman13]

Wow that was completely uncalled for... 'faster and better'? Blah, mudslinging was never a glamorous business. I'm really disappointed with Apple for this.

 

[MarkMS]

Wow, this series of ads have really gone downhill. They need to move on to something a bit more productive and informative.

Yeah! That's what I've been thinking. They need to do something similar to the iPhone commercials.

Can you eject people in football?

yes, you can be ejected in a football game

 

[BIK]

"This ad series is running out of steam. This one is pretty lame."



Agreed.


But don't do anything like those newfangled iPhone ads where people describe their experience with the iPhone.


Time for Apple to give its ad campaign a refresh at Macworld.

 

[Yankees 4 Life]

Agreed.




Yes you can. Los Angeles Raiders defensive tackle Warren Sapp was ejected from the December 23rd, 2006 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after receiving three unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

He actually plays for the oakland raiders, they moved decades ago

Just watched it, possibly the worst one of the series.

yeah it could be. but i'm still glad that they are making them. i've seen far worse commercials out there....

 

[ezekielrage_99]

I'd like to see one of those with the Australian cricket team and the Indian cricket team.... I could seem so many insults about monkeys there
